The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-11-23

Of opinion upon the leading topics of
the day-if it wages a steady warfare
against vice and ill doing in every
shape and form, aud if it strives to
elevate the moral and intellectual
tone Of the community:to which it be-
longs, the highest mission of news
paper is fulfilled. Such q paper
might not be chosen as the organ for
q political campaign, but it would 60
very far to rob the periodical frenzies
Of elections of many Of their worst
features.
A newspaper should be the inter
prefer of the needs of the community
which supports it, and not it's petty
prejudices and factions. If these 10
cal Ulcers do exist, it is not necessary
to give them publicity which deepens
and perpetuates them. Of course
the ideal newspaper will only come
with the coming race" but even
country editors can make their sheets
more palatable to the general reader,
by the fitness of the matter which
fills their columns. Individual parti-
zanship soon dies out, but there are
matters Of general interest in this
century which should be
made familiar to every reader in the
corner Of the world.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-11-23

Horace Greeley contends that this
world is full Of misshapen educa-
ton, which is disastrous in its consc-
luenccs, beyond all adequate concep-
ton. Going into details, he shows
that many men are educated for pro-
fessions who can not possibly attain
eminence, or even earn fair liveli-
hood. They prove failures; but had
their training been more diversified,
they might have been more successful
farmers, carpenters or engineers. He
thinks that the industrial capacity Of
our people should be diffused and in
creased, and that, at the same time,
the professions should be relieved of
the dead weight of inefRciency and
failure which now clings to them !;
that, in other words, all men should
he SO instructed as, in case of failure
in one line of effort, they would have
something to fall back upon so as to
secure their personal independence
\. o. Times.

4ea.. DONAI.DsONvIIIE SATURDAY,

Mr.. Cole threw himself into a
thoughtful attitude, but said nothing.
"What do you think, sir -" the
venerable man went on, " l was mar
ried last Tuesday," m
$50 was II" exclaimed Mr.. Cole,
enthusiastically.
The venerable gentleman seized Mr..
Coles hand, and shook it like a
small earthquake. How remark
able!r he went on: "only to think
both married on last Tuesday," And
he kept On squeezing Mr.. Coles hand
and sinking it with the energy of an
early friend. Then they went up to
the bar and the old gentleman stood
champagne. The old gentleman in
vited me as stranger to aid them,
ard after some hesitation l did 90, es-
pecially a. the old gentleman said,
eyeing me intently, Why, I've met
you in Philadelphia at the Continen-
tai" He brought out Of his inside
pocket the portrait Of his wife and
showed it to us. We said it was
lovely. He stood more champagne.
We talked variously. The old gen
tleman explained to me the bond that
united Mr.. Cole to himself. "HOw
singular" he said, "both married
last Tuesday"
He stood champagne for the third
time. He wanted Mr.. Cole to stay
all night and talk on matrimony and
such like. Mr.. Cole tried to excuse
himself, but the old gentleman called
for more champagne saying, "By
Jove, it wasn't every day You met
with such remarkable coincidence"
Nr. Cole held up his glass of cham
pagne, and looking at it with appro-
baton, said, j" No, it was not"
After while Mr.. Cole said he must
go, rs his wife had been up all the
last night with the baby
"1'he baby!" exclaimed the ven-
cradle gentleman, replacing the half
raised glass Of champagne on the
counter with such force as to break
the stem and almost choking with sur
prise; "thc baby! Why you told
me you were married last Tuesday !! T"
$50 I was," said Mr.. Cole, "and
have been for the last fifteen years."
The old gentleman gave u gasp,
hauled out his purse and paid the
bill. Then he went through the door
like telegraph post playing locomo-
tive.

The Chinese have most ingenious
method of reckoning by the aid of the
fingers, performing all the operations
of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division, with numbers from one
up to one thousand. Every finger Of
the left hand represents nine figures,
as follows: The little finger represents
units, the ring finger tens, the middle
finger hundreds, the forefinger thou
sands, and the thumb tens Of thousands.
When the three joints of each finger
are touched from the palm toward the
tip they count one, two and three Of
each of the denominations as above
named. Four, five and six are counted
on the back of the finger joints in the
same way; seven, eight and nine are
counted on the right side of the joints
from the palm to tie tip. The fore
finger Of the right hand is used as a
pointer. Thus, one, two, three, four,
would he indicated by first touching
the joint of the forefnger; next, the
middle joint of the middle finger on
the inside; next the end joint of the
ring finger on the inside; and finally,
the joint of the little finger next the
hand on the outside. The reader will
be able to make further examples for
himself.

The question whether an Englisl,
author forfeits his copyright in Eng
land by first publishing in America
will soon come before the courts. The
case arises on a volume of stories by
the noted author "Ouida," !" which were
first published BY Lippincott, and re-
printed by Asher Of Berlin without
her leave. Meanwhile, she sells the
copyright to the publisher of the
Tauchnitz Classics" )" and is about to
bring it out also in London. The suit
is brought in German court, to pro-
tect the Tauchnitz authorized edition
against Asher's alleged piracy.

A correct appreciation Of the lntrin-
sic value Of the notes Of the Spanish
Bank of Havana is being arrived at
very fast in several interior towns
and outports Of the island. In Ha-
vana paper of the 2nd inst. We read
that in the town Of Sagua Ia Grande
the market people refuse to accept
these worthless bills at any price, aud
that those who can not afford gold or
silver in payment Of their marketing
must 20 without it.

Correspondence New York SUM-

CORNIN0, N. L., Nov. 4.
l arrived here recently, and took up
my quarters at tile Dickinson House.
After l had removed the marks Of
travel went down stairs and strolled
about the hotel with my cigar. Soon
observed venerable gentleman,
carefully dressed, walking up and
down, smoking a cigar and swinging
gold headed cane. Leaning against
the clerks counter was II tall, thin,
sallow faced man, with blonde hair
and moustache, and also smoking a
cigar. This gentleman had already
been pointed out to me as Mr.. Cole, a
leading politician of the country.
By and by observed the old gen.
tieman pause and look at Mr.. Cole
very closely. Mr.. Cole raised his
mild blue eye, and gazed dreamily at
the old gentleman. Presently the lat
ter stepped toward Mr.. Cole, and
said i'll very courteous manner.
Excuse me, sir, but l think I've seen
you before"
every likely" Mr.. Cole replied,
"Pve been there frequently"
"Ha, ha, hal" laughed the old
gentleman. "Thats's very good. But

Coles reply. "At all events" he con-

eyes, there's no reason why we
shouldn't know each other now"
"That's so," said the old gentle
man, "here's my hand"
Mr.. Cole took the hand very care

once or twice, and then restored it to
the old gentleman. This seemed to

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-11-23

One Of our young men has recently
ceased to make calls at certain house.
1t appears he went the other night
from an oyster supper, and on her
father appearing at the door, he OBJ
served, "Hello! old tadpole, where ia
the floating gazcllei where is my love
now dreamingi" This seemed to in
dictate to the old gentleman that some
thing was wanted, SO he placed his
hand sadly on the young mans shoul-
der, and turning him partly around,
slowed away a large amount of leather
under his coat tail, and then retired in
the house. The young man doesn't go
there any more. He says the small
pox is hereditary in the family.
