A certain amount of salt, in addition
to that obtained from grass, either green
or dry, is required by the cow This
should be placed where the COW will
have free access to it every day, and
should not be mixed with her food
Some cows in my herd will eat salt
every day, while others, receiving the
same kind of food, and drinking of the
same water, will not eat salt oftener
than once in four or five days in Sum-
mer. Hence salt mixed with the cow
food will furnish to some more salt than
they require, and to others less than
they need.

VALUE OF CoLoNY.-Tbe people of
Georgia who are disirous Of securing white
immigration, may perhaps gain hints of
value from the experience of Maine in COL
onizing New Sweden, in the northern wild
erness of that State. In December 1871,
the colony of New Sweden was founded,
and it now numbers GOO souls. The COL
onists have taken up 10000 acres of land,
have felled 1900 acres of forest, and have
seeded 400 acres of grass land. The State
furnished the Swedes from the founding of
the sum Of 1924, 32l, of which the Swedes
have repaid $9,O28 in labor on public
roads, leaving a balance of little moro
than GIG, 900, which is to be paid in road
labor when wanted. Provisions and tools
were the principal articles supplied to the
colonists by the State, which also put up
twenty-six houses to receive them on
their arrival. Since then the Swedes
have built I04 houses, 100 barns, Q steam
single mills, and water power saw mill
100 men of the colony have declared their
intention of becoming American citizens.
But this is not all. In addition to the 600
Swedes in New Sweden, there are 300
friends and relatives of the colonists scat
tered through the State, adding by their
industry to the wealth of the community.
The 800 Swedes in Maine all paid their
own passage to this country, and brought
with them 100000 in cash. 1t is estimat-
ed that as producing force these immi-
grants are worth 81, 500, 900 to the State,
and all this has been accomplished by the
intelligent expenditure of less than S25,-
600, third of which has already been
repaid in labor on public works, and the
remainder of which will also be repaid in |
due time.-Sdrannah Ne,us.

The Funding Bill.

People are considerably exercised over
this measure of the United States Legisla-
ture sitting for Louisiana, on Dryades
street. For our part we consider it rather
immaterisl what they do in reference to
future indebtedness. Without being
prophets, we can pretty safely say that the
people of Louisiana do not intend to pay
any part of the debt created by Legisla-
lures manufactured for them by the Fed
eral Government. Whether people choose
to call our debt ffty-three mill
lions or fifteen millions, is q matter of
indifference. 1t must all be considered q
good joke. OF course 80 long as Gen.
Grant keeps his army in this State to sus-
tain fraudulent government in q position
which he himself gave it, just 30 long our
people will have to pay the forced loans put
upon them by these armed invaders, and
called taxes" But as to paying Sheir
debts after the power of self-government
shall have heen restored to us by the
honest people of the North, the idea is
preposterous.
The people of this State will not, in our
opinion, repudiate their honorable debts,
but they will unhesitatingly repudiate the
villainous usurpations that have for several
years been playing the role of government
for as. They will repudiate them and all
their Ubiquitous obligations. Any usurpa-
ton may form de Jdcte government,
justifying obedience on the part of citizens
while it lasts, but is incapable Of binding
them after it's expulsion.
The funding bill may become law, and
give it's administrators chance to make
several millions of dollars for themselves

Profitable Religion.

Professionalism pays well-to its agents.
The Southern Churohman, an Episcopalian
paper published at Alexandria, Va, in q
recent number furnished the public with
a very good exemplidcation of this truth.
BY way of contrast, it first cites the man
ner in which one Of the most respectable
institutions of the country is run, that is,
the Savings Bank of Baltimore. During
last year its business Amounted to 9l4,-
100000, dispersed through 10000 accounts
and all loaned out, yet the whole cost of
running this vast machine was only $780,
600. That is, the commission of the Bank
for attending to all this business was only
one third of one per cent. The Churchmon
then says that if instead of being a Saw
ings Bank it had been Bible or Mission
tary Society the cost of administration
would have been from to rs per cent of
the funds passing through its mill. 1t
adds:
The ssvngs Bank does not spend as much
money in the collecting and dIsbursing $1&,-
600 900, az the Domestic Committee Of tho
Board Of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal
to collect and disburse 1880 And to sup
ply 8, 900 cheap Bibles and Testaments (which
cost less than 81, 0OO,) to destitute people in
Virginia, absolutely costs over $4,000 to do
it more than three dollars to get O. twenty
Eve cent Bible ten cent Testament, into
tho hands of person or family, who had only
to go to any preacher of any kind in the neigh
borhood, and get one.
Now this is certainly "fat-take" for
tho office holders in these enterprises, and
no doubt forms the basis of morality for
those Christian statesmen who rob the
Nations SO sanctimonously, but it is an
expensive form of Apdstolicity. 1t ia
popularity supposed that st. Peter aud st.
Paul,swho dispensed altogether with the
sale of cheap bibles on their missions, were
somewhat more successful in reaching the
unrepentent and unbelieving than are our
our Colporteurs of the present day. The
same may be said of st. Francis Xavier and
other still more modern missionaries who
have carried the gospel, in its living form
and without much aid from printers ink,
among countless tribes and peoples.
Professionalism won't do as a missionary
religion. 1t costs too much.

St. Vincent's Fair.

This Fair closed last Monday night. We
are pleased to report that on the previous
Saturday and Sunday nights, as also on the
closing night, The Hall was visited by quite q
large number of persons. It is impossible as
yet to give an exact report as to the success of
the Fair, but from statements received from
interested parties we judge that the gross re-
ceipts will approximate $500. The expenses
amount to about $500.
The contest at St. Joseph's table for the
piano was the cause of considerable excite
ment. Three very popular young ladies were
the contestants, each cauvassing assiduously
outside and in the Fair for votes, which were
sold OF fifty cents apiece. Miss Ellen Curran
was the victor ia this contest, over 1900 votes
each over 1000.
In the contest at st. Patrick's table for the
gold badge by the several Assistant Engineers
of the New Orleans Fire Department., the
votes were IS follows: Mr.. D. MoCarty, 661 !;
Mr.. F. Schneider, sos; Mr.. F. Heron, GIG Mr..
f. Schribert O..
The young lady who was successful in the
contest ut this table for the fruit set, kindly
gave it to st. Patrick's Conference, to be dis
posed of for the benefit of the poor.
Considering the many difficulties the organ
izers of the Fair had to overcome, and the
it's success, we think the kind ladies who gave
to it their time and attention, may congratu-
late themselves upon the results achieved.

control it's business. The tive grand re-
quisites in its administrators are capacity
and honesty, without both of which inse-
Gu rity must exist.
1t would, with the lights of every day
experience before us, be folly to imag-
inc that any moneyed corporation can be
conducted with security to its stockholders
by set of unreliable directors. 1t is in
vain to attempt, by written charter, to Ne
up men in such a way that they shall become
mere automata, working through their
parts with !exactitude but Invested of every
opportunity to do wrong. There is al
ways opportunity and the best devised
systems Of political government, and OF
corporate government too in the Northern
States, every day demonstrate themselves
incapable Of protecting their constituents
against the rascality Of ofaceholders.
Hence it becomes absolutely essential to
look for honest directors for moneyed in
situations, men whose honor can be relied
on instead of trusting to q skilfully ar
ranged system of checks and balances
written out on q piece of parchment. Any
body can look at the list of names with
which we open this article and perceive at
q glance that their interests will be pro-
tected in the Hibernia Bank.

pied. The community 10 living in it.. 1t
was in that the Retreat was held, and in
that they have the rooms for priests and
laymen who may wish at any time to make

was cut by their own saw-mill and al! the
timber was got on their own ground.
And right along side of the saw mill, in
breaking rock they opened spring of
delightful water, perfectly pure and sweet,
and very cold: and 80 abundant that it
supplies the whole house-and the cattle
and even the garden and some OF the fields.
It 10 driven up in pipes to whatever place
it 10 wanted, and several tanks are kept

there for young boys whe have some ex-
pectation Of devoting their lives to God in
the Order of the Redemptorists. Five
students are already there, and they ex-
poet to build, before long, another house in
which they can receive large number of
students.
These are only some Of the interesting
points we hear about Chatawa. We hope
sometime to make a personal acquaintance
with it. It is only ninety miles from US
on tho jackson Railroad; and when we
count the pure air, the spring water, the
farm vegetables, and the spiritual refresh
ment too, it must be glorious place to
take a weeks repose.

Hibernia Bank.

From IN advertisement elsewhere in
serted, our readers will perceive that the
Hibernia National Bank is working under
its new Board of Directors as reduced in
nnmber by amendment of charter. The
Board consists now of seven members,
Messrs. P. Irwin, E. Conery, John Hender-
son, VIM. Hart, Thos. Marley, Emile
Gauche and Thos. Gilmore, with Mr.. Irwin
as President, Mr.. Conery as Vice President
and John G. Devereux, Esq, Cashier.

during the recent pahic, that nothing can

while rusning it's operation, but the fifteen
millions will stand on no better q footing
than the original fifty three millions from
which they will be boiled down. The people
are in honor bound for any debts contracted,
even unwisely, by their own agents. But
the Louisiana Legislators of the last few
years have not been the agents of the peo-
pie of this State They have been simply
set of plunderers fastened upon us by
superior and hostile force. The United
States Government put them here and
keeps them here by force of arms. Let
that government pay their debts. Ger
tainly tho people Of this State are not in
honor bound by the contracts Of such aelf-
imposed "agents."

New Orleans Homestead Association,

Last Monday evening the Stockholders of
this Association hold a meeting for the purpose
of electing Directors for this year. The names
of the gentlemen elected will be found in our
advertising columns.
The report Of the Secretary, Mr.. T. j. O'sul-
livan, furnishes satisfactory evidence Of the
prosperous condition of the Company. Organ
lied but three months there have been, during
that short time, $4,000 of it's capital stock
subscribed. A loan of 81 900 has been already
effected by one of the Stockholders, and
another loan of no less amount will be
offered early next month. The purposes and
objects of the Association are to lend it's mem
bers sufficient money to enable them to pur
chase or improve real estate. There is not q
man in the community, no matter how limited
his means, bnt can save weekly o small sum
which, paid into this Corporation, will give
him o home any time he may wish to possess
one. Its Stockholders, among whom are many
of our influential merchants, and the above
record, remarkable for panic times, are sufa-
cient guaranty that it is organized on a sub
stential basis.

Mixed Schools.

The Civil Rights bill will defeat it's own
object if passed. People can always find
ways of evading laws against which there
licensed" places are specially included in
the operation of the proposed law. The
proprietor of any place of entertainment,
for keeping which he must have license
from State OF Municipal authority, shall
be punished for discriminating on account
Of color. This would be nulliied in an I'M
sympathiziDg community by abolishing
licenses and substituting property tax.
The school room IL to be made another
battle ground for the social rights of the
colored citizen. Every school conducted
or in any manner aided by public subsidies
shall be open to all regardless of COLOR
in other words shall be "Mixed Schools"
But representatives in Washington have
been promptly notified that certain States
would abolish public schools altogether
rather than have them mixed. The fact is
that the question of social equality is en-
tirely beyond the sphere of civil govern
ment. 1t is none of the governments
business, and people intuitively feel this
"1GuOub WuCA AcCOuIb0 " AO8LCs SAkL 6uCu
legislation is declared null and void by the
highest human court, that is, public opin-
ion.
The same kind of instinct, untrammeled
by pref udice, would pronounce in the same
way about all State schools. Education is
strictly domestic question. 1t is none of
the States business. 1t is entirely beyond
its Jurisdiction OF the purposes for which
it is organized. just like feeding, clothing,
nursing and correcting the child, educating
it is the parents business and nobody
else's. Whenever the parent is crimipally
negligent in any of these particulars,
society can interfere between him and the
victim of his unnatural Indifference, but
the case must be most aggravated one.
like that where the father may be deprived
of the tutorship of his child.

SupernumerarieS.

An article in the PresbyteriaR Of last
Thursday enlightens us upon the statistics
of active and supernumerary ministers in
article is quoted from a paper called the
Interior and concludes as follows:
y. But if We come down to the rigid calculation
professors, editors, ETC., "a being among the
unemployed, we have Presbyterians, 2,75 out
of 4,346, that is, three-ffths fully employed.
21,234, or less than two-ffshs. Now, it is a
known fact that while the Methodist Church
has thus over $4,000 ministers unemployed,
there are reported, in their statistics OF confer
ences, over $500 pr saching places unsupplied.
What would be thought of any other pro-
fessiop or trade so dreadfully overlooked.
Why, simply, that the Inducements to
embrace it must be immense. There are
great odds against one that he will be a
"supe," it is true, but what if he should
become starr His lot would be fallen
upon pleasant places. Just think of big
salary and nothing to do but talk once a
week, q fine house and somebody else
to keep it furnished and pay its taxes,
the semi-idolatry of refined, intelligent
circle Of society and the pick of it's rich
daughters for wife! The prize is attrac-
tive no wonder 80 many strive for it and
fall back defeated into the ranks of the
"supes."
The Catholic religion is not 80 fortunate
in this respect. 1t cannot find candidates
enough for it's priesthood there are NO sp-
pernumeraries. The fields are white to
the harvest, and reapers enough are not
fouud to labor in them. The demand is
always for more priests, more priests. But
it is clearly understood when a candidate
is accepted that there will be NO sinecure
for him. He will have to work.
