E@The City Council on Tuesday even
ing passed an ordinance to provide for
the more efficient drainage of the City of
New Orleans and environs, and their pro-
lection from inundation. This measure
has been passed in accordance with the
requirements of an act of the Legislature
atits last session. The importance of
draining the city and the swamp lands
adjacent is universally acknowledged and
the prompt action of the City Council,
will receive the thorough and hearty ap-
proval of the vast majority of the people.
The work we are informed will COM
mence as soon as possible. The Mayor,
Administrator of Finance, and Admins
traitor Of Improvements are associated
together as standing Committee on
Drainage, in the matter.

Sometimes the mery-making on these
baptismal journeys was suffered to lead
the company astray, and cause them to
forget the cause and object of their un-
dertaking. A baptismal company was
once crossing the mountains between
Largie and Saddell, and rested on the
road to take q refreshment of bread and
cheese and whisky; after which they
proceeded on their way, and arrived at
toe manse. The minister had begun the
ceremony, when they found that the in
FAINT was not present "Where is the
child ?" was the question and "Have
you it p "Have you it ?" the female were
asking one another, but no child could
be found. At last, the one who had been
carrying the child up to that place
where they had stayed on their way for
refreshment called to mind that she had
it down among the heather, and had
supposed that some one else must have
picked it up and brought it to the manse ;
but as this was not the case, they had
nothing for it but to retrace their steps
to the place in question, which they did
without delay, and found the child lying
quiet safely where it had been left on its
bed of heather. Then they brought it
back to the manse and had it baptized.

THE SILENT TONGUE.

The Masonic merits of ''The Silent
Tongue" are well expressed in our lee
lures, and ought to be understood by
every brother. We will enlarge upon
them.
The art of silence, if it be not one of
the fine, is certainly one of the usefnl
arts. It is an art attained by few. How
seldom do we meet with q man who
speaks only what he ought to say?
That the Bible enjoins its attainment
is most manifest. It commands us to
make door and bar for the mouth. It
declares if o man bridleth not his tongue,
his religion is vain.
The attainment of this art will enable
us to avoid saying foolish things. We
often speak without reflection, and, of
consequence, foolish thoughts, or ex-
pressions destitute of thought, are utter
ed. Possessed of the art of silence, we
shall not speak of that which ought not
to be spoken.
Again, it will enable us to avoid say
ing hurtful things. Since we are placed
in the world to do good, and since the
Endorsement ofspcech is one Of our great
est means of influence. it is most un-
seemly for us to utter that which should
do injury. He whose business it is to
root out tares should not scatter their
seed.
1t will enable us to govern our feelings
and direct our trains of thought. He
who gives expression to his feelings in
creaces their strength. He who gives
expression to anger, for example, in
creases its power over him. He who
gives utterance to improper thoughts
will increase their number.
It will increase our influence with our
fellow-men. "a fool uttereth all his
mind, but wise man keepeth it until
afterward." Gravity and reserve are as
sociated with wisdom. Even an affected
gravity is sometimes effective-the true
art of silence ever. We can be useful
only as we are influential Ponaeroy's
Democrat

TELEGRAPH DISPATCHES.

LONDON, April 19.-Details Of the fight
ing at Asnieres yesterday have been re-
ceived. The Versaillists compelled the
Communists to evacuate Asnieres, but
they reoccupied the place in the after
noon; were again attacked in the evening,
with fierce fusilade. The Versaillists
with difficulty held their positions.
A Paris dispatch Of Tuesday evening
says the Versaillists have not resumed
the offensive.
The belligerents are separated by the
Island of Grande Jatte.
The Communist losses yesterday were
very heavy.
1t is said the Nationals are greatly dis
couraged by suferings and losses.
A special to the London Standard says
the spirit of the Versailles troops was
unsatisfactory, and even discipline was
wanting.
The insurgents will probably evacuate
Asnieres to-day.
The Versaillists, carried the woods of
Colombus, the Communists suffering fear
fully in killed and prisoners.
Asnieres is now threatened on both
sides.
Changes in the French Ministry are
reported.

Cichy to Asnieres.
The insurgents were quiet and thei,
batteries silent during last night.

THE RAMPANT REDS.

The gentlemen of the Paris pavement
who, under the name of the Commune,
have assumed to govern France, display
ed calm common sense in their first
attempts at Legislation, from which man
kind augurs the happiest results should
they succeed in establishing their author
ity. Not to speak of their prompt arrest
of the Citizens styled servants of per-
son called God" (who is supposed to be
concerned in the infamous "monarchical
conspiracy, their Aagellation Of Arch
bishop Darboy, and their acquisitions
upon the banks and churches, they have
adopted certain fiscal measures of which
we know not whether to admire most
the financial expediency or the intrinsic
justice. Starting with the assumption
chat labor, industry, and commerce have
supported all the charges of the war, and
that it is just to exact from property its
sacrifices" they have decreed that all
rents for the terms of October, 1870, and
January and April, 1871, shall be remit
ted; all sums paid by tenants during
those nine months shall be credited on
future terms; all leases may be Cancelled
at the option of the tenants during six
months from the present date; and
notices to quit shall, on demand of the
tenant, be prolonged for three months.
To be sure, landlords have served in the
army as well as other people, and lost as
much as others; and in many cases while
the landlord has been fighting on the
ramparts the tenant has been living in
idleness at the expense of the State; but
the Commune has not considered such
trifes as that The great principle re-
mains that the man who has money in
his pocket is natural enemy of the man
who has not. Then there was rumor
that certain Insurance Company had
policy of 100000 francs on the life of
the e1-Empress Eugene. The Commune
adjudged that sum to be the property OF
''the people" although, according to
the vulgar notions of insurance, it can
hardly be considered due to anybody
while her Majesty is alive-and made a
demand for it, which the Company only
evaded by putting their assets where the
Commune could not find them. Next,
law was introduced canceling all bills Of
exchange under so francs. and docking
larger bills of half or third of their face.
Finally, as compulsory military service is
the most odious of despotic exactions,
the consumption was abolished, and it
was merely ordered instead that there
should be no army except the National
Guard, and in the National Guard every
able-bodied citizen should serve. With
which extension of liberty, the able
bodied citizens are undoubtedly delight
ed. It is by such measures that the
Commune ful6lls its promise to 'repair
