Many country boys and young men
flock TO the great centres of population,
thinking that the golden opportunity of
life is chance to enter business In large
city, when the truth is that country BOYS
who come to the cities are pretty sure to
wear away the best Of their lives before
they realize that they would have sue
ceeded much better had they remained at
home. There are hundreds Of unem-
ployed young men in New Orleans who
can testify to this. The following Bit of
advice from the Nashville American. ia

THE POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT.

by common consent it is agreed
that the fall elections i'm New Yorl
Ohio and Virginia will test tht
question Of approval or dlsappro.
val of the Presidents policy by
the people. Ii with the President
if we but hold our own, the new
policy will be shown to have had
slight influence with the mass of
Democrats; il we lose decidedly,
the Presidents course will he
sternly rebuked.
During the past few weeks there
have been sufficient changes In the
personnel of the government to
hold out to us a hope that Cleye-
land designs this to be Democra-
tic administration. Louisiana has
been specially favored, and We are
ridding ourselves Of the ruthless
horde, long disIodged from their
state fortress that has lived and
even waxed fat and saucy on fed
eral patronage. The persistence
of the true representatives of the
best elements of the State has had
much to do with this satisfactory
outcome. They have watched the
interests of their constituents
closely and carefully, and to their
energy and influence is due the
guillotining of the obnoxious set,
now happily retired to the rear.
1t cannot be concealed that the
policy of the President has met
With much bitter antagonlsm from
within the party. While all have
his honesty of purpose,
md his rigid adherence to what he
believed to be right, the expedlen-
y Of his policy has been a matter
# serious doubt.
We have shared this doubt. Inl

Frcm Oar Exchanges,

Shreveport Times: A few nights
since two eolored ladies, Henrietta
Wilson and Elizabeth met in lane
near Shady Grove. They were on
their way to church. Few words
were spoken, and these, it is said,
are not found In Chesterfield's d's vo-
cabulury. During the converse
tion Henrietta Wilson made an as
sault on Elizabeth with a pistol
and knife and cut her ear ssclean
off, The irate and disconcolate
Elizabeth has appealed to Judge
Carter for legal balm and has pre-
ferred charges against Henrietta
for assault and battery with intent
to kill. LII this case is heard to-day
it will Jast for several hours as
there are nearly a legion of wit
nesses for and against the accused.
The Judge should provide extra
seats, fans and ice water, for the
accommodation of gentlemen, who
may wish to watch the progress of
this case.
In accordance with instruction
OF the United States geological
survey, of which j. W. Powell is
director, and Professor Lawrence
Johnson viii make thorough ge-
illogical examination of the iron
ores and their extent in North
west Louisiana. Prof. johnson
will arrive here probably next
week, and will make Shreveport
his headquarters. The object of
the reconnaissance is simply to de-
termine the richness of the iron
ores reported to exist, to collect
data and all information pertain
ing to iron ores in a general way.
Mr.. n. G. Blanchard, the energet-
ic representative in Congress from
this district, has manifested great
interest In this important subject,
and will exert himself to the full
est extent to secure the greatest
results in the work now initiated
whichpromises the most flattering
success.

MUCH NEEDED.

All through the Northern and Eas.-
ern and Western States arc thriving
little towns and young cities. Neat
littlo homes, regular streets and hand.
some pavements characterize them.
This Is not the case, as q rule, in the
South. Here we find small cities and
towns Of 1000 to 5000 inhabitants scat.
tered about generally, but they boar
the appearance of haste In construc.
ton, and most OF the tenements
seemingly but "mske-shiits" until
the jewellers therein shall pull up and
emigrato somewhere else. The reason
of this popularity is to DO found in the
fact that we devote ourselves too much
to the purely commercial. In the more
Northern latitudes manufacturing has
the call. There the men, the women
and the children can all find employ.
ment which they can not do where
mercantile houses almost exclusively
obtain. With their earnings in these
factories each member Of the family
seeks the founding of homo. And
thus IL is there is the character of per-
manoncy, Of hxity to the vicinage.
OF only very late years has the South
begun to copy this feature, tho Az.
lantic States first setting tho example.
A conspicuous instance ia furn-
ished by the little town OF
Salem, North Carolina. There
we find series OF manufacturing en-
terprises, which, for general variety
aud superior thrlftiness, cannot DO OK.
