INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his mastery
and highly entertaining Intellectual Life, dis
courses thus on the power and uses Of the
press:
Newspapers are to the whole civilized
world what the daily house-talk is to the men,
bers Of household they keep up our daily
interest in each Other, they save us from the
evils Of isolation. To live as a member Of
the great white race Of men, the race that has
filled Europe and America, and colonized or
conquered whatever other territories il has
been pleased TO occupy, TO share from day TO
day ITS cares, lis thoughts, its aspirations. il is
necessary that every man should read his daily
newspaper.
Why are-thc French peasants so bewilder-
ed and at sea, so out of place ia the modern
world! 1t is because they never read a news
paper. And why are the inhabitants of the
United States, though scattered over terrific.
ny fourteen times the area of France, so much
more capable of concerted political action, so
much more Gttre and modern, so much more
interested in new discoveries of all kinds and
capable OF selecting and utilizing the best of
them Ii is because the newspaper pene-
iraies everywhere and even the lonely dwell
er on the prairie or in the forest is not intel.
iectualiy Isolated from the great currents of
public life which flow through the telegraph
aud the press"

SMALL FARMS IN LOUISIANA.

Abiding 10 the unfit alton resolution in
reference to small farms, the ST. Charles Her
aid says:
When our large landed proprietors will be
willing to divide their plantations into small

race Of life, Louisiana wi have more taxable
properly, the heavy burdens now imposed to
meet the demands Of the government will be
lropor,ionally reduced, capital will come
among us, new life and energy be infused in
or population, ana happy change from pow
crty to prosperity will manifest itself We
ere glad To see that the new party, intended TO
"auiiy our people, has spoken out on this
question, and we trust ihss planters and capt.
';!ists will in good faith carry out the princi-
pie Of allowing every person who is able and
willing to own and cultivate a small farm of
has own TO do so.
The prsnciple has been practically carried
into effect in our locality for the past year and
half The plantation on which our village
j ioca C | was divided into small lots by ex-
Gov. Hahn, in the winter of ls7I-72, and
many lots were sold on small cash payment
aud long credit for the balance ofthe purchase

have noticed here hat as soon as colored peo-
pie acquire Seal-estate, no matter how insig-
nj icai in size or value, fix up their slianty,
erect chicken house, plant a few trees, etc,
they become different people-ihey feel more
honestly interested in public affairs, study the
question of State and parish taxation, talk
against unfaithful officers, and show an honor

We learn from good authority, that all the
100000 bonds, that have been an obstacle to
the transfer of N. l.. & r. r. R., except fou,
have been taken up. That the only thing
now seems to be the money, which our inlor
mant thinks Tom Scott will arrange soon. ],
Is to be hoped this arrangement will be con.
'hnma'ed, as it is of vital importance to North
Louisiana. that some company get the road
who have the capital and the energy to cary
1t through TO Shreveport without delay.
Roads are being built everywhere else, why
should no, n. l.. have road from the Fsiher
Of waters to Shreveport, connecting with
the different roads through Texas.
Louisiana is one of the most productive and
yet one of the mos, backward of States in the
United States in the public improvements.

THE BIGGEST OF ALL THE JOBS.

THE NORTH LOUISIANA RAILROAD SPECULATION.
The job successfully manipulated by
Chief Justice Ludeling and would-be United
States Senator John Ray, is one OF the most
brilliant Of the fea,s yet performed by the
ring of Official jobbers and spectators, who
are so rapidly absorbing the life-5lood Of this
State.
/, is stated that they are to receive 81 POO,
000j money and bonds from Colonel Tom
Scott for a road which cost them $4,000
Nor have they expended a dollar of their own
money on this road since they bought it, which
was in 1866. On the contrary, Whilst the
State bonds have furnished them the meaus
Of repairing and cquipping the road, they
hayc received several hundred thousand dol
lars OF the earnings OF the road, mere poke,
money.
Bat when they bought the rad for Sc, 900,
dollars the old b~ndhodcrs had bid some 500.
600 dollars for it; but their bid, from some
technically, was not received. and whea
the sc parties found themselves iricked out Of
their purchase and their mortgage, they insti
tuc a suit on the chancery side Of the United
States Circuit Court to set aside the sale to
Ludeling, Ray ana others, on the ground of
fraud. bad faith. and other i'll practices ON the
ing. and when il became important to Colonel
Scott, in carrying out his Texas aud faciiic
railroad scheme, that lie should own the
North Louisiana, he found this flaw in the IL
tie and burden ON the property Il serious OBJ
stacle.
1t was necessary to quiet the ;ltlc, and Lu
,leling, Ray & Co. set 10 work TO buy of these
claimants. But il would never do to buy them
with their own means, or to submit to re
duc,ion of the price to be paid by Col Scott in
favor of these old bondholders. Ii was more
Jus, and patriotic to get the State to plank mp
in bonds an amount sufficient to pay OIL and
satisfy these claiments, and give hay, Lndel-
ing 4 Co. a fair and free swoop at the whole
amount to be paid by Col. Scott. kellogg cheer
fully aided them in this liberal design 10y IS
suing $4,000 dollars bonds of the State to the
company, being advised as to the legality OF
such issue by VIM H. Hunt, Esq. counsel for
Ray, Ludeling and others, in the suit brought
agains, them by the old bondholders
With these bonds, il has been very easy to
complete the compromise, which conveys
clear title in the North Louisiana Railroad to
FOL. Tom Scott, and A MILLION AND QuAS-
LrrR OF DOLLARS into the pockets OF hay, Luz
ydeling & Co. A pretty profit on the original
.hyes,ment of $1,000 dollars. Those who M
k;ne that this State has been exhausted-de-
6dcated by the five or six last years OF plum
land confscation-will perceive IN tins

Louisville. Ky.

LOUISVILLE, August 1.-The Courier Jour-
nal says ediiorialy of the new State move
ment: The Convention a Jackson, Tenn,
looking towards the formation of a new State,
out of portions of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Mississippi, has taken definite action on that
subject. We do not believe, however, that
the movement has any considerable vitality
in Western Kentucky. The question has been
agitated to some extent, but it does not ap-
pear to have proceeded from any real neces-
si,y fel, or expressed on the part Of the PEG
pie.
In Western Tennessee, we are informed
tina, Il is not recognized in the least as part of
a popular movement nor, do tire people of
North Mississippi appear to be greatly exer-
cised over it. Doubtless, the gentlemen
prominent in the convention at Jackson are
not wholly absolved from certain ambitious
hopes, which the formation of the proposed
State is looked to crafty. 1t is hardly prob
able that, for some years al least those hopes
will be crowned by the issue.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT IN THE Corroy
TRADE.-There is a report current in England
oil an important development in the cotton
trade which is about to be initiated by the
khedive OfEgypt. Arrangements have been
made with firm at Alexandra for the man :
uiacturc Of machinery TO prepare cotton for
transportation from the region of the Soudan
to Lower Egypt. The main difficulty will
be the transportation of the machinery with
the tools necessary for its erection, as this will
have TO be effected by means of camels. An
other Inconvenience in connection with this
movement will be foundin the fact that no
parcel will be allowed to exceed 400 pounds
in weight. The determination of the Khed-
i've to make Use of this valuable staple is prob
ably one the fruits of the recent expeditions

Tbs practice Of profanc swearing is one OF
.nmingled evil. II is an insult offered by a
finite and fallible creature to the infinite and
Holy b ing who created him. 1t destroys all
respect for sacred things, lowers the standard
iy, brutalizes the character and conduct, in.
Jares the reputation, and is, in short, opposed
10 all the best interests of society 1t is
crime equally without reason and without cx.
curse. Ii neither raises a mans character for
scracity, intellect taste, or courage. In every
light in which it can be viewed, it appears a
melancholy dereliction from religion, vir,nc,
and dccency-equalyu improbable, shameful
aud wicked
