more dangerous. The attacks on Italy
came principally from the Prussian

that financial combinations put a check
on the good will that should exist be-
tween France and Italy. All this is
only a misunderstanding, as are also
the difficulties over commercial ques-

asserted that Italy wishes to place the
match to the powder mine. This is alb
surd. Nothing allows Italy to go to war.
Neither her budget, which is SO badly

reason. We are too young a nation to
risk such a venture. We have sacri-

eve have accomplished too much in
the way OF progress during the last
twenty-four years to risk comprOmis-
ing our pacific conquest in a single day.
We don't, alas, possess such a budget as
that of France, which permits her to in
cur all kinds of expenses and which
may, perhaps, M day arouse in You
who have a larger army and stronger
ornaments, warlike aspirations, which
are not and cannot be ours. 1t is neces-

also shared by the Emperors of Ger

"What sovereign could wish, with
the present condition of armament and
constant improvement of artillery. to
launch his people into war. To which
ever side victory might fall it would be
SO horrible it would bring with it such
hecatombs of dead and such rivers of
blood that no Emperor, no King, could
contemplate it for his armies without a
shudder. Yes, all Europe desires peace,
and has every reason to desire it. We
will always think of France, in spite of
the light clouds which at one time came
between us, as a friend and neighbor,
who fought for us and by whose side
our children have fought. My soldiers
have not forgotten the French soldiers,
with whom they incurred the same dan
gers and Won the same glory. We have
not effaced from our history the battles
of Solferino and Magenta. In future it
will be recognized on both sides Of the
Alps that this friendship still cndures
in spite of all. 1t will be found to have
become all the stronger by the lapse of
years, because we are two southern ma

Mr.. Boatner and the Union Pacific R.R
A recent New Orleans letter to the
Monroe Telegraph-Bulletin says:
Glnrui EIoruIi Hnlloln;aLi

A recent New Orleans letter to the
Monroe Telegraph-Bulletin says:
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah y!
The day of r%etribution has come!
At last a soulless, grasping, thieving
corporation is about to be brought to
book. The wheelhorse Of sound demo-
cracy in North Louisiana, Hon. c. j.
BOatner, is after tue monumental thief
of the age-the Union Pacific Railroad
the corporation that has absorbed mil
lions Of the peoples money, and which
by reason of its wealth and power has
heretofore defed public opinion and
violated every principle of common
honesty, because none of the so-caiIed
representatives Of the people dared to
attack it-whether through fear of its
influence or from other cause %deponent
knoWeth not.
Now that Mr.. Boatner is e~ndeavoring
to throttle the monster, it's creatures
great and snall-are snarling and snap
ping at his heels. To-day in this city l
heard a man prominent in local ring
politics say that Boatner was counting
politically, as the railroad would use it's
vast powers, political and financial, to
thwart his aspirations for a seat in the
United States Senate, in which chamber
he would be far more powerful in the
prosecution of his crusade against fraud
and dishonesty than in his present place
in the lower branch of congress-. Here
is food for thought for all honest men.
y When a corporation gets to be SO pow
erful as to feel it can say " the public be
damned" and al upright, fearless pub
lie servant, with the courage of his con-
victiOns, attempts to unmask it's villainy
and hypocrisy and expose it's dishonesty
in all its hideous nakedness with a view
to compelling it to disgorge and make
restitution Of it's ill-gotten gains, it be-
hooves his constituents to stand by him,
to uphold and strengthen his arms in
the good fight by their unanimous and
pnwaveIing support, and see to it that
his laudable ambition for political ad-
.'vancementb be furthered, more especially
where that advancement will the better
enable him to compass the desirable end
all have in view.
. IfeeEconfident that in this instance
North Louisiana will honor itself by
doing honor to it's noble son in giving
Boatner a solid vote for United States
Senator.

Confederate Veterans to Meet at Bir-
mingham.-It will be a Great
Reunion.

This will be q great gathering OF the
over the south. Birmingham has made
of the visitors. The "Winnie Davis
Wigwam will be headquarters, and as
Birmingham has most superior hotel &C
commodations and its people are most
h%ospitable, there is nothing now left
but a good time in sight.
Nearly all Of the prominent generals
of the confederacy now alive will he
there to meet their old comrades.
The Birmingham reunion has been
greatly talked of in all points of the
south, and frequently alluded to.
At the unwilling of the monument to
General John B. Magruder, at Calves
ton, Tex, April 18th. Genersl J. M. Waul
t%ouchingly referred to the reunion in u.
country where.peaco reigns eternally.
And those who attend the reunion at
Birmingham may we'll adopt his beauti-
full and patriotic sentiments:
"This day brings us ont day neare a
reunion with the good and the brave
who, having fought their last battle,
are now reposing in the calm sunlight
of peace and rest eternal. Ere another
year rolls around some OF us now pres

this day SO freely and Iavishly bestowed

Der, tor'it is Il pleasant thought for rec
objection, that no crusader of the true
cross, no Knight Templar of the age of
cliyalry, followed their standard with
greater devotion than we did our below
ed red cross, now folded and draped,
and in its sad folds more to be worship
ed than when it Haunted in the breeze.

Navarro eve appeared in the midst of
the fight where the balls flew thickest
and deaths brief pang was quickest
All is over Let il rest an emblem of a
sacred and stainless past. Loyal to Il
impulses, clcrishing the friendships and
guarding the traditions that are gone,
responding "a best We ma, to the obi
cations "t III" present and with manly
aspirations let us await with compnsnre
the final summons, hoping to deserve
and receive the lofty tribute, whether

There is five times as much profit in
mutton as in the fleece. A sheep may
be fed ~one-seventh Of the food that an
OK requires, and will make a growth of
nearly three-quarters of a pound a day
for the $50 days of it's life, when it be-
comes excellent mutton. For six hun
dred days it will make nearly a half
pound a day such sheep will net six
cents a pound at the farm but such
sheep, too, having a large carcass, will
have a large fleece in proportion.-Col-
