Indulgence Of Children.

A child taught to obey until it is five
years old knows nothing else. 1t Is
not SO easy to begin the lesson at that
age, harder still at eight, and quite out
of the question at twelve. Indulge
your child, say three or four years old,
in all the lite wliims and fancies, give
it everything it wants, especially if it
cries tor it, make yourself, your SER
wants, and your household its slave,
allow it to contradict you, to kick and
scream-these things are wonderfully
cute in a baby; you might make a
show of resistance, but give up always
in the end-then tell your neighbours
of all the child's little sayings and do
iDgs in it's presence, talk them over
frequently, deceive it in little things
which it is too young to understand,
tell it you are not going out and then
slip off. Practice all these harmless
little things upon your child, and al
though it may be endowed with intel
ligence and a naturally sweet DISPOSE
ton, if it does not grow up selfish
and unamiable daughter or willful
and overbearing son, it certainly will
not be your fault.-Detroit Free Press.

T. J. Boasso, of New Orleans, the

commentary on our boosted civilization
that there is no law to reach the higher
crime in this mans case. So long as
this state of affairs exists the shot gun
will continue to be the universal re-
course of injured fathers and brothers.

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT.

Elections were held in fourteen
States on last Tuesday, but in only
two OF them has much interest been
centered, namely New York and Vir-
ginia, as these States were each claim
ed by both Democrats and Republicans.
In the first named David B. Hill has
been elected governor over Ira Daven-
port by about $4,000 majority, while
Virginia elects Gen. Fitzhugh Lee as
her governor, defeating Malone by
clear majority of 10000. Reports from
all quarters show heavy Democratic
gains, while the banner Republican
State, Iowa, shows a great falling Off
pitiful 1000 majority. The Demo-
Gratis have gained nineteen members
of the Legislature in Connecticut alone,
and Republicans are decidedly blue
over the result, which is regarded as a
public endorsement of Democratic
principles, and a corresponding repu-
diation of Republicanism.

The press of our leading cities do
not faithfully report the interest
taken by the general public in legis-
lation, having for it's object the dis
couragement and prohibition Of the
sale Of intoxicating drinks. There
are five States which have general
prohibitory laws, viz, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Iowa, and
Kansas. All of these States have
recently added to the severity of the
restrictions on the liquor traffic. The
legislatures of Rhode Island, Ten
nessee and Oregon are acting on
resolutions submitting prohibitory
constitutional amendments to the
people. Similar resolutions we're
defeated by small majorities in Mis-
souri,, Michigan, Texas, West Virginia
and New Jersey. A general effort is
being made to instruct the children
in the public schools as to the evil
effects of alcoholic stimulants on the
human system. This is the case Of
the schools of Maine, Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania, Alabama, Illinois, Wis
consin, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oregon and Nevada. Every public
school graduate in these States is
being thoroughly posted as to the
physical and moral ills that accom-
pany even moderate drinking. In
other States effort is being made,
with every hope of success. to have
similar teaching. In addition to the
FIVE States that have general laws
prohibiting rum shops, twenty have
legal option laws. permitting the legaa
voters of the municipalities or conn
ties to prohibit or license the sale OF
liquor. Thus in Georgia l04 OF the

A good deal of complaint is made
from parties in this parish who have
been assessed with property they do
not own. The bulk of it comes from
those who were assessed by Deputy
JnO. p. Hadnot. When a man takes
oath as to his possessions neither the
the assessor nor any one else has the
right to tax him with it in spite of his
protestations. If he swears falsely the
only way to reach his case is by a
criminal prosecution. In these cases,
the majority of whom are illiterate
and incapable of protecting themselves
by the revision provided by law, mark
ed injustice has been done and, when
taken in connection with a late dec
laration of the Auditor, it works hard
ship upon innocent parties. The
Auditor holds that corrections must be
made when the rolls are open for re-
vision, and when the rolls are finally
passed on by the board the last and
oily recourse of the taxpayer is in
the courts.

The resources of central and north

as one of great Importance to the peo-
pie living therein. Last week Mr.. F.
H. Tompkins, pleasant and affable
gentleman, who is engaged in getting
up data to publish in book on this
subject, to be distributed at the Expo
sition, called at this Office. He has
received many flattering notices from
the State press as to his ability and
fitness for this work, which it is claim
ed will materially benefit every parish
which secures representation in its
pages. The labor and expense of
publishing the work is considerable,
and the gentleman asks that the vari-
ons parishes contribute something to-
ward defraying the expense. His TRIP
through this parish is TO see the men,
bers of our police jury and enlist their
support, in which he appears to have
been pretty successful, Judging from
the hopeful way he expressed himself.
