Every woman will tell you that man
can be led easier by putting an arm
around his neck than by pulling his hair,
but we never knew till recently that the
reason you can't lead a cow behind wag-
on is because she objects to having her
horns pulled. The other day red-shirt-
ed emigrant passed through here on his
way to Carroll County. His family and
household possessions were in covered
wagon, to the hind end of which was
fastened cow. Behind her with sharp
stick walked the emigrant, giving her
smart welt occasionally when she hung
back Every now and then she would
brace herself and stop the team, and then
in unclerical language he would beseech
her to go on, marking each forcible
period with prod of the sharp stick,
The poor cow rolled her eyes and rolled
her tongue. The poor emigrant, too, was
dusty and tired, but his voice ana stick
didn't fail him. She had suddenly halted
the procession in front of the post office,
and was shaking her head in reply to
his earnest entreaties, when man
called out to Red Shirt that he did not
understand cows worth cent"
"Well, what are you going to do about
it," asked Red Shirt.
"Why just take that rope off her horns.
and put it around her neck, and she'll
lead as quiet as lamb. If she don't I'll
follow her mile myself"
The rope was changed to her neck and
the team started. She gave a look of sur
prise and walked along. "Well that
beats ALL" said Red Shirt, and without a
word of thanks he mounted his wagon.
The procession moved slowly on toward
Carroll County, and the COW followed
with countenance as placid as il she were
walking home at milking time.-Ames

A Hundred Tons of Gold.

the Golden possibilities hidden in the
rocts and earth of the Pacific coast. Cap

little wooden mill on the American Fork

IMAGINATION, have had conception ofthe

the fertile slopes and valleys about him.
Little did he dream that his insignificant
mill-race led to wealth that would dwarf
that of even the tabled land of Ophir in
its influence on the world.
On Monday afternoon there arrived at
the Sub-Treasury in this city $2,OO0,00O in
cold coin. 1t was forwarded by the
ADAMS Express Company from the Sub
Treasury in San Francisco. The weight
of this coin was about four tons. 1t was
hacked in twelve strong iron chests, each
about two feet and a half in length by six
teen inches in breadth and depth.
The gold consisted entirely Of double
eagles, inclosed in one hundred stout can
vas bags, each containing 100000. Every
BAG bore the seal of the Assistant Treas

of Japan is disposed to accord increased
consideration to the sex. An order has
been issued that all women may stamp
important deeds and writings with their

Henry Rufus Swazeyo

On Sunday, at half;past three O'Clock,
quietly yielded up his siite of useful labor
the distinguished citizen whose name heads
this paragraph. For forty years be had
been a resident of this city, and has left
upon many of our institutions the impress
of his usefulness. Lie was an active and
| valued member of the Mechanics Society
and of many other bodies, but it was in The
Masonic fraternity that his sterling virtues
won for him his proudest prefe1ment lie
was an active working member, and had
| received the highest honors in every grade
OF Masonry. He was past master, and for a
| great many years treasurer Of George
! Washington Lodge No. 65, and in
| 1868 was elected grand master of the
Grand Lodge Of tie State. He had
been for several years grand treasurer
OF the Grand Lodge, which Office he held at
the time of bis death. He was rast high
priest and treasurer of Delta Royal Arch
Chapter No. 10, aud in 1862 was chosen
grand high priest of the Grand Chapter.
He was grand treasurer of the Grand Chap
ter for fourteen years. In 1869 he WAS most
pussant grand master of Royal and Select
Masters. He was past eminent commander
of Jacques de Molay Commandery of
Knights Templar, and in 1861 on the organ
ization of the Grand Commandery, he was
chosen its first right eminent grand com
Wander. He was also an earnest worker IN
the mysteries of the ancient and accepted
Scottish rite, and was an active member of
the Thirty third Degree of the Grand Con-
sistory.
He was buried yesterday from Masonic
Hall. His remains were deposited in the
tomb of George Washington Lodge in the
Masonic Cemetery, on Bienville street, at

pany with Hon. S. J. Ireland. is in the city.
We welcome such staunch champions OF
Republicanism as they have proven them
selves in the recent conflict in our sister
State, and are gratifed that their many
friends IN New Orleans are showing them
the attentions their high deserts merit.
Mrs. F. G. OByrne, the accomplished
elocutionist, and a writer OF considerable
talent, known by the nom de plume of
''Pips,' has arrived in this city, and it is
not improbable that she may Re induced to
give one or two OF her reading entertain

very successful, she is considered by many
to be the equal of Mrs. Scott Siddons in
this line of amusement.

Total.

Quite large crowd was assembled at
HaW kins's club room over his well known
salon. to bid in the pools, but the present
stringepcy of money and dearth of busi-
ness was plainly demonstrated in the rdi-
culOus smallness of the ventures. We don't
| reproach anybody because they don't bet
on our horse races. but the manner in
which this community is forced to play at
sporting on the turf is painfully ludicrous.
Enthusiasm is not wanting; there is here an
innate love of the turf; Southerners are
born riders, they are natural cavaliers, but
just now it would seem that first class
race meet is an impossibility in our midst.
Some OF the finest gentlemen in the land
are at the head of our turf organization,
bat somehow or other our masses lack the
pelt and power to make proper response
to their efforts. Our natural love of the
noblest animal given to mans service is in
no ways disproven by lack of attendance
on his triumphs On the field. When stern
necessity over-rides inclination, when the
Lares and Penates put to flight all thought
of Olympian games, we can not charge our
people with apathy, and can only hope for
better days when the race track will be
used less as gambling medium, and more
az a means Of developing the noble horse.
This morning sales of pools will be re-
suned by Mr.. Baker and Captain w. N.
Conner at Hawkins's club room at half
past nine O'Clock.

LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.
Fall Meeting.

To-day we must make good the laurels
we failed t. win last Saturday. The ele-
ments have smiled upon US, and the blue
empyrean, undilDmed save by the hazy
nightfall and morning dew, gives promise
of fine weather. Nothing has been neg
lected by the club to have everything in
order, and public enthusiasm has notably
enkindled.
There will be three races to-day, full par
ticulars of which are given elsewhere in our
advertising columns.
For the first race, two mile dash for all
twenty entries named. OF this number
probably not more than seven will start.
For this race at the pool sales last night
Western Star was by long odds the favorite,
the aggregate pools summing up as follows:
Western Star, $500; Ryan's entry, $500;
Edwin Adams, $3.50; Bonnabels entries,
sl75; Meta H., $40; Philo,nena, $40.
Pools for the second race disclosed Silent
Friend as the choice at say $3.50; Caring
ton coming next, $3.50; Nellie r., Sl2O; Port
Leonard, 800
Bidding for pools in the third race was
somewhat shifting. Wanderer, however,
had the call throughout, figuring at $50;
Cape Race, $l3O; Cottrill's entry. sllO; Fal-
mouth, sS5; the field at $40.
We produce three pools actually sold as
showing the relative status Of the flying
sreeds among those inclined to sport:

Hon. A. ii. Stephens and tho ''Salary
Grabbers.O

! EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
The PcayMnc, as usual, with it's head il
the clouds and heels in the DUST" delivers
a lecture to Mr.. Stephens on his recent
| speech in the House.
The Picayune demands infallibility in
| everything human, albeit it admits now
and then its own fallibility.
1t appears to scorn all means to accom-
plish an end, and expects our rulers to be
of that immaculate nature which is beyond
all gross, human, material aids to a cor
rect life. God bless US! Won't it be glorious
when that time comesl
The Pic tells US that ''the men who have
capacity for high duties of craftsmanship
have never depended on official salaries for
support" Hence wealth must qualify
'mental calibre, information, education
virtue, trustworthiness," which Mr.. Ste.
phens says should make up the statesman.
Then no one but the wealthy must run
for Office, and the selfmade men who have
sprung up from the ranks of the poor, and
know how to represent their kind, mus.
stand aside. Attachments and virtue are
nothing without full pockets.
Too many Of our best and noblest states
men in the past have been forced to the
humiliation of borrowing from their friends,
enough to take the spirit out OF any man,
when the government, by paying them lib
orally, would have saved them this humilia-
ton.
Who does not remember poor jefferson 4
embarrassments, when finally he was com
PEELED to sell his valuable library to relieve
himself from debts contracted in entertain
ing the guests of the nationl His friends
finally came to his assistance, finding that
he was in real trouble; but who does not
admire that proud independent spirit which
prompted Jefferson to extricate himself
without aid from others9
1t is because men do not wish to burden
their friends that Credit Mobiliers are made
possible. These take away the causes that
drive men to acts that seem to them less
humiliating than begging.
Are our rulers too extravagant? ? Doubt
less many are, but they are the reflex of
ourselves.
The Times puts it thus:
If he be a man of family, and wisdom
would suggest that heads Of households
make the truest rulers, it is essential that
his wife and daughters should appear upon
state occasions in toilettes at le asst present
able; and what man cOnversant with modern
fashions can properly estimate this expense!
Certainly the ladies will defend the in
crease of pay.

Teacher of 1890 years ago, who taught the
people then that temptations were not to
be despised COMMON SENSE.
