The Kellogg Legislature.

On Dryades street, in New Orleans
when the legislature is in session, you
may see the law-making body which is
upheld by the executive department of
the United States. Around the door
way of the Mechanics Institute one or
two negro policemen, armed with clubs
and revolvers, are standing; mounting a
staircase covered with old and tobacco
stained mating, you may enter long
hall carpeted with dirtier mating; and
there, at clumsy desks, sit the law
makers-a heterogeneous mass of ne
groes standing outside the railings, and
listening with open mouths to the elo-
quence of their fellows, who have been
dignifed with Office. Nearly all the
honorable representatives are black ;
and their opposition is instant and de-
termined to anything which is likely to
better the present horrible condition of
white society in Louisiana. In the
Senate-chamber the same scene is re-
peated if a colored man is in the chair,
he is constantly falling into the pro-
foundest errors with regard to his "rul-
ings" and "decisions,' and finds it ex-
tremely difficult to follow any bill the
moment it becomes the subject of dis
pute; and there is always the black
man who is perpetually hopping up to
say, "No, sir; no, sir; l object to that,
sir" and the lean white man, dressed
in the extraordinarily new clothes, and
with general mushroom aspect about
him, who smiles whitening smiles of
contempt on the striving negroes, as he
endeavors, from carpet-bag point of
view, to show them when they are in
error. The scene would be ludicrous
were it not so saddening; had it not
already been enacted for five weary
years, while the State has meantime
gone into the abyss of crushing taxation.
Even the Governor, who has to do with
this legislature, must now and then
wish that he had better material to
work with.--Scribner's Magazine.

A DEMONSTRATIONS seventeen years

ARoMANCE.-About seventeen years
ago an elderly couple, while on a visit
to friends in Fairfax, Conn, passed
through the poor-house at that place,
and among the inmates bright little
girl of seven summers attracted their
attention, and SO favorably were they
impressed that they determined to
adopt her, to which the authorities
readily assented. All that was known
of her history was the fact that she had
been left at the institution when a
mere infant by disreputable- looking
French Canadian couple, who immedi-
ately left the place, and nothing subse-
quent was known of them. The little
girl, apparently delighted with her
found friends, went with them to
their home in the northern part of the
State, where she became to them as
their own child and shared the love of
the old couple equally with their son,
who was some three years older than
herself. After lapse of about six
years, however, Misunderstanding
man appeared at the Fairfax almshouse
and demanded the maiden he left there
so many years before. representing that
he was her father. The adopted pa
rents were at once informed and deter
mined to retain their adopted child at
all hazards, the girl vehemently pro-
testing that the man was not her father,
although she could give no reason for
her belief One day, however, the
man, accompanied by three associates,
invaded the quiet homestead, and for
chilly carried her away. They were,
however, pursued by the old gentleman
and his son, who traced them to Bur-
lington, and through the valuable assis-
tance rendered by lady of that place
the abducted girl was restored to her
home and the abducters fed from the
place, narrowly escaping coat of tar
aud feathers at the hands of the exas-
perated citizens. For several years af-
ter this occurrence a vigilant watch
was kept over the young lady from fear
of another attempt at abduction, but
the parties never appeared again, and
only short time ago the heroine of
the incident was married to the son OF
her adopted parents, but the mystery
other birth and parentage has never
been unraveled, as e verything goes to
strengthen the belief that the ruffian
who claimed to be her father was of no
kin to her.

The Substitute.

The following question has been pro-
posed to US: 81 sent a substitute to
the war, and he was disabled by
wounds. As l paid him for his serv-
ices, am l not entitled to his pension
"P. r. L. JONES',
This person could not have sought
for information in better quarter. 1t
is perfectly clear that the substitute was
the agent of Mr.. Jones, and nothing is
better determined by law than that a
principal and his agent are one and the
same person to all intents and purposes.
Now if this is true, Jones himself was
really in the army, and was disabled by
wounds. In that case it is evident that
he is entitled to the full amount of the
pension. At the same time the actual
fact is, that the substitute was in the
army and received the wounds; so he
is entitled to the whole pension. But,
as the Government only had the serv-
ice of one man, it will, of course, pay
but one pension. Now, how Jones is
to receive the whole of this, and at the
same time his substitute is to obtain it
all. we don't pretend to understand,
any more than we do how each of Brig
ham Youngs thirty-seven widows is to
have third of his property when he
dies. We only know that the Govern
ment is obliged to attend to it, and we
have no doubt it can be fixed up some
how by algebra, Jones being represent
ed by and the substitute by y, and
the pension by the rest of the alphabet,
may be. But at the same time Jones
must not forget that his identity with
the substitute brings car and response
bility upon him. Ifthe substitute loses
his leg, for instance, Jones is bound
by law to wear a wooden leg, even if his
own limbs are all sound. 1.-THE substi-
tute proposes to dozen girls, and then
backs out, twelve actions for breach of
promise will lie very uncomfortable
against Jones. 1t will be exceedingly
warm for him if his substitute doesn't
behave. And if the substitute dies, it
seems to us that any undertaken in the
country would be warranted in seizing
Jones and placing him under the sod.
The subject opens up as we contem-
plate it. Suppose, now, that the sub
stitute had deserted to the confederates
during the war, and had been made
commander-in- chief of the army; and
suppose old Jones had been placed at
the head of the Federal army. We
should then have had Jones leading
both armies, and fighting against
himself In such an event, no matter
which side whipped, Jones would have
been both defeated and victorious !;
and, if either army retreated, Jones
would have engaged in the interesting
recreation of chasing himself around
over the country, and pouring hot shot
into his own troops. When we con-
template the frightful tangle in which
things would have gotten under such
circumstances, we cannot be sufficient
ly thankful that Jones had the courage
to remain out of the army; and we
suppose he is glad of it himself.-Mar
Adeter IN Sat. EUening Post.

TennysOn's Aversion to NOtOriety.

An infamous person finds it little
difficult to sympathize with Tennyson' s
overpowering horror of the troublesome
ly affectionate curiosity of which he is
the object. Even such extreme cases
of hero-worship as that of the American
who climbed the tree at Farringford to
survey its master at his leisure, and
that of the bevy of ladies at London
exhibition, who, occupying a lounge
before one of the special pictures of the
season, and beholding Tennyson ap-
proach for look, overwhelmed him with
discontinue by impressively ceding him
the entire sofa-even these, and others
of their kind, have a humorous side
that might serve to qualify their imper-
tinence and ill-breeding.
Neither Browning nor George Eliot
is unknown by sight to the reading
world of London: neither was Thack-
cry nor Dickens. Did either of these
ever make an outcry at the friendly if
vulgar glances: Yet it is true that no
one of them, save Dickens, has been so
widely read, and it is probable that
Browning, who looks like nothing so
much as a hale, hearty businessman,
oftenest escapes detection, while Tenny-
sons late photograph reproduces him
so faithfully that he declares he can 60
nowhere without being known. Of the
mischievous fidelity of the picture l am
myself witness, for having driven up
one day to the Victoria station of the
London, Brighton and South Coast
Railway, by which Tennyson's new
home is reached, and being busted with
extricating from my purse the cabman' S
fare, my companion suddenly caught my
arm, crying out, "Oh, s., there
Tennyson !" The purse dropped in
my lap: he was so near the cab | could
have touched him, and of course he had
heard the exclamation and knew why
two ladies had so utterly forgotten their
manners; but if he had also known
that one of us had certain shabby
through-use edition of all his earlier
poems, which during space of dozen
years had never been separated from
her, travelling in a crowded trunk fol
even the shortest absences from home
that for months of that time she had
been used to read therefrom to a precu-
cious child who came every night in
her nightgown to nestle in the reader
lap and listen to the music, without
which she declined to undertake the
business of sleep-I think the look
bestowed upon the absorbed twain
might well have been more amiable
than the one which really fell upon
them and blighted their innocent de-
light. 1t was all the photograph
fault, and, enthusiastic American sisters,
be content with beholding the repre-
sentation, for the original looks neither
more patient, more gracious, nor more
hopeful. So sensitive is he to looks
which have in them any recognition,
any stress, that a visitor at Farringford
relates that, wandergabout the cliffs
and shores with his host, the latter would
every now and then nervously cry out,
I" Come! let's walk on-I hear tour
lists !" and his companion, delaying a
little, would be able to answer reassur-
ingly, "Oh no: see! there's moth
ing in sight but flock of sheep"

Clara Miller was the maiden name
of the novelist who is better known by
her nom de plume of Louise Mulbach,
and whose recent death is announced.
She was born in 1914, and her first
novel published at the age of twenty
two. Her marriage to Theodore Mundt,
an author also, was happy one, and
she had two daughters, one of whom
has engaged in literary pursuits. Her
husband died insane, in 1861. Mrs.
Mundt was a true women in her own
home, though her literary activity con-
tinued through life.
