The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1873-08-30

A YOUNG lady in a neighboring town
was dressing for party the other even.
ing. Her little niece was chewing gum
and watching her. The little one asked
the young lady if a certain other young
lady, who was going, had a beau. She
was answered in the affirmative. She
then asked the question with reference to
second lady, receiving similar answer.
Miss Curiosity then asked her aunt if she
had man. The latter replied in the ne
gative, to see what the little one would
say. The child stopped chewing the
gum, removed it from her mouth, and. af-
ter gazing at it wistfully for moment,
held it out with sudden generous i'm
pulse, saying, 'sWell, I guess YOU had
better take this gum along then.'' Young
ladies, if your regular escorts fail to APP
pear when you need their services do not
despair, but, following the quaint wis.
dom of the child, take some gum along.
and you will be happy.-Utica IN. ~

AT Gadsden, Ala, during the recent
session of the Chancery Court, Miss N. C.
Stewart applied for a license to practice
law. She was examined as to her uuali-
tications and reported incompetent.
Then came the tug of war. She got
wrathy, and said that it was nothing more
than she expected ; accused the Court and
the bar of robbing her, and called them
band of robbers. The Chancellor ordered
the Sheriff to put her out of the court
room, for contempt of court, and she re-
piled that she Lad the right to speak. The
Sheriff started to take her out, but she de-
clined to be escorted. The Chancellor
then allowed her to remain, if she would
keep quiet; otherwise, he would have her
put in Jail. She subsidized,

ARTIEICIAL ELASTICITY.

We are the trustees of the future ma
tion.-LOndOla Economist.
The most notable measure that has
vet been brought before Congress is
that by Senator Morrill, instructing the
Committee on Finance to consider the
expediency of reporting a bill to pro-
vide for the resumption of specie pay
ments Jan. l, 1874. 1t has not yet
taken the shape Of bill, and of course
we have no indications as to what final
disposition Congress Will make Of it.
There are general reasons to hope, how
ever. that Congress will cause the work
of resumption to begin at no distant
day, and thus carry out its oft-repeated
pledge. But as all human affairs are
uncertain, so is the action of Congress
in this matter uncertain. While we
hope that wisdom and dear-bought ex-
perienee will prevail, yet, knowing the
character of that body, knowing its
uppermost traits at present to be tim
idity, keen sensitiveness to popular
caprices, and general weakness IN
emergencies which require superior
craftsmanship, we cannot but fear that
the members of Congress Will not
proye themselves the faithful law ivers
who would act in the spirit of the mot
to which we have placed above these re-
marks. We fear their timidity
will resolve them to steer
in what! may Seem to
some a middle course, viz: the SIM
pie investment of our present currency
with the property of elasticity. Some
influential men, of more cunning than
wisdom. have committed the folly of
urging that the securing of this boast
ed virtue would absolutely perfect our
present medium and render it superior
to every other known instrument Of ex-
change Elasticity is an invaluable
virtue to nations currency. Specie
naturally possesses it, and no artif-
cial elasticity could ever equal that Of
specie. If Congress does not perceive
the full force of the univer-
sal preference for resumption, it
clearly recognizes that the people viii
have it do something" No one can
mistake that there is clamor for
something to be done" Nor can any
one mistake that this something is
so far capable of definition as to mean
one of two things, resumption of specie
or the imparting of elasticity to
what we have. We are satisfied, from

DIR. R. H. HYsLoP, the well known Oculst,
leaves the city to-day. DR.. HyslOp has been very
successful in this city, especially in the treat
ment of Cholera and Diseases of the Eye, and
his many patients will regret to see him depart.
We hope to see him back in Chattanooga at some
Chattanooga Times.
DIR. r. H. HYsLOP leaves our city to-day for
Nashville, where he intends to locate for the
purpose of engaging in the practic of his pro-
fessiOn. We are glad to learn that he has bright
prospects before him at his new home, and very
sorry that he is going to leave Chattanooga. In
spite of many adverse circumstances he has es-
tablished a reputation here fOTskil in the treat
ment of diseases. He was especially successful
in the treatment of cholera here last summer
We hope his success in his new home may be
equal to his most sanguine expectations. K

order to induce white men,to settle IN

every white family coming into their
respective counties with forty acres OF

stead of renting, the purchase money
to be made payable in five annual in

POSTPONEMENT.
FOURTH GIFT CONCERT
OF
PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The Trustees of the Public Library of Ken
lucky, and the Managementof the Gift Concert,
announce the postponement Of the Fourth Gift
Concert until Tuesday, the 3lst of March next.
The public will readily understand the causes
which have made this pOstponement necessary.
The fiancial panic, which has for the last two
months paralyzed the business of every section
of this country and of Europe, has prevented
thousands from investing in tickets. The cpl
denies pervading almost the entire South have
cut off large and available market. And, too
the public judging from the effects of these
causes, have expected pOstpOnement and have
declined to invest without more positive as
surance of the drawing taking place on fixed
day.
All interested desire full drawing, but for
the reasons Just stated this could not be had on
the Sd of December, but the short postponement
now announced will secure it.
The management have met with unprecedent-
ed success. The sales of tickets, the proceeds Of
which have already been received amount to
OVER A MILLION DOLLARS, with number of
agencies in this country yet to hear from, and
all those in Europe.
Thus a drawing Scaling the gifts one-half)
could be had now, but the management deem it
best to have postponement and a full drdi0ing.
This postponement assures the sale Of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this de-
termination will meet the appreciation OF nearly
every one interested is made apparent by the
very numerous letters received from every sec
ton of this country and the Canadas, asking for
a postpOnement.
This action of the management will work no
detriment to any, but will be for the good Of all.
BY it the fortunate ticket-hOlders will receive
their gifts in full while it will not affect those
who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement, the manage
ment emphaticaIIy state that there tUiU be no fur
Their postponement, and to this end all agents will
be imperatively required to close up and trans
nit their accounts to this Office by the 21st of
March. THOS. +. BRAMLETTE,
