THE GRAND JURY.

The Grand Jury impanneled for
the present term of the District
Court, was discharged by his Honor
Judge King on Wednesday evening
last. 1t was in session six days;
and, Judging from the amount OF
business transacted, it was emphati-
cally a working jury.
This is the only grand jury I'M
panneled since the war, we believe,
that has had the moral courage to
indict parties for carrying concealed
weapons. All honor to them for it.
The statute in regard to carrying
concealed weapons, had long been
considered a dead letter, but if we
are not mistaken, six shooters and
bowie knives will be below par in
our market, before the present petit
jury is discharged.
The road overseers throughout
the parish, were also handled with
out gloves; no less than sixteen of
them having been presented for
neglect of duty.
Other bills, the nature of which
we cannot make public, were found,
well calculated to make certain
classes of evil doors tremble. 1t
will not require more than two
such grand juries as the one just dis
charged, with the proper co-opera-
ton Of law-abiding citizens to assist
the officers, to make ST. Landry
once more a region Of country
where the law will be felt and res.
pected.

How We Get the War News.

The press dispatches from ] Europe to New
York, during the last four weeks, says the
Journal of the telegraph, numbered about
LOG, 900 words. New York has been better
posted on the issues Of the war each day
than London, Paris, or Berlin. These dis.
patches have almost wholly been sent by a
single cable. full one-third Of the whole to a
single daily paper, and with marvellous rapid
ity and accuracy. Familiar as we are with
the work of the telegraph, it has been a mar,
vel to us. To hundreds of thousands OF
minds the whole process is and has been a
deep enigma.
Here IS a man sitting in a darkened room
at Hearts Content. The ocean cable termi-
mates here.
A fine wire attached thereto is made to
surround two small cores of soft iron. As
the electric wave, produced by two pieces of
copper and zinc at Valentia, passes through
the wave, these cores become magnetic
enough to- move the slightest object.
A looking glass, half an inch in diameter,
is fixed on q bar of iron ore one-tenth of An
inch long. On this tiny glass a lamp is made
to glare SO that it's light is reflected on a tab
let on the wall. TIE language Of the cable
is denoted by tho shifting of this reflected
Iiyht from side to side. Letter by letter is
thus expressed in this fitting idiom in utter
silence on the wall. There is no record made
by the machine except as the patient watcher
calls out to a comrade the translated flames
as they come and which he records. 1t seems
a miracle Of patience. There is something of
awe creeps over us as we see the evidence of a
human touch three thousand miles away,
swaying the line Of light.
BY such delicate process as this, and after
being repeated from line to line five times he
fore its ultimate copy is in New York. have
the late great battles been recorded in our
daily papers with great particularly, aud sent
throughout the Union. Nothing like it has
ever before been accomplished. The enter
prise Of the New York press-of a single
press in New York-has eclipsed that of the
wealthiest and abiest presses in Europe.
