An exchange gets of the following
on delinquent subscribers: looking
over an old ledger we see long ar
ray Of names Of former subscribers
who are indebted to us. Some Of
them have moved away and are lost
TO sight although to memory dear
Others are carrying the contribution
boxes in our most respectable church
cs, and others again, have died and
are angels in Heaven; but thcy owe
us just the same"
We have had bills sent to many 'ot
our subscribers, who have forgotten
they owe US. 1t has been many
years since we have heard from some
of them. No doubt they mean well,
but they do not pay. We send them
this paper, for which We have paid,
printing for which We have paid, pos
tagc which We have paid, and still
they pay US NOT. And yet there is
bu. one thing to be done with 9 debt,
and that is to pay it. Forgetting a
debt docs not pay it; nothing pays ii
but the money. We hope those ex;
ccllent friends who do US the honor
to read this paper viii have the kind,
ness to remit at once. If they can
not pay all, surely they can pay a
part; and as half loaf is better than
no bread, We shall be obliged if they
will pay even part Of their long
neglected debt.

really seem that leather ought to be made
here much more chcaply than there, and
consequently, afford q much greater rate OF
profit. Thus, hides are taken from our
own slaughter house and shipped to the
Eastern tanners at heavy expense, being
very bulky. Then, tan bark is getting very
scarce there and il shipped thither from
the South at great cost. Here We have the
bark, as well rs sumsc and other tanning
agencies, in great abundance and very
cheap. Hides from Texas and from home
localities accumulate here Ms . shipping
point, and cost just a. much less here than
at Nortbern points As the freight in putting
them there would amount to. Then after
leather is manufactured abroad it has to
undergo the additional expense Of being
shipped back to this market before being
ready for sale.
When We reject that all these things-
hides, bark and leather-are articles OF
great bulk in proportion to value, it must
be manifest that the item of freight in all
these shipments and return shipments Ia
q very heavy one in the fetal Of value.
Yet all these items can be saved by estab-
fishing we'll conducted tanneries here. Raw
hides and bark can be obtained far cheaper
than at the North, while the return freight
would be avoided. AS to labor, We hear II
said that it is cheaper here now than in
New England. The old aristocracy of race
which formerly excluded white people.
even the poorest, from many fields Of labor,
NO longer exists, 10 that women and children
can be employed in any desirable numbers
Money naturally shrinks from wandering
into any permanent investment in Louisi'
ana. It prefers o snug place in the bsni
vault or somewhere within reach Of il
masters pocket, so as to be in . conserva
tive position whenever q radical tax col
lector beaves in sight, but it ia hoped soon u
have that brotherhood Of freebooters caget
mp, and then good investments will be mor'
in demand. When that time arrives We con
fidently expect to see tanneries come int
favor, as o business requiring not mucl
capital and having NO complicated ma
chinery, vat assuring liberal returns.

Tanning.

1t IL somewhat surprising that our men
Of capital and enterprise have not given
more attention to the profits derivable
from tanning leather. There can not be
less than FIVE millions Of dollars worth of
leather per snnum consumed in the State
Of Louisiana in the shape Of shoes, saddles
harness, book binding, etc. All this money
paid to our own mechanics, deducting cost
of raw material, would employ come
twenty thousand people. This would be

Schools in St. stephens Parish.

Although improvements may be noted in
almost every Catholic school in the city, We
must say that the perfect method existing in
the girls school of st. Joseph near Napoleon
Avenue leaves but little room for any great
improvement.
The good Sisters of Charity who have chDrge
of this parish school, being actuated by de-
termination to do Code will iHsn things, are
not disturbed by the worlds loud clamors for
"progress, progress Hence they pursue the
even tenor of their way, without any startling
changes and visitor in their school-rooms ut
the opening of the session secs but q continu-
ance of the regularity and order which pre-
vailed last year, and the year before, and the
year before, and 60 on into the dim past.
As was to be expected, their classes this year
| have opened with q prospect of snrpassing any
previous session and the parents of all the
pupils there may rest assured of their being
we'll instructed by the devoted Daughters OF
et. Vincent
At st. Vincent's Academy, the parish school
for boys, very decided change has been
effected since the departure of the Christian
Brothers. On Monday last the school reopened
under the immediate supervision and auspices
of the reverend pastor of the church who hal
assured the discipline of the Academy BY
securing the services of an experinced gradual,
of the celebrated Virginia Military Institute
The associate teacher is lady whose fame as
most successful instructress, especially il
literature and the higher branches of mathe
mstics, is by no means confined to the Sixth
District.
With such teachers, and such q central Ioca
ion, it will not be surprising to see this schoo
filed with pupils from all directions, rs it i
equally accessible from Canal street and from
CarrolltOn, being within a five cent ride from
either point.
The added attractions of healthy locality
seclusion from the city's distractions, an
plenty Of elbow room for youthful exercise
should naturally draw crowds Of pupils of bot
sexes to these favored educational institution
of the Sixth District.
