nearly forty years old. but 1t has never

The idea OF honoring Napoleon for his
great services in the Italian war for
independence and unity was first Gu

national subscription was opened and

sufficient sum was raised and a sculp-

tho temporal sovereignty Of the Popo

him. Though the statue was cast, Moth
Ing was done toward giving it pub

Than came the disaster of 1870 and
the creation OF the French Republic.
Italian Republicans at once declared
that 1t would be heaping insult on the
new regime to erect statue to q
French emperor in one of ltaly's prin-
cipal cities. This view prevailed, and
for nearly forty years Napoleon has
sat on his bronze horse In CRIME aud

After the organization of the
new Police Jury on Tuesday last,
the body adjourned and met as a
Board of Reviewers, and accepted
the assessment rolls as presented
by Assessor H. w. Kappel, which
showed an increase over last
years assessment Of about $780,
600. The reason of this increase
was from the fact that in the sew
eral municipalities throughout
the parish, and especially Frank
I lin, new buildings have been
erected, besides improvements on
properties in these municipalities
and or sugar plantations. Since
the induction of Mr.. Kappel IL
Office he has never had a com
plant against his rolls, and has
proved himself to be an ef1icien
officer and the right man in thu
right place. We predict that wher
Assessor Kappel presents his roll!
before the meeting of the Boart
of Equalizers they will be &C
cepted without any corrections.
