Nearly all the letter writers note the
fact that there are but few visitors at Sara

summer resorts. We have not heard any
attempted explanation Of this phenome-
non, which is decidedly disgusting and
disheartering to landlords. Perhaps
there are too many reasons-that is, they
are 'too numerous to mention The re-
markably cool weather in the South could
be urged as reason for some Of the fall

observation serve rs, there are, notwith-
standing the favorable weather, about as

Europe attracted by the novelties Of the
Vienna exposition and the vices Of Paris.

milk plenty, shade and spring water in
abundance, and where one suit of clothes,

crowded watering place, where milliners
blocks abound, and the daily panorama Of
human appearance is decidedly kala:des-

TIE RUSSIANS AVOID LOUISIANA.

Now it appears tha: even the Russians
avoid Louisiana and adopt Kansas as a
home. This is great disappointment to
our land sellers. Louisiana has been SO
efectually represented by the Fusion
press as the home Of despotism, it might
have been hoped the Russians would have
found in our State q government per-
fectly congenial to that they left behind.
They give US wide berth, however. and

exile and tie knout are unknown. Thus
fade our chances. The Picayune and its
congeners have succeeded in frightening
away these immigrants accustomed TO
peace and order, and now the very ex-

an OLD DIFFICULTY.

AsligLt misunderstanding between the
superintendent Of the Louisiana State
University and the managers Of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum a: Baton Rouge threat
ened for short time to mar the harmony
that should exist fd the benefit Of both
institutions-at leas: so long as the two
were compelled to occupy the same build
ing and grounds. The apprehension that
harmony could not be restored by the ac-
ton of the managers of these institutions
led Superintendent Boyd, Of the State
University, to telegraph to Governor Kel-
logg, asking him to iirect the asylum au-
thorities to do nothing further regarding
their relations with he university until
meeting of the board Of supervisors could
be convened. He asked the Governor to
do this at once, Sin order to prevent fur
ther collision and trouble
The Governor also received dispatch
from General W. 7. Sherman. stating
that he had just heard that difficulties
between the Deaf and Dumb Asylum and
the Louisiana State University were likely
to displace the latter institution, and ask
ing "the interposition Of his sympathy
and utmost favor to protect the interest Of
the university an institution he regards
as capable Of great good to the State.
Since the receipt 0: these two dispatches,
H. Horton. Mayor Of Baton Rouge. and
H. Newell, Esq. have called at the Gov
erho1's Office, and given assurances that
matters have been anicably settled, and
that further misunderstanding between
the two institutions is not likely to occur.
