Of two half-inch boards for end pieces.

are kept apart by a piece Of lath. When
stretched out for use they make a cloth

inches high, and are exceedingly useful

young sows Is sure to end in dcgcneracy
Of stock sooner or later. TO avoid La

which sometimes crush their pigs, re-
duce them in flesh. AS a rule most
b%rood-sows are too lat, in which case

IN easy way To split a sheet OF paper,
says the New York Tribune, is to soak

the upper half can then be peeled off.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.

In another column will he found
the text of the anti Chinese resolu-
ton which was proposed at the last
session of the Legislature, to be
Incorporated in the Constitution
was fully discussed and voted on;
and also the record of the final vote
by which it was indefinitely post
poned.-as furnished by Hon. w. o.
Smith, one of the Mobiles, and pub
lished in Mondays Bulletin.
1t is not surprising that such a
long-winded resolution should have
failed to pass, in a tolerably full
house, and after an exhaustive de-
bate. The vote on the motion to
indefinitely postpone, was twenty-five
for postponement, and seventeen
against the motion, or in favor of
the resolution. Yet had the resolu-
ton briefly and clearly empowered
the Legislature to enact such exclu-
siVe laws relative to Chinese as it
might deem best for the public well
fare, such an amendment to the
Constitution would undoubtedly
have passed and been generally ap-
proved.
A large majority of the foreign
voters of this kingdom favor strong
exclusion measures of some kind,

BETTING.

The results of betting upon the
baseball games are beginning to
show themselves very clearly. When
a large amount of money is staked,
the losers, or rather some among the
losers, always bring charges of an
fair play, or in the case of races of
unfair running or pulling. Thus
recently in England there was the
great Durham Chetwynd scandal, in
which it was shown that some of the
best of jockeys had been giving away
races. Moreover, there have been
turf scandals in the past both in
America and England. We have
had some specimens of turf scandals
here, and we can remember a great
deal Of excitement and loud talk over
unfairness in boat race upon which
very large sum had been wagered.
Thus it is by no means surprising
that what has tainted almost every
public sport elsewhere should faint
ours here. As we pointed out but a
few issues ago, the trouble or rather
evil, does not stop at this, but is
liable to put great temptations in the
way of young men.
It seems to us very anamolous that
the law against gaming should not
be enforced in reference to betting
upon horse races or baseball
matches when it is enforced against
the Chinese, however small stakes
they may be playing for. That
large sums change hands after
every baseball match is we'll known.
The money is paid over openly and
charges could easily have been form
ulated any time these three months
past.
But though the law may do some
good, betting will never be over
come until public opinion frowns
1T down. When it is regarded by
the bulk of people not only unlawful
but vulgar and ungentlemanly to
bet, then and not till then will bet
ting be completely vanquished.

Now that the Lafayette police
jury have got started on the road
question, we hope they will open up
the road from Abbeville to lafayette
on the rear of the forty arpent
grants. That part of the road in
the upper part of this parish, which
was stopped up and in dispute, was
surveyed last week and will be open
to the Lafayette line in a few days.
Now, can't Lafayette open it. from
there on to Pinhook? What says
you, Bro. Bailey? Can't you stir
them up and then we can get to visit
you occasionally.
