IN. B.-My horse performed

The reader, hope, will make
due allowance for this allusion to
family history, but the writer
finds in many instances, upon
making investigation among the
meager annals of Louisiana,
many interesting facts which
have been forgotten or omitted.
What a pleasure it would prove
to some member of that gener-
Gus old French gentleman's fami-
| ly were his name known! What a
feeling of pride would arise in
the minds and hearts of the sur
vivOrs of the few gallant and he
roic dead of the skirmish and
battle of New Orleans were they
recorded in the histories of
Louisiana! Where are those
names written? Who was the
first to fall in defense of this
great city? Where stands the
shaft upon which these noble
names are inscribed?
Let some of our historians ask
our gallant ex-Confederate Cap
tain and noble minded citizen of
this city, Colonel A. J. Lewis,
whose great grandfather on the
mothers side, a Mr.. Lawson,
was slain in the battle, who were
among the first to fall upon that
ever memorable day.
These facts should be made
known to all Louisianians.

New Orleans After JaCkSOn'S Victory.
From N. o. Picayune.

A few days ago the writer was
requested by one of his own
name, who lives in the adjoining
State of Mississippi, to furnish
him the names of his (the writ
er's) father and grandfather and
their place of residence before
coming to Louisiana. In order
to comply with the request, 1t
became necessary to refer to the
genealogical history of my faml-
ly as far back as to the entry of
the name in the Spanish terrific
ry, known as the Felicianas, or
Florida territory.
Coming from North Carolina
through Tennessee to MISSISSIPPI
ri, thence to Louisiana, in the
179Os, my grandfather, William
Barrow, was the first to come
and settle in the Felicianas, now
Fast and West Feliciana Par
ishes. West Feliciana is where
the old homestead is situated,
which is still occupied by some
of the family. The eldest, and
first that came out from Caro-
lima, was followed by his two
brothers, Bennett and BarthOlo

State Printing Contract to be Investigated.

Representative L. E. Thomas
of CaddO parish has presented a
concurrent resolution in the
house to provide for an immedi-
ate investigation of the state
printing, and the postponement
of the contract award until July
/. The measure introduced by
Mr.. Thomas is as follows:
Whereas, The public print
ing for the state of Louisiana for
the past two years has cost the
state an amount considerably ex-
ceeding 100000, and there is re,
ported q deficiency to be provid-
ed for exceeding $4,000,
BE it resolved by the house
of representatives, the senate
concurring, That a special COM
mittee of five be appointed, three
from the house and two from the
senate, two of whom must be
practical printers and neWspa-
pers publishers, which commit
tee shall carefully examine the
printing contracts for the past
four years, the manner of letting
same, the prices, work done and
for whom one, as we'll as all laws
bearing on the subject of print
ing or requiring printing to be
done, and report within ten days
to their respective bodies their
findings, conclusions reached,
with such recommendations as
they deem necessary as to
changes in existing statutes as
we'll as in the contracts hereto
fore let, so that as large an
amount of money may be saved
to the state of Louisiana as pos,
sible; and to this end they are
granted full power to send fol
books and papers as we'll as to
summon and examine all wit
nesses that may be necessary tC
ascertain the true facts in con
nection with this subject matter
Further resolved, That pend
ing this investigation and report
as well as the action of the gen
eral assembly thereon, the state
printing board is instructed te
reject any and all bids for state
printing of any kind whatsoever
and that the same be held iI
allegiance until July /, 1908, as
the present contract does not Elk
pire until August l, 1908, and nj
precipitate haste appears to be
necessary, when by the slight
delay a large amount of money
can be saved for the state o.

out in a mass. Only ten men of
a company we're left for a patrol.
My father took his gun and two
days provision on Christmas
Day, ready to march to New Or
leans, but was detailed as one of
the patrol. Soon after our troops
arrived from Tennessee and
from this State, the British land
ed six miles below New Orleans,
and thence cnsued a skirmish,
the people Of New Orleans bear
ing the brunt of it, and suffered
pretty much, as our men in the
dark frequently took one another
for the enemy.
Our men still retained the
field, after losing some men
killed and prisoners, tho the
number is not as yet ascertained.
On the Sth inst. the enemy made
a formidable attack on our men
whilst behind their entrench

have since repented, as they lost
in killed, wounded and prisoners
about two thousand, among
whom we're their first three of

The Call Of the Wild.

When the agents of the United
States government recently went to
Pueblo Cochiti, In New Mexico, for
the purr ose of warning their Indian
wards against the practice of wife
beating, hitherto prevalent in that
aboriginal settlement, they were met
with the astonished inquiry, "Well,
what ehall we do when our wives are
disobedient?"
1t te Characteristic of the simple
aboriginal nature to state thus sim
ply one OF the problems that is dis
trsssiag world wide humanity today.
The savage meets his simple pro.
blems simply. Food, raiment, shell
ter are bare necessities Of life and to
secure them he depends upon merely
physical qualities with the smallest
possible amount of mental effort. No
problems of psychology or ethics
disturb the savage mind. and the
Wsak n ruled BY the fist, II not by
the superior mentality of the strong.
Whnn civilization supplants saw
aeery, new and complex problems
Asiss. New factors enter into the
sQuation, many Of them unknown,
some o. them unreal as the radical
OF Q negative, and the solution is not
esay.
Civilization will 6ud it difficult to
answer the naive inquiries Of the
CcchitenOs
What shall we do when our wives
are disubedient?"
Wa don't know.
Nobody knows. - Pueblo Chieftain.

Are Meeting Trouble.

The contractors constructing the
new steel and cement bridge over
the Poudre river at Oak street are
meeting with all kinds Of difficulties
in the work. Four big pieces of old
timber have been found deep In the
mud and sand, where the excavations
are being made for the two piers, and
1t has been only with the greatest
difficulty that these distractions
we're removed, and the WORK was
delayed q couple Of weeks by these
difficulties.
The piers are being put down to
solid foundation and owing to the
character of the bottom Of the river
the matter of keeping the water out
side OF the Golfer dam Is q serious
problem. Two steam pumps are
kept going all the time and even
then tie water can hardly be kept
down so as to permit the workmen
to perform their duties.
