less it is necessary for the health OF

to take a similar oath, not to put up
or sell any such article, except by

The Laws Upheld and Enforced.

Law has been found necessary in
every condition of society. From
the earliest times, when tribes mi
grated from place to place, there has
been government. Even the savages
have chiefs whose voice is heard and
whose mandates are obeyed. The
last thing any people will tolerate is
anarchy. Dangerous men may
preach incendiary doctrines and
arouse the bad passions of the worst
men, but at last there comes time
when the best portions of society
unite for their salvation, and when
the wicked and reckless undertake
to oyerturn society and destroy all
law and order it is found that they
are met at the very Threshold by
those who have the power and the
determination to crush out the spirit
of evil and to maintain civil institu.
tons and the social order. No peo-
pie like the Americans will long
tolerate communistic views and
principles after they become aggres-
sive and active. The moment an at
tempt is made, if it is ever made, to
carry into practical effect the dan
gerous, senseless, wicked and agrari
an views that have been imported
from the Continent Of Europe, that
moment a match will be applied to
the mine Of the peoples long suffer.
ing, and such an explosion will be
heard throughout this whole country
as will fairly startle the reckless des-
peradees who would topple in ruins
the grandest and stateliest and most
benefcient fabric that was ever rear
ed by the genius and wisdom of
man. Our people will give great
latitude to free speech, but lawless-
ness and crime will not he tolerated
for any length of time.

SWAMP LANDS.-Louisiana con-
tains immense tracts of fresh water
marsh lands, which, with a surface
soil of rich black loan two to six
feet deep resting on a subsoil of blue
clay, are exceeding rich, and, if
drained, would be very productive.
Efforts are now being made to re-
claim these lands and subject them
to tillage, and a company owning
200, 900 acres has succeeded, after
two years work, in draining $4,000
acres, which will be planted in rice
this year. The soil of the swamp
lands is well adapted to oranges,
figs, bananas and other tropical
fruits-the orange trees growing to
an enormous size and producing
fruit which, it is said, has no equal
in the world. they are no less suit
able for sugar and rice crops: it is
estimated that they will yield four
hogsheads of sugar, or forty barrels
of rice, to the acre worth $16O for
the former and $40 for the latter.
The company estimates that when it
shall have reclaimed it's whole area
of 100000 acres and brought it un,
der cultivation it will have a gross
income of $50, 100000 from it. This
looks like an excessive estimate, but
if it be reduced one half it will still
be magnificent income from mag
nlficent estate. e.

TRASHY NovELs.-The reading
Of trashy novels is becoming more
and more a habit with the children
Of the present generation, and it is
doing no little harm. Parents should
be very careful as to the kind of lit.
erature they throw in the way of
their children. There is nothing that
is more improving to the young
mind than the reading of standard
literature, nor is there anything
more injurious than "trash." When
a child shows that it is fond of
reading, it should be encouraged in
it, and furnished with the right
kind Of matter, and not allowed to
pick up ''yellow back" novels for
want Of something better. The
very best works can be bought, in
cheap bindings, for a trifle, so the
cost is NO excuse.
