In a recent political meeting
in Shreveport, the South-Wes-
tern says that Mr.. Land re-
marked in his speech that
"Caddo generally gave tone
and character to the other par
ishes; that they looked to the
wisdom of her counsels for
guidance and encouragement"
This is rather "steep" in the
face of the fact that Caddo is
now reluctantly bringing up
the rear guard of the Liberal
movement, which has swept
over the State in spite of its
protests. Caddo stuck it's head
in the sand, and thought the
storm would abate because it
refused to recognize that the
wind was blowing-butit it blew
nevertheless; and now that par
ish suddenly wakes up and
claims that it was a storm of
its own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Shreveport Times doesn't
appreciate the patriotism ()
of the rrule or ruin" CLIQUE,
judging from the following.
The Times lately supported
the June ''Comedy of Errors :"
"These politicians, belong
ing to that school of political
and philosophical sentimen-
talists who are ever maintain
ing theories eternally true and
eternally impracticable, have
lost the confidence Of the people,
who prefer to accomplish re-
suits rather than contend for
glittering impossibilities.-
Whatever may be the judg-
ments of men as to the moral
ity of the doctrines laid down
by Machiavelliin the Prince
there are many profound OBJ
servations in that much mis-
understood work, applicable
to the unhappy condition of
this State, and among them we
remark the following: Those
who cannot change their sys-
tenn when occasion requires It,
will no doubt continue pros
porous as long as they glide
with the stream Of fortune;
but when that turns against
them they are ruined The
instinct of the people has at
length OWNED this truth, and
they have resolved to meet the
necessities of their sittiation
and to effect through the Aug.
ust convention an Organization
that will offer some prospect
of a successful resistance to
the party Of plumber and mis-
rule. \ y
"To our chiyalrous but inn
practicle friends who express
a determination to stand by d
ticket that has no vitality, we
extend an earnest and feeling
invitation to join us in the
great liberal movements which
is sweeping over the land, and
in whose strength lies our only
hope Of redemption from
Grantism and its hideQus pro-
geny of carpet -baggefy and
scallawagery in the South"
The action of the Democrat
ic Central Committee in fusing
with the Reformers and reject
ing the overtures of the Liber-
al party, or refusing to recog-
nize their power as a political
organization, is a most ridicu.
lous piece of affectation and
stupidity. While the Reform
ers cannot possibly control
more than 1000 or 5000 votesin
the State, the Liberal party is
much more numerous than this
limited State party" social

Farming u Dull Business.

Talking with very bright and ambitious
young woman, a farmers daughter, where
we stopped over night, she said farming
was dull sort of life. "Yes," said a
young man Of twenty-five years, "there is
no incentive to work it is all hum-drum,
routine, and hard work-no relaxation Of
effort, and nothing to stimulate the mind. !"
'What nonsense" we replied. There
is everything for ast'mulus. Each farm is
a world in itself, about which those who
have lived upon it know little or nothing,
comparatively. Suppose, for example, we
were to ask you how many kinds OF grass
es--real grasses-grow on your farm
could you tell us, with their correct names,
habits and history? Suppose we ask you
how many species ofplants are Indigenous
on your farm, and the names of these plants,
time of Towering, color of flowers, soil and
locality in which they grow could you
tell us? Suppose we were to ask you how
many species Of bird svisit your farm every
year, the time of their arrival and departure,
their habits while with you, their names
and their habits while absent from your To-
cality the balance Of the year-could you
tell us? Suppose we ask you how many
species Of insects are to be found on your
farm--their names, history, habits, whether
injurious to you or not, upon what trees or
plants they live, when and how often they
appear, and how long they stay-could you
tell us? Suppose we ask you to show us
specimens of the grasses and other plants,
the birds, insects, &c. (which may be gather
ed within your boundry fences, could you
show them to us? And yet if you were to
undertake to acquire the knowledge that we
have suggested by these enquiries, you would
find your life too short; yet the knowledge
you would gain, the interest you would
soon take in it, and the knowledge ofyour
own impotency you would acquire would
prove to yoa that it is not the farm that ID
a dull place, but is you who are dull
