The demand for laborers to 90 to the
country is not as great just now as usually
at this season of the year. The recent
rains have intefered with the approaching
crop in so far as the cotton picking has
been retarded. The supply of white la
borers, as recorded at the Office of the
German Society, on St. Peter street, and
other labor agencies, fully meets the
present demand.-N. o. Picayune.

What the Wisconsin Paper

Our reporters in their notice Of the mar
riage Of Morgan the Republican Senator
with the colored woman, stated that he
was formerly a Colonel of a Michigan
Regiment in addition 10 his political hon
ors as a leader Of the Republican party
in the Legislature. The Argus, publish
ed at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, corrects
the statement as to his military honors,
and makes some reflections on hi- present
course which we have copied below. II

Balloons in War.

THE plan of employing balloons in war
fare was practiced by the French in 1874.
After the expulsion of the Austrians from
Liege by General Jordan, they retired to
strong situation at some distance where
they threw up intrenchments, intending to
wait for achievements. Before, however,
these could arrive, they were attacked by
the French on the 18th Of September of
that year, and forced to retire after great
slaughter on both sides. The success of
the French was attributed in great measure
to the discovery Of the position and move
ments of the Austrians made by two
engineers whom the French sent up in an
air balloon. From this balloon the engi-
neers perceived whateverwas being done in
the Austrian camp; and gave continual no.
tice of all they saw by notes which they
threw down among their own people. by
these means the number of troops in the
camp, the quantity Of their artillery, their
motions and probable designs, were made
known to the French, who directed their
attacks accordingly against the weakest
parts, assaulting these with the largest
bodies of their troops, and with greater
confidence from the probability Of success.
The French armies had indeed on previous
occasions made use of balloons; at the
battle of Fleurus, during the siege Of
Mayence, and during that Of the fortress of
Ehrenbreitstein, on which occasion bal
looms were found OF great utility. The
annual Register" of 1904 says:
1.-THE French armies are attended with a
new species of accommodating engineers,
whose business it is to do every thing rel
alive to the preparation and use of bal
looms. The person who mounts in the
balloon is furnished with paper and pencils
of different colors. The markst to be made
are agreed on beforehand, and the paper,
after being marked, is attached to small
rod like an arrow, one end Of which is
loaded and pointed, SO that it strikes in the
ground and stands upright. A small piece
of colorcd silk is attached to the other end
like flag, to render it more visible. This
is dropped from the balloon on ground
that is in possession of the army to which
the balloon belongs, and thus the informa-
ton obtained is fully communicated. -

those of the last 10 months of the late

amount of $49,672, 061 90; and taking the

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
In addition to the swamp and overlooked
lands granted to the States in which they
are situated, the lands taken under the Ag-
ricultural College acts and for internal i'm
provement purposes, under the act of Sep
tember, 1641, and the acts supplemental
thereto, there had been conveyed, up to
the close of the last fiscal year, by patent
or other equivalent evidence of title, to
States and corporations, 81, 1886, 257 1900
acres, for railways canals, and wagon
roads; and it ia estimated that an addi-
tional quantity Of TIA, 735, 523 acres is still
due under grants for like uses.
The policy Of thus aiding the States in
building works of internal improvement
was inaugurated more than forty years
since in the grants to Indiana and Illinois
to aid those States in opening canals tOcon-
meet the waters of the Wabash with those
of Lake Erie and the waters OF Illinois
with those Of Lake Michigan. 1t was fol
lowed, with some notifications, in the
grant to Illinois Of alternate sections Of
public land within certain limits, to aid
in the construction of the Illinois Central
Railway. Fourteen States and sundry
corporations have received similar sub
sides in connection with railways com.
plcted or in process of construction. Az
the reserved sections are rated at double
the minimum price, the sale Of them al

Total value OF seizures. ........... 1895,

On the subject of seizure and disposition
of property for violation of the revenue
laws, Mr.. Delano suggests that the act OF
July 10, 1866, be so amended as to make
its provisions applicable to property forfeit
ed under any OF the internal revenue laws.
The limit in the value Of the property
seized should be extended from $500 to
$500, and the expenses of seizure and Gus
todv should be provided for as well IS
those of appraisement and sale.
The following is an estimate of the an
nual receipts in each State and Territory
from internal taxation after the act Of July
IA. 1870. shall be in full force:
