PARISH TAXES AND LICENSES

Under the above heading the
Greensburg Gazette publishing the
following article. much of which
will apply equally as well to St.
Tammany parish, and contains
various items of information which
our Police Jury will DO well to read
and heed:
"Retrenchment in the admins
tration of parochial finances cannot
be successfully inaugurated until
the Police Jury requires parish
taxes and licenses to be collected in
money, lawful currency of the
United States, rs the law intends
and contemplates that they should
be. The law requires the Police
jury of each parish to provide q
good and sufficient courthouse, and
also good and sufficient Jail, which
they cannot do, and if they have al
ready provided them, they cannot
keep them in repair without money;
and it is notorious fact that every
Grand Jury empanneled in this
parish for years past has entered a
formal complaint about the condi
ton of the Jail. The Jail in Green's
burg was broken open about six
weeks since by mob of lawless
men and subsequently had to be re-
paired and fitted up for the safe
custody and detention of prisoners.
The Sheriff conld not find |. black
smith or other mechanic that would
execute the work for parish scrip,
aud consequently he had to take
the greenbacks out Of his own peck
ct and pay for the repairs. The
Sheriff could not, with parish pa
per, employ anybody to feed pris-
oners, and he is now paying green
backs to have that done. Record
books are sadly needed in all the
offices, and not long since the Clerk
was compelled, with his own funds.
to provide one, and also seal for
his office.
THE Courthouse ought to be en-
closed; it also needs some repairs,
and change in the arrangement of
the courtroom, SO as to adapt it to
the use of the Circuit Court. Fire
wood must be provided in winter,
and sawdust must be provided all
the tine. Bedding must be pro-
vided for prisoners, and-well, it is
useless to enumerate other items in
the category of absolute and i'm
perative requisites, all of which,
among others, including the pubic
printing, could be obtained by the |
Police july very readily, for cash,
and at a saving to the parish of
from 200 to 500 per cent.
Section 3776, r. s., speaking in
reference to several expenses
which, by the way, are the heaviest
public burthen-says such expenses
SHALL be paid by the parish treas
lrer, after an account thereof shall
De duly certified to be correct by

consequences of self-abuse may be radically
cured without the dangerous use of internal
medicine or the application of the knife;
pointing out mode of cure at once simple

every sufferer, no matter what his condition

Married Again without KnVw-
ing IL.

A man in Toledo, with a wife and
three children; became enamored Of
az intriguing woman and procured a
divorce in an obscure Indiana town.
He did not say a word about it at
home. One day his oldest daughter
received a parcel of patterns from a
lady in Indianapolis. 1t was an old
copy OF a country newspaper. An
advertisement attracted her attention.
1t was an application for a divorce for
her father from her mother. The
young lady decided to visit her friend
in indianapolis and to make an excur-
sion to the county where the divorce
had been granted, She returned with
ample evidence that her mother was
was living with a divorced man. She
showed her father a copy of the adver-
tisement, and told him that she had
found out all about HIM He walked
the floor for a minute, and then turned
to his daughter. 81 have been a very
bad and guilty man. he said but it
is not too late to make amends. | will

wife again before she knows the fear
full truth" The young lady was equal
to the emergency. The twentieth an.
niversary Of her parents marriage was
close at hand. She invited all their
friends and had them married again
by the same minister who performed
the ceremony twenty years before.
She took pains to have her mothers
rival present, and remarked to her In
a corner: Papa and mamma are
married again as fast as the law can
do it. Whether the truth is ever
known depends upon you. Papa will
never tell it, l am sure, and for
mamma's sake | never shall. But it
does seem to me, dear, that some other
climate would suit your constitution
better than this"

Heroic words.

In these days of destructive criti-
cism it is something of a comfort to
feel assured that any heroic act or ut
terance has established for itself a
permanent place in history beyond all
danger of being denied or explained
away. There is on record no nobler
expression of pure patriotism, than
the quiet words Of young Captain
Nathan Hale, as he was led out to his
doom: II only regret that | have but
one life to lose for my country" And
there can be no question that the SEN
timent is authentic. The day after
the execution British officers who had
been present, visited the American
camp and gave all the details of the
scene to CAPTAIN William Hull, who
had been BALES college mate at Yale.
The heroic words we're published
nearly a century ago, and in the life
of General Hull there is the full mar
rative of the execution as reported
by eye-witnesses. In the current
number of Harper's Monthly, at the
conclusion of a sketch of Hale's life,
is a quotation from Lafayette which
is less generally known, and which
proves that the sentiment was in per-
feet keeping with everything he said
and did in the face Of the halter. A
touching interest is added to the fate
of Andre by HIS request that he might
die like a soldier. The request could
not be granted, but he was
treated considerably and courteously.
According to Lafayette, Hale was
tainted with the ignominy of death
by the halter, but for him there could
be no disgrace in death for his coun-
try, in whatever form it might come.
This is a fine death for a soldier
said one of the English officers who
were surrounding the cart of execu-
ton. Sir, replied Hale, lifting his
cap, there is no death that would not
be rendered noble in such a glorious
cause" 1t would be hard to find in
all our history a more dignifed figure
than this young revolutionary martyr,
aud the city where he met his fate
could Gel tainly select no nobler sub
ject for a statue or other memorial of
his life and death.

Although Lord Salisbury's ATTEMPT.
made just before the fall of the Dis
raeli government, to have Palestine
and Asia Minor colonized under Brit
ish auspices, has failed, the project.
aside from its evident political mo-
tive, was n o. the most sensible that
the late foreign Office suggested. An
exceedingly fertile country on the
Mediterranean does not produce a
tenth part Of what it might If it were
properly titled, but the ablest of the
native farmers know by years of sad
experience that whatever surplus
they may have after r%eserving a mis-
cradle subsistence for themselves will
be stolen by that most r%apacious class
Of Oriental thieves known as tax
CATERERS, consequently famines are
frequent in a land that once was fer.
tile and happy. Were English farm
ers upon the ground their government
would see that they we're secured IN
the possession of their own, while the
Turkish treasury would receive more
from them in the way of taxes than il
now obtains from whatevar estates
these men might cultivate. The en-.
terprise has enough Of philanthropy,
and reform possibilities in it to de
serve the attention Of the Gladstone
| government.
