A gigantic ice trust is about to
be formed inrNew York City, and
thirty wholesale companies have
already combined to advance .the
price of ice for the coming summer.
It will be seen by referring to our
new advertisements that Mr. Jos W. I
Eckart ras established himself in
New Iberia, and offers his services
to our people as watchmaker and
jeweler. Call and see him when you
visit that place.
The attention of our readers is
directed to the advertisement of Mr.
H. W. Allegers the great organ
manufacturer, Washington, N. J.
Any one wishing a first-class church
or parlor organ would do well to
purdhase of him.
Mrs. Sibley, the widow of General
John H. Sibley, of the Confederate
army, died at Fredericksburg, Va.,
onuthe 6th. The cause of her death
is attributed to the failure of the
passage of the bill by congress for
her relief, an amount expected by
her for the patent on the Sibley tent.
It appears from a report made in <
the English House of Commons that :
there are now in prison 223 chil
dren between the ages of twelve and (
sixteen. One of the most ordinary
crimiies for which country magistrates
punish the unlucky little creatures p
is that of pulling up and eating
turnips on somebody, else's estate.
The late unpleasant disturbance
in New Iberia has' been settled for
the present. The investigation before
the mayor of that place, by Attorney
General Rogers, has been completed
and a number of citizens of the town
bo.ind over to appear before the
district court on the charge of as
sau}t and battery and driving peo
ple 'from the paiish.
The French scientific journal, La
NJature, states that the extraction
of oil from wood in Sweden is be
coming year by year a "more impor
tant 'intlestr . Those parts of the
trees'whfch have hitherto been re
gar4 ,aq eless, such as the stumps
andi'roots,.are no longer left in the
forcet to rot, -but are subjected to
varibus "methods of treatment, by
whiclh, pot only wood oil, but also
turpeatine, creosote, acid of vinegar,
charcoaland tar are obtained from
them. ' The-oil, as it is now usual ly
extracted, can not be burned in
ordinary lamps,, for it smokes top
mnch; but it may be used in special
lamps, which are not dissimilar to
the usual photogen lamps. The
latter can easily be adapted to wood
oil, and when the oil is mixed with
a certain quantity of photogen, it
may be consumed in ordinary lamps.
It costs about 3d. per pint, it does
not explode and lasts twenty-five
times longer than photogen. When
intended for lighting, it is extracted
wholly fropm pines and firs. Thirty
.factories in Sweden make its extrac
tion part of their business, and the
production is now considerable.

As we are alnost in daily receipt
of letters making inquiries of this
section of our State, we can only i
answer now, as we have horetofore
stated, all that is necessary to fill 1
up our country with a good and
intelligent class of farmers, is for
them to become acquainted with the
advantages Louisiana possesses over
other States in the way of agricul
ture and stock-raising. To those
seeking new hom'es in the South, we
will venture to assert that a finer
and more productive country can
not be foumd than this section of
Louisiana. After leaving the beauti
fal Teche country the first thing
that greets *the eye of the travclcr
are the board, undulating prairies,
rolling from you like the waves ofI
old ocean, gently landing you in
rich valleys. All you see, however,
is not prairie, for here and there
you find groves, woodlands, young
and vigorous, just in their prinme,
blending with the "smoothed-visaged
front" of the boundless prairie,
such as the artist delights to copy
and the sturdy former to cultivate.
These prairies are admirably adap- I
ted to rearing of cattle, horses and
mules, and the more rolling lands
peculiarly to the raising of sheep.
The soil on these prairies are
unsurpassed in fertility and salubri
ty. They produce cotton, corn, cane,
and all kinds of cereals grown in this
section. The soil and climate is
admirably adapted to grape cul
ture, and much attention is now
being given to vine:yards in some
parts of this section of the State.
Fruit of almost all kindk do well
e hore. Our forests afford good ranges
for hogs, and our streams abound
with fish of various kinds. In short,
e Vermilion parish is the country for
r persons of limited means who wish
Sto farm, as well as for the merchant
or manufacture'; and what we say
o!f this p ri.Th, the same aI" ;ec said
a of the whole At totkpas country.
.t The institutions of the country are
I- now homogenous, and the most
I cordial and generous spirit exists
y towgtids all who come as friends
s to identify themselves with the
a growing'fi;ture of our people. Come
g to our southern clime a.nd settle
among us if you with to prosper..
We give the fi'llowing to our
rc.ders lhe.use of it:. truthfulness.
I. is rather a queer piece of poetic
prose, and yec contains more truth
than poetry. We conrner.d it to
the notice of all busi cess men:
When trade grew slack, and
notes fell due, the merchant's face
grew long and blue; his dreams
were troubled through the night
with sheriff's bailiffs all in sight. At
last his wife unto him said, "Rise
up, at once, get out of bed, and get
your paper, ink and pen, and say
these words unto all men:
"My goods I wish to sell to you,
and to your wife and daughters too;
my prices they shall be so low,
that each shall buy before they go."
"He did as his good wife advised,
and in the paper advertised. Ci'owds
came and bonght of all he had; his
notes were paid his dreams wereglad,
and he will tell you to this day, how
well did printer's ink repay.
"Hie told us with a knowing wink,
how he was saved with printer's
ink.
"Another in a place as tight, con
tented was the press to slight. "And
did not let the people know, of what
he had or where to go.
"His drafts were due and were
not paid; a levy on his good was
made; the store was closed until
the sale, and for some time he was
in jail. A bankrupt now without
a cent, at leisure he can deep repent,
that he was foolish and unwise, and
did not freely advertise."
The United States government
will plant a cargo of lobsters along
the rock jetty off Galveston, Texas,
with a view of discovering whethlr
the propagation of this popular
shell fish is feasible or not in those
W waters.
General ILongstreet-paded through
Chattanooga, Tenn., on Monday, on
his way to Petersburg, Va., where s
he goes to vjiit General Mahone.
From there he will go to Washing= A
toll to meet the committee of ar
rangements, which has charge of
President Harrison's inauguration. i
In.an interviewirelative to the com- 1:
position of Presidernt Harrison's
cabinet, the general expressed the v
opinion thp r4n Southern man will I
he honored w.itlIa cabinet position. t
If lie should l~,4eewill be a native
born Soatiiraer, but for some un
fortunate things that have been said
against the'colored people by Gen.
Mahone, he thought Gen. Mahone 4
stood the best chance of being
-elected of any other Republican
in the' South. In response to a
question as to what would be the
policy of the new president toward
the South,-the gpneral said: r am
not authoritatively informed by the
president-elect as to that, but is my
judgement Mr. Halstead, on the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, a
few days since sounded the keynote 1
of the new administration when he
said it would be conservative.

It estimated that last year the
Ponth lost by forest fires nearly $7,
500,000. The total number of acres
burnned over, accordimg to the New
0 rleans Times Democrat, was more
than double the whole area of land
under cultivation in Louisiana1 or
considerably over 6,000,000 acres.
And what makes it worse, it seems
that the destruction of most of the
timber was due tb carelessness or
recklessness.
Baltimore hs- adopted an ingenious
scheme of putting letter boxes on
street cars. It will, at least, pre
dicts the New York News, add zest
to the life of conductors. A lady
gallo 4ng along a side street signal
ing to the conductor to stop; and'
coming aboard and dropping a let
ter in the box and getting off again,
is a scence calculated to make the
conductor's heart leap ,with joy.
It is not necdorJ to dislocate the
jaw in the Effort to pronounce the
name of the Anarchist Hronek, re
cently sentenced to twelve years' im
prisonment for engaging in a con
spiracy to assassinate Chicago offi
cials. It is pronounced as if spelled
Renueck.
