Secnnd Ward I.5hernis.

There was a large meeting of the Liberals
of the second ward last night at their wig
wan, corner of Delord and Carondelet
streets, for the purpose of nominating car
didates for delegates to the parochial con-
yention, to be voted for at the wigwam be-
tween the hours of A NJ. and P. M. Ac-
cordingly, number of gentlemen were
nominated, and the nominations were, on
motion of Mr.. Flood, closed.
A communication was received from the
Liberal Parish Committee, announcing that
the resignation of Mr.. D. NJ. Kelley, as a
member of the committee from the second
ward, had been accepted.
Thereupon Mr.. Manuel C. Reyes was
nominated, and unanimously elected to fill
the vacancy.
The following resolution, offered by Mr..
Sharhey,. was adopted:
Resol0ed, That no delegate elected from
this club to the Parish Convention shall be
eligible to nomination for any office in the
gilt OF the convention.

People w unted.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe, in a racy letter published
in that paper of Sunday last, makes some
excellent suggestions. We quote portion
Of his letter:
| ou capitalists of the North, some of YOU
| who think good deal about going West.
/ this Is the country for you. Come this way,
and spin out few more railroads as Won
come. This is the healthiest place in the
world whereat to live-~there has been no
| yellow fever here for years, there has been
! no sickness here this summer; this is the
most beautiful. place in the world for YOU
to spend the remainder of your DAYS in
Bring your families with you and fill up our
empty schooihouses, and build new ores
| Bring Iaborers and start into life our de-
serted factories, and build new ones. There
are great investments to be found. There
is richness III the soil, and there are quanti-
ties OF hard cash boarded away that nobody
dreams of.
New Orleans is very similar to Paris; she
IS the Paris OF America, and like the Paris
OF France she is rife with wonders Her
merits are greater than her evils, and under
lie them she knows not how to parade her
merits, and so you learn Of her evils first.
Our people are tossilized; their money lies
beneath them; stir them up and untold
wealth will beeFolved. Impress upon them
the Importance of a financial obligation,
and they will meet it with the astounding
ease which characterized the recent settle
ment in France.
1t is objectionable superfciality to say
the South is 'demoralized" or ''impoyeT-
Ished." We have better morals than are
accredited to us, and we have more money
than we know what to do with. We can't
buy your thousands of able-bOdied men.
and We don't understand how to persuade

The inventor of "spoon" fishing is said to
be an old man named De Castle, who for
twenty-five years has been lock master on
the St. Lawrence river. He had been fish
ing off one of the islands below the town
with little success, and, looking down from
his boat into the clear, green water, could
see the fish moving lazily about. In taking
pinch of snuff from his vest pocket he
pulled out a silver sixpence, which, falling
into the river went wavering down through
the water. The glitter attracted a large
pickerel, which dashed for the slxpence and
swallowed it. The sportsman pondered
over the matter, and on his return home
confscated his wife's brass kettle, and cut
ting a piece out of it, s6ldered it to hook,
and set out with this new bait. He had
not been long on the water before he had
very fierce strike. After struggle of an
hour he succeeded in landing the largest
fish he had ever caught, InuscaIonge,
weighing fortyeight pounds.

This wonderful vegetable re-
storative is the sheet anchor of
the feeble and debilitated. AS a
tonic and cordial for the aged and
languid it has no equal among
stomachics. AS remedy for the
nervous weakness to which wo-
men are especially subject, it is
superseding every othet stimu-
liant In all climates, tropical,
temperate or frigid, it acts as a
specific in every species of disor-

PARADISE OF FLowERs.-Who knows
the value of garden of flowers! Like
music, they posses magic power. The one
adds to our happiness by beauty and fra
grancc; the other by melody aud harmony,
BY which the sentiments are rehned, anu
the virtues of the heart stimulated aud
strengthened. All surrounding objects
exert an influence upon the mind, and
correspondence always exists between out
ward objects and the inner feelings OF the
heart. Where flowers arc cultivated, the
dispositions become sweet and the affections
purified. Homes are constituted parldlses
when made so attractive that beth parents
ani children find them the centres OF
earthly bliss.
The cost of making homes beautiful is
so very smaIl, wheD compared with Its
advantages, that it is really strange that so
little attention is given to this matter. Did
the husband consider that his own happi.
ness, and that also of bis family, depended
SO much upon small outlay in making his
yards beautiful, he would not grudge the
expense; and did the wife realize how
mu:h she can do to constitute vlrtuous
household, by making things around her
attractive, she would not be wanting IN this
matter.
Home is sweet word. But to make a
to it both an extent and internal beauty.

Potato SALAD.-Any one who has eat
en- potato salad at Partisan hotel will be
glad to try it after he gets home. The fol

and delicious preparation : Cut ten or

to half an inch thick put into salad bowl
with four tablespoonfuls of tarragon cr plain
vinegar, six tablespoonfuls of best salad oil,
one teaspoonful of minced parsely, and pep
per and salt to taste; stir well, that all be
thoroughly mixed. 1t should be made two
or three hours before needed on the table
Anchovies, olives, or few pickles may be
added to the salad, and also bits of cold
beef, chicken or turkey, if desired; but it
is excellent without these.

SHASTA COURIER.
A SPECIAL CALL TO PREACH.

The Elder John Smith, of Kentucky,
who died recently at an advanced age, was
one of the most eccentric wits south of the
Ohio river, and true gentleman. He was
quite Familiarity known throughout Ken
tucky and tie West as "Racoon Smith. ;"
While still in the Baptist ministry, and
attending one of the annual meetings Of
the body, a tall, green specluen of
humanity presented himself before the
association as candidate for the ministry.
He was not regarded as being of entirely
sound mind and labored under the halluci
nation that he was especially "called to
preach" aud kept continually importuning
the association to grant him the necessary
license. Ia addition to his partially un
balanced mind young Weeks was the pos
SCISSOR of as huge and ungainly pair of
feet as ever trod shoe leather. Tired of
his opportunities, and not being disposed
to grant the license, the association hand
ed him over to Smith with instructions to
make an end of the case, and between
them took place the following conversation
Smith-"So, Brother Weeks, you think
you have special call to preach p
Weeks-"Yes, the Lord has called me
to the work, but the association refuses the
license"
smith-"How do you know that you
are called ?"
Woeks-"Know it? l feel it in my
heart of hearts | want the license"
Smith-"Do you believe in the Bible,
brother Weeks? :"
Weeks-"Certainly, I do-every word
of it."
Smith-"Well if l can prove by the
Bible that you are not called to pi each will
you be satisfied to drop the matter and nc
further importune the association tor a
license 2"
Brother Weeks asseuted to this, and
"Racoon Smith deliberately opened the
New Testiment at Romans x. Is, and in a
gave tone read:
"How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel OF peace" ETC.; then,
glancing at Weeks large feet, remarked
"You see Brother Weeks, that the feet
of the preacher are beautiful; you, sir
have the most monstrous looking feet Of any
man in the State of Kentucky; therefore by
this Bible it is clear that you have not been
especially called"
As Smith finished, the entire association
went off into paroxysm of laughi er, and
Weeks really concluding that he had not
been ecalled' boltcd from the meeting
house, and never after bothered the associ-
alton fer license.
