Farmers as Business Men.

1t is popularly supposed by large
class of farmers that none but business
men need to acquire a knowledge
of business forms and rules. To their
mind the business man occupies a posi-
ton similar to the lawyer and the doc
tor ; he learns his trade and proceeds to
get living by it. This class of men be-
ieve that business forms are unintelligi-
BILE, whereas they are very simple. He
is as respectful at the mention of the
words percentage" drafts" "bill
of lading," "invoice," etc., as he is
when he hears his family physician talk
Latin. But every farmer is business
man. He has crops to go to market
he wants to sell to the best advantage
he has to sell oftentimes on credit, and
he is continually buying. To all intents
and purposes he is business man. 1t
would seem very desirable, however,
that the younger men who are one day
to fill the places of the present genera
ton, should learn how to handle with
ease and accuracy the business forms and
methods which commercial men by long
practice and experience have reduced
to system.

The Passions that Induce Disease.

The passions which act most severely
on the physical life, says Popular Sci
ence Monthly, are anger, fear, hatred
and grief. The other passions are COM
paratively innocuous. What is called
the passion of love is not injurious until
it lapses into grief and anxiety; on the
contrary, it sustains the physical power.
What is called ambition is of itself harm
less; for ambition, when it exists purely,
is nobility, lifting its owner entirely
from himself into the exalted services of
mankind. 1t Injuries when it is debased
by its meaner ally, pride, or when,
stimulating man to too strenuous eff
forts after some great object, it leads
him to the performance of excessive
mental or physical labor, and to the con
sequences that follow such effort.
The passion called avarice, according
to our experience, tends rather to the
preservation of the body than to its de-
terioration. The avaricious man, who
seems to the luxurious world to be de-
barring himself of all the pleasures of
the world, and even exposing himself to
the pangsof poverty, is generally placing
himself in the precise conditions favor
able to long and healthful existence.
By his economy he is saving himself
from all the worry incident to penury /;
by his caution he is screening himself
from all the risks incident to speculation
or the attempt to amass wealth by
hazardous means; by his regularity of
hours and perfect appropriation of the
sunlight, in preference to artificial il
Illumination, he rests and worksin periods
that precisely accord with the periodicy
of nature; by his abstemiousness in
living he takes just enough to live,
which is precisely the right thing to do
according to the rigid natural law.
Thus, in almost every particular, he
goes on his way freer than other men
from the external causes of all the in-
duced diseases and better protected than
most men from the worst consequences
of those diseases which spring from
causes that are uncomfortable.

Facts and Fancics.

Success is full of promise; all men get

Iuforma tion for the Exotic.

When the editor of the Democrat has
lived longer among "this people," and
studied of the Forman board returns, and
other good Democratic authority, he may
hope to avoid such blunders as are con-
tanned in the following:
The REPUBLICAN holds that if the Dem
ocrats claim that Mr.. Eus.is was legally
elected to the United States Senate. they
must admit that Messrs. Blackburn, Greene
and Alexander were lawful State Senators,
ard that they thus estop themselves from
claiming the election of Governor McEnery.
This argument is based upon the peculiarly
Republican non sequi!ur that if the above
named gentlemen received majorities in the
eight parishes constituting their districts,
Kellogg and the other Radical candidates
must have received the same vote.
Had the Forman figures been consulted,
the Democrat might have learned that the
vote for Governor Kellogg is set down at
one-third greater than that accorded to the
three Senators. So that the only ''pecu-
liarly Republican non sequitur" is that We
may have sgain, owing to its assumptions,
accorded the Democrat credit for knowledge
of Louisiana affairs which it does not
possess.

Opera House.

Oper0 House,
The French Dramatic Company of New
York opened their season last evening to an
excellent and appreciative audience. The
piece chosen was Sardou's mos Intimes"
(Our Particular Friende). MN. Dalbert,
Veniat and Richez, and Mines. Lormiani,
Remand and Tholer assumed tho principal
roles. Without offering an analysis Of this
standard comedy, or as critiques upon
artists who appear for the first time
among us, it is sufficient at present to
congratulate the public that there has
been secured an important addition to the
attractions of the season. The pieces which
follow will comprise the most popular of
the French drams, many OF which have
been translated and are familiar to our
readers. We commend this entertainment
to those even who ane not familiar with the
language in which they are presented, the
emoti. nal and comic effects, with the panto-
mime expression, situation and tableaux,
being in themselves perfectly ineligible
and worthy of admiration.
Tonight "Camille" will be acted.
Varieties Theatre.
Tomorrow evening at this theatre we
are to have Mr.. John T. Raymond in his
famous character of Colonel Mulberry Sellers.
On the sixteenth of September, 1874, Mark
Twain's drams, ''The Gilded Age," was first
acted in New York, at the Park Theatre.
1t had run of 100 nights there, and since
then Mr.. Raymond has played his comic
creation of Sellers in many other cities,
always with great success. Mr.. Raymond
made remarkable hit, and no actor better
deserves the good fortune which Colonel
Sellers showered on him. Everybody will
wish to see and laugh at the comical Coloners s
plan of raising the wind. "There's millions
in it,"
st. Charles Theatre.
The play called the "Aichemist's Daugh-
| ter" which will be acted at the St. Charles
tonight, is q novelty in dramatic composi'
ton, and will introduce to this public Pro
lessor J. Pepper, 9 scientist, who is re-
nowned for magical and electrical illusions
His chemical effects and management o.
lights and shadows are the features of the

audience.
