four Of these rooms, and opened school,

great educational and Industrial college.
President Ladd has frequently travelled

Pueblo tribe Of Indians, which for hundreds
Of years had been semi-clvilized. President
Ladd was among the first to recognize the
Importance Of woman as a factor In the
civilization OF the Indians. In nanv OF the
Indian tribes the influence of women Is
already very great. Among the Nayajos the
women have an equal voice with the men in
council. and the NavajOs are the most inter-
esting of the North American tribes. A
very beautiful site Of four acres has been
given by one Of the Santa Fe citizens for the
Industrial school. 1t Is located on the crest
of hill overlooking eight ranges OF noun
tains, and plain Of one hundred thousand
acres. The cost Of this building. which will
accommodate $50 girls, with all the appoint
ments Tor teachers and school, will be about

Newspaper Laws.

Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary are considered wishing to con-
tinue their subscription.
If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their periodicals, the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the office TO which they
are directed, they are responsible until they
have settled their bills, and ordered them dis
continued.
Nfsubseribers move to other places without
informing the publishers, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they are held res
ponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
lRke periodicals from the office, or removing
end leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
1t subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at the
end OF their time, nthey do not wish to con-
tinue taking the paper; otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it on and the
subscribers viii be responsible until an ex-
press notice, with payment Of all arrears, is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal law decision isto the eff
feet that publishers of newspapers can, under
the law arrest any man for fraud who takes a
paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this
law tits a dangerous trick for a man to allow
his subscription account to run on from six
months or a year unpaid, and then tell the
postmaster to mark it " refused" or end the
editor a postal card to discontinue the paper.

A Question of Gravity.
Baton Rouge Truth.

Baton Rouge Truth.
A series of charges brought against
an applicant for appointment as police
Juror in the parish of East Feliciana
who has secured the signatures of nine
tentlls of the white voters in his ward,
eliminates in the accusation that he is
Il very avariciOus man, so much so that
he once Issued a negro for fifteen cents
balance due on a dog trade" The
charge is entitled to attention because
it is accurately true, and can be proved
by the records of the Seventh Ward
Justices Court, parish of East Feliei-
ana, and it is made more serious still
by the additional fact that on the trial
ofti.e case the negro swore that he
would have paid the fifteen cents, but
plaintiff had "cheated him in the the
trade"
Now, what is Gov. Nichols to do in
the premises? Here the awkward alter
native is presented the Governor of the
State either to offend nine-tenths of the
voters of that ward by refusing to ap-
point the applicant, who, by the way,
was down here to see him Tuesday, or
to send a commission to q man who
bears the doubtful record of having
sued apegro for fifteen cents due on a
dog trade. Verify, the chief executives
chair is not a bower of roses. This is
one case in which tie press is unable to
offer its advice.

The Soldiers Home.

We are indebted to the Board of Di-
rectors of Camp Nichols" the Sol
diers' Homeaof Louisiana, for their re-
port to the General Assembly. There
are in this institution some fifty veter-
ans of the late war who are being cared
for at the expense of the State. The
following extracts from the report will
be of interest to our readers:
With the limited appropriations
granted by the State, it has required
the most economical management to
provide the necessary wants of the in
mates. The time has come when we
deem it imperative that the State
should increase the appropriation. Our
old soldiers now require greater care
and attention they are growing more
helpless and need more comforts, and
we feel that your honorable body will
feel proud of the high privilege you
possess to furnish the required aid.
The buildings are wanting repairs.
The Home is conducted as intended
by it's founders, so that the inmates
feel and know it is their Home. The
only semblance of military organization
is that adopted by the inmates them
selves, in electing q lieutenant, SER
geants and corporals to assist the Super
intendent Ill carrying out the rules es-
tablished by the Board. n II
Visitors are admitted to the Home at
any hour of the day. + Many persons
from every State have visited the Home,
and all have expressed themselves hap
Ply and delighted to see what our State
has done for her worthy heroes. 4 =
Many Improvements have been made
to the grounds since the last report,
yet more is required to give an appear
ance that will reflect greater credit up
on our State in the maintenance of this
institution.
On various occasions we have been
called upon to extend the hospitality OF
the Home to disabled Confederates from
other States. Under the present con-
ditions of the law none such can be ad-
mitted, but we would have been un-
worthy of the name of L%ouisianians had
we refused a few days shelter to old
companions.
