Gen Howard's trial, by more re-
cent Developments, take on differ
ent aspect, according to the state
ment of the Chicago Tribune. The
case has been reviewed by judge Ad-
vocate Holt, This review cites the
maxim that ignorance of the law
exeuseth no man." The salient
points made by him were that How
ard, either through carelessness or
incompetence, established an in
adequate and blundering system for
the payment of moneys due to color
ed troops; and he converted funds
in his possession into United States
interest bearing bonds, although
such action was expressly forbidden
by law, that he made this invest
ment without the oOgniEsnee, of his
superior officer, the Secretary of
War; that he failed to account for
interest received on the bonds so pur-
chased until two years after they
had been reconVertsd into money.
The Judge Advocate advised, and
it seems to us with good reason, that
the conduct of Gen. Howard should
not be allowed to pass without the
making of a record that would deter
army officers who might have SINH
lar trusts con6ded to them from
following in his footsteps.

The floods in Louisiana have left
the submerged districts in far bet
Ter condition as regards sugar and
rice plantations than could have been
looked for by the most sanguine
While in some districts the sugar
crop is hopeIessiy lost, this is made
Hp by large acreage in cultivation
and alarge prOportionate yield else
where, In addition, the weather
since the food has been unusually
favorable for laying by crops, and
the season is nearly month ahead
of last years, The rice districts are
in a still more promising condition
The crevasses in Plaquemines Par.
ish, by far the most important rice
growing district, were closed early
and the prospects are excellent.
Altogether 5000 acres more than
last year are cultivated with rice.
While, therefore the floods have
caused immense suffering in the
South, the disastrous consequences
have not been deploFsble as was at
first supposed.

HoRsEFLEsH As FooD.-Horsefesh F
as an Article of diet is coming into
favor in Paris and In SONS of
the cities of Germany. This is due
largely to the influence of scientists
like N. Isidre Geoffroy Saint
HiIaire, sad of certain skillful veter-
mary surgeons, who took the very
practical way Of inviting the repre-
sentatiYes of the press and of medi-
cal boards to banquets, the principal
dishes served at which were of
horsefesh, in order to prove how ex-
cellent food it was, In this way
they showed that the new dish was
healthy and nutritious. Since the
year 1866 there have been places in
Paris where horsefesh has been
kept constantly on sale, just as beef
is in ordinary butchers shops. In
large cities there are, and always will
be.a class of people who viii find it
economical to use such meat in pref
erence to any other; and, as mat
fetOf fact, it is in large cities that
its consumption is greatest. From
1865 to 1872, there were slaughtered
IN Berlin alone 25,s7S horses an av-
erage of 1924 annually-one fourth
part of the meat being used for hu-
man assumption. In Munich the
consumpiioB of horsefesh was intro
daeed in 1859, between which time
and 1872 there were slapghted S,9O5
horses for such purposes. In Wen,
ns there were ip 1851 two butchers
who dealt exclusively in horsehesh,
and in 1870 there were eight. Ed
ward Smith, in his work on foods,
considers hOFsefesh healthy and nu-
tritious. HorseGesh is used boiled,
ip the shape of hash, and in other
forms. 1t makes good soup, steak,
and sausage. In Paris there have
been slaughtered since 1866, ,7O,I5s
horses, A, ,FOs of which were killed
in 1901. OF late years the con-
sumption has been increasing in Pa
ds, owing to the high cost of other
meat.

The City of Louisville, Kentucky, viii
have, in three years, the largest and most
complete Public Library on the continent.
The collection of books is already enor-
nous. the galleries of paintings and
statusry are only third in extent and
value, and the museum is quite equal to
any in this country. This is the work of
dozen men, headed by Ex-Gov. Thos.
E. Bramlette, who have accomplished it
all Gncluding the magnificent building
which contains i0 by series of Gilt
Concerts. They give two each year, the
profits going to the Library. 6ut of the
profits Of the third, given in August, 1873,
the managers added largely to their col
lection Of books, and printed Robinson
Crusoe in raised letters, for the blind of
the State, and from the proceeds OF the
fourth, which took place last March, they
printed Pilgrims Progress, in like man
ner, and enlarged theiF department of
minerslogy. The fifth and last concert
takes place July 81, 1874, and from that it
is expected to complete the work, and
make it the largest thing in America,
They distribute $9,5OO,OOO among ticket
holders, the highest gift being $4,000.
The managers are receiving thousand of
letters daily containing money or asking
for information, force of twenty clerks
being required TO attend to them. Gov.
Bramlette has made these concerts great
successes, for which he is the most popu-
lar man in Louisville.

One of the important measures be.

of time was the Little Tariff bill. Il
was killed by the obstinate refusal
OF the Senate to make any conces-

the cause Of its failure as the pro.
vision for tax on brokers' sales
They do say in Washington that a
powerful lobby from New York was
for long time engaged in working
up the Senate, and finally succeeded
in raising grave doubts in that body
as to the constitutionality of the
proposed tax. <
