Editor Lake Charles Echo;
1t is with pleasure l address few
lines to your valuable and much ap.
preciated paper
Health is now generally good.
Crops all gathered. Cotton mostly
sent to market, and now hog killing
is the order of the day.
We have very fine Beach mast,
and hogs are very fat, but the disease
that has been so Obstructive in other
settlements has just broke out in this,
and has caused some of us to kill ex-
travagantly, thinking that if we did
not kill them tho disease would.
Since the cotton is out and off, the
ak and mall are making merry music
these cool days. New lands are being
cleared, new fencing put up, old fenc-
ing repaired, and If there is anything
in an early start our farmers will GER
tainly succeed in 1885. The prospect
is much better than last year. Corn,
meat and provisions, generally more
abundant. Debts either paid or greatly
diminished.
A goodly number of our young men
are gaining seIf-confdence, marrying
wives, settling down to business, and
we hope they will do well so that
many others may be encouraged to do
likewise, and not suffer all the lands
to be taken up by spectators, for
now is the time for our young peo-
pie to secure homes.
| thought by this time to be able
to send you the amount of the cotton
crop of this section, but as | have not
the number of bales ginned by all the
gins, l will try and send the figures
as soon as | learn them.
Our Christmas passed off quietly
and peaceably, all having good time,
| mean no hattering, but must be
allowed to congratulate the EoHo, |
well remember what it was at the out
SET similar to the Condenser, but now
| consider the religious column worth
the subscription price; in my opinion
this is feature in the paper that
should be appreciated highly by all,
In that column | find some OF the
brightest evidences of Christianity,
some of the best tests of true faith,
and closer self-examnations than any
thing | have read in modern print.
Thankful that have the privilege to
read the Echo.
Now fellow-citizens, the old year is
out the new opens upon us with
bright prospects, let us try to properly |
appreciate all Gods blessings, seek so
to reform our lives, to rise higher in
the scale of social and moral virtue.
May all those, who live to see the end
of 1885 feel that It has been to them
the most pleasant and profitable year
of their lives.
Success to the Echo, success to
Calcasieu, success to all,
Cousin JOSH,

Rumor OF "a Change of Policy,

Galveston News.
1t is said that the President has
been long enough in Office to realize
that the position he has assumed here
tofore of investigating the character
and capacity of every person recon-
mended for office has been mistaken
one, besides involving more time than
he conld spare for such matters, He
now proposes to hold Senators and
members of Congress strictly respon-
sible for their recommendations, and
that whatever charges are preferred
against applicants so recommended he
will leave to the Senate to determine.
He believes that this division of respon
sibility with the Senate is proper, and
it is what the Constitution intended.
He has also resolved to take no inter
est whatever in the confirmation of
those whom he is not personally salts
fed with, leaving the Senate TO CON
firm or reject. This change Of policy
is not satisfactory to a great many
Senators and members, who have been
in the habit Of recommending to him
applicants for Office merely to get rid
Of them, and thus throw the RESPONSE
bility on him of deciding upon their
character and efficiency. OF conrse
this policy is only to apply to nom
nations made at the instance of Sen
ators, members aud Others, and Of
whom be has no knowledge of his own
to guide him, 50 that II any such
nominations turn ont wrong and mn
wise, the country will know that the
fault will not rest with the President,
but with those who imposed upon him
by such recommendations

In announcing the fact that johann

lie does this ON the ground that the

to the Socialist anarchy which MIR. Most

OF human society in this world. 1t is one
OF the weaknesses of MIR. Georges posi-
ton that all the Anarchists are for him in
spite of his protest that he is not an
Anarchist or even Il Socialist
Conccding this weakness to alllict Mr..

ever give the q%uietus to the raeamullin
horde who trade upon the weaknesses Of
honest labor, giving in return for blasted
hopes and ruined lives, the poor recon-
pence of Dead Sea fruits, that turn To

The proper time to consider the ques-
ton of ovcrwork in schools is at the be-
ginning of the term, when the evil can
be prevented, and not, as is usually
done, at its end, when the manifest bad
effects give rise to pointlcss moralizing.
School teachers generally will not ad-
init that the ordinary public school
course causes overwork in the pupils.
But the pale faces, emaciated forms,
headaches and bad conditions
observable in the children at the end
of the school year show plainly that
something is wrong. 1t may be that the
bad mir of the school-rooms or improper
diet and care ut home contribute to pro-
ducc the fagged-out appearance, but
there n be little doubt hat the high
pressure system of head-cramming is
responsible for a large share of the bad
results.
One thing is surely bad-the subject
ing of all children, the weak with the
robust, the dull with the bright, to the
same i%ron-bound system and course of
study. The instruction should in some
way be better adapted both to the indi-
vidual needs and the capacity of the
scholars. The rivalry, the worry and
suspense in contests for promotion, UNI
der IN absurd system of marks, should
be abolished. Parents on their part
should see to it hat their children get
plenty of sleep and outdoor play, and
that the older girls avoid social
dissipation. Study alone hurts very few
children. 1t is the things superadded
to necessary study, or bad conditions for
studying that do the most of the mis-
chief.-New York World.

In conversation n few evenings AGO II
distinguished chemist and physician,
who is also IN enthusiastic and critical
lover of music, told an interesting story
about Ole Bull and John Ericsson, the
great inventor.
1t seems that they were friends in
early life, but drifted apart and ala not
meet again until each had become fg-
nous. Bull had charmed the ears of admir-
ing thousands all over the civilized world,
while the part the great m~echnnirian
played in naval warfare during the re-
bellion reused the north to enthusiasm
and startled the world.
Bull, happening 10 be in New York on
n concert tour, determined to look up his
old friend and renew the acquaintance.
lie found him in his workshop sur
rounded by tools, machinery, designs,
models, and materials used in mcchani-
cal constructions, directing the lahors Of
n corps of assistants.
When taking his leave Bull invited
Ericsson to attend his concert that might.
Ericsson, however, declined, saying he
had no time to waste.
Their acquaintance being thus renewed,
Bun continued TO call on his old friend
when visiting New York, and usually
when taking his leave would ask Fries
son to attend his concert, but Ericsson al
ways declined the invitation.
Upon one occasion Bull pressed him
urgently. and said; "If you do not come
| shall bring my violin here and play in
your shop"
Ericsson replied grufly;

The Inauguration of Grover Cleveland
two years & was the act of departure of
a new line of political ethics in this coun-
try. and it is gratifying to note that the
godd seed has taken root in all sections,
and the country, and the people in it, are
better because it is so. The greatest
proof we have to-day that such a mag
unanimous spirit is alive in the nation, is
seen in the peremptory manner with
which even the Republican press irown
down the exploded bloody shirt and
Southern outrages, and but that two or
three malignant men still hold high places
in the press Of that party, these causes OF
elimination and recrimination would be
rclcgated to n deserved oblivion, and one
large factor be removed from the political
shames of the day.
In this enlightened age. when n mans
individual merits are his sole stock on
which he relies for the suifragcs of the
people, and when the lcavcn of absolute
equality of rich and poor before the law
and the people, is working toward a sue
ccssful dcnoucment, it is pleasant to note
that the sound Judgment of the sensible
voters is superior to the allurcments of
bribery, AMI that the honest and worthy
poor man is placed on an equal footing OF
chances with his wealthy opponent. The
general trend OF the education Of the
times is toward an unicttcrcd ballot and it
is the surcst sign cxtant of the mate
strength of the republic, and Of its future
prosperity.
For once in the history of this city,
when this paper reaches the readers
hands, there will be no wounds to heal,
no regulations to defend, no malice to
rankle in otherwise good hearts, no lcul
to pass along from father to son, and no
cause to bring a blush to the faces of the
near and dear ones Of both contcsting
parties. Is not that fact in itself a glor
ious heritage to the rising generation, and
should 1t not serge to strengthen the lead
ing men of both parties in their manly
resolve. that hcncclorth political fights in

But the chief objec. of interest on the
top of Popocatapelt is the crater.
Imagine the interior of a mountain liter
ally blown out by an explosion, to the
depth of 600 or 800 feet, leaving a mar
row rim perpendicular on its inside sur
face. This would be no exaggerated
picture of the real appearance of the
crater. l stood and looked over the
dizzy brink in mute astonishment. A
vast cavity, unsupported from the out
side, sank away at my feet, rock ribbed,
ragged and torn, along its precipitous
sides. Out of oriices in its deep and
dismal bottom rose jets and streamers
of steam, putting and blowing in the lead
air.
Having no object at hand by which
to gauge the size, l was greatly deceived
as to the magnitude of this cavity in the
mountains bowels. l supposed it meas
ured perhaps 500 feet across, but a
friend subsequently told me that a ball
from ms rifle did not reach the opposite
wall, as indicated by no displacement of
stones. 1t is fully a mile in diameter,
and a workman who had wrought in the
crater extracting sulphur, told me that

being foot in diameter as they appeared
to be, measured from twelve to eighteen
feet. The vapor pouring out of these
holes is highly im~pregnated with sui
phur, which is deposited on the rocks
and in the soil, and becomes an mex
haustible supply of this mineral. The
crane and rigging for lowering the
workmen into this inferno still remains
IN place, but the rope having been I'M
used for three years, no one cares to
trust his weight upon it.
An awful silence now broods over this
scene of emptiness and desolation, in
striking contrast with the roar and tur-
bulence which terrified the Spaniards,
who attempted to ascend the volcano
$50 years ago. At brief intervals a rock
or boulder rolls laundering down the
PERCEPTIONS sides to the bottom, displac-
ing other stones on its way, and one can
not help wondering what must have
been the original depth of the crater,
which after 200 years of such accre-
tons, still measures more thar 600 feet.
1t was with n sigh of regret that we at
last turned away from these most aston
ishing and %stupendous remains of vol
canic actions, and prepared to make our
descent to lower earth.-Mexico Cor.
