A man having married a wo-
man i'll Tazewell county, Ill,
who had four husbands, was
asked why he became the fifth.
He said, 81 am of an adventur-
Gus disposition, and having
heard that her first husband
ran away, that the second hung
himself, the third shot himself,
and the fourth drowned HIM
self, I wanted to try my luck
and see what would become of
me; and Pm afraid" he added
with a sigh, "that ashanti have

my predecessors did,"

Southern Manufactures.

The spirit of manufacture in the
Southern States has been materi-
ally encouraged and strengthened
by the demonstrated success of all
the enterprises now in operation
there. The cotton mills of Geor-
gia and Mississippi are so pros
porous, and SO readily find a
greedy market for all the fabrics
they can turn out, that all the
leading papers in those States are
actively urging the formation of
more companies and the erection
of more mills. Why should not
the South manufacture a large
portion of its own cotton, is a
question kept constantly before
the people. The ordinary cotton
crop of the Southern States is
worth 1925, 000, 900. The simple
conversion oft into yarns would,
it is estimated, add $3.50, 000,0 900
to this valuation, employ
thousands of operatives, and dis
tribute among them $36,0O0,O00
in wages annually. Of course it
is not proposed that the South
should convert all its lint into
yarn; the figures are only given
to show how profitable the mana
facture of a portion of it is. The
South has not the vast capital nor
the trained manufacturing skill of
New England; but the making of
yarns and coarse cloth does not
require either large capital nor
great skill, and it is proposed that
a commencement be made with
these rude manufactures, leaving
the higher departments of the. art
TO fellow, as they certainly will
follow in due time. Southern men
who have given the whole subject
careful attention and study, de
clare that cotton yarns can be
made in the South cheaper, by
five cents a pound, than in the
North, and that yarns made in
the South and exported to Eu-
rope can be sold for four and a
half cents a pound cheaper than
yarns made in Europe of export
ed American cotton. Ii this claim
is correct, it presents a margin
large enough to warrant as many
yarn factories in the South as can
be established there for twenty
years to come. A spinning mill
that would employ 81 operatives,
and consume S87 bales Of cotton,
would not cost over $4,000, and
the annual profits on the sale Of
its yarns at northern prices, it is
estimated, would be $4,000

Our late kilograms show
pretty clearly an endof the war
in Cuba. Jordan has come
away and the insurgents are
making propositions through
the Spanish minister at Wash
ington to end the difficulty.
Spain it is thought will grant
them fair terms.
In this matter our admins
tration has shown good sense
not to espouse the cause of the
colored Cubans against the
whites. 1t is also using pretty
rough means to quiet the color
ed fellow man of the Western
plains. So after all our appre-
tensions, we are likely to have
a white mans government.

One of the most serious &C
cidents occurred on the 9th
day of April in Richmond. A
conservative caucus had con-
vened in a room of the capitol.
just over this room a Court
met to try the mayoralty case,
and so great a crowd collected
in the Court room that the
floors gave way and the whole
fell ON the causus below. About
200 individuals were seriously
injured and about forty killed.
among whom are many men Of
note in Virginia. There is
mourning in every house o.
the city.

The glelt Ecunencal Coun-
Gil is about to declare the Pope
infallible. Good Catholics have
always held the Church to be
infallible, and as this Council
is the Church embodied, of
course its decree will be infalli-
ole and confer infallibility on
the Pope, if he never had it be-
fore.
We can't see that this decree
could have any effect, good OF
bad, upon the world at large.
A law of God is a law, whether
it is believed or not. The earth
went round the sun five thou
sand times before Copernicus
convinced the world that it
went round at all. The belief
that the sun went round the
earth did not make it so. So
disbelief in Instability will not
disprove it, nor would univer-
sal belief in it be any proof of
it's truth.
We are glad to see the grow
ing mildness of the various
sects of Christians towards
each other. Both Catholic and
Protestant countries are fast
becoming tolerant. Bigoted
Scotland and bigoted Spain
have both at length become
tolerant. It is to be hoped that
henceforth there will be no per
secution for religious opinions,
or for want of religion.

The Banner is the unofficial
organ of Bossier parish. Ac
cording to an act passed at the
last session of our Legislature,
judicial advertisements can be
made as legally by posting in
three public places in the par
ish, as by publication in any pa
per not selected by the Cover
nor as an "official paper"
The act leaves it discretion
airy with the parties either to
advertise by publication or by
posting. 1t is a petty thrust at
the anti-Radical press of the
State. However, so far as we
are concerned, we have no Oh
jections to this law.

retires from the business in dis
gust, and the goose that laid
the golden egg is thereby kill
en-. The papers weekly relate
the vast injury caused by
"strikes" of artisans and labor
ers to themselves first, and af-
forwards to the general pros
perity.
Do you pretend to dignity
yourself with the name of me-
chanic, and yet not have indie
pendence enough to govern
your own actions, but must
needs join a society by which
you are to be controlled9 If
you are not remunerated we'll
enough here go elsewhere, or
change your calling. The world
is wide and you are a free man,
or ought to be.
There is competition in
everything, and it is right that
it should be So The mechanics
wages may be reduced by it,
but same cause reduces the
prices of articles he needs
Again, competition between
employers will increase wages.
Allow it, therefore, as between
yourselves and see to it that
the same principle holds as to
employers. And if you cannot
control it as to them in any
other way, become an employer
yourself.
The time has not yet arrived
in the United States when one
has to beg. for work. On the
contrary, labor, both skilled and
unskilled, is so much sought
after that there is a lively com
petition among employers and
none among laborers. The la
borer receives, therefore, just
as much as the employer car

Trades Unions.

or certain CalllngS In
order to raise the price of labor,
or the products of labor, is one
of the greatest evils of these
times. There was a time in
the history of Europe when the
formation of guilds, trades cor
porations and the collection of
artisans in cities was of vast
benefit to the artisans, and also
gave a vast impetus to civiliza-
ton.
But times have changed and
we should change with them.
Formerly the artisan needed
the protection of numbers and
walls against the rapacity of
the noble robber. Now he
thinks that he needs protection
against his fellow artisan. He
has successfully freed himself
from thraldom to the great, and
must in turn Cypress his fellow.
He thinks or pretends to think
that he is battling against this
ideal king, named Capital,
when in truth there is no such
thing as capital in contradis-
tinction to labor. Labor is cap
ital and capital is labor, or the
product of labor. The journey
man carpenter, mason or prin-
ter who makes his three dollars
a day, or nine hundred dollars
a year, is worth as much to
himself as if he owned $4,000
! of U. S. bonds, because his
wages equals the interest on
that sum.
In this article we shall take
for granted as true the modern
principle, that every one should
be allowed the fullest liberty
compatible with enlightened
pubhcp policy, and that that pub
lie -policy only is enlightened
which is foT the greatest good
to the greatest number. Every
one should be allowed to use
his money or direct lis labor as
he pleases, provided he Injuries
no one.
A capitalist meditates as tt
how he will invest profitably
He sees ships selling for certain
prices; material can be bought
and labor had at certain rates,
therefore, he concludes to invest
in ship building. He does so, and
the business bids fair to be pro.
fitable. But material and labor
rise in value simply from in.
crease of demand, and he is in.
jured; yet blame can rest no,
where. However, on the Other
hand, this rise in value maybe
caused in a way that is wrong
Surprising prices to remain al
what they started at, the ship
builder contracts to build many
ships at moderate prices now
if his artisans league together
to raise the price of work inst
at that time they injure hin
and do wrong. Still yet it il
but a moderate wrong. Blu
when they go further, and by
threats, ridicule, abuse and the
hundred other ways in which
crowds can Cypress individuals
they prevent artisans netin thu
league from contracting to la
Dor. they do outrageous wrong
