The Morgan Cay Advocate makes
the following suggestion which might
be proftably adopted by Opelousas:
The law relative to tramps should be

ting foot within the city limits of the

Either this, or they should be taken in
charge by the Marshal and be made to

DIR. W. HI. Dalrymple, State Veterin-
AIRY Surgeon was here last week in
vestigating the disease among horses
10 Plaisance, supposed to be glanders,
but which, we are happy to learn, was
not that dread disease, although very
severe type of another disease-the
technical designation of which we have
not learned. The doctors visit here
however, has had beneficial effect in
allaying the fears of our citizens who
were naturally very much alarmed at
this unknown malady, and before leav-
ing, DR.. Dalrymple furnished Mr.. E. M.
BoagHi, the president of our Police
Jury, instructions for disnfection and
other sanitary measures for the eradi-
cation of glanders, which we publish
on our 4th page for the benefit of the
public.
The vigilent president of our Police
jury is entitled to credit for the prompt
action taken in this matter, as well as
his efficient precautionary measures in
circnmscribing and eradicatipg The
small pox here last year. 1t is safe to
say that if his advice had been also fol
lowed some months ago in the manner
of conducting our parish finances, we
would now be in a better financial con
dition, instead of being several thou
sand dollars in debt, as the statement
which will be hyde at the next meet
ing of the Police Jury, will no doubt
establish. We remember distinctly
the words of warning Mr. Bnagni ad-
dressed TO the Police Jury, several
months ago, regarding a reform in it's
financial management, a warming
which was ignored, and the result is
now apparent by the parish having
already run several thousand dollars
in debt.

When the rich man is called from

vides them as lie a0ills, among his
children and other legatees. But an
equal Providence deals net 80 with the
living treasures of the mind. There
are children jnst growing up 70 the
bosom of obsrurity, in town and coun-
try, who have inherited nothing but
poverty and health, and who will, 10 a
few years, be striving in stern conten-
ton with the great intellects of the
land. Our System of free schools has
opened straight way from the TIRES
hold of every abode, however humble,
in the village or in the city, to the
high places of usefulness, influence
and houor. And il is left for each, by
the cultivation of euery talent, by
watching with an eagle eye, for every
chance of improvement, by bounding
forward like greyhound, at most dis
tant glimpses of honorable opportunity,
by graphing as with hooks; the prize
when it is won; by r"deeming time,
by defyipg temptation, and scorniDg
sensural pleasures TO make himself
useful, honored aud happy. These re-
Elections are not intended as a conces-
sion that the system of our public
schools is perfect. Whilst they are
greatly useful, many improvements are

The right education of woman is of
the utmost Importance to human life.
There is nothing that is more desirable
for the common good of oil the world !;
since as she is mother and mistress of
families, she has for some time the care
of the education of her children of both
sexes. She is interested with that
which is of the greatest consequence
to human life. AS the health and
strength, or weakness of our bodies, is
very much owing to her methods Of
treating as when we were young so
the soundness or folly of our minds is
not less owing to her first temper
and ways of thinking, which we ca
gerly received from the loue, tender
authority and constant csnversa-
ton of our mothers. AS we call our
fist language our mother tongue, SO we
may as Justly call our first tempers our
mother tempers and perhaps it may be
formed more easy to forget the Ian
guage, than to part entirely with those
fen.pers we learned in the nursery. Ii
is therefore to be lamented, that the
sex on whom so much depends, who
have the first forming both of our
bodies and our minds, are not
only educated in pride, but also in the
silliest and most contemplate part of
it. Girls are INDUCED in great vanity,
and mankind seem to consider them in
no other view than as so mahy painted
idols, who are to allure and crafty

Ignorance is undoubtedly the most
abundant source of our sufferings
Every person. accustomed to the sick,
must have heard them deplore their ig-
norance of the necessary consequences
of those practices, by which their
health has been destroyed and when
men shall be deeply convinced, that
the eternal laws of nature have con-
nected pain and decrepitude with one
mode Of life, and health and vigOr with
another they will avoid the former,
and adhere to the latter. Of course
there may be exceptional instances.
1t is strange however, to observe, that
the generality of mankind, do not seem
to bestow single thought on the pre-
servation of their health, till it is too
late to reap any benefit from their con-
vi etion. If knowledge of this kind
were generally ditased, people would
