The September numberof the Louisi-ana School Review, published at Mon-roe by the Louisiana Educational Pub-lishing Co., lies upon our table. Prof.H. E. Chambers, the eminent and wellknown educator, is its editor, and itspages are filled with natter of great in-terest fo all teachers and fi ends of edu-cation. Its first editorial article is en-titled "Ballot Reform and Education,"in which the editor gives cogent reasonswhy the suffrage amendment and theAustralian system of voting should beadopted. A contributor gives an in-teresting sketch of the Summer Nctr-mal at Opelousts, in which many flat-tering things are said of our toun anudpeople and this high compliment is paidthe teachers who were in attendance:"Tihe lecturers said (privately) that theteachers who attended the OpelousasNormal were the brightest and bestworkers they had ever met; the con-ductor said their note books were mod-els for neatness and attention; theygot the gist of everything." In anotherarlicle entitled "Opelousas," the editoremphasizes this statement, and saysmany very complimentary things of our"quaint old town" and its courteousand hospitable people.We shall take pleasure in repro-

ducing these articles; but in the mea,-time we earnestly suggest that everyteacher and every intelligent person in-terested in educational matters sendone dollar at once and get the Reviewfor one year. The number before usis alone worth that amount.

The Lake Charles Press issued aspecial edition of 24 pages last week,which surpasses any thing of the kindever placed before the people of Louisi-ana. It was printed on fine book paperand profusely illustrated with first-classhalf-tone engravings of many of theleading citizens of Calcasieu-a consid-erable number of whom are natives ofSt. Landry-and severallexcellent views(made by the same process) of the hand-somest buildings, most important facto-ries, &c., of the growing city of LakeCharles. This was supplemented by atip-top write-up of the resources of thecountry and the inducements offeredprospective settlers, making the editionthe best and most artistic ever issuedin this country. It will be sent on re-ruest for 15 cents, and is very cheap at

at.

On Monday night last a protractedmeeting began at the M. E. Church un-der control of the pastor, Rev. E. T.Denson, ably assisted by Rev. Mr.Blocker, of Jeanerette. So far, theservices have been highly interestingand especially benefical to the youngermembers of the church, who seem tobe deeply concerned. The choir, com-posed mainly of young ladies, has fur-nished excellent music during themeeting.

In our issue of Sept. 7 we publishedwithout comment a let ter written byMr. J. E.

In our issue of Sept.21 we explained that the letter had beenpublished by request, and offered to fur-nish the Claion wiill tile name iof thegentleman who requested its publica-tion. This clearly relieved us of allresponsibiliiy in the matter; and as theClarion has recently repeatedly pro-fessed a desire to maintain friendlyrelations with us as well as with thebalance of the world, we had hopedandl expected to see in its last issue awithdrawal of its hasty and offensivewords. But its last issue did not con-tain a word about the matter. Wehave only to add that if it pursues asimilar course with the balance of theworld, we think *e may safely say itwill not remain at peace very long.

The Church Point correspondent ofthe Crowley Signal says that a wisefarmer held back his cotton last fall andonly Iecently soldl to Messrs. J. E. Daigle& Son at 7 cents per pound; therebyumaking a net gain of about $175.00 on

Boomerang Throwers.

The Australian boomerang tirowers,who have beenr in this city for a coupleof weeks waiting for good weather soas to give a perfoimance, gave an exhib-ition of their skill on the vacant lot atFirst and E streets at 11 o'clock thismorning. A number of newspaper menand others were present by invitationof the proprietors. Three of the canni-bals took part in the exhibition.

The perfomance justified all tthat hasbeen said of the wonderful skill of thebushmen with the ordinary looking cur-ved sticks. King Bill took a boom-erang by the small end and threw it outwith great force at an angle of aboutforty-five degrees. It rose to a heightof probably 60 feet with a sharp cuttingnoise, and mnaintaining its elevation de-scribed a circleo of about20 feet in diam-eter. When it had reached a point al-most above the thrower it gently de'scended to within twenty feet of the,ground and conlinued its flight at that'distance above lth ground for about 75feet in front of the thrower. It thenstopped its forward motion, gently des-cendtled on atn inecline toward Ihe mtanwho threw it, falling to the ground fromone to 25 feet fronm himit, accotdi;rg to theskill used in throwing. One fellowthrew one very swiftly through the airabout two feet off the ground. Whenit had got about 60 feet from him, oneend struck the ground and the Ioomer-ang suddenly flew up in air at an angleof probably 90 degrees for a distance of50 feet.

Why the Tourist, Traveler and Stldent

Should Visit Utah.

There are two reasons, either one of whichought to be conclusive with every Americancitizen.

First:-The trip from Denver tojtah viaRio Grande Western, "Great Salt Lare Route,"is the grandest to be founji anywhere on thecontinent. No European trip of eq.lal lengthcan compare with it in variety a;A grandeurof scenery and wealth of novelinterest.

Second :-You should go because, when youhave made this wonderful trip, you will findUtah at the end of it-Utah, o1ge of the world'sfamous spots and a land of gold, silver, copper,iron and coal; of lofty mountains and fertilevalleys; of vineyards, fruits and flowers.Salt Lake City, the capital, is of great intereston account of its historical and religious asso-ciations. Here are Hot Thermal Springs,Warm Springs, Sulphur Springs, Sanitarium,Parks. Drives, Canyons and tae most health-ful climate on earth. Great Salt Iake with thenew and beautiful Saltair Beach Resort ofMoorish design, has no equal in America.Write to F. A. Wadleigh, General PassengerAgent, for copies of pamphlets, etc.
