The Alexandria Democrat of the
s inst. says: ~
The good old days Of 1887 have come
on us again! On Monday the property Of
the late Judge Ogden was sold at public
sale-the land was sold at the low and
reduced price Of eighty dollars per acre;
The negroes sold at enormous prices;
several young lads brought serenteen Aua-
1red dollars. The Mules, Furniture. &c.
&c; all brought proportionate prices to
the land and slaves. We must not forget
to specify one special instance Of a rare
bargain. A venerable friend Of ours pur-
chased Jack, aged l27years. and his wife,
Patience, aged ll6 years, for four hnn-
dred and eighty dollars. A bargain! cer-
tain, and no mistake!

V Since we hnGame the owner Of the
Pelican, we have Wrought that our pa
irons had the right to find iu it all local
news and matters Of Importance. The pro-
ceedings ofthe Police Jury being Of that
range, we concluded to publish them re-
.gularly, whether bald for it or not. TO
that effect we petitioned on last Monday
that Honorable body for a copy Of their
proceedings from this date and it was
generously granted. If an Editor fails to
get the annual contract for said publica-
ton, his readers must not suffer from it
and it is in agreement with our views up
ON that snbject that'we will, in future,
publish said proceedings in our paper.
We begin with that publication to-
day.

SELF-RKsPECT IN THE DINING Room.
Where the things in common use are much in

family live IN continual dread OF accidental
visitors, and meal time is season Of secresy
A ring al the door bell produces the greatest

up broken dish and puts into the closet, tells
one daughter 10 hide the pitcher that has no
handle, and another TO carry away the old
plates and common spoons, while she runs TO
the sldeboard for better ones 10 supply their
places, 1t Is only a note after all, so the whole
scramble is for nothing. Now would it not b.
more refined and dignified, as well AS more
honest and comfortable, to live better every
day and make less parade before company.
Instead OF using ordinary ware and parts of
broken sets OF different patterns when alone,
and having an expensive set Of French porcelain
IN the closet for great ions, would il not be

of one hundred dollars to ten that in one week
he would dine in Washington We accepted
