he viii not depart from it, Tins
spoke man who was considered very
wise in his generation and the wis
don, of the saying has never been
questioned. When a boy has been
raised in liquor shop ; nothing but a
wonderfully strong will, Or natural
distaste for strong drink that cannot
be overcome, WILL prevent his becom-
ing a drunkard. Bring a boy up
among thieves and he is almost certain
to be thief. If brought up among
robbers, murderers, or pirate, he is
very apt to be one of these. In re-
ligion, il educated in the school of any
particular sect, he is apt to belong to
that sect. In politics it is pretty
much the same. If the children OF
this State are educated on lottery
money they are very certain to be
lottery gamblers and have no scruples
against gambling of any kind. The
lottery, if it should succeed in captur-
ing the State government, may have
all books excluded from the schools
except those that inculcate the doc
trine now preached by its advocates,
that it is blessing. The lottery and
lottery money will control everything.
The school board, school teachers, and
school children will all have to worship
the lottery. Louisiana viii then be a

Several weeks have elapsed since death
closed our darling eyes to all save heay'
ems light, and leaving saddened hearth
dreary waste in the hearts of home aud
| friends. Long ere this should my voice
have been raised in accents of love; but
| It's ever true that when the heart is full
| the lips are silent" For the two short years
and half that little Edward spent on
earth, he was a ray of sunlight shedding
more than ordinary intelligence, his win
ming ways. childish prattle, and merry blue
eyes, made him a household idol, pet
with all who knew him, and when God
deemed it best to call one more angel to
paradise, the sunshine of home was dar-
kened; and though we know and feel that
heaven is the brighter for that darkness,
still tear drops fall from our eyes Ill waves
that will keep his memory green forever.
To you, sorroWing parents, may the heayi-
ness endure but for night, and morn Of
interminable JOY follow, may peace and
comfort be yours now, and everlasting
happiness with him who is now an addition

The New Orleans people are certain
that Chief of Police Hennessy was
assassinated by Italians, and conse-
quently there is much ill-feeling against
them. Several have been arrested and
held for trial, but it seems difficult to
secure evidence. The opinion is that
many Italians know the facts but will
not testify against their race. Unless
the guilty parties be punished, it is
feared that there will be an outbreak
against the Italians generally.

The public schools OF this parish
opened last Monday. The labor ques-
tion, outside of the towns, has great
deal to do with the attendance at the
schools. Labor was never known to
he so scarce as it is now, during the
harvest season. Every man woman
and child can now get work, at good
prices, in the sugar, cotton or rice
fields. The season has been bad for
saving hay, and it has been very diff
cult to get labor to do it during the few
days of favorable weather: that have
occurred. Cotton picking began late
and has progressed very slowly. Most
children large enough, white and
eolored, are engaged In picking cotton,
and therefore will not attend school
till the picking is done. 1t viii be
difficult therefore for teachers to have
the required average attendance for 8
month or 50 yet.
