ACCORDING TO GUNrER,n-The familiar phrase
according to Gunter y refers to Edmund Gunter, d
distinguished mathematician, who was born in 1881
and died in 1929. lie is best known as the inventor
of the chain commonly used by surveyors for measur
ing aIas, and of the fiat wooden rule, marked with
scales of equal parts, Of sines chords etc. and with
logarithms Of these various parts-whch is used to
solve problems in surveying and navigation mechan-
cally, with the aid Of the divders alone. Hence in
the popular use Of the phrase anything is according
to Gunter" which is done quite right and admits Of
no question or improvement. The English do not
use this expression, but say according to Cocker y
70 the same sense. Cocker, who was born about the
year 1852, and died somewhere between It'll and
I75, was the author Of work on arithmetic, which
at once obtained great popularity, and ran through
large number of editions.

SHREVEPORT

BY MRS. BETTE HUNTER.
JOY sometimes makes the human heart
selfish, worthless thing
Tho all must feel affliction's smart,
And pleasures will take wing;
Yet in thy bosom seems to glow
That jewell rich and rare
A feeling for another's woe,
4 wish to lessen care.
Thy sympathy will fall like balm,
Oft on some wounded breast;
Thy kindly words awhile will calm
Some painful threes to rest.
For often will little word
Bring an unbidden tear
/. 1t is the fountain angel stir'd,
To heal our grieying here!
Thou askest for a gush Of song
Oh would that it might tell
The earnest feelings pent-up long
That in my bosom swell;
Like tabled Mermaid's Larahe
From DER a Rat'Ey main
The strains would rise so thrilingsT
Thon wouldst not ask again.
4 wounded bird will only sing
A plantiye, Walllng trFll
Thou canst not to its carol bring
The happy notes at will.
Thou askest that sweep to-day .
The chords of JOY alone;
Bat do not chide me if my lay
Should breathe saddened tone.
TITS well when friends around us come,
Our own griefs to disguise;
To cast no shadow over one
Whose friendship we would prize;
To still the surging sea Of pain
That thro' our bosom sweeps,
And crush the rising tears again
Back to their briny deeps.
But there are sorrows Of the soul
We cannot always bow So:
And anguish leaves written scroll
Upon the fairest browl
4 bitter, hollow mockery
A careless lay would be; "..
Then let me have thy sympathy
/ cannot sing for thee!
Oh do not ask me for my heart
Has felt misfortunes sting
Which DER each chord, in spite of art,
mournfuIness doth fling
Like memory of vanished dreams,
Whose brightness pass'd with them,
So plaintive and so sad it seems
A sobbing requiem

A MAN WoLF-Rev DR.. Butler, the well known
Methodist Missionary, who established the mission o.
that church in India in 1885, recently returned to the
United States. He makes the following statement o.
remarkable case
In 1859 Brfssh soldier, while bearing dispatch
from one magistrate to another in the kingdom o.
Dude, passed an unfrequened ravine, where he saw
pack of wolves, and with them human being evil
IDENTIFY one of their company. Immediately turning
back he reported the circumstance to the magistrate
for whom he was travelling The latter forthwith
tered number of coolies and went to the place. The
flock of wolves fed short distance and sought re-
fnge in sort of cave or den Beginning to dig the
party soon discovered the feet of the wild man. and
drawing him forth, succeeded in binding and carrying
him to the town. DIR. Butler has him often since,
and says he is evidently man, and at the time of his
capture apparently about twentyfour years Of age.
The captured creature at first violently resisted the
attempt to put clothing upon him, but after while
ceased to tear the garment. He is now kept by gen
tleman in the city Of Thabiic- Vampore some eight
hundred miles west of Calcutta. When taken first he
was unwilling to eat anything but raw meat, and has
never been able to speak or make any approximation
to knowledge of the alphabet. If any one looks
earnestly sharply at him, he expresses his annoy
ance by half-uttered grunt, Immediately turning
away and settling upon his launches in the corner of
the room, or lies down. He eats his food off the
ground; and although evidently human being is III

This is certainly anomalous fact in natural histo-
ry although is said that four similar known

facts.

auenty happens that she-wolf steals into a house

the that in the schedules furnished for recording
the mortality in each place, one column is headed

DR.. Buffers theory of this strange case is that
she-wof probably carried off this person when he was
an infant but that before she deyourcd her prey the
child instinetvely searched for food. Beginning to
draw nourishment, it awoke in the wolf the maternal
INSTINCT which led to the preservation Of its life, and
thus the boy lived and grew.

lines more. want to tell you, and the
public generally, that the Sheriff still
continues to summon his political grand
juries. We took look at the grand
jury ofonr last term of four Circuit Court
and if would have been sworn to sum-
mon a jury composed of the most illit-
erte, the lowest and most prejudiced
class of our inhabitants, we would
have summoned, perhaps, the same
jury, with one or two exceptions. Large
portions of the comfy had no represen-
tative on that jury, from the fact that
there were more of the Radical stripe to
be found in that quarter of the county.
No indictments can be made against any
Radical in the county, while such jurors
are summoned, it matters not what he
may havedone. But we feel that their
end is near at hand, when times will
change and men who will administer
the affairs of the Government as it
should be, will again be in power.

ponding ratio. The very fact that
a particular branch of home
manufacture cannot compete with
the foreign made article, is evidence
that the capital employed in that busi-
ness can be used to better advantage in
some other direction. The capital and
labor of this country ought to be en-
ployed in the channels where the nat
ural laws of business would force them,
If untrammeled by legislation. There
are great many things that we
can produce to better advantage
than any other country in the
world, and to these our atten-
tion should be directed. If it costs
twice as much to manufacture a given
article in this country as it does in
Europe, it is great mistako'to "pro-
tect" the homemade article to an ex-
tent that will eblige consumers to pay
twice as much for it as they ought to
do. No, the true policy is to diminish
not to increase-the tariff. Let our in
dustry and capital be employed in pro-
ducts with which we can undersell
Europe, and then let us buy from
Europe what we cannot produce adj
