"The Villa Bohemia" is the title of
very interesting little novel recently
published by Messrs. Kochendorfe &
Uric, copy Of which has been sent us
for perusal. An idea Of the plot Of the
work may be formed upon glancing at
the paper cover of the work which bears
a picture of a small country house with
the significant sign stuck up in it's front
yard: "No man allowed on these prem
ises under penalty of the law" The
book, written in the happiest style of
the author, Marie LeBaron, contains true
pen pictures of life and is worth reading.
Its characters may be found iu every
day life, aud wherever read it must re-
ceive the most favorable criticism.

That they had o reasonable right to sup
pose that 1t was an error on the part of the
Police Jury to demand Of them the pay
ment of such a license, and that it should
therefore not surprise you that when they
were assured by able and competent legal
advisers that they could not legalfy be
made to pay the same, they refused to do so.
( Now Sirs, the courts having set this mat
ter at rest, anu the right OF the parish to
collect a license tax on all trades, profess
sions, occupations Or callings, within the
corporate limits Of the town of Donaldson
vile, having been fully recognized and es-
tablished, we earnestly call your attention
to the following facts:
Within the last month or so, we have been
State, the parish, the town and to the Uni
ted States. We are now called upon, by the
18th inst, to pay to the parish two years of
back parish licenses, which as we have
stated had never been exacted from us.
We beg leave to call the attention of your
Hon. body to the staguant condition of
business i'll the town and parish and which
from the present appearances will continue
almost indefinitely, aud to represent that
the enforcement OF such a payment would
force great many of us to suspend bust
ness and would bring distress and suffering
i'll our families.
We therefore most respectfully and
earnestly beg OF your Hon. body to take our
position into considera ton, and in the prem
ises, to afford us the relief which we seek at
your hands, for you, and you alone can
grant it, and that would be to remit to the
merchants of this town in whole or in par t
the licenses due by them to the parish of
Ascension for the years 1880 and 1881.
Respectfully submitted,

The employees of one of our manufac-
turing establishments have asserted their
determination not to strike during the
summer-not even if the heat reaches a
degree equal to that Of certain other
place not necessary to partieularize.
This decision has been rendered perfectly
clear to us from the fact that these en-
ploy6es were seen hard at work day or
two ago, while little colored boys we're
standing near them, tanning away as
hard as their muscles would permit.
Truly, capital aud labor are arm in arm

Right in His Surmise.

One day the editor was visited by a commit
tee of villagers to urge upon him some argu-
ment in favor of new town pump. Being an
amiable man, although it was just his busiest
hour, he asked them to be seated until he had
finished an article he was writing on the appli-
cation of ensiage to green picket fences. While
waiting they all began to tai k to each other at
the very pitch of their voices, until the dis
tracted editor could stand it no longer, when,
wheeling round in his chair he remarked,
with an expression sweetly utter, you'd oblige
me, gentlemen, by conducting your copversa-
tion in a lower tone. There's man sick with
smallpox in the next room, and you might dis
turb him." AS he gathered up the hats, canes
and umbrellas that were left by the committee
in their eager bolt for the fresh air, he said to
himself, quietly: 81 reckon I'm going to be a
success in journalism
