what was the cause of it. He be-
gan to grow a little scared. He
found that unless there was a
speedy stop put to his state of
feelings, he would never get out
OF town a live man, but would be
boxed up and sent home as a
'demnition body" At last, he
beckoned to one of his neighbors,
who was also a witness in the
court. George" said he, sol
emnly, "sump'n's the matter with
me as sure as you're born! [ be-
heve Pm gwine to sweat myself
to death right here. The sweat
is jest a Dustin out all over me-"
"Why, what's the matser, Bill g.
asked his friend "You do look as
hot as if you'd just crawled out of
a bake oven. Maybe it's them
oysters-do you feel anything
like a cramp about your innards ?"
b" No." said Bill, ruefully, "I
don't feel no cramp nowheres
about me; [ never felt better. in
my life than [ did when [ sot
down here, but Eve been SWEET
tin and a swettin' till I'm as wet
as a drownded rat" Just then he
placed his hands on the register
for the first time, and springing
to bis. feet he exclaimed, "Why,
hello here, dam if that pile of iron
amt as hot as thunder, and I've
been settin' on it till I've scorch-
ed hole in my breeches big
enough to crawl through. Jest
to think that [ was dam fool
enough to set there and nearly
burn up without knowin' what
allied me! George, less 60 and
git another drink of that ten-cent
whisky. Dam if I didn't think [
was gwine up the spout like a
regular billed owl-dam if I didn't"
And casting a vindictive look at
the "pile OF hot iron" upon which
he came so near melting, he and
his friend went out in search of a
couple or so of cheap drinks.

A REG'LAR BILLED OWL.

One of the boys played an ugly
trick upon a gentleman from the
rural districts, in the United
States court room, the other day.
The room was pretty full of folks
of one sort and another-some of
them principals and witnesses in
eases on trial, and the rest were
spectators of the process Of dis
pensing United States Justice and
equity-and sitting room was at
a premium and the market poorly
supplied. Looking around for a
place to sit down and rest his
weary legs, the agricultural wit
ness noticed that the register by
which the room was, heated was
unoccupied, land Immediately
threw himself upon it with a sigh
Of relief, having no idea as to
what the thing was intended for.
Seeing him seated thus, tone of
the boyso in question-(Whos
name we won't give, because we
ean't-quietly walked up and
turned the gauge which regulates
the temperature of the apparatus.
Pretty soon our rural friend be-
gan to feel uncomfortablF warm,
and by the time another pretty

perspiration had begun to pour
down into his boots in great
streams. Still he kept his seat.
He felt excessively queer, but for
the life of him he couldn't tell

for the purpose of exercising his profess

STATE CONVENTION.

The only practicable and cons.
titutlonal remedy for the present
anomalous condition of affairs in
Louisiana, is the convocation of a
State Convention, to organize a
government which sshall be SUBJ
mitted to the lawful voters of the
State for their approval. Such a
course would be in strict eonson-
anee wi th the reconstruction acts
which, while regulating and pres
cribing the conditions for the re-
Mobilization of the States, ex-
pressly renounced and disclaimed
ALL spoWer and authority to con-
troll the suffrage Of the States af-
ter their reconstruction.
The present State government
was elected by a suffrage pres
cribed and regulated by an act of
Congress. The people of Louisi-
ana have right to choose their
political agents, according to
their own Constitution. War
moth & Co. did very well as a
provisional government; but the
moment the State was recon-
structed by the admission of it's
members to their seats in Con-
gress, and the adoption of the
fourteenth amendment, the power
of Congress over the suffrage of
the State and it's internal affairs
ceased. d. -.. ..@ ..s
Our people have the right,
therefore, to demand that the
present provisional government
of the State should be superseded
by one elected under and in con-
formity with the Constitution.
There is no other mode Of salts
flying them or inducing their
peaceful submission to the pres
ent State government, and their
cheerful cooperation in support
ing and aiding the. execution of
laws which they are supposed to
enact through their. own repre-
sentatlves. .'.a 5-t.
Under the present government
there will be perpetual discord,
disturbance and hostility to the
authorities, The taxes will be re-
sisted, the bonds of the State will
be discredited, and every obstacle
will be thrown in the way of the
political frlnctionaries. fTheFed-
eral Government cannot prevent
these disorders. There is a sim
pie, straightforward, honest mode
Of reaching and e1tinguishing the
source of all this trouble. It is
that the Governor convene the
Legislature and that body enact
law providing for the holding Of
Convention to adopt a perma-
nent Constitution, to be voted for
by all the lawful voters, of. the
State. Either let this be done or
let our State functionaries prac-
tice as much of honesty and self
denial as are displayed by the
ministers in England who, when
in minority, submit to the. pop
ular suffrage the decision of the
questions at issue. @'@ '7' ~s.'''
Let neither proposition be ac-
cepted, and the present State au-
thorities will have a thorny path
to travel. The difficulties and
perils they have already passed
through will be idle and innoeu-
Gus manifestations. of popular
hostility compared with those
which will thicken ands,darken
around their course in, the future
prosecution Of their usurped and
iniquitous goyernment.-Iinaes.
