their respective parishes iuto drainage' dis
tricts, and authorizing the land owners of
the said separate drainage districts to levy
a tax upon tlie property therein bv a vote of
tbe said proprietors, after givtug due public
notice; aud
Wherens, experience lias shown the great
necessity of such a law in the parish of La

| the importance of early aud favorable ■vetiou
iu tlm matter bv your Bailee Jury. .
We understand they have set forth in their
letter* tbsix reasons for believing the Mur
ganza levee has special need for an ample
and vigilant guard, and have represented the
poverty ol their parish and the difficulties
under which they labor in the repair, preser
vation and protection of their ioug line of
Isvee.
It is therefore unnecessary for us to recite
the causes that impel them to seek assistance
from the other polishes which are largely
dependent upon the integrity ot the Poiate
Coupee levees lor protection.'
We believe the other parishes in tlie same
levee district— especially those not charged
with the maintenance, of long lines of levee on
their own territory—should and will as they
have heretofore, come to the aid of Point's
Coupee wheu her levees are in danger, and
we respectfully join the committee ,n re
questing that you lay this matter belore

Thu Meanest: The meanest man
lives in West Castle ton. At the he -1
ginning of last January he made a j
wager with his wife that site couldn't j
drink a quart of'milk a day for thirty |
days in February. If she did he was .
to give her a new silk dress; if she j
failed slie was to buy him a new suit
of clothes. The guileless and unsus
pecting woman finished her sixteenth
quart of milk (after a heroic struggle
with her rebellious stomach) before
she remembered that February had
but twenty-eight days.
Louisiana History in tlie Civil War.
Tlie last biennial official report of
Secretary of State Oscar Arroyo is a
mine of valuable and interesting infor
mation concerning many things in
Louisiana. Among other items is a
report on the troops furnished by Lou
isiana in the late civil war, giving ros
ters of tbe officers and a summary of
the enrollments, losses and other mat
ters connected with the men: who went
from this commonwealth to* fight for
the Confederacy. As no more com
plete statement of. these fasts is at
hand, and as the Picayune, when it
published some time ago some general
observations ou the subject of Itoeses in
battle, had not received this interest
ing report, from whieh important ma
terial might have been drawn, occa
sion is now taken to make some ex

It is to be regretted, that nobody has
accepted the self-appointed mission of
making up a complete return frees the
muster rolls of tlie Louisiana troops.
It is possible that with the material
obtainable iu Louisiana aud thokKhicb
is in the captumhConfedcrate ascliives
at Washington something satisfactory
might lie accomplished. Of course,
Secretary Arroyo, only had the records
iu the State archives and. possibly
fragrainentary information from other
sources, but he deserves the thanks of
his fellow-citizens for what he has
contributed towards the history of the
gallant mem of Louisiana. It is to be
hoped that the work will be carried ou
in tlie lino lie started.. There is noth
ing so important to the historian as
facts. Theories anil, philosophical dis
quisitions are plentiful! enough and
usually worthless enough. The dis
covery that current history contains s*
little bu t has greatly contributed to
discount the value of the innumerable
tomes that were once held as tho high
est authority.-^N. O. JCicayuiic.
