young gentleman, from : number Of
applicants, whom they propose to send
to the University in this city, to b.
educated at the expense of the parish.
We also hear that Red River parish
proposes to do the same thing. This
is a very sensible move, and we have
no doubt, while it enables d poor boy
to acquire an education, WillredOund,
In time, to the credit and elevation Of
the parish. Asmere glance atthe pro-
position will show the beneficial re-
suits Of the intellectual competition
which it entails. The different par
isles will do well to select a young
man in this way every two years.
Four hundred and fifty-six dollars

OF scholars per year, and while the
parish will not feel the expense, gent
us may be brought to light, where it
would otherwise be forever hidden
from view.-Baton Rouge Capitolian.
We heartily indorse the views of the
CApTToLIAN, and trust that the pub
lic-spirited Police Jury Of Ascension
will follow the example set by their
St. Bernard confrere. With all. or
nearly all, the parishes of the State
represented in the University by one
or two beneficiary students. the sue
cess and prosperity of that institution
which, as the CAPIToLIAN remarks.
"should be the pride Of every Louisi-
anian"-would be amply assured, and
it would soon attain a degree of ex-
cellence comparing favorably to that
of any college or university in the
country. Surely, this is "a consum-
nation devoutly to be Wished" and
we should rejoice to see the Police
Juries of the State doing their part
towards bringing it about.-Donald-
