four and wounding of twenty persons,
according to the Republican.
The origin Of the trouble at Donald
sonvil!c is unknown, but New Orleans
papers of Thursday evening report the
Parish Judge and Mayor of Donaldson
vile killed, and others wounded, with
500 negroes in possession of tho town,
and the town in flames. Troops had

OF that number, or over seventy per
cent, had never learned trade. This
pregnant fact conveys lesson of pro-
found interest to those who have in
charge the training of boys and girls for

adequate amount of education.
PRESENTATION Or GAME AND PROPAGATION
OF FISH.
Many OF the States of the Union have
enacted laws for the preservation of
game, by the prohibition of killing of
them during the breeding season. AS
the wanton and indiscriminate shooting
of birds and game animals during the
breeding season must result gradually
| in their extinction, and to the encon-
ragement and multiplication of myriads
of destructive insects, to the great injury
and destruction of vegetation and the
crops, would call your attention to the
matter as worthy of your consideration.
In this connection, would also recon-
mend the protection and announcement
OF artificial fish breeding, by protecting
the owners of fish-ponds from trespasses
and depredations. A law was passed by
the last General Assembly, authorizing
the appointment of eight Fish Commits
sioners. one for each Judicial Circuit,
and defining the duties thereof. These
appointments were not made, for the
following reasons: It wns found that
competent men could not be procured
1or the salary authorized to be paid, and
no greater results would have been at
tanned ey the selection of incompetent
men than without any. 1t was thought
pest 70 leave the whole subject for ad-
ditlonal legislation, in the hope that it
would conform to the practice prevailing
IN those States which have had most
experience and success In fish culture.

the warmest admiration. Those who saw in
him only the meddlcr. the instigator of dis
cord, the insolent assailant, and the ferocious
despot, will regard his death simply as an
other instance of that retributive justice
which is sometimes meted out to the wicked
in this world The actual place, however
which Lopez will fill in history cannot now
be stated.
Up to very short time it was believed that
Lopez would escape to Bolivia, and this was,
without doubt, his intention when he was
overtakcn by the Brazilian forces. He saved
the allies from a grave responsibility by not
surrcndering himself, but prefcrring to die
sword in hand. Better would it have been
for his people if he had fallen two years since
in the defense of Humaita. 1t is mournful
subject for reflection, the comparison between
what Paraguay might have been to-day, if Lo-
PEE had followed in the footsteps of his father
and the miserable state in which he leaves it.
The evil done by men lives after them, and a
century must pass before Paraguay can re-
cover from the terrible effects produced
by the pride and sefishness of him whe has
just died by the hands of a Brazilian soldier.
Lopez left four sons by his Morgantic mar
riage with Madame Lynch. He was man of
limited information, butts said to have spoken
English French, and Spanish correctly. He
was corpulcnt, but agile; agreeable in con-
versation with strangers, lofty and arrogant
with his own people. His physiognomy was
more Spanish than Indian. Sometimes he
dressed in the garb of Napoleon Bonaparte, a
weakness also related of the first Dictator
Franca. He wore his beard long. and was
about five feet and eight inches in height
During the long war just ended, he is declared
to have shown military talent of only an in
ferior order.
