Of all the States of the Union Louisi ana, asserts the Nev York Olterter, is most dowered with the gifts of romance and associations. Its varying fortune! as a colony now of France and now of Bpain, its attraction to adventurers from the North, its picturesquenesa of scenery and popu alioi, its wealth of romance, Its iio'atioa during so many eventful years, and IU use as an instrument of diplomacy by tho politicians of four nations, rentier it? story one of the moat attractive ond ecitinjj in the list of the stories of the States. i - Tho Asso.hted Tea Planter! (Lim ited), cayi the London FUjaro, is an .undertaking with a cnpUnlof $2,10,000 in $5 share, whoia object is to establish markets in the United States of America and in Cannda for tho sale of tea grown on plantations in the ' Euit Indies. It dees not appear that nnythiug in the nape of piucKasc money is to bo paid, but intending Investors will require to know the nature of the agreement which has been entered into with Mr. IV Macgregor, "aentlemin who La been extensively connected with the ten trade In New York." Tho time worn chcmo of raising the sunken Jiritish sloop of war De Braaic, which is supposed to be at the bottom of Dclawtro JJay, oil Lewes, Del., with vast stores of treasure, his been sgain revived. This time it Is the Ocean Wrecking Company (Limited) that is to conduct tho enterprise, this company having been chartered but a short time ago. The company consists of nearly the samo men who so signally failed in the attempt to find tho De Braak last fall. Tho capital of the company has been 8ed at $10,000, to bo divided into GOO shares r.t $100 cali. Bifhop Whittaker, of Philadelphia, who has put returned from a visit to Cuba, declares that tho Cubans would be very glad to enter tho Union. H says: "Tho sugar interests are depressed with the prospect of the increased growth oC the suar beet in the United States. Indeed the mercantile and agri cultural communities generally exhibited a gloomy aspect. Tho trade with tha United btates is immense, while at Ma tanza noless thau twenty-three vessels were loading with sugar and molasses bound for the United States, and gentle men from Philadelphia and New York wcro to be seen in both cities, especially in Havana, eagerly grasping for the growing trado. The resources of Cuba are great and capable of very much larger developmout, the soil being unusually productive." Bennett's American paper in London, the Ilerall, will startle the old fogy Englishmen, predicts the Atlanta COn tt Hut ion. Tho average English editorial with its padded verbosity suggests Sydney Smith's burlesque on Mackin tosh. Smith said : 'If Mackintosh had to write about popper ho would say: Fepper may philosophically be de scribed as a dusty and highly pulverized teed of an Oriental fruit; an article rather of condiment than of diet, which, dispersed lightly over the surface of food, with no other rule than the caprice oi the consumer, communicates pleasure, rather than affords nutrition, and, by adding a tropical flavor to the gro33 and succulent viands of the north, approxi mates the different regions of the heart, explains tho objects of commerce and justifies the industry of man." ' '. The largest live-stock market in the world is in Chicago the Union Stock yards. These yards, primarily the crea tion of the centering of the great "West em railroads at Chicago, were estab lished in IS53. Their growth has kept paco with tho rapid development of the trade, until to.day they havo a capacity for 20,000 cattle, 130,000 hogs, 10,000 sheep, and 1300 horses. The busy colony of packing houses is located in this quarter of the city, together with a large number of commission firms, the whole forming one of the wonders of Chicago. Tho facilities for unloading, feeding and reshipplng, or killing and redress ing tho stock, are novel, and are appar ently unlimited. Each shipper or owner has a separate yard or pen for the safe-keeping, feeding, watering and gen eral care of his stock; and over all the yards extend lines of elevated roadways, permitting tho transfer of the animals to the packing houses without disturb ance of the surface ways. Mounted in spectors make regular rounds, ordering out the sick cattle. The killing for the "packing'towu" is done with neatness as well as dispatch, and the product is towed away in refrigerator cars with auch celerity and in such quantities as cannot fail to impress ths beholder with tho formidability of the Chicago dressed meat industry, against which cattlemen in Pennsylvania, Michigan and several other States aro now endeavoring t combine, to strike a Its illative blow.

The canteen is a sort of soldi er's clnb, a piace wnere ha can go for amusement, and where he can find a book or game to entertain him, or a luncheon to re fresh him. It has been established in the English army for a number of years, and has worked successfully, and foi four or five years- there have been can- teens at a number of posts in our own country. They are no longer i n experi ment, but they have hitherto been run very carelessly and without any definite system, and the recent order was framed to give them a better official basis. The canteen ought to take the place of the post-trader's store, which is 4 nuisance at any post. The post-trader is not sup posed to sell any alcoholic drinks, but it is undoubtedly true that great bnantities of such are sold daily under the name oi fvine or beer, which are alldwed.

News was received of the suJJc-n death, at his home near Pittshorn nf William E. Bendinot, whose name is a familiar one to the officers of the old navy in which he served twenty-three years. He was a graduate of the naval academy, having been appointed by Thomas II Benton. He was at the bom bardment of era Cruz and was an officer in the navy on board the Ohio in Com modore Perry's expedition to Japan. Just before the civil war he became a large rice planter near Wilmington, N. C. ne was in the confederate army for a few months. He had lived a very re tired life near Pittsboro for many years. His age was seventy-five, and his death, which was very sudden, was due to heart maenad, xae was a very accomplished man, and it is a matter of record that he was the first person to suggest the signal service. Hid services in this regard were acknowledged by the New York city board of trade. By all odds the. hottest fight during the recent session of the legislature was over the bill to create a railroad com mission, and the result is the matter will get into politics as one of the leading issues. Senator Kerr said, in one of his speeches, that S B Alexander, of Char lotte, who is the head of the State Farm ers' Alliance, was opposed to the creation of a commission. Alexander will pub lish a denial of this. He says the exs tract which was, taken by Kerr from his address, delivered before the State Alli ance, was garbled, Alexander savs his position in regard to the transportation problem is that the solution of the ques tion was for the general government to own every foot ofrailroad in the United States. The Farmers' Alliance organ says: ''The people- will yet be heard. There are meu among them on whom they can rely, and hereafter they will find them." This means a regular fight between the alliance and the railways, and a desperate conflict it will be. , SOUTH CAROLINA. A lame ooera house ia tn Vn lmtW Florence.

The trouble aroie oat of the stoning of the Sikh policemen of the British quarter by a crowd of boys and young men. It occurred on a Chinese holiday, when business was practically suspended in the town and when the streets were thronged with idlers.
