From a friend and entirely reliable
gentleman, just returned from Point
Coupee, we hear very encouraging in
telligence from that parish. The peo-
pie there claim that the Demo
cratic Conservative party will carry
the parish beyond doubt.
Point Coupee has been for several
years under control or Republican off
Gals, but there were no carpet baggers
among them, and, strange to say, they
have conducted the affairs Of the parish
with wisdom, energy and integrity, and
have relieved the community Of debt.
Yet, while enjoying good local ad-
ministration under Republican officials,
the people still deeply feel the evils of
the wicked and corrupt State govern
ment, and, therefore, Democrats and
Republicans are uniting in common
movement to carry the parish for the
reform State ticket. With good levee
system, Point Coupee would be
one Of the richest parishes in
and we hope to see
the day when it will be as rich, pros
porous and hopeful, as in the days
when we knew it we'll. Except where
the waters from the crevasse have
affected the lands, the crops Of this
parish are fine, and our friend informs
us that hopeful feeling prevails among
all classes OF the people.

In return for his readiness at every

NAL will be rendered him, and that we

him again upon the stage before he
leaves us for another audience.

NJ. Simonin, in recent paper con-
tributed to the Revue des Deur Mondes,
learnedly discusses the applications Of
the solar heat to the propulsion OF ma
chinery. Indeed, he holds all fuels and
forces to be merely varied applications
Of the suns heat. Coal, which is fossil
carbon, is but an equivalent to what in
former ages was impaired to plants by
the sun; hence, 1T Is not the coal that
drives the locomotive; it is the suns
heat stored up in the coal, thousands of
ages ago. locomotives are but the
horses Of the sum-" and wine is de-
scribed as bottled sunshine. The sun
carries water up into the clouds in the
form of vapor; it descends in the form
OF rain and while thus furnishing the
power by which mills are turned, it is
held that the sun is the prime agent
whence the power is derived. Even the
tides, which may yet be largely utilized
for the propulsion of machinery,
derive their impulse from the sun and
moon. Hsw it will be done is not
known, but M. Simonin maintains that
the sun is to be the earth's great source
Of fuel for the future.

ISABEL DE BOURBON.

Tho return OF ex-Queon Isabella te
Spain y ono Of the significant events Of
the season. That she had strong
party Of blue blooded adherents-B
bons Of the Bourbons-who, dwarfinG
her frailties and magnifying her virtues,
always grieved for her misfortunes and
prayed for her restoration, cannot now
be doubted. After eight years OF exile
she again figures as a power behind the
throne she once filed In her own proper
person. Though she was virtually re-
moved for reasons which the world has
approved, yet 1t is through her dynastic
claims that Alfonso XII assumed the
royal purple, for on her particular
behalf her father revoked the Salic law
and excluded from succession the elder
branch Of his family.
It Is quite possible, therefore. that
the return Of the mother TO the court of
her reigning son may be as significant
in Its political as in its social aspects.
There would be an evident inconsistent
cy in the continued exile OF the ex-
Queen, while her son, In spite Of the
traditional opposition OF the Carlists,
was called to the throne from which she
had been expelled.
Alfonso XII is PROFESSIONALLY re-
garded by his friends and those of his
mother as the true King, and they are
gratifed at the solution which his as
cendancy gave to the vexed questions
which for so many years distracted the
country and encouraged revolution. But
those who specially managed the mat
ter on behalf OF Don Alfonso, and made
the immediate return OF the ex- Queen
part Of their programme, found that
they could not accomplish all that they
desired. They had to bring In the
broken succession. link by link, and
thus it comes about that the mother
did not accompany the son When, amid |
the cheers of an enthusiastic populace,
the latter rode from the Gale de Alcala |
into the Puerta del Sol.
When the ex-Queen did return, she !
was accompanied by manyof her rela-
tives and friends almost royal reti-
nue-and the welcome she received was
In strange contrast with the melancholy
which attended her de-
parture. But Madrid Is place Of in
trigues, and those who are ambitious or
polite may strive to use the influence
IL the Queen mother to accomplish
purposes detrimental to the real inter
ssts OF the State. Or, possibly, she
nay not be altogether dead to the am
)itions Of the past, and in the excite
nents Of intrigue may find an enjoy
lble flavor. Be this as 1t may, it is
certain that she has undertaken to in
lirectly remould the royal Iberian
Jabinet, and has assumed the no less
ambitious role OF nominating a sue
essor to the Pope.
All this, to woman who left Madrid {
n disgrace and returned after nearly
ecade Of exile, indicates a lofty aim. f.
he friends Of the ex-Queen would do
7ell, could they induce her to retire to !
eville, and abandon at once and for
yer all connection with schemes OF !
Official or pontifcal ambition.

We are inclined to the belief that
Nastas last cartoon is the best Of bis
entire series covering the greater
period Of the nations greatest crisis.
From the vigorous and original man
ner with which he opens the cam
paign Of 20, he seems destined to
WELD as great, and doubtless better
service to his country, than during
the Greeley experiment Of four years
ago: as great service in defeating the
hungry Democracy in their raid on
the White House, and better ser
vice in his assistance toward wearing
out the curse of the American peo-
ple--purely partisan politics.
Bus to return to Nast's masterpiece
of the pencil. He has pictured ont a
villlnously demonstrating dog in
the act Of going for the various
spoils Of Office, while in the meantime
the artist has represented an improved
order Of Democrat in the act Of cut
ting of the beasts tail, instead of its
head. This scene exhibits the pres-
ent House Of Representatives in all
its hideous character. 1t is aiming to
manufacture sufficient capital before
adjournment to enable the party to
win the Presidential stake by cutting
down salaries that are already too
low to prevent the recipients from
stealing outright, and enlisting in all
sorts of schemes aud back-door SER
vice to make both ends meet.
There is much force in Nast's idea
also set forth in the picture, regard
ing the principle common to all our
American politics, of turning out q
faithful servant--an old dog be-
cause he is. old and incapable Of
making living in any other bust
ness. Altogether, the picture is every
way up to the demands of the times,
and must carry weight into every
household in the land.

The long and tedious trial of J. W.
Rover, the murderer. has AZ last been
brought TO close. For fourteen
days have the jury in this case been
confined to the court house. The
case has been most peculiar one,
involving great amount of circnm-

and searching cross-cxamination.
The prosecution and defense were
ably represented. The jury being

WASHINGTON. April 19.-The Pres
dent informed Congressman Page to-
day that he had directed the Secre-
cary of State TO instract Minister
Seward to call the attention of the
Chinese Government to the practical
operations of the Burlingame Treaty,
with view to modifying it in ac-
cordsnce with the suggestions of the
resolution recently adopted by the
House. This order of the President
is the foundation Of negotiations to
contine the treaty TO commercial pur-
poses. Secretary Fish is now in
New York, but Page intends to invite
his most earnest attention to the
matter upon his return. The Prcsi-
dent manifested great interest in the
subject, and, referring to the recon-
mendations of his annual message
for legislation to prevent coolie I'M
portation, said his convictions had
sine undergone no change except to
become strengthened.
