Editor st. Tammany FARMER;
The election of municipal officers
OF this town took place last Mon
day, the 14th inst. There were two
tickets in the field, and the friends
and supporters of each ticket were
equally sanguine. The voting com.
menced early and was carried on
with much spirit, but it was soon
evident that the Fontini ticket was
ahead. The latter kept It's place
easily and came in beautifully on
tue home stretch. The Owens
ticket was distanced. The tickets
We're composed as follows:
Alfred Fontini, Mayor; Jno. A.

dermen.
DR.. Givens, Mayor; - Selac,
Geo. Norman, Theo. Vefret, -
Cnardon, - -, Aldermen. I
After counting the tickets, it was
found that the vote stood as fol-
lows:
Fontini, 81; Owens, 10.
A curious feature of the Owens
ticket was that it contained the
lanes two non-residents.
After the result was declared. the

Mr.. Curant is thorough master
of his art. In his hands his instru-
ment recites r-ost beautifully what
has been so fly termed poetry
without words, and equals-some
say surpasses-the richest melodies
OF the human voice. His violin
sings if he does not, and all who
hear it are more than charmed by
It's enchanting tones.
The vocal part of the concert is
also worthy of particular note, as
some of the first amateur singers of
New Orleans will kindly contribute
their talent, in order to insure the |
success of the enterprise. Several

EducatIon by Work.

To the Editor of the Journal AND CoURIER:
Not many years ago young man set about
learning one of the more intricate trades, one
which required considerable patience and
skill Some slight ridicule from others at
his awkward attempts served only to stir his
zeal, and in less than a year he was doing
good work. He had never before fully real
lied how much education, of the most valua-
BILE kind, may be derived from ones work.
He began to learn that real education trains
as well as instructs, that we know better
what we are trained to do than what we are
taught about. He saw that If student is
trained to think. he should be better able to
think than one who has merely been taught
about thinking. Or, if one has been trained
to row boats and play baseball, he should be
better able to do these things than one who
has merely been told about rowing boats and
playing baseball. And he afterward learned that
true education is training of the whole ma
ture of man, not q mere instruction of the
intellect. No instruction or training of the
mind only can make wholesome men and wo-
men. And a society in which labor of any
useful kind is held in contempt is near its
ruin; for no instruction can take the place
of education by labor. Work trains the
morals and manners as well as the thoughts !;
| for carelessness and wrong-doing ar followed
generally by their natural resui&s-results

Although little has been said about it late-
ly, the scheme for tunneling the British Chan
mel has not been abandoned Indeed it is
being SO vigorously, and as it appears so
successfully, prosecuted, that the English
public has taken the ALARM and agitation
against the project is assuming political
form. 1t is even said that the tunnel has
been made the subject of Cabinet debate,
and that most of the Ministers are opposed
to it. This opposition is based upon the
alleged facilities which the tunnel would af-
ford the French in case they wished to in
wade the island.
