Pomeroy's Democrat says that
Horace Greedy, the distinguished
farmist, proposes to plant early
this season gross of darning nee
dies with view to raising crow
bars. He thinks, by continued adj
plication of electricity to the eye
of the needles, and deep N ulching
with nitric acid-wash, that in nine
weeks he can force them to fine
size and profitable crop.

SUCCESS MAKES ENEMIEs.-They
who are eminently successful in
business, who achieve greatness,
notoriety in any pursuit, must ex
pect to make enemies. So prone to
petty jealousy and sordid envy is
poor human nature, that whoever
becomes distinguished is sure to
become a mark for the malicious
spite of those who, not deserving
success themselves, are envious
of the merited triumph of the
more worthy. Moreover, the op-
position which originates IN such
despicable motives is sure to be of
the most INSCRIPTIONS character;
hesitating at no iuiquity, descend,
ing to the shabbiest littleneSs
Opposition, if it be honest and
manly, is not in itself undesirable
The competitor in life's struggles
who is of true mettleS, deprecate
not opposition of an honorble char
acter, but rather rejoices in it. Il
is only injustice or meanness which
he deprecates; and it is this which
the successful must meet, proper
toned in bitterness, oftentimes, t
the measure of success which ex
cites it.

MAILED NEwsPAPERs.-By a

HAILED EWSPAPERS.-by
recent decision ofthe postofice De
partment the law regarding send
ing newspapers by mail has been
more clearly defined than it las
heretofore stood. No name or
memorandum can be made OH
newspaper inside OF the wrapper
unless it subjects the same to let
ter postage, and the violator of
the law to a fine. No printed
card, hand-bill or advertisement,
no written notice, letters or slip
of any kind whatsoever must be
on which the address is written.
1t is barely permissible to mark an
article with pen or pencil. More
than this subjects the paper to let
ter postage. To do any of
these things is to violate the law.
Printed slips pasted on the out
side or folded in papers or peri.
ideals, soliciting notices, are also
violations of the law. Seuders OF
transient papers can send bundles
OF printed matter by weight, or
transient postal charges, but rnust
not send any written matter in
such bundles. Publishersespecially
will do well to observe carefully
these facts. 1t will save them
both trouble and expence in these
days of investigation and reform,

ADDRESS.
The present struggle of Lotus

They are crushed with the

1t is time, fellow-citizenS, to
assert your manhood and dignity
TO cleanse the Augean stableS-t0
re-establish the rule of law and
Justice, of economy and constitu-
tional liberty. 1t is time to put the
brand of infamy upon the brows
OF those who have dishonored and
plundered Louisiana; to expeI
them from their high places and
make them give place to honest
and capable meu-the only fit
representatives of a free and truly
republican people.
Citizens of Louisiana! The De-
mocrsts of the State here assem-
