LOVERS DEVoTIoN.-Millie and Andy
are lovers true. But Mile gets drunk
and Andy too. Milly wasl calaboosed on
wednesday evening and loves prescienee
told Andy that his hearts idol was in trib-
ulation. He rushed to her rescue and
placed himself in pawn for her appearance.
Mile tenderly approaching his devotion,
desired TO remain with her fond Andy and
cheer his heroic suffering. This the cruel
police would not allow and Andy had to
nropitiate alone the sins Of his eharmer.
ANDY slept, but in his dreams Aillle how
cred over him, encouraging his slumbers
deep, and when the morning sun arose she
was standing by his iron window, grim
ming and winking loves deathless devotion.
Arm in arm they appeared before the Re

great love, made the tine light. When last
seen they were laying the worm Of fence

What the Republican Party
Owes to its Enemy.

The Cincinnati Commercial, explaining
why it prefers Noyes, Republican, to Alien,
Democrat, for Governor of Ohio, says: AS
a choice between evils we prefer the Re
publican to the Democratic party. 1t
would afford us much pleasure to see both
parties smashed, but while both are in the
field. we would look upon the success OF
the Democratic party as the greater evil.
We desire to see the Democratic party out
of the way, that the people may have a
fair chance at the Republican party.
Whether or not the Commercial is right IN
regarding the success of the Democratic
party as the greater evil, it is historical
fact that the voting masses of the country
have long been in the habit OF coming up
to maintain the ascendancy of the Republi-
can party whenever the alternative was the
ascendancy of the Democratic party. Nor
have they yet shown any symptoms OF a
decided tendency to get out OF this habit

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR Is DUE.

We had the pleasure this morning ofcon-
yersing with Mr.. j. NJ. ROhbock, a we'll
known and estimable citizen of New Or
leans, who was one of the first to volunteer
10 90 to Shreveport. when the pcstilence
was Mt IL height in that afflicted city, and
who has recently returned after sojOurn
there of three weeks.
Mr. Rohhock assures, us that the state
ment. made by Mr.. r. Z. Fisher, through
the columns of the Poayune, in regard TO
derelictiOn Of duty, on the part of the re-
naming citizens Of Shreveport. is not only
erroneous. bSitgrossly slanderous, and he
gives willing testimony to the heroism and
devotion of those citizens who refused TO
fly from the pestilence He says that they
devoted their whole time to the relief and
stccor of all those who suffered, without
regard to race or previous condition, and
made sacrifices-the contemplation of
Which is calculated to elevate ones opin-
ion of human nature.
Mr.. Rohbock speaks in the highest terms
of Mr.. Simmons, formerly of New Orleans,
the President of the Howard Association OF
Shreveport, who has been untiring in his
efforts to ameliorate the condition OF the
sick, and to secure for the dead decent and
christian burial. DIS Finney, Hurd and
Riley have greatly endeared themselves to
the people Of Shreveport by theiI uniag-
gIng zeal in the good cause, ana Dy their
self abnegation. They nave I'VE, o of st rser
and have done much 20 lessen the horrors
of tbe situation. Their action has been all
the more commendaBl., in that it has been
without promise or expectation of reward,
and they deserve, as they will unqeestlona-

Louisiana Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb.

BATON ROUGE, July 1873.
To the Police Juries, the Municipal Autkorities
and Friends Of the Deaf and Dumb in Loaisi-
ana:
The Trustees of the La. Institution for
the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, call
your attention to this unfortunate class.
and the provision made for them by the
State in this Institution. All the Deaf be-
tween the ages Of eight and twenty-five, OF
sound physical and mental constitutions,
will be admitted and provided with in
struction, board, lodging, medicine and
medical attendance at the expense of the
Institution; and all those in such INDECENT
circumstances as shall appear by ceftifi-
cate of any member of the police jury of
the parish, or mayor of the city, where they
reside, to render snch aid necessary. will
also be furnished with clothing and travel
ing expenses to the Institution. The In
stitutiOn also affords q mechanical depart
meut in which instruction is given in such
trades as may be best suited to render the
pupils self-sustaining citizens. The educa-
ton of the deaf is of peculiar Importance to
them and to the State; but from want OF
information, indulgence or other reasons on
the part of parents, less than half in the
State avail themselves of the privileges
afforded. This is all wrong; hence the
Trustees earnestly call the attention of all
proper authorities to the duty of seeing
that all the deaf in their respective parishes
or cities, are informed of the privileges pro-
vided, and that in cases of INDECENT circum.
stances, means be provided for conveying
snch to this Institution. Proper provision
will be made for both white and colored.
In case of any deaf known at this Insti.
tuition to be in your city or parish, the
names are appended to this letter. Should
you know or learn of others, their address
is earnestly desired.

pect very little more OF that kihd tnis
season.
There is no change to note IN quota
tions. The Grocer notices the tact That,
as the production of cheese has increased,
the production of butter has diminished.
AS the price of butter has gone up IN
consequence of the reduced supply, eX-
ports have fallen off, while the exports
of cheese have increased astonishlngly,
during the last ten years. During the
year ending Juue 80, 1868, we exported
So, 200, 900 pounds of butter; during the
wear ending June 30, 1869, we exported
only 1924, 332 pounds. During the last
three years, our exports of butter have
improved somewhat. For each OF the
wears 1871 and 1872, we exported nearly
| 4, 600, 600 pounds, and during the year
ending June 80, 1873, we exported =
TAG, POI pounds. The Grocer says: TASK
any wholesale butter merchant what
proportion of the butter he receives is OF
really fine quality, and he will tell you
about five per cent. Ask any grocer
what article in his stock is hardest to
find of fine quality and he will unhesi-
tatingly tell you butter. We believe
this is true. Is it not shocking that
there should be so little fine butter sent
to market, when fine butter is what is
wanted, and is so much moreproftable
How to improve the manufacture, ano
how to pack butter so that it will keep,
not only sweet, but fresh, are the prob
] lens to be solved.

Winter along the Northern Pacific
Railroad.

Mr.. w. Minor Roberts, chief engi-
neer of the Northern Pacific railroad.
in letter dated February 9th, 1878.
makes the following authentic state
ment:
On the finished line across Minnesota
from Duluth to Fargo, the road has
run all winter with remarkable regular
lty and freedom from snow difficulties
There has been less necessary DELAY on
the Northern Pacific railroad this win
ter than upon the roads east of it to
Chicago and New York Considerable
snow has fallen in casters Minnesota
this winter, but there has not been an
unusual amount in the western part of
the State and across Dakota. The occa-
sional snow fences opposite the excava-
ton have served their purpose very
well.
In common with the rest of the coun-
try and with Europe, Minneso ia, Wis
consin, Iowa, and the entire Northwest
have had an unusual winter season.
There have been some days of very Sc
we're weather, but it was quite as cold
about the same period in most of the
Eastern States.
In January, at Duluth, the therrnon-
eter ranged as follows during the middle
OF the day-Average IL dogs. above ze-
70; lowest on the 9th, when it was s
degs. below zero; the highest 90 dogs.
above zero on the Goth. Absolute lowest
early IN the morning of the 28th, 25 deg.

the 10Th, average 20 degrees above

ing of the I'd, II dogs. below.

reason to think himself well off in the
lottery of life, if he draws the prize OF
healthy stomach without mind, or
the prize of fine intellect with crazy
stomach. But of the two, weak mind
in Hurculean frame is better than a
giant mind in crazy constitution. A
pound of energy with an ounce of tai
ent, will achieve greater results than
pound of talent with an ounce of ener-
gy. The first requisite to success in
life is to be a good animal. In any OF
the learned professions, a vigorous con-
stitution is equal to at least fifty per
cent. brain. Wit, judgment, magma
ton, eloquence, all the qualities OF the
mind, attain thereby force and splen-
dor to which they could never approach
without it. But intellect in weak
body, is 'like gold in spent swim
merr's pocket" A mechanic may have
tools of the sharpest edge and highest
POLISH but what are these without a
vigorous arm and hand? Of what use is
it that your mind has become vast
granary of knowledge, if you have not
strength to turn the key-Merchants'
