Mans residents~d Carson are probably not
no9nizant of/the fact that.a school exists in
the vicinity of Chinatown, held in the Chi
nose Christian Chapel building, where the
heather are taught our language and customs
by lady teacher, whose name we could not
learn. The attendance is good and regular,
the pupils numbering about % or 30, whose
ages range from 10 to 40 years. Among the
number are several young Cinnamon born in
California The manner in which they ex-
press themselves in our tongue Is very cute
indeed. and sounds musical to the ear. They
devote themselves to their studies with great
diligence, and appear over anxious to master
all that is being taught them. The younger
pupils overcome the difficulty of calculating
the letter or in a comparatively short space
of time after entering the school, and are
eoually DESTROYS of reaping the benefits Of
this crude educational establishment with the
old. Their desire for knowledge is Unsuitable.
There are some of the young scholars, not
more than 10 years old, who work all day in
the kitchens or about the houses of white
families, and when evening comes, after the
conclusion of their daily toll, pack up their
books and scamper away to school with as
much glee and anticipation of pleasure as
most of our boys at that age would experience
running to circus or picnic. We are not
lovers of the Chinese race, but cannot deslst

San Francisco drummers coming here have
devised new dodge to evade the payment of
the license required of them by law for solic-
itipq orders in this State. The drummer will
not enter an order upon his book, but pre-
sents the purchaser Of his wares with pos
tai card, addressed to the firm which ne rep
resents, and instructs his customer to
write his order thereon, after which the
drummer pockets or mails it. The travelling
agents claim that this mode of doing business
cannot be construed as soliciting. It is a
novel dodge, but whether it will work re-
mains TO be seen.

The little paper to which we refer
red in our recent article, White
teachers for public Schools" has, by
the nature of its retort, fully vindica-
ted the character we gave it tor shall
lowness and vulgarity. We seek no
controversy, nor shall we hold one,
with an organ of its small calibre
and unclean instincts, but we shall
notice it so far as to refute the state
ment that the CHIEF is or has been in
favor of mixed schools. That ques-
ton did not enter into the discussion
relative to teachers, and had no more
to do with it than the fact that the
CHIEF is better newspaper in every
respect than the Washington Enter
prise, or the further fact that a
man named Bentley the editor
of the CHIEF once assaulted by
a gang of ruffians and compelled to
leave parish of this State because
his political opinions and affiliations
were listasteful to the dominant class
of the population. We have before
stated that no attempt has ever been
made to establish mixed schools in
Ascension. Under Republican adj
ministration we had separate schools
for white and colored children, and
neither race desired II mixture nor
have their views undergone change
since. But the matter of teachers is
wholly distinct and separate branch
of the subject, and when we insist
that no white teacher suffers degra-
dation in the estimation of fair
minded and thoughtful people, from
assisting in the vital work of in
structing the colored youth, we argue
in perfect harmony with the ablest,
oldest and most orthodox Democratic
journals of Louisiana which have
given the subject any attention. So
far as our observation has extended
there is but one exception-and that
one insignificant ito the attitude of
the State press on the question in
hand.

In the election of Professor D. NJ.
Boyd to the presidency of the Agri-

deserved compliment has been paid
to competent and worthy gentle
man. Col. Boyd has for number of
years been at the head of the State
University, and such was his love
for the Institution and his devotion
to educational work in Louisiana,
that he recently declined lucrative
and eminent position rendered him
by the Khedive of Egypt, preferring
to follow the then falling fortunes of
the University to which he had be-
come so deeply attached.

The Season of Intermittents.

All miasmatic cOmplaints-in other words,
all disorders generated by nnwholesome
exhalations from the earth or water, are
prevalent at this season. In every section
subject to the visitation of fever and ague,
or other forms of intermittent disease, the
causes which produce these maladies are
now actively at work. This, therefore, is
period of the year when the inhabitants of
such districts should prepare their systems
to meet the unwholesome condition of the
atmosphere by course of Alternative and
tonic treatment. Foremost among the in
MIGRANTS recommended by time and expert
ence as means of terrifying the system
against all endemic and epidemic maiadies,
stands Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. BY a
timely use Of the Bitters, the feeblest resi-
dent of an unhealthy soil may escape the
sickness which, without the aid of this po-
tent ally Ct nature, will be apt to oYertake
the strongest.

THE LIRERIAN PROJECT.

We trust no one will labor under
the impression that the CHIEF takes
any stock in the ridiculous scheme
of colored emigration to Liberia.
Sone weeks ago we published an
article, descriptive of the country, its
government, climate, productions,
etc., contributed to our columns by a
gentleman familiar with the subject,
in which the opinion WAS expressed
that the civilization of the colored
mans g fatherland" would be accom-
plished through himself; and the
natural inference created by the argu-
ment was, that the missionaries to
lead in the work of redemption and
progress would be found among the
colored men of the United States.
This did not necessarily Indicate that
an indiscriminate emigration OF col
ored persons from this country should
or would take place. The idea
doubtless was that a chosen few
comparatively speaking of the more
advanced classes of the race, would
become the instruments of Provi-
dence in securing the elevation of
their benighted brethren in Africa to
the plane of enlightenment and civil
cation.
At all events, we know that our
contributor wrote with no sinister
motive-that he has no interest,
beyond that of an attentive observer
of passing events, in the wildcat
proposition to induce the colored
people of the South to emigrate to
Liberia. As to ourselves, the CHIEF
would as soon think of advising the
colored man to commit hari-kari as
of counseling him to leave this
favored and enlightened land to seek
a home on the outskirts of a bowling
wilderness. There may be a glorious
future in store for Liberia, but its
contamination is infinitely farther off
than the certain era of progress and
prosperity which is dawning upon the
negroes of America.
