Y. M. G. A. CANvAss-A correspondent
writes that meetings were begun at Limerick
the 18th where there are three churches, the
Congregational, Baptist and Free Baptist.
The churches were in low state when the
meetings begun. The first day nine persons
expressed an interest in religious matters,
among whom was the teacher of the high
school. Last Friday afternoon the school at
tended the meeting in body. AT the close
twenty-five of the scholars with the assistant
teacher rose for prayers. Sunday six meetings
were held in the same church. The meetings
were Of deep interest and the number of per-
sous seeking religion increases at every meet
ing. The meetings will be continued another
week. Experience has shown that it is wise
to devote more time to places where an interest
is awakened.
At Springvale the work has been going stead
lily on this week.
Meetings at Cornish will probably not COM
mence before Monday evening next.

and report the excitement over the supposed
murder case unabated. Mr. Bartlett has care

and is of the opinion that it is human blood,

TRIAL OF A NozZLE.-The Board of Engin
GERS tested the Clements nozzle las. evening
Casco steamer was run down to the corner of
Federal and franklin streets and the new noz-
zle attached to line of hose for trial. Thu adj
vantage of this invention is that it is arranged
so as to give the pipemen full control of the
stream at all times. This is done by neat
continuance which shuts off the water, and
gives small or large stream, as is required.
The engine is run at full force all the while,
and when the nozzle shuts off the stream the
water is forced into the suction hose, thus talk
ing the strain from the leading hose. By this
means fireman can go into building and
play small stream or o large one without
bursting the hose. The trial was very satisfac-
tory, and the nozzle will doubtless be introduce
ed in the department.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-03-30
From North Louisiana.
OUACH1TA PARISH, March Ia, 1876.


EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
During all the exciting times through
which YOU of the city have lately passed,
the utmost tranquility has prevailed in the
pine hill parishes.
The pretense of certain demagOgues in
and around the legislative halls that the
"people" were reused or excited or anxious
politically was utterly false. In the towns
very few politicians, editors, lawyers and
loafers responded to the calls for red hot
support of impeachment and revolution,
Int throughout the rural districts nobody
knew or cared what was going on in the
city. During the past month have asked
MANY of the most intelligent citizsns this
question: "Do you hear much talk about
politics!" The answer has always been:
mot word;" 'Nothing;" Haven't heard
politics mentioned" etc. Among those thus
questioned were men who had just visited
several parishes and mingled freely with
the people. The fact is, not one man in
twenty, probably not one in fifty, liv-
ing in the upland or hill parishes,
takes a paper, consequently they know
nothing of passing events, except the little
thew hear when IN town on business. 1t is
only when political speakers go out among
them, Just before election time, that they
manifest any interest in politics. The
great majority of these people would be
Repu0llcan6 II pTOporly AAAoA "Ou' AAoy
vote the Democratic ticket as matter of
course, not knowing why, except that the
men who assume to be leaders tell them to
do 60. Not one man in hundred under
stands the principles Of either party. They
are told that Radicals are all sconndrels
and thieves who rob the people by the help
of negro votes. They believe it, and vote
| :sagin Radicals" The desire for good
| schools is almost universal among the peo-
pie of this region. They want free schoois,
vet at every election they vote solid tor the
party which never establishes schools Tor
| the common people.
| If the managers of the Republican party
| would make arrangements to hold JOINT
| discussions with the candidates and speak
ers of the Democracy during the coming
nolitical canvas great good might be done.
| let the people hear both sides presented by
the ablest men of the respective parties
and half the prejudice and bitterness now
existing would be removed.
In the campaign Of 1874, Senator o. II:
Brewster held Joint discussions in several
marshes of the fifth district, and was lis
tened to by hundreds who never before
heard or read Republican speech:
