Financial Condition.
mo. Democrat.

We can find nothing in the c"ndi'
ton Of our State finances to justify
any doubt Of the entire e"lveucy OF
Louisiana. We have carefully ex'
amiued the data available fm the
forming of correct opini"" in regard
to this matter, and We he,e present t"
our readers the results Of our inves.
tigation. From an inspection of the
settlements made by tax collectors
and of the Auditors report. &c find
that the collection If taxes during the
first quarter Of 1873, is thirty eight
parishes Of the state, amounts al
ready to the snm Of $653,M5 53'
There remain yet twenty parishes I"
be heard from, and the collections
mnde in these parishes will "ndouht-
~ swell the aggregate" I" quite SNW,-
600 for the first quarter vt the year.
| When We consider the fact that the
revenue aud assessing AID c"llrc'i":
laws were passed late in III" month
of March, during the extra session ut
the Legislature that many 'aApay
Ola delayed payments in anticipation"
of reduction i" the rate ct taxation.
and that over $500, 900 were collected
in the above mentioned thirty eight
parishes during the month Of March
alone, We must conclude that the cot
lections for this year have far sur
passed those of any previous year.

THE R

We believe in brevity, in coming to the
point at once and wasting no time. We,
too, like short conrtships, and in this Adam
acted like q sensible mamie fell asleep y
bachelor, and awoke to find himself q mar
ried man. He appears to have popped the
question almost Immediately afteE meeting
Miss Eve, and she, without Irritation or shy
ness, gave him a kiss and herself. OF thai
first kiss in the world, we have had our own
thoughts, however, and sometimes, in a
poetical mood, wished we were the man that
did it. But the deed is done-the chance
was Adams. and he improved it. We like
the notion of getting married in a garden.
Adams was private. No envions aunts and
granting grandmothers. The birds Of the
heavens were the MINISTRIES, and the glad
sky flung its light on the scene. One thing
about the first wedding brings queer
thoughts to us in spite Of its scriptnral
truth. Adam and his wife were rather
young to marry ; n two or three days
old, according to the sagest elder; without
experience, without a house, y pot Or kettle;
nothing but love and Eden.
