Besides the teachers named above,
the Board has had in employ, for a
portion of the time, Mr.. f. NJ. Sin
gleton, Mrs. L. S. Webb, Chas. f.
Lutz, Rev. T. G. Lacey, and perhaps
others, giving a force of twenty
eight public school teachers. Ihave
not complete reports but am conf
dent that over eight hundred chill
dren have been during this time
under instruction in our parish free
schools, with a pay roll of about tif-
teen hundred dollars per month.
This is record which has never
been excelled in the parish, and re-
fleets great credit upon all concern
ed. Take notice that the best
friends of the people are those who
take care of their children; the best
friends of the government are those
who labor to make it's citizens intel
ligent, virtuous, Industrious and en-
terprising. 49,
There is a grand future for our
country if the press, the pulpit and
the public school combine to accom-
plish this work.

German Losses.

The German Correspondent Stern,
which boasts of being unusually well
informed on all official and military
subjects, contains in a late issue a
list of the total losses of the Ger
man forces during the late war, from
which we reprint the following con
densed resume: The sum total of
the losses, it is now ascertained,
amounts to 1890 officers and 112, ,O3S
men, distributed among the various
States which now make up the Ger
man Empire, as follows: Officers
killed-North Germany 91S; Bava-
ria 156; Wurtemberg %; Baden %;
Hessia a. altogether 1165. Woun-
ded-North Germany 1912; Baya-
ria 564; Wurtemberg Ga; Baden
1872; Hessia 63; altogether 1896.
Missing-North Germany 80. War
rant officers and men killed-North
Germany 1889; Bavaria 1924
Wurtemberg 664 Baden 423; Hes
sia 6S1. Wounded-North Germa-
ny 1872; Bavaria 1927; Wur-
temberg 1858; Baden 257S; Hes
sia 1867! Missing-North Germany
5902; Baden 263. North Germany
has thus lost 1920 officers and 92,-
533 men; Bavaria 72O officers and
11,744 men; Wurtemberg 80 Off
GERS and 1852 men Baden 154 Off
GERS and 1864 men; and Hessia 107
officers and 214S men. From this it
will be seen that great and signal as
were the victories of GermanyA yet
greater and more bloody were the
sacrifices through which they were
acquired.

send you statement of public
schools in st. Landry during the
half year just ended. Great credit
is due to the Parish School Direct
ors, Messrs. Anderson, Mayo, Tat
man, Bell and McNiel, for the i'll
dustry and public spirit they have
shown. [ desire here to record my
Indebtedness to them for assistance
rendered to me in my duties as Di-
vision Superintendent.
Most of the schools are now Sus-
pended in consequence OF the hot
weather, for repairs, and because
the teachers fund is exhausted. On
the first Monday in September next,
with a replenished treasury, and
with renewed energy Oh the part of
teachers and pupils, schools will be
re-opened. Some changes i'll loca-
ton and in teachers are contem-
plated. Ample accommodations and
able teachers are to be provided for
both white and colored children.
Schools for the latter are proposed
at Prairie Laurent, Grand Coteau
and Waxia.
| shall always be glad to receive
any suggestions from citizens and
directors, concerning openings for
schools, situations for teachers, or
difficulties which may occur. The
people are urged to afford the School
Directors and teachers the Indest
cooperation accord them all honor
for their works sake; send your
children puncttlally to school, and
encourage in every way the work OF
public education.
The law says, every mans child
shall have an education, and the
glory Of Our country is it's free school
system. It will not be long before
public sentiment will rebul1e severe
" the man who neglects to send his
children to school.

Treatment Of Yellow Fever.

The editor of the Groesbeck TEX
as) Enterprise, who claims much ex-
perience of this disease, says:
There is but one treatment uni
versally agreed upon as the most
successful !: During the epidemic
eat nothing hard to digest, be care
full of exposure to night air, and if
attacked by the fever, take warm
bath and purgative the first thing;
induce and keep up a perspiration !;
keep well covered; eat nothing !;
keep the bowels open, and avoid
taking cold. There is no necessity
for taking strong medicines, though
it is well to have a competent ply
sician take the case in hand at once;
and the most careful nursing and
abstemious diet, for several weeks,
are absolutely essential to recovery.
With these, and a clear conscience,
nine patients out of ten will recover.

Cost OF PRUssIA's EMPIRE IN
EURopE.-A paper laid before the
Prussian Parliament, the other day,
contains an account of the exact
cost to Prussia Of the seven weeks
war with Austria in 1866. Includ-
ing the indemnities paid to the de-
posed sovereigns of Hanover and
Nassau, the total is $113, 163, 40.
But deductions have to be made.
The King of Hanover and the Grand
Duke of Nassau, whose dominions
Prussia annexed, received indemni-
ties to the amount of $1S,669, ,0SO,
which, large as it is, is more than
covered by the value of the crown
lands and real property which were
acquired in exchange therefor. There
also was a sum Of 800, ,625, 900, un-
der the head of repayment to the
State Treasury Of the reserve fund,
which was appropriated by the Prus-
sian Government to meet the imme-
date necessities of the war. De-
ducting these two amounts, the ac-
tua1 expenditure of the war may be
set down at $4,000, 900. The con-
tributions levied by the Prussian ar
mics during the campaign, for mill
tary services, amounted to S3,717,-
o95, and the war indemnities paid to
Prussia, in accordance with the
treaty Of peace, were S41, ,725, $50
so that the actual cost to Prussia of
breaking up the old German empire
and defeating Austria was less than
$50, 100000.
