! mittees in each parish of Louisiana,
composed of able and patriotic citi-
zens, who viii collect and prepare
exhibits OF the agricultural, min
eral, timber and industrial resources
of the respective parishes, and see
that said exhibits are promptly for
warded; also, that. such exhibits be
invited from the parishes instead Of
subscriptions in money.
3. Organization of auxiliary State
committees, in each and every State
in the Union, large enough in num-
bers to provide for full represen-
tation from the various sections of
each State, with view of securing
contributions and exhibits, and Of
promoting interest in the EXPOSE
tion.on the part of citizens. State
Legislatures, Senators and Con-
gressmen.
i. Organization, if agreeable, Of
representatives of foreign govern
ments at New Orleans into an aux
iliary committee, with view of se-
curing the personal advice and CO.
operation of said representatives,
ard Of facilitating the transmission
of such information touching the
plans and progress of the work as
may best promote exhibits from for
eign countries and secure the at
tendance of their citizens.
Turning from the dead past and
its sud memories, and putting away
recollections of the exhaustive
struggle for economic government,
which SO long retarded her pro-
gress, the South has earnestly en-.
tered the industrial race in friendly
competition with her more fortu-
nate sisters of the North. Home
rule and perfect peace prevail
throughout her borders. Railroads.
factories, leyees, minerals, timber.
immigration, the home. the farm
aud the school-house engross the
thoughts of her people, and her
cities strive IN generous rivalry for
the victories of commerce.
The world is watching our pro-
gress, and waiting, believe, to set
the seal OF its appreciation upon
the earnest effort OF our people for
the regeneration OF u section rich
in agricultural, mineral and timber
resources, and will gladly hail the
day when the South has taken it's
place in line with the marvellous
progress of the North and West.
The Congress of tie United
States has not only declared that it
Is desirable to encourage the cele-
bration OF the ole hundredth ami
versary of the production OF cotton.
but 1t has said that it is desirable
to encourage the celebration of the
one hnndredth anniversary of per-
[ect peace of the United States.
1t now remains for us to prepare
tor u celebration IN which the whole
world can join, and to show to all
hat Southern pluck aud progress
10 not shrink from the task which
has been set for rs by Congress.
md that we joyfully welcome the
invitation to make the chief COM
nercial city of the South the thea
er for grand industrial reunion.
which shall reunite. in fact, the
people of our whole country.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

In regard to the question Of
fences. the Opelousas Courier saws.
1t will readily be perceived that bv
the present system the small far.
mer is paying t. heavy tribute to the
wealthy cattle owner. II we had a
no fence law, or rather fencipo
only for pasturing stock, We would
have ten small farms in cultivation
where we have one now. Whvp
Simply from the fact that a great
many could afford to buy lands. but
could not afford the additional
heavy tax of having to fence in their
lands to protect their crops from
Tom, Dick and Harry's scrub ro-
Mes, cattle, ETC., roaming at large
over the country. The .sfence ta9"
is by far the heaviest tax restino
upon our people.

Land Office, MIR. Riley, one of the
clerks OF that office; has compiled a
statement showing the number If

statement foots up 6S4, GAO acres If

AN ONERCUS TAN.

The press, that power which e1e-
Yates men to Office, who, so soon as
they are elected, forget all about its
services until the next campaign
comes around, has allowed itself,
good pat2reGly, 10 be loaded down
with burdensome postal tax OF
two cents per pound on its circula-
ton. This tax the journalist has
to pay on every copy of his paper,
whether it is addressed to non-pay-
ing subscribers or exchanges. For
merry, the papers sent to exchanges
were free OF this tax, and the sub
scriber, paying or non-pasing, had
the postage to pay.
But the progressive Republican
party found u better way to squeeze
out more money by making the
journalist fork over, ut the mailing
Office, indiscriminatelv, for every
pound of paper mail sent forward.
Some Congressman did bring up
the proposition to free the press OF
this illiberal and burdensome tax,
but they We're outweighed and
squelched by the majority, who
preferred to remove the tax on
bank checks, and articles manufac-
tured by rich corporations, than to
render the press as free as the let
ter and spirit OF our abused Consti-
tuition contemplates.
1t is high time that The press
should speak in its own behalf. 1t
has, too icng, been the free horse"
that ungrateful Congressman, most
ly, ride very frequently unto dea iii.
We suggest to our contempo-
rar,es that it would be eminently
just and proper to remind their
Congressman that they could mani
fest gratitude to the press, for the
boosts they have received gratis. by
working for the repeal of this bur-
dersome tax, at the next session of
Congress.
Let's hear from you, brethren =
Capitol,an advocate.
The postage tax on the circula-
ton OF newspapers is IN outrage
and disgrace to civilization. No
such burden should be placed on
those engaged in the dissemination
OF intelligence, and whose labors
have SO largely contributed to the
present prosperity of this great and
growing country. Next to the
Bible, the newspaper is the great
est aid to the advancement of So
ciety and one of the main stays Of
the entire social fabric. This Tux
Is relic Of the dark ages" and
our Representatives in Congress
should have it abolished at TIE |
earliest possible moment. It is an
blotch on the fair brow
Of Liberty, and denotes a tendency
to groveling inpecuniosity uuwor-
thy of this enlightened age. Let
The edict so forth. this disgraceful
lax must be abolished!

The Three Wishes.

A gentleman while sitting at the
dinner table with his family, had these
words said to him by his son, lad Of
eleven years: Father, | have been
thinking, if | could have one single
wish of mine, what | would choose.
ITO give you better chance" said
the father, suppose the allowance be
increased to three wishes, what would
they be? Be careful, Charley
He made MS choice thoughtfully ;
first, of good character, second. OF
good health, and third, of u good edu'
cation.

What an Egg Will Do.

For burns and scalds nothing is more
sonthing than the white Of an egg,
which may be poured over the would.
1t is softer as a varpish for a burn than
collodiou, and being always at hand;
can be applied. 1t salso more cooling
than the sweet oil and cotton which
was formerly supposed to be the
surest application to allay, the smarting
pain, 1t is the contaetowith, the air
which gives the extreme discomfort ex-
perieuced from the ordinary accident
OF this kind. and anything that exclude
the air and prevents inflammation is the
thing to be at once applied.
The egg is considered one of the best
of remedies for dysentery. Beaten up
slightly, with or without sugar, and
swallowed at gulp, il tends, by its
emOllient qualities, to lessen the inAa>
nation of the stomach and intestines
and, by forming transient coating on
these organs, to enable nature to re-
sumo her healthful sway over a diseased
body. Two, or at most three eggs per
day would be all that is required in
ordinary cases; and since egg is not
merely medicine, but food as well, the
lighter the diet otherwise and the
quieter the patient is kept, the more
certain and rapid is the recovery.
