Printing for the Blind.

During the past week we have been
visited by Mr.. D. Sherrod of Mississippi,
who is agent for a National Board of Pub
fishers of books, ID raised letters, for the
use of the blind. tt is we'll known that
by the aid Of large raised letters the blind
are enabled to read with the usual rapid.
i ty, and with accuracy. These letters are
impressed on thick paper moistencd to the
proper state, and the impression is rem
dered permanent by the application of a
substance resembling gum.arabic or glue
The sheets Of impressed paper are then
bound in large volumes. The Bible print.
ed in this manner makes eight ponderous
volumes.
This style of publication is very expen,
sive, so that libraries for the use of the
blind must long remain limited. But if
the Legislature Of each State, and the men
Of wealth benevolently disposed, will unite
in establishing single publishing house
according to the plan proposed, it is OBJ
vious that publications for the blind can be
afforded in greater number and at lower
rates than they could be by several local
publishing establishments. It is for this
purpose that the National Publishing
Board has been organized, for whom and
under whose direction Mr.. Sherrod is
soliciting donations in Loai siana as, we
think, other agents are elsewhere. 1t is a
part Of the plan Of the Board to extend to
each State the benefit of her individual
subscriptions or Legislative donation. If
Louisiana, for example, gives fifty thou
sand dollars to the Publishing House, the
blind Of the State will receive that
amount in books at prime cost.
We can scarcely conceive Of an enter
prise more worthy Of the aid Of our fellow
citizens who have eyes, and hearts to
sympathise with those who have none.
Mr.. Sherrod, well recommended by his
own intelligence and amiability, is also
endorsed by many Of the leading philan,
thropists Of the South. We hope that sue.
cess will attend his generous labors in
behalf of the info .tunate.

The Hon. T. j. SemmeS.

Iw During the session Of the late Con
/ gressional Convention here the Democrats
Of Rapides were favored with q visit from
our worthy candidate for the office Of At
i torEer General, the Hon. I. j. SEaMEs, q
New Orleans. Towards the close of the
day, the desire to hear him speak became
so great that when the labors of the Con
vention were ended he was loudly called
for; but as the business Of the Swamp
Land Convention remained to be trans
acted, the speaking was deferred until s
O'Clock, p. NJ. At that hour the Delegates
and considerable number Of citizens had
gathered at the Court House and when
Mr. SEMMEs was introduced he was greeted
with emphatic demonstrations of welcome
He spoke for half an hour or forty min.
utes and was listened to with thoughtful
attention. We shall not undertake to re.
produce any portion Of his speech nos
even to give it's substance for the fear OF
failing to dojustice to one Of the cleaverest
and most logical summaries Of Demo,
cratic doctrine We have heard or read.
His illusions to the trying and stormy
scenes through which the Democrats of
Louisiana have passed and in which he
was a hard-working participant, were
we'll timed. His vindication of the Pres
ident was brief and pertinent and his cpl
tome of Democratic doctrine was method
ical and lucid. tie addressed his remarks
solely to the understanding and not at all
to the passions Of his hearers His speech
was the subject Of universal commenda-
tion for it's perspicuous, condensed and
logical style and its method and exactness
in language 1t was what was naturally
expected from one whose mind, we'll stored
with political knowledge, has been
schooled in the severe discipline Of the
law.
We learn from Mr.. SEMMEs that he is
enlisted for the whole campaign and we
anticipate for him a hearty welcome in
every parish in the State. He will DO
good service wherever he goes. We hope
he will again visit Rapides at an early
day TO address larger audience under
more favorable circumstances.
Mr.. SEMMEs was followed by the Hon.
R. A. HUNTER and the Hon. HENRY GRAY,
in effective and interesting speeches, the
audience manifesting their appreciation
by frequent plaudits.
We regret that in our last issue we had
no space for notice of the meeting when
the outlines of the speeches made were
distinct in our memory.

their union, she had ever proved loving wife, and
most efficient help-nate She survived her husband

sixty-Grst year, born February 23d, 1899. She
was daughter Of Pierre Baltic, who was native
ofNatchitoches, La, and one OF the pioneers to-
whom the present generation, who enjoy TIE.

terpriZe and energy, in reclai,ning from the

generally agriculturists, which has counted among
its members some of our worthest and most highly
esteemed citizens. She herself leaves an extended
circle of children, and grand children, to whom the
good name OF both their honored parents, is more
precious heritage than the very ample estate they

Mrs Compton was woman of excellent sense
and discretion, as was abundantly evidenced by
her admirable management of her large household,
over which she presided with degree Of judgment
aud frmness which always commanded tile ready
obedience of her dependents and servitors while
she was loved by them universally for heegente
ness Of manner, and her goodness of heart. Not
the donestics Of her household only, and those
attached 10 her immediate personal service, but her
slaves employed in the labors OF the field several
hundred in number, gave, in their irrepressble
grief as the grave closed over their beloved mis-
tress protector, and friend, loud andaecting proof
of the strong hold she had upon their affections.
She was by nature, and the daily practice of her
life, kind and sincere, generous, hospitable, and
charitable Although from ill-health, and her de-
votion to her family, for which she was remarka.
bic, she had not, of late years, gone much into
general society, few ladies have had, as none bet
ter deserved to have, more warm friends than Mrs.
Compton, and their grief is none the less, because
her death was not unexpected, her illness having
been Of long duration. ~.
She parsook Of the Sacrament Of the Lords Sup
per aboutHorty hours before her decease.
Receiving and enjoying the consultations and pro
misses, of the Roman Catholic Church, to whose
communion she was attached, che calmly tool
leave of her weeping children, and full OF Christian
hope and resignation, passed peacefully to her last
earthly rest. Well assured are we, also, that hss
blameless life here has been exchanged for q
blessed Immortality in the land Of the hereafter!

Thus the solemn priest hath said
So We lay the turf above thee now,

JUICE DoUGLAs.-That sound and steady
Democratic sheet, the Pennsylvania re.
marks concerning the political manifesto
recently telegraphed from Washington by
Douglas, under the form Of letter to bis
friend J. B. Dorr OF Iowa: =
Now we admit that it is not customary for poitiy
clans to joke on so serious subject 4, that of the
Presidency in fact, they all take it quite too much
to heart, and speak Of it with tears in their eyes
but we give to Judge Douglas for this act unbound
ed praise. We unhesitatingly pronounce it an ac.
OF the most statcsmanlike comprehension that he
has ever committed and we challenge contradc
ton upon the following theory: II iSs
The experience gained by Judge Douglas, when
q candidate heretofore, has taught him that the
country and party, now possibly more than ever,
demand a nominee who has ever served the nation
not as an issue-monger for excitement, not az 4
talker discussing factious and disturbing sms NOT
by the eyoiyement Of new questions for mere non.
uiar debate, but by comprehensive craftsmanship.
by thorough and practical advocacy Of the digni.,
", rights and powers Of the government Know
ing himself, he is fully aware that he has been
servceable to his country ONLY in times Of excite
nent on domestic issues created mainly by himself
he knows that his record gives him no other claasf
upon the people or the party. He can point 10 no
case wherein he promoted the great and command
ng interests Of the Nation to act ofenlightened
and comprehensive craftsmanship, to no period Of
service in the practical execution Of ministerial
functions. In fact, he is best known to the peore
as talker, an excitant, bully debater, and no.
toriously troublesome politician.
Hence, from his appreciation of these demands
of the country and party, and his own recognition
OF incompetency to satisfy them, the logical infer.
ence imperatiyely required bis dismssion. he has
accomplished this gracefully without endangering
his reputation Or Notifying his friends We con.
graduate him. them, and the country, on th;, evil
idence Of his Democracy and patriotism.
