A Conceded Fact.

Whenever the christian and religious
ladies take hold of any project having
for its object the advancement of soci-
ETY., success almost infallibly waits on
effort. One reason is that they are ac-
tuated by strong and ardent convictions
of rectitude. They are impressed with
the fact that they are the inspiring
agents of the chtrch militant; that their
| influence is unbounded in the direction
of moral training and the practice of
religious precepts; that from them ra-
diate all the genial aud humanizing
prOmptings of our social nature.
One of England's sweetest singers has
asked,
without the smiles from partial beauty won,
Oh what were man A world without a SUM-"
We are prompted to make these re-
marks because We have heard that the
ladies of Opelousas have determined to
have school houses erected, in which to
have their children taught. Their
hearts bleed when they see their tender
offspring crowded in incommodious and
uncomfortable rooms, seated on hard
stools and benches and without ade-
quate protection from the prying wintry
winds.
They sympathize, too, with the faith |
ful, diligent teachers who, subjected to
the same inconveniences and punish-
ment, pass long and dreary hours each
day in ceaseless efforts to make the lit
tie ones comfortable, while they plant
the seeds of thought in the virgin soil
Of their intellect.

Of your kind and humane purpose is

The Italian government will demand
satisfaction for the killing of lot of
their subjects in New Orleans. That
government has heen trying for forty
years to get its hands on the members
of the Malta, and when it succeeded it
put then out of the way about as expedi-
tiously as the New Orleans mob did.
Most of the Malta in this country are
fugitives from Italy, from whence they
fled for their lives. We shall always
look upon the Italian government as an
example of the basest ingratitude if it
doesn't thank the people of New Orleans
for their work in its behalf.-Forth

We desire to call the attention of the
public to one sample of the reprehensi-
ble methods employed by the st. Ian
dry Clarion, the anti-lottery paper pub
llshed here, towards those who differ
with it on public questions. In its last
issue that paper copied from the patent
inside of our neighbor, the Courier, a
paragraph purporting to give the views
of correspondent of some New York
paper concerning the Louisiana Lottery
said views being derogatory to that
concern-and then proceeded to COM
ment upon it in its usual unfair way,
treating it as an editorial utterance of
the Courier and leaving its readers un-
der the impression that it was such.
The Clarion knew very we'll that the
Courier does not print its editorials on
its patent inside, no more than the Cla-
rion does, and most newspaper readers
are also aware of that fact; but the Cla-
rion carefully concealed from it's read
ers the material fact that it found this
article on its neighbor's patent side and
while guilty of grossly unprofessional
conduct toward that paper, which places
it outside the pale of decent journalism,
the deception practiced upon it's readers
is even more despicable and reprehen-
sible.

Respectfully dedicated to the men,

Considerable CONSERVATION was crea.
ated among our people last Friday
when the report was circulated that a
young man hailing from San Antonio,
Tex, and who had been in town for
several days, had smallpox. He was
at once provided with funds and sent
on his way homeward. The Park Ho-
tel, where he was stopping, was fami-
gated, disinfected and abandoned, and
every means taken to prevent the
spread of the loathsome disease. The
landlady, Mrs. Generes, and her family,
at once removed to the old Franklin
College, on the outskirts of town, and
have been isolated there ever since.
We have heard of no other case, and
none is likely to occur; but in order to
be on the safe side many of our people
have had themselves vaccinated "a
wise precaution.
As to the innocent cause of all this
trouble. bis subsequent movements are
related in dispatch from Lafayette
published in last Tuesdays Picayune.
1t says:
A few days since a man apparently
with smallpox arrived in this
town, blt remained only short time,
being induced by the authorities to
leave. The man is DOW near Scott and
bas been entirely isolated, due to the
prompt measures taken by the citizeps
there. .
The board of health met to-day and
took steps to prevent any spread of the
disease. DR.. Mayer reports the sick
man in q fair way towards recovery,
snd that with proper care he will be
able to leave in few days for bis home
