An Unequal Tax,

St Landry Democrat.
According to the State census Of
1875, there we're in Louisiana l88, $50
persons entitled to vote. OF course
there were other males over twenty
one years old not entitled to vote.
The law is, we believe, that all males
over twenty-one years of age shall
pay poll tax Of one dollar. Now
the State Treasarer's report for 1879
shows that during the year only $42,-
548 46 for poll tax were paid into the
treasury, and this included collections
from one to ten years back. Only
those who pay tax on property pay
a poll tax. This tax is neither uni
form nor equal, except on the tax
payers who pay their taxes. It is a
sham aud fraud, and ought to be
abolished, or collected from all. For
the year 1879, less thar $1,000 for poll
tax we're collected ip this parish, and
yet there must be about 1000 males
in it over Fl years Of age. If our law
makers would provide q remedy to
collect this tax, there would not be
so much necessity for the increase in
the assessment of the property of
those who pay all the taxes, poll tax
included.

But no respectable young man will

SONG OF rHE BREEzE.

As sung by the major general in 9TH
Pirates of Penzance."]
Softly signing to the river
Comes the lowly breeze.
Setting nature all a quiver,
Rustling thro' the trees,
Thro' the trees.
And the brook. in gentle measure,
Laughs for very love,
While the poplars in their pleasure
Wave their arms above
Yes, tue trees in very pleasure,
Wave their leafy arms above.
Yet the breeze il but = rover;
When he wings away
Brook and poplar mourn lover,
Signing, well a-day!
Well a-day!
All, the wooing aud undoing
That the rogue could tell
When the breeze is out a -wooing
Who can WOO so welll
All, the tales the rogue could tell
Nobody could WOO so we'll.

weight, while the other half is valua-
BILE food to produce beef aud milk.
lts yield is astonishing, reaching an
average of 900 bushels to the acre on
suitable land, and in many instances
