Good News.

, The first sign Of returning prosperity,
whetheS in. private or public affairs, is an
attempt to repair the damages produced by
bad times or bad management. In the case
| of tho individual the appearance of new
fences, new furniture, new clothing. instead
| of dilapidated, damaged and shabby ones,
testities to observers that business has
frightened; good job been obtained or q
large sum Of money due been received. So,
slso, with corporations and communities;
tho first faint breath OF, reviving confidence
eets into motion public improvements OF va.
rious kinds, mending bridges and pavements,
cleaning streets, repairing roads, etc. Ac
cordiDgly we hail. az o good in itself and
sign of better things to come, the initiatory
movement now making in the repair Of St.
Charles avenue. This thoroughfare, whose
rutty. sloughy, impassable, oath provoking
condition has so long disgraced our city,
has been regarded y.all the visitore called
here by business, pleasure or politics for
some years past as our representative road.
As st. Charles avenue, SO New Orleans, its
citizens, it's city government, it's enterprise,
its pecuniary condition. Two city admins
trations have been wrecked upon its sharp
protuberances. and hopeleesly shattered
and disabled, have been swallowed up in
its CULTS. Their bones cry out for Christian
burial, and their skeleton fingers wag warn
ings to the unwary few who dare it's dan
gers.
The incoming Of the present administrs,
tion inspired q hope that better days and
better ways were near; hope whose resli-
zation, through the energy of Hon. j. o.
Landry, Administrator of Commerce, is
already begun. This gentleman has taken
the first steps in the repairing Of st. Charles
avenue, and it is to be hoped that he will
have the active cooperation of his col
leagues in the city government. Much is
expected from Major E. A. Burke, Admins.
traitor of Improvements, Who. has spent
much time since lis induction into office in
the examination Of the. various kinds of
pavements used in and around Washington,
New York, Galveston and other cities.
Sach, at least, is the motive attributed by
his friends to his frequent journeys-that
they have been undertaken and pursued in
the interest of his constituents, and that
the citizens of New Orleans are shortly to
profit by the results Of his Jealous search
after information in these distant fields.
The pavements of Washington are indeed
unsurpassed, and if Major Burke's inquiries
and observations shall lead to giving us
roads approaching them in excellence our
citizens will have cause to rejoice at his
absences.

Nothing occurred in or around the State
Houee yesterday to mar the prospects OF
peaceful meeting Of the Legislature. Atan
early hour St. Louis, Royal and Charities
streets presented very lively appearance
from the large number of persons gathered
in them IN the immediate vicinity of the
State House. A large detail Of the police
Under Captain Lawlor was on hand to keep
order and prevent too great q crowd from
entering the halls Of legislation. When
Governor Kellogg, accompanied by Con
gressman Wheeler, drove to the State
House and was in the act of en-
tering through the Royal street entrance
to the executive department, the
crowd was 80 great that it was
difficult for the Governor and his dis.
tinguished friend to work their way into
the State House. But no unfriendly de
monstration was made; on the contrary,
the crowd seemed to be a good natured
one, attracted there by Q curiosity to see
the great pacifcator Of Louisiana's political
troubles, Mr.. Wheeler. Both branches of
the Legislature met and organized without
any trouble, or even an angry word being
uttered. In the House there was some
opposition made to the adoption of .
resolution authorizing the appointment
of q committee to inform the Cover
nor that the House was organized, and
ready to proceed to business; but the
resolution finally passed by hand
some majority, without causing any
angry feeling. In the Senate the same good
feeling was evinced. This is indeed re-.
markable inasmuch a. the Conservative
members were in full force in both houses.
If things continue in this way it looks very
much as if the Wheeler adjustment is going
to prove a success and that the political
troubles of Louisiana are coming to an end.
If the adjustment fails 1t will not be the
fault of Judge Wheeler. Nor do We believe
that Republican members OF the House will
throw an obstacle in the way of its beoom
ing complete success If it fails the cauee
must fest with those who may attempt to
take advantage Of the adjustment for the
purpose of getting office under it, which
will certainly demonstrate that preferment
and not patriotism was their motive after
all.

session. He had appealed and the House
refused to second the appeal. Was that q
ruling of the House that the rules of the
House were the rules governing this extra
sessioni
Speaker Hahn said that such was the
ruling, and that the rules had been adopted:
On Mr.. Guicbard's motion the resolutions
of Congress were referred to the same com.
mlttee without objection.
Mr.. Souer reported that the committee
had delivered ths message of the House to
the Governor, who had desired him to say
he would communicate with The House in
due time.
Mr.. Lowell said he hoped the House
would not adjourn till it received the mes
eages of the Governor aud knew what bills
were vetoed.
Speaker Hahn said he had received q
verbal message from the Governor that he
would send message in about five min
utes.
MIR. Stewart desired to know where the
award was.
speaker Hahn-Wh0t award.
Mr.. Stewart-The Wheeler award.
Speaker Hshn-As Speaker of the House
know nothing Of any award.
Several more members were sworn in at
this time.
Mr.. Stewart said he thought the award
ought to 60 to the committee, and the
proper way to get it there was to read it to
the House, have it spread on the minutes,
and then referred.
The House here received the veto mes

A writer in the National
Live Stock Journal gives his
idea on the subject,
Sheep pay better than any
other stock, no matter what
the kind of stock tits. I have
been feeding some 800 head Of
cattle, and / am satisfied that,
even with the most favorab Bile
condition for selling, when the
time comes, ] shall make a
great deal more money, dollar
for dollar, on the money in
vested in sheep, than / shall
make on the money invested
in cattle. / have about 500
sheep, running without any
particular attention or care,
and have sold 81 400 worth Of
wool of this years clip, and
have 26O lambs besides. I do
not think it possible to have
done so well on an equal capi-
tai invested in cattle. One
great advantages sheep have
over other stock is, they never
die of the contagious diseases
which they contract. They get
the scab or foot-rot or some-
thing else, and if not checked,
it gets them in q bad condi.
ton, and would ultimately,
perhaps, kill them. But the
very worst contagious disease
to- which sheep are subject,
give the owner ample time to
treat the affected animals, and
the diseases are generally Of a
character which yield readily
to treatment. But q man may
have a lot of hogs, and feed
them hundreds Of bushels of
corn daily, and about the time
the bottom of his cribs are
neared, and he is thinking Of
selling, some disease breaks
tout among thein-no sone
knows what it is or what to do
| for it-one animal after anoth-
Ter, following in rapid success
sion, is affected, and the great
er portion die. l have known
farmers to be well nigh ruined
by The appearance Of = conta-
gions disease of this character,
Sheep are happily exempt
from such rapid and fearful
mortality. Besides, when sheep
aies and they will die some.
times-h pelt is sufficient to
pay for his keep from the last
sheafing to his death. It makes
no, difference when he dies o.
what kills him, the sheep never
dies in debt.
