Know Ye All People.

Among the late, if not the latest, at
fractions Of Canal street is the great China
and Japan tea store, located at No. ITO.
opposite the Varieties Theatre. In this es-
tablishment may be found the choicest teas
imported to this country. Black, green, or
mixed, new or old, are there displayed
in all their purity; in fact the imported
plant may therein be seen growing in full
perfection, and it is the intention of the en-
terprising proprietor to make this the tea
depot, par excellence, Of New Orleans, and
to convince those who favor him With their
patronage that the best qualities of tea are
within the reach of the most limited purse.

CarrolItOn Attractions.

With the return Of spring time, now full
upon us, with its roses aud perfumed air,
and its glorious moonlight evenings, comes
the desire for outdoor amusement and re-
creation. But few are able to indulge in
carriage drives over the shell road to the
lake, and excursions to Carroalton appear
to be most reasonable and inexpensive. We
learn that our old friend Dan Hickok has
recently put his grounds in complete order.
He has laid new dancing platform, and
arranged burners to light his sylvan ball
room with gas. Who will open the ball!
All who like quiet lunch will also find
something to their taste at Schroders. 1t
is to get out of crowded city, however,
that peolpe IN the main 60 to Carrollton, and
it is not strange that the cars for that place
are crowded, especially on Sundays. A
little more enterprise on the part Of the
Carrollton railroad managers would Just
now be greatly appreciated. Thousands
would avail themselves of an opportunity
to make the trip up town, where hundreds
now 60, if only more cars were put on the
road. Let us have rapid transit and plenty

We publish this morning the proceedings
of the Republican parish convention held
in Avoyelles, and are pleased to see that it
contains 50 well merited compliment to
its representative in the State Legislature,
General L. j. Souer. The expressions of
confidence and pledge of future support
therein contained are made especially
significant by the fact that the General was
not in the parish at the time of their adop-
ton, which is An evidence that they are a
manifestation Of genuine regard.
Through the personal efforts of Mr.. Souer,
the parish Of Avoyelles was first to obtain
relief, and it is a known fact that his in
dividual generosity and energy averted
actual starvation in certain localities. He
has established several supply posts, and il
constantly shipping provisions, etc., to the
responsible citizens in charge of the depots
He estimates that six-sevenths of the parish
is under water, and the General himself
bears traces Of the exposure and hardshipe
his recent trip through the inundated dis
trict necessitated.

An English View Of American Finances.
LONDON, May 2.-The Post in an editO-
rial on American finances, remarks that the
hopes of a complete victory in the next
presidential election entertained by the in
fiationists, or, properly speaking, the repu-
diationists, are melancholy to contemplate.
Should they be realized, then the declara-
ton of independence would be celebrated
by declaration of independence Of COM
mon honesty. The most ominous feature is
that the struggle is sharply defined by
geographical limits and threatens to be-
come sectional like the anti slavery contest

MINERAL WATERs.-It is now generally
acknowledged that the mineral waters
which are sold in this city by the glass and
which are so generally drank by the public,
has done much towards improving the
public health. Vichy water, Bladon, Blue
Lick and Congress waters all have their
friends and constant drinkers, especially at
the store of Mr.. II. Huberwald, No. l65
Canal street, where they are sold for five
cents a glass, and are always so icy cold
and refreshing.

The Railroad War in Wisconsin.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis.,, May Ex-Governor
Taylor has issued a proclamation having
reference to. the resistance of railroads to
the law of last winter He recites that
such law was passed and approved; that
the competency Of the Legislature to reg
nlate railroads is conceded; that the ST.
Paul and Northwestern railroad COM
panies have announced their deter
mination to operate their roads with
out reference to the provisions OF
the act. This, he says, is source of pro-
found regret, and in marked contrast with
| the patience and submission exhibited by
the people in the presence of what they
have deeaed unjust and burdensome exac-
tions in the past, and, if persisted in, must
| seriously disturb business and greatly i'm
| peril the industries of the State.
The proclamation concludes as follows:
therefore enjoin all railroad corporations,
their officers and agents to peaceabiy sub.
init to the law, for since the executive is
| charged with the responsibility OF seeing
that the laws are faithfully executed, all
the functions OF this office Will be exercised
to that end. and for this purpose he invokes
the aid and cooperation OF all good citi-
| zens.

CHURCH AND STATE.

The tendency toward political ah(
religious freedom in Great Britain
was never more evident than at the
present time. The prediction very
GENERALLY made at the time of the
disestablishment of the Church OF
Ireland, that the next movement OF
tho progressive party in England
would be toward separating the
Church from the State in England, is
apparently about to be realized. The
movement can hardly be said to be in
its infancy, for it was begun some
time ago; but it has received u fresh
impulse from large meeting Just
held in London, which was presided
over by Professor Goodwin Smith.
The policy Of the conservative party,
vow in power, is to stand by vested
rights and the ancient institutions of
the empire, and it will devolye upon
the liberals, therefore, to make the
disestablishment of the English
Church party measure, and carry
it into the contests in Parliament.
Probably few impartial observers out
side of England doubt that the result
that will follow this struggle will be
the overthrow of the establishment. |
Ono by one The institutions which
prop up the aristocratic system of
Britain have fallen. The battle has
been going on for half o century,
md the people have gained ground
nch by inch. The enlargement of
he franchise and the disestablish-
nent of the Irish Church have been
heir latest triumphs. In the future
hey are to overcome the inequitable
and laws, the custom of primogeni-
ure, and the union of the Church
nth the State. May not this, when
is accomplished, pave the way for !
he abolition of The House Of Lords
nd the monarchy? f? There is a party !,
4 England that says that it shall.

THE WEALTH or IMM1GRATroN.

The immense wealth which flows
into this country with tho foreign
Immigration that annually landsupon
our shores is not generally under
stood. We're OUR legislators, or rather
the honest, intelligent portion of our
Legislators, better informed on this
subject, the disposition recently dis
played in Congress and some of the
State Legislatures to discourage i'm
migration would certainly not have
been shown. From the last authen-
ticated statistics it appears that during
the ten years ending June 80, 1878,
the number ofporsons who arrived in
tho United States for tho purpose Of
making permanent settlement here
was 3,2l2,2ll. An eminent author
ity, Mr.. David A Wells, tho political
economist, calculates that the average
amount OF money brought, in cash,
by each immigrant, is from $40 to
Sl0O. AT the lowest estimate this
would add more than 5000, 900, 900 to
tho amount of opr national wealth.
1t is curious fact, however, that the
Of money annually spent
abroad in travelling by our wealthy
classes is about $50, 100000, or $780,
900, 600 in ten years, so that the gam
from immigration is counterbalanced
by tho expenditure for sightseeing.
Still, If the immigrant did not bring
10 us tho above sum, wo should be
)at so much at the end of each de-
'ade, instead Of e0ep, so tho gain is
positive from that source. But it is {
lot the mere money that the immi- !
grant brings that makes him so val I
liable as contributor to ournational 1
prosperity. His bone, brain and t
muscle are of vastly more consc- t
Iuence. Mr. Wells estimates the l.
yerage valAe of the wealth added by t
he work of each now settler at eight "
undrod dollars, so that in ten years il
nmigration has been the means of Il
icreasing our aggregate wealth us a
luch as two thousand five hundred ii
lillion dollars, or more than the
ational debt, How short-sighted is
10 policy that would place any OBJ az
acles in the way of the movement of NJ
10 people Of Europe to these shores. h,
$ long as tho millions of acres of p,
II broad Western domain aro I'M W
nanted, and the sparscly settled ou
'utli needs men to develop its re- W
urces, we can afford to say to the id
ling millions Of Europe, in the ca
nguage Of the Maccdonians, come en-
on and help us, bu
