INCIDENTS IN PARIs.-We take the fol.
lowing from the last number of tho Lon
don Tablet:
Some pleasant incidents are, however,
recorded in the conduct Of tie Religious
close to the Convent of Capucins (which
has been visited aud pillaged by Federal
Guards) is a Convent Of Augustinian la
dies, who have received the eQuivocal hon
or Of q peTquisition. The Superioress, a
lady of spirit, vanquished her military
visitors by her more than feminine gifts.
Conducting them herself through the house,
she SO far converted their minds as to pre-
vail upon all of them to accept devotion
ally medals. The captain, however, had
not come for a medal and he proposed to
prosecute his search with reference to more
valuable commodities. How far he had
proceeded in his quest does not transpire /;
but being convinced of his own audacity,
in the presence of SO winning q lady, he
asked her pa. don, and offered his hand, in
token of lepentant homage. Willingly"
take medal" "W Well /" said the captain,
why mott for, after all, lam Catholic;''
and, accepting the medal, he quilted the
Convent, without any further perquisition.
Another story, with a different moral, il
much discussed in Paris. A workman
mounted to the cupola of church, and
planted the Red flag upon it. But first, he
sawed Oft the two arms of the cross to
make the attachment more easy. He was
Immediately seized with a mortal giddi-
ness; and, an hour after, he died. This
sudden death has created a profound i'm
preston on those who were witnesses of it,
and on those who heard the story. The
most incredulous could not help suspecting
q more than natural coincidence.

The Coffee Trade.

New York admits that struggle is now
necessary to retain the balance of the coffee
trade, Baltimore being her great rival.
While New Orleans and Baltimore show a
great increase in the trade since January,
New York has stood still, and during the
last month Baltimore has had larger trade
IN coffee than New York and New Orleans
combined. In answer to the question,
why is this!" the New York Grocer SAYS:
Solely because of the cheapness with
which she can make shipments to the West.
The extortions to which New York i'm
Porters are subjected are unknown in
Baltimore. No DR.. Carnochan holds the
commerce Of Baltimore subject to his own
will and whims. Cargoes of coffee are NOT
guaranteed at that port at 240 per cent
above trade rates charged for lightering.

won Der prominence in trade so easily that
her merchants seem to prize it too lightly.
and when they seem to stand most firmly
are IN most danger of failing" The same
reasons are operating to increase the coffee
trade OF Philadelphia. Our merchants have
every advantage for this trade which is
possessed by those of Baltimore, and even
greater, since the perfect railroad system
of the Pennsylvania Central Company
affords superior facilities for TRANSPORTS

We copy the following editorial from th
Assumption Chronicle.

We copy the following editorial from tn,
Assumption Chronicle:
For numbers, zeal and enthusiasm, the
| Republican State Convention held at Turner
Hall was without parallel in the history
OF political gatherings in the State of Lou
isiana or elsewhere.
From every parish in the State full dele
cations were in attendance, and, what is
better, they brought with them most cheer
ing assurances of the revived interest which
the members of the party feel in the cause
they are banded together to sustain and
carry forward.
The work of the convention seems to have
been carefully considered and very wisely
accomplished. In the composition of the
resolutions an eye was kept ON every con-
sideration essential to success. On the com
mittees we have men of ability, and men
who have been so identified with our cause
as TO leave no doubt Of their reliability.
The members of the State and Congress
sional committees are distributed over the
State with as much fairness as is usually
attained, and the names on those committees
are strong In influence in the sections which
they represent. The resolutions show
frank and fair statement of the principles
and purposes of the party.
The executive committee is under the eff
Gent craftsmanship of Hon. P. B. s. Pinch
back, fact which is a cause of congratula-
ton to all true Republicans. All that dill
gence, energy and skillful management can
do will certainly be done to make the Re
pablican party successful.
This convention has done its work well.
Let the districts and parishes follow their
example, and elect strong parish commit
tees, and wisely plan and work for victory.
We must enter into the next canvass with
our eyes open to the fact that we have vi
gilant foe to meet, and no strength to waste.
for it is a well known fact, now, that we
have bad men in the Republican party that
will scruple at nothing mean to disrupt the
success of the Republican party. Our adj
vice to every good Republican is to shun
such men, and show them up, in order that
they will be forever disabled to hereafter do
any harm to the Republican party.
If such course be. pursued, and the CEN
trail committees Of the various parishes work
and in harmony with the State
Committee, Louisiana is safe for us in 1872
by an overwhelming majority. All we want
is true Republicans in our party, and full
vote, to make us successful.

A Southern Grief.
From the Chicago Evening Post.

FROM tue ChicaSO Evening Post.
One of the worst defects of the original
State organizations in the South was the
omission to provide for township govern
sWents. 1t is to this special feature that the
nth owes the strength of its republican
ciples. The creation of these local
Inequalities, each independent of the
|9USher, ruling its own special affairs, while
represented in both county boards and State
Legislatures, is vital force of democratic
authority; the sovereign seat of tile power
of the people. A county was subdivided
into few voting precincts or parishes, and
held the same relation to the State that a
town does to a county in the North. One of
the great griefs of old rebel fogies is the in
corporation Of the township system of gov
eminent into the new State constitutions.
They gravely figure the number of town otfi-
GERS, and hold them up as a most wasteful
and useless appendage The reason of this
is, that they have no comprehension of rep
resentatTve government-haye never, in
fact, lived under one, and dread change
that alone can assure the liberties of the
people. The ancient State organizations
were deemed to be something of overpower
ing dignity and Importance. Next to this
was the county. Anything nearer the peo-
pie excited profound terror. And now that
a new system has been created, which gives
every man direct interest in public affairs,
their lamentations are loud and long. The
amount OF sympathy they will be likely to
excite in the North over such grievance
will do them no good. They must accept
republican government as part of their
lost cause. Left to their old ways they
would speedily relapse into despotism.

Getting a Ticket.

Mr.. Enfemoser, of the Monroe Intelli-
gencer, relates his experience in pgetting a
ticket TO the CustonhOuse convention. He
mentions his arrival here and says:
i Immediately proceeded to the Custom
house, seeking admission to the State con
ventiOn of the Republican party. l found
all entrances guarded by United States
troops and deputy United States marshals,
who refused admittance to me because
had no ticket Finding that Mr. C. W.
Lowell, the postmaster, was the disburser
OF the tickets, | applied to him, stating that.
as the editor of Republican newspaper, |
desired to attend the convention. In a
manner, to say the least, very discOurteOus,
ne replied that he had no ticket and that |
should go up stairs and get one, when he
knew perfectly well could not get up stairs
without the ticket.
81, FINDING friend, Mr.. A. Monroe, who had
the open sesame, finally gained admittance
INTO the building; thence to the office of
United States Marshal Packard, TO whom l
stated my wishes, when he, at once, fur
nIshed me with the ticket.

4 good anecdote is related of DR.. Rice
which enforces its own lesson. When he
was at the head OF the theological seminary
in Prince Edwards, one of the out parishes
of Virginia sent. to him for a minister
They, as usual in such cases, wanted a
scholar, gentleman, an orator, pastor, a
fine writer-in short, perfect minister.
They had formerly given $3.50 per annum;
but now, if they could get such man as
they wanted, they would raise it to $780,
The doctor answered by telling them to
send to heaven for DR.. Wright. He was
the only such man he knew; and as he had
been living good while on spiritual food.
he might possibly live on $500.
Hon. Isaac 0. Barnes was celebrated for
his jokes. The proprietor of Broomfield
House, Boston, being Baptist, was called
upon for donation to aid in completing
meeting house for colored society. After
giving to the object, the proprietor d.
rected his cOlored brother to Mr.. Barnes,
who was reading newspaper in the public
room at the time. The agent approached
Mr.. Barnes, presented his object, and asked
for donation. After asking a few cues
tions, Mr.. Barnes told the applicant to put
him down Tor donation of five hundred
dollars. Astounded and delighted, the col
ored man thanked the liberal donor again
and again. Barnes interrupted him by
saying, IL make this donation on one con-
dition, which must be stated on the sub
scription paper, viz: all candidates for

The Te,re5onne Banner saws of III

The Te'Tebonne Banner says of the
weather and crops:
The weather has been excessively warm
for the past week with rain almost every
day. Sometimes it has fallen in slight show
ers, and then again it poured down as
though heaven and earth were about to
come in contact.
The cane has profted by the dampness
and has grown most wonderfully. 1t will
now compare very favorably with the cane
of this date last year, and it may turn out
much better, as it is now in such good
growing condition. The sugar crop in this
parish will very probably exceed that of
last year from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand hogsheads, tor the reason that there
has been more planted, and should the
yield be very good, we may make five thou
sand hogsheads more than last season.

The Planters Banner has these para
graphs about the cotton worm:
RUmors Of the appearance of the cotton
worm are occasionally heard, but most
planters appear to hope that they have
come so late that little or no harm will be
done. 1t will be thirty days before they
can make their appearance in force, and
that will throw the crops beyond the mid
die of September, and nearly beyond danger
of severe injury. .

parish of Vermilion, just informed Us that
near that village, nearly whole field of
cotton has been devoured by the cotton
worm. The statement we think entirely
