as formidable operator in a "fee fight" His
wife was blooming and beautiful country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and the twain
were at party where number of young folks
of both sexes were enjoying themselves in the

all the boys wished to kiss her, they were re-

How NITRo-GLYCERINE Is MADE.-This
wonderful explosive was discovered in lS47 by
an Italian, named Sobero, but its practical ap-
plication was made by Alfred Noble, a Swedish
engineer. The process by which it is made is
thus described:
Every one knows what glycerine is-a clear,
syrupy liquid sweet to the taste, and somewhat
greasy to the touch. Its scope of employment
ranges from the surgeons dispensary to the la
dys boudoir. Chemists term it triatomic al
cohol, and it may be derived from fat or tallow
by the action of lime and sulphuric acid. Its
properties are many and various, but as they
have no bearing upon the present subject, we
shall abstain from noticing them. If aquanti-
ty of nitric acid be added to twice its weight of
sulphuric acid, glycerine be poured into this,
and carefully stirred-the whole being sur
rounded by freezing mixture-we obtain that
wonderful substance known as nitro-gycerine,
which has moro than ten times the explosive
force of gunpowder. 1t forms on the surface
as an oily liquid of pale yellow color. is per-
fectly inodorus, and has asweet, aromatic taste.
1t is poisonous, whether taken internally or ab-
sorbed through the skin, aud small doses of it
produce distressing headaches.
1t does not explode when brought in contact
with fire, and remains unchanged even when
raised to the temperature of boiling water (;
but at about forty degrees Fahrenheit it be-
comes converted into IN ice mass which merely
requires friction to develop all its explosive
qualities.

A PERSIAN SToRY-There was once q
prince who, being much displeased with one of
his nobles determined to punish him. The
prince commanded that he should be shut in 5
high tower. Into this tower there was only one
entrance, which was walled up Immediately afs
ter the nobleman had been placed there. Thus
all hope of escape seemed to ibe cut off and
the unhappy man was left to perish. Inside
the tower was long winding staircase; the
prisoner reached the top. While looking down
from there, he observed his wife, who had come,
indulging faint hope that she might be able
by some means or other to cid her husband IN
escaping from his place of confinement. On
inquiring if she could be of any service to him,
he replied: 20, yes, go and procure black bee.
tie, little grease, skein of silk, skein of
twine, and long rope"
The poor wife hastened to obtain what her
dear husband asked for-wondering NO doubt
at the strangeness of his request She soon re-
turned, furnished with the things. Her hus-
band then directed her to put the grease on the
beetles head, to hsten the silk to Its hind legf
the twine, to the silk, and therope to the twines
and then place the beetle on the wall, OF the
tower On being set at liberty on the wall
the beetle smelling the grease on its head, and!
not being able to discover where it was, crept
up TO the tower in search of it till it reached the
top. The noble caught it, and taking the silk
from its hind leg, carefully drew it up. Whsu
he cameto the end of the silk he found the twine
and next he came to the rope Fastening this
to crook he let himself down and made his
escape.

SAVING THE BAG-As one good thing neccs-
states another, las the man found who built g
new house and ruined himself furnishing it,
We cannot forbear telling an incident which
happened in the same town, which, like the
first, rebounds to the credit of Young America,
lately somewhat under the ban. The story needs
an explanatory introduction, which, in spite of
Spartan intentions, as regards brevity, may be
longer than that which it precedes. Atan early
day in the history of the village which is the
locale of the incident in question, man whom
we will call Huntington, dug race from the
lake on whose margin the village lay through
to the low lands of the Upper Kandakee, and
on it reared grist mill.
The 'spower" soon became so reduced in vol
ume that the miller would throw bag of corn
into the hopper and 60 away for an indefinite
time, lounging about the village often for a
whole half day. In the process of time q. got
so hard up that he had to make up by heavy
"tolling" what was lacking in the number and
amount of grists coming to the mill. One
morning, early, when things had "gotten to
the worst" a small boy, mounted on bobtailed
steed, and having behind him bag of corn,
might have been seen leisurely vending his
way to the mill. The forenoon passed quietly,
and no signs of great event or storm ap-
peared in the sky or on earth. But this could
not last forever. Suddenly the air vibrated
wi with the heavy footballs of horse, and soon
flying steed turned into the main street, urged
each instant to still mightier exertions by the
frantic rider, who was no other than the quiet
child whom we have already seen proceeding
80 peaceably to mill. At the upper end of the
street, which was the foot of an abrupt hill, the
washings of preceding years had covered the
old road bed with layer of loose sand, and
just as the boy and horse reached this point II
their mad fight, curious villager hailed the
rider with the nterrUgatory lis any one one dead dead
your b2ss and rsl THIS dae55y 5y AND add e
to question the boy gave negative reply
but added, half under his breath and looking
behind to see whether ho was pursued-"I hav'
been to Huntington's Mill-he has taken m,
grists, and am trying to get home with tn
! bag"

the "dead- beats" of journalism In
this State. He would not continue
such an outrageous nuisance IN the
premises of the government.
Here is the causeof the whole busl-
ness. These Journals, so ruthlessly
cut off in the prime of life, were the
pap upon which these people OF the
Eaq subsisted. As to any and all
aspersions on the official conduct
Fof Mr.. Pinchback, we cast it in the
teeth of those who utter it. The edi-
tor of the Fag cannot prove himself
honest by calling every other man
thief, nor is it possible to show he is
right by denouneing his opponents as
in the wrong. He who first loses
his temper, has lost the battle Also"
and if & gentlemen are made of such
material as showed itself in the col
umns of the Fdg, let us all travel in
the opposite direction.

resent nothing in louisiana" whom
do the Carter men represent? A
fugitive from his adopted State, this
would-be Governor, according to the
Galveston papers g left his country
for his country's good.n At home he
cannot command a corporal's guard,
and could not be elected an acting
sub-assistant deputy constable. By
his own confession he is jack of all
trades, master of none.n In the
course of few years he has success
siyely appeared as psalm-singing
hypocrite, pettifogger, a false friend,
a lobbyist, a politician and a news
paper slang whanger. In all these
capacities the personal character of
the man as a trucking lick-spittle
has cropped out from the mask of
good purpose, which fits him so
badly that, like the .jackass who
would not wear the lions skin, he
cannot hide, do what he will, the
ass ears.
Under wilful and persistent mis-
representation, distortion of the truth,
warping of published statements and
direct installations, we have remained
almost silent. Small rs the assailant
is, politically and socially, yet.even a
lion may be .fretted to death by a
gnat. We have grown tired of him.

AN UNsoUGHT HONOR.

1t is not without certain degree of
pride commingled with pleasure that
we inform our readers of the designa-
ton of the CHIEF as official journal of
the Parish of Ascension. The Cover
nor and Lieutenant Governor of the
State have seen fit to confer this hon
or upon us unasked, and we conse-
quently cannot but regard it as a rec.
ignition on their part of our services
in the ranks of the party of which
they are the acknowledged leaders.
We have endeavored to publish a
good newspaper, and do not think any
one will charge us with egotism when
we claim that the CHIEF has earned a
right to the designation as official
journal. We shall not allow our good
fortune to detract in any manner from
the merits of our journal, but shall
rather increase our efforts to make it
a valuable medium for the imparting
of instruction, and faithful chronicler
of home and foreign news.
