GOOD LANGUAGE.
A Wonderful HELP, IN the Thorough Educa-
tion of Child.

A wonderful Help .n the Thorough Educa-
tion of . child.
As soon as child begins to lisp its
first broken sentence its education
should begin. Habits are formed which
will exist 10 a greater or less degree
throughout life.
Such being the case the conversation
of the older members OF the family
little ones hear and learn ungrammatieal
expressions and slang. which. sad 10
say, is 50 rife among our young people
OF the present day.
The servants, with whom the chill
dren spend much of their time, should
be chosen with reference TO this mat
ter.
A mother should feel II her duty to
point any grammatical mistakes made
by them. and insist upon their language
being correct. respectful, and devoid OF
slang at all time.
II is exceedingly difficult to break

II such plans as these are systemat-

Gov. Knobloch responded to a call
by stating that the ideas and opinions
of the various speakers, who had pre-
ceded him were ''his sentiments" and
he was fully in accord with all that
had been said
Major Grisamore said that in his
young days. there was fun in politics,
that after an election was over the
winners and the losers were satisfied
and had a good time over it. But to-
day there is no fun in politics; it is
solely a matter of business with us and
of solemn business at that. The very
existence of our right to possess an
influence in government was i'll ques-
ton.
If the Force bill should become Il
law, and the next Congress be Repub-
lean that our vote would be of no
avail in the future-elections would
be decided as they were in the days of
Kellogg and Warmoth. He called
upon the young to vote, and to vote
solidly on Nov. 4, as it was important
to show to the world that the Democ-
raey of Louisiana is still alive.
Nj. Marks from Assumption, assured
the voters of Lafourche that that par
ish would strive to cast a larger vote
for Price ON Nov. 4, than Lafourche.
The Thibodaux Brass Band rendered
several pieces of fine music during the
evening, contributing very materially
to the enjoyment of the evening.
Mr.. Price left on Thursday morning
tor Houma, with the understanding
that the meeting postponed from We'd
nesday night, would take place on the
evening of Nov. 3, next.
Let everybody be prepared on that
occasion, and give our congressman
such a send-off as will delight his heart.
and encourage him to fill the duties of
his position with honor to himself and
fellow citizens.

LIGHT.

Complaints are heard daily of the
want of lights at the railroad depot in
this place. The evening train arrives
at Z O'Clock, or later, when it is so
dark that passengers can, with Difficult
ty see their way from the depot to the
town.
And, buggies or carriages hat may
be passing along the public road are
unable to see the cars, and liable to
come in contact with them.
Two or three lights would be sufi-
cient to prevent any accidents and
permit travellers to go to and from.
the depot without running risks to life
or limb, that car be easily pre- rented.
The railroad authorities will no doubt,
attend to this matter, now that their
attention has been called to its neces-
sity.

When and where has "the system
or any system of contraction been ap-
pliedto Bayou LafOurche /? The irregu-
lar contr3ctions of the food channel by
the erratic levees built, not for the cor
r%ection of the channel but for the adj
%jacent lands has precisely the same
effect here that it has on the Mississip-
pl; that is. deeper water where the
stream is confined to narrow limits,
and shallower water where it has room
to spread out.
That the contraction of the flood
channel does cause a deepening of the
stream on Bayou Lafourche as well as
elsewhere is shown by the condition of
the bayou right in front of Thibodaux.
Tnere, and notably at the bridge, where
the water has been rigidly confined for
years ID a narrow space, the low water
channel is much deeper than in front
OF the Catholic Church a short distance
below, where the 1ood-channel is much
wider, and where as is well known, is
located one of the worst bars on the
bayou. viii any n assert that this
bar would ever have been deposited
there had the contraction at the bridge
been extended and maintained to, or
beyond the point where it has formed?
Ii contraction does not cause a deep
ening of the channel why is it that the
deepest water is where the hood-chan-
mel Is narrowest, and the worst bars
are where it is the widest-why did
not the bar referred to above, form be-
tween the abutments of the bridge in
stead of a mile belowP
1t is not the contraction of the
channel that is the cause of
the trouble on Bayou Lafour-
che, but variations in the We
locity of the current, however these
variations may be Observation-Disclosures
by inequalities in the width of the
channel, or by crevasses, flowing ca
nails, and cuts which take from the
stream any considerable quantity of
water.
The Eads system is a system, and is
as different as possible frem the hap
hazard and reckless style of engineer
ing (God help usD which prevails on
this bayou. 1t contemplates as | have
already sald-"bringing the fiood-chan-
mel to an approximately equal width
throughout the whole section to be
operated upon" and Of course maintain
ing it in that state.
When this shall have been intelli-
gently done on Bayou Lafourche, and
shall have failed to produce the same
effects as such works have produced
the Mississippi river, then it will be
order to declare that the lefty system
Is not applicable to the Lafourche.

Y L~AFOURCHE.

The editor wishes me to rise up and
explain chow a jetty system in Bavon
Lafourche would work practically as
efficacious as it does in the Mississippi
River 2"
Aside from the physical demonstra-
ton of the fact the only possible an
swer to this is-By following the same
principles that guided the engineers in
constructing the jetties on the river.
For this bayou is practically a part of
the Mississippi since it is really one
OF the mouths of the Mississippi. Be-
ing. as one of its mouths, a part of the
river, it is logical to conclude that it is
governed by the same laws, and that
a system of improvement that has been
already successfully applied to another
OF Its mouths and to other parts of the
main stream would be equally efica-
ciOus here.
The editor says further sit seems
that the system of contraction ION
Bayon Lafourche) has just the oppo-
site effect to a similar contraction in
the main river"
