Frank Blair has taken a
very strange position in poll
tics. He says tho New De
parture has ruined the Demo-
caatic party, and, therefore,
that they should N eet in con-
vention and nominate a Re-
publican for president in oppo-
sition to Grant. Hair himself
is a very heavy load to carry.
and if we put him to drire the
wagon, we are certain to break
down.
Many Influential papers of
the old Democratic school, as
the st. Louis Republican and
N. o. Times, are advising the
simple dissolution Of the party,
whereby, they say, the Demo
Gratis will ally themselves with
the Liberal wing OF the Repub
lieans, and thus defeat Grant.
This is indeed a far better
scheme than Bkir's and is
nothing but a coalition be-
tween parties now differing
but little only i'm name The
Radical Republican is quite q
distinct annual from the Liber-
al. The frs5 would continue

enemies for ever; the second
would relieve us Of all disa-
bilities, and cure us of our
spleen by kindness. Carl
Schurz, the Dutchman, now
leads the Liberals. His repu-
tation has become so great,
that his friends are proposing a
sixteenth amendment, allow
ing foreigners to be president
in order to give him the posi-
ton.

thus through the day and by
night you will be prepared to
see various phases of fun-the
splendid fddling in the sa-
looms, the oratory of the auc-
tioneer, battles with the tiger,
and-and other fire things
too numerous to mention. Con-
time thus through your al
lotted days and money, and
vary the programme by the
excitement of fghcing and
making excuses to tie Record
er. At the end of your allotted
time, we are thinking, you will
have discovered that fun thus
pursued, is but phan tasm; that
instead of enjoying the bliss of
Elysium, you have had a strong
foretaste of He'll. Your sweet
has turned to bitter. May be,
however, this bitter will re-
dound to yonr benefit in tine
other world to which you are
downward tending. When
cid Charon shall have ferried
You over Styx, and the bar
keeper on the other shore shall
have treated you to drink of
melted lead, you can smile
upon him with scoln as You
inform him that you were used
to bald faced whisky on Earth;
and when the prince of dark
ness shall hurl you into the
lake of fire and brin stone, You
can scream back to him, that
you have suffered far more ON
earth from wounds received in
the wars of Venus.
Business before pleasure, "
therefore, and. let the pleasure
he the consequence of well
performed business. "Seek
pleasure" poor Richard says,
"and she will flee from YOU"
On the other hand, disregard
her allurements and attend
strictly to business, and she will
often surprise you with heI
presence when You least ex.
pect it.

Red river has risen very
rapidly of late, and is now in
good boating condition. Bod
can being low, the red water
through Mack's bayou is COM
ing up into it and is staining
the waters of Red Chute
Mack's bayou should, by all
means, be closed if ever our
swamp is to be reclaimed. Any
railroad built from this side to
Shreveport wonld be liable to
overflow every spring, if that
bayou remains open.

ed our usual lay sermon last
week, which was crowded out
by advertisements. But we
intend to make up for lost time,
by giving all them the very
best we have this week. Our
text is, "blsiness before pleas
upe." The business of nearly
every one of us, is raising cot
ton, and by means of it, pro-
viding ourselves with the nee
essaries of life This business
just occupies three hundred
days of the year; fifty-two days
are devoted to rest and con-
temptation, and thirteen odd
ones are left over in which you
may experiment on fun.
This cotton business is by
no means completed when you
have raised, picked, ginned,
baled and lauled it to Shreve-
port and sold it. When you
have driven your wagon into
town and the buyers are sam
ping, you will be invited to
drink. Right here, remember,
selling is business. and drink
ing is fun. Don't drink then.
After selling, you again get
the invitation to drink, but
1'business before pleasure"
therefore refuse again. You
must invest the proceeds in
something TO live on. Now
buy your groceries. This fin
ished, you will be invited to
drink, Of course. But business
is not done yet; refuse again
Next lay in your dry goods
Then comes again the invita-.
ton to drink. Refuse of course
for business is not dol,e yet
Your duty now is to carry the
proceeds Of Your cotton home

ON, you will get a slight fore
taste of heaven. Now, hat
you mixed business and pleas
ure, it is quite problenatica
whether you ever would hav,
finished your business at all b,

We defy any man, even if h
