Thq'lilgh license bill has been defeat ed and the old law stands. OblChinese Harrison is his name and the laboring people don't like it. Big odds are offered on Cleveland andTlhurman In New York without takers. The law for the execution of crimi nals by electricity will go Into force in New York on January 1, 1889. All manufacturers are exempt Irom taxation by the constitution. Monroe Is the best site for a cotton faelory in North Lousleana. - Moneybags Morton is expected to make good use of his "barl" but. he will not make much headway against the popularity of the red bandanna. t-is asserted that 50 Southern dele gates to the Chicago convention, origl nally, for Sherman, were bought by Gov. Alger at from $300 to $500 per head. The Oatahoula News favors lion: J. L. Dagg, of.,Concordla, for Congress. Nearly every other paper in the dis trict favors the renomination of lion C.Newtono. Ex-Msyor. Low of Brooklyn, for mnrly a staunch Republican, has de clared for Cleveland and the Old 1Ro man. Manlthers have followed his good ;exampl. Mrs. Mario Louise Garner, editress of the Lake Providence Banner, is not an advocate ef female suffrage. She fears the privilege would alienate the attentions of men and says women prefer beaux to theballot. It is reported that Senator Eustis' health is so greatly Impaired that it is doubtful if be will ever again be able tooccupy his seat in the Senate. In consrquence of this he has been ad. vised to resign in order that Gov. Nicholls might appoint a successor to him to help look ofter Louisiana'sI Interests. WVe doubt however if Sena tor Eustis will place it in (Gov. Nich. oils' power to appoint Judge White to fill out his unexpired term, as the Governor no doubt would do were he called upon to make the appointment. Persons visiting Washington have, perhape, regarded the Capitol as com plete, but it Is, in fact, an unfinished building, and the House has just ap -ropriated 100,000 for a grand portico Old staircase for the west front. Ilow .ver false an economy may prevail with Senators and Representatives re garding other public buildings, they all know better then to put cheap work on the Capitol. Originally the east front of the building was meant as the real front, but placing the Prest dent's house back of the Capitol caused the Olty of Washington to be built behblnd the Capitol as it was. So the west front bhad to be made as grand and imposing as the east. Two or three yrs ago Congress appropriated over $800,000 for the now marble ter acs, which is now complete. It adds hameasurably to the beauty of the Sbu-ilding, as it apparently gives an ad ditional story, thus doing away with the heavy effect of the dome. The 1pIt.tl Is a very good standard for V:.' . . judging of the great extent of certain I historic structures. Two other crea lions in stone have almost the identical proportions of the Capitol. One is the 1 great pyramid, the other is St. Peter's. C There is not the differencq of a dozen feet in the length of any of these. mI OUR NATAL DAY. The patriotic observance North and South, East and West, of the birth day I of this great republican empire indi cates bow indissolubly the sisterhood of States are linked together and shows to the world a strong, united, liberty loving people. In this sense it has a two-fold significance now, for with each returning 4th of July the survi vors of the contending hosts of the late war vie with each other in banishing the hatreds and bitter memories and holding dear only the deeds of valor and love and sacrifice that were born of that unhappy conflict. By this means we prove that there is no longer a North and a South in a sectional sense, but that we are a strong, united people. It proves that the South has accepted in good faith the arbritrament of the sword and that her sons are as loyal to the flag, the constitution and the laws as our brothers of the North ; that they would not have It otherwise and that they would fight now with the same valor that characterized and covered them with glory on the field of Yorktown, atChalinette and in Mexi co, to preserve the glory of the flag, to hold Intact the constitution and to preserve the unity of the States insep erably and forever. But these fraternal feelings have not yet reached their zsenith. The people of the North have not quite reached that degree of confidence in us of the South as to trust us with the reins of government. We, however, do not blaine them for this. It was quite natural that they should require of us a probationary s'ervice before consent ing to admit us to the highest council boards and to. entrust the destinies of the nation to our hands. But that time has nearly come. One Democratic administration, which has brought Southern statesmen to the front, has proved that we are worthy of every confidence and ere another four years is added to our glorious history it will not be an essential prerequisite that an I aspirant for vice-presidential or even presidential honors shall have been born north of Mason and Dixon's line. ,OUACHITA AS A GRAMS PROIIUCING AiD STO('K RAISING COUNTIIY. Of late years several important ex, periments have been made in this parish in the cultivation of grasses and in almost every instance they have proved successful, showing the wonder ful adaptability of our soil for almost every species of grass and at the same time indisputably establishing the fact that we have a country unsurpassed for stock raising. Messrs. Stone & Lay c ton, real estate agents, have recently been raking experiments in grasses on the Layton place just below town e and they have met with the most en s couraging success. They now have on exhibition at their office, No. 31 e DeSiard street, several cuttings from n harvestings just made and we doubt if a better showing can be made any where. Among the cuttings on ex hibition are two of Iced Clover planted in October, 1887. The first cutting was e harvested in June and grew to a e heighth of i feet. The second cutting from the same planting was harvested in July and is 21 feet high. They have O alsoa speeiman of the famous Ken tucky Blue Grass and it does as well here as on its native soil. It grew to a Shbeighth of 3 feet. They experimentedt Salso in Italian Rye Grass. It was plan t led in the fall of 1887 andt harvested in SJuly, having reached a heighth of about 5 feet. This grass makes the finest winter pasturago known, being San evergreen and never freezing. Our people have recognized the fact for several years that we possess a Ssplendid stock country and thley are graduttaliy becoming a sltock raising people. These experiments will tend in a great measure to give Impetus to this paying industry andti in a few years from seeing an enterprising iti zon here and there raising his own mules and possessing his herd of bloodt. Sed cattle, it will have become the rule Instead ol the exception and North Louislana will be independent of the Missouri mule drover anti herds of fine cattle will have taken the place Sof the common stock son niumenrously and profitlestly roaming over the ecuotry. 5 The money spent for drinks in an s American city of "100,000 inlhabitants - is put down at $~25,000 per week the 5 year round. That is $1,300),000 thrown Saway, and seven-tenths of it comes r from the day laborers. Proceedligs or North Loulalisna Agricnl I cl tural Society.- ci The third regular meeting of the e North Louisiana Agricultural Society f, convened at the Experiment Station, No. 3, Calhoun, La., on Thursday, h 28th inst. 1 President J. 1I. White called the 9 meeting to order. Minutes of pre- t ceeding meeting read and approved. 11 The committee appointed to confer n with the Police Jury of Ouachita par- t ish and solicit their aid in the con- ( struction of a bridge across the Bayou a Choudrant, reported that they had a placed the matter before the Police f Jury, but no action had been taken as yet. Committee retained. The committee appointed to solicit t reduced rates on trains transporting e visitors to the monthly meetings of a the Society, reported that the railroad t officials had promised to put a special train on the road, from Delhi to Cal houn, and the fare reduced one-half- I the same applying to the regular pas senger train from the west.

" To thle Editor of the )Aily Picayune R One of til Ie most attractivo portions of 3 north louisirllma lies between tihe t)sa Schita and the 3Icon,. Its ileids are of Sunsurpassed fertility, its forests otf the most varlulile tiuber trees anti its itl hahitants thritty and enterprssing. lint lthe generous gifts of nature to this favored region were largely otTset by Sits liabilily to frtqtluent inundtation from the overll,lwing wvthers of tIhre Mitilpi. These waters, escaping their tmai Channeli nearly a hundred fmiles away in tlhe state of Arkansas, plpassetl dotwn through tlio umirhdie of this territory, mtaking a large part oi it, tlhat sihonl otherwise he prodinuctive plantations and ttemCitg pIasturIe~, for months ait a tilrlm a dismal arid ilun profitable swtlmip, it not a pestientita S Thils evil waC W'itll(out remtldy by a any defensive work thtatt voub be llbeade within the ~stte of iLouisiana, anid i, a few years ago, tile ''ensas basill levee e district was organized, embracing the area tetwaeen the Macon and the OIa- I Ichita. A revenue was provided antId commissioners appointed, empowered to build levees In Arkansas, or where ever necessary to protect the district D from overflow. ci A large amount of levee building b has been done by the Tensas basin la levee commissioners along the Missis- el sippi river in J)esha and Chieot coun- P ties, Arkansas, a good deal by the It local authorities of these counties, and Ii more still by the United States; so b that the line is now nearly complete P (though probably not high enough), e and the Tensas basin district is thus M about as well protected against over- h flow as the other levee districts of Ii Louisiana. But there is a feature of the situatict d that cannot fail to strike any one who Ia examines the topography of Ibis region, lI and to suggest a line of defense against t the floods other than those imme- I diately along banks of the M issi-sippi : The ridge of high lands, generally t known as the Macon hill, runs alorg c near the west bank of bayou Macon; I and if it were continuous all the way, 1 there would be no overflow from the E Mississippi to the west of it, and no need for the existence of the Tensas I basin levee district. But this ridge is I interrupted and depressed for twenty miles or so in Cnicot county, notably I at the stream known as Boeuf cut-off, which is a outlet from the Macon to the Boeut. Through this outlet, and I I across the depressed portion of the 4 ridge, comes nearly all the water that I I has so long overflowed the Tensas basin district ; and if an embankment could be built for some twenty odd I miles to supplement and complete the line of hills, the major part of the die- s trict would be protected thereby for ever, and made itndependent of the I levee system along the river front. This, however, would be a costly work, over which the Tensas basin conmmuissioners could exercise no effec 'tive control, (it being in another state,) and the way has never seemed clear to undertake it until within the past year, when the Lo'uisiana, Arkan ass and Missouri Railroad (lompany proposed to build and maintain such an embankment, to serve the double purpose of a roadbed for their track and a levee for the protection of the Tensas basin levee district. s A contract was accordingly entered into between the railroad company and the levee commissioners for the con I struction and maintenance of such an embankment, and it was hoped and e believed that the result would be to ' give the people of the district two great and much needed benefits: a rail e road to put them in close connection with the rest of the world, and a se w cure barrier against the floods that e have so often brought ruin to their d interests and prospects. 0 It seems, however, that when this , arrangement was proposed the railroad company had only contemplated build d ing their bank to a height that would r" be, say, three and a half teet above the depth of overflow as found along the e line of the proposed road, without con y sidering that when the flow throu;gh ti the cut-off and accross the ridge was ar n rested by the embankment, the water would rise considerably higher-and, % probably, as high as that in the Mis It sisslppi river in case the levees along o Its banks were not maintained. n To build their bank to such a height as would make It a secure levee against r- the Mississippi, would-it is reported involve a much greater expense than I they had counted on. And hence, it is said, there Is now some doubt as to the execution of this important work unless it can be made smaller and lower. I have been sorry to learn that in some portions of the district there ap pears a disposition to sacrifice the levee feature of this proposed embankment, or at least to be satisfied with almost any degree of protection it may afford r. if built as a railroad bank, and only Just *, above the overflow, as it has been h found along the line. n This I conceive would be a great mis t lake. The Tensas basin district needs )f railroads; it needs just such a line of road as has been proposed, and if the '- people could build it silmply as a rail. b road I believe it would be a good in te vestment of their means. But they d should not lose sight of their great pur pose of securing at the same time thor oe ough and permanent protection for the d larger part of their district against *. overflow. To my mind it would seem r much better t. pay if necessary the ad r, ditional cost of a really sencure levee 'I titan to, rely on one of iess substantial t character. * It is well to, considtler that, though the to water has never yet been fiound to rise as high lalug th ie lie ,f the proposed embankment as it has been in the M[is sissippi river opposite, yet it has reach ed the same level against the hills that it hadl in the river in the same latitude, anti even hight'r it some instances. W: heni the emubtanknent beromies, as it if were, a part of thie lines of hbills, it w- woult seemi reasonable Ihat thle water )f would rise against it iJI a similar man e ner, inId nowise to rely on a levee of I- tower grade. 1 do not wish to trespass it too far upon your space, andti therefore iw will not enlarge upon tle reasons for y believing an embankment of lower n grade than the l0,od pI aie of tie M[ias sissiaiplii river would pirove insutoltient anmti perhaps lead t, ilnlense disaster I to tihe railroad andt to lthe interests that , may rely on it for Iproteclion. f HtI, btlieving, as I tdo, that should I thile levete along the Missisasppi,tin Dl)esha e and ('1tict,t counghis, fail to be kept up, ,r theire wouI hie ino s-eelrity in all ent I baunkellltl along thle lMacon of less I Iheight than Itha:t reluireud for levees alnlig tile fronlt, I write this with the Y, hope of bringing the matter to the at Ie tenttion andt seriolus considerationl of the ",t peope of the district, where I know e thle Picaynle has a large circulation. eI Very respectfully, a- HEERY B. RICHARDSO., Battle Between a Bull Dog and a Iforse. CHICAGo, July 2.-A dispatch from Detroit, Mich., says: S. Kelter, of this city, recently imported an E aglish bull dog warranted to never open its jaws when once they had closed on an enemy. Kellter was very proud of his purchase and exhibited it frequently to a select circle of friends. Recently The dog was given a corner in the sta ble, where Mr. Keller also kept a tast pacing horse. Yesterday Keiter lock. ed the two animals in the barn and went away on an excursion. When he returned and opened the barn door 1 iu the evening, tie was horrified to find the horse on the floor searly dead, while hanging tor its under jaw from which the flesh had been torn, leaving the bone almost bare, was the bull dog alive, but badly bruised. Mr. Kelter called in his friends, and at once set to work relieving tfit. t..r-' ( f his terrible antagonist. The tll .t was choked, kicked, pounded, burned with hot irons, and a wedge driven into his jaws but all to no purpose. Finally an ax Was procured and the dog's head chopped off. Then it was difficult to loosen the grip. The horse was gotten to his feet and an examination made. lHe will probably die. His skin was torn from his body in many places where the dog had evidently tried to 3 fasten his teeth and he was scarred I from head to toot. The dog had evi s dently had one hold on the horse's t breast for there a large piece of flesh a was torn off. It had been a battle royal. Probably the dog after breakse i Ing his rope had wandered into the a stall and coming too near his heels had been kicked. He retaliated with his teeth and the fight began. There a was hardly a whole bone left in the dog's body and the horse will not be y good for anything if he lives. Captain C. A. Johnutone, now a r guest at the Hoffman House, and a member of the national Democratic committtee for Mississippi, tells a very good story. He was present at the white house when President Cleveland announced his acceptance of the nomi nation. At the collation which follow ed he thought he would like to take a his daughter a souvenir of the occasion, and with that object in view, he quiet ly secreted a napkin. With much joy, when he returned to his his hotel in New York, he embraced his daughter n and said : "Keep this, my dear, for in after years it will remind you of a very memorable occasion." His beautiful o daughter loooked at it and exclaimed. ,- "Why, my dear father, this serviette n is darned in at least twenty places." Nothing could have pleased the cap ttain more, for he at once responded, ir "My child, this is another instance of the economy and thrift of theDamocrat9 is cl administration.-N-'ew Ylork lerald. e The proper thing now with the "sum d mer girl" is to go out between the acts, just like a man, and drink soda water. e A duo or trio ot girls often go to the 1d theatre unattended by male escorts, al ways adopting the English plan and each paying for her own seat. At the r- end of an act they get up and tile out to r drink soda water, one of them "stand Ing treat" for the entire party. Then s" they walk back, laughing and chatting g for all the world like brolhers. Lots of the girls also accompany their escorts t in their entre journey, and probably er. Joy the opera the more for not sitting in their seats while the curtain is down. ' - I'ctshiFyton Critic.
