AMERICANS AND THEIR H1BJrS

A Philadelphia journal calls attention to the
fact as significant that for five days of last
week that city gave itself up to universal
holiday, and that the people contrived to
amuse themselves without firing crackers or
pistols and without getting drunk. The fact
that the largest manufacturing city in the
world, a town exceptionally devoted to trade,
would and actually did give itself up for nearly
week to merry making, is to our mind still
more significant.
All these things are indications of a whole
some natural desire to make life something
else than the perpetual grind which 1t is TO too

them all. Ii was an unucky day for him when
he first began to indulge in financial operations
with France. The loan which he negotiated in
Paris in 1865 gave the French grip on his
affairs that they have been tightening ever since.

N politics
The yachting season which closed yesterday
with the regatta of the Seawanhaka Club has
been a fair success. The races of the last three
DAYS have been to test the relative merits of
cutters and slOops. They have shown pretty
conclusi vey the superiority of large we'll
built slOOps Of the American pattern over cut
tiers of the same size constructed after Euro
pean models. But it also appears that a
small cutter is probably always a faster boat
than a small sloop. The Seawanhaka yachts
men deserve a word of praise for the pluck
which they show i'll having regattas at this
time of year. In September and October there
are winds that are more than lady's breeze
and give the sailors a chance TO show real
seamanship.
There is reason TO hope that this city has
seen the last of six-days walking matches, for
q long time at least. The contest just ended 10
Madison Square Garden failed to rouse much
interest or to bring in much money, notwith
standing that the contestants were champions.
The retirement of the best men early in the
week, the fact that no public betting was
allowed, and the winners great lead during
the last two days, are some of the causes of
this encouraging result. The managers ought
to have made better arrangements. Fitzger-

one else, limps of with about three thousand
dollars the other poor creatures have their

EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
We had q fine rain Saturday evening,
10th inst, but it was not badly needed.
The corn crop was never better at this
season in this vicinity; but above here,
in Rapides, / learn that crops of all
sorts are only moderate. The cotton.
taking this section of country for sew
eral miles around, is doing excellently
growing fine and strong. The few
oats sown have been harvested. Oar
planters sow only small patches of oats.
1t is strange that they don't sow large
fields of them. The land should be we'll
drained to make sure crop.
A new bridge will soon span Bayou
B@uf at Tiger Bend. The bridge tim
bers are being sawed at Stnart's mill.
The parish of Avoyelles so learn, has
this bridge constructed.
Col. A. M. Haas has just purchased
$50 600 feet of lumber from the Stuart
mill. Lots are selling Like hot cakes"
at the new town of BuRkievile, the
first station south of Cheneyville on the
N. o. Pacific Railroad.
There are neither churches nor school
houses IN this itimediate vicinity
Where ignorance is bliss tits folly to
be WISE" So we are about as happy
as those surrounded with churches and
schools. Yours, ILLINOIS.
