10 Capitalists.
Exchange.

Exchange.
The conservative capitalist is slow
TO decide how he shall invest his sur
plus. His field is contracted, as he
never looks with friendly eye on the
pnrely speculative. His favorite in.
yestment for ages has, therefore, been
real estate, because of its tangible
nature. While this is true, yet he
has been led away. The exciting pc.
RODS of stook and grain speculation
have led him captive only to become
a loser, aud sometimes to cause him
to sustain heavy losses. But, happily,
the day for margin speculation and
watered stock investments has largely
passed,
Capital is again returning to its
true aud safe ehannel--Feal estate.
The hundreds of millions that have
been invested in the West in the last
few. years attest this,
As great a field as the West has
been for such Investments, a still
greater one is now opening up-thst
Of the South. The South, unknown,
unexplored, and, until recently, un-
willing to be known or 10 aid 10 ex-
ploring herself, has at last opened up
the vast treasures with which nature
has SO bountifully supplied her TO the
eovetous eye Of capital, The far see
ing capitalist has already invested
largely there. Her mining industries,
her railway extension, the large sales
of forest and agricultural lands pro-
claim this, aud yet her sources Of
wealth have scarcely been uncovered.
Almost whole states lie open for de-
velopment and settlement, rich in soil,
minerals, waterways and forest, with
beautiful sayannahs and gentle up
lands, where even the spGculstor's
eye has scarcely gazed, aud where the
price per acre is little more than the
price paid the government for the viz
gin soil, Such lands must increase
from ten to twenty fold in price in
the next decade,
So, too, with the far South towns
and cities. As the surrounding coun.
try grows they must become centers
of trade aud population. Capital can
seek no more promising field. Real
estate there ranges much lower than
in many of the smaller hamlets in the
West. From every view the South is
a new Golconda for capital and labor,

Yellow Pine Timber.


Northwestern Lumberman.
Comments lately made in the Lum-
herman about the arbitrary demands
of architects in respect to yellow pine
timber have elected some discussion.
The difficulty of finding enough heart
pine, of large size, to fill bills that in
cIude several hundred thousand feet
is very apparent TO any operator who
undertakes it. Unless the contractor
has famlliarized himself with the
south, and knows where be can obtain
a large number of the requisite SUCKS
on an area of reasonable size, he is
surprized to see how quickly his re-
sources are exhausted in a given To-
oaIlty. 1t is hard work, also, to make
the average null man understand that
the specifications in regard to heart
and sap mean Just what they say, and
cannot be ignored. Unless the con
tractor or his agent is on the ground,
and closely watches the job, lot of
sap sticks will surely be sent north
only to be thrown out,
In one or two instances 10 this city,
lately, sticks with considerably more
than the usual amount of sap wood on
them have been allowed to 90 into
buildings. One architect declares
that all he cares for is sound wood,
A gentleman in this city who is more
or less expert in timber matters,
claims that there is a misconception
about the sap of yellow pine, He
lately demonstrated, to his own salts
faction at least, before several Sabine
river or Lake Charles mill men, that
the sap they had despised and had
been troubled with, was not sap, but
good sound timber, fit for any use. II
this expert could establish this claim
and make consumers believe it, il
would be a great relief to the manu-.
factureTs, dealers and contractors. Il
is likely that as the demand for yel
low pine timber increases 10 the north
ern cities, architects win insist less on
strictly heart wood in their specifics
tions.

UNRETURNING.

Three things never come again
Snow may vanish from the plain,
Blossoms from the dewy sod,
Verdure from the broken GlOd,
Water from the rivers bed,
Forests from the mountains head,
Night may brighten into day,
Noon In midnight fade away,
Yet the snow shall come once more,
When the winter tempests roar;
Blossoms each returning spring,
ln her laden arms shall bring;
Grass be green where plOwshares run,
Rivers flash In autumn's sun;
Time shall bid the forests grow,
Noon and midnight come and go;
But, though all thy soul complain,
Three things shall not come again,
Never to the bow that bends,
Comes the arrow that 1t sends;
Spent in space its airy flight
Vanishes like lost delight.
When with rapid aim It sprang,
From the bowstring's shiVerihg tWang
Straight to brain or heart 1t fed,
Once for all Its course was sped,
No wild wall upon Its track
Brings the barb of vengeance back,
Hold thy hand before It go;
Pause beside the bended bow;
Hurtled once across the plain,
No spent arrow comes again.
Never comes that chance that passed;
That one moment was Its last,
Though thy life upon 1t hung,
Though thy death beneath 1t swung.
In thy future all the way
Now IN darkness goes astTay,
When the instant born Of fate
pasaaa thFDuOh tba Unl6nn
When the hour but dOt the man,
Comes and goes from Natures plan;
Never more its GOuntenance
Beams upon thy slow advance;
Never more that time shall be
Burden bearer unto thee.
Weep and search DER land and main,
Lost chance never comes again
NeYOr shall thy spoken word
Be again unsaid unheard;
Well its work the utteranCe wrought,
Veal or woe, what e'er 1t brought;
Once for all the rune is read,
Once for all the Judgment said.
though 1t pierced poisoned spear,
Though the soul thou holdest dear;
Though 1t quiveT, fierce and deep,
Through some stainless spirits sleep;
Idle, vain, the flying string,
That a passing rage might bring,
Speech shall give It fangs of steel
UtterRnce all its barb reveal.
Give thy tears of blood and fire;
Pray with pangs of mad desire;
Offer life, and soul, and all,
That one sentence to recall;
Wrestle with lis fatal wrath;
Chase with flying feet It's path;
Rue 1t all thy lingering days;
Hide 1t deep with love and praise,
Once for all thy word is sped
None invade 1t but the dead;
All thy travail will be vain
Spoken words come not again.

We had heretofore observed with
much ploasursble approval the en-
lightened efforts Of Hon. Placide Ca
nonge, one of the abIest Representa-
tlVes from the city, to amend the I'd
ucation Bill SO as to make the tuition
of the French Language mandatory in
the public schools in those sections of
our State where the French language
predominstes, The liberal efforts Of
Mr.. Canonge we're crowned with suc-
cess in the House, but narrow mind
ed and very iniudicious opposition
was organized in the Senate, through
which, instead of being made mauda-
tory the tuition Of the French lan-
guage is simply not prohibited, and
the matter left to the optional fancy
of the Board of Education.
While deploring this disappointing
defeat Of . very broad, liberal aud en-
lightened policy, We can but hope
that at the next session Of the Legis.
lature, the fight shall be renewed,
and in the light Of acquired eyperi-
euce, be carried 10 a well deserved
victory.-N. O, States.
While the States deplores the dis
appointing defeat Of what il chooses
to term "a broad, liberal, and enlight,
ened poliey,' the State generally will
congratulate itself on the action Of
tho Senate. The intent Of tile consti-
tuition in providing for free public cd
ucation for the youth Of Louisiana is
fully met when the people are Afforded

and in order that the foreign emf

it is his duty to learn and haYe his

The French and other languages pre-.
dominate in the State, in certain see
