The poet sits down to his desk with
an odd conceit in his brain; and pre-
sently his eyes fill with tears, his thought
slides into the minor key, and his heart
is full of sad and plaintlve melodies Or
he goes to his work, saying, "To, night
would have tears" and before he rises
from his table, he has written a bur
lesque, such as he might think lit to send
to one of the comic papers, ifthese were

involuntary, and as entirely selfevolved
by hidden organic process, as are the

it figure of speech when we talk of his
inspiration.
Honest thinkers are always stealing

PRESERVATION OF BEET LEAVES EoR
FODDER 1T is well known that in
France the beet is cultivated on a large
scale, mainly for the preparation of beet
sugar, and that the leaves are used very
larg, " for food for cattle. A difficulty
has hitherto existed in reference to this
later application, on account of the read
mess with which the leaves becomesde
composed and the impossibility of keep
ing them fresh for any considerable
length of time We are now informed
that this has been overcome by M. Mehay,
who subjects the leaves to the action of
diluted hydr chioric acid, by mears O.
which, after undergoing special treat
neEt, tn, Y can be stacked away in large
quantities and kept indefinitely for flu
ture use. The application of the acid
employed, so far from iniuripg these
leaves as food, seems to impart to them
special alimentary pecuiiarities, seen in
the production of an improved quality of
butter Several veterinary surgeons have
certified, as the result of a critical exami
nation of the experiments. that the food
gave rise To no disturbance of the diges-
tlve system, and that In every re poet the
new preparations was to be considered q
success.

which have characterized this ma

There was tolerable display OF

One or two companies of the Second

find ourselves ariven III the interest
Of our party, to enter our solemn
protest against tits, and similar
chickering's and contentious among
our most prominent officials. For
there can be no doubt that had.
there existed that entente c0rdiale
between The Governor and the
Lieutenslt Governor, which un-
questionably should exist between
them. we should not have witnessed
this disgraceful squabble. The ef-
feet of such exhibitions on the part
OF our highest officials, tends to
produce generalization among the
masses, and the little leaven" OF
discord will be found more than
sufficient to "leaven the whole
lump" into a mass of confusion,
and party anarchy worthy some OF
the recent days Of France. And
our Democratic friends, who are
ever anxious to promote strife
and dissension, and to applaud any
act calculated to divide the Repub-
lican party, would not have had
this opportunity of gloating over
what they jubilantly proclaim is an
"irreparable split" in the Republican
party.
! But after all, may we not
haye some cause for reconciling our,
selves to the evils of this "ittle
affair" since it has caused our
friends of the democratic press to
discover that Oscar the first, is mo-
SO hideous as they supposed, and
not half so Objectionable now al

action of the New Orleans jackson
and Great Northern Railroad Com
pany, in refusing him decent accom-
mediation, was SO unanimously ap
plauded by them.

discrimination on account of race

1t may be mentioned. in passing,
that to his watchfulness is due the
salary received by the Lieutenant
Governor of the State, the constitu-
ton having made no provision for
the payment Of that officer, till the
keen eye of Senator Pinchback de-
tected the omission, and he p-epere
and presented the article under
which that salary is now paid.
In 1868 Senator Pinchbacl was
chosen delegate at large to the
Chicago nominating convention.
Returning to Louisiana, having
been elected to the State Senate, he
soon began career as legislator
in which, up to the present time
he has enjoyed a constantly increas-
ing influence. In the recent contest
for United States Senator, his pop
ularity was evinced by the fatterine
vote which he received for that i'm
portant position. Without aid from
the support which power and pat
ronage bring to a candidate, and
standing alone on his personal
claims to consideration, Senator
Pinchback rallied around himself 9
host of friends, and in the final vote
stood at the head of all his com
petitors, with the single exception
Of General West, who proved the
. successful candidate. When til,
names of other aspirants to tha
position are recalled, the com
pliment paid to Senator Pinchbacl
can scarcely be over estimated
while the confidence expressed b.
the almost solid vote of the coloret
: members of the Legislature in hi
behalf, must long remain a pleasan
memory to one who has worked 81
steadily for their elevation.

PRESIDENT GRANTS FATHER
A GOLDEN WEDDING.

We received a visit a few days
ago fion the venerable Jesse Root
Grant, father of President Grant.
Mr.. Grant resides at Covington
KY, where he holds the position I
postmaster. He is in his seventy
eighth year, and on the twenty
fourth day Of this month he and hi.
wife are to celebrate the fifticth an

this long period of half a century,
Mr.. Grant informed us that neither
he nor his wife has had q single

blessed not merely with health, but
with remarkable prosperity. He
began life without capital, but b,
economy. industry and good maj :
agement, accumulated q handson e
competency, most Of which he has
already divided amongst his chill
dren, reserving. however, to himseD
sufficient for his own independent
support.
Mr.. Grant has not a commonplace
character. It is easy to perceive, by
conversation with him, that he pos
sesses traits that won d make their
mark anywhere His opportunities
for early education were extremely
limited, but he is an intelligent
thinker and good writer. He has
exerted considerable influence il

MUSKET-BALLSIN The HUMAN
BODY.

In Frazer's Magazine We find the fol-
u lowing: "a number of curious cases
of the progress of musket-balls from
the place where they are first lodged
have been observed by military sur
geons. We have heard of a remarka-
BILE case where the musket-ball struck
the forehead above the nose, and hav-
ing divided into two halves, one half
went round beneath the skin on the
right side, and the other ON the left,
advancing in contact with the skull.
We do not ask our readers to believe
the poetical edition of this fact, that
the two half bullets met again behind,
after having performed the circuit OF
the head in opposite directions, and
advancing with a slightly diminished
force, united and killed an unfortunate
man who stood in their way: but the
fact of the splitting of the bullet, and
the advance of each half in opposite
directions is unquestionable. The
singular progress Of musket-bule'
from the forehead to the throat has
been recorded by DR.. Fielding. Al
the first battle of Newbury, 1913, il
the time of the Cromwellian civil war
medical gentleman was shot near thu
night eye. The skull was fractured a
the place; but though the surgeon
could see the pulsation of the brail
beneath the wound, yet the bullet hat
turned ON one side and could not b.
discovered. Various bones we're dis
charged from the wound, the mouth
and the nostrils. At the time of tn
second battle of Newbury the woun,
healed and could not be kept open; bu
abouttvelys yeazsafserward. when tn
doctor VAS riding in cold dark night
he felt pain about the almonds of th
ear, which occasioned partial deal
ness. Having .sopped his ear Wit
wool, he was surprised ono day i
March, 1917. by sudden pull or crac
in his earl when all that Gde Of b
cheek hung loose a. if it had bee
psralytic. and . hard knot was fe
under the ear. Various tumors mo-
n sppeared about the throat, and i
