Is merely nominal, as Mr.. Conway, late Gen

partmcnt Of the Gulf remains assistant
Commissioner for the State of Louisi-
ana. His report includes the four
home colonies for indigcnt sick and
unemployed freedmen under his i'm

from his assistants Mt other points,
These four colonIes-one at Baton Rouge.
one ut st. Charles, one ut Lafourche, md one
at Jeferson-contain in all 9, $50 acres, upon
which !, 1,9o2 freedmen hnye produced erops of
various values. The returns from three ofthe
colonies arc not given, but for the fourth, In
which The least number Of acres were planted,
the crop is returned at s115,0 ,0oo- All the col
onies are selEsupporting.
This speaks well for colonies formed Of tho
least capable class, made up largely Of the
sick, disabled and iufru,, as It WAS the custom
of the Superintendent to return from these
colonies all who were fully able and willing to
work, 60 that they might find employment at
wages elsewhere
The police and city authorities Of New Or

DID any one of the thousands who find
fault with the newspaper for this or that
reason, ever consider what an endless variety
OF tastes had to be consulted in its making
up One wants the paper filled with Eastern
and mining news. Another would not have
anything at all but local items, and articles
upon home affairs. One would have it con-
stantly blowing about its particular locality,
and never mention favorable circumstance
of any other town. The California and Ne
yada papers fill that bill exactly. Every item
and every article in paper cannot be ex-
pected to be interesting to every reader. The
reason is plain enough. One expects one
kind of news, and another another kind
Eastern and foreign news, which is most de-
sired by residents in our own community
would never be read in our paper at any dis
lance east, because that kind of information
would be first obtained from other sources,
while every line of q local character increases
in interest the further it travels from home,
and so the thousands that read a paper are
possessed of almost as many wants Remem-
boring this, tits not surprising that every one
should at one time or another throw up the
paper in disgust, because there is nothing
in it. ~ Denver News.

DIToH owners are clearing the bitches, but the

many on account of the extraordinary price OF

large gathering of the disahected, on Main street
Ia crowd which was materially enlarged by many
disinerested spectators, to witness the threatened
demonstration. Flour had already fallen to $40
per hundred, removing much OF the dissatisfac-

On PETTIcoATs. -Elihu Burritt has been
making calculations about women petticoats
queer business for the learned blacksgqitg
and says more than 10000 tons of steel &.
put in crinoline in Christendom annually
Upon this the Boston Traveller remarks
q Suchis the magnitude of crinoline, consid-
cred from a business point Of view, and no
wonder that the article takes up so much
room in the world. Twenty million pounds
iron worked up yearly into petticoats and car
ried about by the delicate creatures Unjust
be a far greater hesG en- than their sins. But
get they along Wvsi with it, and thrive under
its weight. Iron, according to Scion, is the
most potent Of all things, CO.'S nering even
COLDS owners and ladies find il q very useful
article in making their conquests, Just now
it rules court, grove and camp and is potential
everywhere, from castle to cottage. In every
sense this is the age of iron, even women
acknowledge the rule of metals, rule that
literally encircles them. Those who would
abolish the hoop must see that they have
great interests to contend against, and that
all good conservatives are bound to oppose
them.'

FREDERICK SPEED, A. A. G.
BY order Of


Is DAVIS TO BE Tried IN WAsHINGroN?-The
Washington correspondent Of the Boston TRAY
eer answers this question thus:
1t is nearly or quite settled that jeff Davis
shall be tried in a civil court; and in this city.
There are many distinguished persons who IA
vor a military trial for him. but large majority
of intelligent people all over the country prefer
civil trial for treason, and the attorney general
saws that the distinguished prisoner shall be tried
before Judge Carter in this city. Il is feared
bv many persons that some one Of a jury taken
in Washington will be sure to be rebel sympa
thiser, but ! think this is a mistake. The trial
will be one Of the most interesting ever held in
this country The facts nobody will attempt to
gainsay, but powerful arguments will be made on
technical points to try and save the leader of
the rebellion. Several eminent lawyers at the
north are already on the tiptoe, expecting sum-
mons from Davis or the government. 1t is be-
Teved that the trial viii speedily take place, in
June certainly.
