killed by Military.
The serious view which the British
government takes of the conditions in
Cape Colony was evinccl by the procla-
nation contained in the gazette establish
ing martial law in the districts of Cane
Town, Wynberg, Simonstown, Port Eliz-
abeth and East London.
The proclamation is the outcome of the
recent visit of the premier of Cape COL
ony, Sir John Gordon Sprigg, and the
under secretary of native affairs in South
Africa, ]. Rose lines, and the British
high commissioner, Lord Miner. 1t places
under military control the few points in
Cape Colony hitherto exempted, and the
constitution, therefore, is now suspended
over the entire colony.
The action taken probably foreshadows
the commencement of vigorous measures
which those on the spot are understood to
believe necessary to end the war;

Thanks TO that broad Christian
charity, which enobles man and
makes the world better, 500 Of the
children Of the poor Of the city Of
New Orleans have been taken from
their squalid homes to enjoy the
bounty Of Nature. Five hun
dred little boys and girls were, per-
haps f". the FIRST time in their lives,
given an opportunity to know that
clean water and pure air are as free
to them as to the offsprings Of the
rich. The Times Democrat, and
the noble men and women who
assisted that enterprising journal.
have done : work of real charity.
They have brought happiness to
500 young hearts, which have. for
the first time, felt the warmth of
that grea; love tor humanity upon
which all true religion is founded.
The benefits of the trip to the gulf
to the little ones can not be over
estimated. Morally, physically and
intellectually it will do them good.
If kept up, it will make better citi-
zens of them. 1t will make them
feel that the s'Fatherhood of Cod"
and the Brotherhood of man" is
something more than an invention
of the upper classes.

Satisfactorily Settled.

AS will be seen in the proceedings of the
Board OF Health the ordinance, adopted re-
lative to the poisonous water which is thrown
into the bayou by the refneries, will not in
terfere with the operation Of those industies.
IT appears that the large volume of water
which hnds its way from the refinery to the
bayou contains no poison and is not injurious
to the fish. 1t seems that the acidulsted
water which is SO destructive to the fish, can
be easily disposed of without allowing it to
run into the bayou. The solution of the
trouble was eminently satisfactory to Jud &c
O. c. Mouton, who represented the rehneries
before the Board, and to the health author
tiles, as there was no disposition either
side to be unreasonable.

Scarcity of Labor.

A planter living in the vicinity of La

SO scarce in this section that if something is
not done it will be impossible to harvest the
cotton and cane crops. 1t is stated on good
authority that farmers have not been aole
to secure laborers to gather corn at one
dollar per day. The gentleman who spoke
to us about this matter suggests that the
president of the Farmers Association call
meeting of that organization for the purpose
of discussing the question and adopting
some remedial measures.
