From the general engineer fund ruing from. the tax of 18tfi. S41.443 SO, making a total of 64. The amount oi the district fund estimated as available, within the 16 per oenW limit, Is $44,868 89. The allotment from the engineer fund reported IJuly 22, 1883, 429,000, making la all $69,868 89, leaving a deficiency 01 $36,408 00 since supplied from the general eoKineer funo.

From statement it wffl be seen that tha levee work to be oaid or Iron the Fourth District levee fund tax of 1883 tm esti mated to amount to $44,868 89; from the general engineer fund tax of 1883. to $23. 678 79; total, $67,547 la. Tne amount from the district levee fund estimated as avail able within the 75 per cent, limit. Is $44.

868 $9. The original allotment from the creaeral engineer fund was $20,000. leavlnar a deneleney, ainoe supplied from the general engineer fund, of $2078 79. i Again, in connection with, levee work un dertaken and contracted tor in the Fourth Levee District by the State during the past year, mention must be made of the Morgan za Levee in the parish ot Folate Coupee. This important work is practically completed, though at thin date not yet received from the hands of the contractors.

The amount of earthwork which the levee la estimated to contain is about 210,000 oubio yards. which with the extra work reo uireri. In nrAnarlns the base by the removal of rafts of timber end other matter of a nerlahabiii nature, will cost about tri.too, to be paid from the levee in tne ocate xreas ury, arising from the sale of swamp and overflowed lands, when said fund shall be appropriated or transferred by act of the General Assembly and become available for levee purposes. It is nnneoeeaarvto reoeat at lenrfh whmt has been so often stated in onr nrevlons re ports to yon relative to the impossibility of preparing, a year In advance, detailed estimates of the amount and oost of the levee work required in the dlstrlot. There Is, how ever, no reason to expect the year 1884 to prove exerotlonal as rerardi eavinir hint.

In case there' is a snfiioenfe amount of this fund lathe State Treaaurr before certain dates, but this event new id. fears improbable, and we shall begin the evee seaeon of 1884 requiring over $47,000 to pay for work already under eon tract in ttie Fourth Levee District, which is more than the probable proceeds, after doe allow.

anee for delinauenclea and exDennea of nn etlon ot a five mill tax on the assessed valuation of the district. It Is certainly a very moderate estimate to assume that you will need at ieast $250,000 in excess of what you can raise by a district tax of live mills, and this is the largest amount it now appears probable ean be anPDlied to thla district for the general engineers' fund. We, therefore, reepectfully recommend that vou now proceed to lew a diateint levee tax of five mills on the dollar on the assessed valuation of the Fourth Levee District as authorized by section 8 of act No. $3, session of 1879.

Rev. Dr. A. Mayo lectared at Werleia Hall yesterday evening before the Loait ana Bdueational Society. The doors were thrown open to the public, and a large audience of ladies and gentlemen assembled.

Among them were a number of tbe worthiaat and most respected people of the city. Ooi. Louis Bufcb and Col. Win. Preston Johnston occupied seats mar Dr.

Mayo on the stage. Dr. Mayo spoke upon the advantages and Importance of universal education. He did not aim at a learned lecture, but by familiar illustration and colloquial language, although he burst forth into passages of impassioned eloquence at times, alined to please and be understood by all. He said that some were opposed to uni vet sal education because it would bring tue masses to disregard the rights of tbe uoper classes, i nis is juuoation aoes lead to communism.

God has eetablisaed a difference between men, and here In Amerioa there. la natural aristocracy aa every. wbere else. Bducation only serves to ru ae this difleience understood and put those who endeavor to fraud ulenUy eater into classes to wbloh' they do not belong back into their' proper places. Communism is toe result or leaders csiog the masses for their private' purposee, like concentrating I tne pioduotlon or a farm into ono roao.

Consequently the masses, booome fully aware of their wrong they rise up and mutiny, and there has been a revolution la almost every country in Kuropn. Here tbe leaders of the people are chosen by tbem. and would make tbe people better able to select thepropur lead ers. it waa la(norance which, iaade tL dreaded boss" rule pot aible. Dr.

When Fngland saw the superiority French manofaotures a committee was sent over to inquire into the cause, and tbe com mltcee returned and reported couoerning the technical school system.

Tne was introduced Into England, and stilled labor soon became plentiful. When skilled labor was required by the manufacturers of Massachusetts and could jnot be found, the Irish peasant emigrants were taken and educated. It required ten years to tsaohf tbe dull peasants how to do the work, bus new they are a prosperous olas and are worth large sums of money. Now Canadian labor is going lathe same and there will soon be as many French peo pie there as In Louisiana. The greatest ad .1 ucatlonal records of the country, the records I of an education: which, placed this' country! above all others, were contained in the Patent Office at Washington.

Some farms produced, more than others, not be cause more' or better land, but because mechan eal appliances, directed by skilled hands, the place of primitive plows worked ay ignorant mules. It was the duty of the Bputh to eduoate its labor and make the negro laborer Intelligent, ao that his 1 labor would be of more advantage and hia vote the result of. understanding. Some mathematician had ealoulatsd that i each American home had an average of about $300 ai year for Ha support.

If the mother is Ignorant the boy will turn from her and she will have no influence to aave him; If ne has a mother, a sister, or even an aunteduoated enough to. make him respect her, sheoan bring him up to a useful manhood, made better by education.1 In a pleasant way Dr. Mayo presented many arguments In behalf of general educe a tlon.
