THANKBGIVING DAY,
Today has been set apart by the President
as a day of national thanksgiving to Almighty
Ood' for the blessings that have been vouch
safed the American people during the past
year. and an appropriate observanco of it has
bIn conmenttled to the people of Louisiana
by ( ov. Nicholls.
Every year since the war Thanksgiving
Day hles ,een regularly appointled by the
I'rosidtot and observed throughout the North
as an occasion of great rejoicing and with
universal exprelsions of popular gratitude.
But during these twelve years with ius of thh
Houth the lday has rather been one o humillla
tion and prnyer than of rejoicing and ex
ultation. Dullring this weary time the
refrain that has welled utp froni the Houthern
heart Ihas not been a ,gudera.mas, but that
sadd'est and most tragic chorus of the itr
i,'icH. Through these years we have been
mute, even as those who seat down by the
waters of Babylon and wept when they re
membered Zion; our harps were "hanged
upon the willows," and when "they that ear
ieod us away captive required of us a srong,
and they that wasted us required of us mirth,"
we could not respond, "For how could we
sing the Lord's song in a strange land ?"
But this year we have to celebrate our de
liverance. For the first time In twelve long
years have we been appointed a day of
thanksgiving by a (Governor of our own
choosing. Heretofore it has been but a
mockery to call upon a people for rejoicing
whose hearts were full of supplication, and
whose heads were bowed in humiliation and
sorrow under strokes from the goad God's
hand; who cried out with one accord. "Oh,
Lord! why hast Thou forsaken me ?" and
who kept their faith only through remem
braneo that. "whom the Lord loveth he chas
teneth." To-day, though, all is changed at
length, and from a happy and enfrantchied
people will go up soags of joy and gratitude,
while we bend in reverential prayer to the
(fiver of all g.)d.
,Y IS IT A DROPSY OR A HEDGEHOG ?
on The illusions of the humaq mind present
1s some of the most remarkable and instructive
of phenomena which have excited the wonder
=u of the worl( and enlisted the attention and
n !investigations of scientists. The medical
text books and periodicals of every nation are
replete with the fanciful and grotesque ideas,
,sometimes beautiful, sometimes tender and
affecting, and at others disgusting and lu
;s dicrous of monomania:;s.
tI Perhaps no branch of medical science is so
rich in facts and so mournfully fascinating as
In that which treats of these mental hallucina
° tions. Many of them are famous even in
si history. Eminent statesmen, illustrious
princes, and writers whose genius is immor
ýn tal, have been afflicted by them. In more
Sthan one instance they have taken such pro
found and overwhelming possession of the in
Stellect of Individuals that they have
Si wrought the possessed into enthusiasts so
1 earnest and violent that they have become
it disturbers of whole kingdoms. The mem
ic hers of our medical faculty no doubt remem
br her the case of Joanna Southeote, an aged
and inlirm English maiden, who, something
f over a century ago, conceived the idea that
It she had been embraced by the Divinity; that
ul she was enrrintO' and would soon give birth to
te a son who would be the conqueror and Saviour
0 of the world. By her preaching she made
many converts; the people of the neighbor
n hoad became infatuat ed; her fame
" spread to the utmost limits of the
n kingdom anuj won converts in great
numbers among the ignorant and super
y stitious. One of the most eminent
physicians of the day examined the old and
decrepit girl, and declared that she was in
deed enrc'inte. This scientific testimony ndded
r fuel to the llame, and Joanna Southcote
o seemed likely to run the English nation
° crazy. The promised oselah, however,
n failed to make his appearance at the proper
time; days and weeks rolled on; the enthu
0: siasm began to die out, and finally it trans
pired that the old woman was alll lcted with a
tumor or a dropsy, we have forgotten which.
e A short time ago a friend of ours belonging
' to the medical faculty related to us a case, in
some respects, more remarkable than that of
the venerable Joanna, though it was too ab
surd to enable the deluded creature, like her,
t to form a sect or party even among the most
e ignorant,
jur (!rfnd told us that marly years ago
his father, then a ph, scian in Kentucky,
n had a patient-an old man-who fancied that
he was enerint'. The conviction was over
t whelming, and possessed its victim day and
night, for weeks and months. The doctor
| used every argument, every persuasion to
L undeceive the unfortunate man, but in vain.
Finally the physician determined to attempt
to heal the distemper of his demented pa
tient's fancy by humoring his illusion. Ac
cordingly the good doctor examined his pa
tient, determined the time at which he would
be delivered and attended him with all the
dusual gravity and formality. As the event
e ful day approached, the doctor purchased a
Id young hedgehog and kept it in readiness.
The day dawned; the doctor and his attendants
were on hand. So powerful was the effect of
the poor wretch's imagination that he suf
at fered all the terrible pains incident to his
fancied condition, when finally his accouch
e- eur told him the child was born and presented
hthe hedgehog to his view. "Ah!" exclaimed
ho the poor fellow, "it is damnably ugly, but it
of is mine and I suppose I must love it."
We have a case in New Orleans familiar to
is almost every one, even more remarkable
than the two we have related. The Picayune
n. nwspaper has been for several years af
flicted with a hallucination similar to those
of of old Joanna and the Kentucky lunatic.
It has long been afflicted with the illusion
al that it is pregnant with a "new party."
It has preached of its coming young Mes
h siah for several years. The people in every
part of the State heard, for several years be
fore the last election, of the promised Mes
a siah that was to spring from the womb
l of this infatuated and lunatic sheet to save
1n the country. But the miraculous infant
came not. There were political doctors by
the dozen, who, like the one that was called in
in to see Joanna, swore the symptoms were
n unmistakable and that the old lady's proph
ecy would be fulfilled. But alas! the Pica
yulne's party, and its
- --"followers, like
Joanna onthcote's Shiloh and h'r sect,
at Were things whi'e in hth~i oua-y did not strike
The pubilec mind. so few were the elect:
And the new births of both their stale virgini
7 ties
SHave proved but dropsies taken for divinities."
e The infatuation has again seized our vener
e able contemporary. It is now large with "a
t aew dSep rL1ae." Mondaysmornaig ltalarion

tidle of doubt that &tt conception this time is
a ge.niine one, and that it will biaing forth a
healthy, well-born "new departure." Poor
deluded thing! Wefear it is not even a dropsy
this time, but only a little hedgehog some
clover political experimentalist is "putting
up" on It. And yet. Just see how cantan
kerously the old lady, or the old man, or
whatever else in the very devil it may he, is
after "Htate pap" to nourish its imaginary
infant ? Is It a dropny, or will it be a hedge
hog ?
Louisiana is an example of how much in
jury can he done by persons, unacquainted
with engineering and hydrography, interfer
ing with our natural water courses. Tones'
Bayou was lately an evidencen of this. Here
was the Federal govern mient called on for a
largo sum of money to repair the dlamnage
done by Ionme one cutting a ditch years ago
from the lied river to Bayou Pierre, and the
trade of a largo soetloti of country seriously
incommoded and interfered with by a wild
ongliaering freak.
A esmilar canal has wrought even greater
damage in the western portion of the Mtate
A number of years ago Mr. tUrsin Leblanec
dug a ditch to connect the waters of Bayou
Vermilion with the Teche. This ditch has
since grown into a full-fledged canal, and
now carries off a large amount of water
towamrd the Teche. It has no opening In the
Teche, however, and this water from the
Vermilion, instead of pouring Into that
stream, is emptled into the basin lying tw
tworn the two bayous and extenlling to Lake
Tasse, in Iberia parish, where it remains until
it evaporates or filters away. Those subl
merged lands are situatel in the parishes of
St. Landry. Lafayette and St. Martin, the
hlatter being the greatest suffll''r. More than
live hundred 'itizens of tihat parish have
their lands under water; their 'rops have
Ilen destroyed, their cattle drowned, their
holluss washed away or undermnih.l. But
this is far froml all the dalnage from this
water. Having no outlet, it remains cover
ing the ground until it is ovaporatedl by the
sun. It li.comes in the mIleanwhile stagnant
and generate's chills and fevers of all kinds.
Inlless, t~lherefore, the work already com
mionced on a canal for the ro Iomnption of this
portion of the State from overflow is carriel
out, it will eventually become an unhealthy
swamp. Very little money Is nuoedld, the
Attakapas ,'Hnl/inil says, to colnplete the
Fuller canal, which will drain this valuable
and fertile land.
The Fuller canal was begun lbefore the war.
Its original design is perhaps too expensive
and( grand for us to carry lout now-a-days,
Iut even were the work doine on It smaller
scale it would greatly benelit this submnirged
district. It Is bnyond the power of its ihnhab
itanlts to dig the canal; they are already rllined
by the damage the overflow has brought upon
them. It remainis with the polli'e jury of the
plalrish or the Legislature ton finis this work.
It is ulnderstoi( l that the police jury of St.
Martin is well disposul to act on this measure,
but think it somewhlat unjust that the people
of St. Martin should is compelled to perform
this work for the benefit of two other parishes,
Lafayette and St. Landry. Even were St.
Martin to take this Iudenn on itself, it wouldi
still nneed some State aid, as the enterpriso is
beyond the parish resources.
A bill on this subject has already been pro
pared by several citizens of St. Martin, to be
presented to the Legislature. This bill pro
poses that the levee tax paid by St. Martin
io specially reserved for thei digging of tllhis
:anal and the rodelrption of these submerged
ands.
At the same time it would be well to prevent
iih possibility of such (occurrencos in the
uture by prohibiting this wild digging of
litches and canals, which have so often
frought floods and destructIon on our low
andis.
Athens was aroused ore morning by the
discovery that the Hermes, sacred statues
scattered all over that city, had been (lefaced.
by some one. Chattanooga has just been
somewhat excited over a similar occurrence.
The other night the monument dedicated to
the Confederate dead of that place was badly
lefaced and mutilated by some human ghouls.
The Republican paper of the town declares
that the deed was done by strangers, and
that the motive which prompted it was per
sonal vengeance and hatred against the dead
Confederate soldiers, However that be, the
man who committed the offense was evident
ly a person of little sense and foresight, as
he could have gratified his vengeance
much more effectually by defacing the
monument to the Federal dead. This would
have relighted the fires of Radical hate, and re
newed old war feelings and animosities in all
their ancient bitterness. The Radical press
could then have dished up once more their
twice told tales of Confederate outrages on
Federal soldiers, dead and alive, and taught
the people of the country that in the South so
bitter was the feeling engendered by the war
that not only living Republicans but dead
Union soldiels were proscribed, were out
raged and insulted.
The people of Chattanooga, however al
though aroused and indignant at this outrage,
have shown their good sense in not going into
a violent passion over it. An investigation
of the occurrence is being made, and the
malefactors will doubtless be captured and
punished. In the meanwhile, there is none of
that excitement, that passion, that wild, sec
tional, bloody-shirt denunciation of every
body else, to which we should have been
treated, had this outrage taken place in the
North.
