Louisiana.

The long continued disturbances
in Louisiana have resulted in the is
saance of Proclamation by Presl-
dent Grant, in which he commands
the disorderly persons TO disperse
and retire to their homes within
twenty days and he further orders
them to submit to the laws and con-
stituted authorities Of that State
In view Of the shameful butchery OF q
large number OF negroes few weeks
since ct Coliax IN Grant parish, and
the unnumbered deeds Of violence
committed by the outlaws, it cannot
be charged to the President that he
has been hasty; neither can he be
said to have shown any inclination to
declare martial law and thereby be
charged with usurpation. The con-
fusion, disor der and general anarchy
that hive gained such foot-hold in
Louisiana are due to the dispute as
TO who were elected at the last gen.
eral election; and the dispute with
all its consequences are directly
ohargeable to Ex-Governor Warm.

The Financial Problem.

The varied and almost infinite the.
cries Of rendering aid to the business
world IN this time of financial and
commercial distress, bid fair TO result
in nothing more than theories"
either because Of the impracticability
of the plans proposed, or the indispo
sition to adopt the numerous RENE
dies. Among the numerous schemes,
none is more generally adopted than
that OF tayering resistance Of the
currency Withdrawn from circulation
some months ago. Such a policy
would, we believe, but add fuel to
the flame, because it would immedi.
ately unsettle values, advance the
gold premium, thereby placing us
further from resumption, and no one
specially benefited by such an act.
1t is not improbable that the re.issu.
ance Of the tor,y.iour millions OF cur
rency, or a portion thereof, would
render apparent temporary relief;
but a permanent and true remedy
must be sought by moro natural
course of procedure. The prosper.
ity enjoyed by oil classes for the last
decade, barring tho last two years,
must be regarded as having been in
large degree only apparent. This
will appear when We remember that
the prices Of al! commodities, whether
products of the farm, foundry, or
loom were likewise enhanced, and
that the appreciation in value was
commensurate with the depreciation
of the currency dollar, tho law OF
supply and demand OF course opera.

that nation cannot leglslate wealth
into existence, any more than an in.

and the imitation Of currency is a,ten.

affairs that should always be olivia

There are some things that, could
they be effected, would be of mate

these is cheaper transportation from
the west to the seaboard markets.
Such q reduction would secure to
the farmer higher scale of prices
for all Kinds Of produce, and business
would revive according to the sue.
cess OF agriculture, which is the basis
OF all prosperity.
This is one Of the things to be

be left undone, that would bring

it would he we'll to forget, Or at
least abandon, some of the extraya.

Spirit Forms.

A special reporter of the London
Daily Telegraph has furnished that pa
per with an account of some manifesto
tiOns by certain mediums which they
are pleased to term esprit FORMS "
The reporter of the Telegraph relates
the following incident 1--WE arranged
curtains which separated the small
back drawing room from the large front
one, joined hands, sang until we were
hOarse as crows, and kept our eyes
steadily fixed on an aperture left be-
tween the curtains for the faces to show
themselves. The room was in blank
darkness, and, feeling rather tired of
the incarnation, 1 looked over my
shoulder into the gloom, and, 10! a
shadowy form stood self-illuminated
not far from me. At last had seen it,
a good orthodox ghost in white, and
visible in the darkness. It was the
form of the redOubtable John King
himself, who was, I believe, a bold
buccaneer in the flesh. but who looked
more like an Arab sheikh in the spirit
He sailed about the room, talked to us,
and finally disappeared. Eventually he
reappeared behind the curtains, and for
brief space the portiere was drawn
aside, and the spirit form was seen
lightning up the recumbent figure of
the medium, who was stretched on a
sofa, apparently in deep trance. 1t
must be borne in mind that We were
forming a Gordon round the passage
from one room to the other during the
whole of this time"
He continues: "I vas invited few
weeks ago to a very select seance, in
deed, where the same medium was to
of1iciate. This family, who spared no
expense in their Investigations, had ac-
tually got a large, handsome cabinet
standing in their dinning-room as a
recognized piece of furniture. It wss
only used, however, on this occasion,
for the imprisonment of the medium.
The evolutions of John King, who soon
appeared, all took place outside the
cabinet door. He was only materiali-
zed' to the middle and, to our utter
amazement, came up to the table, and
apparently through the table, into the
very middle of the circle, where he dis
ported himself in various ways, keeping
mp an animated conversation the whole
time, and frequently throwing himself
into the attitude of a person swimming
on his back. He also went upwards as

NARROw-GAUGE RAILwAYs.-The diff
ference between the cost OF narrow
gauge railroads and ordinary four feet
eight and half inch gauge is rather
more than most people imagine, that is,
If we are to take the word of writer in
the Financier. There are now fifteen
narrow-gauge railroads in operation in
the United States, having 700 miles Of
track, and there are no less than twenty
organizations and /, $50 miles under pro-
cess of construction. The roads have
been planned and constructed in The

ing equipment Of rolling stock, while the

The LIABILITY OF EDITORS TO THEIR
FRIENDS. is the liability of an
editor to his personal friends Strictly
speaking, he should have none; should
attack his own father if he disapproves
his speeches, or lash his wife's last book
If iie thinks it rubbish. This is, no
doubt, abstractly true, as it is also alb
stractly true, to steal an epigram from
an Australian who once wrote PAM
phlet on the subject, that an editor
should live in q cellar, but in practice
men will not comply with either condi.
ton, and such demands would drive all
the men with hearts and tempers out of
the profession. It is, nevertheless, ex-
cessively difficult to find rule that shall
be morally sufficient, for silence. though
it will meet the case of book, unless of
the first importance, will'not meet that
of grave political action. We suspect
that in this case the practice of parlia-
ment is still the best guide, and thatthe
Journalist is bound, as the statesman
would be bound, to do his duty and take
the consequences. He might be a little
more gentle in his language, little
more apoIogetic in his tone, bnt the at
tack must not be deprived of its eff
cheney for any personal consideration
whatsoever.-LondOn Spectator.

-Apropos of the present discussion of
Cesarism" is the following definition
of the original Julius: "Julius Cesar
An ancient Roman of celebrity. He
advertised to the effect that he had
rather be first at Rome than second at
small village. He was q man OF great
muscular strength. Upon one occasion
he threw a whole army across the Rubl-
con. A general named Pompey met
him in what was called the tented field.
bat Pompey couldn't hold a Roman
candls to julius. We are assured, upon
the authority of Patrick Henry. that
Cesar had his Brutus.' The unbiased
reader of history, however, will con
clude that, on the contrary, Brutus
rather had Cesar. This Brutus never
struck me AS being an unpleasant man
to meet, but he did Cesar. After ad-
dressing few oral remarks to Brutus in
Latin language. Cesar expired. His
subsequent career is without interest.
Cesar was bald, which Grant is not,
and wore larural fly brush to conceal
the billiard ball which he called head.

|" London this season as yet resembles

but that IL an attribute of the land of

tiers are 'out' can dispense. Is it not

Now thst the lately arranged builders
strike has set us all talking about the
laws of demand and supply, it seems an
appropriate time for them TO review the
canses that initiate against their dis
posing advantageously of their stock.
They should learn lesson from seller
of fruits, who will dispose at any sacri-
foe of what at the end of the day
threatens to remain unsold, rather than
fun the risk of It's turning bad aAd

member that the markets are governed
by two considerations; first, BY the
number of people who want a thing !;
secondly, by the amount thereof there is

What They are Going to Lecture
About.
lFron the Springfield Republican.l


The strongest card of the lecture
bureaus, this season, is the delegation
of English speakers. Best known of
these is Wilkie Collins, the novelist,
who sails from Liverpool next week,
and proposes to read several of his
short stofisa. Charles Bradlaugh, the
republican leader, will lecture upon the
house of Brunswick, the republican
movement in Europe, the republican
movement in England and views of the
Irish question. Rev. Newman Hall has
not vet announced his subject, but
Hepworth Dixon has, the list being
state founders of America, the old
country, emancipated Russia, the DAN
ish republic, and the new Germany,
Gerald Massey, the poet, will give specl-
mems of his own verse, and also lecture
about Charles Lamb, TennysOn and his
poetry, and concering spiritualism, in
which he believes. OF American lectu-
rers we are to have nearly all the old
stand-bys, with good crop of new ones.
Senator Sumner hopes to appear on
the platform before the close Of the an
tumn, and is preparing for that purpose
q lecture ON the unificatiOn Of the re-
public. Boutwell,, too, will join the
throng, his subject being the treasury
department and the civil service system.
Bret Harte is going to have new lee
ture. but hasn't told people yet what it
is about; Nasby will talk about "bricks
without straw" while Adirondack Muir
ray's theme will be "civilized heathen. |"
Tom Mast has already 100 engagements
to draw in public on the stage. George
William Curtis, who is regaining his
health at Ashfield, has sufficiently re-
covered to announce his intention OF
lecturing the coming season. James
Parton takes "our scandalous politics"
for his theme James T. Fields has half
a dozen subjects, and Edward Everett
Hale has prepared q christmas story
which he will read. Mrs. Livermore
talks about the battle of money, Miss
Mary E. Eastman on "Not q public
way-dangerous," and Abby Sage Rich
ardson on "Sir Walter Raleigh and his
American voyage" Mrs. Stowe will
read aoa ain, this season, but chiefly at
the west, where she is more popular IN
that role than here about. A uniqu'
feature of theseasOn will be the appear
anoe upon the platform OF a full
Hooded Indian, Col. E. G. BOudinot, Q
prominent man in the politics OF the
fndion territory, who will give his ideas
on the Indian question.

An Ecclesiastical Difficulty.

In the Church of England the High
Church party, or Ritualists. as they are
called, are also doing their best to bring
matters TO crisis. A furious agitation
is now raging Oh the subject of BAL
dacchino in one of the London churches.
A baldacchino is simply a canopy,
which may be more or less gorgeous,
over the altar, and is intended to en-
hance the dignity aud honors of that part
Of the fittings Of the church. An
application for leave to put up this
canopy has been made to The bishop of
London. The bishop has gravely re-
ferred the question to his learned asses
sor the assessor has had Q solemn sit
ting to hear the question argued, and
there ~ill, no ,dOubt, be long, intri-
cate. and highly edfying inquiry.
There can, of .eourse, be no doubt as to
the grounds on which the Ritualists de-
size % decofate their churches in this
manner. Il will carry them nearer to

that bGkdacchinO are not illegal, and all

country will then insist upon having

there is pretty sure TO be fisticuffs.
Even Is it is the choir-boys at some Of

IN any English church. II will there

its introduction is sure to be bitterly

PATIENCE.
BY PHEBE CARY.


Why are We impatient of delay,
Longing forever for the time to be?
For thus We live tomorrow in lay,
Yea, sod tomorrow we may never see.
We are too hasty; are not reconciled
To let kind nature do her work alone;
We plant our seed, aud like . foolish child
We dig 1t up to see il il has grown.
The good that il to be we covef now,
We cannot wait for the appointed hour;
Before the fruit is ripe, We shake the bouRh,
And seize the bud that folds away the flower.
When midnight darkness reigns We do not see
That the sad night is mother Of the morn;
We cannot think our own sharp agony
May be the birth-psng Of JOY unborn.
Into the dust We see our idols cast,
And cry that death has triumphed, hfe Is void
We do not trust the promise, that the last
O all our enemies shall be destroyed!
With rest almost in sight the spirit faints,
And heart and flesh grow weary at the last;
Our feet would walk the city Of the saints,
Even before the silent gate If passed.
Teach us to wait until thou shalt appear
To know that sll thy ways and times are just /;
Thou seest that We do believe, and fear,
Lord, make us sleo TO believe and trust!
