WHY WE SHOULD NOT COMPROMISE,
Facts and Figures.

Mr.. Editor--I notice that there is some
talk Of compromise with the usurpation, on
the basis of restoring the House of Repre-
sentatives to its statu quo at the moment when
it was dispersed by the military. The Con-
gressional Committee, it is rumored, desire a
compromise, and the Conservative Represen-
tatives have formally asked that the commit
tee examine into the election, and declare
who are the rightful members of the House
of Representatives of Louisiana.
Now, in order that the Congressional Com
mittee, and all others conoerned, may appre-
ciate the fact that the restd cation CT the Witt
House to its rightful positi4n, just and proper
as that action would certai31y be, would con-
stitute but small portion Of the redress to
which the people of Louisiana are entitled at
the hands of the Government of the United
States, the following. taken from the sworn
official returns of 1872 and 1874, will demon

i was not SO long ago but what people can
recall with little effort the contest in the
Third Ward between Ladd aud Antoine, and
the lively time the faithful had among them
selves. The Ladd faction won the fight, and
the Laid boys went to the parish nominating
convention, and since the adjournment of
that convention politics in the Third Ward
have been quiet until recently, but now the
trouble has opened again, and there will be
an engagement tonight.
Ladd it is contended has not "toted fair, :"
and there will be an effort made to GUST him,
and to that end compact has been made
with Antoine's boys By some Of the strongest
men in Ladd's crowd.
Pat Creagh and Antonio Alsesco, are the
two candidates for the position to be made
vacant, and there will be lively fight before

The Department of Agriculture gives
the following summary of the injuries
done by insects during the present year.
II viii be noticed that comparatively lit
tie was reported of the Colorado potato
beetle in the West. This was partially
caused, doubtless, by the smaller num-
ber in many localities, but also to a great
degree. as we think, by the fact that the
people of the Western States have be-
come so accustomed to them that they
are not so apt 70 mention them. The
discovery of a dozen of these beetles in
potato field in Maine would naturally
have caused more comment this year
than the presence of thousands on every
farm in Il Western State, where they had
been common for years:
''Our statistical correspondence, while
indicating the usual variety of injurious
insects in different parts of the country,
gives welcome evidence of the fact that
the range OF destructive influence. on the
whole, has been much narrower than in
former years, the losses inflicted being
quite inconsiderable in the aggregate
The Colorado beetle has reached New
England, but its severest ravages were
felt in the Middle States, Maryland and
Virginia In the West it was compare
lively innocuous The dreaded grass
hopper, of the trans Mississippi region,
seems to be perishing from the assaults
of parasites; its demonstrations of de-
structive power were far less formidable
than last year. The grass ar1ny-worm,
or something resembling it, was especial
ly destructive Of the oat crop in Ohio and
few counties in adjacent States The
dreaded chincll-b bug made its power felt
IN only few localities. Cotton insects
were heard of in but a few places, and
their ravageS were too trifling TO affect
the general yield of the crop in any de-
gree worthy Of mention. Fruit and grain
insects were very sporadic in their man
ifestations, doing but little general dam
age. A few weli-known insects are noted
which, upon a fuller description, will
probably be identified with wellknown
species"

Feeding by Rule.

There are great many men who have
a habit of doing everything by some fixed
rule. They go TO bed at a certain time,
and If they fail to awake 10 the morning
at the usual time they are angry at them
selves all DAY. They make il an ''inva-
riable rule 10 work a certain number of
hours each day, and their going out and
coming in is according to some we'll
established plan. They take a certain
amount of certain kinds of food, and
everything in regard to diet is brought
under the dominion of an iniexible law.
Some of these men are farmer-, and
they carry their ideas Flaw and order
into all their farm arrangements. They
feed their live stock with great regulari-
ty, both in regard to time of feeding and
the quantity. They try TO ascertain how
many pounds of hay a COW requires in
day, and then as nearly as possible feed
just that quantity every twenty-four
hours. This plan seems to me to be very
Objectionable. Every one knows that
in the case of men, the age, size and
weight, separately, or all combined, form
no correct standard by which 10 judge
the amount Of food Eequired. Some
very small men consume a great deal
more food than those larger and heavier.
How would they like to be fed by rule
to have three per cent. of their weight
Of solid food each day? Under such
system the large, heavy, fat men, who eat
but little, would be furnished more food
than they would care for, while the thin,
light, hungry men would be half starved
all the time. Some animals have much
keener appetite than others, and need
much more food. At times the small
animal will require much more food in
proportion to its live weight than it will
at others. In extremely cold weather
creatures need much more food than
they do when it is comfortably warm.
And when COWS are giving milk they
ought always to be fed better than when
they are dry. There is, and can be, no
fixed rule for feeding animals which will
apply to all cases at all times. Animals
are different, and their surroundings
vary so much that what is sufficient for
one is not enough for another which is
of the same age and size. And the at
tempt to bring them all to some general
average, and feed them all by some uni
versal rule, seems not only to be con-
trary to nature and hard upon the ami
mails, but also Improbable to the owner
1t is far better to allow the appetite to
be the sole criterion of the amount of
food which is required. r., in Buffalo

Walking Horses.

We are glad tonOtice that many of our

Is. that the whole country is possessed
