NATCHITOCHES LOUISIANA, JUNE 3. 1875.
Building on the Sand.

IT'S we'll to WOO, tits we'll to wed,
For so tho world hath done
Since myrtless grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
Bnt have care, ye young and fair,
BE sure You pledge in truth;
BE certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth
For if ye give not heart for heart,
As well rs hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
And "built upon the sand"
IT'S well to save, tits well to have
A goolly store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold,
But place not all your hopes and trust
III what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with pnrer things;
And u" who j''tTs mp wealth alone,
!. Will often have to stand
Beside the coffee chest, anu own
Ills 'Built upon the sand"
'Tis good to speak in friendly guise
And sOOthe Wher1'er We can !
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man,
But stop not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But "Build upon the sand"

The marshes that have been create

The parishes that have been created
in this State since reconstruction,
have been the cause Of more disturb.
ances and lawlessness than any other
one thing that We now recall. The
reason Of this is very manifest. In
the first place, the people who pay
the taxes in these new parishes, were
never in favor of them. They were
created solely in the interest and for
the benefit of a few office holders.
The people were never consulted, or
their interests regarded. Any SEN
sible man could have forctold the
dreadful evils that have followed this
legislating to create new Offices. Look
at Grant and Red River parishes.
Read the bloody records Of these new
parishes, and then defend, if you Can,
the authors of the plundering schemes
that have made these outrages pos
slble, if not inevitable. There have
been at least two hundred murders
IN the parishes If Red River and Grant
since their organization. Would these
murders have been:committed ifthese
new parishes had not been created
against the will of the people! Were
tiley not created to make new Offices,
and were not these offices used tn
make money out Of an unwilling tax

fishes 4 fearful Indictment against
some Of the former managers OF tht
Republican party u.any OF whom

for tho purpose Of criticism, but tt

our WORTHY COMMISSIONER.

One thing seems to grow palmer every
day: We shall no, climb to honorable
specie resumption upon ladder that
sinks beneath US at every step. That
sort OF climbing is bat the useless ex-r-
else Of the tresd-mill. II we wish to rise
really and surely. We must beware OF the
treacherous footing Of silver. and betake
ourselves to the steep and difficult but
solid and certain stairs OF gold.
This is what the Right Honorable and
Worthy Rossiter w. Raymond has TO
say about the leading mining industry of
this Coast. The honorable Rossiter gets.
we believe, SIS 900 for compiling an an
nual report from various newspapers
published on this Coast. To say his
argument is absurd is but stating q self
evident proposition, to say it is migrate
ful is but a slight expression of general
feeling. and to say be had much better
keep silent than to utter such an asinine
bray as the above is the best advice we
can give him. Climbing "steep and
difficult stairs" though made OF gold. is
not the way to get out OF the present
slongh. But what can We expect from
the East, when man who is viewed by
many as the exponent OF this Coas; q
views publishes in his journal such bosb.
We are more sorry than surprised. He
is evidently too lazy to even form cor.
rect opinion and SLIPS the face of his
| benefactress in lieu thereof.

Inc Oemocratic party has entered

doubts Of the advantages to be derived

Of these Asiatics have thoroughly con-
WINGED them that such an element of
non-assimilating material injected in

tirsly by considerations Of policy, ex'

habitually in strange and abomlnablr
excesses which are alike degrading to
human nature. aud repusnant to our
civilization. The introduction into
our country Of these people. in such
numbers as will enable them to keep
alive their customs. habits and traditions,
can but exercise an injurious and demon
alizing influence on all who are brought
In association with them. A. any rate
they would but commit this Republio to
all the chances Of repetition Of the
commissions and revolutions into which
the importation OF the African race, a
race likewise entirely separated from our
own by corresponding remarkable pecul.

our own State or country, but is tbs ma.
terial for grave consideration throughout
thu civilized world. England is trying
TO devise means by which the recent
enormous losses in the Indian Colonies
can be prevented from recurring. The
French Assembly has passed an act au.

demnity then being paid in installmsnts.
enabled the German Government to bny
buy up immense quantities Of gold to

money was called gradually in and gold
Issued in its place. This led to an 40.
emulation Of silver. which was thrown
upon tho market just at the time when

The reports about Nevada quartz mill

several Nevada gentlemen who had re-
turned from there stated that the quartz
mill was a dead tizzie, as tar as attract

that they spent there whole days
trying to tind it. 1t WAS in an obscure
nook of the vast expause OF building they
said, and it was only by the merest acct

In recent issue Of the Virginia En-
terprlse. that paper. in an article sd-
dressed to the working man says:
1t is plain that all the idle men here
who can should leave Virginia City.
This may seem like cruel advice, but IT
is not, because the times are bound to
grow worse rather than to improve. To
the men at work We say, save every dol
lar not needed for actual expenses. You
may lose your places next week or next
month. To those who contemplate leav-
ing We would say. don't go to Eastern
Nevada. There are few mines IN that
region which can stand up under the
present discount on silver. Go further
east, or go TO California. We are aware
that III. prospect is hard one in either
direction, but it is better to push out and
try to find work on the outside than to
remain here.
This looks hard, but under the circum-
stances other advice would be mistaken
