The Shreveport Southeastern says re-
proachfully:
We learn that on Wednesday night a
partv of midnight raiders, taking advantage
of the condition of our city IN having no
efficient police force pending the adjustment
of the municipal suit, were violent IN their
disturbances and did good deal OF promis-
cuous firing in different parts OF the town.
We have information that the perpetrators
are men who formerly served on the old
police force of the city, and who should
know how to respect municipal decorum:
They succeeded in alarming number OF
families during the night who were not
aware of the nature of the firing, and may
have been successful to some extent IN the
daring occupationof frightening women and
children.
We shonld be delighted to hear that these
fellows had met with proper castlgatlon.
If their object was to produce alarm among
our citizens in order to force return to the
rule of the old regime, as being better than
none at all, then should they meet with the
deserts of the common rutfian; or If they
were simply indulging in some playful an
tics because of the absence of a proper po-
lice force, then should they be held account
able by the head of every family for the
preservation of order Ii we hear of any
more of these exhibitions we shall not be
slow to recommend very efficient mode of
putting an end to them.

A patent perpetual tobacco pipe has been
made by a gentleman in Missouri, who
doubtless has been often troubled to light
his pipe in high wind. His invention con-
sists in making the bowl reversible, SO that
when charge OF tobacco is nearly smoked
out the bowl may be charged again and
tken reversed, so that the tire may ignite
the new charge.

The Three Jolly Husbands.

Thrse Jolly husbands, out in the country,
by the name Of Tim Watson, Joe Brown
and Bill Walker, sat late one evening drink
ing at the village tavern. until, being pref
ty we'll corned, they agreed that each one on
returning home should do the first thing his
wife told him, in default of which he should,
the next morning, pay the bill. They then
separated for the night, engaging to meet
the next morning and give an hone It &C.
count of their proceedings at home, SO far
as they related % the bill The next morn
ing, Walker and Brown were early at their
posts but it was some time before Watson
made his appearance. Walker began first :
"You soc when I entered my house the
candle was out, and the fire giving but a
glimmering Of light, Icsme near walking
accidently into pot Of batter that the pan
cakes were to be made of next morning Ny
wife, who was Dire adfully out of humor at
setting up SO late, said to me sarcastically (:
.Bill, do put your foot in the batter. -
"Just as you say. Maggy," said L, "and
without the least hesitation, put my foot
into the pot of batter, and went to bed. y
Next, Joe Brown told his story "My
wife had already retired in our usual sleep
ing room which adjoins the kitchen, and the
door of which was ajar; not being able to
navigate you know perfectly, | made a
dreadful gathering among the household
furniture and my wife, in no very pleas SAINT
tone, bawled out "De break the pcrridge
pot" No sooner said than done, seized
hold the tail of the pot and striking it against
the chimney jamb, broke il ina hundred
pieces After this exploit | retired to rest
and got curtain lecture all night for my
pains" It was now Tim Watson's turn to
give an account of himself, which he did
with a very long face as follows "My wife
gave me the most unlucky command in the
world, for 1 was Numbering up stairs in the
dark when she cried out; "Do break your
neck, do Tim" I'll be cussed if l do.
Kate, SAID 1, as I gathered myself up,
ssIll sooner pay the bill, and so landlord
here's the cash for you, and this is the last
time III ever risk five dollars on the COM
mand Of my wife.
