the last named horn of the dilemma. The
manifest absurdities of the above state
ment are sufficient to sustain this view.
/. There is no such thing as any illegal
debt of the State which the constituted
authorities are not prepared to resist, or
which may not be defeated upon proper
showing before the judicial tribunals.
2. So large movement as one involv-
ing the association together of three thou
sand owners and holders of real estate
could not possibly take place without the
knowledge Of some Of the property owners
Of this city. A protracted search for just
one who had ever heard of such thing
from any source except the Times was
fruitless. So it has been kept secret in
that respect.
3. The members are all pledged to Sc
crecy, yet whole plan of programme
has been treacherously divulged by some
faithless member; the numbers of the
rolls are given, the proposed parade
blazoned forth, and the penetralia gen.
orally of this most secret myth exposed
to wondering world by the much gossip
ing Roundabout.
It seems too that within five hundred
Of the number fixed by the organic law,
or other unalterable regulation, have
agreed to turn out on public parade.
As there are over three thousand men,
bers, according to our veracious chronic
Ter, with fve-sixths ready to show them
selves in public, it seems to US piece Of
obstinacy in the five hundred odd men,
bers to stand in the way. Let us have a
parade or something else right off, or we
may begin to doubt the existence OF so
many men in buckram.
Now, as it is simply impossible that any
such organization should be in existence
here, for any such groundless object,
without being well known, it follows that
these inventions have some occult mean
ing. In our judgment it is intended to
operate on the market so as to depress
Louisiana securities. State bonds of all
kinds are rising in value. Certain parties
want the market cleared" until they can
load up, and so cock and bull story
about three thousand repudiating prop
erty holders is invented and palmed off
upon journal notable for its gullibility.
As soon as those who have invented the
story have secured their bonds, and are
ready to sell, the mysterious society will
be dissolved and another formed having
for its object the more prompt collection
of taxes.
Holders Of Louisiana securities, do not
sacrifice your bonds until this mighty
army appears on parade, and then be sure
they are property owners in this city.
Having satisfied yourselves on these
points, raise the selling price of your
bonds an additional five per cent.

the United States within its limits, the
Legislature shall formally make such ces-
sion of right of way and entry upon any
lands that may be necessary for the prose-
cution and maintenance of the work.
Also to establish such police regulations
for the future protection Of the levees as
Congress may deem proper to make. In
our judgment such action would remove
the constitutional objections. Any State,
then, which thought more Of its pride Of
sovereignty than its material interests,
could 60 on in the old way. But we are
sure Louisiana would not be one to stand
in her own light.
We commend our worthy engineers to
the kind consideration Of the powers that
be, and hope they will not forget to re-
mind all having the power to aid US that
we may be proud but are not foolish.

EMPLOYMENT BETTER THAN CHARITY?

In view Of the sad misfortunes which
have befallen this State in consequence OF
the overflow, the following forcible sug-
gestions, taken from a recent letter of
General NJ. JEFF Thompson, are worthy
to be commended to the attention OF
everybody who has it in his power to lend
a helping hand:
The State engineer of Louisiana estimates
the work required to save Louisiana alone
as amounting to 3,000,0 900 cubic yards. We
estimate 1000, 600 each for Mississippi and
Arkansas, to provide temporary safety.
The 5000, 900 cubic yards will cost 81 500 900
| or more, even under the careful disburse-
ment of the United States engineer.
The people whose crops are destroyed
need employment, and must have provisions
or perish. Give them work and disburse
this sum of money among them for levee
building, and the government will avoid
the burden, certainly awaiting, of feeding
to prevent famine among an idle people, for
no crops can be made by them until next
year, and not then without rebuilding the
levees. These views we are constantly
urging, and We have the cooperation OF all
the members from the flooded regions, and
have strong hopes that these general views
WAL PACNdA.
Charity wastes the substance of the
giver, and frequently impairs the energies
of the recipient. Whereas, labor is self
sustaining. 1t pays rich reward for the
benefits conferred; disciplines humanity,
and teaches men to be orderly and indie
pendent. Charity is blessed thing in
an emergency, but its too frequent or too
long enduring exercise, has baleful eff
feet upon persons capable Of making
their fortunes by the work Of their hands.
In order to save the rich lands border
ing on the lower Mississippi from inunda-
ton next year, the government will have
to rebuild the levees that have been
swept away this season, and by doing it
this summer, can give employment to
many thousand people. 1t would, then,
certainly be the work of craftsmanship
for Congress to come to speedy conclu-
sion, that the national government shall
do the work. In that case, an impetus to
the speedy redemption of Louisiana
would be given that could not fail
to have a marked and lasting effect upon
the future growth and prosperity of our
State and city.

An honest farmer of jackson county,
Minnesota, urges the public not to con-
tribute any more to the ALREADY surfeited
beggars" of Cottonwood and Noble coun-
ties. He says that in the two counties men
toned, the inhabitants of which still per-
sist in asking for aid, work can be had at
fair wages for every man, woman and child
that i willing to labor. Certain men have
cleared thousands of dollars out Of the relief
business, and Cottonwood county has re-
ceived enough aid to support every family

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has this good
word for gossip in her new story, just be-
gun in the Christian Union: IA great deal
of good sermonizing, by the by, is expend-
ed on gossip, which is denounced as one Of
the seven deadly sins Of society. But, after
all, gossip has it's better side; if not a
Christian grace, it certainly is one of those
weeds which show good warm SOIL"

A Virginia railroad was made to pay s25
for killing q rooster. The engineer said he
spoke to the gentleman with the whistle as
kindly as possible, but when the fellow
dropped one wing on the ground, raised his

whetting his spur on the rail, forbearance
ceased to be q virtue, and he lit into him
with train of thirteen freight cars, and
forwarded him to his happy scratching
