A PARsoN, who was not over

one Sabbath morning, met one
of the most wealthy of his
flock and asked the loan of a
sovereign. Certainly said the
man, at the same time hand

put it into his pocket; and
preached his preach in most
capital style, and on coming
down, handed the identical
sovereign to the man from
whom he borrowed 1t. why

One of Tom COrwIn's Jokes,
Oorwins humor and sarcasm
were OF too delicate and subtle
a nature to permit of their
transfer to paper with much
effect. His wit was spontane-
Gus and unprecedented, but
wonderfully telling. When the
abolition excitement was at IT'D
height, he was invited to ad.
dress a public meeting at Gov
lngton, opposite Cincinnati. IL
was apprehended that the ultra
slavery men might interrupt
him, SO he determined to propi.
tiate them by an anecdote..-.
"Fellow citizens" said he, sit

What Is q Gfanke?

The society known as
Oranges, or Patrons of Hus.
bandry, is strictly a farmers
society, composed mainly of
practical working farmers, their
wives and daughters. Recent
ly it has received the atten ton
and met the general approval
of the farmers in the West,
and Is now spreading like wild
fire throughout the length and
breadth OF the land.
Its meetings are held at
stated periods, for the purpose

properly come before it. This
of itself is enough to com.

mers. 1t seems to be a matter
of necessity that there should
be some understanding among
those engaged in agricultural
pursuits, as we'll as other
branches OF business, that re
quire the holding of conven-
tions to pass resolutions gov
erning their action. These
meetings give the farmers a
holiday, a relaxation from the
cares and labor of the farm,
which they so much need. In
fact the Oranges may be con-
sidered a school, where instruc.
tions are given and received of
practical benefit to all. 1t
teaches lessons OF thrift and
economy, as we'll as how to
make farm life pleasant and
profitable. Political questions

ton to launch out into discus
slons Of National questions is
one which many OF our Gov

BILE to resist, and the example
OF all such as have confined
Themselves to their own juris-
diciion is one to be highly
praised. Another feature wor-

Pro1ai Is, that Governor Moves,
with his accustomed straight
forward tranknesse has not
sought to throw the RESPONSE
bility upon the incoming Ad-
ministrauon, but has heartily
assumed the responsibility OF

money as have seemed to him
judicious and proper. The

ton of the Governor that the
mania for going in debt should
be restrained as lar as possible,

need be. The Levy, for State
purpos es is less than one-sixth

shows that it will not do to

THE RETURNING BOARD.

The Board is showing it's hand now
so plainly, that the weak vessels that
have until q o W expected fairness
from it begin to howl. DeSoto was
rejected-that is the latest news It
don't matter what was the reason as
signed. One is as good as another.
We have proclaimed to the public
from the beginning that Z Board in
which the leading spirits are Mat
Wells and Keno Anderson cannot do
right, and it is no use to expect or
look for it. Rapides knows both of
these worthless. Wells was born and
raised here and has been after some
villainy ever since he left his cradle.
Anderson lived here some time and
one night was caught-well ask him
how he got nicknamed Keno.
TO suppose that the people of Lou
isiana will submit to this jugglery is
to accuse them of the most arrant
cowardice. We know that the radi-
calls were beaten at the polls last
month, and the figures have been so
often published that the whole coun-
try knows it too, and all newspaper
dom north and south have been
watching the Returning Board, and
noting it's suspicious acts. That is
the difference between now and ~.
Then our countrymen were not con
vinced that we had carried the cleo
ton. Now they know it as we'll as we
do, and our determination not to be
cheated out Of our victory will be ap-
plauded by them.
For Rapides we can speak. The
Radical candidates here admit they
were fairly beaten, and disclaim any
purpose of filling OF attempting to
fill the offices. But if any one of
them shall change his mind and try
his hand on our people, his punish
ment will come so swift and sure
that a lightning flash won't be cir
cumstance to it. ,,,s, .E, =
We elected our men fairly, and no
foul play Of the Returning Board
shall reverse the peoples verdict. r.
