The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1869-07-10

Two 'ladieS" were having
some words together on the
roadside, when the daughter of
one of them popped her head
out of the door and cried "Be
quick, mother. and call her a
thief before she calls you one"
The moralofthe above is the
stock-in-trade of maligners.-
They call others hard names
in order to divert public atten-
ton from their own rascality.
Those tattlers who are SO prone
to expose others are generally
the baser characters of the two.
1t appears from the monthly
statement Of the Treasury De-
partment,. that of the 65,972
immigrants who arrived in this
country during the quarter end
ing September 80, 1868, 4,615
were farmers, 1,769 laborers,
$685. mechanics, 1910 mer-
chants, 1896 miners, 365 pro-
fessional eallings, 1912 ser
wants, other occupations $40,
without occupations $4,000.
Henry Ward Beeeher says
there is no harm in signing for
a neighbor if you have got the
property; if you are able to pay
the amount without harming
your own household; and if
you love the man for whom you
sign enough to give him out
right the sum covered by your
endorsement. Otherwise, to
60 surety IOr q nelgnDor is a
folly, a sin and a shame.
The explanation of the origin
of the phrase ''By hook or by
crook" is, that in the old time
persons entitled to get firewood
in the kings forests, were linn
tied to such dead branches as
they could tear down with ''a
hook or a crook, without hurt
to his mrjesty's trees.
There was a light frost al
Pennington, Me-, ON the 9TH,
Sth and 9th of June ; which
did but little injury.
The plate-glass works at New
Albany viii be the second manu-.
featuring establishment of the
kind in the United States, 1t is
said.
