CARDINAL WOLSEY.

THOMAS WoLsEY, distinguished person in the
reign of Henry VIII. was born in the year 1471 |;
and il is said he was the of butcher at Ipswich
Being made chaplain to the king, he had great OPP
portunities of gaining his favour TO obtain which
he practised all the arts of obsequiousness. Hav
ing gradually acquired an entire ascendency over
the mind Of Henry, he successfully obtained several
lbishoprcs, and, at length, was made archbishop OF
York, lord high chancellor OF England, and prime
minister and was, for several years, the arbter OF
Europe. The emperor Charles the fifth, and the
French king Francis the first, courted his interest,
and loaded him with favours As his revenues we're
immense, and his influence unbounded, his pride
and ostentaon were carried to the greatest height.
He had eight hundred servants amongst whom
were nine or ten lords, fifteen knights, and forty
esqures.
| From this great height of power and splendour,
| he was suddenly precipitated into ruin. His am
bition to be pope his pride, bis exacons, and his
opposition to Henry's divorce, occasioned his dis
grace. This sad reverse affected his mind as TO
bring on severe illness, which soon put period
1 to his days short time before he left the world
the review of his life, and consciousness OF the
misapplicaton of his time and talents, drew from
him this sorrowful declaration 4" Had but served
lGod as diligently as have served the king, he would
not have given me over in my gray hairs. But thi:
lis the Just reward that must receive for my iudu
Igent pains and study, not regarding my service to
lGod, but only to my prince"
With these painful reflections this famous cardi
lnal finished his course. He affords memorable
instance of the variety and Inconsistency of human
things, both in his rise and fall and striking ad
lmoniton to those who are abusing the talents ant
opportunities, which God has given them to pro
lmote his honour and the happiness OF men,

WILMINGTON FRIDAY JANUARY 1924
From Paaons. .AeeO- Orleans Directory and Reg


ister.
Louisiana was purchased by the United States
from France, by treaty, April SO, 1905, for about
BIS 100000.
In 1911, 1t was admitted into the Union. The
quantity Of land within the state adapted to the cul
|tivaton OF the three staples was estimated as foi-
lows: Sugar, 100000 acres. Rice 100000, Cotton
100000. Some OF the sugar planters have deri
we'd revenue in some years oil one thousand doll
lars from the labor Of each of their slaves from
500 to $50 dollars is the ordinary calculation. The
whole amount of sugar made in this State in 1910,
was about 100000 pounds-in 1914, not less
than 100000, and in 1917, 90 600 900, nearly
one third of the whole amount consumed in the
United States.
| The circumstance, however. that renders the
political and moral picture Of the country peculiar
lily Distinctive is, that almost the total OF the pro-
ducton of the industry of its inhabitants must flow
to common centre. New Orleans alone will
lbe forever, it is now, the mighty mart Of the
|chandise and produce brought from more than
Thousand rivers.-Unless prevented by some great
accident in human affairs, this rapidly increasing
lcily WILL in no very distant time, leave the empo-
lrum of the eastern world far behind With Bos-
Itsn, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore on the
left Mexico on the right, Havana in front, and the
Immense valley of the Mississippi in the rear; no
Isuch position for the accumulation and perpetulty
of wealth and power ever existed.
| II is admirably well situated for trade near the
lmouth OF a noble river whose branches extend Tor
Thousands of miles in different directions, and open
communications with the most extensive and fertile
VALLEY the face of the earth. The river in front
of the city is crowded with vessels from every ma
tion and boats from thousand differeAt places in
1.-THE supper country"--from Kentucky, Tennessee,
land Missouri, from Ohio and even from the upper
Missouri, The upper Mississippi, Pennsylvania and
NewYork.

In safety builds upon the Keeling wave,

Old age is honorable. The spirit seems

Old age is honorable. The spirit seems
Already on its fight to brighter worlds;
And that strange change which men mscal decay
Is renovated life. The feeble voice
With which the soul attempts speak its meanings,
Is, like the skylarks note, heard faintest when
Its wing scars highest and those hoary signs,
Those white and reverend locks, which the scorn
OF thoughtless rlbalds, seem TO me like snow
Upon an Alpine summit, -only proving
How near it is to heaven.
