THE EXTRA SESSION.


sembly will meet in extra session at
New Orleans, for the purpose OF
framing such laws as will extricate
the body polite of the State from the
grave difficulties in which it was
plunged by the errors Of omission and
commission at the memorable session
of 1880.
We have said all we had to say,
and have presented several weighty
arguments regarding the Governors
action in assembling the Legislature
ut New Orleans.
With all the lights before him, the
Governor has persisted in adheripg
to his opinion. He alone will be res
ponsible for the consequences that
may follow.
We will not maintain our opposi-
ton so far as to render it factious.
On the contrary, we will pray for
good results.
We do not wish to array the rep
resentatives from the rural districts
against those of New Orleans, but do
desire to warn them against the dan
GERS that will beset them while legis-
lating amid influences that will view
the situation from q New Orleans
standpoint.
They must see to it that in provid
ing to makeup the dollar on the State
paper, bought by the brokers for fifty
or sixty cents, they do not turn upon
the lands and real estate which have
borne all along almost the entire bur-
then of taxation.
They must not be entrapped into
any scheme that contemplates sub
version of the constitutional limita-
ton of six mills, by raising assess
ments through any such engine as a
central bureau, decorated with the
name of State Board of Equaliza-
ton.
We do not mean that they should
combine to relieve the country from
it's just share of the obligations rest
ing upon the State, but we ask that
they vote against any system of
assessments that passess beyond the
control of the citizens of each parish.
We favor equitable assessments of
property everywhere. That being
provided for, let comprehensive
and fair license schedule be adopted,
in which will not be omitted the
travelling representatives of CONNER
cial houses, who, thus far, have been
permitted to do the bulk of the bust
ness without paying a cent for the
support Of the State, while resident
merchants have been paying all along
the tax on their stocks and license
for the privilege of selling the same.
1t requires no craftsmanship to
squeeze out of real estate the
amounts necessary to satisfy public
obligations. 1t does, though, to OBJ
tain a fair proportion of the revenues
from sources better able to supply It
than the former.
Let the legislators, for this one
time, keep away from the blandish
ments OF New Orleans, and devote
their whole time, both in the com
mittee and the assembly rooms, to the
duties incumbent upon them.
The Legislators who so sadly disap-
pointed popular expectations in 1880,
ought to retrieve themselves in the
forthcoming extra session.
We will refrain from prejudging
their conduct and with the people
whose welfare is in their Keeping,
hope for good results from their ac-
-tions.

A writer n the New Orlean $
Democrat, treating of women, their
capacities and opportunities for
work, dwells at length upon their
unwillingness To study long and
learn a trade or profession, to be-
come SO. technically correct as to
command fair wages Men have
to do this, and women, if they
would succeed, must do so also.
The few who do give thems Ewes to
study are sure to succeed. An in
stance at hand is that of Miss Jane
Lee, daughter of the Archdeacon of
Dublin, who though only twenty
four years OF age, is one of the
most learned women in Europe.
The late. Profound scholar, Prof.
Beufey. was her teacher, and before
his death he charged her to put in
to English the whole OF the great
Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata,
$4,000 lines, as only fragments Of
it had been translated before. Miss
Lee has begun her task, and she
will also help Prof. Atkinson with
his Old Irish Dictionary for the
Royal Irish Academy. There are
few men now living capable of such
work. in this country-not perhaps
a half dozen.

4 seoond.Hand President.

The. discussion now going on
with reference to the question
whether it would be legal fo- Vice
President Arthur to act as the
president while President Garfield
is disabled, brings up a good story,
never yet printed, told OF President
Fillmore, who was elected vice
president and succeeded President
Taylor upon the latter's death.
About the time that Fillmore be-
came president the then British
minister to Washington was re-
called and was selling off his house
hold goods, etc. He had a very
han dsome coach which Fillmore
thought of purchasing. Mr.. Fill
more went down to Inspect the We
hicle and took along his coachman,
Pat, jolly son of the Emerald Isle.
They examined the carriage, and
Pat thought it was "nste thing"
and his excellency the minister did
not ask too much for it. "But,
Pat" said Fillmore, musipgly,
wouldn't be the correct thing, do
you think, for the President Of the
United States to be riding about in
a secondhand carriage?" Faith.

Pat; "yees is only a secondhand
president" Fillmore didn't buy

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
The Harvegts of the World.


A London telegram of the 23d
ultimo says. The volume Of re-
ports on the harvest of the differ.
ent countries throughout the world,
brought out by NJ. Estienne annu
ally, is now being issued. The re-
ports of the wheat crop in France
are this year from over a larger
area and indicate better, crop than
last year. This years harley is
not so good as in 1880, but it is
fairly good. The maize crop ls
very ordinary. Oats and rye are
fair. On the whole the crops are
not up to, those of last year. but
wheat is not much below the aver
age. None of the crops will be
very bad, but none will be very
good. The crops in Great Britain
are described as follows: Wheat is
ten per cent. below the average and
likely TO realize only 100000
quarters. Barley is ten per cent.
above the average and oats are
twenty per cent. below the average.
The year is one in which farmers
are not likely to recoup themselves
for losses during the past five years.
In Austria and Hungary the crops
are good all round. Wheat and
barley are both above the average.
Rye is very much and oats
are slightly under the average.
The reports from Italy agree that
the crops are of medium quality
and much below the abundance of
those of 1880. In the Turkish
provinces on the Danube the wheat
harvest will be medium. Rye is
good and abundant Barley is
good as regards quantity, but bad
in quality. Oats are very much
above the average. Ali the reports
from Russia agree that the barley
is the best crop of the year, doub-
ling that of 1880 in quantity, but
not SO plump and weighty. Rye is
abundant. Wheat is good. Through
out Germany winter and spring
are in marked contrast, the
former yielding good and the latter
very detective crops. Oats are veny
good. Barley is thin. None oil
the crops are of the average. IL
the Prussiau states the crops are
fair. The Swiss wheat crop s very
poor in quantity owing to drought,
but in quality it is very fine Oats
and barley are good in quantity |
and quality, but there is small |
area sown of the latter. Belgian
wheat is far below the aver
age. Barley is good, rye and oats
are fair. All crops in Spain are
bad. All cereals in Holland are in
good condition. All reports from
,he United States agree that the
yield will be under the average.

A Frontier Home.

Gen. Forsythe tells of a stage
station-keeper on the frontier who
is the sole occupant of a solitary
but unique domicil. The hut con-
tains stalls for four animals, and a
combination parlor, kitchen and
sleeping apartment SIX by ten feet
in size. Over the door, outside, in
huge charcoal letters, is Hotel de
Starvation, 1000 miles from hay
and grain, seventy miles from wood,
fifteen miles from water. and only
twelve inches from hi" The walls
of the room are decorated with pic
lures cut from police publications.
Over the door, inside in charcoal
letters a foot in length are the
words: "God bless our home"
and in another place the notice,
"Wanted-a nice young girl for
general homework. Apply within"

What it Costs to XIII a Man.

We have some curious sta tistics
from a French author writing on
contemporary wars, as TO what it
costs to kill man. He takes the
whole expenditure of money for
each war and divides that by the
number of men killed on the fiela,
or whose death was owing dirtctly
to the war. In the Crimean war.
where many were congregated in
close quarters, he estimates that
100000 were killed at the cost OF
81, 165 per man. Putting the deaths
in our war at $4,000. which is rath-
er low estimate, each death was
purchased at cost of SI6.735. In
tue late Mexican and South Amer
lean wars the expense for killing a
man was $4,000 In the Danish
war, $500 lives were lost at an av-
erage of $4,000. In the Austro-
Prussian campaign of 1866, which
ended al Sadowa, $500 was the
price per death. 1t will thus be
seen that it costs this government
more to extinguish one life than any
of the other countriea mentioned,
and that the cost of killing in any
them, would maintain several in
times of peace.

A travelling dentist IN Australis

A travelling dentist In Australia
advertises a new method of extrac
ting teeth, without the aid of
chlorotorm or laughing gas" When
a patient calls upon him for treat
ment, he places him In a chair and
makes fixture of him with
straps and bands. Then be puts
the forceps to the bad tooth and
gives it terrific jerk inward.
That" he says, sis the way that
DR.. Smith does it," He gives it
another yank IN the opposite direc
ton, remarking. "Andathat is the
way that Dr.. Jones goes to work"
By this time the tooth is quite
loose. With a gentle pull he forces
it out. saying, But this is the way
that l do. Send your friends to me
and I'll conviace them of the supe-
riority of my method"

The profit in rearing three-year-
old colt that will sell for 500 only
is much greater than in rearing a
steer that sells at that age for $50.
just now horsefiesh is the most
profitable stock that can be pro-
duced. There is a steady demand
for horses both for working and for
driving, at very remunerative pri-
ces. The bugbear of oVer-supply
need not stand in the way of enter
prise in this direction.
