Our citizens should not mistake or under
rate the importance Of attending ward meet
ings and primary elections, and taking an
active part in the deliberations of the former
and in the conduct of the latter. Mistakes
made at these initial gatherings and convoca-
tons frequently pervade the entire State cam
paign, and are fruitful of disastrous results to
the party.
1t is not sufficient that our business men,
capitalists and real estate owners vote on cleo
ton day, they must attend the ward meetings,
take part in the shaping of the policy of the
party and have voice in the election of all
delegates supposed to be chosen by the peo-
pie. Even their presence at the meetings
would be of great benefit and advantage to
themselves as well as all others interested in
the redemption of the State.
This matter is of peculiar import just now
when we are on the verge of an election Of
delegates to most important convention, at
which questions of vital interest to US all will
be submitted and discussed. If weak or ig-
norant men are sent to this convention there
is every reason to fear that Louisiana will
again fall into the hands of our enc mics, and
what hope we now have of her ultimate re-
demption will be speedily dissipated.
This matter is one of individual concern to
every citizen of the State, and we trust they
will not fail to give it their serious cousidera-
ton. Attend ward meetings, vote and use
your influence at the primaries, and you will
have cause to congratulate yourselves on the
result

The Sun is inclined to disparage Stanley'G
ability and achievements, while some other
papers compare him with Livingstone, to the
disadvantage of the latter. Neither course is
either generous or just. Livingstone did his
work well and his fortitude and enterprise
entitle him to the worlds grateful homage.
Stanley will very likely produce larger re-
suits. The two men were totally unlike,
both in their ambitions and their methods.
Livingstone was a missionary. Stanley is an
explorer and reporter. Livingstone's primary
ambition was religious; SANKEY'S is wholly
secular.
Livingstone started for the purpose of re-
vealing the outside world to Africa; Stanley
started for the purpose of revealing Africa to
the outside world. Livingstone was far more
careless about his diary than his pagan SER
want was; Stanley sends an army to fight its
way through hostile country to carry letter
to a newspaper Livingstone was champion
of Christianity, but Stanley is a soldier OF
science. If he lives, Stanley will trace the
Nyanza to the Nile, the Lualaba to the Congo,
and turn the heart of the Dark Continent In
side out.-Gr0phjc.

1t will be remembered that, few months
ago, the composer Gounod was invited to &C
cept the direction of the new Academy of
Music at New York, and that he declined the
invitation on the conventional pleas of age,
want of leisure, etc. But truer explanation
may be found in a recent piece of literary
gossip which about this time is attracting
readers in Paris and London. 1t appears that
Gounod suffered severely for some years from
female friendship. In statement of truly
phenomenal sort the woman in question,
Mrs. Weldon by name, says -" NJ Gounod is
the sort of champion best fitted for woman
like me- on account of his bad health and of
the torments which he causes by his childish
behavior"
The logic of this opinion may not be clear
to the run of readers. but it is in her want of
logic that Mrs. Weldon is strongest. It will
be noted, too that the lady's French is of an
ambiguous sort; but that is no killing mat
ter She goes on to say in this statement of
their disagreement: g My character, essen
italy material, and endowed with frmness
enough to manage any one whatever, was
deeply interested in the direction of this VI.
Gounod's) mind-at once diseased and per.
feet" 1t does not need very strong imagin-
alton to picture the poor man under this sort
of affectonate surveillance; this care of
maternal sort of an English female who knew
better what was right for his perfect aud
diseased mind than he did himself.

The interview with Senator Bayard, says a
Northern Independent paper, which We pub
lished some days ago, deserves regard, both
from the high character of the Senator him
self and the straightforward way in which
his opinions are expressed. The Senator is
not borrowing any trouble on the subject of
the Presidency but it is undeniable that he
is one Of the two or three most prominent
candidates in his party, and the one against
whom the least hostility is at present concen-
trated. The Bayard family has rendered hon
orable and conspicuous public service through
three generations, and it's present representa-
tive is more than unfolding the honor OF the
old name. The Democratic party has no
purer or ADLER man, and Congress no more
faithful Senator. Atlanta Ne1rs.

The command of Gen. Ord is gaining great
credit for the activity and efficiency of its ser
vices along the Rio Grande, but the same old
complaint is still heard, that the force could
do much better, were it not hampered by in
structions from Washington. The only way
to fight the Mexican marauders successfully
is under orders from the saddle and not from

THE COST OF THE FIRE DEPART
MENT.

In our report of the interview between DR..
Tebault and the Republican Committee, oc.
ours this passage:
Bray, continuing. said that he was in favor Of
reducing every State officer to salary of 5000
per aDnum. He was in favor Of still further re-
duction. The Fire Department Of the city re-
celved $26O 600 year; paw department could
be run on $4,000. This fire department was the
head and front of the Democratic party; without
it they 1.-THE Democratic partly would lose their
hold.
Mr. Bray is a member of the Republican
State Central Committee, and in the absence
of the Lieutenant Governor, President of the
Police Board. His statement respecting our
Fire Department being erroneous, we give a
few corrective facts and figures taken from
OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
The amount appropriated in the budget for the
$260,000 as stated by MIR. Bray.
OF this amount, the Fire Department of New
Orleans (proper), First, Second Third and
Fourth Districts should receive $40 000 For this
sum, it furnishes, at its o1H cost, all Of the ma
chinery, paraphernalia, ETC., of the department
The city is now indebted to the association
about the sum of 100000
The department has been running on half-pay
since 1st July.
In the settlements made with the city, during
the last six years. the association has lost in de-
probation of securities received, interest, dis
counts, ETC., $150,000.
Compared with the cost of the departments of
other large cities, it is the cheapest department
in the United States.
The department is not connected with any po-
itical party. 1t knows no distinction of party,
creed or nationality.

An Honest Dog.

lFrom the Boston Herald, November a.
As Mr.. Thomas w. Lane, Of the Uni
'ed States p''Stal car service, was gun.
ming on Tuesday last in West Roxbury,
he was surprised to see his dog, full
blooded English setter, bring and de-
posit at his feet large pocket book,
which, upon examination proved to
contain S425 in currency. aome papers
of value, and some car tickets. The
name Of Mr.. Langley, Of Cambridge
port was within the book, and Yesterday
Mr.. Lane proceeded to Cambridge in
quest of the gentleman. There he
found him, and learned that he had
been cunning in that locality on Mon
day, and had met with the above losa.
and after frHitless search had given il
up. departing for home firmly impressed
that he w"nId be Obliged 10 charge the
same to his profit and loss account at
the end Of the next year. Mr.. Lane
delivered the property to its owner, who
received it with surprise and delight.
Mr.. Langley desired Mr.. Lane To ac-
cept a suitable bonus for the lucky
fnd, which Mr. Lane refused. There.
upon Mr.. langley insisted upon making
the dog present of thirty dollars, to
be invested in silver collar.

Old Yirginian Hospitality.

remember a case in which a neigh
Dor of my own, a very wealthy gentle
man whose house was always open and
always full of guests, dying, left each Of
his children a plantation. To the eld-
est son, however, he gave the home
estate, worth three or four times as much
as any of the other plantations, and
with il he gave the young man also
large sum of money. But he charged
him with the duty of keeping open
house there at all times, and directed
that the household affairs should be
conducted always precisely as they bad
been during his own lifetime, and the
charge well nigh outweighed the inner
itance. The new master of the place
lived in Richmond, where he was en-
gagged in manufacturing, and after the
death of the father the old house stood
tenantless, but open as before. Its troops
of softly shod servants swept and busted
and polished as of old. Breakfast. din
ner. and supper were laid out every day
at the accustomed hours, under the old
buffers supervision, and as the viands
grew cold his silent subordinates wait

one of the younger sons, who lived else
where, or with some relation of the

But onr coming or not was a matter OF
indifference. Guests knew themselves
always welcome, but whether guests,
came or not the household affairs suffer-
ed no change. The destruction of the
house by FIRE finally lifted this burden
from its owners shoulders, as the will
did not require him to rebuild. But
while it stood its masters large inherit

Debts.

Debts are stern realities and often
darkly -hadow existence. Through the
warp of life's silvery fabric they are
interwOven az a black n0of unwound
from the shuttle Of pride. extravagance,
and want Of judgment, and even princi.
pie. 1t IL more than doubtful If any
one ever ought To go into debt. Each
can and ought to earn enough for all
necessities. Unnecessary and luxurious
wants may be labOred for. but should
never be obtained through debt. When
a human being il helpless and depend
ent, charity should be extended, and it
should be considered no dishonor to re-
ceive it. The whole ground is covered
by the Bible Injunction: "Owe no man
anything but TO love one another"-
freedom from Indebtedness and abound
ing in charity. Debt discounts the fu-
tnre, wastes in the present. and pays a
high premium while still carrying the
risk. Its machinery adds new depart
ment to labor; with NO net advantage.
Evils and evils only follow in its train.
The world would be the better of we're
it wiped from existence.
