Happy Home Educator say.


"Our school buildings are worse
than the teachers. The truth is they
are a disgrace. We talk of our civil
Zation and refinement, and still send
our children to school houses little
better than pig sites. Then, the very
first step III improving II public
schools should he to build good, neat,
school houses in every district
There is truth in this. We have seen
public school houses, which were the
rudest of log cabins. with chinks
daubed with mud. but often left open,
and broad enough to permit the young
brats to crawl between them while
the benches We're mere rough-hewn
slabs, with a pile of rock supporting
one end, and a stump. the other. A
narrow desk sometimes runs around
the walls, but it is covered with sand,
leaves. and ink-blotches. so hat a
child of II refinement would rather
hold his book on his lap, bending over
it to the detriment of his health.
There are hundreds of these log-hut
school houses all over the state. and
of the south. And, of course, the
teacher who occupies them readily
realizes the hopelessness of attempting
cleanliness, in such a place. S.

Death Of Hon. John L. Leonard.
HE WAS FATALLY STRICKEN WITH
YELLOW FEVER YESTESDAY
IN HAVANA SKETCH
OF HIS LIFE.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-1n
the House to-day the Speaker, in
terrupting the proceedings, said :
The Chair believes it TO be his
duty, although it is very painful,
to Iay,a communication before
the House. He then handed to
the clerk and had read a telegram
from the Secretary of State, an
nouncing the death in Havana of
yellow fever of the Hon. J. E..
Leonard, Of Louisiana.
Mr.. Ellis, of louisiana am
sure the announcement just made
will carry sincere regret to every
heart that beats here, and to those
who knew Judge Leonard well,
who had opportunities to meet
him socially, this announcement
will carry very great sadness.
1t is not my purpose now to enter
into any detailed account of his
life or public services, nor to eu-
logise those shining virtues which
bound him to those who knew
him Well-virtues not of the head
but Of the heart. At another and
more fitting LAY it will be my du-
ty to pay proper tribute to my
late colleague. | therefore move
that, in respect to the memory Of
the late Judge Leonard, the House
do now adjourn.
The motion prevailed, and the
House, at 4:4O p. M, adjourned
until tomorrow.
Il Victim to YeUoW Feue,'.
The correspondence shows that
Judge Leonard died Of yellow fe-
yer. He has been embalmed, and
Speaker Randall has directed his
remains sent to New Orleans at
the expense of the House Of Rep
resentatiyes. The sad event eau
ses great sorrow here. Judge
Leonard was to have been mar
ried in Cuba S a beautiful young
woman whom he addressed in
New Orleans.

At a ball given at the residence
Of Alfred Hebcrt in tie lower
part OF the parish, OF Tuesday
last, (St. Joseph's Day., a Difficult.
arose between one Placide Mou-
ton, jr., and another party (un.
known to u.s., in which pistols
were drawn and shots fired. Du-
ring the melee a little child Of
Mr.. Alfred HILBERT, only four
years cid, was shot in the head
and instantly killed. The party
committing the deed have not yet
been arVsted.
What a sad thing it is that a
party of ladies' and gentlemen can
not meet together for the purpose
Of enjoying themselves socially in
a few hours recreation without hav-
ing knives, pistols and other dead
ly weapons drawn in their midst
by a set of murderers and despe.
radios. Here we have a young
and innocent child brutally muir
dercd by one Of these hell-hounds
and sent to the cold and silent
tomb by the reckless handling Of
a deadly weapon by one who cares
not for the present nor fears the
future.
There is an act prohibiting per.
sons from carrying concealed
weapons. Why is it not enforced?
One cannot travel fifty yards from
the parish seat without meeting
with those who are armed to the
teeth with knives and pistols, rea-
dy, without p%rovocation, to assault
those who are peaceable and quiet,
for as a general thing, we are a
quiet community.
If a few examples were made
of these desperadoes we would
have less criminals, and conse-
quently less taxes. For it is we'll
known that every criminal who
is arrested and appears before our
courts all fall on the shoulders Of
the taxpayers, for it is they who
have to foot the bill. Let US have
an example. O

THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN
HIS FAVOR AND DISMlLSeo
THE IMPORTATION.

New ORLEANS, March lS.-Ihe
Supreme Court this morning was
crowded with members Of the
bar, politicians and others anxious
to hear the decision in the case
Of Thomas G. Anderson, convicted
IN the Superior Criminal Court,
for publishing as true, forged and
counterfcitcd returns from the
parish Of Vernon.
Chief Justice Manning read a
very lengthy opinion IN the case.
He passed upon The question Of no
preliminary examination before a
committing magistrate was not
necessary. That prosecution by
information was always sustained
in our courts. The record offered
in evidence did not conform with
that mentioned in the information,
the document offered was the con
solidated statement certified by
the register Of voters, and not the
Original returns and the statute
of our State does not attach much
value to this consolidated state
ment. The Original returns not
being altered would not change
the result of the election and in
terfere with the interest of the
people. The paper offered in evil
dence is not the paper charged as
being forged.
The letter Of John Sherman,
Stanley Matthews and others
which appears in the record was
alluded to by the Chief Justice,
who stated tnat it should be trea-
ted by the public in like manner
as that Of the member of the House
of Commons, who attempted to
Influence the decision of the court
in the T'ichborne case.
1t was ordered that the verdict
Of the Jury be set aside and re-
versed, and The prisoner discharg-
from custody.
