TO the President of tho Police Jury.
DEAR olR-I desire TO address
through you the police jury Of your
parish, and respectfully request you
to lay this communication before
them. soliciting as prompt action as
possible. and with most respectful
urgency beg a favorable considera.
tion OF it.
l apply you to devise some means
Or plan by which to procure and
foster immigration to your parish.
This | think the most momentous
material interest of tie day. The
South generally is bestirring itself
in this regard. In our own State a
few parishes in southwest Louisiana,
by diligent and wise efforts in a
liberal expenditure Of money, ?nd by
newspaper articles au0 pamphlets,
have enhanced the value of their
lands to a price that many of our
citizens, not cognizant Of the facts,
would not credit. Du. this immense
prosperity can not be accomplished
by incrtncss aud Indifference It
took time, money, great intelligence
and management to accomplish it. I
beg that no parisl, in this State will!
indulge N the policy Of simply wait
ing and hoping for immigration
without making wise and energetic
efforts for it. 1t will not come as
the rain does, withou. our interven-
tion and exertlon. / am especially
anxious to incite the parishes ITO ef-
fort, beeausesl foresee a likelihood
Of complaint and criticism Of myself
in the future, when immigration
shall have come to those parishes
which have property moved to Sc,
cure it, and have greatly enhanced
| values; while other parishes which
have been dcrelict will be still in the
old rut of Iow.priced land anil the

Influence OfEOOd On the Mind.

Good food, a variety and enough
to satisfy the demands of the stom-
ach for the time, exercises q prodig-
ious influence on mental operations.
A hungry man has no wide range
Of thought, neither has q glntton.
Those are extremes which endanger
the physical well-being Of the body.
Just enough to relish, contributes,
immensely toward that condition of
mind essential for the exercise of
reason and judgment. Where food
is imperiectly digested, Or not at
the vital processes are diminished iu
force, which is shown in direct de-
bility and an enlecbled state Of
brain.
Great brain workers are general
ly great caters. The blood requires
frequent meals from which to elabo-
rate something essential to its full
contribution or those elements that
sustain the most wonderful organ
ever brought under the eye Of nat.
uralist in the construction of it's
mysterious function. Stranger still,
the brain quickly uses up the quick
ened influences conveyed to it in tho
blood and if more is not soon sup
piled, the deficiency is indicated by
the nervous disturbances and ab-
normal arrangements which food
alone can re-establish.
4 regular systematically served
diet, of mixed character, embra-
cling both animal and vegetable ma
terials, proportioucd agreeably to
the taste of an individual, secures
the Highest condition of mind for
carrying on those studies in litera-
ture, silence, or art characteristic
of the best types Of civilized man.
Neither savages, barbarians, men
dicants in search of q dinner, nor
gourmands write books or contrib.
ute to moral progress of mankind.

House Flies.

have discovered good way to
destroy house flies, Gays lady in the
Picayunc. 1t has the advantage Of
chcapness and also preventing dead
flies from falling into everything, as
they do when poison is used. Mix
together, equal parts, my measure,
Of melted resin and castor oil. Stir
until thoroughly mixed-which will
take only a minute. Whilo yet a
little warm, spread thin aud evenly
on any paper that is not porous. We
use fools'.cap, writing papers, cata-
logue covers, show bills, etc. Spread
with case knife, or any straight-
edged instrument, slightly warmed.
Leave narrow border to handle
with. Lay the papers on tables,
shelves or any spare places where
flies are numerous. They will soon
cover the papers. AS soon as they
alight they will stick fast, and soon
pull themselves down. When the
papers are covered two or three flies
deep, pu. in stove and replace with
another one. BE sure to use no
water. The oil prevents the resin
from hardening end has the pecu.
liarity of not evaporating. The oil
leaves no odor when cool. Ten
cents viii buy enough to kill all the
flies ia a hotel.

A STATESMAN CHURCH.

A contemporary is disguised because
the st. Louis convention has mo refer
ence to the peculiar institutions of
Utah." There is nothing in it about
polygemy. Neither does it touch upon
he sexual inequalities of the great cities
of the east. There is not one word
about intemperance; nothing condemn
atory of horse stealing. The conven-
ton should have enumerated all crimi-
nal offenses of whatsoever name and ma
ture, cataloguing them in alphabetical
order, subjecting each to a vote of it's
members after a full discussion, and
thus occupying the time intervening
before the election. Several of our
prominent citizens have been absent
during the past week. We now know
where they Gave been. They have been
occupied at Washington, framing the
Democratic platform. The platform
was really prepared at Washinton, and
the High Council, or at least a quorum
of the Seventies must have sat upon it
before it was admitted to the conference
Jor approval"
If the Mormon church has heretofore
been guilty of all the iniquities laid at
its door, it has amply atoned for it by
The broad and patriotic craftsmanship
it has exhibited in the preparation of
this admirable document. A "hierar
chyn that has shown its ability to gov
ern the Democratic party, and through
the Democratic party the nation, will
not any longer be regarded by the PEG
pie as dangerous and disturbing e.e-'
ment in Utah.

bounded Enthusiasm.

The following telegram, dated North
Platte, Jure 9Th, was received from the
manager of the exposition car yester-
day:
1.-THE exposition car created great ex-
element en- route to Omaha. At every
station crowds already apprised of its
coming surged in and around it, fnll OF
admiration for lis beauty and the en-
terprise which sent 1t ont. AT
Laramie and Cheyenne, the trade
bodies met the car, and remained dur
ing its short stay, earnestly wishing il
bon voyage when it left. and predicting
for it a successful result in advertising
Salt Lakes advantages and wonderful
resources. Many influential people in
Wyoming, among them some who have
visited Utah, expressed unbounded sur
prise at the showing made by the car,
and its managers found many who
have already decided on following up
the impression made by close ihves-
tigation at an early date.

establish manufactures, provide en-
ployment far laborers and create busi--
ness. Naturally this is about what they
VII do; and then what will
VIZ say? That we haven't confdance in
the country? That we haven't the en-
terprise which we ask them to display
That we fear to tread where we want
them to goP
When a an of intelligence aud with
progressive ideas asks what is being
done the way of public improvements
shall we disgust and discourage him by
telling the truth, and by telling him
that nothing is being done, induce him
to take the first train out? Shall we
take intending merchants through the
busin IS streets and show them land
worth thousand dollars a foot occu-
pied by tumt le-down rookeries worth
no mora than the timber in them vii
fetch for kindling, and tell them that
the owners of the land have so little con
fidence in the permanency of the city
that they will not improve their prop
erty? Shall we let the visitors rustic
for hotel accommodations such as
they find IN other cities, and
then let them know that
while our hostelries are full and
guests are quartered in private houses
and office rooms, there is so little faith
in the town among our men of money
that they will not build hotels enough
for the travelling publicP
We are not opposing what is being
done in the way of advertising Salt
Lake, but we cannot prevent the belief
that our professions and our works are
not entirely consistent. We are not
showing the faith whi-h we ask others
to have. Aud we fear the right course
is not being pursued to retain the men
and the money which we are inducing
hither. We also apprehend that not a
few will go away disguised when they
learn that we expect them to do what
we should be doing.
