A DEPRAvED APPETITE - Is a terrible thing
sometimes, taking a person captive and causing
to sacrifice everything-propertyr business,
wife, children, and health, Persons who retain
self control wonder In amazement at such In"
stances Of terrible depravity. Those who have
finally been rescued from such condition, Won
der themselves when they look back at their
fallen and entlaved state from which they have
made a happy escape, The victims Of alcohol
and the victims Of opium, seem to be equally
helpless; seem to be no more capable OF selt'oon-
troll and restraint than those suffering from alb
GRAFTON of mind. Indeed the most competent
Judges call 1t all insanity, ami maintain that all
are equally entitled to prompt public con-
sheraton and care. Thorough reformers claim
that depravity Of appetite is oftentimes laid in
infancy and early youth, by improprieties In
diet, using narcotics and other poisonous drugs,
and by the use OF tobacco. Their ideas are that
proper diet, and correct habits, avoid depravity and
decentralization, and promote heslthful growth
and development, physical aud mental. To have
q sound mind, we need q sound body.

The Ouaclita Telegraph and the
Monroe Bulletin-two handsome papers
published at the capital city Of North
Louisiana-have got into bit Of a
quarrel, and are criticizing each other
rather sarcastically.
The fact is, there are q dozen or so
papers, we believe, in that section of the
State which are engaged in an active
fight just now over the prospective
nomination of Gen. Floyd King or Col
Robert Richardson for Congress from
the Sixth Congressional District.
We are pleased to see that, the little
sprightly Bulletin gallantly sustains
the high reputation it has acquired fol
it's keen tlrusts and damaging cuts al
its opponents, and bids fair to outstriI
them all in sound reasoning, SHARP
logic, and racy arguments. If Bill At
kins, it's talented editor, wasn't quite sc
deaf lie might be able to impa1t still
more force, vigor and vim to his already
highly seasoned and piquant articles.

Morgan,s Railroad having deprived
New Iberia of large portion of tie
business OF the surrounding country,
the town has to fall back upon manu-
factories for its main reliance Indeed
the change that it has produced is SO
great, that several OF the merchants
doing business here speak of leaving
for other parts. Vt Editorial Cores
pondence Of the \. o. Country Visitor.
After reading the above one would
naturally come to the conclusion that
railroads are detrimental to tie pros
perity and wealth Of a town. But such
is not the case. If the merchants and
business men of New Iberia had pur-
sued the wise course of keeping their
business houses and trade constantly
and prominently before the people of
the parish through some live and ex-
tensivcly circulated paper such as the
Sugar Bowl, there would not now he
complaints OF want OF custom by these
men. But they choose rather to suffer
the merchants of New Orleans to briu,
their business right before the eyes .f
their own home people, without making
an effort to contest that business with
their cosmopolitan neighbors, and tie
result is that the lucrative trade of New
Iberia has now been transferred to New
Orleans. Whose fault is it? Certainly
not the railroad, but the merchants
themselves OF New Iberia, and they
have no one but themselves to blame
| for the great change that has taken
place.
The notion that some people have
that railroads, instead of beneiitting u
town, injnre it, is altogether erroneous.
OF this we have ample evidence. Mon
roe, Thibodaux, Amite City, Macomn
City and several other towns that arc
| tapped by railroads are all or the high
road to prosperity, and their local trade
in tiourisling condition and daily
! increasing. But the grand secret OF
| this is because the local newspapers Of
those sections are constantly crowded
with advertisements from local mel-
chants and business men OF every shade
of occupation. A lj1e town can not b.,
injured by q railroad, it is only dcul
one that stands in danger of being com
pletely demolished by the snorting Of
the iron horse.

Our Railroad.
CHEERING PROSPECTS.

A friend of ours who has just returned
few days ago from a visit to the field
of operations on the Morgan extension
to Opelousas reports that the work
progresses steadily and rapidly on the
line from Vermillionville, and that
track-laying has been completed some
four and half miles this side Of the
latter place, and it was the intention of
Col. Adams to reach Bayou Carencro
by yesterday evening. A force of two
hundred and fifty laborers are employed
between Nermilionville and Carencro,
and pretty large force this side of
Carencro.
Col. Adams, the contractor, was asked
by our friend if he thought the yellow
fever, in the event it should break out
at New Orleans, would interfere with
the work Oh the road. To this he re-
piled that it would not, as he has per-
fected ample arrangements to procure
all the provisions, ETC., that may be
needed.
Col. Adams further stated that he
was determined to beat the time fixed
upon for the completion Of the track to
Opelousas, and would be here before
September.
This is truly encouraging, and all
should rejoice at the prospect of an early
advent of the iron-horse at Opelousas'
Let the merchants and everybody else
prepare themselves for the great change
that awaits them. They can not hurry
up to soon.
Our informant states, also, that the
Western road is completed fifteen miles
westward from Veamillionville, leaving
only fourteen miles to finish up the gap
between that point and the Mermcntau
river, when through line will be es-
tablished between Houston and New
Orleans.

j. B. Merwin, Editor of the American
Journal of Education, st. Louis, peril
nently asks:
Why not use the columns of the local
papers more to build up the school in
terests?
Our school teachers aid the local pa
pers directly and permanently every
where because they educate the people.
Intelligent people want to know what
is going on in the world, and will de-
mand newspapers.
This may do very we'll outside of
Louisiana. We are yet to know of a
single instance where school teachers
OF their .focks have contributed one
cent towards sustaining their local
papers in this State. Children here re-
ceive what is called dry book education
only, and are suffered to grow UP en-
tirely ignorant Of outdoor life or the
surroundings of their own immediate
homes and school-houses.

Disastrous Collision.

Two ocean steamers, the Nalragan-
sett and Stonington, collIded, on the
night of the 11th inst, Off Connecticut
River. Tie former vessel took fire
Immediately and was burned to the
waters edge and sank. There were
some three hundred passengers on board,
many of whom must doubtless have
perished. Here is brief account of the
catastrophe, which we copy from an
exchange:
STONIEGToS. CT, June 12.--Tha steamer Ston-
iugtOn arrived at ESQ this morning with about
fifty survivors Of the Nara gansett The bow
of the former struck the Narra@ansett three
feet aft Of the stern, settling down nearly to
water line. She struck the NalraganSot at
1870 o'clock, on the starb"ard side forward of
her wheelrouSc. The shock burst The gas tank
and i'll fifteen minutes the Narra@ansett was OH
fire. She sank in four fathons water. No esti-
mate can be made of the loss of life. The sur
viving passengers from the ill-fateu Narrag;ll-
Sett will agree that ont OF the passenger list of
more than 800 IA large number must have been
lost, as the water around the burning steam
er was alive with struggling people. cingin4y
to RATS and every conceivable thing. II is feared
most of the passengers that Were i'll their herths
below the main deck did not have time to save
themselves.

A MELANCHOLY EvENT.-The much
loved and universally respected Albert
Galatin Brown, of Mississippi, was ac-
cidentally drowned on the evening Of
the 18th inst. He was thrown from
his horse in pond near his home, and,
before he could be rescued, or any as
sistance rendered him, he was drowned.
The deceased has left bright
record behind him, that it would
be we'll for others of his State to EMU
late. He was at one time Governor, and,
at another, United Senator, and always
discharged his duties with credit to
himself and honor to his State. No
wonder, then, that the citizens of his
neighborhood, old and young, loved
him as father and benefactor, and the
whole community of Mississippi SO bit
terry mourns his loss.

Hon. w. S. Coleman, killed recently
at Marshall, Texas, by Mr.. Jennings,
editor of paper called the Messenger,
was distinguished gentleman and OF
the highest social standing. He was a
member of the 18th and 10th Legislature
of that State, and also a prominent
candidate for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
shin. An offensive editorial article that
appeared in the Messenger rejecting
upon Mr.. Coleman led to the fatal
difficulty.

The Republicans in Congress have
commenced fellibustering in order to
stave off, if not defeat, the Democratic
electoral resolution. Their tactics point
out very clearly their settled intention
upon this momentous question, which
is this to insist that the President OF
the Senate, acting in a ministerial and
judicial capacity, alone has the right to
count the votes and declare the result.
In other words, they evince a determi-
nation to infict repetition of the same
outrage that disgraced the country four
years ago.

Many of the country papers, and a
few of the city ones, too, are urging the
necessity of having an extra session of
the Legislature called for the purpose
of finishing up the business of the late
session, and also for the purpose Of en-
acting certain stringent laws for the
suppression of lobbyists and other like
nuisances, and pass some beneficial laws
that will give general and special relief
to the people and tone up their conf
dence and faith in business matters
throughout the State. Now, this is all
we'll enough to talk about, and would
be extremely desirable, provided large
majority of the present members could
be cast orer again and made new, and a
little common sense in nserted into theil
empty pates. AS this can not be done
we see no earthly good that would re,
suit to the State by convening the ol0
Legislature in extra session. There.
fore, we are opposed to any such tom
foolery. We have had enough of il
already.

Gen. James A. Garfield, of Ohio,
nominee Of the Republican party for
president, is an exponent of the most
pronounced hostility to the South, was
connected with the Credit -Mobilier
swindle scheme, and we cannot see how
any Southern man can support him in
the coming canvass.-i Pascagoula Star.
Many ugly things are beginning to
crop out against Garfield, and we would
not be surprised to see him served after
the manner of the famous Henry Clay
before the canvass is ended. The old
sage of Ashland, it will be remembered,
was charged by his enemies with having
stolen a horse, saddle and bride, and
his guilt prouen beyond controversy OF
doubt-at least by the yeracious news
papers!

EXTRAORDINARY WEATHER-The pre-
diction made some til e ago by a foreign
weather prophet that this country would
be visited dnring this month by a Won
derfully cold blast has been signally
verified. We don't know how it has
been elsewhere, but presume it was the
same as here. Last Wednesday the wind
came sweeping directly from the north,
and continued to blow from that direc-
ton throughout the whole day and
night, and by Thursday morning the
temperature became so cold that thick
clothing was hastily brought into requi-
sition. We can remember Of no such
weather in this country in the month
Of June, and our memory dates back a
good many years. Something wrong,
evidently. A
