How Courbet VIII Fay for the yendom
Column,

How Courbet VIII Fay for the yendomc
Column.
M. Gustave Uourbet, the French
painter who figured so comically in the
Commune, has arranged his little affair
about the demolition Of the Column
Vendome, for whose restoration, 1t will
be remembered, he was condemned to
pay. The damages amount to $64, 500,
and he has agreed to pay them at the
rate Of $4,000 yearly. which will give him
thirty-three years in which to liquidate
his debt. The veteran radical is now in
his ffty-eighth year, 80 that, bis friends
say, his life is insured until he shall
reach the respectable age OF ninety-one.
Courbet. however. says he will take bis
revenge In paying for thu monument by
painting pictures Of court life under the
second empire. and, with his faeile
brush and the widely suggestive field
he has chosen, the age OF shams in
feathers, rogues in Office and charlatans
in power, promises to be illustrated 10 a
manner that will be Of great value to the
next generation.

JEAN D'ACIEII.
A souabbIe over a French r

sQuaDble over u Ereuch Fl0ys
The play Of "Jean d'Acier was per-
formed for the second time at the Thea
tire Francois. Paris, on May /, and frag-
ments OF the dialogue gave offense to
many auditors of high rank, whose an
cestors had been guillotined during the
Reign Of Terror. A we'll known Legit-
imist expressed his opinion OF Republi-
cans in very emphatic terms; and M.
Cremieux, catching the words, made an
angry retort. The nobleman made a
passionate speech and turned on his
heel, but his. place was, filled by M.
Madaillac, who had had much to do
during the Carlist war. In the excite
ment of the discussion one OF the gen.
tlemen touched the other, and as blow
was thought to have been intended, the
result was duel, in the course Of which
M. Cremieux was wounded twice and
finally run through the arm.

THr POLICY or NEW ORLEANS.
che Great Trade Centre OF Regions SCUM
and West OF Her.

Editor Dsmocrdt-The true policy OF
ra~ Orleans il to look South and West.
Hhe Ia the largest city in North America,
ercept Mexico, south OF ST. Louis and
cincinnati. and between her and these
latter named cities intervene eight or ten
degrees OF latitude. The above named
cities have derived their principal
sources Of prosperity from regions west
and south OF them. It must, In the
eventual nature of things, be 30 with
New Orleans. She becomes the en-
trepot or point Of supply. exchange
and trade with the extensive and highly
favored regions west and south. inciud-
ing Texas, the Western Territories, 70
the Pacific, that part Of the republic Oh
Mexico north OF her capital, ana the
West India Islands. A direct railroad
from New Orleans through southern
Texas to a point on the Rio del Norte,
say about latitude % deg, and from
there directly to the city OF Mexico,
with branch extending from the
no,nt on the Rio del Norte to the Pa
cit,c. cav at Mazatlan-is the true policy
or New Orleans.
n ia useless to expect Mr.. Morgan to
give any other than feigned assistance
II such q road, and he probably controls
the railroad to Brashear City with the
view OF preventing its going any further,
M ii might deteriorate the large eaSital
he has invested In steamers to Texas
ports. Steamers blowing barren salt
water are. however, far less eificaclous
In developing the resources OF the south
than railroads passing through regions
where man may live and cities may
flourish. -
The writer OF this is taxpayer, and
voted i'm favor OF the railroad tax on
the 95th inst, on the principle that TO
do something In the way OF public I'M
movement is better than to do nothing
at ali, though suspicious at the same
time that the interest OF st. Louis was
nossibly greater In It than New Orleans.
New Orleans, from her natural position.
should become the base OF supply ior
the regions west and south, and build
railroads in those directions, and allow
railroads toward the north to be built
by the North; for st. Louis will never
assist ,,s to build railroad south OF us.
WHY, then, assist her to. grasp trade
that belongs to us, and the enece Oh
which Ia to ignore us altogether.

POISON
Ceru Tread as n Poison.

t8FU AFeHu us u SVtsVus
Tits the general impression In Italy
that bread made from Indian corn is
unwholesome. frequently producing spo-
fatally. The facts appear to be we'll es-
tablished, and the result to depend upon
a condition OF moldiness which is very
apt to supervene In consequence of the
method of preparing the bread In that
country. Quite recently some chemists
have succeeded In separating from
moldy Indian meal an alkaloid sub
stance, which is white, easily alterable,
non-crystalline. insoluble in water, SOL
poison ously on man and animals. It Is
especially noteworthy that the sulphu-
rio acid solution, when oxidizing agents
are added, has a blue color, strikingly
similar to that OF the corresponding re-
action of strychnine.

A PROMISING CROP.
How to Raise Mosquitoes Easily and
Cheap.

HOW u kHlse NpVSQuItVcs shshs uHss
Cheap.
Raleigh Obaerver.l
As the mosquito season is rapidly ad-
vancing and the mode Of propagating
them may not be known to most OF Our
citizens, we propose to give few points
for the benefit Of all concerned. Get q
few barrels, half barrels, or tubs OF half
barrel capacity, fill with water as soon
as possible (the season il advancing and
the older the water the better) and place
them about the yard; by the 1st Of June
you may look out for q good crop. You
need have no fears OF the result OF the
experiment; they will come sure, pro-
vided you do not disturb the water ves-
sells. II the barrels, half barrels or tubs
are already supplied with rain water
from the caves orgutter spouts, SO much
the better for an early crop. We notice
that several back yards on Wilmington
and Hargett streets are already provided
with the necessary apparatus. In other
sections the barrels and tubs are in
readiness and we need only q few more
rains to furnish the required amount OF
water. There need be no approximations
of failure; that would be doubling the
dexterity of the average Raleighite In
an enterprise in which he Is pre-emi-
nently successful.
