The Last pitchers of New

The Last pitchers OF New
Orleans are a queer set Of fell
lows. Their dodge of passive
resistance" is rich. 1t means
no resistance at all, and the
people in the country so under
stand it. Gentlemen, your city
government, when it refused
the Fusion Legislature the City
Hall, meant "passive resis-
lance" US! The country
is a little wary Of all your
sound and fury. Scorched ju-
veniles dread warm Places
Your imperial caucuses pass
only for what they are worth,

We would ask of the North
ern people whether it is fair to
send men to rule Louisiana and
reduce it to beggary at the
same time. The North has
prescribed US; has deprived us
of our political rights; has Civ
Ell power to the ignorant and
rendered the intelligent help
less; hasset a governor over us,
has adopted the harshest and
most discriminating legisla-
ton. This has all been done
and submitted to quietly; but
was it wise to place men in
Office that have stolen every
dollar they could lay theil
hands on2 Was itwise to hold
these men in Office with Fede,

Evidences Of National Decay.

Since the Radical party came
into power, many of the most
valued provisions Of our Con
stitution have been swept
away, the liberties of the peo-
pie have been assailed by I'M
lawful power, the writ of
habeas corpus has been repeat
edly suspended for partisan
expedients, citizens guilty Of
no offence have been imprison-
ed without due process of law,
and the right Of trial by jury
denied them. 1t strikes US
that those are rather conspicu-
Gus evidences Of national de
cay. When a Government be
/ gins to fail in its reverences
for the laws, and in its regard
for the liberties Of the people
the principal object for which
it was instituted has ceased tc
exist. In addition to all this
: as compared with those Of othel
| Governments, our taxes arr
| higher, while crime abounds
: official Declarations, specula
ton, fraud, embezzlement ant
general corruption prevail il
all our departments.
Power is slipping from TIL
grasp Of the people where on
established Institutions places
e it, and is being centralized i
$ the hands Of a few who use
o for the promotion Of persona
t ends. The rich are CROWN
: richer, and the poor poorer
S Capital is exalted and labo
e depressed. Glass legislatio
- favors the few and rules tn

ooLoMoN TEMPLE AND THE PYRAMIDS
IL we regard, says writer in the Edinburgh
hepte1, not so much the evidence of the labor
devoted TO the work of the Temple as the effect
produced on the mind by it apparent magnitude.
We may suggest the following comparisons -
The length Of the eastern wall of the Sanctuary
Is rather more than double that of one side ri
the great Pyramid. Its height, from the foun-
dation on the rock at the sorth. and near the
northern angles, was nearly the third of that OF
the Egyptian structure. If to this great height
OF one hundred aud fifty-t 10 feet Of solid wal
be added the descent of one hundred and four-
teen feet to the bed of the Kedron, and the fur
thcr elevation of one hundred and sixty feet At
tended by the pinnacle of tile Temple porch. we
have total height of four hundred and twenty
six feet which is only ifty-nine feet less than
that OF the great Pyramid. The area of the face
OF the eastern wall is more than double that of
one side of the Pyramid. Thus the magnitude
OF the noble Sanctuary of Jerusalem fai exceed
ed That ofany other temple in the world. Two
amptheatres of the size of the coliseum would
have stood within its colossal girde and lie /
rCop. to spare. The coliseum is said to have
seated eightyseven thousand spectators. and
accommodated twenty-five thousand more in
ITS arena and passages. For such a number 10
have been cramined within its circle, the space
Tor each person must have been limited TO ,y-
enteen by twenty inches. Allowing two cubits
each way, or four square cubts for each wor-
shlper in the temple, the sanctuary would have
contai ed thirty thousand; the Chei, excluding
the Priests Court, twenty thousand more, and
there would yet have been room in the great
court and the cloisters to make the total reach
more than two hundred and ten thousand.

TAXES ARE TOO HlGH.-So say many a
man who spends five dollars per week for intox-
icating liquors, or who putis over one hundred
dollars per year in the smoke of expensive ci-
gars
Another spends his time in bowling alleys
and billiard saloons, con6des his business to a
clerk and complains bitterly of his taxes. Alas,
young man, If your idleness taxes you much
more, you had better close the shop
Taxes are heavy, but we too often show our
willingness TO pay exorbitantly when levied
by our own passions.
Pride lays heavy taxes and grievous to be
borne.
Idleness taxes us heavy, and yet We heed it
not.
Luxuries eat at Our income, yet we iuiurr ii
with the Utmost patience. We even permit
them TO undermine our health, the heavies' ,Ix
of all.
This Causes call for the doctor, who taxes

ishment for failings.
