UNITED CONFEDERATE VET
ERANS.

As will be seen by notice in an
other column, : meeting Of Gen
Geo. Norman Camp, U. c. ",
will be held in Covington, next
Saturday, May 1. Among other
matters Of interest, the subject Of
the establishment of . National
Memorial Association will be con
sidered. Its objects will lie fully
understood by the following ex-
tract from General Orders No. 4 j:
Let it be understood that the
contemplated Memorial will in no
wise antagonize, but rather supple
ment the existing Memorial organi-
cations throughout the late Confed-
crate states.
As well said by Conrad Rouss !:
1.-THE mementos of the struggle Of
the South and the evidences Of her
glorious prowess IN the field are
scattered broadcast over the coun-
try. Should they not be collected
and provision he made for their
preservation rs . rich inheritance
for our children and = patriotic OBJ
ject lesson for generations to
Gomez" To this eloquent appeal
We believe the responsive answer
Of all true ex-Confederates will be,
Yes! Then as our ranks are being
rapidly thinned by the Sycle Of
Time, lei the comparative few Of "
that remain at once take the matter
in hand, and labor for the realiza-
ton Of the prophetic vision and
Joyous hope OF she patriotic orator,
Senator Daniel, Of Virginia in the
contamination Of complete Battle
Abbey, in which the "iigure of
Jefferson DAVIS shall be the CEN
trail object, and around which shall
be grouped heroic relics OF the
battles OF the Confederacy, and the
pictured faces and sculptured forms
Of the great and true and brave
men who fought them. An unGying
memorial Of the people who fought
their own battles in their own way,
for their own liberty as they con-
ceived it, for their own independ-
once - they desired it, and who
need give to the world no other
reason whv."

HIGH SCHOOL WANTED.

As We have remarked on . NUM-
Der Of occasions in the past, Cow
ington 10 sadly in need Of ! first
class High School, with careful and
experienced teachers in the various
departments. We have good
private and public schools, which are
well enough 50 far IS they go, but
with . building suitable for the pur-
pose, each department in charge Of
teachers Of well-known ability.
there is no reason why Covington
should not become a great educa
tional center, As well as a popular
health resor::. A suitable location
could doubtless be had for the ask
ing, and such and establishment
would be . great advertising card
for the town. The want of it has
caused many good people to go
elsewhere, in order to enjoy these
advantages. Such an institution
would tend to advance the value
Of real estate. It would afford the
best school facilities to those Of our
citizens who are unable to send
their children abroad, or are un-
willing to do 50, and would save to
those who have the means the ex-
pense of maintaining their children
At boarding schools, besides the ad-
vantage Of having them under home
influence. Such . school would be
patronized By the entire parish, and
doubtless many would send their
children here from New Orleans.
But in order to accomplish this,
the school should he complete in all
its appointments, with an able corps
Of professors, and every facility
afforded for securing . thorough
practical education. Unless this
is done, those who can afford to do
70 will continue to send their child
rem away from home to be educa-
ted. There is , good opening here
for = first-class graded school, and
in the hands Of the proper persons,
We believe it would be a paying in
vestment.

EVANGELIST MOODY PRAYS
FOR RAIN AND 1T POURS.
TlnBERs GIVE WAY AND MANY
PxRsoxs BURIED IN THE RUINS.

Forth Worth, Tex, April 21.-
All Texas has needed rain, 90 the
great evangelist. Dwight Moody,
called upon his audience Of 5000
Christians to pray fervently that
the doodgates might be opened.
This was At 8 p. m. to-day. To-
night. whep the tabernacle was
crowded by 10000 people FROM
Fort Worth and surrounding cities,
Mr.. Moody announced that word
had come from several points that
rain had fallen. A few minutes
later the storm burst on Fort
Worth and torrents Of rain fell.
Then Mr.. Moody gave thanks to
God and called upon the con gregs-
ton to join in singing Coronation"
and "All Hail the Power Of Jesus'
Name, Let Angels PROSTATE FALL"
The song had surged forth from
1000 voices when . cracking
noise WAS heard, then . part Of the
root sunk and the rafters gave way
and the heavy ,imbers aud boards
covered with tar aud gravel came
dewn on = portion Of the congrega-
ton. There was = panic. Scores
upon scores Of women tainted.
Some men lost their heads and
piled pell NELL ON these near them.
Mr.. Moody grasped the situation.
and moving to the middle Of the
platform lifted bOth hands to
heaven, moving his arms to and fro
His attitude aud coolness stopped
The panic and men began to rescue
those in danger A drenching rain
was falling, but they worked hard
and the wounded were soon taken
put and sent to their homes or
houses Dear by.

SMALL TROUBLES.

A philosopher suggests that il
you would keep . book and every
day put down things that worry you
and see what becomes Of them. il
would be q benefit 10 You. You
allow . thing to annoy you just a
vow allow . fly to settle on yon and
plague you. and you lose your
temper and you Justify yourself in
being thrown OF your balance by
causes which you do not trace out.
But, if You would see what it was
that threw you of your balance, and
put it down in your little book, xnd
follow out and see what becomes
Of it, you would see what = fool
YOU were in the matter. The art
OF forgetting is \ blessed art, but
the art of overlooking is quite rs
important. And il we should take
time to write down the origin. pro-
cress and outcome Of few Of our
troubles, it would make US ashamed
OF the fuss we made over them, and
We should be glad to drop such
things and bury them 1t once in
eterna forgetfulness. Life is too
short to be worn out In petty
worries, frettings. hatreds and vexa-
lions. Nurse virtues and reasons
bic recrea:ions, and keep in touch
With pleasant friends who are not
always and talking con-
OF their bodily trou hles.

NAY IN LOUISIANA.

From the records Of the past
seven years the Weather Bureau
has compiled the following Informs
ton concerning the month OF May
in this State:
May has an average temperature Of
IS degrees for the State at large.
the average Of North Louisiana be-
ing p, and for South Louisiana "A,
and while the average maximum
temperatures vary by less than l
degree, between the two sections Of
the State. yet there is = range Of
I IL degrees between the average
minimums, the nights being that
much cooler in North Louisiana.
There Is no May on record for
the State that has not given highest
daily temperatures Of above 30 de-
grees, and there is record Of 1Ol
in the interior OF South Louisiana
back in 1889. But an average
0f maximum temperatures Of seven
years gives . mean maximum tenn
perature of 81 degrees for the State
for the month against an average
minimum of 81. The lowest tenn
perature recorded during any May
Of the past seven years was SO in
1892 and 1894, and occurred in the
interior OF the State.
There is . difference OF only 2 l-2
degrees between the warmest and
the coolest May since 1887, May
Of 1891 having been the coolest,
while May Of 1894 was the warm
est.
The rainfall averages 3 ! 2 inches
for the State for the month, and
this average is maintained in both
northern and southern portions,
there being no perceptible differ
ence in the average Of the two Sec
tions. May Of 1891 gave the low
est average fall. amounting to less
than l inch, while May Of 1893,
with an average Of slightly over
6 l-2 inches, is the heaviest fall on
record.
There are generally fourteen
days clear, ten partly cloudy, seven
cloudy aud SIX on which appriciable
rain falls.
