IMPROVED HARNEss.-A recent writer
calls attention to the fact that with all the
inventions and improvements that have
been made, we are still driving and guild
ing our horses by means of appliances
practically the same as in Dy-gene ages.
Horses still away, as in years past
they have run away, and the appliances
for stopping them are, In o great Eany
cases, inadequate. The writer alludSd
to makes the suggestion that instead OF
attaching the lines direct, as now, they
might pass over a pulley on the head
stall, one end to be held in the hand as
now and the other fastened to some
fixed part Of the harness. This simple
continuance, in accordance with we'll
known laws of mechanics, would exact
ly double the power exerted by the
driver. ALI possible safeguards should
be thrown around the liability of acci.
dent to life or limb, especially as the
handling the reins is often entrusted to
timia or inexperienced persons. -Anler.

THE SUN for 1882 will make it's fifteenth
annual revolution under the present man,
| agement shining, as always, for all, big and

and yirtuous, Intelligent and obtuse. The
| every Sort but its genial warmth is for the
good. while it pours hot discomfort on the
| blstering backs OF the persistently wicked
The Sun of 1868 was a newspaper OF a new
| kind. 1t discarded many of the forms, and a
multitude OF the superfiuous words and phrases
| OF ancient Journalism. 1t undertook to report
| in fresh, succinct, unconventional way all
| the news of the world, emitting no event of
| human interest, and commenting upon affairs
with the fearlessness OF absolute independence
The success of this experiment was the success
| of The Sun. 1t effected a permanent change in
| the style of American newspapers. Every in-
portant journal established in this country in
| the dozen years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every important journal already
existing has been modified and bettered by the
force of The SUMS example.
The Sun of 1882 will be the same OutspOken,
truth-telling, and interesting newspaper.
By liberal use of the means which an album
dant prosperity affords, we shall make it better
than ever before.

In pOutlcS we nave ueclQou opinions; ana are

The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the
matter of the seven daily issues. An Agricul-

FEEBLE LADIEs.-Th languid, tire

scarcely able to be on your feet; that

marvellous remedy, Hop Bitters. r.

There is considerable discussion going
on among our State newspapers about
the equalization of the assessments of
property. Property should not be as
sessed at less than half its market
value; and by market value we mean
what it will bring at public sale for
cash or its equivalent. One Of the rail
roads in this parish is assessed at $4100
per mile we understand that mortgage
bonds have been sold on it at S12,5OO
per mile, and that the stock is worth
118- we judge from this that the rail-
road is worth $25,OOO per mile. When
there is law establishing a board to
equalize assessments, the railroad will
be liable to suffer.
St. Landry democrat., 1881-12-10

Even to your most intimate friends it
is not safe to say all you think concern
ing them OF their actions. You are not
called upon to gloss over their faults,
but you need not expose their follies.
Brutality OF speaking is too often dig
nitied with the title of sincerity. Some
persons pique themselves upon all they
think, and are continually protesting
to do so. AS proof of this, they will
say things the most shocking to others.
and give them pain without the least
remOrse. Such so-called sincerity is to
be suspected. The conduct which an
honest heart inspires flows naturally
from it; and those who say rough things
in order to convince others of their sin
cerlty give some reason to doubt Of
their being perfectly convinced of it
themselves. Their conduct is PERM
cious to the peace and pleasure of socie-
ty, and may also lead to very fatal con-
sequences. They do what they can to
brighten every one from what is right.
Ii sincerity, then, discovers such a
heart, disguise must appear desirable.
Few consider sufficiently how much the
cause OF virtue must suffer, whenever a
good qnallty is made to appear in an
unamiable light. Sincerity is, indeed,
the groundwork of all that is good and
valuable. However beautiful in ap-
pearance the structure may be, if it
stand not on this foundation it cannot
last. But sincerity can hardly be called
virtue in itself, though a deviation
from it is fault. A man may be sin
cere in his vices, as we'll as in his vir-
tues. Now he who throws off all re-
morse or shame, and even makes a
boast of his vices, can claim no merit
from the sincerity he expresses in so
doing. If he who is sincere cannot ap-
pear amiable, his heart is wrong, and
his sincerity, far from being a virtue,
seems only to add to the rest of his
faults that Of being willing to give pain
to others.

the distance from Baton Rouge to Ope-

Judge John Edwards King died at
his residence in Opelousas, at half past
eleven o'clock last Tuesday evening
9Th inst, aged 81 years, months and
81 days. He had been in delicate health
for year or two, and his last illness
which closed in death was not unexpec-
ted. After funeral services at the
Episcopal Church, his body was inferred
with Masonic honors by the fraternity
Of Humble Cottage Lodge No. 10, to
which he belonged. AS citizen, scholar,
lawyer and judge, he has filled too big
space in the history and politics Of the
parish and State, to be left without
further mention and next week we will
endeavOr to give short review of his
life.

An item we publish from the Thibo-
laux Sentinel mentions the death Of
Mr.. N. III. Smith in Galveston. His
mother was refugee here during the
war, and just after that time her three
sons, the deceased, 0. s. Smith and j.
j. Smith were residents Of this town
and parish-the latter resided about
Big Cane where they married. N. II.
Smith was clerk in the store Of s. H.
Saunders, just after the war, at the
present stand Of Julius Meyers & Co.,
Opelousas, and afterwards went to
Galveston, where it seems he recently
died. J. j. Smith died several years
ago at his residence near Big Cane.
o. s. Smith removed to Monroe in
Ouachita parish, q year or two ago, and
died there shortly afterwards. Their
mother died at Thibodaux, we believe,
several years ago.

Tiie-DrainIng.

Tile-Draining is becoming exceedingly
popular among the farmers of central IL
lin0is, and numerous factories are spring
ing up to supply the demand. We have now
gone far enough in experience, says a
contributor to the Chicago Tribune, TO
demonstrate that thorough and systematic
tile-draining will insure regular crops.
regardless Of either wet or dry seasons.
Tile-draining is no longer an experiment,
- it Is such an assured success that men
Of capital are eagerly seeking after cheap
swale lands, and are preparing to reclaim
and make them profitable. Five years
ago David r. Litter of Springfield pur-
chased the Hiram Sanford farm of 1000
acres near Hume in Edgar county. 1t had
always been subject to drought or floods,
and was as uncertain track of land as
there was in the State. Mr.. Litter en-
ployed James NJ. Bourne, a civil engi-
neer to tile-draih the whole tract which was
done at cost of nearly 5000. Two years
ago, very unfavorable season. that farm
produced more corn to the acre than any
other farm in Edgar county. Last year, a
favorable one. Mr.. Litter cribbed 60 feet
more Of corn than had ever been grown
on the place before. This year the pros
pect is highly encouraging. He is prac-
teal man, and will not say that tile-drain-
ing will pay for itself; but he is so well
satisfied with his Edgar county experience
that he has just purchased 1862 acres OF
wet land in Plat county, and proposes to
tile-drain it scientifically regardless of eX-
pense. Mr.. Littler called my attention to
another remarkable advantage that fol-
lowed his tile-draining experience in Ed
gar: Heretofore. in extremely dry sum-
mers. there would be no water. even stag
nant water. on the farm. But, as soon as
the drains were completed. n steady stream
Of pure cold water began to discharge
from the mains. and seems to be mex
haustibIe. having never failed yet. So he
has good water for his stock always at
hand without pumping. Upon inquiry
this seems to be the general result of tile
drainage.
