A few weeks ago we published a
statement that Eastern capitalists had
been lending money, for several years,
to Western farmers, on mortgage Sc
curity, to enable the latter to cultivate
and improve their lands. Now the
New Orleans Daily States says party
of English capitalists are about to offer
several millions of dollars, as loans to
Southern farmers, at eight per cent
per annnm interest, on long time, with
mortgage security, to enable the waste
places Of the South to be cultivated
and improved. If true--and the
States says there is no doubt about it
there will be soon vast advance in
the material prosperity of the South
ern States.

EXTRACT FROM JUDGE HupspETH's
suHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY.

AS to the Sunday ordinance of oui
Police Jury, in my opinion, no better
law is to be found in our statute book
That it is one which meets the appro-
baton of a very large majority of the
people of the parish is potent from its
continued affirmance and reafiirmance
by successive Police Jurics since its
adoption in 1877.
In the interest of law and order, no
law on the statute book, more loudly
calls for rigid enforcement than the
Sunday ordinance. Even partially en-
forced by our grand juries, it has been
productive of the best effects in our
parish. 1t has elevated public morals;
it has decreased crime; it has greatly
lessened the costs of criminal prosecu-
ton, and has decreased the burdens of
taxation. If to-day there are so few
crimes committed in St. Landry com
pared to what were committed ten
years ago, it is as much due to this
Sunday law assto any other cause. THE
records of our criminal trials before
the enactment Of this ordinance will
show that many of the most heinous
offanses were committed on the Sab
bath day. The reasons are Obvious to
any rejecting mind. The men would
congregate in masses, in towns or
around country stores on Sundays.
Armed with dangerous weapons as
was too often the case, excited by
drinking ardent spirits, they would
quarrel, blows would pass and the re-
suit was frequently bloodshed and
often murder. This was the evil at
which the Sunday ordinance of the
Police Jury struck, and struck effect
ually. 1t removed the cause, and the
effect ceased as matter of course.
There are some ] know who contend
this ordinance smacks of Puritanism.
1t does nothing of the sort. 1t is a
mere police regulation, which interferes
with no mans conscience, nor imposes
any peculiar observance of the day
upon any one. 1t merely makes the
Sabbath day what God intended it, a
day Of TEST, suspends all business, and
leaves the individual to .spend the day
as he secs fit. The highest judicial
tribunal OF the State in case coming
up on appeal from Baton Rouge, under
an ordinance precisely similar to ours,
affirmed its constitutionality and legal
ity in every respect, year before last,
as you will see by a reference to 81 a
663. Let me therefore hope yon will
give the enforcement of this ordinance
the attention it deserves st. Landry
Democrat.

The st. Louis Railway Register, of

Company, left the city withthe largest

THE SUNDAY LAw.--We commend
the attention of our readers Ito the
charge of Judge Hudspeth to the
Grand Jury of St. Landry, given last
week, on the Sunday law, which we
publish in another column. Judge
IIndspeth is not Sabbatarian, nor a
professor of religion, but he knows
what the law is, and how to enforce
it; and when he sees the benefcent re-
suits Of enforcing a law like this, he
does not fear to commend the law
because it is distasteful to few
individuals.

They Wanted Too Much.

It's very aggravating to st. L0uis
man to pass by the immense works of
the Pullman Palace Car Company near
Chicago, with their surrounding vii
lage of comfortable and attractive
houses that have sprung mp in the
prairie as if by magic. He can not
fail to be impressed with the extent Of
the works, the size of the magnificent
buildings, and the arrangements so
carefully made for the health of the
employees. 1t is, in fact, a large town,
all bnlItup where year ago was only
a broad field of vacant ground. What
displeases the st. Louis spectator is
the thought that this city might have
had these works if its citizens had
only been more enterprising and lib
eral. But no, the old fogies who
owned thereguired land asked double
price for it as soon as it was suspected
that the Pullman Company wanted it,
and we lost the plum. It'necds no
prophet Jeremiah to weep over such
wilfnlfolIy, nor q new Elijah to cryJin
despair, allow long, O Lord, how
long!" If the fool-killer was abroad
in the land, we fear that some of our
people would suffer But we see bright
and assuring signs Of an suspicious
change. May they prove true.-TSt.

shows face like shield Of glowing
gold. But the aspect quick y changes;
spots come rushing in all directions
and assuming all forms. They ap-
pear singly and in pairs, and again
in groups and rows. Immense groups
break up into small ones, and small
ones unite to form great chasms,
into which half dozen worlds might
be dropped and there would still be
room for more.
Sometimes the spots are visible to
the naked eye, and at that time a
good opera-glass or a spy-glass will
make them easily perceptible. Hun
dreds of observers all over the world
watch the suns face every clear day.
and keep record of the number of
spots, their size and the direction i'm
which they move, for as the sun turns
on its axis they turn with him, some
of them remaining for months with
out much change, some taking on
new forms and some disappearing
entirely. Very little is known Of
this mysterious sun, or the spots that
are visible more than ninety millions
Of miles away.
Once in about eleven years the
sun takes on his present sun-spot
phase, and we are approaching the
maximum Of disturbance. No one
knows the cause.
Some believe that it is planetary
attraction, some that it is the fall of
great masses of meteoric matter,
and some that II is the result of in
ternal commoEion and the rush up-
ward OF gaseous explosions in com
parison with which our fereest vol

a flame. Besides the sun-spot agita-

who makes daily observation Of the

description of rea4sarkabfe solar
protuberance that he wi messed on
the 10th Of November. When FIRST
seen it was large and eonplieated,
extending upward from the san about
100000 miles
Three or four hours after, it had
developed into huge proportions, ex-
tending far out into space, and van

as it could be measured. it reached
a height of over quarter OF tho

Such q protuberanoe hurled upward
from the earth would almost reach

whole. structure had collapsed, and
was only about eighteen thousand
