LOUISIANA STATE UN1vERs1rY.-We
take pleasure in calling attention to
the prospectus of this excellent home
institution of learning. Day by day
it is winning Its way to popular favor
aud to secure foothold among the
best schools and colleges of the South.
Col. Boyd, the superintendent, has
had long and fierce struggle with ad
verse fortune, but his seif.sacri6cing
devotion and untiring energies are
about to be rewarded. If ever teacher
has been inspired to noble efforts by
the high and holy Offices of his calling,
that teacher is the present. head of the
State U University; and if an institution ev-
er had claims upon a people, the Univer.
sity has claims upon the people of Lou
isiana. 1t is located ut tho late Capt.
tai of the State, where the society is
noted for refinement and where are
pleasantly blended the advantages of
city and the pleasures of the country.
The location is unsurpassed for health
and Tor religious and social attractions.
The professors in the University are
well-trained and fully competent to
the task of educating the youth Of the
State. The expenses are remarkably
cheap, and the discipline of the very
best character. Parents and guardians
may repose the fullest confidence in
GIL. Boyd and in the proper morat as
we'll as mental training of Cadets plac
ed in his charge.

the Baron's fears we quite agree that the
Republican party ought to be saying
their prayers, If they know how, and 1t
is very much doubted, and in TO better
way can they atone for their sins than
by alievia,ing the burdens Of taxation.
