Our friend and co-laborer in Life
Insurance, Capt. W. L. SHAW, dropp-
ed among us last week, looking as
though he enjoyed life about as well
as any Grant Radical could, consider
ing the hard road they have to travel.
BY the way, we would like to see the
Captain Superintendentof ohr Schools
again. We don't know wheter he
would accept the position, but if he
would, it would be a good move to
secure his services. He was the most
popular one we ever had.

Local Pride.

If the citizens of a town desire to
have the community of which they
are representatives maintain an equal
ity with sister. communities, and wish
the town wherever they dwellto keep
pace with others in progress, it is
necessary to cultivate a true local
pride; we do not mean an inflated
idea of superiority of all that pertains
to their locality, or the extravagaut
*laudation of every enterprise or I'M
dertaking in their midst, but a dis
eliminating pride in all true advance
ment of the general welfare that shall
prompt a just defense of the merits of
the town where they have set the
temple of home, q fair commentator
of its artistic or natural Beauties, and
an encouragement to every individual
who puts his hand to the work of de-
veloping its resources, wealth and adj
vantages. A community where peo-
pie are indifferent to the improve.
ments that may be inaugurated within
their boundaries, will make slow pro-
gress. The men who express no sat
isfaction at seeing a dwelling of COM
fort and taste erected, who draw their
purse strings tight aud grumble at the
expense of an artistic public edifice,
shuddering at the increased taxation
to pay for some modern improvement,
which is to prove a blessing tc, a
coming generation, are enemies to
civilization, as were the Inhabitants
of China before its gates of supersti-
ton were opened and the genius of
progress babe to enter.
Every dwelling of taste that wealth
ereets in Eaton should be welcomed /;
every public ediice that is reared
should receive Bur approval; every
temple of education should be pointed
out with pride as an evidence that we
are preparing the generation to follow
us to fight that never ending combat
of spiritual over the animal, of mind
over matter. Every Church that lifts
its graceful spire heaxen-ward should
be hailed as planting an altar around
which will cluster the blessings of
education and refinement. We should
rejoice at the puff of the engine, the
'clank of the shaft, and the hum of the
machine, proclaiming hat industry
reigns within our borders, for every
additional stroke of labor fixes on a
surer foundation the future wealth of
our community, and is rearing on an
enduring basis the fabric of coming
prosperity. We should possess local
pride sufficient in the intellectual tastes
of u society to encourage lectures
of a high order or first class musical
entertainments, showing by a full at
tendance, that merit is appreciated
and that a desire exists of establishing
"a high standard of mental culture
among the people. It is a disgrace TO
those who are ever seeking to under
rate tho place of their birth and home /;
seeking nothing to commend in the
localities of which they are a repre-
sentative part, but hold it up to invid-
ious comparison with a neighboring
city or town. We honor a man who
has a true local pride in his Village or
the town where his own cherished
freside exists, and who is not asham-
ed to point with pride to the spot
where his daily lot is cast.

Joe Jefferson on his Louisiana Plan
% tRtf0m.


h tatfOm.
New Orleans Correspondence of Philadelphia
Press.
Speaking of the Teche, Joe Jefferson,
the actor, has plantation about four
teen miles from New Iberia, which he
uses as winter cunning and fishing
retreat. Joe owns a whole island, called
Orange Grove, but he plants only enough
to keep those in his employ. The waters
abound in fish and oysters, and wild
geese and ducks swarm the bayous.
Mr.. jefferson and his wife are now
sojourning at this retreat, and have for
their guests James B. Wallack and
Charles Pope, both actors. Edwin
Adams and wife stopped there two
weeks, but an engagement at Columbus
Ohio, compelled him to leave last week.
These actors, when they get together
ruralizing, have heap of fun among
themselves. About a week before Ned
Adams left the Teche Jefferson and he
made bullock out of canvas for the
purpose of stalking wild geese, which
are very shy of human beings. Semi
wild cattle roam over portion of these
Teche plantations, and those who go on
foot are obliged to be very careful to
keep from being gored. Men on. horse
back are never disturbed by the cattle.
The dummy bullock made by Jeffer-
son was arranged for two, and, after its
completion, Joe took the front half po,
sition and Ned Adams the rear, with
their guns in their hands, ready to shoot
geese as soon as they arrived in range.
The two actors took up the line of march
across the prairie, from the house, at
slow and numbering gate. toward the
water, where the wild geese were sport
ing and feeding The cattle they passed
through shifted something unusual and
began to act ugly, but the actors were
brave and did not mind the fat bull
locks. Presently an old bull-the pa
triarch of the herd and crusty old
bull at that, regular Arcadian-ob-
served the queer object drawing nigh,
with head lowered, as though for battle.
This was little too much for the cock
of.the-walk, who was monarch of all he
surveyed, and he shifted fight or dan
ger from the approaching gunners. The
bull began to paw the earth and then to
below and throw the dirt over his head
with his fore feet. Ned" said Joe,
what the matter with the bull2' Ned
said, "He-he-he is preparing for
charged" The bull began to advance at
rapid pace, and when within half
dozen rods, out jumped Joe and Ned
from the dummy, and like the wind they
seampered across the prairie into small
bayou. and out of it again, both covered
with black mud from head to foot. The
old bull stopped at the collapsed canvas,
and after tossing it in the air with bis
horns and smelling the shot-guns, he
again made for the fugitives, who just
escaped his horns by pitching through
the mud and water. The old bull roar
ed with anger and ran along the edge of
the bayou, hunting bridge to cross
over after the gents. As soon as Joe
and Ned we're sure of their escape, they
embraced the flask; but 1t didn't count,
as the play says.

Wendell Phillips says:


Recently, while on visit to the West,
in the vicinity of Grants former home,
| asked friend Of mine, at whose house
/ was stopping. what the people there
thought of the President, and he replied
that they had very poor opinion OF
him; they did not think he was an hon
est man. MY friend asked me to ride
around within the neighborhood and he
wonld show me at least Eve grog shops
where the now President Of the United
States has yet whisky bills standing
against him, the score not having been
wiped out.
When Mr.. Grant was charged with
being in debt to the United States Treas
ury on an old account dating from the
time of the Mexican war, the charge was
as fercely scounted as this statement Of
the great agitator's will no doubt be.
But the account was correct, and under
pressure Mr.. Grant liquidated it, the in
convenient clerk who hunted out the
item receiving his discharge. What is
to be done with the whisky bills remains
to be seen. Perhaps from their peculiar
nature it would be politically more pro
fitable to ignore than to pay

the boy in the meantime having taken
disposition in the brush to play the role
of pig, in which he succeeded to rerfec-
ton, for when the sire, after rafting
run, had reached the proper place, he
snorted like young grizzly, and tearing
out of the brush, caused the panic-struck
colt to pile his rider ingloriously in the
dust. Gathering himself up, he said
savagely: "What the - did you do
