A WAR BETWEEN THE CLASSICS
AND SCIENCE,

The old system is passing away, and
with it are swept many old customs and
beliefs. In former times for q youth to
pass through college without taking a
classical course was an absurdity not to
be dreamed of. To-day, in many uni
yersities, such as that of London and
several in our own country, a scientific
course is taking the place of classics
Oxford and Cambridge, with the old
prestige of learning about them, still
battle for Greek. Their laurels have
been won in those ancient fields and
they are not ready OF willing to turn to
pastures new. .
But here, with a very small class of
men of leisure, and u very large class of
men of action, the useful ~sciences-any
thing which will simplifylabor and teach
men to take it up Understandings, is of
ten times more value than the tropes or
rhetoric of the dead languages. The
machines which tighten the tolls of men
the railroad veins and arteries which
send the rich blood of m into
every corner of the country are Il theus-
and times more valuable to the prosper
ityr of a nation than classic scholarships,
It is not the dead and gone-peoples ot
the Scamander-who will assist the pur,
poses Of the present Age butt the active
helpful, searching man of modern sci.
ence. The machinist, the c~ivil-engin'
seer, the telegraphist, the printer and al
the crafts, which build up a nation ar
morein demand Just now than the Greel
scholarship about which such a war o
words is going on,
We r quite illingt to concede beaut
and a certain utility to the classics. L
a certain class of men they are indis
pensable. But we contend that in a na
ton like ours, more benefit will accru
to it from well trained scientists, tina
from q thorough understanding of a
the minute conflicts Of Athenian polity
Marathon, Salamis and Artemesiun
were all very good battles in their day
but we have had conflicts in our oW
time which make them show like a rusl
light beside a lightning fash.
Let the legends of Greek poetry an
the heroic characters of Greek histol
fill due place in an ornamental depar
ment Of learning; but give our you
the stronger and more nourishing fot
of an education which will enable the
to make their living in China or Siber
if they found themselves there.

An evening contemporary has OBJ
served on the streets several per-
sons wearing q red and blue rib
bon in the buttOnhole as token of SYM
pathy for the Cuban cause,n and ex-
presses the belief that many will adopt
the colors now that popular feeling is
SO high.
Twelve years ago our contemporary
might have observed sever.:l other per-
sons wearing blue rosettes and home
spun. He might have seen tall beaver
hats covered with cerulean emblems
OF inextinguishable patriotism, pal
meto leaves twisted into every i'm
aginable shape, and during the four
years of the struggle could have wit
messed nearly every evidence of a burn
ing thirst for liberty, except the pres
ence of these enthusiastic disciples of
William Tell in the army of the cause
they espoused. From present indiea-
tons, our army and our navy are about
to undertake some rather active and not
altogether unimpOrtant duty. They
| will probably leave our shores with the
hearty good wishes of every man, WO-
man and child in the country, from
Penobscot Bay to Rio Grande, but fol
Heavens sake, let us have no mawkisl
sentimentality. The Cuban question
cannot be5settied with q red and blue
ribbon any more than was our late I'M
1 pleasantness with O blue rOsette
Many In tbs community with doubtless
the best Intentions, are entirely toe
much addicted to idle display. The,
forget that exhibitions such as these art
regarded by the shrewd common sense
f Of the nineteenth century as Duerile, tt
say the least. Sentimentalistn ant
bombast has insiduOusly crept int
every important movement, and to thi
alone are WeindebteQ for much of tina
contemDtu0us indifference with which
the South for years has been treated
Surely time has now come when weak
ness such as this should be thrown oil
Our own ~self-respecb should pfolap

bOyish OstentatiOn. 1t is not gouLendes
that any important complication cal
result in the wearing of Il ribbon, o
that it can produce any effect, good, bad
or indifferent. Its more an indication
Of q spirit OF Eapia enthusiasm far to
, prevalent II this community. As

THE QUARANTINR.-On the first APP
pearanee OF the yellow fever in ShTBVe-
port, our town was strictly qlarantined
against that city: AS the fever extended
in this direction, the Gordon sanjtaire
was more closely drawn, and for over
q month a very strict quarantine was
kept up against every part Of tue State,
except the little strin of hill country
lying southwest of Natehitoches.
Not O single case of yellow fever ,oc-
curredi1 town, nor any disease resem-.
bling it. The nearest fully admitted
cases were at Grapes Bluff, about is
miles aboye-but several deaths oc-
Cured on the Bondieu, not more than
six or eight miles east of town, which
the attending physician, DR.. Harrison,
asserts positively were from yellow
fever. AT any rate, the town of Natchi-
t0clles escaped tile scourge !; and, from
the evidence of it's contagious character
as developed during the late epidemic,
our people are satisfied that they owe
their preservation to the quarantine
which wat SO early established and
most vigorously enforeed.-CNatehito-

IN poverty for two can live cheaper
than 0ne,if they live with discretion, il
they live with cooperative zeal, III they
live as they ought to live. IF the young
man. Is willing to seem poor when he is
poor III the young woman, being poor,
is willing to live poorly ; if they arewil-
ling to plant their lives together like two
seeds, and wait for their growth, and
look for their abundance by and BY,
when they have fairly earned it; then it
is a good thingfor them to come early
into this partnership. For characters
adapt themselves to each other i'm the
early periods of life far more easily than
they do afterWard. They who marry
early are like vines growing together,
and round and round each other /:
whereas, multitudes of those who marry
latein life stand side by side like two
iron columns, which, being separated at
the beginning, never come any nearer
to each other. THERE'S nOselool which

opened, which young people can SO i'll
afford to avoid as the school of care aud
responsibility and labor in the house
hold and a young maa and young
woman marrying, no matter from what
source they came together, no matter
how high their fathers have stood, one
of the most wholesome things that they
can do, having married for love, and
with discretion, is TO be willing to be-
gin at the bottom, and bear the burdens
of household life, SO that they shall have

THE STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Parish of ST. Landry.

To the Hon. Board Of Police:
We the undersigned citizens of the above
named parish do ask you to grant Il change OF
lousas. We want to change this road where it
crosses Cocodric n Mr.. John +. Carols and let
it cross ut Mr.. Pearce's, as there is no bridge
across CocOdrie at Mr.. j. +. Carols, but there
is Il good bridge across it at Mr.. PearCe's and
all the branches and bayoua have good
bridges across them, and it will shorten the
distance one mile, if no more. and is equally as
handy to any traveller and also to the citizens
thereof.
