Our efficient Sheriff has had two
of the Jail prisoners cutting down
weeds in the courthouse yard this
week. This is a good move. We
think it would be an excellent idea to
work the roads and streets with them
1t would be better than lying up in
Jail on expenses all the time. The
law gives the police jury the right to
work them Oh the roads, and we think
it would be an excellent idea for our
police jury to pass an ordinance
authorizing the sheriff to have worked
all criminals who are serving out
their sentences in jail.

LUX E SHARP.

MT. Robert Barr, the duke Sharp" of The Detroit Free Press, IS humorous writer who has earn ed reputation second..only to that of M. Qaud, sketch of whom we published last week.
 Like Nj. Quad, "Luke Sharp" was "discovered" by The Free Press. In 1875 he was teaching school in Canada. During vacation time, he, in company with friend, made voyage in small skiff from Detroit 10 Buffalo along the south shore of Lake Erie. The trip ee- cupled couple of weeks, and Mir Barr, under the nom dc plume of duke Sharp" wrote several papers detailing the experiences of himself and friend, and sent tham 10 The Free Press. The art cles were pub lished, running several weeks, and they imm ediately attracted wide attention, being reprinted entire in many othor papers. Those who were 80 fortunate as to read them, will easily remember tn. equlsite, side sPlittirg style Tn which the adventures and mlshaps of Luke" and his friend Mac" were chroni- cled.
 Luke Sharp" was at once offer ed position on Tho Free Press staff, and he has since written ex- clusively for that paper, dellghting thousands every week with hls laugh provoking sketches.
 In 1881 Mir. Barr was sent to England to establish tho European edition of The Free Press, and in July of that year the paper was is- sued at 325 Strand, London, where it is stlll published with ever iL- creasing success. Mir. Barr spent nearly three years in traveling over the greater part of Europe, writing accounts of his jonrneyin.s for The Free Press. It is his purpose to spend several months during the coming year in visiting other points of interest Tn the old world, and readers of Tie Free Press will doubtless be treated to a series of interesting and humorous letters Tn his own in'mitable style. Iuke Sharp" is a genial Scotchman, a native of Glasgow, and still a young man on the sunny side ot forty; in the opinion of his many friends hls best work is vet to come.
