Rice Culture in Louisiana.
From the New Orleans Picayune we
glean some interesting facts as to the
rise of rice culture, to take the place of
the retrograding sugar culture. It seems
that the sugar region of Louisiana has
fallen off in its production from nearly
500.000. 000 pounds of sugar, and 30,000,-
000 gallons of molasses, made in 1861, to
a crop which last year only a little exceed
ed 100,000,000 pounds of sugar and
6.000. 000 gallons of molasses.
Thus a lapse of twelve years between
the two crops finds the great staple of
the delta cut down to about one-fifth of
of its former extent.
After much of the sugar area had been
abandoned, to a large extent cotton was
tried as a superceding crop. Cotton in
these lands, when uninjured, produces
greater yields than the average of the
proper cotton belt, but it was much more
subject to casualties. Taking a series of
years the average was less than that in
the cotton region.
Compared with the profit of cotton
cultivation, that of rice gained largely
in public estimation. In former years
nearly all the rice made in Louisiana was
grown in the lower part of the parish of
Plaquemines. From 1850 to 1860, th6
annual crop averaged less than 10,000
barrels of clean rice, or 20,000 barrels of
rough. In the agricultural report of 1860,
the crop of that State was 7,000 barrels,
and that of 1861,9,000 barrels of clean rice.
But for four years succeeding 1868, this
crop has suddenly reached an annual
average of between 50,000 and 60,000
barrels of cleaned rice, and the crop of
1873, not yet accurately reported, is
estimated, with pretty good bases for
estimates, by the rice merchants of New
Orleans at an amount of 90,000 or 95,-
000 barrels of clean rice.
One man can cultivate properly twelve
acres of rice, preparing the land, plant
ing, cultivating and harvesting in seven
months. At a figure lower than the aver
age yield, 12| barrels to the acre, this
will be a product of 150 barrels of rough
or 75 of cleaned, which at 220 pounds to
the barrel, and 8 cents per pound, would
amount in money to a gross product of
SI,220 for seven months labor.
On the authority of the most experien
ced sugar planters, one man cen cultivate
properly only seven acres of cane. At
the large average of 1,300 pounds sugar
and 60 gallons molasses to the acre,
with sugar at 8 cents and molasses at 60
cents, the gross amount of this work will
lie $980 for twelve months labor.
Compare the milling and manufactur
ing expenses of the two products, and
the odds are still greater in favor of
rice.
A comparison between this and the
work, with the results of cotton, com and
wheat, is still more favorable for rice.
Not only do these figures work them
selves out on paper, but the truth has
been practically solved year after year
since the war.—Mobile Reyister.

Panama, Sept 26,1874.—A bill has been
introduced in the Assembly authorizing
cessions of the Darien region in the na
tional government It passed its first
reading and was referred to a committee,
but it is likely to meet with strong oppo
sition when it is again brought up.
The United States flagship Richmond
is here.
A correspondent of the Star and Her
ald, writing from Autiqua, Gautemala,
under date of September 4, reports that
an earthquake took place there the even
ing before, at 8:30 p. m. Without any
previous warning a strong earthquake
shook the ground violently in the direc
tion from west to east. The movement
was a series of strong vertical and hori
zontal impetus combined. The wave
like undulations on the surface rose and
fell at least a foot. This acting alone,
with the above mentioned vertical move
ment made it almost impossible to move
about without being thrown to the
ground. Added to this, there were pier
cing cries of the populace, creaking and
cracking of walls, and loud sounds, till
like thunder from the earth beneath, the
rattling noise of tiles, houses and walls
falling, which altogether formed a hideous
concert which can never be forgotten.
It wa3 very dark, too, and every visible
object was in violent motion. Long after
the first shock had passed, there was still
noise of a wall falling, more or less dis-?
tant. Suddenly there arose sounds of
hundreds of voices chanting hymns to the
Creator for mercy. Shocks followed
during the night of varying intensities,
every one of which gave rise to new
alarms and new implorings for mercy.
The night seemed an age in length. For
tunately no rain fell. About a dozen
houses that were inhabited have been
lestroyed, causing, as far as could be
learned, the loss of thirty-two lives. The
number of bouses damaged, and which
will have to be taken down, will lie found
considerable. In Guatamala, the capital,
shocks were felt but slight The indians
say that three villages at the foot of Val-
cona have been destroyed, though this
needs confirmation. All the squares and
open places contiguous are covered with
tents and other modes of protection.
The inhabitants were stricken with fear
at the approach of night, expecting
repetition of the earthquake at some hour.
Even carriages and carts serve as tempor
ally abodes.
An Atlanta Young Bffen loit ia a
Cava.
Chatanooga, Oct. 4, 1874.
To the Editor of the News :
Yesterday two young men, Willie Pal
mer and Joe Stillman, left here for a plea
sure trip to Lookout Mountain, with the
intention of exploring the cave. They
made a couple of torches of waste satura
ted with oil, and on arrival at the cave
lighted them and proceeded on their
journey into the bowels of the earth. All
went well until they had traveled about
half a mile, when their torches went out,
and to their great consternation found
they had no matches. They wandered
about in the darkness, not knowing which
way to go. Even by the dim light of
torch, the intricate labyrinths of this cave
are enough to puzzle any one ; but, with'
out a light, their situation was simply
one of horror.
After they groped about for some time,
they werejdiscovered by Mr. Moore, who
happened to be in the cave at the time,
and riscuid them from a horrible death
which certainly must have followed. They
were very grateful to Mr. Moore, altho’
he discovered them by the merest acci
dent Yours,
Chickasaw.
Zee la India.
What possible connection can there be
between lake Ontario and India? The
one lies between the United States and
Canada, where the winter cold seizes upon
the rolling waves, and binds them tight
and fast. The other, thousands of miles
away, burns and dries under a tropical
sun. But it is this very contrast that
brings them together. Lake Ontario
cools and refreshes the people living on
the East India coast. And this is the way
the good work is brought about.
Lake Ontario is so situated that in
winter it freezes over a great part of its
surface, forming ice several feet in thick.-*
ness, fine grained, compact, and of beauti
ful transparency. As soon as the ice is fair
ly formed, the ice companies set a small
army of men at work to take it away,
and they are kept busy all the season
Some are on the lake cutting out the ice
in huge cubic blocks; others stow them
away in the wagons which are to con
vey them to the ice-honses near the hike
where they are deposited temporarily;
some are at work in these houses, receiv
ing the ice and putting it in the build
ings; others, again, are taking out the ice
that has been waiting for transportation,
and loading with it the cars in which it is
to be conveyed to the different cities in
the United States. The scene is a live
ly and busy one, and this ice business
gives employment to a great number of
men.
The ice intended for India is sent to
Boston, and is there shipped as soon as
possible. A good many vessels are em
ployed in this service. The holds of
these ships must be. made very cold be
fore the ice can be packed into them with
safety, and this is done by letting down
blocks of ice, an 1 as soon as these melt,
the water is drawn off and others are put
in. The second blocks do not melt quite
so soon as the first^iid then others are
let down; and the-process is continued
until the temperature is so low that the
ice does not melt at all.
The hold is now ready to be filled for
the long voyage. A thick bed of sawdust
is laid on the bottom, and upon this blocks
of ice are carefully and closely placed,
forming a smooth, icy floor. ' This is
covered with a light layer of sawdust.
Upon this blocks of ice are packed as be
fore; then another layer of sawdust; an-
other stratum of ice-blocks; and so on,
until the hold is filled. This packing
has to be done quickly, or the ice would
soften somwhat while exposed to the air.
Great cranes moved by steam, lift tlio
enormous blocks of ice irom the cior^
house or wharf, swing them ovei' ( r~“ J
sel, and lower them into the hold, or " v **
the men stow them away. Steam Wo '* ■
rapidly, and the labor goes on day ajlc
night. AYTien the hold is filled, the hatch
es are fastened down and calked, and
precious freight is safely shut up iu t
cold and darkness, and the ship sta:
off as soon as possible on her long
age. These vessels are built for fast sail •
era; but, at the bert, it takes a very long
time to reach India. During part of tho
voyage the tropical sun pours its heat
upon the decks; but when the ship gains
her port, and the hatches are opened and
the work of unloading commences, the
blocks of ice taken out aro as perfect as
when they were put in!
The unloading once begun, it is carried
on without intermission until the hold
is emptied, the workmen relieving each
other; but it cannot be done quite as ra
pidly as the loading. Some of the sail
ors, dressed in their warmest winter
clothing, are down in the hold cutting
apart the blocks which have become fro
zen together, placing the ropes around
them, and fastening them to the cable
that passes over the pulley. Other sail
ors, and native East Indians, are on the
deck, where it is so hot that they are
glad to dress very lightly. They are pul
ling at the ropes, and in this way hauling
the ice out of the hold. Others are con
veying it to the depots on the shore,
where it is stored away in vast quantities.
Near these may be seen groups of natives
waiting to be served with ice, which is to
be carried to the hotels and other houses.’
Some of these natives have already been
served, and have started upon their jour<«
ney into the city, six or eight of them
bearing a framework of bamboo sticks
and cords, in which is suspended a mon
strous block of ice as beautiful and trans
parent as rock crystal.
And, after all the labor at Lake Ontar
io, after the transportation to Boston, tho
loading and unloading of the vessels, the
sums of money that must be paid to so
many workmen, and the voyage of sever
al thousand miles, ice can be brought in
the cities of India in ordinary seasons, at
three cents a pound!—St. Nicholas for
October.

The Body of a Man Seventy Years of
Age After Being Buried Two Years,
Turns to Stone.
On the 21st day of March, 1872, Ala-
son Dyer, aged seventy-one, an old resi
dent of Rutland, died of congestion of
the lungs. He was buried on the 24th
day of the same month, in the cemetery
on West street, commonly known as tho
old cemetery. On Wednesday, the 13th
day of the present month, says the Rut
land Herald, the remains were disinter
red for the purpose of removing them
and having them re-interred in Evergreen
cemetery. The removal of the coffin and
remains was entrusted to the management
of Horace Bateman. On the day abovo
named, Mr. Bateman, with five other men,
after having removed all the clay, pros
ceeded by the method usually employed
in such cases to raise the coffin. This
they at once found a great difficulty in
doing. Owing to the weight of the
coffin they found it almost impossible to
raise it even the slightest distance. Af.
ter getting ropes under each end they
were forced to the expedient of raising
one end at a time a few inches, and block
ing it up in that position by shovelling
clay underneath—Then they would taka
the other one in the same manner. They
worked in this way until they had it on
top of the ground. They found a diffis
culty in getting it up in this way even, as
it required the combined strength of four
men to raise one end.
After their exertions in getting the box
up it became a question among them as
to what could make the extreme weight,
and whether there might be a metalio
case inside. To set doubts at rest they
resolved on removing the cover of the
outside box. This they did and found
that the casket had fallen to pieces, ex
posing the perfect form of the deceased.
The color of the face was somewhat al-
tered, and one ear decayed away, but
aside from these changes the features
and form were perfectly preserved, even
to the whiskers, which looked as natur
al as life. The clothing also wasin a good
state of preservation. Mr. Dyer, in life,'
was a medium-sized man, weighing about
one hundred and forty-five pounds. The
man who owns the team that conveyed
the coffin to Evergreen gives it as his
opinion that it weighed nearly 1,200
pounds.—Troy (N. H.) Whig.
