The Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit met in the parish of
st. Bernard, on the 9th of March.
Judge Blake took the oath of office,
and Judge Dumartrait was absent,
on account of sickness. There be-
ing no other business. the Court
adjourned. This is pretty fair
specimen of the proceedings of the
Circuit Courts throughout the
State. They are certainly not very
useful, and would be just as orna-
mental on the ''shelf" rs on the
bench. The Judges are doubtless
all able and honorable gentlemen,
and we have heard of no objection
to any of them; bnt the sooner this
"Circus Court" business is abolish
ed, the better it will be. The State
cannot get along now without going
in debt several hundred thousand
dollars every year, and it would
Move just as smoothly, judiclally
speaking, without this fifth wheel
as with it.

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR A HEIFER.

Mr.. Hangen. who prides himself
on his knowledge of the language
of "Fadeslaad," was sitting in Mr..
Heintz's store the other day, read
ing copy of the German Gazette
when he suddenly exclaimed:
Charlie. here's man up in Chi
cago who has just given $50, 600 Tor
heifer. That's the biggest price l
ever heard of being paid COR calf
Charlie looked at the paper a mo-
ment and then said: "Why, l
thought you could read German.
That word, "Kinderheimath," don't
mean "calf." it means Orphans
Home. The man gave $4,000 to
the Orphans Home" Hangen
looked at it again, and acknowl-
edged that he had made a mistake
in reading Kinder" instead OF
"Kinder" -heimath. And then all
present proceeded to "wet the
calf" at Hangen's expense.

port of the Grand Jury, aud the

A number of New Orleans gen
tlemen have formed an association
styled "The New Orleans and
Shreveport Charitable Lottery
Company" and give notice that
they will petition the General As
sembly for license. While we are
opposed to lotteries in general, we
see no reason why one concern
should have a monopoly OF the
business. If the company COM
plies with the conditions set forth
in the Constitution, and donates"
$4,000 per year to the State for
charitable purposes. they will no
doubt receive a charter and license
to carry on the business. at least
until 1895, after which time the
law says all lotteries shall be pro-
hibited in this State.

What We would like to know is,
about how much will the State be
entitled to, per year. for the use of
this valuable machinery? Is the
cotton factory included in the con-
tract with the present lessees OF
the Penitentiary? Is their lease
for an indefinite period? If not,
when will it expire? How much dc
they pay the State per year? dc
they pay up in cash, tie same as tht
Lottery Company, or in deprecated
variants? Perhaps the officia
journal can enlighten us upon these
matters?

crippled, and local option will be

to secure favorable returns. In
Kansas the prohibition policy is
gaining ground, and is ingrafted in
the state constitution. 10 Minneso-

taxed so heavily that they are inclinN
ed to be sober minded, and abstain
from the sale of stimulants. In Ne
