St Tammany parish is located
twenty-five miles north of New Or

interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with a small amount of capital and
fair supply of industry md perse-

than locatein our parish. Tie eli
mate is as fine as any i'll the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early in February, with blossom
on the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate,
and the .unfailing breezes of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn. rice, peanuts, ETC.
The vine ia Indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears, peach, plulls,
ounces, figs and pecans thrive well
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are led ia

A CAILD'S DEATH.

Special Dispatch TO TIE BEE.
ATLANTIC, Iowa, February 49,
Yesterday morning Mrs. Woolsey
placed some beans over the fire to cook
for dinner, and then left her nine year
old daughter to watch them while she
ran across the street. The girl dis
covered that the beans were dry and
needed water on them, and getting
upon the stove hearth she began pour
Ing water into the kettle, when a
Whit from below set her clothes on
ire. She first tried to put out the
fire. Failing In this, she became
frightened and ran out into the street,
where, Of :er hard work aud a severe
burning, the mother succeeded In put.
ting out the FIRE by rolling the child
in the snow.
DIR. Graham was called, who soon
learned that the child was, perhaps,
fatally burned. This morning fluids 1t

RECKLESS Elk

The legislature is making q bad rec
ord in voting away the peoples money
for objects which will not be approved
by their constituents. 1t Is no use to
disguise the fact. There Is an evident
inclination on the part Of members to
hold their noses In the presence OF
rank jobs and then to declare that
they can smell nothing From pres
emit indications, drafts amounting to a
million and a quarter dollars will be
made upon the state treasury. And
this by a body of men pledged to an
economical expenditure Of the public
moneys.
The members of the legislature
seem to forget that they are merely
representatives Of and trustees for the
people. They are sent to Lincoln to
guard the interests Of their constitu
ents by appropriate legislation and to
block the schemes of jobbers and
tricksters who lnaugurate raids upon
the state treasury at each successive
session. The moment they join hands
with the gang Of wolves who hang
around the Hobbies to further ques-
tionabie schemes of private interest,
they prove themselves ~recresnt to
their trust and traitors to their con-
stituents.
Already the appropriations voted
upon at the present session have ex.
ceeded those Of any previous leglsla.
ture for years. The capital steal
alone calls for $3.50, 900, every dollar
of which will be a useless expenditure
for some years to come. 1t Is opposed
by an overwhelming popular senti.
ment throughout the state. Our peo-
pie are already burdened heavily with
taxes, and the times are not so pros.
porous that any addition can easily be
carried.
The fact Is that the same system of
logrolling that Is increasing tariff tax
alton at Washington Is being employ.
cd at Lincoln to increase the taxes of
the people of Nebraska. Votes are
being snapped In order that every
section Of the state may have q grab
at the treasury pile regardless of the
fact that the taxes will fall upon the
people of Nebraska wherever they
may be located.
1t is time to cry a halt upon this
reckless extravaganza. The senate
should at ono interposs Its authority
to check the Indifference of the house
to the wishes Of their constituents
and the interests of Nebraska tax
payers. There is such q thing as being
governed too much" and the pr esent
legislature Is In a fair way to make our
people know just what the phrase

In the death Of Richaid Wagner
the world has lost Its greatest tone
master since Beethoven. The re-
former Of his age In musical theory,
he fought his way In bitter battle
with the critioa from the day when his
Tannhauser startled the musical world.
No composer has ever engaged In such
successful battle for his pet theories or
lived like Wagner to find them adopt
ed by q large majority Of those who
at first so bitterly opposed them.
Wagner's musical reform embraced
the whole field of concep.
ton and expression. He took
his themes from romances, legends and
popular myths, arranged his libretti
to auit himself, sod 10 his musical
adaptations consulted what he believed
tn be the musical demands of his
themes, neglecting and oven scorning
the popular arts Of melody and song
which delighted the earn Of the lovers
of the French aud Italian schools.
Largely on this account the charge has
been brought against Wagner's music
that it Is unintelligible and destitute of
melody. Some yosrs ago he
wrote as follows In reply to
this accusation: "The n
true form OF music is melody. Music
that has no melody has no inspiration,
no power over the feelings, no origin
ality. But melody is something more
than the fixed and narrow form that
belongs to the childish eye OF musical
art-the darce form. Tho wanderer
In the wood becomes every moment
more distinctly aware Of endlessly'
varied voices audible In the forest.
They grow louder and louder and the
voices, the separate tunes he hears
are 80 many that the whole music
seems to him n grand forest
melody. Yet he cannot hum II
over to herself and to hear 1t again he
must again go to the woods" This,
then, was the central point Of Wag
ner's theory; that the singer must b'
a~ubaervient to the music, and not thu
music to the convenience of the sin
gers; that the theme Of opera shoulC
be poetic. In Its highest, purest ant
deepest sense; that the poetry shoul'
be married to fitting music, vocal an
instrumental, and that the Who'll
should be associated with the convic
lions and sympathiea of humanity.

THE NEW IMPERIAL ALL
ANCE.

IL ID repOrteu tnAt tne tnree emper-
ors of Russia, Germany and Austria
have reconstructed the Kaiserbund,
or Imperial Alliance, and that the
terms are highly satisfactory to all
three of the contracting parties
Nevertheless, It is g very different al
lance, II all indications can be de-
pended on, from the one into which
they entered after the treaty of Ber-
lin. Everything then Was restrictive,
whereas now there is q clearly defined
thread of license running through the
whole negotiation. When the first al
lance was formed Russia's astonishing
success against Turkey had alarmed
both her imperial neighbors, and it
had become necessary to curb her
lest she should absorb Bulgaria or q
slice of Roumelia. Montenegro and
Servia were looking toward Russia as a
friend who would help them to Sc
cure Herzegovina and Bosnia, ard
Austria not only objected to their ag-
grsndizement OF the expense of terri
tory SO close to her borders, but she
equally disliked the tendency of those
priuoipalities towards q Russian ALI
ance. Germany had then, and proba.
bly, has now, no further lust for terri
tory than the desire to retain Alsace
and Lorraine; but she preferred to
hold them by diplomacy rather than
war, and this would be secured to her
by the so.called Triple Alliance. Rus.
sia was weary of war, and needed re-
lief against highlands encroachments
and Turkeys revenge. Thus all three
powers had strong reasons for combin-
Ing against other hostile influences
without going cut of their way to stir
up hostility by land grabbing. They
united to held what they had and to
get rest.
To-day there Is a vastly different
set of conditions. Germany no longer
fears the retaliation Of France. Eng.
land and Turkey have no terrors fol-
Russia. Austria Is on good terms
with all tho world. Germany wishe,
to strengthen her eastern frontier anG
to fortify moro heavily her Balti,
coast. Austria wishes a farther In.
crease of territory in the southeast
both because sheis always land greedy
. and because such an extension woult
please the Hungarians, the least con
tented branch of the empire. Russi,
4 is still dreaming Of the "Big Bull
-, giria," which she mapped out in tn,
treaty of San Stefano, and which sh,
y hopes to see an Independent princi
pality with strong Russian sympsthieu
1t is easy, therefore, to accoun
d for a change In the ground lal

agreement as favorable alike to the

The land ceded to the government
Is estimated at 1000 to Is, 900 square
miles. Its value for stock raising is
beyond question, and many parts will
doubtless prove equally valuable for
