AN ECCENTRIC MANAGER.

In MS memoirs OF q JOurn8l1St, NllItIues-
SAINT, the editor of the Paris Figaro, tells some
amusing stories about the late Nestor Rogue
plan, when he was manager Of the Paris Varl-
cites. Roqueplan was wit and "man
about town." and although generally success
full in his theatrical ventures, he had a perfect
horror for the business. One of his greatest
aversions was the hearing OF manuscript plays,
and Villemessant relates how on one occasion
he was brought to bay by an enterprlsing
playwright who, seeing him in the act of shaw
ing himself at second-story window, pro-
cured ladder, and then and there compelled
him to listen to his three-act effusion.
Many years ago Sardou and Siraudin, who
were then both unknown to fame, and who
were anxious to bring out vaudeville at
Roqueplan's theater, so closely pursued the
eccentric manager that he finally took refuge
in country-house near Paris. Just as he
was congratulating himself on this nice bit
of strategy and enjoying his "otium cum
diqnitate" under the shade Of a spreading
beech, his merciless literary enemies climbed
over the garden wall and coming unperceived
behind him securely fastened him to the
tree and began reading their play to the cap
tive manager. Roqueplan refused to listen
to the piece but compromised the matter by
pledging his word to accept it as ransom for
his release from durance vile.
Roqueplan afterwards became manager Of
the Grand Opera, although he pretended to
have the most profound aversion for music.
He was not a man to be trified with, how
ever, as his subcrdinaIes soon found out, the
irrepressible tenor or barytone being at once
made to understand that he WIS no King
Log Bohemian of the press, who had
been in the habit of blackmailing all his pre-
decessors, having written to him rather
peremptory letter demanding 'hush money,
Roqueplan stuck twenty franc bank-note to
the end OF his walking cane, and thus presented
it to the astonished Bohemian in the presence
| OF all the "habitues Of the "foyer de Ia
danse."
When he was at the Varieties, his stage
manager-who suffered very badly-beceme
infected with the cacoethes scribendi, and in
sisted upon reading to him five act comedy.
As Roqueplan could not dodge him quite SC
easily as his brother dramatists, he submitted
with apparent good grace to the infliction'
At the end of the third act, however, he
sprung from his chair and warmly grasped
the author by the hand, saying: "Why, u,
this is capital! There is quite an original
idea in your play-something quite funny and
taking, I declare! This father, this young
lady, this valet, this soubrette, this lover, who
all stutter !" "But, Mr.. Roqueplan," ex
planned the crestfallen stage manager, "they
do not stutter at all. It's only my own In
trinity" "Ah is that SOP" replied the i'm
perturbable Roqueplan, "well, then, the play
does not suit me at all-take it somewhere
else"

SCIENTIFIC FARMING.

There is no fact which has been more
thoroughly established in our own day than
the absolute necessity under which all who
are engaged in manufacturing or agricultural
pursuits are now placed to keep abreast OF
modern science in its countless applications
to every branch of human industry. This
truth was forcibly illustrated by that eminent
American scientist, Mr.. David A. Wells, in
the extremely able address he made few
DAYS ago as President of the National Social
Science Association, now in session at De-
troit.
His first proposition was that never before
in the history Of the world has man, through
the control which he has obtained over the
forces of nature, been able to produce SO
much with a given amo unit of personal effort.
This Mr.. Wells illustrates by the statement
that in Great Britain alone the force evolved
through the com oustion of coal and applied
through improved machinery is equivalent to
the muscular power of at least one hundred
millions of men. In other words, that the re-
suit attained through scientific progress, ap-
piled to manufacturing, is the same as II the
actual laboring population Of Great Britain
had been increased twelve fold, without neces-
Skating any corresponding increase u pro-
duction for the support and sustenance OF
this additional labor.
Although not quite so startling IN l1s re-
suits, the application of science to agriculture
has also vastly increased the productive power
of mankind. Leaving out OF the question
the steam pillow and the mechanical reaper
with which last-named agricultural implement
the farmer with a pair of horses does the work
which twenty men, working from early morn
to dewy eve, could not have performed nal,
as well-the genius OF the Liebigs, the Bous-
singaults, the Humphrey Davys, and George
Villes has taught the planter, farmer or gar
dener how to restore worn out and barren
lands to more than their original fertility, by
simply restoring to them, in the shape
of chemical or "commerciaT fertilizers,
all the essential elements of which they have
been deprived by q long course OF exhaust
i've and unscientifc cultivation. Materials
that were formerly regarded as an incum-
brance and thrown away as valueless, are now
invested with great commercial Importance
and when properly prepared, become the
most powerful adjuncts OF the intelligent
apriculturist. Bones. the blood, horns, hoofs
ana other remains of slaughtered CATTLE are
no longer pitched into the nearest stream
whose waters they uselessly polluted, but
after being carefully gathered and manipu-
lated, become the most valuable OF all fertii-
izers.
In this very city two manufactures nave
been started and are doing much to re-
vive our dropping planting interest we

CITY FINANCES.


We regard the resolution Of the Admins
traitor of Improvements, Major Burke, offered
and adopted at the adjourned meeting OF the
Council, On Friday last, as containing germ
which may be developed into something Ike
practical relief for our sadly pressed and
overburdened city. In other words, the reso-
luton, it appears to us, proposes to take the
financial bull by the horns and not to attempt
any longer to escape its incessant and impetu-
GUS assaults
As they say in California, it proposes to
oome down to "the bed rock, and, recog-
MIXING the very patent (however distressing)
fact that the expenditures of the city are
greatly in excess of its revenues from all
sources, i. conteaplates such sweeping re-
auctions in all departments, and in every
direction, as will Lring relief, unless there
is developed factious and unreasoning
opposition on the part OF those who are or
ought to be as deeply interested in the sue
cess and prosperity of New Orleans as any
of us.
As We understand it the exhibit contem-
plated by the resolution having been carefully
prepared, and it being ascertained exactly just
what expenses are absolutely necessary to
discharge the functions of the city govern
ment, and what its revenues are, it is the
intention of the Trainer of the resolution to
seek that relief by consent Of the parties in
interest, which was rendered impossible by
the failure of the Legislature to pass the
necessary relief measures.
We take it that every creditor Of the city
the police, the sheriffs, the clerks Of court,
and. in short, everybody who derives COM
pensation or expects to derive it, under any
contract or legislative enactment-will, under
existing circumstances, when the city is
threatened with financial ruin, and when to
press her or attempt to force her, by legal
means, to pay more than she has the means
to meet, would be disastrous to every one,
will not be slow to come forward and make ar
rangement with the city that will most con-
duce to the general welfare.
When the city herself setst the example of
rigid economy; when every useless officer
and employee is discharged; when all leaks
are stopped and the expenses are cut down
to the lowest possible figure consistent with
the public health and protection-then il
seems to us, the police, and all the other
bodies, corporations and interests whatso-
ever, will be forced to come in and make
similar concessions and reductions in their
demands and in their rights.
We hope this scheme will be given fail
trial and that every possible effort will be
made to carry it through successfully, SO that
if it should fail we may at least have the
satisfaction of knowing just who stood II
the way of its successful accomplishment.
Should all the contemplated reductions be
made voluntarily, the amounts to bs collected
from the taxpayers, it is estimated. would not
be over one and o half or one and three quar-
ters par cent, which we confidently believe
would be cheerfully and promptly paid.

caused sensation, and many depositors in other

LOUISIANA BENEVOLENT LIVE STOCK INSURANCE
CoMPANY.-This organization is not an expert
ment, neither is it visionary, lmpracticable
scheme. Based, as it is, upon the English,
French and German systems OF insuring live
stock, a system that has stood the test OF many
years practical operation and met with legitimate
success, the Louisiana Benevol Mt Live Stock
Insurance Company is combination OF the
European methods, and must necessarily prove
OF great benefit to the assured as well as being
profitable to the insurer.
The rates in Paris are eight francs per one
hundred francs insurance, making 50 in our
money for 800 insurance. The rates OF the
Louisiana Benevolent Live Stock Insurance
Company range from to 10 per cent, tho vsria-
tons on this tariff depending to a grea extent
upon the age and condition OF the animal in
tured, as well as the nature OF the labor the
animal has to perform. The statistics OF the
European Live Stock Insurance companies de-
monstrate the percentage OF deaths to be from
twenty to thirtytive in every one thousand in
sured the comparative small percentage OF
deaths, mainly resulting from the careful
selection Of risks. and the monthly in
spection Of the live stock insured, the
strict conditions of the policy, the two
thirds insurance upon the money value OF the
animal, and the prompt and skIlful medical aid
OF the companys surgeon. The Louisiana
Benevolent Live Stolk Insurance Company have
adopted the Sc features, besides others OF pracl-
cal benefit, and offers to the assured prompt pay
ment OF loss security against acci tents disabling
the live stock and the gratuitous services OF the
veterinary surgeon Of the company. IN addition
to this, the assured has no assessments to pay
whatever, the payment of his premium guaran-
teeing one yeats insurance ON the st ok insured.
