BELLEVUE, LA,
Saturday.. May 81, 1871.

Our neighbor parish of Web
ster has made the Office of
Clerk Of the Police Jury the
most desirable one of that par
ish. That officers salary is
fixed at three hundred dollars
per annum. From our expert
ence here, the Police will hard
ly be in session twenty days
during the year, and, conse-
quently, the Clerk viii receive
fifteen dollars per day.

The Police Jury Act, lately
signed by the Governor, does
not make any material changes
in the law as it formerly stood.
The number Of members is re-
duced TO and fixed at five, no
two of whom shall reside in the
same ward. The Governor APP
points them till the November
election i'm 1872, when they are
to be elected on a general tick
ct for the parish. Their salary
is fixed at five dollars per day,
and they are limited to thirty
days session during the year.
The law must again be remod-
eled at the next session it will
be nearly impossible to elect
five men by fhe people, by
general ticket, no two of whom
shall reside in the same ward.
The Police Jury is good in
stitution. But it should have
further duties imposed on it.
1t should be the school board
for the parish, Each ward
should elect a member, and he
should be ore Of the ward

from their houses. A sip of wine
brings on the craze which geads
him into behavior setting at
naught all decency. What can
be done with an illustrious young
poet who, invited to your recep-
ton, makes such havoc with the
proprietors as to reach across the
room with open jaws to bite the
bare neck of a handsome young
lady, whose beauty has attracted
his gaze; or who turns from the
person with whom he happens to
be conversing to butt his head fu-
riously against the WALTZ"

Observation-Disclosures iSsharp,
and Americans are curious. The
following anecdote will show that
sharp observers appreciation of
the reckless zeal and fiunky nature
of American curiosity
"The woman whose house Bis
marck took possession of at Yer
sales, wanted compensation for
the injury done to her house and
furniture. Bismarck, in his reply
proved himself a second Barnum.
"Why, Madam" he said, ''your
house is a fortune. Don't alter a
single thing; leave it all just as it
is, and the Americans flock to see
where the treaty was signed, and
you will make ever so much by
showing your ROOM"
