INDIGNATION THAT Is BOGUS.

A T1rCuOuSly lnOlSQAnt man Is peueIdlly
respectable, just as profusely perspiring
man is generally healthy. Indignation
carries off the surplus electricity Of the
system, Just as sweat carries off the i'm
purities of the blood. But to be respecta-
BILE, indignation must be virtuous. Sweat
that is damp and cold is never considered
indicative of sound physique; and the
man who works himself into tempest of
wrath because somebody caught his hand
in his neighbor's pocket, is not accepted
as being indignant through any excess of
honesty So with the Democracy, which
is just now blowing up its cheeks and ex-
tending it's nostrils about the registration.
The public understand the thing tolerably
we'll, and pass it by as a
kind of counterfeit of virtuous
indignation. If the Democrats have
cheated at registration, and therefore sup
pose that all other men will do the same
thing, are SO certain that fraud is in
tended, why are they making SO much
ado about carrying the city? If they are
honest believers in their own stories
about swindling at the registration offices,
why are they spending their valuable time
and proposing to spend the money of their
confding friends, in contest which they
consider to be hopeless?
The truth of the matter is the Demo-
Gratis feel satisfied that the registration
will be fairly made, and that fair return
of the legal voters Of this city will not
only give the election to the Republicans,
but that it will expose the frauds they have
perpetrated on the registration lists and
on the ballot-box in New Orleans. Here
is where the shoe pinches, and it not only
pinches here, but it hurts the same party
in New York. The census returns in New
York show that the immense Democratic
vote of that city was and is fiction.
There tremendous ward majorities are
fully exposed by an actual count Of
the people living in those rotten
pTcCluCtSs huu VIC VWW 40 AuAAy do
indignant at the census agents in
New York as the Democrat is at the regis
tration officers in New Orleans. But some
how the returns are generally accepted as
correct, and the indignants only have
their noise for their reward What is
asked in this State is what the law allows
and if an honest registration gives Re-
publican majority, who is to profit by il
but the people, while if it gives the Dem
ocrats the majority, who is to lose but the
| people We cannot be held accountable
for the errors of mankind, but We can see
that these errors are fairly confessed, and
this is just what the registration proposes
to do. The State may go Democratic,
but she shall do so honestly and not by
means of trickery at the ballot-box, OF
through the cunning Of men appointed to
count the returns. An honest vote is
what we demand in order to see how the
two parties stand in the estimation of the
people and we are prepared to say that
the Republicans will bow as gracefully tc
the result as the Democrats will. If that
is not fair. it is, at least, the best offer we
| can make at present.

The regular Republican nominee for the
State Senate for the parishes Of Assump-
ton, Lafourche and Terrebonne, Mr.. Henry
L. Swords, has been spending few days
among us, but leaves for his home to-day.
Mr. Swords is young gentleman who has
faithfully served his country in the field,
ard his ability, integrity and energy make
him popular representative Of the Repub-
ican cause. Mr.. Reese, who bolts the
ticket, is candidate in opposition, and the
address issued in his interest ungenerOusly
speaks Of his opponent as lone ID. L.
Swords, supposed to be citizen OF the
parish of Assumption, but only very lately
arrived there" This is a singular manner
OF dealing with brother officer in the
Union army. 1t can not win, however.

Life in Minnesota.

A correspondent of the st. Peter Trib.
une, writing from Backville, Brown Ccun
ty, sends to that paper the following
items:
Last year Bohemian living in an ad
joing town was plowing out corn will
his oxen, when he found that one Oh
stepped on his corn. So he took ou!
the nigh OK and put in his wife, who
knew enough to step over the hills OF
corn. Some Of the time she carried the
yoke In her arms or on ber shoulder
most of the time she put her head
through the bow like an OK, while the
stout burly farmer held the plow.
A man lived two miles from this place
named seamen. He cut himself badly
with scythe last fall, and this winter
was aboutto die, when he told his wife
that he had brother once that was bu
ried alive, and told her to cut his throat
after he was dead, So as to make a. sure
thing of it, SO she says Well, the ns,
was found dead, with bis throat cut from
ear to ear, aud we all believe her story
lie was too week to lift lis own hand. l.
1t appears that they had watchers the
night before his death, and the woman
said to persons then that she could ge,
along alone, SO we suppose he was as
dead as could be when thejob was done,
and she bad done her duty.

Nothing In the Paper"

The following spicy chapter, On the
subject Of newspapers, we clip from an
exchange -elicited, no doubt, by the too
frequent remark of the indifferent reader,
after perusing the news of the day, that
"there's nothing in the paper" 1t
says:
"And men are always srum5ling about
their papers, and insinuating how much
better they could do it. They talk as
| Ifiippantly about "fne articles on every
imaginable subject as if they could effect
such change. Let some of these over
running philosophers try 1t for one hun
dred and fifty days in succession!
.And then they think it is nothing to
select for newspaper; you have merely
torun the scissors through a half dozen
exchanges, and you have got matter
enough Now, this is the most import
ant and most difficult departments TO fill
on newspaper. Very few men have
the slightest idea how to do the work
1t requires thorough newspaper man
who knows the public appetite well !,
who knows what is going on in the
world, and who knows how to rewrite
and pack a column into dozen lines.
"Men who skim newspaper and toss
it aside, little reflect how much brain and
toll have been expended in serving up
that meal Busy heads and busy hands
have been toiling all day to gather and
prepare those viands. and some vast
building has been lit from cellar to gar
ret, all night, to get the paper ready for
the newsboy by crack of dawn.
"Nothing in the paper" Nothing in
your head that's where the fault lies"

of good cheer, for all the good there is
golden sometime when the hills and
valleys of time are all passed when the
wear and fever, the disappointment and

is the place and the rest appointed Of

fall no shadows or even clouds, and

A curious Legend.

When Adam was far advanced in years
and at the. point of DEATH. be sent his
son to the angel Michael, who kept the
gate Of Paradise, to pray for the oil of
mercy, so that he could be healed. The
angel answered that it could net be un-
til fifty-fve hundred years. but he gave
Seth branch of the tree of which Adam
had eaten, bidding him plant it on Mount
Lebanon, and that when it bore fruit his
father should be healed. Seth planted
the branch on his fathers grave; it took
root and grew. and from it we're made
Aaron's rod, aad Moses staff with which
he struck the rock and sweetened the
waters of Marah. It also formed the
pole on which the brazen serpent vas
lifted, and the ark Of the testimony. At
last it came into the hands of Solomon,
who used it in building his palace, but
it continually resisted the efforts Of the
builders to adjust it. Now ii Was, top
long, and then again too short. The
builders, being angry, then threw it into
marsh, SO that. it might serve, as y
bridge. The queen of Shcba would not
walk upon it, but adored it, and told
Solomon that upon it should be suspen,
ded the man through whose death, the
kingdom should be destroyed. Solo
mon then had it buried deep, in the
ground, where afterward the pool of
Bethesda was dug, and from the virtues
of this tree healing properties we're i'm

buried three hundred years it rose to
the surface of the water, and the Jews
took it and made it the cross of our Sa.
