The Bossier Banner says:
Men that'have nothing to do are most
always in the way Of somebody that has
something to do.
Which very truthful remark is verified
every day. Let a mechanic or workman
begin any kind Of labor, no matter where,
and there will soon congregate about him
coterie of oilers who not only watch
every motion made, obtrua themselves
on his oper ,ttions, but also have as'lous-
\ and a'Nl one suggestions u make as to
how the wcrs shonId he performed. They
arc worse than drones, for they can be
neither driven away nor destroyed.
Says the B0ssicr Banner:
Thousands Of ! tople who never read the
Bible i'll its ola form are kicking up q fuss
about its being revised.
| Over million copies have been sold in
London, and there is an unprecedented
demand for them iii New York. This only
goes to prove that the widespread discus
sion of its alterations and expurgations
have given it notoriety, and the sensation
loving Americans wish to see what is in it.
Our confrere justly remarks that those
who censure the changes most are those
who have read it least. We may soon
expect it to be widely discussed and quot
ed from, aud then-laid aside and forgot
ten.
Nothing more truthful has been written
than the following from the Rural Times
A parish without it's local paper is like
clock without its motive movement. 1t
gives momentum to every movement, de-
yelopes the enterprise Of its readers, and
advances the interests which have lain
dormant for want of convenience to unfold
| them.
Since the destruction, by fire, of the
VINDlcAToR Office, the constant, mcessant
and continuous enquiry is made, "When
will the paper be out :" 1t is asked by
enterprising business men, artisans, me-
chanics, planters, boys, loafers, idlers, fair
ladies, little girls and boys. The clock
has been motionless for several weeks.
The pendulum is once more adjusted, and
''here she goes, there she goes" is on every
tongee.
Says the State Central Express:
Stanley Matthews was confirmed as AS
sociate Justice Of the United States SUI
preme Court by majority of one vote.
Senators Edmunds, Davis, Bayard, Conk-
ling, and Logan opposed him, while Pen
dletOn, Beck, and Sherman favored his
confirmation.
Stanley Matthews has an iI,nenviable
reputation but for "a that" he is an ex-
ponent Of the Supreme laws Of the land.
One of our contemporaries says that, the
Democrats who voted for him should be
marked men," Pendleton, of Ohio, is
the only Democrat who favored his con-
firmation, hence the New Associate Justice
is indebted to Northern Democrat for his |
position.
The Claiborne Guardian has this to say |
about Mr.. Gunby's resolution:
The Webster Tribune fayors the adop-
ton Of Mr.. Gunby's resolution admitting |
young ladies as students into the Louis |
lana State University. We expressed our |
appreciation Of the measure last week, and |
would be glad to see every journal in the |
State speak out in its favor.
We see no reason why the ladies should
not have and enjoy the full benefits Of
this splendid State University. If there
is one class who are honored, beloved
worshipped almost to idolatry tits the fair
women of Louisiana. Our States proud
sons worship at the shrine of their loyli-
ness, devotion and patriotism with spirit
worthy Of the palmiest days Of ancient
chivalry. By all means admit the ladies
into the University. In SO doing Louisiana
will add one more gem of purest ray &C.
rene to the brilliant dliadem which crowns
her respondent brow.
The Monroe Bulletin says:
Judge Hahn, of the 26th Judicial Dis
trict, disconrages the habit of carrying
concealed weapons in manner that is
likely to have effect. In recent case be-
fore him, notwithstanding the recommen-
dalton of the jury for mercy, the accused
got two months in the parish prison and
500 fine, and in default Of paying the fine,
another month Of imprisonment. +
There are other judges who are equally
determined to punish this reprehensible
practice. If We mistake not, Judge D.
Pierson imprisoned ono Of our citizens
last winter, for q number ofdays for the
same offense. imprisonment has a much
more salutary and telling effect than any
fine that could he imposed. Every good
citizen deprecates this distestable habit
and the law should be rigidly enforced to
put stop to it.
We heartily endorse the following from
the Bossier Basxr:
1t is fact beyond dispute that tho only
true principle upon which to conduct =
newspaper is to require advance payment
On all subscriptions and transient adver-
tisements. The yearly loss as result Of
inc credit system to . newspaper having
. respectable circulation is something
enormous. Those that intend to do so can
usually pay in advance the small sum re-
9uired for years subscription, while
those that do not intend to pay, the pub
