4 conversed,' says a writer, with racist
to-day He told me how he won a race IN
New Haven. For four weeks he mixed soft
rubber with the horses oats, and every day
he hitched that horse to a post and opened
blue cotton umbrella in his face, making him
pull back, stretching his neck awtully. Then
he'd shut his umbrella, the horse would stop
pulling and his neck would resume It's orig
inal length. He got the horses neck very
elastic, and on the day of the race, as his
horse and the other horses were on the home
stretch side by side, just at the finish, the
driver struck this mans horse a blow behind
his ears, and the neck shot out almost rod,
winning the race by neck. 1t is SAID to be
the biggist home stretch on record

The Rev.JOsiah Slcarns of New Hampshire,
was distinguished for his regard for truth

by attempting concealment on one occa-
sion, when a fault had been committed, one
Of the small boys confessed when he was not
guilty The truth having come TO light, the
child, who probably thought to appear meri-
torious by con Ees<son, was enlightened by the
father as to the nature of his sin, and then
chastscd for st.ehool. Being exceedingly
annoyed that the garden gate was often left
open, and cattle coming in and dong mis-
chief, Mr. Stcarns said to his children and ser
wants: The very next person that leaves the
garden gate sFea must be whipped Not
many days after The unlucky gate appeared
in the prohibited condition Meeting the col

who has left open the gate now?' Peter hung

Kentucky, was never an orator, but his con-

are remarkable. His great fort lay in estab-
fishing a personal intimacy with every one he

in coming up the Ohio past that place, gen,

him. A citizen of Henderson coming on
board made inquiries about Powell.

wclldressed couple, in the prime OF life
stopped at hotel in a country town, and

that tunctionary that they wished to BE mar

their names
After being told, 1t struck him That he hau
performed the same service for the lady some
years before. Upon inquiring if such was
not the case, she said she had been married
previously.
Have you a bill from your former husband

Yes she replied, Il have bill
This being satisfactory, the ceremony was
performed and the couple declared man and

As they were about departing, the justice,
who had never seen "a bill of divorce and

to satisfy his curiosity, therefore said to the
lady:

oh, yes she replied.
Have you any objection to allowing Inc to

None whatever she replied.

One of onr North Louisiana ex-
changes wants Mr.. Pinchback to re-
sign his claims to seat in the Senate
and enter the House as Congressman
at large, in order that the vexed con-
test may be settled and some North
Louisiana Republican elected to the
Senate. Our contemporary displays
his utter ignorance of the extent of
Mr.. Pipchback's popularity by the
above suggestion. Should there be
another election for Senator by the
General Assembly, P. B. S. Pinehback
would be the successful candidate and
would receive an almost unanimous
vote. There is no Republican either
in Northern, Southern, Eastern or
Western louisiana who could success
fully compete with him.

A NEerIte.n Compliment.

|
In these days of rascality, corruption, and
greed of Office, no man ever knows when he
is getting an honest expression of sentiment
from an office-holder. From the simple con-
stable of parish ward to the Senator in the
United States Congress, officers and political
wire-workers are all ON the policy movement
They act, with very few exceptions, as though
they were afraid of their very lives, and We
wager new penny piece, if you were to go
to the officers of all the parishes in the State,
you would not find more than one in every
ten who would give you fair, open and
manly statement of their views on any sub
ject which pertained to a party movement.
If they loathe and detest political brother,
they object to saying SO, for fear he might
become the most popular man at some future
day, and use his influence against them. Ii
they approve OF an officers actions, in many
cases they have not the manhood to make it
known, for fear that his opponents might get
the upper-hand in somepoiitical contest, and
have them dropped from the roll.
Happily we have few officers in our par
ish who are not SO thoroughly debased in
their opinions as those we have alluded to,
and who are not afraid to act as become men
of honor and worth. Hon Geo. E. Bovee,
who represents this District i'll the Senate of
our State, should be classed at the head of
these. His actions speak palmer than words.
Being at the head of the administration of
the parish for the past year, he has accom-
plished with the assistance of few others,
what with most other men would have proved
an impossibility. Old parish debts have been
paid off by the thousands of dollars, taxes
have been lessened to greater extent than
in any other parish in the State, and the time
is not far distant when st. James will not
only be free from the heavy debt left as a le-
gacyby the Hunsaker tribe, but will have
considerable money in her treasury as well.
One year ago this gentleman stood before
the people of the parish as Republican, and
as Republican was we'll honored by his
friends. To the Democrats he was looked
upon as one whose special province was to
rob and plumber them, but to-day he is look
ed upon by the same men as green spot in
the oasis of political desert, aud few are
the men of any political creed who do not
now praise him for his manly efforts in be-
half of the common people.
A few more men of such character in orr
party, and we would not have cause to blush
at their actions.
