of the members of the Jury that the
Collector may be deviating from his
sworn duty, an insinuation which that
official most positively and indignant
~ spurns as wholly unwarranted and
unjust. If the suspicion referred to
does exist, let an immediate search
ing investigation be made into the
books and accounts of the Collector
and the warrants held by him or
turned into the hands of the Treasu-
rer; fit does not exist, the Jury can
surely occupy its valuable time to bet
ter advantage than by repeatedly
promulgating rigoroas and well de-
fined requirement of law.

THE AGONY OVER,
The Police Jury Right at Last-Parish
Scrip Again Receivable for Taxes.

The Police Jury Right at Last-Parish
Scrip Again Receivable for Taxes.
Considerable interest was centred
in the deliberations of the Police Jury
at its session of to-day, and quite
number of persons interested in the
disposition of the consolidated bond
matter assembled at the Court House
to await the final action which it was
generally understood would be taken
in the premises. This expectation
was, we are pleased to say, realized.
The question was preached by the
introduction of preamble and reso-
luton by Mr.. Reynaud, setting forth
that whereas the holders of the con-
solidated bonds, represented by r. N.
Sims, Esq. as agent, have agreed to
remit the interest on said bonds from
March, 1862, to April, 1866, resolved
that the said bonds be recognized as
valid, and the certificates of indebt-
edness issued therefor be indorsed by
the Treasurer receivable in payment
of taxes, licenses or other dues. One
member of the Jury opposed this res
olution on frivolous and ridiculous
grounds, but majority were decided
ly in favor of it, and it was adopted.
We congratulate the members of
the Police Jury upon their solution
of this vexed problem, and assure
them the people will approve the ac-
ton that has been taken.
All regularly approved outstanding
certificates of Indebtedness are now
receivable for taxes, excepting those
repudiated by the Police Jury some
six weeks since, list of which was
published in the official journal of
October 4th and in the CHIEF of 0c-
tober 18th. In view of this fact, tax
payers are expected to come forward
promptly and settle both current and
delinquent parish taxes, thus relieving
the Tax Collector of the disagreeable
duty of enforcing the payment of the
same by legal process.

ART IN OUR ScHooLs.-We call the atten-
ton of the Boards of Education, School Di-
rectors, Trustees and Teachers throughout
the land to the reportof the proceedings and
the remarks of DR.. Fl. d. Ranney, upon the
occasion of the presentation of beautiful
Photographic picture of the Presidents of
the United States to Grammar school No.
26 of this city, by the publishers, Mcssrs. l..
A. Finley e. Co. The introduction of we'll
conceived and appropriate pictures, engrav-
ings and paintings, in our schools, is a good
idea, and carries with it many strong and
conclusive arguments in its favor. Art in
this shape makes impressions upon the youth
full mind that time can not efface. The pic
ture in question is eminently appropriate for
such a purpose, and we trust no parsimoni.
GUS policy will deter the introduction of this
work of art and instruction in our schools
generally.-Ner Fork School Journal.

To the President and members of the Par
ish School Board of Ascension:
Your committee which was appointed at

report in regard to the employment of assis-
tant teachers, beg leave to report as follows:
visited the Hopeful Baptist Church School
situated ON the old Marchand place, of which
Z. Bryant is teacher, on the 10th inst. and
found 81 children in actual attendance, the
total attendance being 81. On the 18th inst.
visited the Linwood School and was panied
to learn that there had been no school in
that place for week. saw Mr.. jackson
Starks aud he informed me that Mr.. Rich
arslson had told him that he was going TO

recommend that he be suspended forthwith,
and another teacher procured In his stead.
| visited the two schools in the Seventh Ward
ON the 18th inst; in the one situated at Rev.
c. j. Burnett's place, known as the African
Hall School, found I6 pupils in attendance;
in the other situated at the Widow Burnett's

pupils enrolled. Mrs. Burnett informed me

them at home to pick cotton. | will not

Resolutions were adopted by the
Police Jqry to-day requiring the
Parish Treasurer and Tax Collector
to keep a.separate account of all cur
rent and delinquent parish taxes col
lected upon town property, as the
Parish Attorney is to be paid COM
mission of FIVE per cent. of the amount
for his services in the case of Maurin
and and others against Smith, suit to
arrest the collection of parish tax on
property situated within the corpora
ton limits of Donaldsonville. The
resolutions also repeat the require
ment already demanded of the Tux
Colleetorby rigorous enactments, that
he shall take oath that the parish
warrants turned into the treasury by
him are Che identical ones received
from tax payers, that he has not spec
ulated I'M the same in any way, but
has received each warrant at its face
value. We would offer the sugges-
ton to the Police Jury that the pres
ent Collector comprehends perfectly
bis duty in this regard, and is endeav-
oring a strict performance thereof,
both as matter of official and perso-
nal pride and conscientiousness, and
there exists no possible necessity for
the passage Of new resolution per-
tanning to the matter at every other
session of their august body. The
repeated reference to the subject APP
pears to infer a suspicion on the part

of sugar is falling short of what was
anticipated earlier in the season, and
many of the planters have been con-
siderably disappointed in the amount
of sugar their cane is producing, yet
the majority are realizing well, and if
the market was good would do better
than they have done any year since
the war. During the prevalence of
the present. low prices, the motto of
every planter should be, "Hold ON to

The Mystery of Perfume.

No one has yet been able to analyze
or demonstrate the essential action Of
perfume. Gas can be weighed, but not
scents the smallest known creatures,
the very mOnads of life, can be caught
by a microscopic lens and made to de-
liver up the secrets Of their organiza-
ton but what il is that emRnates from
the pouch of the musk-deer, that fills
whole space for years and years with its
penetrating odor, an odor which an
iIlimitable number OF extraneous sub
stances can carry on without diminish
ing it in size and weight, and what it Is
that the warm summer air brings to us
from the flowers, no man yet has been
able to determine. So fine, 20 subtle,
so imponderabIe, It has eluded both our
most delicate weights and measures and
our strongest lenses. If we could come
to the essence of each odor, we should
have made an enormous stride forward,
both in hygiene and in chemistry and
none would profit more than the medi-
cal profession if It couid be as conclu-
sively demonstrated that such an Odor
proceeded from such and such cause,
as we already know of sulphur, sulphu-
rated hydrogen, ammonia, and the like.
AS it is, no one knows anything and if
the art of the Derfumers forms one of
the chief delights of our civilized
senses, the cause by which he worIzs is
8 mystery solved by none.
