IHE WAY 1T WoRKs!-Our contemporary.
the Advocate, Is so waggish that we like TO
record its little eccentrlcities for the benefit
OF oIr readers. Last week in speaking Of the
Donaldsonville Convention, it facetiously
called Hon. MICHAEL RYAN, formerly State
Senator from Rapides, PADDY RYAN! Now
it somewhat family occurs to US that when
that gentleman was in the Senate, the .Aduo-
cate was always SO courteous in speaking of
him as { Hon. MICHAEL Ryan" and if on:
memory serves us correctly, a little puff
was occasionally bestowed upon him by our
witty contemporary. But that was when Mr.
Ryan was a harmonious member of the Long
tail Democracy. That gentleman in the ex-
ercise Of his unquestionable right as an
American citizen, thought proper to attend
the DonaIdsonviIle Convention, as a delegate
from the parish of Rapides, in Behalf Of the
Bob Tail Democracy, whose views of matters
and things he deemed proper to endorse
Mark the marvellous change! How furcibIy
the anecdote Of " Brother Dickson is brought
to our memory. Old Dickson was a negro
barber, and had, at one time, been a member
Of the church. One day a customer asked
him why he had quilted the church. Dick
sou replied: You see massa, when / iust
jined dc church l was able to glib ten dollars
a year to it, and den tey called me Brudder
Dickson business got bad ar,er a while. and
I could only afford to glib five dollars a year.
den dey called me Mister Dickson but
bimeby business got so bad dat | couldn't at.
ford to give muffin to de church, and den dey
called me ole Niger Dickson, and den Iqait."
And SO with Mr.. RYAN. So long as he was
a regular contributor to the Old Line church,
it was Hon MICHAEL Ryan," but when the
contributions ceased, it was PADDY RYAn!
Our naturalized citizens will please make a
note Of this slur upon the foreigner.
