Citizens Of Natchitoches ; do not
fail in your Mass Meeting to-day, to
enforce the resignation of those men,
bers Of tho Police Jury you have
pronounced either corrupt or iucom-
petent. Your action so far has been
to mitigate evils, and you have before
you the very cause of some of the
most fragrant acts of injustice heaped
upon you, and you will be deserving
the condemnation of all good men,
should you fail to remove it. They
should be given to understand dis.
tinctly, that they must resign and that
Immediately.

We understand that a committee 81
Radicals, waited upon Mr.. Cunning
ham, Chairman of the Committee of
Seventy, with view to understand if
the meeting of citizens which takes
place to-da?, was an Grmed demon
stration. This is going a little too far
Mr.. Republican leaders, and if you
expect to make political capital in
that way you are sadly mistaken. We
have said, and we repeat it, that the
Radical thieves are treated here with
entirely too much consideration, and
such a committee as the one named
above, should be instantly snubbed.
They must have outraged us more
than is shown, that they should feel
deserving OF extreme punishment.
The Republican leaders have time and
again within the past six years para
ded gangs of armed negroes through
our streets; insulting citizens and
even going so far as to threaten them
with death, without consulting the
white people aboutit ; and should citi-
zens desire to bear arms, we are not
aware Of any reasons why they should
not, or any law forbidding it.
The People's vindicator., 1874-06-27

We trust the Mass Meeting to-day
will do something to rid rs cffectual
ly of some of the causes of this bad
legislation, with which our parish
through the Police Jury, has been
disgraced,
The question, as to whose interest
they, (the Police Jury) are being run
has been sufficiently answered by the
President refusing or neglecting to
call the meeting, as required by 1a~,
upon the petition presented him last
week, signed by number of our
largest tax payers.
This way Of treating these thieves
with such marked consideration has
had the tendency to make them inso-
lent anu arrogant, ana we predict
that unless you assume a stern line of
policy, do what you say you will do,
and say you will do something that
will make them quake from center to
circumference, your meetings will be
barren of permanent good.
Remember that you have started in
for reform, and unless you "burn your
boats," you will find some persons
who will suggest the propriety Of a re.
treat, and retreat means ruin.

IN such doses. Then ask yourself why your
son should be more fond of classical
literature, when in six years at school
and four at college he has dragged through
at snail's pace, the received selections
from eight or ten standard Latin and Greek
writers. In such reading he can not get
any comprehensive sense Of the authors
broader range-scarcely any Of the habit OF
his mind. He can not pass from mere
grammar and dictionary work to sense OF
the drift of classical literature. Such is the
natural result of collecting large school,
with few competent teachers, but at the
best assignment Of tlirty or forty boys to
each one of them. Fully halt the force OF
boy and master is wasted in driving the
machinery itself along. We needed no
such example as that of the boy Stuart
Mill-reading his Latin and Greek at one
end of the table while his father wrote the
history of India at the other-to know that
our system of learning, which We call a
system OF teaching, steals and throws away
half the time of the schoors. 1t is. in many
cases, alas! system where nobody teaches,
but where few Overworked masters hear
the lessons which horde Of untaught boys
have learned, after fashion, from good,
bad, and Indifferent text books. And yet
they are not happy

Charles Warren Stoddard writes of 60
ing to the Grotta Ferati fair from Rome
with Joaquin miller, as follows
joaquin aad were secretly praying that
we might have reserved to Us a donkey
each whereor we might make our entry
into the fair grounds in fashion BETTING
the time. We thought it but natural that
all the desirable beasts had been engaged
week or more, yet We found a dozen of
them sounding their lungs as we mounted
the long stairs that led to the Frascati, and
the small boys who had them in charge i'm
plored US in the name of the Madonna to
mount and be happy. We easily struck
bargain. for nearly everybody preferred
footing the two miles to the fair grounds.
1t is not considered immoral to walk III this
country. Having mounted our diminutive
donkeys, we signaled the kids-I mean the
little engineers-to turn on the steam; they
did it with club. On went Millers donkey
and his great-cloak fell over the tail OF the
little beast and was kicked up by those two
small hoofs in the funniest fashion. My
animal was less spirited. Perhaps he knew
that l wasn't used to the circus andAhad
some consideration for my feelings as well
as for his back: OF course he was sore under
the saddle. joaquin dashed on. AS he
passed the thrOng Of pedestrians he was
saluted with much spirit His tall. sugar-
loaf hat scarcely overtopped the heads OF
the people whom he galloped amongst. and
l believe he could have walkedDover the
ears OF his donkey without much inconven.

away in the rear of my saddle, and kept
up continued fire of abuse that, how
ever, had no sensible effect upon the
tour-footed martyr, toward whom 1t
was directed. We logged along. smiled at
every body who smiled at us, and l think
there was no exception in ali that country;
had many narrow escapes from being run
down by carria ges. he drivers of which had
overlooked us until We were quite quite IN
der their wheels; saw all the winding road
alive with happy folk. who were as bright
and cheerful as the day itself. Sometimes
Joaquin was lost in the distance; sometimes
he stood on a rise IN the road and called for
me to come on like a man: again he charged
past carriage full of ladies, hat in hand,
and the effort was sufficiently sensational to
add a new charm to the peasants fair.
While he was thus careerirg a swarthy
Italian, flushed with wine and long walk,
saluted HIM as Don Quixote, and called
him Don for the rest Of the day.
