credi. to himself. has a most peculiar and
ininlical style of disciplining his attaches.
First, each and every employe is the re-
cipent of the most marked courtesy and
dignitied politencss.
His style is somewhat thus: Il is we'll
remembered that he assumed his official
chair about seven O'Clock one evening. and
proceeded at once to repair the Yreck of the
city government.
About eight A. NJ. the next day the
estimable late doorkeepor appeared. and
was much surprised to lind his passage OBJ
structed by new doorkeeper, who said the
Mayor could not be seen.
''The devil he can't" said the old porter;
Il know very well he is not down yet
'Oh. yes he is said the new one: ''he has
been down since FIVE o'clock"
The old porter rubbed his head and
asked 'What does ali this mean, -
What Mayor are you speaking off, said
the new porter.
Mayor Conway." was the reply.
''OI,, p'shaw!" said the new porter: II
am talking about Mayor Flanders
The old porter promptly and politely
waited upon Mayor Flanders, who said: ale
regretted that he had lost his place: indeed
he did not knew there was a porter; he
came in to attend 10 business the night be-
fore he saw 40 porter at his post, and
needed one then
few days later Governor Flanders
turned his attention to the Office with.
Good morning gentlemen. You must e.y-
cuse me: forgot to inform you that at
present our office hours will be from 9 A. NJ.
until P. NJ" Then politely turning to the
messenger and little doorheeper, he said ::
Boys. your Office hours will be from A.
NJ until 10 ?. III. You are both to be here
from until 3 2. NJ: regulate the other
hours between you. and if you can not
regulate them, will regulate them for

AS fragments of the iron-clad Captain
found so far belonged to no vital part of the
ship, it is thought her hull may have drifted
seaward.
From accounts of the storm, it seems that
the gale was increasing, and on Wednesday
morning the signal was given for the
squadron to near the ship. The Captains
response was not seen. The rest of the
feet ran before the wind III til out of. sight
of the Captain. At seven o'clock q heavy
squall occurred, which probably threw tho
Captain on her beam ends.
The bodies found were those of the men
whose duty it was to wear the ship. It ia
possible that the vessel was driven to sea
after being wrecked, and the bodies of the
men found were washed off. The names of
the officers and the seventeen men reported
saved are unknown.

A GROWING CHURCH.

The Methodist Episcopal Church, before
1865, had no church ediice, or society in
Louisiana. For time some of their preach
ers supplied vacant pulpits in this city, be-
longing 10 the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South.
The government Of the United States di-
rected that three churches occupied by col
ored people should DO put in their own
hands, leaving them free to choose Their
church relations. These churches voted to
adhere to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Is represented then by DR.. Newman, and
others. The doctor was enabled manly
with church funds. to build Ames Chapel
afterward. The Church Extension Society
aided feeble societies formed under the
new auspices IN and near the city, so
that in five years six Others in all were
built and occupied. And in other parts OF
the State, by the same means, thirty small
churches have been built and paid tor by
church funds mainly.
Such liberal aid to, and generous provis-
ion for, people then so much in need, met
a prompt response Of hearty confidence
and auickenod energy. With an approprla-
ton of missionary money, besides, which
averaged about one hundred dollars an
nually to each of thirty preachers, the peO-
pie have been able to support fifty preach
ers during the last year.
The last statistics report Sis2 communi
cants. Bapt;sns during the year 1869. adult
and infant, 1921. These figures exceed the
reports of the Southern Methodists. for tho
same year, several hundreds. And in New
Orleans the statistics show that this organi-
zation of five years growth, has as many
churches, and seven hundred more church
members, than the Southern Methodists
have.
Exceeding now the hitherto largest Meth
odist body, and having mere than double
TIE number of communicates found in the
Protestant Episcopal Church, the Methodist
Episcopal Church to day, in Louisiana. Is
perhaps second to none among all the Pro-
testant Churches. How long it will be be-
fore, as in the nation at large, this church
shall lead in numerical strength all Chris
tian denominations in this State, may be
only question of time.
Four presiding elders are continually
moving over the State, visiting and encour-
aging all the churches quarterly. and look
ing up Zew openings tor churches. Por-
tons of our State, where no Protestant
Churches exist, are now receiving atten-
tion, and are the subject of correspondence
with the authorities with view to extend

difference between the paper and effective
force of the army, and which, to certain
extent, explains why the Emperor rushed
into the war, although he knew he was un-
prepared for it. OF late years his civil list

the lavish expense of his court, his largesses
to his adherents and the secret service.

love of imperialism among his subjects.
About 900 900 pounds sterling were there
fore taken from the ministry of war and
handed over to him. This larceny was con
cealed by army stores figuring in accounts
which never had been bought, and
loanirg money which was paid into
the military treasury by those who
were drawn for cOnscription to enable
the government to buy substitutes.
Regiments fully 1000 strong only had an
effective force of 1900 The money for the
substitutes and the supposed yearly cost of
substitutes was appropriated to tho civil
list.
FRAUDS TO BE CONCEALED.
While tho Emperor was obliged, 0 few
months ago, to yield to the cry of par

many constituti0naists that even if there
We're still an imperial majority, these scan

His only chance. therefore, was to wage
war. A successful campaign gained, might
put off the parliamentary government. and
if that were impossible. a falling off in men

Hard on the Boy.

The New York Commercial 43rcos'se'
says:
One of the roughest among the very
rough things which King William has lat
terly played upon the French is his failure
to recognize the tranquil infant. Here was
little shaver, who had been the pride and
admiration Of Il royal dynasty, whose pres
ence on the streets of Paris was the sigma
for cheering, hat raising. and other demon
strations of enthusiasm; who was held i'll
such love by the soldiers that ''they wept'
when he stopped to pick up bullets on the
battle field. And yet, when this eight-yea
old, this son of his father, this junior mem
Der of the firm of Louis and |, was cOOped
up in McMahon's military lines with his
sire, King William did not think the urchiI
of sufficient Importance to chronicle either
his capture or escape. This was, indeed
heaping insult upon injury. and we can
fancy the infant doubling up his fists at the
old King VIXEN his back is turned. and
threatening to one day show him that he il
of sufficient Importance TO be mentioned il
