The way a plucky downtown girl
treated some mischievous gossips not
long since contains at least two morals.
Learning that sundry neighbors were
making very unpleasant remarks, and
without reason, about herself and gen
tleman friend, she went promptly to
them, told what she had heard, said she
liked the young man, her parents dis
liked him, and that she was going to
marry him as soon as she was through
her studies, ending up with the remark
that she hoped to hear nothing more
from them on the subject, and she hasn't.

Gays be does not believe they were
let according to law, etc. am as
ignorant as he rs 20 whether they
have been let out according To law
or not. and don't know that they
were really let ut all; but this / do
know. that those who keep the fer
ries pay SO little for the privilege
that the expense of making the
contracts legal, aud enforcing a
compliance with the law, would
incur ! tax against the parish in
stead Of a revenue toit. If public
ferrymen expect protection in their
privileges, they must not only com
ply with the law. but they must
give a reasonable compensation.
They should not expect something
for nothing. I agree with "Mont-
gomery" that, unless the lessecs OF
ferries pay more and keep them
better, let anyone put in his boats,
etc. SoUTH SIDE.
Hold on, gentlemen: don't put
in your boats yet. Public ferries
are not established for revenue
purposes, but as public necessity
and convenience; and they are
when properly kept. one of thu
marks of an enlightened and well
governed community. Then, yol

We are sorry to state that the
election held in New Orleans on
the 25th inst. resulted in the de-
feat OF the tax bill in favor of the
above road. The majority against
the tax was over 500O--only 1000
votes less than the entire number
cast in it's favor. We hope, for
the interest of the State, and espe-
cially of New Orleans, that this
result argues no want of desire
for the completion of the road

Wheelock, and the public spirited
men with him, will organize Other

owner in this parish, and at that
time Representative from the
parish of Rapides, presented q
petition to that honorable body in

Rapides and VIM parishes, ask
ing that certain changes might be
made in the boundary lines Of
those parishes, SO as to form new
and separate parish. The bill al
ready prepared was soon engross,
ed and became O law, without
opposition, and Grant Parish
sprang into existence as quickly
and noiselessly as mushroom
the rapid growth of night. By
the same act a seat Of government
was provided for the new parish
according to the provisions Of tina
instrument, to be located lat o,

citizens, whose opinions were no
