for ages. Truth that comes from God
has nothing to fear. Let science go
down il it does anything against God.
Scripture has nothing to fear in the
world; she has no better friend than
science. There was time when as
tronomy was brought against God;
Mathematics was arraycd to come
down, like an avalanche, TO swoop the
word of God, but nothing has disa-
greed with his plan. Telescopes have
also been brought out.
Nature and Revelation are both
Gods books; the hand that wrote one
wrote the other. Both are stamped
with divinity. Are there no footprints
of the devil in the church? Ifso, they
should say, get behind me Satan. In
fiuence of the sects does good, but
Satan uses these as an instrument.
God is now breakisg down these sects
and bringing them in unison. More
and more these barriers will be brok-
en- down until there will be union.
The Roman Catholic church, be-
lieve is not so corrupt. She does a
wonderful amount of good. Look at
her institutions, her homes for Or
phanst DC.
Christ will ride over this world af-
ter while and gather his trophies to-
gether-the spoils of spiritual king
doms, homes of glory, Satanic trophies
make show of them and triumph
over the host of Satan. May the time
come, at no distant day, when we
shall see God in all his glory reigning
and his kingdom established through
out all the earth.

The literature Of the scaffold Is becoming
quite voluminous Isaiah Evans, hung in the
parish or Tangipahoa on the tenth instant for
q causeless and brutal murder, furnishes
the latest contribution. AS usual, Evans
valedictory was made up of whitewnged
angels waiting for his soul. the river Jor-
dan into which he was about to plunge and
calculations OF repentance and hope. We
have no objection to this. When man is
about to be hung he ought to be allowed in
making his parting address, any scope
of discussion he may choose, and it would
be cruel and useless to subject this sort of
oratory to criticism. 1t is the baldest nonsense,
however, for these brutes, as was the case In
this instance, and, in fact, in nearly every re-
cent similar instance, to charge the RESPONSE
bility OF their bloody work on whisky. Drink
ing to excess Is certainly deplorable vice; but
the world Is full OF men who drink, and drink to
excess, who never commit crimes. The plain
truth is, that these murderers are instigated
by the natural brutality Of their unbridled
passions.
Accord to any one of them credit for real
sincerity IN his frenzied utterances on the scat
fold. and turn him looseand an hour after his
terror has subsidized he viii be drinking and
gambling, and ready again at the slightest
instigation to perpetrate fresh murder

forgotten to translate seche and left the river
still flowing onward to the sea. It Is greatly
to be feared that this mistake will seriously
interfere with the proposed Russian invasion
OF India How are the Russian gunboats
going to follow the army up the bed OF this
dry stream unless the Gar votes an appro-
priation to pump water in this dry river bed,
and make it navigabie just as our intelligent
Congress has decided to do with the Cone
maugh and Elk rivers Of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. The Seche river Is Of no use
to Russia; but what blessed dispensation
would it be to some enterprising log rolling

on the Fox river Of Wisconsin would be in-

The other day. In Indiana. a performer in n
variety show, in attempting to shoot an apple
from the head Of a women, missed the mark
and shot little boy who was on the outside
Of the show tent, killing him instantly. The
dispatch adds "The performer was arrested,
hut the shooting being evidently accidental,
he was discharged" 1t does not necessarily
follow because homicide is accidental that
he who committed 1t is not guilty Of a crime.
The person who commits any reckless act by
which human life Is necessarily endangered Is
guilty of crime II homicide result therefrom.
The principle OF the law Is plain, and 1t Is
that person Is presumed to contemplate the
probable result of his acts. If these acts
wantonly leopard human life, AS Is certainly
the case In such exhibitions as this. and a
homicide result therefrom, 1t Is not excusable
In law. This Is the second death from this
same cause that has occurred in the past few
weeks, and an end should be put to such
exhibitions Mt once.

TO SUMMER TOURISTS.

The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
inducements to Eastern and European trav-
elers this season 1t should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. It has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now has fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed. This enables it to make as fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running, It's connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. Attention is especially called to the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Northern cities. The train leaving at p. M,
one hour later than any other line makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as It's
quickest rival; and the a. IN. train makes
one and half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans.
There are no through cars to NeW York By o,ey
line. The jackson Route has but one change
of cars, which is made In Union depot, Gin
cinnati, at q. m.
Passengers direct to New York by the Jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air of the Allegheny Mountains. Those
going by Chicago pass by daylight In full
view Of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change OF cars from New Orleans to New
York

On the first Of June Lippincott d. Go, the
great Philadelphia publishing house, will is
sue new and charming novel entitled
swings" written by Miss Julie X. Wetherill,
Of Woodville, Miss. The authoress of this
work Is young lady of remarkable talent.
She Is only nineteen years of age; yet several
years ago we read several of her poems,
which would have reflected credit upon au-
thors Of established reputation. Miss Weth-
erill is native Of Mississippi and the grand
daughter Of the late Judge Cotesworth Pinck-
ney Smith, the last Chief Justice Of Missis-
sippi before tie war. and who. though far ad
vanced In years, and holding that high Office
entered the army and died In the service of
the Confederacy, We commend the work of
our fair young friend to the public, feeling
certain that It's perusal will richly repay the
lovers of romance.

Yesterday the Propagotesn Cahho'tqte be-
gan Its seventy volume. That paper
ia the official journal of the diocese and has
always represented the Catholic idea OF Lou
isiana. Its columns are devoted particularly
TO the ad vancemcnt osAUis Catholic faith, and
give the most reliable news concerning what
happens In Christendom, particularly in
France and Italy. Its letters from Rome are
always very interesting, and the tenor Of It's
editorials eloqutntly up to the highest stand
ard OF religion and moral philosophy. In
politics 1t has always been on the side of JUS
tice, honor and the purity Of civil service in
the government The Propagateur is now an
institution in Louisiana, and we sincerely
hope that 1t will continue, as in the past, an
Indefinite career of usefulness and prosperity.

The telegraph described some days ago a
wonderful map published in the ST. Peters
burg Gotos and reproduced in the New York |
Herald. This map had created, the dis
patch informed us, such alarm and excite
ment In Russia that the authorities had
thought it wise to seize the whole edition con-
tanning 1t. A reporter Of the New York Her
ald, however, with the undaunted energy and
enterprise that have always characterized the
correspondents of that paper, managed to OBJ
tain, surreptitnusy, the only copy Of this SEN
sational map left undestroyed; and thus the
journalistic Colossus Of America was enabled
to lay before the people Of this country the
map that the Russian government had pro-
hibited because 1t might precipitate difficult
ties with Great Britain.
This map was nothing more than map Of
Central Asia, the country lying between the
Ru ssian domnions and India 1t showed the
wonderful ease and rapidity with which the
Gar could pour his troops into the very heart
of India. 1t contained many new geographical
features never known before; new roads along
which the Russian army could move with the
greatest rapdity, and large and navigable
rivers, hitherto unknown, which would ena-
BILE the Gar to carry his troops by water to
the very doors of India, to be thus always
In communication with them, and to supply
them with provisions at a very slight ex-
pense.
Among the largest of these rivers was one
that rose In the mountains OF the Hindoo
Koosh, within few miles Of the English
province OF Cashmere, and emptied into the
Sea OF Aral, within the dominions OF Russia,
evidently stream of the greatest advantage
to the Russians In an Indian campaign. 1t
would enable them to keep communication
with their Indian army always open. This
river the Herald map called the River Seche.
The name struck US as new. No other map
OF Asia ever gave River Seche, and yet this
WAS evidently one of the largest of Asiatic
rivers after Indus and Euphrates-could it be
possible that, like Stanley, the Russians had
discovered new Nile in the midst OF Tar
tary? An idea struck us. The map OF the
Golos was published in French, and seche in
French is dry" A glance at another map
assured us that our idea was correct-the
great River Seche of the Heralfs map WAS
nothing but the bed of a river that had been
dried up ten thousand years ago, In prehs-
torIc days. The Ha1lds map-maker had
