CUTTING AFFAIR.-On Saturday
afternoon last, on Front street, oppo-
site the store Of Mr.. @. A. Setback.
Mr. Charles M. Vallery cut, with a
knife, Horace Reason, colored
drayman. The wound reached from
shoulder to shoulder, but is not dan
gerous one, not being very deep. We
were unable to learn the origin of the
difficulty which led to the cutting, but
it is SAID that it begun in a dispute
over trunk which Reason had prom
ised to haul for Vallery. An atiida-
Wit was made by Reason before JUS
tiee Whittingron, charging Vallery
with "assanlt and cutting with a dan
gerus weapon with intent to kill
Justice Wilmington fixed the appear
ance bond at $500, which was readily
furnished.

We learn that the bridge over
Bayou Rapides, at the head of Fourth
street, has been condemned for travel,
being very unsafe, owing to the rapids
of the bayou having washed one oil
more of the benches from under the
bridge. The matter is one which de-
mauds the immediate attention of onl
member of the Police Jury, as little
work at once may save the Parish
many dollars, and at the same time
remedy a great Inconvenience to the
travelling public.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS.

Hope Town TALK and Louisiana
Democrat will publish the fullowing
school information:
IL reply to correspondents and
Others interested, say: examinations
to be held in September, proximo,
are specially for those who have no
certificate of competency to teach
school from our Board OF Elk tminers,
and for ali teachers holding second
or third CRATE certificate who desire
to obtain higher Que.
Part Of Sec. "A, Act 81, Session of
Legislature 1888: whenever two
Or more teachers apply for the same
position, or positions, a compitative
examination shall be held, snd the
position or positions shall be given to
The most competent. -
This part of the school law is
mandatory and compels School
Boards to give schools to teachers
holding first graie certificates in pre-
ference to second and second in pre-
ference to third.
1t is the earnest desire of our
School Board, plainly expressed as g
unit, to continually try to improve
our public schools, TO make them
better and better by every laudable
method in our power, and recognize
the first step towards accomplishing
our object is to have the best teach
ers we can get to take charge of
public schools.
IL is to be hoped the day has passed
and is forever gone when schools will
be given to teachers because they
need them for the money they re-
ceive instead of merit honestly earned
in school work.
Public schools are for the purpose
of making intelligent citizens of our
boys and girls and are established
for their use, their benefit; they be-
long to them, and do not belong to
patrons, school officers or teachers
who have them in charge, to govern
guide and direct for the benefit OF
those who attend.
No effort will be spared by our
School Board and self to improve our
schools, to make them 50 useful to
pupils; to elevate them to such Il
hiph standard of eycp1Ipnca in thei,
work as to make them an honor to
our parish and citizens.
Hope to have the hearty co-opcra.
ton Of every teacher in our parish III
trying 10 better the present condition
Of our schools.
Teachers holding first, second and
third grade certificates are requested
70 meet me in Alexandria on Sept.
18th, prcA. as published, to organize

Dolls, Drums and Swords.

The doll is thousands of years old;
it has been found inside the graves OF
little Roman children, and will be
found again by the Psychologists of Il
future date among the remains of our
own culture. The children of Pom
pei and Herculancum trundled hoops
Just as you and l did; and who knows
whether the rocking horse on which
we rode in II young days is not IA
lineal descendant of that proud charger
into whose wooden TANKS the children
OF Francis Is time dug their spurs.
The drum is also indestructible, and
setting time at naught across the cen
turtles, it beats the Christmas-tide and
New Year summons that bids the tin
soldier prepare himself for war. and
shall continue to beat as long as there
exist boy arms to WELD the drumsticks,
and grown-up peoples ears to be deafcn-
ed by the sound thereof. The tin SOL
der views the future with calm; he will
not lay down his arms until the day of
general disarmament and there is, as
yet. no prospect OF universal peace.
The toy sword also stands its ground;
it is the nursery symbol of the ineradi-
cable vice Of our race-the lust for bat
tie. Harleqnins, fool's-cap-erowned
and bell-ringing, are also likely to en-
dure; they are sure TO be found among
the members of the toy world as long
as there are fools to be f~ound.among the
inhabitants of our own. Gold-laced
knights, their swords at their sides,
curly-locked and satin-shod princesses,
staiwart musketeers, mustached and
t~op-booted, are all types which still
hold their own. The Chinese doll is
young as yet but she has a brilliant,
future before her.-Biackpood's Mage
