nuisance. The rich paper of

them ON certain OCCASIONS, for
with it they look pretty and
serve to attract attention. But
with us, who have to use types
and eleetrotypes on bad paper,
with, oftentimes, bad working
printing apparatus. they much
mar the appearance of the pa
per. The art of, Of engraving
hasreached such perfection that
"a rough print, instead OF eng
.dering pleasure creates disgust.
Many advertisers think that
pictures attract attention, and,
therefore, they desire them If
such one is willing not only

The Bridge Fever

lice jury and citizens general
" are SO thoroughly affecged
with this disease. A splendid
bridge has been built across
Cypress bayou on the upper
stage road to Shreveport. For
this the Police, at the last ses-
sion, p2id sixty cents per run
ming footand for covering, in
accordance with our general
law. In justice to other parts
of the parish, they thought
they could do nothing more
forit. A subscription to pay
the balance of the builders ex-
penses has been started, and
a hundred dollars subscribed
and paid in Bellevue. The i'm
mediate ~ neighbors of til G
bridge are expected to add
enough. q A bridge at the AL
den old bridge site on same
bayou, is a necessity to a large
portion of the parish, and we
have assurance will be built by
subscription and aid from the
parish under the general law.
The Police have put on foot
a splendid scheme for bridging
the bayousin Red River bottom
on the Minden and Shreveport
road, They clearly see the
great necessity for bridges
there, and know that funds
could not be raised equitably
1 = d. b..
by taxation to build them.
They therefore propose to pay
for them in tolls, to he taken al
Red Chute. [See Police Jury
Proceedings, on ontside.]
The Red Chute ferry has,
generally, leased for a rhou-
sand dollars a year. The lessee
certainly makes a profit--say
$500, Thus the ferry is worth
81, 800 per annnm, or $1,000
in ten years-a sum amply
sufficient to remunerate the
bridge contractor, But more
than this, the buiIGing of the
bridges will increase the length
ef time the road is passabIe
and, of course, increase the
tolls.

Old Republican on the Politi-
cal Situation and louisa
ma Legislature Of January, |
1872.
Past legislation in Louisiana
has been attended with results
that but few politicians of the
State foresaw. 1t has divided and |
split parties into flinders, and |
brought abonJ a political confu- |
sion, equal to that at the time |
the famous old Tower of Babel |
was abandoned. And in the com
ing session of the Legislature, the |
members of that honorable body |
are not in enviable positions, as
the times have changed, and the |
eyes of their constituents are
upon them. They need not expect |
any indulgence on account of par
ty names or race, but, like a tub |
on It's own bottom, must stand On
their own merits.
The necessities of the times and
the spirit of the people of Louis !
lana demand honesty and reform
