nsg~ The election Of Tuesday last
proved to be, as we predicted, an I'M
mcnse triumph Of the old Democracy OF
Pointe Coupee, and of the fearless sup
porters of Southern rights. The obstl.
nate, the timid and the cranky voted
against us: yet, Notwithstanding indie
fati-able efforts on the part of the few
leaders of the opposition parties, we
have carried the parish by the largest
majority thas ever given-four hundred
and thirty-thrce.
This result shows satisfactorily, that
our population is fully aware of the
rapid spread of rabid and militant Abo-
Iitionism at the North; for most certain
". until within the last twelve months,
a people more consistently true to tie
Union, or prouder Of its fame and Its
mower. was not to be found from Name
to Texas, than the inhabitants OF Polhte
Coupce.
While writing the above, we received
the papers Of Thursday evening, from
New Orleans. They %oun the un-
welcome intelligence, that Lincoln is,
beyond doubt, elected. What course
Louisiana has to take in this emergency,
we do not presume to Indicate or fore
shadow. We have fallen on tempestn'
Gus, if not evil, times. Let US at least
be one and united, calm and deliberate.
The true friends of the South are in an
overwhelming majority in Louisiana.
It is for them to determine, in conven'
ton assembled, on the line Of policyth thai
our State has to pursue

The News!

Newspaper readers may think it is an easy
matter to make an interesting paper, but if they
only knew how scarce the article called news
was, they would perhaps have more compassion
for the short comings of the editors. We have
scanned our exchanges closely, and failed TO
find one single startling incident No steamboats,
have exploded, no stages have upset, the Balti
more Convention has not been heard from, the
Heenan and Sayers fight has lost all its novelty
or interest, and there is perfect blank in the
news market 1t cannot be helped however
Remorseless readers think not of these things
and hold US, poor editors, responsible, should
our paper fail to contain interesting news mat
ter. What can we give you gentle reader
for this week? Why doL't some swain marry
some one of our many interesting ladies? And
why don't they send US some cake and wine to
make glad the inner man, and inspire us with
pleasant thoughts?
Or why don't some of our neighbo-s who have
fields of nice rich ripe strawberries send us a
few gallons, with cream accompanying, so that
we may return our thanks in neat little edi-
torial?
We can do up such things, and if any one
don't believe us, just let him try " whacl, 3"
and see if we don't fix up article seeu1aam
artem We will not over praise, but if any one
wishes to have full measure given TO the
beauties of his garden, or the flavor of its pro-
ducts q he can not do better than to give US a
call
Whilst writing the above, and before the ink
had dried upon our paper, who should enter our
sanctum, but messenger from the garden of
our enterprsing friend A. l.. Downer, with 4
basket of choice apricots-which looked as
sweet and luscious as the blush upon the cheek
of beauty, and mode US reflect upon ourselves
for having, even for a moment, supposed that
we were forgotten by our friends and neighbors.
Thanks, neiglibor, for your thoughtfulness, and
when we hear a friend enquire where good fruits
can be obtained either to eat, or raise we will
refer them to a. L. Downer, Esq, efiShasta.
And still they come Strawberries erich and
lipe7 have been received from the ranch of Mr..
Wheelocb, of the Bald Hills country. for which
we offer our sincere acknowledgements, not
that we really need them fer themselves, but
they make US feel that we are not forgotten by
our friends.

ANOTHER DEAD SEA.

A writer in the Union (Cal.) Democrat
gives a very interesting description of Mo
no Lake, which has recently engrossed pub
lie attention, from the fact of the discovery
of deposits of gold in the neighbOrhoOd-
He says:
Mono Lake is more literally dead sea
than the sea of Seldom. According to DR..
Clarke, that ''sea swarms with fishes, and
shells abound on its shores" Mono Lake
has neither. The extreme length and
breadth of the Dead Sea, according to Me-
riti. are 75 by l6 miles, giving a superb
cial area of 600 square miles. Whereas,
Mono Lake contains 675 square miles
The river Jordan and Arnon, and the brook
Kedron, besides many rivulets. empty into
the Dead Sea. Into Mono Lake, McLane's s
river falls from the north, and Crosby's II
yer from the south, and three large brooks
or creeks fall into it from the west, besides
numerous rivulets and springs all around
its borders. But this lake not only res
ponds to the Greek epithet "monOs" as be-
ing "alone. solitary, deserted, forsaken,"
but also answers to the same adjective as
explained in the Spanish as being pretty,
nice. neat"
The lake takes as many shapes as the
points differ from which youview it. From
the west side, about ten miles from its nor
thern limit, it appears like beautiful eres-
ent, its horns curving delieately around
you on the right and left From the north
it appears to be nearly circular, like the
full moon, the islands in its waters stri-
kingly representing the clouded spots on
that planet. From the east it appears to
have no particular shape, but it stretches
off irregularly among the mountains
There is little or no echo around this
lake. and indeed it is difficult to under
stand a person talking at a little distance.
4 dreamy, spell-liks spirit seems to per-
vade the atmosphere. The smooth. CLASSY
surface of the waters; the upheayed, dis
rupted, volcanic mountains surrounding the !
axe, looking down, as it were. into this
abyss of their election; the illusion of Wis
on. and the whitened shores. thickly col
lmned in many places with vascular lava,
which looks like mountains erected to the
mighty dead" all cOnspire to impress the
mind with the idea of fictitious scene,
by the pencil Of an OanipOtent
and

THE LONDON TIMES OFFICE.

A correspondent. writing from London
says that one of the most interesting and
novel departments of the Times establish
mont is that in which the stereOtyping pro-
cess is carried on. Every number of this
paper is printed from stereotype plates, thus
saving greater part of the wear and tear
of the type. The stereotype plate is taken
from the form" in three minutes, by new
process, invented by Swiss. and known
only to him. y tkin layer of soft and
damp papier mache first receives the i'm
preston of the type, and after it has been
hardened by the application of heat, the
melted lead is poured on which is to form
the stereotype plate. The papier maehe
has the power of resisting the action of the
melted lead, and comes out of the fiery trial
uninjured, anil almost unscorehed- The
plates are remelted every day after the issue
of the day is printed from them, and the
waste of type metal, from day to day. is
very slight. By the power of multiplying
the number Of forms from which the same
side of the paper can be printed, the Times
can use three or four presses at once. and
thus print its $4,000 copies, on an emer-
gency, in two hours. The Times employs
in its establishment some $50 persons. 1t
has eighteen reporters at the Houses Of
Parliament, and for these. as we'll as ma
jOrity of its eompositors, the working hours
are in the night exclusively. 1t owns four
cabs, which are employed solely in carrying
and reports at night to and fro
between Printing House Square and the
Palace at Westminster. The reporters re-
leve each other at the House every quarter
hour, and thus. through the debate in the
Commons last till o'clock in the morning,
the Times gives it in full by sunrise, though
it covers two whole pages of the paper.

DAVID LIVINGSTONE.

BoYs, HELP YOUR MoTnRRs.-We have
seen from two to six great hearty boys sit
ting by the kitchen stove, toasting their
feet, and cracking nuts or jokes, while their
mother. a slender woman, has gone to the
wOOd-pile for wood, to the we'll for water.
or to the meat house to cut frozen steak
for dinner. This is not as it should be.
There is much work about house too hard
for women. Heavy lifting. hard. extra steps
which should be done by those more able
Boys, don't let your mother do all, especially
if she is feeble woman.
Dull. prosy house work is tiresome enough
at best. 1t is long work. too. it being
impossible to tell when it is quite done. and
then on the morrow the whole is to be gone
over with again. There is more of it than
one is apt to think.
