It was the boast Of Napoleon that he
understood practically the manufacture
of every article of military armament.
If there were nobody else to make
powder he could make it, and he could
personally direct the manufacture Of
cannOns gun-carriages, &c. So far as
possible this should be the relation of
every man to his business; because ad-
ministrative supervision demands @

There are certain great underlying

Louisiana Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb.
BATON ROrGE. |,

BATON ROUGH, La, July, 1873.
To the Police Juries, the Municipal Authorities
and friends Of the Deafan0 Dumb in Louisiana:
The Trustees of the Louisiana Institution for
the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, call your
attention to this unfortunate class, and the pro-
vision made for them by the State in this msti-
tuition. All the Deaf between the ages of eight
and twenty-five, of sound physical and mental
constitutions, will be admitted and provided
with instruction., board, lodging, medicine and
medical attendance ut the expense of the Tnsti-
tuition; and all those i'll such INDECENT circum-
stances as shall appear by q certificate OF any
member of the police jury of the parish, or may
or OF the city, where they reside, to render such
aid necessary, will also be furnished with cloth
ing and travelling expenses to the Institution.
The Institution also affords a mechanical depart
ment in which instruction is given in such trades
sustaining citizens. The education of the deaf
is of peculiar Importance to them and to the
State; but from want of information, indulgence
or other reasons on the part OF parents, less than
half in the State avail themselves of the urivil-
eyes afforded. This is all wrong; hence the TruS-
tees earnestly call the attention of all proper
authorities to the duty Of seeing that all the deaf
in their respective parishes or cities, are inform
ed OF the privileges provided, and that in cases
of INDECENT circumstances means be provided
for conveying such to this Institution. Proper
provision will be made for both white and colOred.
In case of any deaf known at this I%nstitiOn to
be in your city Or parish, the names are append
ed to this letter. Should you know or learn Of
others, their address is earnestly desired.

RIcE.-Mr. j. w. Condor, of Belle
vue, has sent us a bundle of rice, just as
cut from the field. The stalks are
about five feet high, and the heads
about six inches long and very heavy.
The cultivation of rice, except by a few
for their own use, is one of the many
neglected industries of this parish. A
large portion Of our land is well adapted
to it, and it is a certain and renumera-
tive crop. It does not require the labor
that cotton does, it is as saleable as cot
ton, and is bread besides. We hope to
see more attention paid to it's cultiva-
ton hereafter.

SAD AND FATAL AecTDENR.-Tt is
with feelings of pain and deep regret
that we announce the untimely and
lamenbahle death of o most worthy and
universally esteemed citizen. Whilst
engaged in repairing his cotton gin,
Mr.. Onezime Mout0n was caught in the
saws, which were in motion with the
apron up, and before assistance could
be rendered, his arm was lacerated and
mangled TO the elbow. More than hall
an hour elapsed before he could be ex.
trieated from his terrible position
Physicians and friends were promptly
on the spot, but the nervous shock was
such, that all efforts to produce a reae.
ton 2ailed, and he expired last Wednes,
day aS O'clock j. NJ, and III less than
twenty-four hours after the accident.

should be repaired at once. It is quite

TROUBLED EERMlL1ON Su.- e
believe that the white citizens of Loui-
siana are generally as honest as in any
other State, but the fact that there is
an exception to this in VermiFon parish,
| where scores of cattle thieves }zaVe con-
gregated, we hope will not bring Alta
kapas into disPepute.
For years past, these villains have
preyed upon the honest citizens of
| these parishes, stealing their cattle and
horses, and in some cases even robbing
| widows of their last mich cow. Time
| and again, arrests have been made for
such crimes, and when the thieves were
brought to trial, they had SO many
friends of their W class they would
| either prove an abb, or the jury (the
majority of whom were likely to be of
that class would either acquit the cri-
minal, or If found guilty, means were
soon furnished to secure their releases
Thus the courts could not help the
honest people, and in desperation they
seemed to have been forced to adopt
the extreme measure OF organizing
themselves into companies or Vigl-
lance Committee, and ordering these
well known villains to leave the coun-
try or forfeit their lives.
The strength of the thieves was SO

We hope that the right viii prevail in
this case, and that Sheriff Shaw, OF
Yermilion, will summon TO his aid eiti-
zens from adjoining parishes to make
a wholesale arrest of the thieves (said
to be seventy-fve in number) and then
