OuR HANDS The human hand is SO
beautifully formed, it has SO fiue sen
sibility, that sensibility governs its
motion SO correctly, every effort of the
will is answered so instantly, as If the
hand itself were the seat of the will; its
actions are so free, so powerful aud yet
SO delicate, that it seems to possess a
quality instict in itself, aud We use it as
we draw our breath, unconsciously, and
have lost all recolleetious Of the feeble
and ill-directed efforts of its first exer.
else, BY which it has beer perfected.
In the hand there are twenty bones
from the mech nism of which result
strength, mobility and elasticity. On
the length, strength, free lateral motion,
and perfect mobility of the thumb, de-
pends the power Of the haud, its strength
being equal to that of all the fingers.
Without the fieshy bali Of the thumb.
the power of the fingers would avail
nothing; and accordingly the large ball
formed by the muscles Of the thumb is
the distinguishing character of the hu.
man hand

WHY LACE is CosTLY.-Many peo.
pie wonder why what is termed real
lace--as lace made by Land is called. TO
distinguish 1t from that made by ma.
chine, which is called imitation-is so
costly. The following paragraphs from
foreign exchange explain the reason :
The manufacture of lace is carried TO
ITS highest perfection in Belgium. The
finest specimen of Brussels lace is so
complicated as to require the labor of
seven persons on enc piece, and each
operative is employed at distinct fea.
lures of the work. The thread used is
OF exquisite iineness, which is spun in
dark, underground rooms where it is
sufficiently moist to prevent the thread
from separating.
~ Is so delicate as scarcely to be seen
and the room is so arranged that all the
ilsht admitted shall fall upon the work.
IL Is such material that renders the
genuine Brussels ground SO costly. On
piece OF Vallenciennes not two inches
wide from two to three hundred bobb;ns
are sometimes used, and for the larger
width as many as eight hundred on the
same pillow. The most valuable Val.
leneIennes is determined by the number
OF times the bobbins have been twisted
IN making the ground the more fire..
quent the twists the clearer and more
beautiful will be the lace. Belgium
annually sells of this lace alone to the
value Of over s4,000,000. Chantillv
Ia lace Is always black, and is used chiefly
Tor wells and hounces. II is very fine
and Is extensively worn. Mechlin lace
Is made at Mcehin, Antwerp aud other
localities.

HON. FRANK MOREY.

We briefly announced on Sunday morn
ing that the Republicans of the Fifth
Congressional District had nominated
Hon. Frank Morey as their candidate for
Congress. He will run for both the short
and long terms.
Mr.. Morey has peculiar claims upon the
Republicans Of his district. He has rep
resented a portion Of them with signal
ability in the lower branch Of our General
Assembly, and has found time and applied
his means to establish and maintain a ster-
ling Republican paper in one of the chief
towns in North Louisiana.
At the Congressional election in 1868,
Mr.. Morey was put forward by the Repub-
hcan party as its candidate against George
W. McCranie, a man Of the most uncom-
promising and ultra Democratic-Conserva
tive principles and practices. After a gal
liant contest On the part of the Republi-
cans, who had the advantage two to one
IN votes but were greatly inferior
III piotoio, hIlStS, aHu IONtieS, tue 1T
publican voters were kept away from the
polls to such an extent that a fair express
sion of the popular will was not had in
the pretended election. The result was
that the House of Representatives RENTED
the question back to the district for a new
trial. McCranie, whose last supporter
was permitted to vote for him was far be-
hind a majority of the voters Of the dis
trict, but the House declined to go further
than to declare that he was not entitled to
a seat. This rebuke will not, probably,
be forgotten soon by the lawless men of
the Fifth District. The same candidates
viii probably be presented again this fall.
Every Republican should see to it that
Mr.. Morey receives his vote. It is no
more than is due to him for his patriot
ism, ability, and faithful adherence to the
party interest. The district is clearly
Republican by a good, safe majority, and a
fair, full vote is all cur friends demand.
They are content to let the issue rest upon q
fair showing, when. if they are outyoted,
they will acquiesce cheertully in the result,
whatever it may be.

OPPOSED TO THE REVISION OF THE
RTET,E.

The annual Episcopal Convention for
the diocese Of Indiana adjourned last Fri
day, after a four days session. The prin-
cipal feature Of the proceedings was the
protest Of the convention against the re-
vision Of the Bible, which is now in pro-
gress at Canterbury, England, under the
direction of the bishops of the established
church. Without assuming any direct
antagonism TO the work Of revision, if
properly initiated and perfected, the con-
vention objected to the attempt at Canter-
bury because it was commenced without
any previous consultation with other
churches, and some of the members of
commission are Objectionable from their
previously expressed opinions concerning
certain disputed points. Under these
circumstances, the bishops Of the Indiana
diocese doubt whether. the Bible, which
may be adopted Canterbury, Will ever
amount to anything more than a new
cause of quarrel between those who ought
70 pc agreed on this important subject.
The convention was almost q unit in eX-
pressing the above opinions.

ON C%ARONDELET STEEET.

Really there isn't on the face Of the
round world a pleasanter set of gentlemen
than the New Orleans brokers, and they
are remarkably astute and discriminating,
but still some OF them can't see the force
which really was exhibited in our article
of Sunday, relative to the proposition to
exclude reporters from the Brokers Board.
The idea o~fkeeping the public in the dirk
relative to the prices OF securities seems to
be gaining ground, but, gentlemen, that
is not a pretty idea. BY selling particular
stocks Oh private terms, not letting the
public know anything Of their street value,
and choking Of the u~tterances OF the
the board there is a fine chance for deal
ing with crStomers 10 a~dvaatage; but at
the same time the public IS not too obtuse
to see the pcipt, and, sooner or later, the
brokers who shun the lght will find out
that they are not wanted by the crowd Of
| specnlating capitalists. The vide-awake
brokers Of Northern cities are not averse
to having the Vlole people see their opera
TONS. Ey their fairness and open dealing
they invite and receive confidence. But"
saws MIR. A., bids and offers to sell are
| made in the board with the intention of
| deceiving the public" You are undoubt-
| edly right, Mr.. A., but the public is also
| deceived by street talk, and so are the re-
porters, every now and then. It is the
business of the brokers who don't ever go
into humbug, to prevent the danger OF
deception at the moment. They can do
it easily enough. Certainly our Caronde-
let street gentlemen are honest enough,
and energetic enough, to keep their board
reasonably up to the mark. But if the
sessions are to be secret, there is nc
sense in keeping up the board. The
thing ought to be managed in the light OF
day or given up. If it is surrendered to

COTTON AND POLITICS,

Does rot the New York HerGld go a
little out Of the way to draw a false con-
cluB sion, when it says that the splendid
cotton crop of 1870 knocks the pins from
under the reconstruction laws? What if
we should say that the cotton crop, as a
political argument, rather sets up the re-
con Instruction laws than otherwise, might
We not claim to have the best end of the
argument? Because, since we have both
the laws and the cotton, how can one be
sal to oppose the Other? Now if we did
not have the cotton, then the laws might
be blamed; but having the staple, the
laws ought certainly to be credited with
tht gain, if they are to be called in ques-
tion at all. To a plain man, this seems
to be the true line of reason. Why does
not the Herald at once charge the recon-
str uction laws with the deprecated
price Of our cotton? It was said
four, three, two, and even one year
ago, that if the reconstruction laws
were enforced, the South would be ruined
and We should have but a paltry two mil
lilo Ms Of bales. The biggest fool in the
country remembers ell the rigmarole of
disastrous results that were to follow the
Congressional policy if it was not miti-
gated. The negroes were to be fed in
id eness; ignorance and superstition were

wds to vanish from the fields, and labor
was to laze about in the sun. All this
was foretold as the result Of RECONSTRUCT
ton; and Congress was belabored day
| after day to undo its work for the benefit
of the country. Stupid Congress that
! did net see how its interference with the
| gir-sad-sugar party was destroying the
| Soatl and running NoIthern trade. And
vet we have in 1870, $500, 900 bales of
cotton, equal even at its present depre-
| citation in price to s2O8, 900, Gee, And
while we have been raising all this cot
ton, the same section Of country has been

and has had plenty OF labor 20 raise almost

We had the pleasure of a call, yester-

standard bearers Of Republicanisn il
West Baton Rouge. He reports the situa-
ton as being quite cheering, with unity
and organization in the party. We re-
produced, some days ego, from the
columns Of the Sugar PJ0fter, the speech
delivered to his constituents by Mr..
Allan on the occasion Of his giving an
account OF his mission to the State Con-
y%ention, of which he was a member. We
regard Mr.. Adams election for represen-

a d~ark-lantern policy, there will be,
doubtless, enterprise and acuteness
enough shown among the minority to give
the public a fair chance after all. The
public owns the stocks and pays the
brokers, and has a right to q say in the
premises, or at least it has a great interest
therein. Our interest is entirely that of
the public in the matter. If the brokers
can't get on without this hole-in-the-wall
policy, their business is not desirable.

about fifty-iye thousand fraudulent votes.
Somehow this little reminder always sets
them back a peg OF two, and a friend OF

having his c~heerfulness vinegared over
