We notice that some of our ex-l
changes are com amending the action
of the Police Jury of the parish of
Lafourche in requiring the Tax
Collector to make monthly settle
ments with the Parish Treasurer and
to take an oath that all the scrip or
certificates Of parish Indebtedness
proffered in each settlement were re-
ceived By him from tax or license
payers direct. We concur in the ap-
proval expressed of this action, but
We desire to call attention to the fact
that similar ordinance has been in
effect in this parish nearly two years,
and it is more than probable that the
Lafourche Police Jury got. the idea
from Ascension.

The Fleta Raised-She Strikes the Same

Sinking off for New Orleans. It'll Hill, :.
Last Sunday evening the wreeker
Usage arrived alongside the Fleta, at
this place, to assist the Travis Wright
in getting tho SINKING steamer aaoat,
and after four days assiduous labor
the tedious, task was accomplished.
1t seemed as though the holes in the
hull Of the Fieta would never all be
discovered, Or that a new one ap-
peared as soon as an old one was
closed, but finally the last aperture
Eas repaired, and after a few hours
pumping, Thursday afternoon, the
Fleta righted herself and erode the
waters like thing Of life."t.>f
Every thing being in readiness for
departure, the Fleta was secured to
the Travis Wright just before sun,
down, Thursday evening" and the
signals given for start. The Usage
had scarcely reached the middle of
the river, and headed down stream,
when she was brought to by dis.
tress call from the Travis Wright.
The Wright had swung around with
the F1eta on her starboard and just
got under Roadway when the hull Of
the latter went crashing against the
same fatal submerged column of piling
that had caused her former disaster.
Men were hurried into the hold with
tarpaulins, and they discovered
water pouring in through hole
scarcely three feet distant from that
caused by the first collision.
With all possible dispatch the
Wright towed the Fleta to her former
position against the shore, and the
Usage being alongside in a few mo-
ments, works wa .prsmptly resumed.

Mr.. Hughes has become we'll ac-,

The little brooklet ripples along,
Every bubble singing song;
1t tangles the sun in its crystal skein,
And 1t answers back to the fretting rafns
Along it's margin the ferns unfold,
Ana violets .shapen out Of the mold;
And the nag flower leans, as il fain to snatch
A hint Of the brooklet's musical catch,
While arrow-heads are wading out
To watch the flashing Of silver trout.
Day after day, and night after night,
ltlseems to be running away out Of sight;
But the way is long, and the path is rough,
And day and dighf are not long enough.
Orion looks on its quivering stream,
His belt and buckle upon 1T CLEAN,
AMI all the stars that haunt the sky r.
Reefict their splendor in passing by.
on, happy brooklet that bears along
The skimming swallows early song;
The secret OF each neighboring nest,
Of lilies anchored on Sits breast;
That every aay, and perhaps forever, y
Plays out of doors in all sorts of weather.

The. recent gradual decline In the price
bf silver in Europe seems especially ia
vorable to the United States Government
In view OF the proposed partial resump-
tion Of the use OF specie.
A psominent officer OF the Treasury
Department has given the following ex-
planation OF the relations between gold,
silver and fractional currency:
The gold value Of silver is now i21
cents per ounce, fine, which corresponds
to LOO cents per ounce 900 fine, or United
States standard. One dollar in frac-
s1ional coins contains 1856 $40 grains, and,
since 480 grains Zone ounce) are worth
81 90, 1856 grains are worth 81 6-10 cents.
This may be termed the intrinsic value
y0f silver. With gold at 81 10, United
States notes are worth s. 2-10 cents.
Fran the foregoing data it will be seen
that . dollar In fractional silver coins
WIN purchase less than IL cenps worth
more OF gold than United States nptes.
, With this view Of the case, and II is
Jeyiasntly correct enc, the principal
Question seems to be whether the pres
