TRUE INDEPENDENCE,

We need more manliuess, more real
independence. We must take care of
ourselves. We must take care of our
children. This we can do by labor. This
we can do and preserve our indepen-
dence. We should endeavor to choose
that business or profession the pursuit
ofwhich will give the most happiness.
We can be happy without being rich,
Or famous. There is a serenity about
the life of farmer and a hope of Sc
rene old age that no other business or
profession can promise. A professional
man is doomed at last to feel that all his
powers are waning. He Is doomed to
see younger and stronger men pass him
in the race oflife; and he is doomed to
pass an old age of intellectual mediocre
ty. But on the farm he goes as it were
in partnershipiwith nature; he lives with
flowers and trees there is no frightful
strain upon the mind !; the nights are
filled with sleep and rest he watches
his fiocks and herds on the green slopes
he hears the pleasant rain falling upon
his corn, and the trees he planted in
youth rustic above, while he plants 9TH
ers for the children yet to be.
THE KIND OF EDUCATION NEEDED.
Our country is filled with unemployed
men ; and the great question to-day
asking for solution is, what shall be
done with these men, or rather, what
shall these men do? The only answer
in my Judgment is, they must cultivate
the soil. Farming must be more desir
able. 1t must be elevated in its charac
ter, SO that those who work the lant
will Lave an honest pride in their bust

ST. BARBARA.

We have received an invitation from COL John
Glynn, Jr., of the Louisiana Field Artillery, to
attend grand military mass, to be celebrated at
the st. Louis Cathedral, on Sunday the 9th inst,
in honor Of st. Barbara, the patron saint Of can
none ers. A collection will be taken during the
service for the benefit of the st. Mary's Orphan
Asylum, which is sadly in need of help.
st. Barbara, according to some accounts, suf-
fered martyrdom at Heliopolis, in Egypt, at the
hands of her own father, who was bigoted hea-
then and offered himself as the executioner OF
his own daughter in dudgeon of her having en-
braced Christianity. No sooner had the unnatu-
raj father accomplished the murderous deed but
he was struck by lightning.
st. Barbara has, ever since the invention of
gunpowder, been adopted as patron saint of
artillery and her image reverenty placed on
arsenals and powder magazines. Ia the French
navy the powder magazine still retains the name
Of "Ste. Barbe."
In the old ante-bellum days, when the battalion
OF Orleans artillery was a feature Of our militia
punctiliously observed and salutes were fred in
honor and reverence Of her memory by the ar
tillerists.
St. Barbara's Day comes on the 4th Of Deem
Der, but will be celebrated by our cannoneers on
the Sunday following. We hear that the Orleans
Artillery will also celebrate the day by attending
High Mass in body at the Jesuits Church on
Bsronne street and firing salute. We are happy
to see that under the new regime of liberated
Louisiana the legendary customs of olden times
are coming to the surface. 1t ia only by the
poetical respect paid to the ennobling memories
of the past that the hallowed traditions of honor
are kept alive.

CUT OFF IN HIS YOUTH,

Last Monday were laid away in the grave the
remains Of young man, well known and greatly
beloved by all in this community who had the
pleasure Of his acquaintance. William J. Agar,
the son Of Mr.. William Agar, one Of the most
prominent and highly esteemed OF our merchants,
was cadet at the Virginia Military Institute at
Lexington, in which "Stonewall" Jackson was
Professor, and which Robt. E. Lee was the pres-
dent. He fell victim to disease which quickly
carried him off, and his mortal remains were
brought here the place OF his nativity for inter-
ment. young man Of brilliant promise, genial
disposition and most attractive qualities his loss
is most seriously felt not only by his relatives but
by very large circle OF admiring and appre-
ciative friends. The funeral was very largely
attended, and the floral offerings were most pro-
fuse and beautiful. Among these we noticed
cross, crown and q wreath-all in remarkable
good state Of preservation-sent as tribute OF
affection and respect by his fellow cadets at the
Lexington Institute. His bereaved parents have
our heartfelt sympathies and coincidence.

DRAINING ITEMS.

Administrator MoOaffrey has for some time
past been engaged in draining the vlcin-
ity Of the ridge cemeteries of surface
water by means of sluices leading into

been similarly attended to, and Mr. McCaffrey
proposes shortly, also. to establish drains at the
foot Of Esplansde street, near tho bridge, which

The committee appointed to inquire into the
complaints made against the contractor Of the
Melpomene drainage machine visited the ma

the water down 10 the canals in his district. The
committee will make their report to the Council

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
DIFFERENCES ABOUT ASSESSMENT
ROLLS.

The state Auditor wants Them Made by

A few days ago Administrator Rengstorff
turned over the assessments to Auditor Jumel,
who, however, declined. to receive them FORM

the rolls are not made by representative dis
tricts, as is usual.
MIR. Rengstorf, however, contends that he has
complied strictly with the provisions OF the reve-
nue. act, which authorizes him to divide the city
into assessment districts, and refers to the fol-
lowing section 83 OF the act, which reads as fol.
lows: 'Be 1t further enacted, etc., That the said
assessors so appointed shall constitute board
Of assessors for the parish Of Orleans
under the supervision OF the Administrator Of
Assessments, who shall be ex- officio member
and presiding officer of said board, and they shall
immediately after the passage Of the act COM
mence the work Of assessing the property Of the
parish as directed by the said Administrator OF
Assessments"
MIR. Rengstorff
FURTHER CLAIMS
that nowhere in the act Ia there any mention
made to representative districts" In connection
with city assessments, nor even In connection
with country assessments. As divided by Mr..
Rengstorf the city contains sixteen assessment
districts. Five OF these districts are contained
within the First Municipal District, In which
there are only three representative districts
The Second and Third Municipal Districts
are each divided into two assessment districts,
whilst each contain three representative districts
This, the administrator says, was done for the
better con yenience Of the board. and, he adds,
that 10 cannot be objected to. Each municipal
district has its own tax collector, and no ASSESS
ment district Is comprised within two municipal
80 that the tax collectors cannot be en-
barrassed in the performance of their duties.
