We have never brought our
health into any discussion we have
had with the Courier, but it Seems
that journal now envies us that as

We carry on the printing bust
ness, as lawyers, physicians, mer-
chants, farmers, and all other plain
people, practice their professions
and callings, for the common object
Of making a living. We have not
been long enough in the business to
arrive at the exalted position of the
Coarier-working for glory, with nc
desire for anything of a more sub
stantial nature. Military heroes
and religious apostles have always
occupied the only two known great
fields of glory-but they are not a
patching" to that Of the Courier.

The public printing must be
done; and it must be done in ac-
cordance with the printing BILL"
or it will not be legal. Now the
Courier is too virtuous to do the
printing under the %"printing bill"
We + not. And that's the differ
ence between us.-What a wonder
the Courier has not charged us with
making the %"printing BILL" for our
own special benefit.

The Courier has come to the con-
clusion that we can tell the truth,
even i'm ".jest." This is f%1attering
from our neighbor. We thought he
had reserved this department of
morals to himself, to the exclusion
to all others. We are surprised at
his generosity; but strange things
| will happen sometimes.

Opelousas, heard a noise i'll his corn
crib. He took his gun, and APP
preached the door of the crib and
called to know who was there. No
reply was made, but a person jumped
out and ran off. He was ordered to
halt two or three times, and on fail
ing to do so, Reed fired; he then
called to him to halt again; the order
not being obeyed, he fired a second
time. The person shot at stopped
OF fell at some distance from the
crib. He was discovered to be
Philippe Chariot. He died soon
afterwards. He threw down a
couple of horse collars, in his flight,
taken from the crib, and left ill the
same a sack of corn, all of which he
acknowledged he intended to steal.

We happen to know something
about the truth of what we said in
regard to DR.. Tatma1l, as we were
on the ground at the time-the Con-
sier to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. If you do not believe it, neigh
Dor, ask some one who was present.
We never said DR.. Tatman vas not
opposed to the division of the
parish. 1t was singular, however,
that he, their political foe and a Radi-
cal, should be called Oh by gentle
men of the pure faith to save them
from their friends. We + well
aware that DIR. Tatman "has always
sustained q high reputation as a
of intelligent culture and gen
tlemanly breeding;" and for this
very reason we voted for him and
did all we could to elect him. We
are glad that the Coarier's opinion
and our own at last coincide in re
gard to him.
The Courier let's out a stream of
eloquence thus:
1--WE know of but one National
Conservative party in the United
States, opposed to the radicalism,
oppression and corruption OF
the republican party and that par
ty is known under the time honored
name of democracy.-We know that
that party has been regularly organ
lied in this State and Parish; has
held public conventions in this
Parish and elsewhere, for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for
office, and of forming and announ-
cling a platform of principles or poll
teal measures. And we know also
that the respectable gentlemen OF
this Parish to whom the editor al
ludes when he speaks Of old fogy
democrats, or many of them, were
present at those conventions, and
had always supported the nomina-
tions made by them, whether those
nominations were pleasing to them
individually or not. Can the editor
of the JOURNAL say. as much oi
himselfgv
The Editor Of the JOURNAL can
say the same of DIR. Tatman in this

Observation-Disclosures
Flour without NIillssones.

AT recent meeting Of the British Associa-
ton tor the Advancement of Science, paper
descriptive of a new mill for grinding wheat
without millstones was read. According to
the description, this mill reduces the wheat
by percussion, while it is unsupported and
falling freely or being projected through the
air. The wheat, in passing through the ma
chine, is struck by a series Of bars moving at
an immense speed in opposite directions; it is
thus instantaneously reduced to state ready
for boiling, no injurious heat being caused,
and the -four is OF much superior quality to
that obtained by ordinary grinding, while the
cost of its production Is considerably less
One of these machines in its perfect state is
in full operation in Edinburgh, and realizes
all the advantages claimed for it. The ad-
vantages are, the very light and rarely needed
repairs it requires compared with mlistones
the fewer men required and consequent saw
ing in wages; the exemption from loss by
searching the small ground and space occu-
pied; and the much less driving power
needed.
