1t is not often that the citizens OF
Lafourche have such an experience in
cold weather as they have had since
the seventh of this February when the
cold wave arrived without 60 much as
saying "beg Your leave.n
For five days there was substantial
ice each morning. the ground frozen
sufficiently hard to bear wagons and
carts, and for a good part of the time
tho freezing process was continued
duling the day. In the Northeu and
Western States the temperature here
would have been considered q luxury.
Shows covered more than one half
the soil Of the United States, IN some
sections four to six feet in depth. The
weather here can give the people an
idea Of what the residents in the West
ern and Northern States undergo every
winter, not one spell, but time and
again. At some points for ten DAYS
the mercury remained below zero,
which was Is to 40 degrees lower that
it reached with us.

1t there is anything calculated to
cause a modern soldier to feel tired. it
10 to read an account of the Chinese
valor and soldierly bearing 10 the
present war between China and japan.
The Chinese are 500 years behind
time. A regiment that was engaged
in the late val in this country could
march through the Chinese Empire,
on a fr0lic.
The Chinese know no more of mod
ern warfare than a pig does of Mahom-
cts Heaven. They have no arms fit
to go upon q field, no officers or
leaders.
When a general gets whipped, he
kills himself. Why if that had been
the rule 10 our civil war, there would
not have been a general or a colonel
left by the time the war was conclud-
ed.
The sooner the Chinese are whipped
out Of their wooden shoes and taught
. little common sense, the better for
them and for civilization.

Tie painful news reached ms on last
Wednesday morning that Father
LetilIy, the worthy pastor OF St. Sau-
.eur Cathalic Church, lei LOckport,
is dangerously sick. He fell uDcon-
sci"us on last" Sunday evening and
remained in that state for forty-eight
h"urs, when he somewhat revived.
There is, according to report, very
little hope Of his recovery. This is
sad news, indeed. We sincerely hope
it is not as bad rs reported. and that
he will c"me back to good health
again. to be able to continue the good
work he has 40 faithfully performed
for q number of years.
News Of yesterday morning are still
less encouraging.

THE PARISH TEACHERS III.
BRARY.

And now We have finished answering
the questions given in the late (?)
teachers examination, and will turn
our attention to something which will
probably he o interesting. We
have invited the teachers of the rar
isb. time and again, to help us out in
this undertaking. We have even made
it almost impossible for one who is in
sympathy with the work he or she is
engaged 10 to keep from sending us a
few lines for this column. and YET, no
one Of the many teachers in the parish
has penned a line for this column.
When we undertook the task of ed
iting q column in the interest of edu-
cation, a subject which has been ne.
elected so long in this section of the
country. we expected that the teachers
Of the parish would help us. Are we
mistaken 7 Is it possible that the
teachers will not take any interest IN
their work except to draw their salaryi
Mr.. Superintendent. did you ever
know a teacher to fail to write you or
send in his report when his month was
out ! The teacher who teaches for the
money he receives, aud for that only,
has missed his calling. But we must
be paid or we would soon have to hunt
other occupation in order to make the
means for our support, and We will
never be paid a salary commensurate
with the responsibility of our calling
until We educate ourselves in the
science aud art Of teaching. We, who
have not had the advantages of q nor
NAL school training, can do this in no
way but in reading, and exchanging
ideas with n another. For the for
