The School Board of this parish has
elected w. G. Head, (colored,) Secretary
Of the Board. II this is fair sample
poets to do, we suggest that the menu
bers retire to private life. Their labors
are not appreciated. We know Oi
some men and some women who nave
children to be educated, but it is their
preference that no high-toned mOralist
like Pinchback should be their instruc-
tor. We are surprised.

COUNTING THE MINUTES.

Nines suggested by picturc.)
Yes, counting the minutes! how slowly they
move,
And yet the lov'd one is not here;
His last word at MISUNDERSTANDING with
love-
Told my heart had nothing to fear.
Still counting tho minutes! How can
believe
am waiting and watching in vain;
know that he never would try to deceive,
So I'll wit, for he's coming again!
When counting the minutes, how endless
appears
Each lingering hour of the day!
The hours are ages, the moments AZ
years,
When thou. my own love, art away!
Does love eyer weary? No, never! The"
why
Should weary of watching for thee?
The darkness of night may DER shadow my
sky,
But with thee it is sunlight to mo!

The religious excitement among the
Chinese in San Francisco is intense, and
is due to the setting up of new joss by
che Rev. Swang Bung. TO every joss is
attributed power proportionate to his
age and the nature of his exploits when
on earth. Swang Bung's joss was
brought over form China not long ago,
and was intended specially to influence
the Tartars, who have become numer-
Gus of late on the Pacific coast; and his
great act while a mortal was performed
ages ago, when he led Tartar's inva-
sion into the original Chinese Empire.
Of course such a joss is disiiked by the
Cinnamon proper. The teachings OF
Swanc Bune, too, are considered as too
uliberal." He tells his people that no
crime committed against Americans is
regarded as wrong by his joss, so long
as the proceeds are hoarqetl carefully
and carried back to China.

The Russian torpedoes appear to be
using up the whole Turkish navy.
Five more costly iron clads in the Black
Sea have been disposed of. Thus is in
augurated the era Of a new agency in
warfare which is likely to call Il serious
halt in the prevalent passion for enor-
nous iron clads, rams, tunelled ships
that has possessed all the great powers
for some years passed. 1t was FORUM
ate that our own government was re-
strained from embarking in those eX-
periments and was content with the
wretched collection of old worn-out
wooden ships, only fit for pleasure ex-
cursions of Cabinet officers families or
for firing salutes, or for school houses
for young sailors salutes. The value
and effectiveness OF these great naval
pachydermata, have vanished in the
smoke of these big guns before that
new diabolism of the torpedo. Our
great war at it's beginning illustrated
the value of the iron ram in naval war
| fare and at its close it exemplified the
greater destructive power of the tor
pedo by the blowing up and sinking OF
Farragut's monitor in Mobile Bay.
The Russians have adopted this idea
and employed it, in default of naval
force, so as to render Turkeys naval
superiority in the Black Sea valueless.

Thursday night in the parish Jail. He
was on a forced visit to Mississippi
where he had killed q man, and was
leaving Texas where he had slain an
other man, and Arkansas where he had
stolen Il buggy harness. He was ac-
companied by the Sheriff of Union
parish and by DIR. Weathersby, the
brOther-in-law Of the man murdered by
Latinneer in Wilkinson county, Miss.
Mr.. Latinneer was 50 careless with his
matches in Jail as to set fire to some
cotton, which extended to his scant
bedding and caused q lusty scream OF
fire from the other inmates of the Jail,
the ringing of the fire alarm, and the
tiring-up Of the "Pride Of Monroe"
Mr.. Latinneer, however, got Off on the
train the following morning accom-
panied by his escort.

opinion of the fire law, and why we
had not given our opinion after pub

full control of the whole question. They
made law, and they could repeal it

zed to frame good law,
