DISASTROUS FLOODS IN FRANCE.

cality. of the terrible destruction of life
and property in France by food and inun-

western France. We may suppose there
has been large par; OF the immigration
into Louisiana from the ports of the Bay
Of Biscay. The cities OF Bordeaux and
Bayonne are the ports of communication
with the northern slope. as those Of Mar
seilies and Toulon are Of the Gulf Of

coast OF France. These two coasts are
separated by an astronomical distance Of
not more than four hundred miles, bu:

in chain whose SUBMITS are from eight
to ten thousand feet, forming bound

paper. He dNixoyed the total crop Of
OF 1875. tefegraphed the astounding intel
ligence to New York, and set the short
crop operators to work under condition
OF great excitement. According to the
Chicago Times number Of greenhorns
suffered severe losses, and are now virtu-
ously indignant toward the unprincipled
scamp who SO cruelty deceived them.
Our sympathies are with the scamp, and
against the fools who SO eagerly snapped
at such a pa)pable fraud. When we see
men eager to believe that great calamity
has befallen a section Of the country, and
in haste to profit by it. to the extent cot
ton spectators usually go. we feel a
double satisfaction in their discontinue.
New York. New Orleans and other
great commercial centres have well or.
gained bureaus for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the exact condition OF the cotton
crop. The Agricultural; Bureau at Wash.
lngton has its agents constantly at work
to the same end. Their reports are not
only accurate. but they come from the
whole producing area Of the country.
But parties disregard these and run after
irresponsible reporters who are hired to
write short crop fables. just as stupid and
Ignorant persons reject revealed truth and
resort to witchcraft, spiritualis,S and
clairvoyants. None Of these easily de-
luded individual, deserve any pity. They
can only be cured by experience. and the
sooner the remedy is applied the sooner
they will become sensible.
The planters never receive any benefit
from these short crop falsehoods. The
losses fall on the gamblers who buy cot
ton short at a low figure, and expect it to
rise to double the price agreed upon.
They never see bale of cotton, bat when
pay day comes either receive or pay the
difference. A regular cotton dealer, who
devotes bis capital to moving the crop.
deserves all the success he can achieve.
but the gambler who simply bets on
rise or fall is financial Ishmaelite, who
deserves no sympathy when he fails.

turesque and productive. The valleys are
fertile, and the thermal and other springs
for which this region has been renowned
ever since the day Of the Romans, attract
great numbers OF visitors and constitute
populous and industrious cities. Dor
deaux and the upper waters OF the "a
rome constitute one system of drainage
and development. Bayonne. with the
Adour and Gave rivers and their tribu-
taries constitute another. The cities OF
Pau, Tarbes. Terdun and Toulouse, with
many smaller villages. seated along the
smaller branches of the upper rivers. have
suffered greatly. while the crops and cat
tie of the valleys and gorges. every culti-
vable inch Of which have been subjected
to industry, have left a deplorable degree
of restitution.
The whole region between the oceans is
replete with history and romance.
Bayonne, we believe. is claimed as the
birth place Of Henry ". The passes Of
the Pyrennees have been for ages the
scene Of desperate conflict for territorial
possession or nationa! supremacy. From
the Roman conquest. long past the wars
o. the Saracens, and the surprise and
massacre at Roncesvalles (in Spain, these
Hau:s Py:ennees have been the theme OF
story and of song. 1t is classic land in
which freedom and patriotism have often
made desperate and triumphant stand
against oppression, and it is entitled in
its Affections to the sympathies 0: the
civilized world.
Many Of the mos. estimable citizens Of
New Orleans are immigrants in person
or by descent from that country, renowned
for the order and industry of its inhabit-
ants. Without any other knowledge of
the country CT people than may be formed
from its history and geography, We may
safely commend the sufferers to the hu-
name commiseration of our citizens, who
have been the witnesses of similar ca
lamity, and the ,espec. of such charitable
aid as will be appropriate and acceptable
to the region which Las suffered so greatly
by inundation. We have no doubt an
organized etfor. will be ma de to raise
funds FOX the relief of these unfortunate
victims Of an unavoidable misfortune.

The COTTON GAMBLERS.

This is the proper season of the year
for the cotton crop to fail totally. 1t
does not make so much difference what
means are employed. SO long as a
transient success is achieved Among the
agencies usually employed are boil worms,
drouth, drenching rains. ''old and expert

THE BUSINESS OF CHARITY,

| New Orleans is dotted over with chart
table institutions in which the destitute
are provided FOX at the public expense
They are not controlled by the public.
however. being mostly managed by the
various religious association. chiefly Ro-
man Catholic. Donations to these estab-
| lishments are made out of the public
treasury every month with 4 most graft
flying regularity. and in proportion to the
number of inmates. During the first two
or three years Of Governor Warmoth' S
administration appropriations aggregat-
ing eighty thousand dollars, or more
were made annually: but it was soon
found that such muniicence had a ten
dency to increase orphanage and indi-
gence to an alarming extent. To prevent
epidemics, the appropriations had to be
withheld. The city. however, has not been
able to throw off the burden. It is car
rying between twenty-five and thirty Of
these institutions. averaging about one
hundred inmates each. The orphans are
reported by the grand jury to be from one
to fifteen years old. Taking the charity
institutions altogether. including the
House Of the Good Shepherd. and We find
there are at ieas: one thousand able bodied
persons. besides the managers Of the sew
eral charitable institutions. who live at
the public expense and produce little Or
nothing. 4 girl OF fourteen or fifteen is
old enough to earn her own living. and
doubtless would if let out to a family.
But this is not permitted. In some cases,
we are told, a healthy orphan is retained
till she is eighteen. What becomes of her
then We can not say. There are two rea.
sons for thus retaining grown up girls in
indulgence and obscurity. but one Of which
it is necessary to notice here. The insti-
tutions exact and receive from the city
treasury appropriations per capita. which
makes it for the interest of the managers,
if not the public. to keep up a big roster.
Thus more than twenty-five hundred or.
phans ofall ages from one to eigheeen years
of age, and INDECENT old people are main
tanned in unproductive idleness at the
public expense. About one hundred and
fifty people are employed to manage the
institutions. who are. Of course. supported
out of the revenues. The sums of money
voted out Of the city treasury bear but
small proportion to the total cost. I'm
mense sums are collected every year by
itinerant mendicants.
So far as the benefits are applied to
helpless young children and old persons.
the system is praiseworthy. But double
wrong is committed when an inmate is
retained for selfish reasons. The public
is defrauded of the additional amount
which is drawn in consequence. and the
young girl deprived Of an opportunity Of
finding herself better home where she
could learn something and make herself
useful, and thus become independent. 1t
would probably do something toward
curing the evi! if the city excluded healthy
children over ten years old from the !
count. There would be one temptation
removed. and as for the other motive for !
keeping the young persons. let the ex-
peases be borne by those who assign it.
