We learn from leading member of

We learn from leading member of
the lower House of the State Legisla-
ture, that an effort will be made to in
crease the funds for public school pur-
poses, by allowing parishes to raise
money to be spent in the parish for it's
own schools. This plan is in operation
in many states with excellent results.
Inasmuch as foreign socialists are at
tempting to revolutionize society and
the government itself, it is time our
people awoke to the fact, that to have
an honest government. we must have
honest and intelligent citizens. These
citizens must be made in the public
schools, for the great majority cannot
seek higher education. More money
will give us better teachers, better
teachers give us better scholars, Uerb

Some time last winter negro named
Williams, took bis pistol in hand,
walked over to an adjacent neighbor,
in tile quarters of the Waverly Planta-
ton in this parish, and fired a bullet
into the body of another negro, who
was sitting on his gallery
For this Williams was arrested, put
in Jail, kept there until conrt met at the
beginning of last month, when he was
tried, found guilty, and sentenced to
the Parish Prison for two years. Now
who is punished in this case? Is it
this man who will remain in Jail, have
plenty to eat, and be relieved of all toll
or concern, or is it the tax payers who
will have to pay bills for all this, to an
amount of not less than $4,000.
The Judge, NO doubt, followed the
law, and as the crime merited punish
ment, he could not do otherwise, as it is
not deemed penitentiary otfense, I'M
der the laws of this State, for man to
amuse himself, practicing the use of
pistols upon his neighbor, as a target.
Cannot our legislators contrive some
method of Furnishing men who commit
such crimes and offenses without pun
ishing the tax payers, unnecessarily I
IL they can, the opportunity is now
presented, whilst the Legislature is in
session.
The criminal expenses that tax payers
must pay are preventing the people,
from making any Improvements that
they may desire to accomplish. and

Attempt at Suicide.

Susie White, siren of mahogany
hue, residing on Conway street, near
Railroad Avenue, suffering "the pangs
of despised love- and wear of the
paths Of sin that led only in the ways
of sorrow. last Tuesday evening sought
her "quietus to make with an ounce
of laudanum. As usual in such cases,
she took an overdose, aud as soon as
her condition was discovered, Il physl-
clan was summoned, who, after some
difficulty, revived the wouldbe suicide,
who seemed to be glad enough to re-
turn from her venture towards the I'M
discovered country and resume the
vanities Of this wicked world.
1t seems that the cause which lmme-
diately led to the insane attempt was
of the most tritling character. She
wanted to go to Piaquemine and was
forbidden so she concluded, out of
spite, to die-and go somewhere else.

Lead POISONING.

A writer in the St. Lcllis Globe Demo.
crat says of lead-poisoning:
The commonest of all the poisons which
are accidentally taken into the human
system is lead. This metal is used SO
freely and constantly in every civilized
community that the only really remark
able think about lead poisoning is its
rarity. Still as before stated, it is the
commonest poison to produce decidedly
deleterious effect. Pure lead is not poi
sonous, but it enters into many chemical
combinations with facility, and all Of
these which can be dissolved in water or
digestive juices are poisonous. Fortu-
nately, some of the commonest lead salts
are insoluble in ordinary drinking water.
It is also fortunate that such waters are
not very pure, otherwise tho lead would
be more easily dissolved and taken into
the system. The lime in ordinary "hard"
water forms with the lead hard, inso-
luble coating upon the inside Of lead
pipes that effectually prevents the lead
tlissolvirg. If the water flowing through
pipes be extremely pure, like that from
the Denver artesian wells, or if it have
plenty of carbonic acid gas in it, as that
from soda fountains, lead and its ordinary
salts are readily dissolved in it. Conse
quently, lead pipes should never be used
when such waters for drinking purposes
have to flow through them. Rain water
is free from lime, hence the same eau
ton about the use of lead pipes applies
to cisterns unless the reservoir is lined
with lime cement. If water of moro
than average purity has remained in lead
pipes over night it is apt to con-
tain considerable of the metal. Hence
people who drink much of acoholic
liquors in the evening are apt to drink
freely of water from the hydrant in the
morning to satisfy the intense thirst due
to overnight potations. Consequently
drunkards are liable to lead-pois-
oning to greater extent than
the abstainers, and this from an
unsupported source. The pipes in
soda fountains should be lined with tin.
This is generally done, but if they are
broken by accident and repaired in the
usual manner, by soldering, they may
become dangerous, for the solder is COM
posed chiefly OF lead. Numerous cases
of poisoning from the habitual drinking
of soda water first drawn in the morning
have been observed.
