be to permit men to Go as they
please about the carrying Of arms
and send any one to the peniten-
tiary for ten years who will draw
a weapon except in self defense,
and leave him to prove that fact.
This would very soon stop the
business.
RAPID DECREASE OF CRIME.
We can but express our gra,ii-
cations at the rapid decrease,
within the last two years, OF those
grave crimes which have hereto
fore burdened our criminal re-
cords, and more particularly those
''grand and petit larcenies" which
have so often caused Oul parish
to furnish more than the average
quota of criminals to the state
prison. This decrease Ofcrnme is
undoubtedly due to the new jury
law, which, under Jury commits
sion, selects from among the quail
flied electors of the parish, only
those citizens who are noted for
their Intelligence, probity and full
determination to carry out both
the letter as well us the spirit of
our criminal statues. 1t is d mat
ter OF sincere cOngratulation to
the people, 70 your honorable
court, RS we'll ourselves, that this
/. state OF exemption exists though
out the parish and among all
classes OF our citizens. There is
one grave intraction Of law which
. has been an unmitigated crime
under the statues and to which
your honor called our special at.
tentlCn i'll your most excellent
charge, that has more particular
f ly employed or time than any
other subject-that is the almost
universal practice Of carrying
I CONCEALED WEAPONS.
+ Under tie Sanctiry Of Our oatl
as Grand Jurors, without fear OF

bills of Indictment against citi'
zens who have infrIngetl this law

ing universal attention ant
against which the Legislative ma
chinery of a number of States
us well as the police regulation:
Of several large cities have beef
directed. 1t is to be hoped tina
Il law will lie enacted Ivy the Con
stitntional Convention now il

Dull OF Com prehensiOai,

"You can't smoke in here" said
a Cincinnati conductor to d coun>
tryman, who was pulling away
vigorously at a five cent cigar in
Il car half full of ladies.
The man didu't seem to hear.
81 say cried the man Of the
bell punch, in a louder key, "it
yon want to smoke come out here
on the platform"
"All r.ght,' returned the pas
senger, aud he stepped out.
Didn't think it would hurt moths
H." he said apologeticalIy: ''see.
ms there amt any straw in the
car to catch fire."
"But there are ladies there"
"Uh, yes; didn't think nothin'
bout that. Might get ashes OH
their gowns and spite 'em.'
"It isn't so much that" ex.
planned the conductor. "but la
dies object to smoke.''
''Well, [ didn't ask any Of 'em
to smoke, did [? They needn't
object before they're invited"
"You don't understand. SmOk
ing is disagreeable to ladies'"
"BeSt reason in the world why
ttey shouldn't practice it. Catcl
me smoking if it was disagreeabI,
to me-" And he TRANQUILITY putfe,

The True Way to Envi.Orate.

The true way to i%nvigorate a feeble sys-
TEN is to infuse activity into the operations
of the stomach, that wondrous alembic in
which the food is transmitted into the con
st~ituents of blood, the chief element of our
vitality. HOstetter's Stomach Bit ers, be-
cause il accomplishes this end, is greatly
to be preferred to many SO called tonics'
useful indeed as appetizers, but inopera
tive It's aids 10 digestion ana assimilatian.
This sterling cordial while it invigorates
the stomach, beautifully stimulates the
liver, bowels, and kidneys, ensurins the es-
cape through the regular channels OF eff
fete and useless matter thrown of by the
svstrnl, which is thus purified as well as
invl.oratcd by it. Its tonic influence Is
soon made manifest b., an increase of vital
energy and a more active and regular dis
charge Of every physical junction, and it
has the further effect of rendering the sys-
ten uuassailable 5y malarial e%pidemics.

Below are extracts from a

The Exodus.

The ease and facility with
the colored population
itself to be humbugged
and bamboozled is one Of the
unexplainable mysteries Of the
present age. There is nothing
that is:,unreasonable, Incompetent
sible or nonsensical that they do
not jump at. Like an unt1edgea
bird in Its nest, that lies, with it's
eyes SHUT and mouth open ready
to swallow any thing that it's
mother may drop within. SO do
these people act when anything
without sense or reason is pro
posed. Robbed of the millions Of
dollars they placed in the Freed
mans bank, promised a mule and
10 acres of land for voting the
Radical ticket, betrayed and swim
died every time they have listen,
ed to the siren song of tanaticism
they are now preparing to emf
CRATE to the North, where instead
ola warm genial climate they
will SILVER AN. freeze nine months
in the year, where in place of
constant employment all the Year
round they will find work TO.
four to six months only, where
their condition will be far worst
than it is in the South yet their
ears are wide open to the songs
of Conway and other villains OF
his stripe whose love for the he.
gro extends only SO long as be
can steal the scanty means out o
their purses.
In West Baton Rouge, Avoyel-
les, St. Landry, and other Parisl
es the negroes L holding mas:
meetings and raising money t.
send agents to Kansas TO exam
inc the country and report upon
the prospects. This can foretel
Iut one result. The sharpers VIII
are at the head of this toolishnes
will capture those agents befor'
they pass ST. Louis, and will feas
ana tatten them upon all mamie
of lies, give them big suppers, etc
so that the agents will lelur
crazed with their reception an,
give favorable reports.
A few weeks ago some of theS
/. hypocritical cusses went into Mi,
sisSippi and and sold a WACO
load of small flags to the negroes
telling them to go to the Jackso
Railroad Oh Il certain day, and d
the train came along to raise the:
: flags, when he would be on til
train that would stop and TAX
them to Kansas. On that prom
ed land, they had only to site
= down their little flag staff an
. that would be a title to the
4 promised 40 acres of land.
OF course the poor delude
, fools all bit, and like the man wi
Was swinging by his hands |.
go to spit upon them and fell all
!. broke his neck, they sold eve,
thing they had for any price al
u put out to the railroad only
= learn too late how they had bee
4 Swind!ed. And so it will co
time. Experience teaches the
nothing. Burning their fnge
in the fire will not warn the
e against putting their whole han
into a hot furnace.
:. These delusions will be fIllo,
ed, the negro will be rendered +
! worse off than he now Is, the spi
e which these northern vainpir
bear against the people of tt
y. south, will be cherished, but tt
II result will be a far more prospe
GUS, more happy, more intellige
more wealthy south than ever W

Public Enterprise.


which the people owning lands on
Bayou Lafourche from DOnald-
Sonville to the gulf coast are
deeply interested, and its con-
struction should meet with the !
appreciation of, and command
ample pecuniary aid, from every
land owner and resident on it's
coasts.
1t will bring the waters of the
LafOnrche by two arms into tide
water some 20 or 80 miles sooner
than it now reaches the gulf level.
This will enable the surplus wa
tiers to find egress from that
stream much mor rapidly than
it now does, aud thereby relieve
the lands of the Lafourche from
overflow to a certain extent In
any effort to dredge the Lafourche
the work need only be continued
to these canals whence the Waters
will Q ;cape. The people of La
tourcie and Assumption should
take stock in this work so as be-
come interested in it's proper and
judlcious management. The Iii
rectors of that company have
fixed the price OF shares at low
figures SO as to render the enter
prise Il public one: in which every
mar IN the Lafourche valley viii.
beco."e personally interested.
The cleaning out of bayou La
fourche is another work that
should be connected with the
opening of this canal.
The U. S. government has put
IA dredge boat in bayou Lafourche
which, tor all the good it has eff
fected, might as well have been i'll
the river Congo. The surveys
which have been made showed
where the work was needed, vel
the managers have expended ter
thousand dollars without ever
striking ii lick or pulling Il single
silag in that portion of the bayou
for which the appropriation wa:
made.
Durin. high water when thu
boat could nave been rendered
useful in pulling up obstruction;
that would haze released tn.

be carried away by the current,
was lying idle at Lafourche Cross
ing. 1t has now moved down til
bayou, but whethe" it will do an.
work that will be of any scrvic
time will tell.
OF one thing there can be II
doubt, that the expenses of dred
in. ont the Lafoinche so :ha
there a be no more overflow
is very easy and practicabl
matter, and only requires a iittl
common sense to do the work
: without any material aid from 81
