To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
There are some people who seem to
need the constant admonition of
some one. They either do not take
a common sense view of things or
take no view at all. We will give
an instance. An agent for some
kind of q sewing machine may call
on the good woman OF the house
and desire to show her the machine
he represents. He brings it in, and
if he is a good operator viii amaze
her with the perfectness of his
work, and convince her, by his talk,
that it is the best machine in use.
She does not think that the best al
ways sells the most-if sold at the
same price as the inferior articles.
She does not even think that a ma
chine which cannot sustain its repu-
tation and whose sales decrease one
half in a year, must have some de-
fects which will, sooner or later,
cause her machine to prove useless.
She perhaps forgets that there IS
one Sewing Machine Company
whose machines, for years and years,
have steadily increased in popular
ity and in sales until it has nearly
reached the point of selling as many
machines as all of the twenty-five
or thirty different Companies put
together. Why has it done this
Because it had the best machine

UNFORTUNATE. - The workmen on
the new Baptist Church were busy
during the early part of the week in
getting the rafters into position, and
up to Wednesday noon had elevated a
dozen pairs to their proper places. At
this stage of their labor, a gay rope
broke and down came the heavy tim
bers with a tremendous crash, falling
back over the rear part Of the build
ing. The rafters are very long and
heavy, as the pitch of the roof, which
is in the Gothic style, is at q sharp an
gle. All of the workmen were pres
ent at the time, and some Of them
were on the walls, but we are glad to
state that no one was in any way in
jured. The accident viii cause some
delay, but beyond this no injury was
done. The walls of the building were
uniDiured.

Mr.. F. was not sufficiently skilled in

bird he had shot, but he brought it
into the city, aud it was at once recog-
nized as a pelican. As all who are IA
miIar with this bird know, it is larg-
er than the swan, and is remarkable
tor its enormous bill, to the lower
edges of the outer chop of which is
attached a pouch, capable of holding
many quarts of water, when fully
distended. In this pouch the bird
deposits the fish it takes for food.

A WANING INTEREST.

1t is probable there will not be the deep
interes. felt in the next election in this
State which usually attaches to such an
event. In the first place there will be
but one State Office to be filled, and but
few parochial positions, including, we be-
ieve, both sheriffs. There may or may
not be municipal vacancies. The bill
postponing the election for city Admins
traitors remains in the Governors possess
sion unsigned, and We are not informed
whether he intends to approve it or not
Thus there will be little incentive to con-
test for Offices.
It is true an election for Senators and
Representatives in the General Assembly
will take place; but under the modern
practice, introduced under the pres
ent administration, seat in the Legisla-
ture is worth eight dollars a day for sixty
day, and not much more. At the last ses-
sion, when we had very weak delegation
from the city, number Of corrupt coun-
try members sold number of contracts
and jobs to various parties, but the re-
suits were generally unsatisfactory, and
the example is not very likely to be fol-
lowed. We have positive advices from the
country that at least half dozen of these
unfaithful servants will be left at home at
the fall election and honest men sent in
their places. This is right When men,
Der SO far abuses the power con6ded to
him as to turn it to his own emolument,
he ought to be thankful that he gets off
with simple dismissal from service.
The tendency of the time is to cutdown
official emolumonts and decrease the
number Of hands employed to do one
mans work. Conducting business by
deputy is becoming unpopular. Thus,
as the crop prophets say, there is every
reason to expect decline in prices of all
political appliances. Votes of delegates
in nominating convention will scarcely
be salable at any price, since nomina-
ton by any convention will by no means
be equal to an election. Political mana
gers will not rate very high, and So
called leaders will be estimated at about
one vote each, in cases where they have
character enough to command their own.
The opposition foresee these things
plainly enough, and are already suffering
from apathy in consequence. No one is
willing to put up money for sentiment,
and as there is nothing else in sight, all
attempts to organize party opposed to
the Republicans have signally failed.
There is not enough prospective patron
age in sight to defray the campaign ex-
penses of one ward. Even the tempta-
ton recently held out of hiring young
men out of employment as substitutes on
vigilance committees failed to receive
second from any Of the well to do gentle
men whose money was the object of the
proposition. On the whole, then, we may
expect reasonably quiet summer, and if
the floods subside in time, and Boston
and Congress continue their magnificent

~ DaE ABELLS LECTURE TO MR. CLIN-
TON.

JUDGE ABELL's LECTURE TO NIB. CLIE-
TON.
The, Judge of the First District Court
took occasion, on Monday, while passing
upon an application for rehearing of the
case against Mr.. Clinton, to indulge in
what was doubtless intended for ''good
scolding" A newspaper, professedly
frie ndly to Judge Abel, very indiscreetly
published what purports to be report of
the Judges remarks Unfortunately,
there are evidences in the production
W hich strengthen the suspicion that the
reporter was faithful to his duty. Before
such TRADE as that the head reporter of
a police gazette may well stand amazed.
He would be powerless to improve it, and
establishment would but spoil its effect.
1t amounted really to an assault upon a
helpless mana prisoner at the bar, who
might even be talked to death and yet not
be allowed the luxury ofjawing back. No
other judge in Louisiana, perhaps none
in the known world, could produce such
an address. There was man who lived
in London few years ago that once came
near it in style, but his best effort looks
fe eble beside it. His name was Douglass
Jer rold, and he chose Mrs. Caudle as the
organ of his wit. Truth, however. beats
fiction at last. Mr.. Clinton probably felt
Inundated under the pelting of Judge
Abell's lecture, not so much on his own
account as for the credit of the judiciary.

We wish to note that we do not make
any comparison between the merits of
these different lines between the same
great terminal cities; nor do we pretend
to exact accuracy in the cost of these
roads. We have taken twenty-five or
thirty thousand dollars per mile as
the average rates of construction, and ap-
piled them as the probable cost and
amount of work under them properly ap-
plicable. Our object is only to show that
with the vast amount of between thirty
five and forty millions of dollars invested,
and the roads all in condition to do more
business without additional expense, the
expenditure necessary to turn this Ameri-
can, and probably Central American bust
ness upon them would be small. We shall
even attempt to make it appear that the
share of each company in the added trade
for one year would more than cover its
quota of even an absolute loss on the out
lay necessary to make the experiment,
For, suppose that the cost Of hiring and

There is noting extravagant or improb-
able in these figures, and they show that
the business which the road will get from
this connection with Mexico will indem-
nifty each for its experimental contribu-
ton, even if the experiment were at
tended with the loss suggested
THE PLAN PROPOSED.
These railroad companies should meet
in convention. They should agree to
put on steam between New Orleans and
Vera Cruz on common account and at
common expense. They should appeal to
the Congress of the United States and of
Mexico to aid them with subvention or
to make up weekly or semi.monthly
mail and give them the postages The
companies should discuss the question
whether the contribution to establish this
ferry should be rated upon the compare
tive length of rail belonging to each to
be traversed by the common bust
ness, or the comparative investments
Of each, or any other rate of contri-
button which may be deduced from such
discussion. This determined there should
be special act Of incorporation for this
New Orleans and Vera Cruz mail and
merchandise transportation company, in
which each company should be assigned
stock according to its contribution. This
stock might be paid out by each company
with its own bonds, or by indorsing con-
struction or other bonds of the common
company. Each would thus be only
responsible for the payment or guarantee
OF its own subscription. The joint COM
pany might either buy build or hire
steamers for the enterprise. The gain
from such common, work would amply
repay each company for any outlay or risk
necessary to make the enterprise perma-
nent or experimental
We commend these suggestions to the
inboard line of travel and transportation
between New Orleans and New York.
We do not deprecate discussion or even
criticism. Let the subject receive the in
it deserves, and we are salts
led that all these railroad companies can
Is we'll put on these ferryboats as the
Pennsylvania Central or Baltimore and |
Ohio roads can build lines of ocean steam
rs as part of their rolling stock. There
ire incidental considerations, such as
putting this travel and specie first into
he interior cities of New Orleans, Mobile;
Baltimore, Richmond and
Philadelphia, and turning the connecting
Dads of the West upon these lines, which
will occur to all practical minds. These
it is unnecessary here to de-
'elope.
In the repeated delays and failures to
ecure line of steamers by the influence
# our city, We have decided to appeal to
n investment of forty millions of dollars
nd a congressional vote of more than
linety members. Let us hear from the
ompanies.
