THE DEMOCRACY OF TENsAs PARISH.

A mass meeting of tho Democrats of
Tensas parish was held on the 10th
inst, at which meeting Col. L. V.
Reeves was made president, and II. G.
Sasche, ESD, secretary. We copy the
resolutions, not having space for the
proceedings entire, and the list of dele
gates appointed to the Baton Rouge
and Monroe conventions
Resolved, 1st, That the Democratic
party of this parish fully endorses the
Nichols Government, and takes this
occasion to express its entire confidence
in the integrity, ability and patriotism
of Gov. Francis II. Nichols.
End. That US party, we fully en-
dorse the course of the New Orleans
Democrat, and commend it to the
patronage of the party throughout the

3rd. That whilst we regard our pres
ent State Constitution as very impcr-
feet and Objectionable instrument, yet
! we can never consent to attempt its
Improvement by 21atclt-sOork.
4th. That we are, therefore, unWjll-
ing to have the proposed amendments
adopted as a party measure, and are
| unalterably opposed to the Amendment
No. 2, which restricts tho power of the
parishes in levying taxes within such
narrow limits as to insure the annual
submergence of this parish by floods
from the Mississippi river.
9Th. That VIC favor a Convention to
frame an entire new Constitution, and
we believe the financial condition of
the State Treasury will fully warrant
the expense of such a proceeding.

for candidate for Congress at the APP
preaching election, is our fellow-citi-
zen, l.. v. Reeves, Esq. He needs nc
eulogy from us, and we confidently

PEELED without steam or caloric. the
action OF the waves being the only mo-
tive power. The driver is screw pro.
peller. Of course, but it is moved by q
shaft extending lsterally through the
vessels sides like paddle shaft. The
experimental craft recently made a
trial trip and averaged fifteen miles per
hour of Sandy Hook where the swell
was the strongest Vessels of this
kind could run fast enough in rough
water. but III smooth places like Puget
Sound. they would have to be towed in
and out Of dock. But as ii costs thirty.
seven tons of coal per day to rnn the
Dakota. this expense would be tritling
one il the rest of the voyage could be
made without the aid of steam. We
have not much faith in the new affair,
for tho caioric engine Of Ericsson was
good enough till it was put in rough
water. The wave action is novel and
works very well on models. but whether
it will stand practical application to
the ordinary requirements of commerce
remains to be seen.

WORTHY OF IMITATION.

The city of Los Angeles was, in the
early days of California. more famous
fof mur.ierous brawls and slothfnl,
vicious population than any other town
in the State. But the great progress
which that neighborhood has made in
the culture of oranges and grapes has
revolut;onized society altogether. The
cock-fghting Dons have. most Of them,
aold out to the more thrifty Germans
and Americans, aud gone to Mexico 70
crafty their Unborn propensity for in
dolenee; while the few that remain are
obscured in the quiet OF their cattle
ranches.
The new men, seeing that the en-.
ployment Of Chinese laborers would
drive white boys out of many channels
Of employment conceded to them else
where, have organized an institute at
which boys are bound out by their par
ents for the term Of five years. The
first two years they are taught an AGA
demic course of study; then they are
taught some mechanical trade for three
years; they to receive cne-h half their
wages at the expiration Of the term for
which they are indentured. The other
half goes to defray the expenses Of
their tuition and maintaiuance. In this
way boys become instructed III the du-
ties of good citizens aud are fitted to
enter upon the race Of life. Immediately
upon attaining their majority.
We begin to see the necessity of
some such steps i'm this neighborhood.
We have too many boys growing up
here in idleuess and crowded ont of
useful labor by the baneful influences
Of Chinese competition. We have not
sufficient farming lands to employ them
at agriculture and the drugery of saw
mill work 10 too heavy for them. A
wooden mill would be q great help in
this respect. but We do not produce
enough Of the raw staple to warrant
the expenditure. Coal mining, like
numbering, is too heavy labor for I'M
seasoned sinews and cannot safely be
given to boys.
Yet, difficult ~ il seems to be. to
reach the proper expedients for correct
ing . growing evil. all will agree with
us that q remedy must be devised and
that before long. The spectacle Of
three boys in the prisoners dock of
police court. is not pleasing one, es-
peciAlly when we remember that their
parents have clothed and schooled
them we'll and expended every effort to
make them useful members of society
We must find employment for these
boys. of some sort or other. Anything
is better than having them roaming the
uo1o0o1nnfter nightfall and penetrating
ioodlumism. They must have
lhg to employ their mind and
