A GOOD IDEA.

We understand that the Police Ju-
ry of st. Bernard Parish has lately
selected a young gentleman, from
a number of applicants, whom they
propose to send to the University in
this city, to be educated at the ex-
pense of the parish. We also hear
that Red River parish proposes to do
the same thing. This is very SEN
sible move, and we have no doubt,
while it enables a poor boy to acquire
an education, will redown, in time,
to the credit and elevation of the par
ish. A mere glance at the PROPOSE
ton will show the beneficial results
Of the intellectual competition which
itentails. The different parishes will
do well to select a young man in this
way every two years. Four hun
dred and fifty-six dollars will defray
the expenses of a couple of scholars
per year, and while the parish will
not feel the expense, genius may be
brought to light, where it would 9th
erwise be forever hidden from view.
Let the parish papers take this mat
ter in hand, and with their influence
bring the movement to a successful
Issue throughout the entire State.
Thus will our University, which
should be the pride of every Louisia-
Man, be brought to the immediate
notice Of the people. We call upon
our generous confreres to put their
shoulders to the wheel. What will
East Baton Rouge do?

st. Bernard Eagle: The Baton
Rouge CAPITOLIAN has entered upon
its third volume, and we should like
to say something appropriate to the
occasion, if it were not that we have
already exhausted our vocabulary OF
praise in its favor. Every issue OF
this popular journal bears an intro
ductrory impress of congratulation
that speaks more OH It's behalf than
we have power to express, aud we can
only hope that its thirtieth volume
will meet with as much sue cess as
the one now open before lis.

The Ponchatoula Gazette throws
this red hot shot in the ranks of the
extra session advocates: 1--WE are
sorry to note that IA few OF our con-
temporaries are endeavoring to create
reaction in the matter eff an extra
session of the Legislature, and strive
to persuade their readers that the con-
stitution Of 1880 is adequate for all
purposes of practical retorm-tLat it
is best to lett work its own redemp
ton. The arguments to this end are
too fallacioas and illogical in their
nature to exciteany special refutation
or to cause any material change in
the opposing masses"

Lord Derby said to the working
men: ave have heard great deal
recently about the peasantry becom-
ing owners of land and having gar
dens, fields and farms of their own,
Now, an acre of good agricultural land
is worth, on an average, about sixty
pounds, or, as nearly as possible, three
pence for every square yard. | Won
der how many workingmen consider
that when they order threepenny
worth of beer or spirits they are swal-
lowing down square yard of good
agricultural land"

AuARD THRUST.

| The following, though pretty hard
on some Of our confreres, is good
enough to be kept standing. It is
from the pen of the editor of that
staunch Democratic paper, the Thibo-
daux Sentinel, andin spirit of friend
illness we invite all hands to read it
the one to smile at the grim humor Of
the old veteran and the other to FAC
knowledge the corn -
"rhe country press, that broke out
SO badly some time ago, in abuse of
the new Constitution, seem to have
called a halt, in order to catch their
breath. The latest effusion that has
come to our table is found in the Pla-
quemine Observer, published below
New Orleans. That paper has made
the discovery that promises were
made to have the taxes collected by
the last of December, and away here
in January there are thousands of
dollars uncollected, consequently the
Constitution must be put down. Did
it never occur to the editor of that pa
per that the tax collector, and not the
constitution, should collect the taxes?
The law to enable the tax collector to
collect the taxes is ample, and if he
puts the law in force, taxes will be
paid. And SO these grumblers con-
time; if it rains too much the consti-
tuition must be changed, if the Mis-
sissippi gets too high the constitution
must be changed, and so on from June
to January these foolish objections
ard heard. The fact is we have a con-
shtution that is a good one, and any
faults that may exist within that in
strument can easily be remedied. If
newspapers would use as much ener-
gy in assisting the people to rebuild
the waste places; to carry out the re-
quirements OF the constitution and to
bring out its good points, as some of
them do in abusing that instrument,
and rendering it distasteful to those
who do not comprehend it, they would
do the State, some service, and in
crease its prosperity instead of injur-
ing its progressand. tranquility"
The great trouble is, we fail to
THINK. One moments thought will
often save us the modification OF fool
ish expressions. No one would at
tempts to deny but that there are
Objectionable features in the constitu-
ton. Still there is a way to correct
these evils without falling into the
greater error of wholesale denuncia-
ton, standpoint that seldom en-
braces reason or argument.
Now let all of our State papers open
their batteries on these Objectionable
features, and aided by local residents,
whose legal knowledge enable them
to suggest remedies, bring to bear the
wished for correction. by constitu-
tional amendment. This is the most
practicable and decidedly the cheap
est method.

A member of the Canadian Parlia-
ment, who had his coat stolen from
him in Ottawa, borrowed one of a
friend, and as it was much too small,
was arrested by the Police while on
his way home on suspicion of theft
and taken to the Police station. While
he was there the thief who had stolen
his coat was brought in. Explana-
tons were made, the member was
released, and the thief was the next
day sentenced to prison for one year.
