It hauls is a clear, Bunny, winter day, and the work vigorously at the last acre of cane, pane knives glitter in unit out of the rustling green tops, there is a swift gleam of bright steel along the stalks, a quick stroke near tho ground and the pliers lift the clean stalks in piles ready for the leaders to toaa in groat armfuls to the men waiting la tho carta Cape is heavy, and it requires a marvelous sleight of hand unii »ome inuboulnr power to send a bundle of caue flying into the grasp of another per,sou. Mingled with crackling of stalks and the rushing sound of falling cane tops, comes the even melody of the negroes as they chant Jubilee songs. There Is only a little cane left. The mea hold biuik. making adenpenitc appearance of haste; but not puttiiigc moro than they can help. Eacli man tries to deceive his neighbor, but iho overseer is looking on and the cane must be cut. Swish, crack -—the Inst stalk is aln.iost reached, and who will have the glory of cutting iti The meg are eager and excited; the over seer hurries them up; one after another the stalks fall—and, hurrah! the envied mart cuts tho lust, and waves jt triumph antly a-bove Us head.

First comes 'the leader’s cart, in which stands the man with the lust stalk held upright, *nd ono or two big flags wlueh tho ladies of tho planter’s household are solicited each year to manufacture! and much envied is the man to whom they are pre sented, for they are as attractive us yard? of tri-colorod flannel, ribbou9 and gilt, < 19 rices tan make them.

All the mfll whistles arc blowing, and the much-respected plantation bells are left in the power of tho people, to bo rung until tlio arms of thp ringers are worn out. The procession is gjected at the sugar house With great rejoicing, speeches are indulged In. and tho women and children stream from tho quarters and clamber into the iarta. There is a great shrieking of whistles, roaring mingled of with inncfiihcry, the sounds crushing of'song of canc and cheering, wh|te whisky toasts ago drunk in every variety of Imt the IhuA. Amid nil this «Vn inlnor nolaoa aro unheard. After Ieilying the sugar houso the troop of darkeys flies around tho inane ion of the planter, clToerlng the family, who are ex pw.torl to uuikp their appearance mid be looked at. Addresses arc made to the planter, who, there of course, has to return thanks; for if is anything dear to the soul of tho darkey it is speech rank lug, and flic father and brothers of tho planter, it he has any, come in for their lull shore of negro osatoKj, THKATim TIIK OKOWD. Money 1s given to tho loaders to treat the crowd, and tho planter 1ms to use every excuse in ills power to provont him self being hoisted upon tho sUcmldeus of the joyous negroes. This ceromony being over, oranges aro thrown into the carts, tlio loaders return to their Wagons, anil rn)t,lo around tho grounds iwo or three times, with boating of drums, squeaking of fifes, Then cheering and other demonstra tions. off they go to get their sec ond installment of whisky at “do sto’,” where Die plantation storekeepers receive their shore of attention. Tho procession goes to as many plantations ns possible, and In tho dusk, as (he fog comes rolling in from tho river, swooping across the empty Holds and winding in and out of tho border of the wood*, almost a tnilo away, one hears tho sound of a beautiful negro melody, We are waiting on do LorJ, rising nnil falling sweet and clear on tin uifiiit air. And then the parts como lum bering htuiw holding a half intoxicated, wholly happy crowd. There is a grand etippev thinks waiting for them, and nobody of the depredations committed l», forolmnd upon other men's goods in the way of lugs mid poultry. Moro liquor is drunk, more speeches made, and tho planter's entire fence is serenaded by the untirigg crowd riut.il u hue hour. Bcfvn;o the rising hell rings tho fog sweeps golden, in into eddying blue folds, white mid pale the oak woods, and dis closes tho quarters silent, for the very flogs are sleeping. Here and there gray Itudke curls up above the cabins; the bell quavers its summons. Thare is a long, waking howl from the dogs, and sdvarp calls ef negro women.

The painting of a hand on t he houses in Tunis. Algiers, etc., is not a Jewish cus tom, but is common to the natives of rheso and other countries. It is alwnvs an em blem of gvxt luck, mid is in Syria—also ia Naples—achartu against the evil eye. The n.onds rnsranged in form of a branch are merely an esthotif term of tho cliarra. The reason Jews put it on their walls at passover is because at that season of tho year their houses arc renovated inside and cut. Capt Cornier remarks that the hand was iu use as a charm bv'thc Phoenicians, aad occurs on votive steles at Carthage— the site of the modern Tunis—whence it doubtless spread to neighboring states.
