IMPORTANT TO THE CIGAR TRADE.

We have recently had our attention called
to d new and important improvement in the
manufacture OF cigars, and as it is one that is
clearly destined to revolutionixe the cigar bust
mesa, we have had one of our reporters, who
especially conversant with the tobacco and
cigar trade, to interview che inventors and
latentees. The invention was patented May
II, 1878, by Messrs. j. & A. Frey. These
gentlemen have had many years experience
in the cigar business. The cigars are made
principally of the very best seed and Havana
lobaccos, with closed tucks, and amongst the
advantages they possess over all other cigars
tlay be mentioned: A positive retention OF
inc aroma of the filler-its loss by evaporation
being impossible. A better, quicker and en-
uIely round light; and they will not break
when carried in the pocket. These are advan-
lagos which will be recognized by every
emoSer as being OF the greatest importance.
N short, it m be said that Messrs. j. & A.
f'ey have made very decided hit with their
new idea. No one can properly realize the deli
"cy of the flavor and aroma Of cigar made
In this way until he makes personal trial,
md this we advise our readers, whether in
The trade or not, to do. Even in the appear
ause OF the cigar there is something novel and
attractive, the small, neat twist, which secures
and iase the whole, being decided i'm
pfovement. Though the new patent cigar has
seen tor such short time before the public,
there are already indications that its manutac-
lure in the skilliul and experienced hands OF
The Messrs. Frey viii prove wonderfully sue

WEDNESDAY,, Jan. IL, 1881.


Board met pursuant to adjournment,
with the following members present
j. w. Bryan, President; S. d. Read,
7. B. Ferren and Jno. II. Poe.
On motion, the bond of VIM. L.
Hutchins, as Treasurer of the Parish
School Board in and for the parish of
Calcasieu, was accepted and approved.
The following resolution was offered,
and, on motion, was adopted, viz:
Resolved, by the Board of School
Directors of the parish of Caleasicu,
That, in the opinion of this Board, the
sheriff and collector Of said parish has,
up to this date, used all due and posi-
BILE diligence to collect the poll tax for
the year 1880, and that this Board is
satisfied, that, under present circun-
stances, no more of said poll tax could
have been collected, than has been this
day accounted for by said sheriff and
tax collector
The following appeal to the taypay
ers of the parish of Calcasieu was Of
fered, and, on motion duly seconded,
was unanimously adopted, viz;
In view of the fact that, under Art.
227 of the State Constitution, the funds
derived from the collection of the Poll
Tax, are applied exclusively to the sup.
port of the public schools in the parish
in which they are collected, and in
view of the fact that, under existing
laws, very small amount of money,
if any, will be obtained from other
sources, for the maintenance of our
schools, the Board of School Directors,
for the parish of Calcasieu, therefore
respectfully call upon all who have not
paid their poll taxes, to come up man
fully and pay the moderate sum of one
dollar, which isrequired and demanded
of them, in behalf of the noble cause Of
public education.
Before the Board came VIM. l..
IIutcbins, Treasurer of the Parish
School Board, and presented hisreport,
and, on motion, said report was laid
over until the next meeting of the
Board for investigation.
On motion, the Board adjourned
sine die.
Approved.

Work and Feed.
chambers journal.

An instance of an inventive genius
in an illiterate farmers boy is too good
to be forgotten. A small farmer hired
a youth to assist him in the work of
bis farm as an indoor servant. The
first piece of work be was set to do was
to thrash out some corn. As the far
mer was passing the barn in which the
youth was at work, he heard the fail
lazily keeping time to tune the lad
was singing. Stopping to listen, he
ascertained that the words were, sBread
and cheese take thy ease" Upon go
ing into the house, the farmer remarked
to his wife: "This is a rather queer
sort of a lad We have gotten; he seems
to think that the speed at which he
ought TO work should be measured by
the kind of food he gets" And then
relating what he had heard, he sug-
gested, Suppose We give him some
thing different for dinner tomorrow,
and see how that acts 7" This being
agreed to, he had apple pie added to
his bread and cheese. This brought
down his fail somewhat more rapidly,
for 10 was going TO the speed where
with the lad sang, apple pie accord
ingly." "Bob's doing bit better to-
day, lass" said the farmer to his wife;
''let us mend his dinner again to-mor.
row, and see what that will bring forth. T"
So when the next dinner time came
around, he had good plate of beef
and pudding set before him, which
went down right grandly, and brought
the fail into splendid action to the
words, "Beef and puddin' III gle thee
drubbin'," and to a jolly good tune.
81 see plainly" said the farmer, 81 if |
wish to get good work out of Bob, we
must feed him WE'LL" SO Bob had his
bill of fare improved without having
recourse to a strike.

The ruin of a Sunday school--at
least for one of its members-was
thus pathetically announced by
him to a missionary of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union in North
Carolina. This may reprove some
other teacher guilty of such ruina-
ton. The missionary relates it
thus: On Sunday afternoon, /
stopped in front of a log-cabin, and
asked a little fellow who sat Oh
the doorstep for a cup Of water.
In reply to my inquiries he said
his name was Lewis; that he was
eight years old, and that he knew
the way to the unday school and
as / was burTying to its meeting, /
asked if he were not going. No"
said he, ~ ha'n't been there in
three Sundays-it's all ruinedn
(" Why, how is that, Lewis 7 Has
there been any fuss between the
teachers; any fighting or mischief
among the boysw "No, sir, j
reckon not; but it's all ruined p
" Now, Lewis, my dear boy, what
has ruined your nice little Sunday
schoolf7 Looking at me with an
expression of grief peculiar to one
of his tender age, he said. " She
don't come any more; it's all
ruined" The poor boy knew not
why his loved teacher had failed
to come to the school. Enough
for him to know that in her absence
it was ruined for him. The absence
OF a teacher may cause ruin to some
scholars interest.

Except at crossings, where the pub
lie have a right of way, man who
steps his foot upon a railroad track
does SO at his peril. The company has
not only a right of way, but it is ex-
elusive at all times and for all purposes.
The world demands quick transporta-
ton. Increased speed necessitates in
creased danger. Holding, as we do,
such corporations to strict RESPONSE
bility Cor negligence, it is our duty to
give them clear track. This rule is
not only proper in itself, but is neces-
sary for the preservation of life. Its
propriety is no longer a subject of dis
cussion. 1t also is to be equally under
stood that parents who permit their
children to trespass upon the track of
a railroad are guilty of negligence. 1t
is gross and culpable negligence, for it
imperils the lives of the children so
trespassing, as also the lives of the
travelling public.-Canley VS.. Pitts

IN. o. City rtem,l


An eminent member of the bar has
kindly furnished us the following,
which explains ITSELF
The poll tax is levied equally upon
all male inhabitants over twenty-one,
and IS payable on and after January
first each year. tits a lien on all prop.
erty Of the taxpayer for the year,
follows the property notwithstanding
transfers, and cannot be prescribed. II
may be collected by distraint, without
suit, after ten days notice.
Employers are liable for the tax of
those they employ, provided the SER
vice has been for ninety days during
the year for which the tax is due. The
property Of employer or employee, in
case of non-payment of the tax, may
be seized and, after ten days advertise
mcnt, sold to pay the tax and costs.
The tax is never to be less than one
dollar nor more than one dollar and a
half per head, and is devoted to the
maintenance of the public schools.
Considerable inquiry having been
made of late relative to this tax, its
purpose and the mode of its collection,
the above is furnished for the benefit
of those interested. If the collection
be enforced as provided by law, the
buIdcn of costs entailed by neglect to
pay, will be quite serious.
