No CHANCE For PoRK.-Un-
less some means are devised to
keep the negroes from killing tho
hogs of our farmers, there will be
no meat in the country next fall.
1t is almost impossible to raise a
pig in this country. They are
stolen and killed before they are
weaned. The freedmen nearly all
have guns, and being too lazy to
earn an honest living, they de-
pend On hunting and stealing.
Our advice to the planter is to
keep his shot gun well loaded,
and keepa lookout for hog thieves.
ArTesting and sending them to
jail does but little good-many
of them would much rather board
there than to undertake to earn
their board by the sweat of their
brow. We hope the next legisla
ture will tax guns and dogs about
twenty dollars each.-lBrandon

q The Ouchita Telegraph
says that one year from now,
should the carpet baggers and
their misguided allies succeed in
this State, men will be reproach-
ing themselves all over the coun-
try, with not having exerted them
selves more to prevent it. Re
proaches then will be in vain.
Now is the time to work to pre-
vent the consumation of radical
plotters in this State. One day
devoted to the cause now will be
of more effect than months of
weeping, when ruin and anarchy
shall have been consumated.

ADVICE TO Young MEN.-The
New York Commercial isadviSing
young men in the country out of
employment, to keep away from
the cities. Says the editor:
''It is the fashion nowadays
for our young men to turn their
backs upon the farm, and accept
of precarious clerkships with poor
compensations. Our large cities
are therefore crowded with indi-
viduals who are living upon half
pay, leading a dependent life.
and struggling with existence,
who might be independent, con-
tented and happy in the country.
How many hundreds of young
men were thrown out of employ
ment on Wednesday, because OF
the financial stagnation, who had
they never left the farm, would
to-day have been independent
landholders, engaging employees
of their own.n

Curiosity and Gossiping.

Byron called curiosity a Glow
vice." and so in fact is that kind of
curiosity which leads one to spend
his time in prying into matters
which do not concern him, and
from q knowledge of which be can
neither derive any benefit himself
nor confer any upon his fellows.
But if curiosity be a Glow vice.
what shall be said of gossiping,
tattling, news-retailing7 The GU
riosity indulger is a self-poisoner !;
the gossip, tattler, news-retailer
is poisoner Of others. The for
mer is a fool, the other is a villain;
the former should be pitied, the
latter should be branded.
Vices are the peculiar property
of the idle and indolent, no mat
ter what may be their sex. It is
a rare thing for a woman to smoke,
chew, drink or swear. Idle wo-
men who are guilty Of these coarse
practices, are not usually gossips,
and the same thing is true Of idle
and lazy men. Drinking and
swearing are the vices easily fall
len into by idle men-masculine
vices; while gossiping, tattling,
news-retailing are the vices Tor
something worse, perhaps) easily
fallen into by Idle women-femi-
nine vices.
The sexes have seperate do
mains, aud one sex cannot with
impunity intrude upon the do
main Of the other. In common
opinion, a drunken man is only a
good-natured, honest fool; but a
drunken woman is dirty, dis
honest, horrible beast. A gossip
ing, tattling, news-retailing wo-
man is only a silly creature whom
no one minds; but a gossiping,
tattling, news-retailing man is a
disgrace to his sex-something
whose gender ought to be disguis-
ed, a something that should, at
least, dress in Bloomer costume,
and make no pretentions what
ever to being a man.

BELLEVUE LA, SATURDAY. APRIL f. 1868,

The NOBILITY AND PURITY
OF THE PREss.-The newspaper
that is printed to be sent broad
cast upon society, should be
marked by its elevation of tone,
it's manly courage in the advoca-
cy Of just sentiments, its devotion
to truth, and its purity. Obscen-
ity, profanity, and falseh BOD, just
ly imure the social character and
moral standing of any man; but
how much more are they to be de-
precated, when deliberately en-
ployed in the columns of a news
paper destined to enter the family
circle, and to great extent mould
the character of the rising gener-
alton. How often are our sensi-
biiities shock by seeing the name
and attributes Of the Deity men
toned or alluded to improperly !;
Of noticing jests or witicisms, that
derive their meritricious merit
from their vulgarity. Every par
agraph that is thus published has
to be written or selected and to
be again revised before it appears.
This furnishes ample opportunity
for reflection and careful analyza-
ton. There is no excuse, there
fore, for their publication, and
the editor who is so far unmind-
full OF the responsibility of his po-
sition as to be guilty Of such acts
of impropriety ought to be adj
monished by his patrons.-[Texas
Republican.
