.tese pity the many sufferers caused by
III pdatlon. During the last political
ca lpaIgn we did our best to get th.
mnsns of building and keeping up the
neg tssary levees, but those who took
ahnd against us, on what NAV be
calIsAt mount morality, sno,ced us uuder.
ahoHe ebhed off into silence with all
Cher9mpIacency we could. We some
I'hl wonder if the unfortunate suffer
efs ould not be glad to have the relief.
Wfs ,pen believed they might accept

shlF of very large portion of the mosr
,airbductiVe sections Of Louisiana the
Z essibility Of low prices for crops and q
chance for the imposition OF heavy tax
les to meet the expenses of the state
government. ETC., we are curious to
learn how the people can prosper and
how the PnbIic schools are to be kept
up. We say we are curious on the sub
ject, but of course are not at all dubi-
ous, because we have the most positive
assurance of there being full treasury
and Of abundant revenues. This
assurance comes from all the best,
and exclusively honest men in the State,
so that the feat is beyond all
lingering of donbt, feasible. A tour OF
two of inspection by the Governor, to
tho most important levee districts, may
have wonderful effect upon the tur-
bulent waters.
William tile Testy, who was at one
time governor Of New Amsterdam,
quieted the lawlessness of his subjects
by the prompt illumination Of official
proclamations-: and it may be that in
this age of astounding progress, Gov
ernor Foster can cause the watefs t.
subside-driye the cray. fish, and
nuskrats from the levees, as St. Pat
rick did the frogs aud snakes from Ire.

necromancer, which we were assured
he would show himself to be, rebuild
he leyees and revive and re-instate th.
crops. We know the people will no.
be imposed upon by the increase O

that Pedagogues will enjoy halcyol

As Mr.. Ware has succeeded III OBJ
tanning an abundant supply OF good
water, at depth to insure its con-
tinuance indefinitely, we are thereby
assured that we will have an ice fac
tory erected and put in operation IN
short time. 1t is we'll under way, and
we may soon expect to get ice at AL
times on demand and at price at once
fairly remunerative to the factory, and
within the reach of consumers gen
orally. The necessity for importing II
heretofore, has made it somewhat
extensive, and the wonder has been
that vendors sold it as low as they did.
Opelousas is progressing step by step,
and we believe the time is not very
remote, wlfen we may be able to
correctly style it city. If all those
who own real estate within it's corpor.
ate limits, could be brought to realize
that every substantial and enduring
Improvement serves to increase and
enhance the value of their lots, II
would seem to follow that they would
readily add the qualification arising
from ornamentation.
The side walks are still an eye sore
and disgrace. The old should improve
them for the use of their families, il iol
nothing else the young shonld do i
for pleasuE7ble promenades, and al
should do it from pride and love ol
deCency.

Negroes in the Iorth.

The Philadelphia Telegraph recent
ly complained that crime, has Increased
IN that city with the growth of the ne.
gro population, aud suggests as an ex~
pIanation that the negroes were barred
out of so many occupations by white
labor unions and societies thtH neces-
sity drove them into crime.
At q large negro meeting III PhlIa'
delphia the other night leading white
citizen, Judge Gordon, delivered All
address in which he told his hearers
that their large proportion of criminals
was due to the fact that they lived III
the slums alongside of the most degra
ded whites. He advised them to move
to neighborhoods at least ordinarily
virtuous and recommended them to
become mechanics and quit carrying
deadly weapons. He also told them
that they should hold Christian mar
riage in higher esteem.
The address was we'll received, huI
race prejudice is SO strong in PhiIadel-
phia aud other northern cities that the
negroes living there do not have half
a chance. In the south they can en-
ter any occupation and earn their liv-
ing in their own way. 1t is not so in
the north. In that section the white
unions and societies rule the negro out
of almost every profitable line of en-
ployment, and he is, therefore, forced
10 do tho lowest menial labor or be-
come a vagrant or D criminal. We
doubt whether the whites of Philadel,
phia would allow the negroes to fol-
low Judge Gordon's advice and move
into better neighborhoods. The dom
inant prejudice confdos them to the
slums of the city.

a New Wrinkle in Potato
Planting.

n. 0. picayune,
A report has been published of an
interesting agricultural experiment
made last season by French scientist.
He pnt his seed cuttings for crop Of
Irish potatoes into II ISOLATION Of f
pounds of saltpetre, s pounds Of sui
phate of ammonia and 25 gallons of wa
Ter, and allowed them to soak for "A
hours. He then Jet them drain q whole
day that the buds might swell before
planting. He put them into the ground
10 the usual way and obtained a crop
of forty two tons of potatoes to The
acre. What fertilizers and cultivation
be used are not stated, tho immensity
of the crop being attributed to the
treatment of the seed before planting
It might be an experiment worth try,
ing ia this country.

In matters of civil government, the

the great importance of looking Jeai-
ously to the qualifications OF those

ernment. Yet, we send representatives
20 the Legislatures and to Congress
who are in no way sufficiently informed
to properly meet all the exigences oil
tbeir positions. They know nothing
Of the causes of the rise and growth OF
states aud nations. Eothing Of what
constitutes their glory and happiness
and nothing of the causes which IN all
history have caused their decienation

be seen that its rapid growth, its won.
derfnl progress in the arts and
sciences-its stimulating policy-tht
