THE REVENUE BILL.

The Committee of Ways and Means
has been unable, thus far, to devise a
Revenue Bill that the House would
agree to pass. The first bill offered
by the Committee it was thought
could be 80 amended as to meet the
views Of the majority. The original
bill wss then re.committed and the
Committee instructed to reconsider.
Through the Chairman, W. W. Far
mer, the new bill was presented in
the House during the latter part Of
last week; very lively debate sprang
up in the discussions of its provis.
ions and by large majority it was
rejected. There appears to be a. wide
diversity ofopinion and serious diff.
ficulty in the whole matter. Mr..
Farmer contends that he has sought
to keep within the limits fixed BY
The Constitution, and that he has
made that instrument his guide,
The views of some who oppose his
bill can only be met by violations OF
the organic law.
As the matter now stands the com.
mittee have been directed to frame
an entirely new bill based ON the Ian
of 1854. r.

T. g.H a
The effects of the war were felt,
the other day, on Hills plantation,
in West Baton Rouge Parish, by an
unfortunate darkey who plewed up a
bomb-shell, aud in accordance, with
time honored custom, got it into
his head that the harmless looking
''thing would make q fine audiron."
For a while there was no FIRE and the
thing looked we'll and worked to his
entire satisfaction; but, alas, the old
darkey gave a ball and during the
evening the weather turned cool and
a fire was built. Then came an ex
plosion, tearing off large portion oil
the roof of the shanty and scattering
things promiscuously. Fortunately
no one was killed-the only serious
results being the loss Of q leg by the
old darkey's son, a boy about ten
years of age, who Was lying on apal

The publishers of the three Ba-

little game Of cut throat for the city
printing. The Herald bid at the
rate of nineteen cents a square for
the first insertion and eight cents for
each subsequent insertion, while the
Advocate and Capitolian offered to
do it free of charge. A ballot was
ordered, in the Council, to decide to
which ofthe lowest the contract was
to'be awarded, and resulted in a tie
vote, and then further action thereon
was postponed until the next meet

were absent. The Herald man says

THE GAME LAW.

The Game Law which was passed
by the Legislature of 1877, was the
first statutory enactment in the State
looking to the preservation and pro,
lection Of the variety of game for
which Louisiana has been famous,
but which were fast disappearing
before the steady and continuous in
roads which were wrought by our
constantly increasing population
Forty years ago the Red Deer aboun-
ded in the swamps of Louisiana,
where the richness and excellence of
the peculiar pasturage caused them
to attain size far surprising those
of the same family that were reared
in the highlands, or that fed only
upon the poorer and meagre hesbage
of our Pinewoods. Wild Turkeys
by the thousands were found
throughout the State, while focks of
Quail, the favorite of the sportsman
and epicure, we're even more plentiful
than the poultry of the farm yards.
On the prairies Of Southern Louisi-
ana the Pheasant and Prairie Chick
en- were numerous. Restrained by
no law, the slaughter Of all alike, in
season and out Of season, has,. in
some localities, entirely destroyed
everything that was worthy of recog;
milton as game; the same causes
will. in no very considerable time,
produce the same results throughout
the State. We hope not only to see
the Law for the Protection of Game
retained, but q more rigid enforce
ment of its provisions with severer
penalties. It has been proposed 10
leave the matter to the Police Juries
of the Parishes, but we apprehend
that it would be much better to pass
a general law which would operate
with uniformity throughout the
State. ~ ~

VIZ regret to see that our Legis-
lature has passed finally the bill re-
pealing the act Incorporating the
Town Of Pineville. The town is a
progressive one, and, since its incor.
poration two years ago, there has
been decided change for the better,
in everything that pertains to the
good order, and the best interests of
society. We are satisfied that had
our members, DR.. Luckett and Col.
Wise, been fully informed Of the SEN
timent of a majority of the tax. pay
ers of the Town, the repeal of the
act of Incorporation would not have
been passed.
We sympathize with our neighbor
in being thus made the victim of
legislation SO contrary to her mate
rial welfare, just recovering as she
was from the notoriety of being a
very disorderly place, and to be re-
handed to the same state by this
nasty and ill-advised action is more
than she deserves.

SOME FAMOUS DIAMONDS.
GOSSIP CONCERNING THE KHEDIvE's
PRESENT TO MRS. FITCH.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the
following gossip concerning the final
disposition of the Khedive's gift Of
diamonds to the daughter of General
Sherman:
"By the way, do you know what
has become of the famous diamond
necklace which was presented to
General Sherman's eldest daughter
by the Khedive of Egypt on the &C.
casion of her marriage to Lieutenant
Fitch7" said the Enquirer man to
Mr.. Patton, the diamond merchant,
yesterday.
II do - was the reply. "a sister
of General Sherman called at my
Office one day this week and asked
her the same question. She repeated
to me the history Of the famous
necklace; from the time of its recep-
ton at the new York Custom house
until Its anal disposition. !; II is gem
orally known that the duties which
the Custom-house officers demanded
of Lieutenant Fitch, before they
could deliver the magnificent present,
would be something over $50, 900,
the lowest estimate placed on its
value by experts being .$200,0e0.
Lieutenant Fitch, not being a,map Of
means, was unable to pay this sum.
An enabling act was then passed by
Congress, authorizing the Custom
house officers to deliver the diamonds
to Mrs. Fitch free Of duty. After
this the necklace was sent to Wash.
ington and, with General Sherman's
sword, deposited in the United States
Treasury for safe keeping. Upon
further inquiry, Lieutenant Fitch as
certained that the yearly taxes on
the diamonds in ST. Louis County,
where he then resided, would be
much more than his salary, and he
once more found them an elephant
on his hands. His father-in law,
General Sherman, took pity on the
boy and returned the necklace, with
thanks, to the donor in Egypt
Upon receiving them the Khedive
wrote to the General, saying that it
was not his desire that the diamonds
should be given to any ore member
of his family, and, having learned
that he had four daughters, it was
his wish then that the diamonds
should be mounted in sets, and divi-
ded equally between them. These
daughters are Mrs. Fitch, nee Minnie
Sherman, Ella Sherman, Lizzie
Sherman and Rachel Sherman. The
necklace was then returned to the
Sherman family and mounted in four
magnificent pendants, four pairs Of
splendid solitaire earrings and eight
rings. The four ladies are now the
happy possessors Of four complete
suits OF diamonds, the value Of each
suit being at least $4,000. This
makes each Of them rich in her own
right, through the generosity oi
