THE Lake Charles Echo will enter
upon its fourteenth year of usefulness
next Saturday. Wonder if the Adver-
tiscr will be as big when it is as old.
Reading the Echo and scanning its well
filled columns of local advertisements
has impressed us very favorably with
Lake Charles, her business and her
business men. If we were to take
advantage of a free ride sometime
when business will permit to see that
section of our State, will Bro. Bryan
give us the loan of his presided and
blanket for night p Algiers (La.)
Advertiser.
The Advertiser has our very best
wishes in its efforts to increase in
size and interest, and we hope long
before it is fourteen years old il
will equal, if not excel, the Echo
Yes, Bro. Jackson, we will not only
furnish You "the loan " of our "press.
bed and blanket for night" but will
do what we can to show you as attrac
tive a section of our State as yor
have ever seen.

The BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY
The report Of the business failures of
1891 is worth noting because it indir
Gates that we are still on the plane of
safe credits. The business of the
country has increased SO heavily in
volume that the gross amount of fail
ures and liabilities is no gauge in itself
to Judge business activity, and to get
at a basis of comparison the failures
must be taken in connection with the
volume of business. In such com
parison, the past year makes no good
showing. In 1878, when the country
was just starting on its recovery from
the hard times, the failures were one
in sixty-foui; in 1879, one in every
lo5; in 1880, one in every 1853; in
1881, one in every l48. This showing
is slightly nnfavorable compared with
1880, but the past year has been one
OF tremendous speculation, and the
money exchanges from week to week
have shown that, while business has
been remarkably active, there has been
much reason to regret the prevalence
Of wild speculation, and this had no
small influence on the list of failures.
The conclusion is inevitable that, in
legitimate business, the past year has
kept safe pace with that Of 1880.

Mexico.

| Mexico.
Correspondence Of the Tradesman.
DALLAS, TEXAS, Jan. %, 1882.
For the young men who earnestly
desire TO put their "shoulders to the
Wheel" what field is about to be
opened up in Mexico, by the railroad
under course of construction. lntelli-
gent, energetic Americans, those who
speak Spanish, can readily find lucra-
tive employment there even now. All
the traders do we'll; another of the
many inducements to make our young
men more practical, is here presented.
Except in the section nearest the
United States. agricultural labor saving
machines are almost unknown. In the
interior and vicinity of the City of
Mexico, the cultivation of the land Is
conducted in so primative a style, as
to excite the risibles of those totally
unaccustomed to such methods. They
plough with what looks to us like a
stick, the women cut the wheat with a
crooked knife called machcte, while
donkeys, dogs, women and children,
whole families, individually and col
lectiYely, tramp it out with their
feet. A fortune is yet to be made by
some enterprising individual by the
introduction of agricultural nipple
ments. A nir. K, of Dallas, who
has been in the City of Mexico two
years, is rapidly growing rich by the
manufacture of furniture. The only
difficulty he experiences, being in OBJ
tanning steady laborers. The lower
class there are proverbially lazy and
improyident, very few seem to have a
local habitation, or any visible means
of support. They generally hang
around the streets during the day,
summing themselves like lizards, and
retire to rest at night on the naked
rocks, men, women and children hud-
died together for warmth.
The climate of the City of Mexico
is somewhat trying to foreigners at
this season. When the sun goes down,
the thermometer goes with it almost
to freezing point. IL is quite damp,
and as the houses arc indifferently
heated, it is difficult to keep warm
even with overcoats. There is but one
American store in the city, and that
was introduced by a gentleman from
Dallas. Another enterprising man is
wanted to warm up the people, and
make business for the "Fire Insur-
ance" companies. 1t is said but one
house has been consumed there by fire
in the last fifty years. We will change
all of that with our modern innova-
tions. Even while there is much to
encourage our young men TO go to
Mexico, those who are seeking soft
places, priding themselves on blue
blood, aristocracy, etc, we would adj
wise to stay at home. That country,
like ours, is full to oyerfiowing with
such. What they want is, men of in
dustry and intelligence, who are willing
and able to work. MORE ANON.

Chattanooga Tradesman: The ex-
odus from northwestern counties of
South Carolina has taken rather Gu
rious direction. Heretofore it has been
directed to the fresh fields and pas
lures new Of Arkansaw. Now the ex-
odustors have turned their faces to-
ward the rising sun, and are tlocking
into Beaufort aud other seaboard
counties, not less than 1000 having
already arrived in Beaufort alone from
Edgcfeld, and still they como by rail,
on foot and in wagons. This shows
that politics is small factor in the
discomfort that produces the move
ment, and pretty surely points to the
real difficulties: Worn out lands and
the white mans disposition to take
advantage Of his weaker neighbor in
all the transactions connected with the
routine called making D living

WOMEN VoTERs IN MASSACHUSETTS
In 1879 the Massachusetts, Legislature
passed an act allowing women to vote
for school officers, after the proper
registration. In Boston that year 989
registered and 034 voted. In 1880,
7T2 registered and 683 voted, and in
1881, 74s registered, and GAO voted.
Considering that there are more than
10000 women of full age in that city,
the number entitled to register ayailing
themselves Of the privilege was lament
ably small in the first instance. This
might have been accounted for by the
innovation upon long standing customs,
but as the novelty wore off there
should have been an increase 10 the
number of women offering to vote
The contrary is the fact. Not only
has the registration fallen off, but the
percentage of those voting to those
registered has likewise decreased

One of the most conspicuous objects
in certain circles of society at the
present is the "Don'-you-know" young
man. He ranks along with the youth
who carries his coat on bis arm and
smokes cigarettes on back platform
of street cars. If you meet him in
the morning he greets you by remark
ing: "1his is fine day, don't you
know" His last salutation at night
is to the effect that lie wishes you ga
good evening, don't you" He goes
out just before noon, and tells his
broker to "buy me some Wabash, don't
you know" 1t matters not where he
goes, his "don't-you4know" goes with
him. He beams down upon his part
ner at the ball, and as he places his
arms around the butterfy's waist, re-
marks: u am very fond of dancing,
don't you know" lie bows graciously
to his friend in the pew behind him
after service is over on Sunday, and
| thinks the sermon was rather tedious,
don't you know" When his fond
parents conclude it is about time he
honors society and some millionaire
daughter by getting married, he broach-
es the matter to the girl in question by
informing her that II love you, don't
you know" Everybody knows him
by his "don't you know and those
who are sensible of the ludicrous, al
well as ridiculous, have his expression
for by-word and get lots of fun out
of him. But he is oblivious to it all
lie deems his phrase very neat and
very fashionable. and would not drcr
it "for the world, don't you know
So he dons his stitched7bac gloves

We NOTICE in the New Orleans
Picayune, of the 18th instant, re-
view of the life of Mrs. Margaret
Haughery, and record of her death.
She certainly has spent useful life,
and well improved the talents entrusted
to her use. The poor and needy of
New Orleans will surely miss her min
istIations of mercy, but in missing
them they will also have cause to cher
ish her memory for the many kind
Offices done for them. The history of
her life exempliiies the great amount of
real, lasting good, determined, kind
hearted Christian woman can accom-
plish for mankind. Women are often
spoken Of as weak, but that so-called
weakness, when properly directed, has
done more to alleviate the real suffer
ings of the human race than the boast
ed strength Of the would-be "loras
of creation"

The Memphis Appeal says that a
young farmer, Of Shelby county, Tenn,
named May, has been successful in the
manufacture of ensilage, a species of
food for cattle that in winter takes the
place of the clover of summer, and is
more nutritious. The method adopted
by Mr.. May was simply to cut the pea
vine down, chop it, and press it into a
pit forty feet long, ten feet broad and
ten feet deep. In this pit he made
fifty tons Of cnsilage, with which he
proposes to fatten sixteen head of
cattle for three months. The best
stock raisers recommend it, and prac-
tical farmers in the West are loud in
its praise.

Speak not harshly--much of care
Every human heart must bear;
Enough of shadows darkly lie
Yelled within the sunniesa eye.
BY thy childhood's gushing tears,
BY thy griefs of after years
BY the anguish thou dost know,
Add not to another's woe.
Speak not harshly, much OF sin
Dwelleth every heart within
In its closely covered cells
Many a Maynard passion dwells.
BY the many hours misspent,
By the gifts to errors lent.
BY the wrong thou didst not shun,
BY the good thou hast not done,
With lenient spirit scan
The weakness Of thy fellow man.

An interesting discovery is reported
from Pola, the chief naval station of
the Austrian empire aud formerly a
station of the Roman fleet. Near the
huge anlphitheater, only second to the
Coliseum in size and massiveness Of
construction, some workmen were late
" engaged in digging an ice cellar for
the use of the squadron and the naval
arsenal, when, at about yards depth
from the surface, they came upon a
statue nine feet three inches in height,
representing a Roman Emperor, and
in state of almost perfect preserva-
ton. This cffigy, executed in Grecian
marble of the finest quality, is stated
to be the most beautiful and highly
finished efigy of its kind in existence.
1t has not as yet been recognized as
the portrait of any particular Emperor,
but would appear to be rather an ideal
or typical presentment Of the Roman
Caesar. 1t is supposed that this noble
statue originally adorned one Of the
inches of the vestibule belonging to
the theatcr built by Augustus Caesar
in honor of his daughter, Julia, and
bearing her name.

plain. He was not the republican
