IMPORTANT ARREsT.-James Il. ". ,Cousart.
the defaulting postmaster at this place, and
who made his escape from the county jail over
q wear ago, was arrested by the United States
authorities in Charlotte, N. c., on Friday last,
and In default of $4,000 bail, committed 10
prison. We presume that the charges against
Mr. Cousart are still fresh in the minds Of our
readers. In short conversation with him,
we learned that he had spent most of mis- time
in Virginia and North Carolina. He remained
in this vicinity but three days after he got out
of Jail, and LETT here with only twenty dollars
in his pocket. He appeared Indifferent to his
arrest and the consequences to follow.

Talent and tact.

Talent is serious, grave, sober and res
pectable. Tact is all that, and more too
1t is not distinctly sixth sense, but the
life of all five. 1t is the open eye, the
quick ear, the judging taste, the keen
smell, ths lively touch. It is the inter-
prefer of all riddles, and the remover of
every obstacle, and shows a man his
way in the world. Talent is power !;
tact is skill. Talent is weight; tact is
momentum. Talent is wealth, while
tact is ready money. For all practical
purposes tact carries it against talent ten
to one. Take them to the theatre; one
will produce play that will fall dead
upon it's first representation the other
will keep the house full every night.
One makes the world wonder that it
moves no faster the other excites as
constituent that it moves SO fast. Take
them into the church talent convinces !;
tact converts. Take them to court; tai
ent feels its way; tact finds its way.
Talents command tact is obeyed. Tai
ent has the ears of the house tact wins
its hearts and votes. Talent is a fine
thing to talk about, but tact is the talent
of talents, the eye of discrimination, the
right hand of intellect.

Why Women Don't nrive Men
Out Of Business.

S. T. Taylor addresses the following
to the editor of the New York Sun {:
"In your issue Of yesterday, l find a
complaint by 'Netta,' as an employee
in some store as a saleswoman. Her
story of long hours, small pay, and hard
ship, have no doubt, Is III some in
stances correct.
"The question should arise in her
mind, and others i'll general so situated.
Is there no remedy for this ! l say
there is. The leading dressmakers and
milliners in this city find it next to an
impossibility to get good and efficient
help in these two branches OF art, and
many in the former branch are driven to
the necessity of employing men dress.
Makers. as ladies cannot be hi ed, aud
these men are making o. piece work
from $15 to $40 week.
Il am engaged in trying to fit ladies'
for situations as dresscutters and dress
makers for such I can get from sl5 to
$25 week, and | have three applica-
tions at this time, and no one suitable
to eli them.
"Mr. Editor, the fact is that the boys
and girls of the present age are not will
ing to learn trades; they are trying to
get along without work, aud this very
spirit Of the times is now leading some
Of our young ladies into paths not so
desirable. l tell you, sir, there is room
for hundreds of thousands OF them, in
paying and highly honorable employ
ments, if they are but willing to fit
themselves for them"

The Backbone Railroad

Whilst all the other railroads of the
State are involved in serious and per-
picking litigation, one at least is quietly
pursuing its design with undisturbed
peace, security and energy. We allude
20 the New orleans. Baton Rouge and
Vicksburg Railroad, familiarly aud ex-
pressively known as the Backbone
Railroad.
. This Company has achieved several
brilliant negotiations, which must put
it on strong basis. Having already
grant of 1880 per mile from the State
on a second mortgage, it has effected a
lone of $12. 500 on first mortgage
the total of said loan reaching the large
sum of $6,000,o00 This will furnish
an abundant fund, to build not only the
main trunk but the several branches OF
their road which make up the grand
plan.
The company has purchased from w.
s. Pike, for 100000, the charter and
property of the Baton Rouge and Crosse
iTete Road. which, starting on the west
bank of the Mississippi, opposite to Ba.
ton Rouge, runs some thirty miles along
the ridge Of an exceedingly rich aauvial
country to the Atcbafalaya Here il
strikes the line of route known as Judge
Boyce's line, the charter and rights to
which have also been purchased from
Judge Boyce by the Backbone Com
pany. With these connections, all te
be prosecuted under the liberal gram
of the Legislature, this road promises tt
/ be one of the most successful and hes
endowed in the South.--N. @. Times
