Three Increasing Evils.

For anv one who has kept posted as
to the current events of the world, for
the last six or eight years, it is evident
that three evils which atflict it, insanity,
murder and suicide are largely on the
increase. The first, can easily be ac-
counted for, particularly in the United
States. There is no rest for the Amerl-
can people. Dangerous speculatlons,
Just grazing total ruin-a habit of get
ting a certain amount of work out of
every second of the twelve hours-a
nervous excitable temperament, which
forbids rest, all this destroys the equili-
brium of that complex machine the
human mind, and throws it off its bal
ance too often forever.
But the crime of murder, though too
often the murderer escapes by the usual
plea of insanity, cannot he traced back
to these causes. 1t may be a special
form of madness, but this madness is
the outgrowth of uncontrolled passions,
and lawlessness, and usually disappears
a1Cer the CFlHlo 10 SotiIhittSo' ~ ~"
simply an utter indifference to any law
human. or divine in the brutal instinct
Of destruction. If crime met with swift
and speedy punishment there would be
less of it, but between sentimentallstS,
peryerted laws, and venal law enforccrs,
man in many places in the United
States may take life without any ap-
prehension of the consequences.
AS for suicide it is decidedly the out
growth of the infdel tendencies of the
age in which we live. A man or woman
who neither believes in God, nor their
own responsibilities to higher Power,
is very apt to cut the Gordian knot, and
be done at once and forever with the
"muddle" they call life, when it is en-
cumberedlwith difficulties. 1t is urged
that suicide is quite as common amongst
people in a lower class of life, as among
the educated and thoughtful. We re-
peat that intidelity is as marked in the
day laborer as in the gentlepan of
leisure and culture. Itmay be coarser
kind of infdelity, unsupported by logic
and argument, but it is based upo.t the
same negations, and the same impatience
of life's troubles.
In former age suicide at one
period in France became mania.
1t was We think during the reign
of Voltaire's atileistic philosophy, and
all classes and conditions of people were
infected by a morbid desire to bid the
world farewell. Young girls particu-
larly were the victims-the very last
persons one would suppose to be in
fatuated by the horrors of such an end.
When they were prevented from using
poison or the dagger or sufa'ocating
themselves by the fumes Of charcoal,
they threw themselves into wells. The
Department de Loire hit upon singu-
lar and effective cure for this mania.
The authorities decreed that the body
of the first girl who committed suicide
should be exposed publicly for two days.
There was but one suicide after that.
What neither reason, morality nor
religion could do, an instructive feeling
Of modesty accomplished. So perhaps
some apparent tri1e may check the in
crease Of self destruction in this country.

THE SANITARY CONDITION OF OPE-
LoUsAs.-After the terrible visitation of
so many towns and cities of the South
last year by yellow fever, it would GER
talnly be nothing less than criminal
negligence on the part of any commu-
nifty in this State that forgetful of the
past neglects, this year, any prccaution,
conducive to the public health. In New
Orleans the authorities and the people
generally seem to be thoroughly aroused
to the necessity of adopting at once
such sanitary measures as will protect
the public health. 1t is time too, our
authorities were beginning to move in
this matter. This is the season of the
year when everything should be cleansed
and put in order. A month hence hot
weather will set in and then it will be
too late to begin doing that which should
he done at once and without any delay,
An ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure. The privy on the public square
is a nuisance, which should be abated at
once. There are others in but little
better condition. There are backyards
In town encumbered with filth, which
should he removed before the hot sun
OF summer causes them to distil their
pestilential stencil to poison and taint
the air. All these things should be at
tended to at once by our town officers.
Our worthy mayor has our streets In
splendid condition. Let him now turn
his attention to the premises bordering
on the streets, and see that they are put
in equally as good condition. All that
is necessary to bring about this state of
things Is to enforce the town ORDINANCES,
now on the statute book. Notify owners
OF premises to put them in order, and il
they don't do it within the legal delays,
let the town have it done at the expense
OF the owner. Now is the proper time
to do this, and let us hope it will be

III this case the plaintiff has proved to the
satisfaction of the Court the embarrassed con
dition of her husband, has also established hcr
heirship in the estate of her deceased father
Benjamin \. Smith. and that she is Il jndsmcnt
creditor of said estate for a considerable sum OF
money. But there il no evidence to establish
the fact that her husband has even received
any money for her. Therefore she cannot have
jldmtnt for any amount against her sald
husband, though entitled under the law and
the evidence to a Judgment and separation OF
property.
Therefore because the law and evidence is in
favor of the plaintiff Mary A Smith, wife. and
against the defendant Jacques l.. Guiibcau, it
is ordered, adjnelged and accreed that she he
separated in property from her said husband
that the community of acIucts and gains here
toforc existing between them be dissolved and
that she have the entire and exclusive control
and administration of her affairs and that the
defendant pay the costs of this suit
Thus done, read and signed in open Court.

He was country boy with a basket
of eggs, who didn't know whether he
was in March or May. But his compan-
ion was one of our street "gamins,
who are considered graduates in mis-
chief lore, and the 1st of April is high
jinks in that remarkable volume.
He was sauntering tllong innocently
looking at the buildings and for Gus
TONERS. The other was on the opposite
side of the street watching him.
"Hi, boy" cried the gamin, "don't
you see dat ar lady beckonin' and a
beckonin' 10 you. She gibs tirty cents
a dozen, she does for ehry egg she buys.
Why don't you run. you gumrq"
: al don't see no lady" said the egg
boy, staring at the windows of the
houses near him.
"Don't see her beckonin' rite afore
you. syou blind, boy, or crazy? Here
gimme de basket of eggs and you foller
me sharp. COMM ma'am jest as quick"
He took the basket from the hands of
its owner and started down the street at
quick run, the boy following him. He
turned corner and vanished, eggs and
all with "whoopee, April fool, April
foolt"
The other followed, but he might as
we'll have chased viii of the wisp.
"Gol darn April" we heard him say.
"When cotch dat ar tief won't settle
wild himq"
Yes, but rhen will he scotch him.

District Court inn Calcasieu.

Judge Hudspeth and District Attor-
ney Perrodin left On Friday to hold the
April term of Court in Calcasieu.
On Saturday last the Judge received
a petition numerously signed, including
amongst others, all the attorneys at
Lake Charles, requesting him, "on ac-
count Of the thorough clearing of the
docket at the last term Of Court in that
parish, in both civil and criminal cases,
and the small amount of criminal bust
ness awaiting action of the Court, and
because of the expenses incident to
calling jury, to dispense with a jury at
this term, and make it term simply
for the trial of non-jury cases." On
receipt of this petition the Judge i'm
mediately granted it, and so telegraphed:
Hence the term will necessarily be a
short one, as at the late term only one
civil and that a recused case on appeal
from the Parish Court, was left unde-
cided. This state of affairs speaks we'll
for our sister parish.
We hope yet to see the time in St.
Landry, when the "small amount of
criminal business" awaiting action of
the District Court, will justify the hold
ing Of only one jury term during the
year. a.
District Court opens here on the 2Sth.
The criminal docket is unusually small
the civil docket amounts to about twenty
seven cases all told some half dozen of
which are recusel cases. Hence we too
may expect short term.
APRIL.-March came in like lion,
but didn't creep out at all like the
traditional lamb. In fact he marched
out with angry skies and deal of
bluster and the first of April came to us
dark, with thunder clouds, gloomy and
not at all like her sweet changeful self.
Of course we understand this is only
ono of her moods, but we don't like bad
temper, even in the prettiest woman in
the world. But April could not sulk
long. She is 50 full of freshness and
glow, her days dyed so deep in the light
of sunshine, with the purest and bluest
of skies, the loudest rapture of birds,
and the heaviest breath of perfume,
that even if she r~"'-'n , she could not
be sullen. We don't Gke neutral colors
any more than we like neutral 'o- ....-
nenltWas opinions, neutral theologies with
their cool grey and slaty perspectives.
Mild individuals of the nauseously
douceuSeur order call them refreshing,
but they are people who always find
sunlight "a glare" and prefer November
to April. They hate changeful skies
and don't like anything SO unsettled, as
If in her changes does not lie her chief
charm, to the changeful human mind,
