ElC.
st. Tammany parish is located
twenty-five miles north of New Or

is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and is delightfully."- located
On the Eogua Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with small amount of capital and
fair supply of industry and perse-
verance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. Tie eli
mate is as fine as any in 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 unfailipg breezes of the
evening refresh man and beast after
the labors of the day.
TIE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn, rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests of delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears, peach, plums.
ounces. figs and pecans thrive well
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tammany
the stock srowers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased n
rates varying from 81 to SIS per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers

V1JTING TO GET ~.

! The long-drawn contest ut Washington is
! having one good effect il is throwing flood of
! light upon the purposes of the Democratic party.
! The atlanta Constitution, which has been sup.
porting Mr.. Carlisle ON account of his hostility
! to the protective tariff, suddenly throws him
over and gives its voice for Mr.. Randall, on the
! ground that Carlisle and Randall really stand
on the same platform; both say that they do not
wish to touch the tariff Just now; both admit
| that the only way To elect Democratic Prcsl-
dent and Congress is to Jet the tariff alone until
after the campaign and The Constitution seems
to he confident that whenever the Democracy
do get possession of the Government, neither
Mr.. Randall nor anybody else will be able to
save the protective system from destruction.
Ex-senator Gordon, of Georgia, who has written
n letter of adhesion to Mr. Randall, is still more
frank He hope. to sec MIR. Randall elected be-
cause, right or wrong, the impression prevails
" throughout business circles that any radical
"changc in the tariff at present would be detri-
amental to ournational progrc,, andpros pcrity,'
and it will be impossible for the Democratic
party to win in 1854 if the business men dis
trust it. The tariff question therefore, General
Gordon thinks, must be deferred until after
the next Presidential contest"
1t is an instructive Illustration of the faulty
which has long characterized the conduct of the
Democracy that its leaders do not understand
how absurd and how disGracoiul is the position
in which such avowals place them. They are
entertaining public policy for use in the cleo
ton and private policy for use aiterward.
They are trying to keep quiet about their real
intentions, because, as they confess. they arc
well aware that the country will not approve of
them. They are trying to get the Presidency
under false prctcnCcs, and are promising their
own people that as soon "a they secure what
they are after they will throw of the mask
snap their fingers at our business interests, and
start the revolution. They know that they can
not win in 1881 except in disguise.
The immortality of this course is not more re-
malkablc than the prepostcrous OpcnncSs with
which it is recommended and discussed. The
secret purposes of the party. to do after the
election what they dare not talk about before,
are communicated in a stcntOrian stage whisper
audible to all mankind Like the chorus of
policemen in The Pirates of Pcnzancc," they re-
veal Themselves to everybody by shouting "Our
obvious course is now to hide Il il possible
that when General Gordon proposes not to dis
turb business until after the next Presidential
contest and that when the Editor of The Con-
SGmtion recommends Randall for Speaker be-
cause it will not do for the party To make dis
turbance until it gets in, is it possible, we say,
that these gentlemen imagine the business COM
munity does not hear them or doe, not under
stand

Mr. BL1INE on THE WHISKEY TAX.
Concerning Mr.. Banc'S proposition to retain
the whskey tax as a fixed part of our revenue
system, and turn over the proceeds to the sew
eral States, according to population, there are
some things that may at once be said -
1t avoids the main objections to the Pennsyl-
vania plan for general distribution of surplus
revenue.
1t suggests practicable way of reducing the
revenue without upsetting everything again by
fresh tinkering at the tariff.
1t keeps a tax on product which surely
ourht to bear the burdens of taxation as long
as ANYTHING does. at is wiser to tax whiskey
than to tax farms, and hOmesteads and shops"
II raises revenue in the way the statesman
shin of all countries has indirectly
rather than directly. Nobody would feel it but
the man who used the whiskey and he could
afford to.
1t would reduce the tax levy of New York
nearly nine millions.
The objection to it would lie in the alleged
danger from the so-called mixing of National
affairs with State interests and necessities and
in the alleged injustice of letting communities
which nay little or none of the tax share in its
distribution. The letter is-like everything Mr.
Blaine docs-adrot, able, and persuasive A
majority of his countrymcn will probably think
il also statcsmanlike.

tematic and practical almoner which win make
every dollar do full dollars worth Of good.
1t is gratifying to observe that Of the patrons
Of the Children's Aid Society has supplied $4,000
for rebuilding the Eighteenth-st. lodging house.
There are two other lodging houses which require
reconstruction on the same scale. These represent
the society's most pressing needs at present. The
various institutions reported to be in q most
satisfactory state of efficiency, and tho work In
every department is conducted economically owing
to careful or ganization. The Sick Childrens Mis-
sion and the Summer Home at Bath, which was
generously endowed by Mr.. Stone. are among the
newest and most beautiful features of this noble
charity. The older agencies, such as the lodging
houses and the industrial and nght-sch0Ols not
suffered to langush from the introduction of novel
ties The old and the new instrumentalities of
practical benevolence thrive together. Carping
and malicious criticism has not had the effect of
suspendng the emigration operations of the society
--one Of the oldest features of its work. False
charges have been refuted, and an unusually large
number of boys and girls have been transplanted
from the slums of the city to pleasant homes and
useful occupations in the country The more closely
the annual report is studied, the more reasonable
appears the society's claim that the marked dimi-
mutton of yagrancy and crime among the children
of the NewYork poor during the last thirty years
is largely to be attributed to the operations Of this
most successful charity

that the hanging Of an innocent man by vigil
ance committee has very seldom happened.
But in the cases occurring in the Eastern
States the lynchers appear to proceed mainly
upon rumOr and suspicion and prejudice. A
person is arrested OH suspicion of having COM
mitted a murder. There may be no evidence
of serious character against him. But if the
crime was specially revolving one there is apt
to arise a feeling of Indignation which creates
impotence with the slow process OF the law,
and then lynching is talked Of If not resOrted
TO. Now in such cases to hang an accused
person is to commit fresh murder, and it is
none the less murder because number par
ticipate in it. Juries are, no doubt, sometimes
very peryerse, and the plea of insanity has
saved from the gallows many murderers whose
full moral responsibility was apparent. But
modern lynch law does not remedy these evils.
What it does is to take the chance of killing the
innocent. The more this tendency to anticipate
the law is INDUCED, moreover, the more will
society yield to it, until presently the admins
tratiOn OF justice will fall into discredit alto
gether, and the caprice of mObs will decide
questions of life and death habitually. 1t is
evident that an effort should be made to check
this dangerous and demOralizing tendency to
mob law, and if it is impossible to bring such
mObs to account for their misdeeds, an appeal
must be made to the calm judgment and good
sense of American citizens everywhere to pro-
tect their own best interests by discOuntenancing
and cOndcmning these lawless outbreaks.

REMEMBER THE NEEDY.

A Thanksgiving Day given up to merely
| selfish enjoyment would be very wide of its pur
pose; would do more harm than good. The
first evidence of possession of the Thanksgiving
spirit is the rising of a desire to make Others
more happy. The philosophy of the century
teaches that the cultivation of Altruism, as CON
tradistinguished from EgOtism, is the most en-
nobling pursuit to which men can devote them
selves. The employment of national festivals
and holidays in the qualification of scnsuOus APP
petitcs is, on the other hand, distinctly de-
grading. illustrations to Self are narrowing
and de0asing in their tendency There is no
true happiness to be found in that way; no, not
when Lucullus dimes with Luculus. Wealth nor
culture can make EgOtism other than unlOvcly
can enable those who yield to it to derive from
their Sybaritism any but Fictitious pleasures.
The only happiness worth the pursuit-the only
happiness which clcyatcs and expands heart and
mind togcthcr-iS that which comes from sub
ordination of the Ego to the non-Ego. He who
helps others who need help does more for him
self than he possibly could by the most jealous
care for his personal interests.
Christianity and Philosophy 90 hand in
hand on this theme. Both agree that
the first duty of man is not to himself but to
his fellows. Thou shalt love thy ncighbOr as
myself hls been formulated by Herbert Spcn-
Ger rs the conclusion of modern philosophy as
well as the ordinance of Scripture, and wherever
the human mind has made CIeCds for itself, on
tho bank, of the Gangcs and the llydaSpcS, as
on the banks of the Thames and the Hudson,
this primary duty and most exalted sacrifice of
Altrui,m is insisted upon. Let no man think,
therefore, that he has duly observed Thanks
giving unlcs, he can congratulate himself upon
some bcHchccncc accomplished some poor soul
comfortcd, some heavy burden lightcncd, some
dark path chccrcd, some alllictOn assuaged,
some patient suffering rewarded, some de
serving misfortune assisted. SelfiShncSs is the
curse OF the age. We arc all self -absorbed, or
our benciactiOns are narrowed 10 those of or
own household. The liindoO Sanhitas cnjoined
upon all who followed the Nedantic religion tho
daily exercise of charity, and expressly cN-
cludcd from this charity the members of the
family. Let us for once adopt that principle,
and extend relief and help to the stranger to-
DAY. 80 shall the chief justification for this fcs
tlval be- made. So shall the holiday lift up and
refine the spirit of all who celebrate it. So shall
the Thanksgiving incense ascend to Heaven
frdgrantly, and win the approval of that
" Power, not ourselves, that makes for righte-
