i LECTURE By PROFESSOR
NICHOLSON.

On Thursday evening, the 10th inst,
Prof. j. W. Nicholson, President of the
Louisiana State University and A. and
NJ. College at Baton Rouge, ave a
very interesting and instructive lee
ture to tie good people of Thibodaux
and surrounding country.
He began BY giving a short history
of the State institution since its first
opening il the piny woods near Alex
andria, on the North band of the Red
River.
He stated that the supervisors of the
State University had, for several
years, been using every possible eff
fort to make it one of the best and
most efficien. institutions IN the South,
and at the same time one of the least
expensive to the cadets in attendance.
Several new departments of study
have been added, and the most expert
and learned teachers that could be OBJ
tanned have been employed, it having
been practically demonstrated that no
school can be efficient and prosperous,
unless competent teachers have charge
of the students.
All the practical appliances of the
age are at the disposition of the ca
diets, thus furnishing them with object
lessons in every branch of a thorough
course of knowledge.
The cadets are divided into four
military companies, thoroughly and
practically disciplined and drilled by
an officer of the United States Army.
The number of cadets increases at each
session, and the attendance last year
was 1876.
The professor then presented a Sc
ries of stereoptlcon views, illustrating
the college, the grounds, the various
buildings, both within and without. SO
that the audience obtained a very good
idea of the manner in which the diff
ferent educational branches are
taught.
He added a number of views, de-
m~onstrating the various ages of the
world, and its transition from the
time it was formed out of chaos to the
present time, und concluded with the
views of a large number of reptiles
and animals that have long since be-
come extinct, and whose FOSSILS are
now and then found.

UNSOLICITED ADVICE.

The President in his message init
mated very distinctly that one of the
most pressing duties of the Democrat
ic Party, is the revision of the present
Tariff, made expressly for the finan-
cial profit of the millionaire manu-
factureIs and spectators, whilst tie
laborer and w~age-earner of the coun-
try pay the bills.
The Republican leaders, CT late,
have rendered themselves quite GOA
splcuous in advising the Democracy
to leave the Tariff alone.
The people of this Union spoke, in
language that was too plain for mis-
interpretatio,., IN November last, that
this infamous Tariff, made to benefit
the few at the expense of the many,
must he revised and altered so as to
protect as much as possible the mass
es of the people-the laborers and
wage-earners-and not be maintained
simply TO roll rivers of gold into the
pockets OF those who have oceans of it
already. The Republicans are not
the leaders whose advice is sought, at
present. They have been given a
seat in the rear. Let them occupy it
for a few years.

Rice cutting has begun iu earnest in
the parish of Lafourche, and the yield.
although not quite as large as last
year, is very satisfactory; but the
prices are any thing but satisfactory.
MI. Cancienne, just below .'RIenzi" in
the Bourgeois settlement, began cut
ting some eighteen days ago, and has
been much put out by the daily rain.
He shipped some three hundred bar
rels last week, with prices that bring
very little encouragement. If the
prices do not increase so as to make
rice culture il this parish sufficiently
reEumerative, Il planters will aban-
don it entirely, and make cane. to sell
by the ton. With tile prospect of the
several narrow-guage roads about to
be built below Thibodanx on both
sides of the Bayou, sugar-cane is the
coming crop for our little planters,
and a God-send. Let them not put
im~pediments In the way but give it all
possible encouragement, and plant a
small Patch, and get ready.

Agricultural reports all over the
parish are very encouraging. The
ane crop is perhaps u of the larg-
est ever grown in this parish, and is
fully 20 per cent larger than last years.
In some places the cane is already so
tall, that the least wind, where the
earth has been moistened by the rain,
causes the cane to fall fiat to the
ground, and form heavy mattresses.

Odd Things About Money.

There are 100000 old copper
pennies somewhere. Nobody knows
what has become Of them, except once
in a while single specimen turns up
in change. A few years ago 100000
bronze two cent pieces were set aaoat.
Three millions of them are still out
standing. Three million three cent
nlckle pieces are scattered over the u
nited States, but it is very rarely that
one ia seen.
Of 100000 hslf-cents, which corre-
spond in value to English farthings, not
one has been returned to the govern
ment for recoinsge or Is held by the
treasury. Congress appropriates from
800, 900 to $l5o,O0o yearly for recoin-
ing the uncurrent silver coin now in
possession OF the treasury. These are
mostly half. dollars, and are not circu-
lated, because there is no demand for
them.
Not long ago the stock Of them a.
mounted to $26, ,OOGOOc. but it is only
about half that now. The money set
aside for rpcoining is not intended to
pay for the cost of minting, but is re.
quired to reimburse the treasurer of the
United States, on account of the loss OF
weight which silver pieces have suffer-
ed by abrasion. This loss amounts to
$50 on every $1,000, and it has TO be
made good. in order to set the treasur-
er's accounts straight.

HIS MOTHERS SONGS.

HIS MOTHERS SONGS.
. Beneath the hot midsummer sun
The men had marched all day,
And now beside rppling stream
Upon the grass they lay.
Tirng of games and idle jasts,
As swept the hours along,
They called to one who mused apart,
'.Come, friend, givs us song"
81 fear | cannot please" he said;
'The only songs know
Are those my mother used to sing
For me long years ago.
'!Sing one of those," rough voice cried
There's none but true men here;
To every mothers son of us
A mothers songs are dear"
Then sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm,
cam | a older of the Cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
"And shall fear to own His Cause
The very stream was stilled,
And thoughts that never throbbed with feal
Uith tender thoughts were filled.
Ended the song, the singer said,
As to his feet he rose,
'Thanks to you all my friends, good night
God grant us sweet repose."
''Sing us once more,' the captain begged
The soldier bent his head.
Then glancing round with smiling lips,
"Yon'll Join with me-" he said.
Well sing this old familiar air,
Sweet as the bmgle call,
"All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall"
All, wondrous was the old tunes spell
AS on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line,
And loud The voices rang
The songs are done, the camp is still,
Naueht but the stream is heard;
But ab. the depths of every soul
by those old hymns are stirred.
And mp from many bearded lip,
III whispers soft and low.
Rises the prayer the mother taught
Her boy long years ago.
