denced by the large patronage it daily re-
ceives. The constant throng that fill the

hours. may be taken for the fact that

city OF the heat; that the mortality of St.
Louis was at least three times as great as last
year at the same period, and that much suf-
fering and serious injury to business was the
result of this plague. All this was undoubted-
ly true. 1t Is probable, however, that these
facts have been grossly exaggerated by the
correspondents of the Eastern papers for the
purpose OF creating sensation, and, possibly,
also for the purpose Of iniuring st. Louis as a
city, and running its business. It is this fact
which has aroused the st. Louis press to Its
present state of virtuous Indignation.
New Orleans can synlpathize with the ''fu-
ture great city" in this calamity, knowing
how often Northern cities have taken advan-
tage of sickness here to bring groundless
charges of unhealthlness against our city.
Indeed, the very st. Louis papers that as
sault the journals of New York for their
malicious charges against st. Louis contain
very similar slur against our city.

The "hot wave" that passed over New
York last week showed some of the worst
features Of the tenement houses, in which
100000 people of that city live. These build
ings were several degrees hotter than the
open street, and 1t became absolutely impos-
sible for any one to remain In them. At no time
in the night for several nights in succession,
was the temperature in these houses less than
800. OF course 1t was impossible to sleep in
them, and their inmates sought the GALLERIES,
roofs and door-steps for sleeping place
These accommodated many, but so densely
are these houses peopled that scarcely half
of their inmates could find even these unde-
sirable beds Thousands sought the open
street for rest, sleeping on the pavement or
on the fronts of stores, wherever they could
get little fresh air; while others who could
not get to sleep, walked up and down the
street to catch little air. Such is q New
York summer.

The reply of the Warm Spring Indians to
the sanity Howard, of Freedmen's Bureau
fame when he asked them for twenty-five
scouts for frontier duty, shows clearly that
the religious instruction which the United
States has so bountifully provided for its In
Giians is not entirely thrown away on them.
They had been instructed by the missiona-
ries. These Indians replied that fighting was
altogether wrong; that all men ought to re-
main at peace with all their fellow-me4.
They were rapidly becoming civilized Indians
under this instruction, cultivating the soil,
and now the government wanted them to 60
back to their wild habits Of old and become
fighters and warriors.
The sanity Howard combated the idea en-
SPECIFICALLY and endeavored TO overcome these
scruples. He argued that the question
whether killing was justitiable or not de-
pended largely on who was killed. His argu-
znents on this question were 80 conclusive that
he won over the Warm Spring Indians to his
way Of think ng, and they undertook to drop
their religious scruples to kill large num-
Der Of Bannocks and Shoshones, at 500
apiece down and $40 a month, which offer
was promptly refused by the government.
Evidently tie missionary work Of the post
traders is not wholly wasted. white man
could hardly have shown more thorough
appreciation of the situation and better
knowledge of his religious duties than these
same Warm Spring Indians.

ST. LANDRY.
The OpeIousas Courier says

The OpelOusas Courier says:
The New Orleans DEMOCRAT, in its issue Of
the thirteenth, says that DR.. VIM. A. Robert
soD of this parish, although he opposed
throughout the last session of the Legislature
the call Of constitutional convention and the
repeal of the law creating the lottery monOp-
oily, yet he was convinced that both measures
should prevail, and promised the DEMO
Graf that, at the next session of the
Legislature, he would be among the fore
most to advocate the call of q constitu-
tional convention and the destruction Of all
monOpolies. The Doctors promises of future
good conduct cannot win the people OF this
parish to his support when they are brought
face to face with his deliberate opposition, in
his place In the Senate, to those measures of
reform asked for by the people and SO much
needed. But we know OF no promises made
here at hOme to his constituents, that he will
give up his opposition to those measures. He
| has made none such to this people, that we
know OF, nor have we heard of his making any,
II. however, he should proclaim from the
house-tops and on the public highways in
ing, constitutional convention in 1879,
and OF destroying all monopolies in
the State, how could he expect the peo-
pie to have faith. in his promises, when his
past acts as a Senator, which are better expo
nents Of his intentions than his words, show
his deliberate and well-matured hostility to
the measures that he promises no1v to sup
port.
When we look back at the Doctors career
In the last Legislature and then at his present
position, and consider the promises that the
DEMOCRAT says he has made to it, we are for
chilly reminded Of the old couplet
When the devil was sick, the devil saint would
be; Ses'->s " NNlN
When the devil got we'll, the devil of saint was
hel
Nevertheless we assure our st. Landry
friends that we reported accurately the views
expressed to US by DR.. Robertson just ante
rior to the assembling of the Legislature. If he
has not come out broadly and unequlvocally
against the monopolies and in favor of con-
stitutional convention, he is an untrustworthy
politician, and the Democracy of st. Landry
should wipe him out Of political existence by
electing Senator in his stead who will truly
represent them,

There exists in this city class of people
who seem to live upon the hope that some
dire calamity will befall the community, and
who take strange kind of delight in antici-
patiug evil and spreading rumors calcu-
lated to strike terror into the hearts of stran-
gers, both at home and abroad.
In times of commercial uneasiness they go
about whispering vague stories Of the I'M
soundness Of our moneyed institutions and the
early bankruptcy of houses who have the
widest extended business relations New
Orleans Times.
Very true, and the same criticism may pro-
perly be applied to the Times itself, which,
for the last few days has been taxing its in
genuity to the utmost to exhibit Louisiana in
the light Of an insolvent debtor.

Brooklyn is afraid of hydrophobia, and yet
more afraid of Bergh. It is the fashion in
that city every summer to cut short the
career of all stray ours adrift on its streets.
This year this plan was proposed again, and
a number of dogs were arrested; but how to
get rid Of these is still an unsolved question.
The city proposed drowning, but this was at
once prohibited by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, alias Bergh,
which threatened the whole city government
with arrest II they dared to torture the I'M
fortunate brutes in this inhuman manner
Four other modes of killing the captured
dogs were then proposed~-clubbing bleeding,
decapitation and hanging. To all of these
modes Bergh objected as brutal, without,
however, suggesting any easy and economical
way of getting rid of these nuisances. The
question is still under discussion in Brook
Ign, while the city is compelled to support
the army of unfortunate ours it has already
on it's hands until it can discover some way
of killing dogs without hurting them.

GREAT JACKSON ROUTE.
THE QUICKEST TIME EAST.

This line is now making the quickest time
to New York ever known, leaving New Or
leans daily at AS p. m. and arriving at New
in time between the two cities, the run is
made in the unprecedented time of fifty-nine
and three-quarter hours. This quick time
Is made only by the Great jackson route,
and is the result of its enterprise in rebuild
ing its track at great expense with steel rails
Only one change of cars, which is made at
Columbus, o., where breakfast is taken in the
splendid dining hall at that place at 8 a. m,
This route also makes the quickest time to
Boston, arriving at Q 40 p. m. Actual running
time, sixty-seven and one-half hours. The
time to all intermediate points is correspond
ingly less, thus making this the quickest and
best route to all the Northern and Eastern cities
Excursion tickets to Waukesha, Oconomo-

sorts. to Niagara Falls, Put-in-Bay, etc, are
on sale at the lowest rates, with the quickest
time made by any line, and only one change

st. Louis celebrated last Friday the two
hundred and fifth anniversary of the explora-
ton Of the Mississippi river by Marquette and
Joliet. The festival was given under the
auspices of the st. Louis Historical Society.
1T was originally intended to have been held
Wednesday, but the hot weather of that day
prevented this, and the celebration was post
poned two days. The attendance was bril-
liant and the whole affair proved great sue
cess. The ceremonies embraced speeches by
eminent gentlemen, choral performances, the
procession and ceremony Of unwilling the
busts of Columbus and Marquette, etc.
It is pity that other portions of the Mis-
sissippi Valley were not represented in this
festival, In which, it would seem, the whole
valley ought to have joined. 1t is to be hoped
that this, or some similar festival, will be kept
up. 1t will unite the States of the Mississippi
Valley more closely and also tend to preserve
and resurrect the traditions and stories O
early Louisiana from that oblivion into which
they are rapidly sinking
The Missouri Historical Society has already
done wonders in preserving and collecting
date respecting the early history of thai
State and If 1t be assisted by the associations
of other States embraced in the Louisiana
purchase, 1t will be able to get the history o
the Mississippi Valley into shape.

The New Orleans Democrat, in an article
headed "The st. Landry Case after stating
that the Courier has all along been an earnest
advocate of q constitutional convention, says
1.-THE Opelousas Democrat, though not so pro-
nounced, we understand also to be in favor OF
this great popular movement"
Now we should like to know from whom the
DEMOCRAT understands this. The st. Landry
Democrat is one Of the warmest of the advO-
Gates of the amendments, and this Of itself
implies opposition to the calling of @ cOnven-
tion To our certain knowledge not one word
or sentence has ever appeared in the Democrat
favoring a convention, and it is continually
reproducing articles and extracts from its ex-
changes opposed to the calling Of q cOnven-
vention-[Opelousas Courier.
In writing rapidly we mentioned the Ope-
Iousas Democrat instead of the Washington
(St Landry NeWs. We meant to say that
our excellent contemporary, the Courier, and
also the Washington Neogs, were for q con-
vention. We knew the Democrat was an
amendment paper.

opportunity the age has given to mould ma
tion righteously for years to come" Says
he: "The moment men, supposed to be states
men, proclaimed that lofty hour ended,
the mass naturally sunk to the care of their
material interests. When Senators and jour-
nails ridiculed the bloody shirt they laugh
ed their power away, as Cervantes did the
manhood Of Spain"
The only issue left, since the party has for
saken this higher plane of persecution and
Islander of the South, and fallen to the de-
graduation of material interests" Is the
money question. Upon this he says: "Com-
mon prudence would have been quick to seize
this new weapon Of finance. Henry Wilson's
keen eye, careful only for success,
confessed this the summer before he died.
Speaking of the first issue joined on finance,
in the Ohio election Of 1875, when the Demo
cratic party seized the question, he said to
us: 1T is a great mistake zoe should have
started the greenbaCk cry; how ruinous to let
the Democrats get ahead of usH II wise
counsels had prevailed, this issue might for
some time have been delayed. But, once
afoot, it will crowd all others out"

The adjournment Of the Democratic Nomi-
mating Convention in the Sixth Congressional
District of Texas without making nomina-
lions, will embolden the Republicans of West
ern Texas, so the Galveston NetCs says, to
run candidate for Congress. 1t has been
proposed to cali the Democratic Congress
sional convention together again in Septem-
Der; but, on the other hand, it is urged that
this will result In no good; that 1t will not
break the dead lock between Schleicher and
ireland. There seems to be little doubt that
both these gentlemen will run for Congress,
and that the vote of the district will be fairly
divided between them. There is hardly any
danger to be feared from the Republican can
didate, which it is now thought will enter the
field, Mr.. Schleicher having carried this dis
frict at the last election by nearly 10000 ma
jority. The hunt of the Republicans for Con-
gressional districts In the South has not met
with much success. They have not yet met
with any district that they can possibly carry.

The ST. Louis papers have lost their tenn
pers over the heated spell that lately visited
that city, and break out in the most bitter de
nunciations of the press of other cities, but
particularly of the New York Herald, for the
false and malicious stories telegraphed con.
corning st. Louis to the Eastern press. Ac.
cording to the Republican, the dispatches sent
to the New York and Chicago papers con-
corning the condition of affairs existing in
st. Louis during the hot spell were utterly
without foundation-the fruit of perjury and
prejudice.
It win be rather difficult for st. Louis, how
ever, to brush away all these stories. There
is no doubt that scores of people died in that
