TIE Importance e Galveston
ana to Calcasiee parish Of regu-
lnr steam communication between
Lake Charles and Galveston, can
scarcely be uver-estimated. In
the FIRST place, if there were a
regular semi-weekly mail line, by
steam, on the route named, al the
trade now existing between The
upper part Of our parish and
Alexapdria and other points on
the Red River and its tributaries,
would come this way. This trade
is much larger than most Of
orr readers imagine Already I'll
amounts TO over one thousand
bales Of cotton annually, to say
nothing Of other products. 10
this would be added q large
share Of the trade already
existing between Galveston and
Lake Charles and other points Oh

France and CaICasIeU Direct
Lumber Trade.


We are gratified to learn from
Henry FlorenvilIe, who has recent
" returned here from visit to
France, that while there lie in
duced a French bark to come from
Havre to Calcasisu, for the sole
purpose Of procuring a sample
cargo Of our sawed lumber.
Atpresent the only direct Amer
lean expectation Of lumber to
France is from Pensacola, Flor
ida, and Pasoagoula, Mississippi !;
and this is mostly ii square.sticks.
The French bark win arrive
here within the next two weeks,
and if the sample cargo proves
satisfactory ia price and quality,
and tie venture shows that Ne
can compete successfully with tie
two aboye-named ports, Nh. Flor
enville is confident il will initiate
q large direct lumber trade be-
tween Ualoasieu and France.
As there Is no direct trade be-
tween Galveston aud France, the
proposed trade viii be materially
stimulated BY Che French vessels
engaged in il, bringing French ex-
ports direct 70 Galveston, on their
way hore. We earnestly hope
Mr- FIorenyille's efforts ID behalf
d our lumber interests may BE-
eminently successful.

Whe Fate of a President Wf
Despised thc Press
Cen. Grant has never Rad any
appeciation Of slIe newspaper
! erees Of this country Hs he.
/ never understood that, as a whole
| ii is the exponentof public opinion.
When lac came into Office there
was not single paper In this
great city. hardly one il this great
State, that was violently opposed
10 him. To-day there is not a
paper in the city that we can now
call to mind, except the CONNER
cial Advertiser with lis small cir
cl'lation, and tie Republic, with
it's still smaller circulation, that
yields to him ain unqualified sup
port,
The very establishment Of the
Republic, which we attribute to
the President through bis office
holding friends, affords the most
conclusive evidence of his entire
ignorance Of the whole subject Of
The press. Did he suppose that
people worshipped him, and that
a paper would have readers merely
because it exhibited The one dis
tinctiye feature Of praising every
thing that he might happen TODD?
He might have known, If he pos
sessed any knowledge on the sub
ject, that the Reptblic would have
no readers, and that a paper with
out readers could not have any
influence.
Gem Grant could have retained
the friendship Of the press by sim
ply deserving it. That WAS all iii
was necessary for linn TODD. But
we can hardly understand bow
any public man could be SO stu
pidlY blind, so utterly wanting iii
pre*cience, as not to perceive when
he had lost the support Of the en-
tire free press Of u free country
that his downfall was near at hand
Gen. Grant, however, seemed and
still seems to know nothing of this.
All warning voices were lost upon
his deaf ears. Politically he has
liedtas the fool dietb. The Times, |
HE Tribune, the Herald, The Sun, |
and the country udmonished him,
moderately at first, and, later, EN-.
ohaticallY Of the danger he was
n; but he Needed them not. He

1n his own destruction.

Household Hints.

One way not to keep warm IS to
drink freely Of hot drinks; to keep the
pores of the skin closed; to eat more
than can be digested; to sit over a hot
air furnace; to lace tightly; wear tight
garters, tight shoes, tight gloves, and
bundle up with ''heaps' Of warm cloth
ing; wear muffiers around the neck,
and avoid breath Of cool, fresh air !;
take wine or bitters before meals, and
pills to aid digestion after eating. Do
this daily, month or more, and you
will be as tender as tropical house
plant, and will take dreadful colds"
on the slightest exposure. Hot drinks
just before going out are especially ia
vorable to induce chills; and this is
about the way many are now trying to
cheat nature and to prolong a misera.
BILE existence.
Every bed in daily use should be sub.
jected to the purifying rays of the sun
at least once a week, and should be left
open for the reception of air and light
some time before being made up. Beds
not frequently used are often found
very musty and disagreeable to guests.
The parlor beds, that swallow their own
contents by magic touch, are fair
without, but in time, for the lack of
proper airing, they become foul within.

A Population for Alaska.

The Icelanders are in want of home.
They have ceased to relish their native
land, and, like the many thousands Of
Irish people whom our misrule has
driven from among us, they look to
America for new hope and new life.
Bad government is not, however, what
drives the Icelander from the home of
his fathers. They say-and we believe
truly-that since their ancestors colo
nlzed Iceland the climate has gradually
changed for the worse. sit has become
more and more barren,' and the coun-
try seems resolutely bent upon going
to the bad. 1t is now proposed that
the whole population of Iceland should
emigratc to North America. Five
hundred of them have settled in Can
ada and Wisconsin, but though they
like the winter of these places well
enough, they cannot stand the heat of
the summer. Some of them have con-
sequently represented their case to
President Grant. They allege that the
climate of the States under his author.
ity is too hot to be comfortable to them,
ollA iSh1AA tAdt III -1ldGhds lllC
vast territory coded by Russia to the
United States, there is climate which
would be neither too hot nor too cold.
and that if once the Icelanders were
satisfied that Alaska suited them they
would probably emigrate en- masse. In
order to satisfy themselves on this i'm.
portant point they asked that a gov
eminent vessel should be placed at
their disposal to convey three of their
number to'Alaska. The request has
been complied with. and three Iceland.
ers--two farmers and one journalist
have sailed in sloop of war to inspect
the Alaska territory. 4 most novel
expedition, truly. Should it turn out
satisfactorily from an Icelandic poin,
Of view. the next thing to follow will be
the total desertion Of our island neigh
bors of the extreme north. If the rep
reservations which have been made Of
it be true, it is not likely Iceland will
be ever again inhabited by human
beings.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
FANCY WORK WITH AUTUMN LEAVES.

The bright tints of autumn leaves
are very lovely for ornamcnting our
parlors, boudoirs, and dining tables.
Brackets and picture-frames can also
be adorned with them, and they greatly
add to the beauty Of ones surround
ings.
Collect large quantity, combining
every hue, from crimson to scarlet,
to yellow, and from yellow tc green.
The red beech and the beautifully vari-
egated sumach are very desirable, as
also are the oaks and ferns, but the
maple exceeds them all in the great va
riety of its tints and the various sizes
Of its leaves. Smooth every leaf on
the wrong side with moderately
warm iron, holding it upon the leaf
only minute. Then take a camel's
hail pencil and little olive oil and
carefully brush over every part of the
leaf. Place them on fat surface to
dry, and let them remain until the next
day.
For wiring these leaves into gar
lands, etc.. or for preparing them for
boquets, take the fine green-covered
reel wire, such as is always used in
manufacturing wax flowers. and attach
it around the stem, first laying it so
that it will extend the entire length of
the leaf to support it. Afterwards
wind around each stem to conceal the
wire, either narrow strips of green
tissue paper or brown Berlin worsted.
and join the leaves together in sprays
Of course the individual leaves on each
spray must be of the same species.
Prepare large number of these sprays
mounted on wires, and then arrange
them in vases, about picture frames,
over mirrors, and as ornaments to lace
curtains, and your apartments will pre-
sent festive appearance, although the
dreary winter weather las Drowned
the face of nature. Oak leaves, acorns
and brightly-colored beans, gummed
upon a cardboard frame, will make
handsome corner brackets, or wall
pockets and vases, to hold your beau
tiful leaves. The acorns and beans
ought first to be cut in half, when used
for this purpose.
