ReIl Oh Cholera.

We are an unwilling convert to the theory
Of DR.. Bell, Of Louisville aud regard him as
the greatest man in America on the disease Of
cholera. The following eloquent words are
found in an article recently published in the
Courier-Joapci from his pen. The sentence
italicized presents a striking example Of teach
ing truth by paradox
"When fathers, mothers, brothers, sister,
husbands, and wive- bring this shocking event
home TO themselves, is il not time that the
falsehoods Of contagion should be secuted
from every reasoning intelIigence2 In this
city, during all the cholera endemics in the
past forty year, there never was any more hes
itation in performing the offices of humanity
to cholera patients than the mother shows in
ministering to her sick, infant, and no more
harm has ever come from these ministrations
in the onesscase than the other. There is not a
great medical center in the world in which
these truths are not taught. The uay fac, thot

GAS IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

Some of the citizens of New Orleans
evidently entertain amiable designs on
Dallas, Texas. Messrs. C. T. Howard,
vii liam Harper, ". Fl. Roberts, and
seve raj other public spirited gentlemen,
have projected a road from Bayou Goula,
on the Mississippi, to Dallas, a distance
of more than four hundred miles; and it
will be Just like them to finish the work
and have their cars running before the
other projected companies sell out and
divide up their stock.
And now we learn taat ohm Lockwood,
Lsq., another citizen, mas Just returned
from Dallas, where ne has made all the
needed arrangements for constructing ex-
tensive gas works. He has secured a
small square Of ground, taken estimates
for erecting the requisite buildings, and
will 60 ahead at once with the business.
Mr.. Lockwood's experience as one of the
leading directors of the Jefferson Gaslight
Company, Of this city, will be of value to
him, and secure to the people of Dallas as
complete system of gaslighting, includ-
ing supply, quality of gas, machinery,
mains, meters, ETC., as any city in the
United States can boast. 1t is something
of compliment to New Orleans that one
of its citizens is able to wrest from the
grasping and rather lively manufacturers
of St. Louis a little of the trade and the
favor Of leading Texas community.

A SENSIBLE EpuGATInN.

Although education embraces the broad
est range Of intelligence and is we'll calcu-
lated to enlarge human sense, yet men Of
ten fail in the wide pursuit of knowledge
to obtain what may reasonably be termed
a sensible education-such an education as
will not only give them intelligence, but
profit from employment and wholesome
pleasure. Education is not necessarily
confined, as some may suppose, to book
learning or what is learned in schools or
colleges. DR.. Webster, the great Ameri-
can defner Of the English language tells
Us that education means the drawing forth
aud cultivation of the human faculties,
especially among the young; and that it
includes the whole course of training NOR
al, intellectual and physical. 1t appears
from this that the physical which is the
material and mechanical, is Just as neces-
sary, or more so, than the training of the
intellect that in fact, no one can have q
really sensible education that does not
combine intellectual and physical train
ing. But our idea of sensible
education extends beyond this. We
believe that after receiving a COM
mon school education the youth
of our State should be educated to labor
to. labor at some useful and profitable oc-
cupation. Now, as farming in Louisiana
is, as general rule, the most profitable
occupation that can be followed, it would
be sensible to have as many of our youth
as possible educated to be farmers. There
is no mora certain way of securing health,
wealth and happiuess. than the way of the
industrious and careful Rrmer in this
State, where .land is rich, plentiful and
cheap. 1t is Che certain road to wealth
when properly followed. Yet, in the face
OF this fact, how many Of our youth are
permitted TO grow UP in our cities andd
towns educated to think farm hbor de-
grading? And a like education has taught
them to think it disgracefal to learn %
trade. The consequence e tne greater

a FINE THOROUGHFARE.

Hacknen, livery stable keepers and
own ers of fast roadsters will be delighted
to kn ow that the way is smooth, level and
open from Canal street via Carrollton ave-
nue. to Dan Hickok's hotel. Mayor Brice
and Captain Hickok, Of Carrollton, and our
esteemed fellow citizen S. n Burbank are
mainly entitled to the credit Of the exploit
of putting the avenue in order. Washing
ton, Common, Canal and Broad streets are
all in good navigable condition, and live
ly times have been resumed. Administra-
tor Lewis is performing his part of an
agreement to smooth down our system Of
she'll roads, which only requires a few
men with shcvels and cart or two.
Our livery and hackmen have suffered
seri GUS losses from bad roads and have
soue reason to begrudge the amount paid
for their licenses, which they conceive
should be at least devoted to that part of
public improvements in which they have
such vital interest, Sc the principal
roadways of the city. But as they are
generally liberal minded men, and will
ing to make due allowance for unavoid-
algle difficulties, they will readily Forgive
