~ The Thibodeaux Minerva


~ The Thibodeaux Minerva
says that a distinguished member y
tho Terrebonne Bar, freely expresses
it, as his opinion, that education is
the curse of civilization. The Mineruo
says ..
"No one possessed of American feel
inps in his bosom or imbued with
American principles in his heart,
could ever seriously utter such SEN
timent as this"
Yet, the practice of ono half of the
world, has ever been, to keep the
other half, in ignorance because ig-
norance is the only secure chain, for
servitude. Eplighten the mind--or
rather permit it, to have free scope,
to contemplate the wonderous works
Of creation, aud it assimulates itself to
the Great Spirit Of light, life, and lib
erty, and would rather suffer Martyr
dom at the stake, than bow down in
spiritual servitude to such weak
knocked kneed creature as man.
That education is the curse of civil
cation may sound very well on the
other side Of Jordan but in this
the New World, there is a new light
which is the light Of liberty; and it
is fed and kept up by the generations
comingafter us. 1t is the pleasant
duty Of every true adopted, as well as
native citizen of this republic, to see
that under the specious pretext of
Education" the youthful mind is not
biased to receive Impressions counter
to the spirit Of the age, which is with
us, and in advance of it-leading the
whole human family, onward and up
ward to more light.

Have CuAn1rx.-- moi only That

Have CHARITY. -~Not only that
kind which sends the hand involun-
tarly to the bottom of ones brooches
pockets, when d tale of sorrow and
distress is related but also that kind,
which will allow your friend to occu-
py a different position in reference to
the last abstraction, without chasing
him as an enemy, if not fool. Ii is
not reasonable to expect men, even
those who have grown up from child
hood together, and received instruc-
ton from the same birch rod in the
hand of the same school master, to
think the same; feel the same; act
the same. One will launch at his
life in one direction and the other an
opposite course. Should they quarrel
when they meet at the cross roads, and
fight, because one concludes from the
bias of his mind that man S soul goes
into the body of Il monkey or mule,
after death and the other concludes
that it takes an aerial flight to some
dreampt of paradise located in the
moon? OF course not, for both may
be wrong; and yet, both may have
faith enough to remove mountains
and both may get to heaven, without
knowing the why and the wherefore
This is no cause for quarrel, and yet
untold millions have been sent to dusty
death upon this question. 1t is I'M
reasonable to expect man to believe
what he cannot comprehend, and
when we are told that treason is fall
lacious and must lead us astray," it
amounts to blasphemy on the Most
High God, who has made bi-ped of
man and given him this endowment
as his heritage to govern inferior crea-
ton.
Have charity and this will CON-
mand honor and respect.
"Honor like shame from no condition rise,
Act we'll your part, here all the honor lies. -"
Suppose for a moment that your
friend who differs in opinion with you,
may be as sincere and honest as your
self; and remember, that should you
both put your heads together, and
work century, you could not fathom
how it is; that simple egg, under
the influence of heat alone, brings
forth a living soul, q breathing chick.

EThe sapctum of the editor Of
the Cairo Delta, was last week bur-
glariously entered. The Delta says:
Some miserable wretch--he must
have been demented-bursted incon-
tinently into our sanctum last Monday
night, probably in the hope of alb
stracting sumthin'. He found few
numbers of the Delta, an old hat, some
gum arabic, a pair Of old boots, can
dlestick, pair Of shutters, booa
jack, a desk containing few loca(
editorials, and pair of rusty scissors.
He was SO disguised with his excur-
sion, that he left a note on the desk,
.yorded as follows 'Dam such poor
white people as editors are.'

Crossing the atlantic in Three Days.
A working engineer by the name of
John Ross, residing in Montreal, has
addressed letter to the Mayor of Bos-
ton upon the subject of q recent inven-
ton of an extraordinary character
He claims to have discovered a new
motive power which he will watt a
ship across the Atlantic Ocean in
three days. And, further, if hole
were bored in the bottom, the vessel
would float with equal safety and free
dom. In order to complete a working
model, which is wholly Independent OF
steam, he asks the assistance of 81, 500
from some gentleman's pocket. No
progress, says Mr.. Ross, has been made
in that direction, (the sea, to keep
pace with the movement over railroads
on the land, but this desideratum will
certainly be accomplished and demon
strrted in his great discovery.

as lis evidenced in the fact, that Mr..
johnson, confined in the Parish jail
cut the iron grating sufficient to let
out smaller man than himself-a
Mr.. Offut who succeeded in getting
away; but Mr.. johnson got half way
and could neither move backward or
forward, SO he had to hang in this un-
pleasant fix until Saturday morning,
when more experienced workmen with
better tools, relieved him. Offut was
in, under sentence Of twelve months
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary, for

we know nothing more Of, than you do.
We were neither of us there and your
information of the affair, comes through
one party,an our information through
another either one Of whom may lie
malioiously, and we doubt not that both
do This is no reason why we should
quarrel with such friend as we know
"R" is-a gentleman to whom we will
award as much honor and veracity-
as we take to ourself the credit of hav-
ing; which 1--WE labor under the singu-
larIdelusion) is enough to come up to the
low water mark of common humanity.
We promise RI, not to say any
thing more, about my Lord Gaitana'
unless we can find somebody to testify
on oath, to what we say, which makes
a fact a fixed fact, in any christian
community. Never have we yet, made
mention Of the name of my Lord
Gaitana,' without running against our
friend "R," and now we are going to
quit iG for if we hare to fall out with
him, %, would like the quarrel to grow
out of something else, than the action
of "My Lord" at Bologna. Friend
"R" should not forget that we have an
article from him on the subject Of
religion, which would have been pub
lished in the magnolia" had that very
popular magazine been continued
Would "R" like to see some snatches
from it, in the Comet? IF so, we will

says The land sharks or emigrant
runners are highly incensed because
the Commissions Of Emigration have
leased Castle Garden, and are doing
all they possibly can to thhow obstacles
in the way Of the successful execution
Of their plans. The indignation meet

failure, as far as the numbers present
and the influence which it was calcu-

the uselessness of their efforts to de-

GEORGE Eusrrs, in, EsoB.-The
American party in New Orleans has
nominated this gentleman as a candi-
date for Congress from the First Dis
trict. His name is banded about as a
renegade Democrat; and some of the
) anti papers 60 80 far as to call him a
traitor. Why? Because Mr.. Eustis
has ever been a staunch Democrat
an eloquent defender Of the only true
political faith of this nation and now
forsooth, because he can see the dan
gers ahead, to which the mariners on
the top mast of the ship Of state call
attention, now forsooth he must be
called a renegade and traitor. ,"
Mr.. Eustis made speech at Thibo-
,deax the other day, and if he is as
honest now as he was six months ago
land no one dare deny that he is), he
breathes the true spirit Of American
ism and is as good a Democrat now
ms he ever was, if we know anything

word
