Education by Illustration.

We arepleased to learn that the faculty
of our State Agricultural and Mechanical
College have adopted course of instruc-
ton consistent with the plans for it's estab-
lishment, and which, if continued, will make
the college an honored institution of
learning.
Though but recently established under
the endowment act, the matriculates en-
rolled already number 100. with an average
attendance Of eighty five pupils. We have
previously noted the success of the print
ing department, where the art preservative 9
is taught to the student by the actual set
ting of type.
Other branches Of industry and science
will be explained from time to time in as
effective manner. For instance, on Fri
day last the pupils were taken to the works
of the New Orleans city gas company, upon
the invitation Of Mr.. James Jackson, and
during the laborers' noon intermission, the
theory and manner of making gas was
explained to the students by DR.. Thomas
Nicholson, president of the college. Other
illustrations OF practical value will follow.
1t is just this system of teaching by OBJ
iect and lecture that can alone make the
college success. This was the plan of the
greatest Of modern teachers, Agassiz, who
told his pupils to study from nature, and
when they asked him for book he gave
them stone instead. 1t is the true way,
and rational mode of teaching, imparting
to the inquiring and pliable mind the infor-
nation most desired and at the right time.

Senator Raford Blunt, of NatchitOches,
arrived in this city on the Bart Able, Cap
tain Sinnott. On his way down his pres
ence was requested by mob of men who
bore him no good will, but he was discreet
enough not to fall into their hands. From
a gentleman who came down on the boat
we learn the following facts:
At Planters Landing, Natchitoches par
ish Tuesday evening, the Bart Able was
taking cattle aboard. Some ten or fifteen
men were at the landing. The cattle be-
longed to Charleville, and he was there to
sec them shipped. The boat laid there near
two hours Charleville came on board and
took drink at the bar, when some passen-
ger told him that Senator Blunt was
aboard. He went ashore, asked eight
others to come on board and take drink
at the bar They did so, and several drinks
were taken. After drinking. some OF the
crowd remarked that they wanted to see
Blunt, stating they wanted to frighten him:
Passing through the cabin they tramped
around the starboard of the vessel heavily,
their spurs and heavy tramp causing
noise equal to hundred people moving.
After they had looked around for few mo-
ments in vain, the captain rang the first
bell to get ready to move OFT, the cattle be-
ing all on board. The men went ashore,
and as the boat moved off they shouted,
"Take care of Blunt" several times.
Senator Blunt passed through the cabin
while the men we're drinking, but they did
not observe him. He then went to his state
room or somewhere else, and was seen NO
more until morning. 1t was the opinion OF
all the passengers that had the men got pos
session of Blunt after having taken thell
drinks, they would have injured him, per
haps killed him. Our informant does moi
think any assault was premeditated. but
one more drink and few moments delay
would have caused trouble. There was nc
disposition manifested to compel the cap
tain to surrender him, nor to remain OF
board.

The Globe Theatre.

The quantity and quality of amusements
for the coming season promises to be good
and equal to the demand. Manager j.
Kittredge, of the new Globe, is early in the
field and is converting the auditorium of
that theatre into as cosy a little place of
amusement as can be found in the country.
Under his careful supervision the floor of
the parquette will be slightly lowered and
the clumsy boxes will be entirely removed,
leaving the lower part of the house with
seating arrangements similar to the Varie-
ties Theatre. New and comfortable arm
chairs will be provided throughout the
house, wherein person may rest easily
and laugh heartily. The stairwsys of the
front entrance will also be entirely changed
and made convenient and attractive.
Mr.. Kittredge has not yet fixed upon the
date of his opening night. His agents in
New York are completing his engagements
with artists and combinations, and there is
every reason to believe we shall have first
class entertainments in the popular variety
line at the Globe the coming season. We
can trust to Kits sagacity and experience
as . Snowman for that.

[For the New Orleans Republican,
THE WASH BILL.

At meeting of Leaguers last Saturday night
Mr.. Toutblanc was called to the chair;
The clerk was recording events as they passed,
And the active reporters were there.
MI White was haranguing with fury and foam,
No payment of wages to niggers,
And he asked, he'd left his Eyeglasses at home,
That the clerk would please read few figures,
Which would show, il the census pretends to be
right
That the ward he addressed was obliged to 60
white.
He picked from some others the following scrawl
Which was passed from the club to the table,
Then the clerk read it out IN the hearing OF all,
SO to publish it here are able:
The fifteenth of June, eighteen seventy -four,
To Mary Black OWN three do liars,
For washing and mending and ironing your -
Three shirts and false bosOms and collars.
It's three weeks Mr.. White, I've been waitin' on
And I'm all out of soap and my rent has come due"
The League raised a shout; and though White still
insists
1t was not the right paper they're reading,
The clerk still read on, for the wash-wOman's list
Had become an important proceeding;
member the wash bill waved grsndly on high,
He scorned all such menal assistance,
wash. women and all of their works we defy,
Let US all swear united resistance"
The orator seemed quite prepared for this tight,
With his rusty cloth suit and ne linen-in sight.
But a member opposed this intolerant view,
And his words are we'll worthy of quoting:
pray what are our women and children to do;
Must they staIve to keep darkies from voting"
Then he told them tale of wild Irishman,
When his dog by some mischief dspleases
Was advised by friend 'Jist you follow this plan
Hould him out in the cowld till he freezes
| They found in the morning the dog was all right
But the Irishman froze in the course of the
night"
This working ourselves, let me say, is all bosh;
| And to drive off the darkies il ruin,
We can not roll hogshesds, nor will our wives
| wash
| Don't YOU see what tall trouble is brewing!
| If we can't hire darkey, pray what is youl
| plight" .
Asked this candid and caustic debater-
You must pay higher prices for all Of your white
For you can't hire black legislator"
| So the club stands adjourned. and the problem il

Action of the Committee of Thirty.


PARIS, July 1.-THE committee of thirty
on constitutional bills held an important
sitting to-day. Fourlon, Minister Of the In'
terror, appeared and presented the views
of tho government. He said the govern
ment would accept bill drawn up by the
committee, which provides for q cOntinu-
ance of the title of President of the repub-
lie, for the creation of second chamber
and for the organization of personal sep
tenate. to terminate with the expiration OF
MacMahon's seven years term, or sooner
in case of his resignation or death, but it
was desirable that certain provisions which
required immediate action should be EN-
bodied in a separate measure for epeedier
passage by the Assembly, and FOurlOn spe-
cited them, as flows:
l. Deputies should be elected for separate
embellishments instead of departments, for
it was necessary to keep in mind the possi-
bility of the dissolution of the Assembly.
2. In the creation of the second chamber
the government especially wished that the
President should be empowered to NOM
mate considerable proportion of its mem
bers.
3. The government insists that power be
given to the President to dissolve the lower
chamber, but as the manner of the appoint
ment of the members of the upper house is
not decided upon, it can not say whether
ClaC power buOulU 10 oAcTCl6Ou WlOuOuu Cuc
cooperation of the latter.
FOurlon, in conclusion, remarked that the
government was not desirOus of interfering
with the duty of the Assembly in framing q
constitution, but merely pointed out what
it considered the essential points. Full ex-
preston would be given to its opinions in
debate when the subject came before the
Assembly.
The legitimists are irritated by the Presi-
dents message, land are resolved to oppose
the personal septenate.
Newspaper Article Creates an Excite
ment in the Assembly.
An article in to-day's issue of the Figaro
melting revolt against the decision OF the
Assembly occasioned much irritation among
the deputies. There was firm debate on
the article, during which M. Depeyre, mon
archist, announced that the Figaro had
been suspended for two weeks, neverthe-
less the left moved an Interpolation which
was postponed for a month.
NJ. Brlsson, of the extreme left, moved
that the writer of the Objectionable article
in the Figaro be called to the bar of the
House, and accused the government OF
partiality in its punishment OF Journals
Brisson's motion was rejected after a
speech by Gambetta in which he limited
| that the Assembly was a corpse fit for a
grave digger.
The left centre anticipate majority ot
| fifteen for Casimir Perier's bill, which pro
poses the organization of a defnitive re-
public.

Aquatics.

On Wednesday next, July Is, will be held
a grand regatta under the auspices of the
Pelican Club. The races are to be rowed
on Bayou st. John, and it is understood
that the Pelican, Orleans and Riverside
Clubs will compete. 1t is to be hoped that
the Louisiana Club may take part in the
contest, at least in the four cared race.
The sports of the day will consist of a
single scull race, a pair-oared race and a
three mile straight away dash between
four-oared Outraged gigs.
The Riverside crew are being coached by
the st. John Club, and the Orleans are the
guests Of the Pelican Club. 1t has not
been decided whether the Louisiana Club
will enter or not. Should they do so, it
may safely be predicted that hot work will
be cut out for those contesting the palm
with them.

Grnngers.

With evident sincerity, the Rahc, paper
claiming to speak by authority of the
Grangers, indicates how the Patrons intend
to vote for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor at the coming election. The ticket is
a good one, but the Rohe should not put its
agricultural foot into political machinery
and deceive its readers to the extent of
telling them new Governor will be elected
the coming fall, for such is not the case.
The farming implement says:
Political papers are anxious to know how
the Grangers are going to act during the
csming election. They will probably make
up the programme as follows:
For GovernOr-An honest man.
For Lieutenant Governor-An honest
man.
And, so on through the whole list.
