AGRICULTURAL FAIRs.-We
are satisfied that these annual
gatherings will do much to
stimulate agricultural industry
and encourage manufacturing
enterprise. These meetings of
the bone and sinew of the land
the producers of wealth
will give an intelligent activity
to farming operations, without
which the South will never be
prosperous. @
There is no better way to in
trOdnce improved and labor
saving machines, and make un-
iversal the use of natural and
manufactured fertilizers, than
by gaining at these fairs the ex-
perience of those who have
made practical and successful
use of both.

~ We have seen q letter from
the Rev. DR.. Lane, principal of
the Asylum for the Blind at
Baton Rouge, in which he ex-
presses the desire that the blind
children resident in Bossier
parish should be sent down by
the 9TH of October. Doubtless
they would be received at any
time, but the earlier sent the
better. Persons unable to edu-
cate their children, will have
the education of the blind at
this Asylum gratis. 1t will be
determined by the Board of
Administrators of the Asylum
who are SO unable. We pre-
sumo that certificates as to
amount ofproperty, &C., given
by our officers here would be
satisfactory. We have heard
of several INDECENT blind in the
parish, and hope that their
friends would see to it that
they are educated.
The blind are now in the Or
'phan Asylum and totally sepa-
rate from the deaf and dumb.
We are requested by Judge
Bakers family to announce
that no Parish Court will be
held next week. The Judge
has had quite a severe attack
of sickness, lasting now some
two weeks, and for several
days he was in imminenS dam
ger. The danger may be con-
sidered now past, but careful
nursing will be required for
some time, and a relapse will
have to be particularly guarded
against.
Next week is the regular
time for the probate term, but
the business requiring atten-
ton is not large.

From late news trQlli europe
there is a probability that Rus
STA will shortly attack Turkey.
If it does, the probabilities are
that the European portion of
Turkey, at least, will be attach
ed to the Muscovite empire, or
possibly erected into q depend
ent kingdom under rule of one
of the Russian princes as king.
Among these princes, for two
hundred years or thereabouts.
there has been one named Con-
stantine, with a view to keep
up a perpetual desire in the
nation to possess Constantine
pie, and make this prince ruler
there.
If Turkey was a real nation,
we would be sorry to see its in
dependence taken away by SO
despotic a government as Rus
STA. But European Turkey
consists of three or four differ
ent peoples, lorded it over by
the Turks, who have not a fifth
part of the population. These
Turks could not retain their
rule year, if there could be a
concert of action among their
subjects. These subjects are
Jews and Christians; the Chris
tians are Armenians, Bulga-
rians, Servians, ROumanians
and Albanians, all with strong
antipathies to each other. Now
what matters it whe ther they
change their rulers or not, so
far as their liberties are con-
cerned But in order that they
might he brought within the
pale of civilization it would be
better that they belonged to
Russia.
A large majority of the peo-
pie are of the Greek church,
the same as the Russians, and
therefore would not feel slave
ry under Russians as under
Turks. The term christian and
dog with q Turk are nearly
SYNONYMOUS. .i
A pretty good index of a civ
ilized people, one with life and
hope in its prospects, is the
building of railroads. If Tur-
key has one it is a very late
thing, and built by foreign en-
terprise and capital.
1t looks strange to see half a
dozen railroads in Austria run
ming just to the Turkish boun-
Diary and going no farther.
The Turks have some very
good qualities /; they are brave
and proud. Now if they were
stirred mp like the Spaniards
were by the French from 1903
to 1914, it might bring them
out of their lethargy. Asia
Minor is their true country, and
is large enough for q great ma
ton to grow up in. We would
be sorry to see this portion of
their dominions occupied per-
manently by Russia.

The State Superintendent
announces the quarterage in
hand for the school fund of
this parish, for the quarter end
ing Sept. 80, 1870, at 1920. 80.
The educable children are 24O5.
This number includes all citi-
zens between the ages of 6 and
81. We think these limits
should be shortened at both
ends, so that children only
would be entitled to. public ed
ucation, and not babies nor
grown persons. The ages from
Sto 16 would be much better.
One popularity of European
civilization is that the capital
cities become so important as
to constitute the hearts of the
countries, and when one of
them is taken by an enemy,
the country is conquered
This does not hold so well
of the United States. But
since the war, our condition is
fast approaching that of Eu-
rope. New York is growing
in population and wealth every
day. All other of our cities
are dwarfs beside it. The
whole public debt is controlled
by it, and with this as lever
power, it controls the nation in
all its financial affairs. Such
should not be the case, and
Congress, by legislation, should
prevent it. BY distributing
the public debt to banks in
every section of the Union, in
proportion to population, some
good in this way can be affect
ed. No naval station or pub
lie ship building should be al
lowed there. Other portsshould
be fostefed in every legal way.
And lastly, by establishing the
Capital at st. Louis, in order to
assist that city, a rival to New
York may be built up.

DUTCH CITIES.--d0llan0 is
a country located just as lower
Louisiana is. 1t has been civil
lied ever since the first rise of
letters in Western Europe, and
is now rich and populous. 1t
would then be good policy in
us to examine it's material inn
proyements and adopt those
that we find to be good. From
what we continually hear of
the Dutch cities, we think that
to adopt the method they have
of building and policing would
be very conducive to health.
Their streets are narrow,
straight and well paved, and in
many cities not a horse, cow or
hog is allowed within their
limits. Everything is kept as
clean as clean can be.
Suppose q square mile of
New Orleans was built up and
regulated in. this way: The
whole ground, streets, foun-
dations of houses and yards so
paved that it would be perfect
ly impervious to water; with
no horses, COWS or hogs within
its limits, or suffered to travel
through it; with no market
houses, grocery establishments,
dlstilleries, or anything that
would create filth and lastly,
with dry earth water-closets,
could there be epidemics there?
This square mile could con-
tain the whole population of
the city, and the rest of the
space be devoted to business
houses, to be kept under watch
at night. Some such plan must
and will be adopted to prevent
the visitations of yellow fever.
We are getting sick of hear
ing so much about High"
schools, colleges and universe
ties. In one sense of the word
they are high enough, for the
little education they give costs
very much. Again, they are
high in another sense, for they
teach, or pretend to teach, a
great many things too high for
any utility in this life.
Would it not be a good idea
to have some Low schools, in
which good useful things might
be taught, such as the multiple
cation table and penmanship
and the sciences leaving out
the dead and live languages,
tactics, &C., where the middle
class might educate their chill
dren to be useful citizens and
workers.
We had once a school in Lou
lsiana that partook, in some de-
gree, of our idea of a Low
school. 1t went under the un-
pretending name Of the State
Seminary, and the name inl-
Piled that the seeds ola good
education were sowed there.
But now ourlegislators in their
folly have erected this institu-
ton intoa University where,
from the name, everything is
to be thoroughly taught. It's
ufilitv 10 oeo,,a couoxvor
