D A meeting of the stockholders of
the Louisiana Central Railroad was
held in our Town on last Tuesday, and
brought several well-known and dis
tinguished gentlemen here. Among

meeting were Colonel F. w. Latham,
brother-in- law to Senator Sprague, of
Rhode Island, and in his interest !;
General Harry It. Hays, Colonel T. o.
Stark and Major w. Freret. From
what we could CLEAN much business of
importance and urgent interest was at
tended to, new Board of Directors
elected, and a change of domicile from
Alexandria to New Orleans Affected
The following gentlemen compose the
new Directory: F. w. Latham, w. S.
Pike, Emory Clapp, Harry T. Hays,
Edward Rigney, J. 0. Pickens, J. G.

D George W. billiard, veteran of
the Louisiana Press and so we'll known
as the founder and publisher of the
Shreveport South Western, one of the
very best conducted Journals in the
State, has moved to Jefferson, Texas,
and started new Daily and Weekly
Journal, under the name of the Jeffer-
son Tribune. We have received the
first issue of the Weekly and gladly
place the Tribune on our exchange list.
1t is the counterpart in size, appearance
and in mechanical execution of the old
South Western, and like it has the true
and genuine Democratic Conservative
ring. We welcome Colonel billiard
back to the old traces and wish him
success and prosperity i n his new
home.

1NGERsoLL's LIFE OF GREELEY.
We call attention to the advertisement
of the Life and times of Horace Gree
ley work of which L. D. Ingersoll is
anthor, and the Union Publishing Co.,
publishers. We Judge from the table
of contents, and advance sheets of this
book, issued May lst., that it will be,
THE Life of Horace Greeley which the
people will above all others want. It
is full, graphic, truthful, impartial "a
work of interest and value to men Of
all parties. Mechanically, it will be
the handsomest book for general cir
culation ever published in America:
magnifcently illustrated and beauti-
fully bound. We can safely say it will
be one Of the best and cheapest of all
American publications. Get ready to
buy copy.

e The river, since our last, has
only risen eight inches and has been on
a stand for the past five days, and with
continuation of the present fair
weather we may safely predict quick
decline. Rumors from above are thick
and SO contradictory that we can't
place the least reliance in any word we
hear, and as for Shreveport papers, we
have not seen one in a week. So we
must just be guided by the river here,
act accordingly, and let foreign gossip
go to the dogs.

u We call special attention to the
law card of W. F. Blackman Esq, to be
found in our columns in this issue of
the Democrat. This gentleman is a
native of the State and has been we'll

since the commencement of the late
war; resident of the Parish of Clai-
borne which he ably represented in the
State Senate for four years, enjoying
large and lucrative practice in Wes-

held in high estimation, and now has
permanently located in our Parish.
We welcome him here and bespeak for
him the success his merits deserve.

Counting One Hundred.

| A Danbury man named Reubens "a.
Gently saw, statement that counting
one hundred when tempted to speaf
an angry word would save q man y
great deal of trouble. This statement
sounded little strange at first, but the
more he read it over the more fayora.
bly, he became impressed with it. and
finally concluded to adopt it. Next
door to Reubens lives a man who has
made five distinct attempts in the past
fortnight to secure dinner of green
peas, by the first of June, and every
time he has been retarded by Reuben's
hens. The next morning after Rem.
ben's made his resolution, this man
found his fifth attempt to have miscar-
ried. Then lie called on Reubens. Ia
said:
"What in thunder do you mean bv
letting your hens tear up my gardeni,
Reubens was tempted to call him a
mudsnoot, new name just coming in
to general use, but he remembered h;s
resolution, put down his rage, and
meekly observed:
"one, two, three, four, five, six, sew.
en-, eight"
Then the mad neighbor who had
been cycling this answer with great
deal Of suspicion, broke in again:
"Why don't you answer my ques-
ton, you rascal Z"
But still Reubens maintained his
equanimity, and went on with the test:
"Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen
The mad neighbor stared harder than
ever.
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen.
twenty, twenty-one-"
"You're mean scunk," said the
mad neighbor, backing toward tic
fence.
Reuben's face flushed at this charge
but only said:
"Twentv-two, twenty three, twenty
four, twenty-five, twenty six"
At this fgure the neighbor got upon
the fence in some haste, but suddenly
thinking of his peas, he opened bis
mouth:
"You mean, low lived rascal for two
cents l could knock your cracked head
over barn, and would"
"Twenty-seven, wenty-eight" inter
rupted Reubens, ''twenty- thirty,
thirty one, tbirty-two, thirty three
Here the neighbor broke for the
house, and entering it violently slam
med the door behind him; but Reubens
did not dare let up on the enumerations
and so he stood out there alone in his
own yard, and kept on counting, while
his burning cheeks and flashing eyes
eloquently affirmed his judgment.
When he got mp into the eighties his
wife came to the door in some alarm.
"Why, Reubens, man, what is the
matter with you7" said she. Do come
into the house."
But he didn't let up. She came out
to him, and chung trembling to him
but he only looked into her eyes, and
said: ...- .
"Ninety three, ninety-four, ninety
five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety.
eight, ninety -nine, one hundred-go
into the house old woman, or I'll bust
ye."
And she went.

p The New Orleans politicians are
at work again, in anticipation of new
election, and are resoluting and plat
forming for a new party and new is
sues. They have had meeting and
proclamated, and our cold intimate, !"
Tom Bynum, is out in an address to the
dear people, as Chairman of the Liber-
al Executive State Committee, which
is we'll written and talks ever so sweet
ly to everybody, regardless of race,
color or previous condition, and in
fact, has already blown his horn and
rubbed on his war paint! We have
read carefully all these things, and can
at present perceive nothing but "eat-
ing crow" and too much niger in the
whole affair to be urged by the gallant
Tom to plunge and pitch in in a biz
hurry. We are a distant relative of
the famed Lucy Long, and must be al
lowed to take our time in this new
matter. We can't be thus hurried into
such extremes, and must be permitted
to tarry in the cold little longer, and
when taken out we want more white
than black to stick to our political
garments.
