Spanish Laborers for Louisiana.

The New Orleans Picayune says:
Mr.. Chas. Nathan has left for Spain to
select some $50 or 200 laboring families
in the northern part of that country
and bring them to this State for en-
ployment by certain sugar and cotton
planters. They are expected to arrive
here by the end of September or the
first days of October. Mr.. Nathan has
been urging our planters to this step
ever since 1871, when he went to
Europe and brought out 100 laboring
families, who gave satisfaction to the
planters. Mr.. Nathan is also appointed
by the State Bureau of Immigration as
agent during his. stay in Europe, to
promote emigration to Louisiana.
This is wise measure on the part of
Commissioner Harris, as Mr.. Nathan is
thoroughly qualified for the mission to
which he Il assigned,

Georges Visit to the Circus.

Georges papa told George one day
that he would take him to the circus
on the morrow-to show him the ami
mails, he said. Of course George was
delighted. He had been to the menag-
erie once with his Aunt Maria, but as
she did not know peccary from q pei
lean, or camel from camelopard,
it was not much satisfaction to him.
He was going with his papa now, and
he danced about the room like Jump
ing-iack till his Aunt Maria threatened
to die and his mamma to go crazy if he
did not be quiet. So George became
quiet-but that was after he had been
sent to bed.
When the morrow came, George and
his papa jumped into a horse-car that
was going by horse-cars passed the
house every five minutes--the bell rang
twice, and away they entrattling along
over the pavements.
They got out when they arrived at
the circus grounds, and Georges papa
led George safely through the crowd
that was tending toward the entrance
to the great tent. How excited George
wss!
When they got inside where the ami
mails were, George was an animated in
terrogation- point. He wanted to know
the name of every animal he saw-he
was glad his papa was with him. Boys
have such confidence in their father!
They know he knows everything.
Georges papa began to wish that he
had never seen . circus. This little
son was so eager and talked 50 loud
that everybody near was looking at
him.
.sOh, par exclaimed George, point
ing to an hyena, whats thatp'
A sudden hush ensued, during which
every one near listened with painful
earnestness to catch the answer.
-. Georges org Isl papa asked ""has did you
He said this very slowly, in the mean
time running his eye over and under
the cage, thinking perhaps there might
be q name somewhere, But there
wasn't. e
BY this time the anxiety manifest on
every face to ascertain that ANIMAL
name had become so intense that he
couldn't, without cruelty, keep It longer
secret. So he said
"Oh!-er-that- er-that- is-er-a
volt, my son!''
Everybody tslt relieved. He did,

Notwithstanding he thought he detected
q giggle and heard one of the young
ladies who had been the most eager Of
all to get his answer say to the other,
."Oh! come along, May! No use to
waste our time herer' He suspected
they were schoolmarms. George looked
q little incredulOus, too; but he said
nothing.
"Oh. pa! there's lionr' shouted
George, forgetting the wolf-hyena epi-
sode at sight of the king of beasts.
ayes. my son." said his papa, who
just now seemed to prefer assertion to
inquiry; that is a ion." Georges
father said this quite loud.
"And there is a camel" exclaimed
George again; "or is it "a dromedaryw
he'll added, thoughtfully. II forget
which ono has two humps"
eyes. George" said his father, s'the
camel has one hump and the dromedary
two-no," he added, seeing a queer
look in q gentleman's eye near by,
"the camel has two humps and the
dromedary three''-that giggle again
~ should say, sometimes the drome-
Diary has three humps and sometimes
the camel"
At this juncture Georges papa OBJ
served lady stuff her pocket handker-
chief in her mouth, while the gentle
man with her showed face as red as
q beet, and noise like the Emery
brooks a-gurgling" issued from his
oesophagus.
Georges papa grasped Georges hand
with the energy Of despair and rushed
to the other side of the tent. He might
as well have remained where he was.
Better, in fact. It did seem to
Georges papa that the earth had been
ransacked for rare birds and beasts with
the sole and simple intent of setting
him crazy.
stranger thought he, "that they
don't have the names of the animals on
their cages. 1t would be so convenient
when one happened to forget.r'
whats that, pap said George for
the twentieth time, pointing at a porcu-
pine. ,..s .E..,
1t would not do to hesitate. There
was pretty and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
young lady close by. She was waiting
for his reply.
,"Oh, that's an ostrich" he said.
Was it the Ostrich that gave vent
to that scream? No; it was quiet
enough.
Georges papa didn't cast another
look at that young lady. He remem-
bered that he was married.
But he took hold of Georges hand
once more and made bee line for the
circus part of the Enclosure. When
he got in there, be cast a look about
him.
There were no strange beasts in
there.
He was happy.
BY and by the performance began.
It was truly edifying to see Georges
papa blossom out in knowledge.
Why, he seemed to know every
thing.
George did not have to ask ques-
tions. His papa told him everything
as it went along.
He knew the name of everything
that was used in the ring, and the
names of the performers, especially
the ladies.
He told George that these were ''bal-
loons' and those ''banners;'' that this
was Madame Suchaone, and that
Mademoiselle Soandso.
George was proud of his papa;
prouder than he was in the menagerie.
When he got home, he told his
mamma and Aunt Maria a good deal
more about the circus than the ami
