A WISE SON.-A young man, the son of
a piOus minister of the gospel, was asked to
become manager of ball. His friend In
sisted that he should; but be said, "No, how
could wound my fathers feelings in such a
manner? And how would it look for my
father to be trying to lead souls to heaven,
and his son leading them in path, that leads
them to death"

THE QUARANTINE HUMBUG.

We hope the Governor will-so far, at
least, as the stupid enactment creating the
quarantine permits-do away with that monu-
ment Of combined charlatanism and igorance
known as the "Quarantine p" law. Every en-
lightened government in Europe has long ago
repudiated the medieval absurdity, and it is
sad commentary on the United States that
such obsolete restrictions on trade are still
allowed to remain on our statute books.
The idea that the yellow fever, or any other
epidemic can nowadays be excluded by
quarantine regulations has been demonstrated
to be a fal]acy by that surest OF all tests-that
Of experience. The uniyersal-we might
almost say, the unanimous opinion OF the
most reputable members Of the medical pro-
fession all over the world is against it. The
only result of the carrying out OF this
"Voudou enactment in Louisiana is to add
another heavy drag to the many which stand
in the way of the commercial interests OF New
Orleans The Governor has been invested
by that foolish enactment with ample powers
to shear it Of most of its obnoxious features,
and if, after consulting with the men who
are Justly recognized here as best qualified to
give an enlightened opinion upon the ques-
ton, he should come to the conclusion that
s.auarantine is a mischievous humbug, we
will not be slow to award to him his due need
Of praise, particularly as the law we protest
against was engrafted upon our statutes by
an ante bellum Legislature, in which SSH
delism " inconveniently predominated.
A protest against this absurd and eminently
hurtful piece of amateur legislation appears
in our columns this morning, over the names
of the most, if not of all the most eminent
physicians Of this city. We hope their strong
q most timely appeal will be needed "where
it will do most good
That city SO sorely crippled as is New Or
leans by onerous port and towage charges,
and BY the natural obstacles at the mouth Of
the river. should sanction or permit the en-
forcement Of quarantine which experience
has proven to be not only ineficacious but
calamitous in many ways, is one of those puz-
zles which no fellow can be expected to I'M
derstand, and which must continue to excite
the wonderment of intelligent and thinking
men. It is time that this burden which has
weighed SO heavily upon US in the past should
be thrown of. Let the Board Of Health take
the matter under serious consideration, and
backed up by such an array Of names OF the
most eminent physicians, decline to request
the Governor to issue the usual blighting

THE COST OF EUROPEAN ARMIES

1t is stated that Prussia can take the field
with $4,000 soldiers, Russia with 100000,
France with G3G,OOO, Austria with 562, 600,
Italy with $40, 600. England with go, 0OO-ag-
gregating over 100000. 1t costs oh an av-
erage $500 to maintain each soldier in time Of
peace, or a cost to Europe Of $4,000, 900, O0o
To support these 100000 Of non-producers
is required an enormous contribution, which
comes inevitably and directly out Of the la
boring classes. After their own subsistence
and that Of their families, the labor of adult
males end females in Europe does not afford
a surplus of more than probably $50 year.
Each soldier, then, absorbs the profits Of the
labor of sixteen grown men and women, or an
aggregate of 100000 Of people. Thus the
soldiers, who are virtually the slaves Of their
military sovereigns, compel much larger num-
bers of their countrymen to become slaves in
order to support armies High civilization,
Improvement, physical comfort, or any man
nor Of Advancement, is impossible under con-
dtions SO adverse.

THE CENSUS.

Under the provisions of an act of the Legis-
lature the census of the State is now being
taken. The census of 1870 was not truthful
exhibit of the relative white and colored pop
ulation, and was otherwise incorrect. We
hope that those now having the matter in
charge will endeavor to obtain as correct in
formation as possible, and make correct
compilation Of the same.
Heretofore the census has been taken at a
time when great many OF our people were
absent from the State. At this time Of the
year few have lett for the summer resorts,
and, therefore, the present census-takers have
an advantage over their predecessors.
We hope that the present census is under
the supervision and control of more trust
worthy parties than was the previous one,
and that we may not be disappointed in our
expectations to have a reliable census.
We do not believe that the white and col
ored population Of the State are so nearly
equal as shown by the last census. There is
no doubt that truthful compilation will
show an excess Of whites. Heretofore, when
there has been any dispute about the relative
vote Of the two political parties in this State,
the census has been referred to as authority
an authority VIGOROUSLY false.
We hope that our citizens will cheerfully
give all the information required of them, SO
that the census-t,kers, if disposed to do JUS
tice in the matter, may have an opportunity
If nresentino rs the result of their laborS
truthful statement of our population.

Mr.. David Bidwcll:
Although contrary TO Your often expressed wishes
large number Of Your friends and admirers still
cherish desire to tender you substantial
compliment.
Your whole course as manager of the Academy OF
Music during the long period of over twenty years
cannot otherwise than have challenged public apprs
baton.
We are all indebted to You for many pleasant
"reminiscences connected with Your successful admin.
straton, and besides this entertain the most
kindly feelings toward YOU in your capacity
a public spirited, enterprising and liberal
citizen, YOU being, We believe, the only
resident manager Of our city, and one who has
shared with onr prosperity and sdversity. 1t is
tit therefore, at this time that you should afford the
desired opportunity of giving these sentiments ex
pres SION and if in accordance with your nclinations
respectfully suggest that yon in order to give all
classes an opportunity of participating in the pro
posed testimonial, set aside a day when you can
present a matinee and evening performance for this
purpose.
We feel confident in the assurance that the event
will prove Of mutual qualification. Certainly
the labor Of making it will BE- accepted entirely
