Last Sundays New Orleans
Democrat contains an elaborate de-
scription of Washington parish, by
Col. Skipwith, its travelling CORE
spondent. The article is very in
teresting, and gives in detail the
productions of the parish, and the
advantages of health and soil it
offers to the newcomer who desires
to settle in the parish. Washing
ton and st. Tammany parishes are
very similar in many respects. In
their undeveloped resources of
water power and soil, they can fur
nish the broad foundations of an
empire of productive wealth, if not
of population. These two parishes
can furnish water power sufficient
to turn every spindle in the United
States. Here should be vast cotton

In the Florida parishes there is
one interest that overtops all others,
and that is sheep raising. The
present high price of wool, with the
opinion prevailing that it will con-
tinue, is particularly encouraging to
the people who are interested in
sheep raising. Considerable inter-
est is being developed among men
in regard to improved breeds, and
the better management and care OF
the stock. The climate and pastur-
age appears to be all that is desira-
BILE, and if protected from dogs,
sheep flourish and increase i'll the
pine woods III d manner that would
astonsh Western or Northern
sheep raiser. The one great I'M
pediment to sheep raising is the
large number of vicious and worth
less dogs in the country. A gentle
man assured US, q few days ago.
.hat with his flock of nine hundred
sheep, he could confidently estimate
his annual loss, from the ravages of
these sheep-killing dogs, at two
hundred head. Tue people of the
Florida parishes, who are interest
ed in sheep raising, are determined
that the next Legislature shall enact
u dog law that will protect their
tiocks from this wholesale slaughter.
They are certainly entitled to such
a law. One of the objects for which
governments are established is the
protection of property. The idea
that the law has no right to inter.
fere with the worthless ours that
annually destroy such large
amount of productive property, is
simply preposterous. The next
Legislature must enact q suitable
dog law, and tue friends of the
who are all friends of the
FARMER, can depend on our best
efforts to secure this most desirable
result.

We often hear persons say that
our elections are too close together,
and that the consequent excitement
tends to demoralize the country and
interfere with its general prosperity.
In this country elections are pro-
ductive of much discussion and
agitation. The excitement and
tumult are not necessarily danger
GUS to the welfare and peace of the
community, and we believe that out
of all this the country grows better,
and humanity attains a higher and
purer civilization. Even war, with
all its horrors, is not always IN I'M
mixed evil. Christianity has won
its greatest triumphs on the battle
field, and sometimes there is a-se--
ligion proclaimed from the mouth
of cannon more potent and pow
erful in its influence than any that
comes from priest or shrine. 1t is
agitation and discussion that pre-
pares humanity for q higher life,
and our frequent elections, with all
their eXcitements, are schools that
educate the people and better pre-
pare them for the duties devolving
upon them, and hastens the day
when ''the lion and the lamb shall
lie down together, and little child
shall lead them"
