John Bapteste Hartiz is his name,
and he still lives in St. Louis, being
man who saw the first steamboat ar
rive there, and who drove the first
hearse 10 that solemn town. He
lived with his wife fifty years, and
after the cholera season Of 1882 they
reared and provided for the education
Of nineteen bereavcd orphans. He is
now teaching dancing school, although
81 years OF age.
The difference between a mans be-
ing out Of temper and out of money is
that when he is out of money he shows
the least Of it, but when he is out of
temper he shows the most of it.
A popular clergyman says it is in
tercstlng to observe how many people
90 to the circus Just to please the
children, and very curious to notice
that sometimes it takes several able
bodied men and motherly women to
look after one little boy or girl on
such an occasion"
Now is the proper season of the
year to get up donations for your min
lister, and carry him few pounds Of
dried apples, bushcl of potatoes, and
three yards of cotton, and damage his
house to the extent of fifty dollars.
The London Times has lately been
paying considerable attention to Uni :
ted States politics and industries, and
of the latter has to say: The actual
industries of the States are only in
their infancy, for in the early history
Of the country everything was done
by this country to prevent their de-
yelopment. \ Under foster
ing economic principles the United
States iron trade has made gigantic
strides and has great future before
it. A very handsome confession
from the great free trade apostle; and
perhaps they would be glad to have
US abolish those fostering economic
principles by which this gigantic
stride was achieved.
The Bloomington (Ill) Leader, re-
| 1erring to the recent school law decis-
ion in this State, says: This decis-
ion of a Democratic court shows how
! much protection the colored man
would get when left to the tender
mercies of Bourbon court This
court has furnished the best possible
reasonwhy the Civil Rights bill should
be speedily passed"
The White League authorities of
| the city of New Orleans are in default
in the payment Of $500, 900 interest on
their city debt, and it is announced
| that 500, 900 more, due on the 1st of
January, can not be met. The Repub-
lican authorities of the State, on the
contrary, have the interest on the
| State debt. including S150,000 LETT
them in arrears by the Warmoth gov
eminent. paid up to date, and are
! ready to meet all liabilities. This is
the difference in management. Judg-
ing from the course of the Democratic
city government, the bonds of the
State. in case Louisiana should fall
into the hands of the White League
would be worth just about the paper
they are printed upon; further illus
tration of the collapse In credit which
will ensue, as we showed a few days
ago. when the South shall pass over
| to the Democracy.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Methodist Adyo-
cate, in an editorial on the danger
ahead predicts that if the party
which triumphed in the late elections
como into power in the Senate and ex-
ecutive chairs, two things may be ex-
pected: The reputation. so far as
possible, of the national debt, and the
payment for liberated slaves. They
are pledged to these two acts by a
thousand promises. The rights of the
colored people would be curtailed to
mere nothing; and there would event
ually ensue war # races, to which
| the late war would be as the shaking
of the forest by the gale to the lorna
do that lays everything waste. With
this devastation would come again the
question OF secession and dismember
ment of the Union, not into two but
four or more divisions. Those having
the government in their hands would
constitute the loyal party. and (con-
Trajectory as it might see1) the I'm
ionists would be the opposing, and,
constructively, the rebellious element.
For this war the South is already
preparing.
