Convictions for perjury are be.

it is we'll for the interests of truth

are guilty Of this infamous infrac-

The st. Landry Democrat reports
remarkable case occurring at the
late term of District Court in that
parish, wherein two brothers, Dan.
iel and Robert Avery, were convict
ed of perjury for endeayoring to
swear a third brother, Amos Avery,
out of a horse stealing scrape to
which he afterwards confessed. The
thief has gone to the penitentiary on
nine years. sentence and his for.

ney, in his argument to the jury in
this case, brought home the gravity
of the crime to the minds Of his
hearers when he said:
"You can lock out a thief, you
can guard against a murderer or an
assassin, but what man is safe in his
life, liberty, reputation or property,
if perjurers are allowed to 60 free

Probably in no political party can
two men be found who think pre-
cisely alike on all issues. Parties
are always more or less the result
of compromise-men who differ
agreeing to leave in allegiance the
points of difference for the sake of
securing results in which they are
alike interested. The statement of
doctrines which in America we call
a platform is therefore, in most par
ticulars, only a broad statement of
foundation principles. And on these,
in many cases, two contending par
ties are so we'll agreed that their
platforms are almost word for word
the same, except Ms regards the one
Issue of the hour Oh which they
divide.
The shifting of parties, the diver.
sity of issues year after year, like
currents in the ocean, tend TO keep
our parties pure. They might be
purer than they are, and will he so
when men begin to adopt the doc
trine of "principles, and not men,"
and use their own judgment rather
than follow the dictum of a party
leader. The faster they shift, the
more frequently men are compelled
to get back to first principles.
This getting back to first princi
pies is always good. In politics, in
religion, in business, in pleasure
even, in whatever engages US con.
tinuously, we are apt to run into
grooves-to follow beaten tracks,
It is good to be methodical in all
things, but routine alone is slow
death. Orthodoxy is as crushing to
law, medicine, and pedagogics as to
theology.
Reverence is good if it is for what
is good and true, but the man whose
reverence is given only to that which
is old, had better butt his head
against wall, and augment his
usefulness and wisdom together by
demolishing the chronological organ.

Ordinance No. 4O9, concerning
new parishes, parish lines, dissolu-
ton of parishes. etc., adopted by
the G Constitutional convention, reads
as follows:
The General Assembly may estab-
lish and organize new parishes,
which shall be bodies corporate with
such powers as may be prescribed
by law; but no new parish shall con-
tain less than 625 square miles, nor
less than 1000 inhabitants, nor shall
any parish be reduced below that
erea or number OF inhabitants.
All laws changing parish lines or
moving parish seats shall, before
taking effect, be submitted to the
electors of the parish or parishes to
be affected thereby, at a special cleo.
ton held for that purpose, and be
adopted by a majority of votes of
each parish cast at such election.
Any parish may be dissolved and
merged into a contiguous parish or
parishes by vote of the qualified
voters Of said parish, at an election
authorized by the General Assembly
held for that purpose.
Whenever a parish shall be en-.
larged or created from territory con.
tiguous thereto, it shall be entitled
to a just proportion of the property
and assets and liable for a just pro-
portion of the existing debts or liza.
bilities of the parish or parishes
from which such territory shall be
taken.

The Republican party, in its plat,
form of 1864 platform written
by Mr.. Seward and upon which Mr..
Lincoln was elected P resident-had
this to say upon the subject of
States rights:
"That the maintenance inviolate
of the rights OF the States, and es-
pecially of the right of each State to
order and control its own domestic
institutions according to it's own
judgment exclusively, is essential to
that balance Of powers on which the
perfection and endurance of our
political fabric depends; and we de-
nounce the lawless invasion by arm.
ed force Of the soil of any State or
Territory, no matter under what
pretext, as among the gravest of
crimes.n
No talk here about "the Nation
with a big n" The party had not
got possession of the government at
that time. 1t was fighting for a
great cause and was exceedingly
jealous Of the rights of the States to
regulate their own domestic affairs.
Such a law as the present Supervi.
sors' law, would have called forth
the most violent remonstrance, and
justly too, for with Deputy U. s.
Marshals and Supervisors, the Dem.
ocratic administration of that day
could easily have defeated Mr.. Lin
coin. But things have changed
you know.

A Belgian professor has published
work entitled "Periodicite des Grand
Deluges Resultant du Movement
Gradnel de Ia Liguc Aspides de Ia
Terre.D 2 in which he warns us that we
may be on the lockout for another del
uge Of the world. at certain regular
" occurring intervals, he maintains,
the waters of one hemisphere are sud
denly precipitated across the equator
and food the other. The last of these
deluges, which always flow from north
to south, was that Of Noah's time,
which was from the north Hence,
the explanation If the preponderance
of water in the Southern Hemisphere,
and Of the general southern trend of
North and South Anerice, Africa and
many minor penilsulas The next of
these will flow from the south to the
north. The cause, he argues, is the
alternate increase and decrease Of the
ice-caps at the poles, and consequent
change of the earth's equilibrium
Since l24S the south pole has been
constantly enlarging, while the north
pole has been proportionafely dimin-
ishing, to-day the diameter of the
southern glacial being about 5000
miles and that of the northern 1900
miles. When these two glaciers shall
have arrived at their maximum and
minimum extension, then will the
earth tilt over and be submerged BY
another great extension, the fifteenth
of the kind that has occurred In
view Of this impending and somewhat
serious probability, the question
arises: What are we going to do
about it? II 20 one can offer better
suggestion, would it not be advisable
that each Of us resolve himself into
his own ark by wearing night and
day one of Paul Boyton's rubber
swimming costumes?
