AN OMISSION IN THE MARKET REPORTS

AT UN1SSAON In lHE MAGkEI RtPORIS
The Times, i'll its afternoon edition YES
terday, made the following pertinent
point:
We are ANNOYED by disagreeablv peril
nent Inquiries as to the price of murder in
tins city. They come t. Us from citizens
ard strangers. from planters in the country
ano from foreigners now sojourniny il our
midst.
We have long been Of the opinion that
the Associated Press of New Orleans
should pay more attention to this i'm
portant merchantable commodity. Muir
der has entirely passed out of the list Of
moral and political questions, and now
belongs to the commercial side of the
public journals. Possibly the prices
might properly be made subject for
legislative regulation. And as long as
our present jury system continues. the
fee bill should be low We are opposed
to extortion Of every kind, and can not
see the propriety or justice of allowing
poor, ignorant juryman, such as the law
now requires, to take advantage Of a high
toned gentleman who has taken the life
OF fellOw-creature, and exact from him
an unreasonable sum as a bribe Again.
by boldly proclaiming the policy now
covertly pursued, We would invite immi-
grafton TITS true the immigrants would
not, probably, be of the most desirable
quality, but they would find plenty here
Of the saline ilk
But we object to making any dis
tinction Oh account of social or any
other adventititious circumstances. Let
the market be open to all who !
can raise the needful amount of
money. Perhaps, in case OF highway rob-
berry, there might be a provision that the
wicked prize itself should not be suffered
to buy out the law In such case the |
penalty should DC coniscation of the i'll
gotten money, and small fine in add
ion, just by way Of reminder that We can
not afford untaxed luxuries of any kind.

CRITICISM EXTRAORDINARY

The Bulletin takes one of our district
judges to task for recent decision in re-
gard to license tax sought to be col
lected from private club. The decision
was correct in the main, the Bulletin kind
~ comedies, but the statement of the
Judge that license tax is constitutional
is mere nonsense
The B,Aetju publishes the decision
which it SO fearlessly criticises, and it
appears, therefore, that the Judge was
simply quoting or paraphrasing the iudg-
ment OF the Supreme Court in the case of
the State VS.. Volknan, Twentieth Annual
Report.

While the public mind has been asi-
tated about the iron barge line to st.
Louis, It has often occurred to US that the
operators in that enterprise were spending
their efforts in the wrong direction. #
they would turn their attention to the
creation of lines of steamers running to
ports in South America and Mexico they
would be better engaged. We must have
outside trade or our inside commerce will
not keep us up. The goods to ship
abroad Will come to our wharves if We
OILY provide way to get rid of them, and
all the barge lines that can be built will not
create trade in New Orleans if we do not
provide market for the grain after it
has been consigned to Us. Con-
gress and the State should he
urged by all the known persuasives 70
assist Us in this matter. Subsidies should
be granted that would tempt steamship
owners to put their vessels in the service
of our commercial intercourse with South
ern ports, and every concession should be
made to induce traders to seek the route
from st Louis to Rio Janeiro that passes
by our doors. Once let it be established
that rapid shipments and cheap freights
can be obtained from New Orleans to for
eign markets, and the domestic owners of
the corn and flour will see about getting it
to market. With a cheaper transportation.
and Just as good and speedy, letween
New Orleans and foreign markets. once
established and published to the world,
and We could not keep consignments out
o. town. Trade is like water in that re-
spect, and Will overflow in the direction
that offers superior advantages.

Cling under, and several gentlemen who
have oft signalized their love for the peo-
pie by Offering to become Mayor Of New

promptly paid; and the men who had
never received their salaries regularly
while pretending to be in the military
service. were maintained in profound
peace by pensions that were paid without
even requiring the recipients to put on
the show of earning their wages. It was
made the interest of these men to pre-
serve the peace, because the State in
formed them that their pensions could
only be paid while the country was
tranquil. After the officers were disposed
OF there was but little difficulty in dis
banding most Of the soldiers, which was
done at once, the government only con-
senting to retain regular force of about
ten thousand men.
This happy solution CT a great difficult
ty had two good results: First, it relieved
the public treasury of an immense bur-
den: and, secondly, it crippled the power
of the military leaders to create revolu-
tionary movements with the armies under
their command. President Juarez took
care to distribute the force in such way
that no one single officer could endanger
the state. and he has managed to con-
tinue this wise and peaceful policy up to
the present time, never putting into any
single mans hands sufficient force to
make him dangerous to the government
And, though revolutions have frequently
been attempted, they have always failed
OF success, because the president has re-
he'd upon the people and they have inva-
rlably assisted him to suppress ambitious
disturber, of the public peace.
General Diaz is the latest rebel against
the government which Mexico has estab-
lished for herself. He is purely a mill
tary man, having no reputation but such
as he has acquired in the armies of the
republic. He submitted his name to the |
people as candidate for the presidency
IN opposition to Juarez. and having been
beaten, like all the military men who dis
tucbed Mexico from the time of Iturbide !
to the overthrow of NIiramon, he now ap
peais to tie sword to put him in office
The interest of the American people in
this contest is the same now that it was
in 1871, when the United States united in
recognizing Juarez although he held but
the city Of Vera Cruz, on the Gulf of
Mexico. The success of Diaz would be
the overthrow of republicanism in Mexico
and the return of military rule and revo-
lutionary anarchy. The country would
again fall into the hands of rival chief
tains, each Of whom would cost the state
as much as the entire government of
Juarez does at present. In this condition
Of affairs, therefore, We are glad to see
that the American minister is giving the
benefit Of his countenance and advice to
Tie Legitimate president Of Mexico. and
t is to be hoped the government at Wash
nSton Will not let the opportunity pas,
% encourage the true republicans Of our
sister republic.

The Mrstery on PunetuatlOn.

An old composition tells this story
I'VE remember, number of years
ago, when we were at work in book
Office near Boston, the copy was re-
eeived for a scientific work. The copy
was manuscript, with every letter
we'll formed, every capital letter in its
proper place, every word distinct, and
punetuated. It was plain as reprint,
and called by the eOmpOsitors the
best manuscript they had seen. This
copy was given out to the eOmpOsitOrs
a few pages at a time, who set it up
and punctuated it as they had been in
the habit of doing, each as he thought
the sense required The prOOf-reader
read the proofs, marked few changes
in the punctuation, as he did in most
Of the proofs, and the matter was cor
reeted. Another prOOf,Was taken and
corrected, ard when thirty or forty
pages were ready, they were sent to
the author for his inspection. In a
few days the proofs came back, with
the punctuation marked freely. 1t
was corrected, of course, and the COM
pOsitOrs then got orders to follow
copy in punctuation.n They did so,
as another lot was forwarded to the
author, punctuated exactly according
to the copy. In due time these proofs
came back, and with the punctuation
marked more than before, if that were
possible. This irritated the proof
reader somewhat, and he sent the
scientific author a not very polite
note, saying "If / can't punctuate
this work to suit YOU, and you can't
punctuate it to suit yourself, what are
you going to do ?' In reply, the
author said he wasn't aware he had
been correcting the Office punctuation;
but, if the prOOf-reader would see to
the punctuation, he would be greatly
obliged, rs it was something he knew
nothing about. After that there was
no more trouble about punctuation on
that work.

How Orlen sbouId we Eat!

A great many dOgmatic rules have
been laid down respecting "the proper
number of meals To be eaten per day.
1t IS very seldom that we can make
absolute rules in hygiene. The same
rule does not suit every one; "A the
old saw has it. "What is one mans
meat IS another mans poison" The
principle holds true Of the times oil
eating as well as Of the food We eat.
Three meals per day are enough, and
not too many for majority of grown
persons. Some are healthier and;
stronger with but two meals a day
and we hear OF a crack-brained doctor
in BOstcn who thinks that he can get
along with but one. Even if he could
do so, that is no reason why he
should recommend his example as q
rule for other persons to follow. There
have been cases where men have
tasted for weeks or even for months,
and have kept their health; but their
example does not prove that a weeks
fast is a good thing for ordinary
mOrtals. The common sense prinei-
pie, that each person should judge
accordingly TO his Own experience Of
how many meals he needs, is sulli-
cient in most cases. Children would
generally be better of for eating four
or five times a day ; in some house
holds that we know it is the practice
to give them free access to the bread
and-butter pantry during the day,
forbidding them any thing between
meals that would tempt the appetite
too strongly. Achild viii not become
a gluttOn upon bread and butter, and
we can recommend this practice in
the case of children whose appetites
have away Of getting demOnstrative
between meal times. II they are real
ly hungry they can feed in this way
to good advantage; il they are not
hungry, they are prevented from
stuffing themselves because they have
nothing else to dO.-Hedyth and
Home.
