We are pleased to learn that the
city authorities, and the people OF
New Orleans, are using their en-.
deavors and best energies to make
the opening day Of the Exposition q
pronounced success. 1t is stated
that should the weather prove favor
able there will, on the 10th instant,
the day Of opening, be such an out
poaring of people on the Exposition
grounds, as was never seen before.
To miss seeing this great wonder of
the world will prove a great loss,
for there never was, and probably
never will be, another opportunity
to witness such an array of i~nstruc-
tive curiositics: It will cost very
little over necessary expenses to 60
to New Orleans and remain ten or
fifteen days, to enjoy a treat that
words fail to express, than to stay
at home, during the same time.

A Terrible Year.

Capt. Delaney, who has been the
accepted weather prophet in France
ever since he predicted the Java
earthquake, has just published his
meteorological almanac for 1886.
and unless he is all wrong in his
calculations next year promises to
be an "annee TERRIBLE" aud that mol.
merely from the meteorological, but
also from the political point of view.
For, according to NJ. Delaney.
there is an Intimate connection be.
tween cosmic aud political disturb.
ances ; a theory sufficiently indicated
in the name ('meteoropsychologyn)
which he has given to this branch of
his science. He confidently pre-
diets several nncommonly destrnc
tive earthquakes in the course Of
next year. Our planets is, he has
ascerta'ned, exceptionally troubled
in this way every twenty eight wears.
and the year 1886 completes one Of
these cycles. He further expects
that Saturn will make US a rresen,
OF a portion of his ring in the shape
OF a comet, which will probably ont
shine the great comet of 1858. The
subterranean disturbance will con.
tinue for some nine months out of the,
twelve. May will he The worst
month Of the twelve, the period Of
maximum perturbation being the
first three days Of that once merry
month.

The Waikup Case.

a special to the Tines Democrat
of the 4th, in the Walkup case, says
lit is not probable a verdict will be
reached tonight, although it is learn
ed from a reliable person who was
in the left gallery, which is imme.
diately over the jury room, that the
first ballot stood ten for acquittal
and two for conviction. The bailiff
in charge Of that gallery, on motto
ing there was a crack in the floor
by which a view Of the jury-room
could be obtained, at once cleared
it, and the door leading to the stair
way was locked up"
A special to the New Orleans
States, of same date, contains the
following: Your correspondent is
on the best of terms with both sides,
and, although be is forced to be OF
the opinion that the lady is guilty,
still, where he one Of the jury, he
would not favor a verdict to tina,
effect, as there is a big doubt in her
favor, and the most assuredly should
have the benefit of it. The general
opinion now is that the jury will be
out some time, and will probably
not agree on a verdict"

Cotton picking in this parish

The latest election news received
are to the effect that the Democrats
have carried the day in New York,
Virginia and Mississippi for govern
or, with gains in other States. The
Democratic gains aud successes are
pronounced to have been won on a
fair and square party fight. This
shows that the sentiments of the
Democracy is growing in vitality
and life, and have not lost in power

Bishop Burier on Education.

Education is more precious than
money--more precious than gold
%Fedacation is the true nobility after
virtue. Education should be intellec-
tual, moral and religious. Give to
your children an intellectual educa.
ton, that is, a good instruction: it
is an ornament to the soul--a power;
knowledge is power. Spare neither
money 0 trouble to give your chill.
dren that ornament, that power.
Your parents who like to see the
physical strength and beauty de-
velop themselves in your children
.Ideveolop in them that Christian cd
ucation which is the strength of
strength, the beauty of heanties.
We want instruction-we want
light AS a Doctor Of the church
has expressed it: We want light,
again light and always light :?
Make of then enlightened citizens
that they may be enlightened
Christians.
"Give yonr children a moral cd.
ucation. The moral education is
the formation of the heart and
character. A good heart and a
good character are essential to the
child. In giving him that. you
give him more than a mountain of
gold: for a mountain of gold is not
worth a good heart. Give him q
heart rich in the love of God. A
noted divine has said: Love Go
and make your way 1t is true,
for those who love God can and
will make their way. Give him a
heart rich in charity-charity for
the poor. When you give to the
poor, let your aims pass through
the hands Of your children
that they may learn to have com
passion for the unfortunate. Give
him a heart rich in purity. thai,
your child hare an adherence Of
.impurity. lmpnrity is the perdi
ton of souls; hell is the punish
ment for impurity. Form his
character rich in light, rich in moral
progress. Our century is poor in
character, and it is that character
in your child which is wanted that
is firm in Justice, immovab!e in duty.
Teach him to understand his soul i
teach him that there is but one lib
erty under the sun, it is the liberty
to be a slave to duty. 1t was the
great Napoleon who said that the
formation of the heart and character
Of the child was the work of the
mother. She forms the heart of her
child after her own. History teach
es that all great men had their char
acter formed after their mother,
Give your children a religious
education. Religion is above all.
for God is above all. AS soon as
the age of reasoning comes. teach
your children to say their prayers ;
teach them to know they have an.
other Father, the One wLo created
them, and who gives them their
daily bread ; and teach them to
know they have another Mother, the
Blessed Virgin, who watches over
them and prays for them.
"A good custom is to pray in COM
mon. The prayer in common %unites
the family. The brothers and sis
tiers that pray together are more
united than those who do not : the
children who pray with their pa.
rents are more attached to their
fathers and mothers. The prayer
IN common penetrates the child with
the Christian faith of the parent"

AN ASSURED SUCCESS.
The North Central and South
American Exposition, which is to
open in New Orleans Nov. 10th, and
continue FIVE months, has progressed
steadily since the work began. Splen
did attractions have been secured
and substantial results attained. The
management composed Of able bnsi
ness men of the Crescent City, have
discarded all clap trap and sensation
alism, in announcing the situation
of affairs and by this straightforward
course, have inspired a confidence
in their statements that has earned
for them respectful and close atten.
ton.
At FIRST there was a natural hesita.
ton on the part Of the States and
Territories Of the United States to
re embark in another Exposition al
New Orleans ; the colossal proper
tons assumed by the Worlds Fair
last year made it appear doubtful
that any set of men however capable,
could organize an exposition that
would in any way equal the original
effort, with its National backing and
all the enthusiasm inspired by the
initial opening at so grand aa enter
prise. 1t was this feeling of uncertain.
ty which the new management had to
remove. They began their selfihpos.
ed task bravely and resolutely, by
making the strongest possible argu-
ment to command the immediate
attention Of the leading men of the
country. This was the presentation
of the Exposition as the medium
through which business relations are
to be established between the United
States aud those other countries bear
ing the name of American, whose
valuable trade is diverted to Euro.
pean channels, by reason Of the lack
of any serious effort to secure it for
the country where it rightfully and
geographically belongs.
The movement having thus been
effectively started, the management
of the American Exposition have
devoted time aud labor to giving
the grand enterprise a diversity OF
important attractions that will CON-
mend it as the grandest Exposition
of modern days. A band Of talented
musicians selected from the best
Northern artists, under the leader
ship Of a brilliant young musician.
will furnish the music daily ; while
the best soloists will play regular
engagements. Foreign bands will
also be engaged. The acoustics of
Music Hall have been improved.
Special days covering interests Of
national, international and local
Importance have been arranged.
Arrangements have been perfected
for fine displays in the Art and
Horticultural buildings. The ventila.
ton Of the Main and Government
Buildings has been secured. In a
word, the gratifying announcement
can be made that the American Ex-
position is now an assured success.

The new oleomargarine law goes into effect
today and on and after this date whoever in
this State manufactures, sells, exposes for
sale, or has in his possession with intent to
sell" butter or cheese not made wholly from
milk, is liable to fine of 800 for the first
offence and 5000 for each subsequent offence.
As a prohibitory statute this rival the liquor
Law in severity, but since the appetite for hog
butter is more restrainable than that for slim.
ulents there is no reason why the law may
not prohibit effectually. There is a great
demand for the product among a certain
class of population and they have been laying
in oleo by the ton. Some of them have
bought enough to last six months. A local
dealer said yesterday noon: 81 am selling
1000 pounds q day. A woman just came in
and bought 90 tubs. The Law will be evaded
without doubt, The forbidden oleo will be
