~Pnvate DALzELL beat the editors
Of the Cincinnati Commercial and Co.
iumbus Journal at last. We have been
led to infer that during the past year he
has contributed to each Of these papers
about peck of manuscript per day, all
of which they contributed unread to the
waste basket. He persevered under
series Of disappointments that would
hare driven an ordinary man to suicide
A. last his indomitable energy was re-
ssrded. He incorporated in letter Ger
tain correspondence bctwsen DIo LEWIS
and Col BARNES, Of N N,hle County, in
which the Doctor wanted the Colonel to
secure to him fifty dollars for lecture,
and the Colonel replied that there was
not dram.shop in Noble County.
This both papers published.
Right here is where the joke comes
in. BARNES writes that there are two
trining inaccuracies in the Private's COM
municatiou: First, that he, BARNES, never
wrote to LEWIS on any subject whatever.
and secondly, that LEWIS never wrote to
BARsrs on any subject whatever.
We have heard of DALzELL's doings
a thousand times, but this is the first
smart thing on the list. Score one for
DALzRLL.

These contractionists won't admit that

conceded that thousand is too many,
therefore, financially speaking. Uncle

shirt.

As some Of our readers have curl

Of sstock gambling" as practiced in
Wall street, we will endeavor to explain
them as clearly as we can.
To he along of stock" is to have pur-
chased for rise. For instance, believ-

DAYS than it now is, A buys for delivery
nj that time. II the stocks have ad-

current rate and the agreed price If they
have declined A pays him..the difference
Those "long OF stock" are called
.bulls" and operate for rise
To be ..short of stock" is exactly the
reverse of the foregoing; those who sell
short operate for decline, and are called
"hears."
Another process is called "put. A
PAYS certain sum for the optloh oi oe
livering to B a specified number Of shares

A may deliver the stock on any of the
days covered, or he may not deliver 1t at

lose the premian paid for the privilege

Let me speak of Dr. O'Connor in one
more relation-as Christian. He was
an attentive and regular reader of the
Scriptures, rs his we'll worn Bible, his
constant companion. fully attested and,
moreover. he was firm believer in the
divine truths contained therein. He con-
nected himself with the Christian Chm ch,
under the teaching Of Rev. A G. Ewing,
son-in law of Bishop Campbell, and con-
tinued e consistent member Of that
Church until he died. He left wife and
four children, but they do not mourn as
those without hope.
This fragment of verse among his pa
pers was doubtless an index OF his feel
ings: -.
"Thus oft when fades hopes day-born dream;
And feeting joys decay,
Some welcome star will sweetly beam,
And DER the eye of sadness CLEAN,
With fond. inspiring ray"
Messrs. Wright, Hitchcock, Cook, Voris

AN INDIGNATION MEETING.

In view of the arrests that are being made
in the country parishes of innocent and I'm.
offending citizens, in violation Of every pledge
made by Kellogg. Packard, Beckwith and
other leaders of the usurpation, it would be
right and proper for the citizens of New Or
leans to assemble in mass meeting and to pro-
test against such hlgh-handed and illegal con-
duct.
Let our people pledge themselves to stand
by and sustain their fellow-citizens from the
parishes and let the usurper understand that
the people Of this city and State will not submit
one moment to his attempted oppression of
the white people. ...... ....
Let the ward clubs turn out and swell the
meeting, SO that the utterances of an out
ragged community will be SO loud and so sig
niticant, that Kellogg and his plundering
horde will feel that the people are in earnest
and resolved to free themselves from the
power Of usurpers and government of fraud
and corruption.
Let protest be made that will reach the
ears of the whole nation and let the wrongs
and outrages perpetrated upon Louisiana, once
more be brought to the attention of the world,
and let the people of the Union say how much
longer are we to submit to such oppression.
