The General Assembly can boa

The General Assembly can boast
Of their work during the past
week. 1t has given the long wish
ed for charter to New Orleans,
and the Revenue bill, the back
bone Of all legislation, is before the
Senate Committee. The Appro.
priation bill has been reported
and printed, and will come up for
action next Monday. Besides
these bills a great deal of head.
way has been made in miscellan-
eous legislation. The past weeks
work makes it a certainly, almost,
that the Legislature will make a
clean sweep Of every measure of
importance it had to deal with, by
the end Of its sixty days session.
The fear that an extra session
would be necessary is entirely
dispelled. So much for legislation

Mr.. Richet a french publicist is
calling the attention Of Europe, to
the dangers which menace it from
the phenomenal growth of the
United States in population and
wealth. He declares that, if the
rapid multiplication in population
and power goes on in fifty years,
perhaps at the beginning of the
next century, the United States
will be in a position to crush Fu-
rope by its commerce, agriculture,
industry, if not by its army and
navy. What prospects ayowed
for our people.

It is said the Goatherd threw and

the Goat not to tell his master. "Oh !!

story, though I should not utter a

Our friend J. s. Nnnez, is going
to put up a sugar mill Of considera-
lie size at Cow Island. This will
excite and encourage the culture
of cane in that section Of country.
The cane there, seems to be as
promising as in any other part Of
the country the lands are as
good and requires only the will
and vim to cultivate properly.
We wish him success.
