The good people in the Black
Bayou ncighborhood in Caldwell
parish were building a bridge across
that stream when the work was sud.
denly stopped by the destruction by
fire of the timbers. They are very
angry and the editor of the Watch
man thus expresses himself concern
ing the affair
The framing Ct the timbcrs for
the bridge had been completed and
everything ready for erecting. when
some mean, low down fiend in hu-
man form went their under cover OF
night, piled the thinkers together and
burned it. The person who did it
is unworthy to be called a man or a
gentleman, is lower down than a
dog, has a disposition as vile as an
adder, is utterly devoid of every
sense of honor or social duty and
deserves the execratioh of every
honorable mind.

Tbe" system carried out in Vienna
for educating girls is certainly
worthy of notice. They are kept
at their studies until they are fifteen
years Of age. They then 60 through
a course Of teaching in the pantry
and the kitchen under some member
Of the family, or sometimes under
trained cooks, for a year or two
years. Thus they learn to do every.
thing themselves, and to know the
value of things long before they
commence house keeping on their
own account : and though they may
never be required to cook dinner:
they become independent of cooks
and servants. The Austrian women
are most aTectionate wives and

and learned as any English COVER
ness, are as witty in society as a
Partisan, and are some of tie most

The Situation.

In regard to politics, he thought
there was little to be said that has
not already been published. He
thought the political situation very
satisfactory. The President has
the confidence Of the great masses
of the American people, who be
lieve he means to administer the
government for the best interests
Of the country and according to law.
He thought this fact was recognize
ed by all save the politicians and
self seekers. The great body Of
the people want an honest admins.
tration Of the government and peace
and quiet throughout the country,
and they are not interested in any
schemes which individuals may be
pushing for their personal interests,
and he thinks all they dcsire will
be realized in the present admins
tration.
He had devoted some time and
attention in seeking to bring the
great agricultural interests of the
South before the country, and he
INDUCES hopes that sugar and rice
will have some fair recognition,
and that the necessity to the i'm.
provement, for the uses Of com
merce, of the great Western rivers
will meet with deserved favor a,
the hands of Congress.
Mr.. Gay had found generally in
the West a very favorable feeling
towards the new American Exposi'

lance Of extending the trade real.
tons between the United States
and the countries to the South, and
understand the Importance of bring
ing all the parties interested to

ed to do.
Mr. Gay took great comfort in
the excellent condition of the crops
Of the great Southern slopes, and he
