MISCELLANY.

KrssrNe.-There is great deal in a kiss
Adams first kiss of Eve must have been
queer seusation--lil<e the feeling Of man
who first ate an oyster. In ancient Rome,
kiss was religious ceremony. The nearest
friend Of dying person received his soui "
by a kiss for the soul was supposed to leave
the body through the lips. Pliny thinks the
Romen woman began to degenerate when
they kissed everybody miscelaneously. 1t
was a treacherous sin. In Judas, the betrayer.
Among the early Christians, kiss was the
"seal of prayer In our times kiss means
a great deal-from the kiss between
two young ladies, to the kisses recorded In the
following stories. Here is number one
ga tender swain reproached his fair one
with letting a rival kiss her hand--a fact
which she Indignantly denied. "But saw
it." "Nay, them" cried the offended one.
az am now convinced that yon do not love
me, since you believe your eyes in preference
to my word"
Number two Is also sharp and pithy Z:
A gentleman kissed LADY, hand In a fit OF
gallantry. She deliberately drew her glove
off and dropped it on the floor. "Why do
you do that p" he asked. "Oh," she repli-
ed, az never wear soiled gloves" And
l." said he, picking 1t up and putting 1t in
the fire, /" do not like to see dirty things lying
about"
That anecdote might be called a fair in
stance Of tit-for-tat, or Roland for an
Oliver.

TIE TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE,

One of the greatest triumphs of medical
science has been achieved in this city
since 1870 by the indefatigable efforts of
DR.. G. B. White, DIR. A. H. Perry, DR.. E.
S. Herrick, DR., Joseph Holt, the late DR..
Albers, and those associated with them in
the charge Of our sanitary affairs. In
spite of the determined opposition of
many of the leading members of the fac
ulty, ana the preiudices born of ignorance
entertained by the lay population, they
persevered in their plan Of fighting yellow
fever by means of disinfecting agencies
until it has come to be considered indis-
pensable. The adoption of this plan by
the present board, composed as it is of
some of the best physicians in New Or
leans, is at once a recognition Of the emil
nent services of their predecessors and an
evidence of their own excellent judgment.
We especially commend the public atten-
ton to the conclusive arguments of DR..
Austin in the board last night. He proves
by irrefutable statistics that the practice
of disinfection, once SO unpopular, has
almost completely removed the scourge of
yellow fever from the city, and at least di-
vested it of its principal terrors. DR..
Austin himself is an old and experienced
physician, and praise from him is COM
pliment indeed

which they run parallel. This would be
something under twenty-four miles.
2. The right to connect with the New
Orleans Pacific railroad, and use at equal
rates should be assured to the Morgan or
any other railroad having the same gauge.
8. The right should be reserved to the
city not only to appoint directors, but to
impose limit upon fares and freights.
f. A guarantee that the road shall not
pass into hands which will administer its
operations in the interest of other cities.
5. A regulation assuring to every part
of the city, as well below as above Canal
street, the right of passenger and freight
| stations.
We have given some principal condi-
tions Which should be required by the city
guardians before placing the proceeds of
a tax in the hands of any corporation.
We would like to see the conditions ap-
piled to this and to all other corporations
that the State Legislature shall have the
power to alter, amend or repeal any fran
chise granted. 1t is a summary quo gar
ranto reserved by some States jealous of
corporate abuses.
We consider railroads indispensable to
| the existence-we do not restrict ourselves
to say the prosperity-of every city.
We believe that every man who Shout
ders musket or Yields an implement Of
labor has a right to vote tax on the
property which he defends by his courage
or improves in value by his labor, but
these voters wish no injustice to the land
lords and pawnbrokers. They would not
deliver them to corporation which would
plumber and Cypress them. We may speak
for the colored laborers who will be voters.
They know that anything which brings
more bales and sends away more barrels
gives them more employment and better
wages. They understand that some hum
dreds Of thousands expended in the earth
work, cross ties and track laying will
come into their hands as the best opera
tives for the purpose; but they also know
that their future interest in this road will
depend upon its just and efficient opera
ton, and their vote will depend greatly
upon the contract which the corporate au-
thorities shall make with the city author
tiles. We consider it of great importance
that the control of the city government
has passed from the hands of officers who
asserted the original independent SOW
ereignty of a city corporation; who de-
MED the right of any to vote upon the
question of taxation unless they were
taxed with real estate. We shall be
proud to show these political aristocrats
that they have done injustice to the pa
tient and most illiterate laborers. We
shall be proud to convince the property
lords that the colored voters have no in
tention to do them injustice and may be
trusted alike with the protection of prop
erty in war and with its development in
time of peace. Let the city government
hold a conference with the railroad di-
rectory and make such terms of agree
ment as will assure to the citizens of New
Orleans the full advantage of the contri-
button which they tax themselves to be-
stow upon work indispensable to the
commercial existence of New Orleans.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-05-12

Orleans 70 her positive position and rela-
tive rate Of progress as an American city,
will require the total oblivion Of and OPP
position to, every principle of Southern
Democracy, with the active adoption OF
the principles which the Republican par
ty has inscribed upon the constitution,
and the measures of material develop
ment and industrial protection by which
that party has developed alike the capital,
the commerce, and other industries Of the
nation. If the Conservative Legislature
was in earnest in the resolutions indoors
ing the Republican administration and
the Republican policy, if TIE Conservative
Governor will execute his programme OF
political and social liberation, we may
anticipate an impartial analysis of our
commercial condition, with the adoption
of an intelligent system for its repara-
ton.
We deny that tha decline Of New Or
leans has been due to the misrule of Re-
publican State administrations, but we
assert that it is only by the adoption and
execution of Republican principles and
measures that the evil can ever be reme-
died. While, therefore, the Republicans are
not exactly in voice to intone an anthem
for the victory which has been vouch-
safed Governor Nichols, over what they
may deem law and order, there are none
who will with more enthusiasm than our
selves join in hosannah over the re-
stored prosperity and accelerated progress
of this Niobe of the cities, the discrowned
queen of the Mississippi valley

OUR MECHAETcAL COLLEGE,

We can not repress our surprise that
the city representatives should have con-
scented to allow both the Agricultural and
Mechanical Colleges, endowed by the
United States, to be removed from this
city. 1t is as plain that farm work can
not be taught in town as that practical
instruction in mechanics. can not be given
in the country. Why should not these
two colleges be separated? 1t may be
said that the endowment is insufficient
for their maintenance in different places.
The State has public buildings in Baton
Rouge and in New Orleans adequate to
the accomm odation of each. The pay of
the teachers must be separate; why not
then place these colleges where they may
be most useful?
The want of mechanical education has
been felt throughout the South, and espe-
cially in this city. The mechanical col
lese under the direction of ]. L. Cross,
Esq, principal, has two hundred pupils
and, as we understand, three hundred ap-
plicants for admission. The anxiety to
become a machinist, an architect, an en-
gineer, or chemist without the toll of
apprenticeship, impels this solicitude for
instruction. The convenience of attend
ing this college, without other expense
than the time of study, has precipitated
this crowd of students and applicants. Is
it supposed that an equal number of pu-
pills would attend school in any village
in the State? We may add that class Of
young ladies at the college is taking les
sons in telegraphy and drawing. The
reasons for this extraordinary attendance
of scholars of both sexes are found in
the fact that there is large and respect
able mechanical interest here which ap-
preciates the advantages of science
as applied to the mechanic arts.
Many of the young men who at
attend such exhibitions are themselves
apprentices and journeymen, and thus
combine the practice with the science of
their future occupations. 1t is really to
be hoped that the Governor will look
carefully to the act directing the removal
of both these institutions from New Or
leans.
Possibly by comforting with the authori-
ties at Baton Rouge they may be willing
to accept d separation of the two colleges,
and we would not object to their having
the larger share of the appropriation, be-
lieving that the pupils of the Mechanical
College would pay moderate sum to aid
in maintaining the institution, and even
that the State or city would appropriate
something from the school fund to sus-
tain peculiar course of education, so
much needed and so very useful to the
| State

,IUBII,ANT,

Last Thursday was great day for the
Democrats of Louisiana and all who sym
pathized with them. They were jubilant
over the expulsion from Office of the Re-
publicans, and their own restoration to
rule after sixteen years of compulsory
abstinence from official pap. So joyful
were they as to compel from those whose
lossis their gain sort of semi-sympathy;
so joyful that they forgave these defeated
and out-generaled Republicans, and most
magnanimously abstained from ''the
slightest manifestation of mean triumph"
over them. This triumphal demonstra-
ton of the Democracy was graced by the
presence of United States soldiery, repre-
senting the administration of Presi-
dent Hayes, and testifying to his
sympathy with its object. Perhaps this
was because this joyful outpouring
of Democratic thanksgiving was at
one and the same time an expression of
local political sentiment and a tribute to
the success of the presidential Southern
policy. Patriotic Republicans of highly
disinterested characters and benevolent
disp positions were also enabled to partici-
pate in the public rejoicings from another
motive than the mere contagion of joyous
enthusiasm; for while the celebration
glorifed the triumph Of Democratic indi-
viduals it also glorified that of Republican
principles, there being now in point of
fact but one party in Louisiana the Re
publican. Equality of all men before the
law, equal educational advantages, the SUI
premacy Of the national government, every
principle commended for by The Republican
party at the risk, SO far as Southern Re
publicans were concerned, of mourning
ostracism, cruelty, often death itself;
every principle opposed by the Democratic
party to the extent of inAicting ostracism,
cruelty and even death; every principle
which has heretofore separated Repub-
licans from Democrats with barriers as Of
fire, is now openly received, openly pro-
claimed as the political creed of the De
mocraey.
There is more JOY among the angels
of heaven over one sinner that repenteth,
than over ninety-nine just men who have
no need Of repentance. If Washington
is anything like heaven it must be over
joyed indeed ct the wholesale conversion
which has taken place among the Repub.
lican-D Democrats Of Louisiana.
Let ds charitably hope that this con.
version is real; that the advanced princi.
pies Of Republication may be practically
carried ont by these novices, and that the
sanguine expectations Of the President Of
rebuilding the Republican pArty in this
State, strengthened BY acaessions from
the Democracy, may be realized. It il
not difficult however, 70 induce the PEG
pie to iaud those who give them justwhal
they want; and accordingly the Demo.
