An Englisl paper SAYS

An English paper says
tits an amusing speculation 10 look
back and compute what number Of
men and women among the ancients,
dubbed their endeavors to the produc-
ton of single modern. Thus, pre-
sent nobleman, for instance, is I; father
and mother were :; his grandfathers
and grandmothers were 4; hi8 great
grandiathers AID great -grandmothers
were s; the next predecessors will
count 10; and at the twenty-irst re-
move, the figures reach the astounding
number Of I,o4S,576. Here are only
computed twenty-one generations
which, allowing three generations to
one hundred years, carry us back no
farther than the Norman Conquest, at
which time each present nobleman-to
exclude all ignoble blood from his
veins-ought to have had one million,
iorty-eight thousand five hundred and
seyenty-six noble ancestors! Garry
this reckoning back three hundred
years farther, and the number amounts
10 above Eye hundred millions, which
are more than exist at any one time
upon the earth, and shows that the
pretension OF such purity OF blood in
ancient families is mere joke"

less made allusion when he spoke Of
those Greeks who spent their time in
nothing else but either TO tell or TO hear
some new thing" Bu: metropolitan
correspondents really owe their exiS-
teace rs class to Julius Caesar, whose
whole being was divided between am
bitioa and glory. He naturally cons;-
dered the latter as - ephencral, so
long as his deeds were not recorded,
and having q taste for literature, he
wrote "Commentaries." There were,
however limits TO self praise, and
Caesar conceived the idea Of having
dailybudgcts Of news sent from Rome,
SO written as 70 cxtol him before the
people.
The first known metropolitan cor
respondent was Chraestus, . quick
wittel nercurial fellow, who had an
interview with Caesar every morning
after the Emperor came from the bath,
and had received the reports Of his
civil and military officers. Having
thus obtained this one the correspon-
dent went home and dictated his "qic-
ciam" to his scr;bes. y more perfect
specimen Of metropolitan corrcspon-
dence has not since been produced.
There were the imperial edicts, brief
reports Of the debates in the Senate.
registers OF marriages, divorces, deaths
and funerals, descriptions OF new pub
lie buildings, pufIs Of gladiatorial dis
plays and even the witty sayings Of
Cicero.
In time metropolitan correspon-
dents were feature OF the capitals Of
Europe, and historians now find much
valuable information in their manu-.
script letters, many OF which have
been preserved. The invention of
printing put an end to professional
letter writing, but it was not long be-
fore neatly-worded paragraphs were
sent from London in the Spectator,
the Tattler, or the Rambler, and IS
these essays were succeeded by the
newspaper. metropolitan correSpon-
dents were again in demand. The let
ters now written at the different CAPT
tails OF the Gid World for publication
furnish complete and valuable histo-
ry OF passing events. --HarPey's for

| POLITICAL NOTEs.-AccOunts from
all portions Of the parish represent
the Republican clubs thoroughly OF
ganized and prepared for short, Wig
orous campaign that will tell against
their opponents immensely. Keep
the ball rolling, and remember the
last words of Gov. Dunn:
Tell the boys to stick together!"
We caution our Republican friends to
carefully guard against all words or
actions that might foment disturbance
OF bitter feeling. Let us have quiet,
earnest campaign, depending upon
the justice of our cause to overcome
those who are arrayed against us, ra-
ther than upon the villitication of OPP
ponents or the creation of partisan
prejudice. The public records of the
leading boilers need only to be shown
up to condemn them in the estimation
OF the honest voters Of all classes, so
personal examinations and recrimina-
tions should be avoided as far as pos
sible. A cause which has for its ar
gument only abuse of individuals can
not command the respest of fair
minded men. Our contest is one for
the triumph of principles rather than
the personal vindication Of one set Of
men and the denunciation of another,
and upon this basis the campaign
should be prosecuted.
We learn that the boilers have Or
gained parish executive committee,
but no publication thereof has yet
been made. Whether the same I'M
authorized use Of names was INDUCED
III to secure a full committee as was
resorted to to fill up their recent nom
mating convention, remains to be
seen.
Hon. Pierre Landry is making an
active canvass i'll both parishes Of the
Senatorial District, and if he is not
elected it will not be for want Of hard
work. The disposition of the Con-
sentative voters toward Mr.. Landry
seems to be very favorable, aud if no
straight Democratic ticket is put in
the field, he will poll a large white
vote.
