GOOSE AND PIETY.-I recently heard
this amusing story of a very "pious''
old colored woman, who was cook for
the gentleman to whom she formerly
belonged. During "big meetingn in
her church, Aunt Sally" quietly ap-
propriated one of her employers geese,
and had it nicely roasted for the
preacher and some fber invited guests.
The gentleman of the house discovered
the theft, but said nothing about it
until the next day, when he called NJ
"Aunt Sally" to give her a lecture,
about 1t. In the course of the CONVEX
sation lie said, II did not care about
the goose l would cheerfully have
given you that if you had asked me
for it; but I am mortified that you
should have stolen it, and that you
should have Toasted your preacher on
stolen meat, and have afterward gone
to church to shout as loud as eyer,n
The Old womanindignantly replied

year of his age, JOHN SCHWARTZ
zENBACH, a native of Germany, but
resident of Rapides since 1884.
Well and truly can we write that an
other good man and citizen of our Par
lsh has gone to his last home. That
he was such, in every sense Of the
word, all bear witness. Few of the old
land marks of the solid and true old
residents of our Parish remain-all are
nearly gone-and we only add another
good name to the departed list. He
leaves behind him an aged widow and
a large family of children, who have
cause to regret his loss to them.

Zen Hardin and S. S. Prentiss

we are indebted to Major Georg
"ork, distinguished and venerabl
} citizen of Mississippi, for the followin
narration:
AT the trial of Wilkinson, a Missis
sIpplan, for murder, at Harrodsburp
kentucky, S. S. Prentiss was engage,
lot the defence; Mr.. Hardin assiste,
the prosecution. Very harsh languag
was used by these gentleman in tn,
progress of the trial. Mr.. Hardin de
nounced the Mississippian in no meas
ured terms. Several years afterwarl
Mr. Hardin visited the capital of tina
State while the Legislature was in sea
sion. An lndiscreet admirer offered 3
resolution rendering him the freedom
OF the House of Representatives. This
was inappropriate, as Mr.. Hardin
having served in Congress, was BY
courtesy entitled to seat within it's
bar. The resolution was defeated nv
the active efforts of q friend of Mr.
Prentlss, who was moved to this course
by MIR. Prentiss, as it was thought. in
memory of the Harrodsburg affair
Before this. Mr.. Prentiss had gained in
the courts of Mississippi the great suit
involving the title to the levee of the
city of Vicksburg.
The opposing counsel had unani-
monsly concluded that an appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United States
could not be successfully prosecuted.
A copy of the record of the suit had
been thrown aside as worthless, and
had found its way to the house of le-
gal gentleman with whom Mr.. Hardin
was spending few days. Idle curios-
ity, or that intense love of mischief
which sometimes inspired Mr.. Hardin,
led him to examine the record. He
thought the case conld be reversed, Or
dsred an appeal and followed it to
Washington City. Mr.. PreDtiss did
not seem to fear the result, although
he had sold mary levee lots at fabu-
|"us prices with deeds ofgeneral war
ranty, did not go to Washington, but
asked Mr.. Crittenden to argue the ap-
peal. Mr.. Crittenden's legal ability

spicy gales of Araby the Blest," we're

lct, inexorable in logic, holding at
Command marvellous and manly elo-
lnence, which always arrested the at
entlon of venerable men. The case
vas reversed. Mr.. Prentiss was pau
'erized; Ben Hardin was revepged.

Advertising In Country Papers.

TIL following sensible remarks on
the advantages OF country papers as
advertising mediums for city mer-
chants and business men generally, are
from the Iberville South:
1t is an astonishing fact that very
few of the city merchants and business
men generally seem to appreciate the
Importance of advertising in country
papers, whilst they are so lavish in
their expenditures on the city dailies
for these purposes. These papers are
not read by one man in a hundred
from the country, and not subscribed
to by one in thousand. Country Wis.,
'tors to the city buy great many,
with which to while away the tedious
breakfast hour at hotels, see their own
names among the arrivals, and to post
themselves as to the amusements of the
coming evening. Otherwise not an
other line is read.
The visitor never waits to get to the
city to find out what he wants or where
to get it. His list is made ont and his
places OF dealing selected before he
leaves home.
Everybody 10 the country takes his
own Parish paper and is familiar with
every advertisement in it. And it ia a
natural consequence for one to patron.
lie the places he knows of best.
City advertisers will find it decided.
~ to their interest to patronize coun-
try papers.
