incorrect statements of facts. But whore
such unintentional injustice is done, the
party criticised, il really honorable, is salts
fed with an explicit correction by the pa Der,
and the latter, IL convinced OF error. is apt to
make the amende honorable. But there is
class Of adventurers in every city with q
reputation to lose or TO amend, who are on
the Lookout for the hazard Ct a libel suit,
hoping, perchance, to cola a few d1ilars for
alleged damage to character.
For over two weeks a suit has been on trial
in the Circait Court IN which $4,000 dam
ages was demanded OF the Sentinel. The
cAse went to the jury on Friday afternoon.
and on yesterday the jury having failed t.
agree, the Cour. declared a mistrial. The
jury is said to have stood eight for the de-

A REVOLUTION AT HARVARD.

The educational heresies advocated by
Charles Francis Adams in his famous Phi

have been partially adopted by Harvard
College. The faculty have recently made

lions for admission, and have made it po ssh

This action is the outcome Of bitter fight
in the faculty which has been going on for a
wear psst, and is q victory for President Eliot
and suhordinates, who believe more or less
in the ideas advanced by Mr.. Adams, Pro-
lessor Youmans, of New York. and other
enemies of the dead languages The liberals
of the faculty wanted the entrance examina-
ton in the classics made wholly optional.
The conservatives resisted, and consequently

Now Rev. FATHER LoNERGAN, Montreal
priest, has from his pulpit denounced to-
bogganing as moral ruin to the young men
and women who engaged in that sport. If
the reverends who see perdition in every
popular amusement would put their brains
together and invent for young people some
attractive and enjoyable recreation, minus
the element for evil, they would do mora to-
ward discourae1ng the devil than they can
through all their pulpit denunciations.

The Ascension Democrat also
comes out in opposition to the clos
ing of Bayou Lafourche at Donald
sonville. Now, we will merely
state to our able contemporaries at
Napoleonville and Donaldsonville
that We have advocated the clean
ing out of Bayou Lafourche below
L0ckport SO AZ to give an outlet for
the water equal to the inlet from
the river, for the last Is years, and
have never heard a word from them
on the subject.
All that has been obtained is the
removal of 4 few snags, that has
improved the navigation, bnt has
done no good in preventing creva

Now the stream is 80 greatly oh
structed that an overflow is an alb
solntely certain result of a moder
ately high river, and the question
for Us here is to decide, whether it
would be better to be annually in
undated or have the stream closed.
If the stream could be cleaned out
below, most certainly we favor that
il preference to all others.
Something must be done to save
our Parish from ruin. What shall
