This il said BY the Coushatta Times:

If the columns of our paper present this
week an improved appearance, we beg leave
to say that it is all owing to the fact that q
portion Ut the type was set by the fingers of
one of our handsomest and most accom-.
plished ladies, who, con amore, essayed the
other DAY to learn the mysteries OF the
printers art in the Office of the Times Such
talent and facility for type-setting is rarely
displayed, If ever. by any novice of the
sterner sex in this art. The editor is at a
loss which most to admire, the care and
rapidity with which she accomplished the
task, the exactness Of her composition. or
the courage of our fair visitor in undertak.

The Opelousas Courier saws:

There is NO further need nowadays of
either gun, pistol or knife to kill man. A
Kick N sufficient, ~ the following Incidents
OF recent occurrence will show.
On the tenth instant Mr.. Robert Newell,
respectable citizen residing on Elm bayou,
in the northern part Of this parish, was en-
gagged IN fight with two brothers (Reed).
Newell had been worsted, a. might be ex-
pected, and the contestants we're being
parted, when the beaten man kicked one Of
his adversaries, Emile Reed, who imme-
dlAtely said he would die, and expired
few minutes after.
A few days after the above occurrence,
while two freedmen were fighting, one Of
them kicked the other. who died few days
after. This occurred on Bayou Bout.

and game are plenty, says that his boys,
who all have gun apiece, became short of
percussion caps few days ago, and the first
thing he knew they where shooting with
match heads as a substitute. How many
boxes OF matches he had lost in that way
ne d'd not say, but he found they fred as
clear as the cap itself. Here is q chance for
some man to make fortune BY getting out
a new patent. All that is necessary is to

Says the Plaquemines Republican:

The action of Governor Warmoth in the
matter of the Levee Company is to be com.
mended by all good citizens. He shows
by his course that he has the welfare Of the
people at heart. This Levee Company ia
only gigantic swindle. They propose to
gorge themselves with millions of the hard
earned dollars Of the people in return for
what! the promise to do certain labor at
four times it's real value. The Governor has
blocked that nice little game.

l do not consider it necessary to dwell
upon the machinery Of the first named
three cities, as that class of machinery hae
been so long in use. aud is too well known
to entlt!e 1t to more than the passing re-
mark-that all this machinery has given
perfect satisfaction, and was certainly
working admirably. while under my in
spection.
The Holly system, as being of late intro
uucuon, presenting several novelties Of
CONSTRUCTION and arrangement, and as
claimlng many advantages over the old
systems, naturally demanded nv most At
tentive confederation.
A novelty in machinery, to entitle it to
adopuon' must present claims of excellence
over otner machinery which it is intended
to supersede.
After carefully observing the Holly ma.
chinery, can not perceive the adyantaoes
IN the employment of q number of ANAL
reciprocating pumps instead Of using one
or TWO large once, a. 10 the custom under
the old system. Multiplicity of parts ia a
. general rule, Objectionable in mach;ns,-,
~ it lessons simplicity and increasea liz,
bility to arrangement. These pumps Ara
so arranged As to be driven by gearing or a
train of tooth wheels. Too much can mot
be said against plan which renders gear
ing necessary, especially in high speeds: il
is noisy in its operation and is largely and
continuously absorbing power by the fric-
ton of the various parts. In this respect,
practically an important one, this system is
greatly inferior to tho old mode or that in
use in this city, but the most striking pecu-
ment Of what might be designated a. SD
pernumerary rotary pumps. to be put into
operation only in case Of fre, for the pur-
pose of producing an increased pressure. bv
