THE RECENT RAINFALL-Six inches and
a half OF rsinwater fell during twenty.four
hours ending Friday evening-half as
much as usually falls in any part of Eng
land in an entire year. Had there been
strong sOutherIy or easterly wind, lake
water would have been driven in, endanger-
ing the canal banks, as they were quite soft
from excessive moisture, and surface water
would have been forced back on the prop.
erty of residents who are called on to pay
drainage taxes. AS it was, people who
live between Claiborne street and MetairIe
ridge either had to wade or take skiffs.
Up TO dark last evening considerable water
remained outside the draining canals.
THERE IS A MARKET For THEM.-Withn
the past few months the police have made
frequent arrests of persons for stealing iron
cotton ties, mostly on the levee OF course
men would not piifer such a commodity I'M
less they could find purchaser. 1t seems
like an easy task for policeman to watch
one of the thieves and track him to the
fence" and then arrest the entire business.
The loss of bundle of these ties resulted
in O bitter law suit. A dealer III this city
shipped lot to planter on Red river, and
when the consignment was delivered one
bundle was missing. The carrier was called
on to make good the loss, but he felt sure
that he had performed his contract, and
had given up the exact number his clerk
had received on the boat. The dealer
kne " exactly how many his drayman left
pm the landing, and therefore declined to
Hubmt to reduction; hence tri angular
contest in court, where it is still pending.
The missing ties, it was subsequently ascer
tanned, had been stolen from our levee.
Break up the junk shops where such things
are bought, and half the evil is cured.

them they drew knives and declared that

MaximS of ROchefOucauld.

If we had no faults we should not
take so much pleasure in noticing them
in others.
IF we had no pride we should not
complain of it in others.
Whatever difference there may seem
to be between the fortunes of men there
is always a certain compensation of
good and evil that renders them equal.
One is never SO happy nor so unhap-
Ply as ono imagines himself to be.
Every one complains of his memory,
and no one complains of his Judgment.
We give nothing so literally as ad-
vice. It is much easier to be wise for
others than to be wise for ourselves.
It is the characteristic of great intel
lects to make many things to be under
stood In few words. Small minds, on
the contrary, have the gift of speak
ing much and saying nothing.
In order to know things we'll it is
necessary to know the details, and as
they are almost infinite our knowledge
is always superficial and imperfect.
However brilliant an action may be,
it ought not to be considered great when
it is not the effect of a worthy purpose.

Putting a Stop to Duelling.

A good story is told of how certain
French colonel put an end to duellinp
on the part of officers in his regiment.
This regiment was famous for the duels
it's officers fought among themselves
and with other parties. The matter.
however, grew to be such an annoy
ance that at last the authorities ap-
pointed new colonel. a man who, it
was expected, would stamp out all
nonsense. Very soon two officers APP
piled for permission to fight duel, aud
to the surprise of everybody it was
granted. aThe men went out, slightly
wounded each other, declared honor
satisfied and returned, The colonel
sent for them to come to him as soon
as they had recovered. "When Off
GERS fight, said he, g in the regiment
have the honor to command they kill.
Go The men went out again,
wounded each other severely, and were
six months recovering. Still again and
again they were sent out, till at last
they killed each other, and the practice of
duelling disappeared from that and
from many other regiments. The
story is told as suggestion to the fact
that many OF the European duels of the
day are not mortal in intention. If the
code insisted upon death in every in
stance, duels would be of extremely
rare occurrence, even in France.
