PUssYs CLASS.

" Now, CHILDREN" said Puss, as shc shook he
head,
. 1t is time your morning lesson was said
So her kittens drew near with footsteps slow,
And sat down before her, all in row.
:" Attention, class" said the cat-mamma,
:. And tell me quick where your noses are!'
At this, all the kittens shifted the air,
As though itwere filed with perfume rare.
!" Now, what do you say when you want a drink
The kittens waited a moment to think.
And then the answer came clear and loud
You ought to have heard how those kittens
meow'd!
' Very well. 'Tis the same, with sharper tone
When you want a fish or bit of a bone.
Now, what do you say when children goody'
And the kittens purred as soft as they could
.. Aud what do you do when children are badg
When they tease aud pulls" Each Kitty looked
sad.
:" Pooh!'' said their mother. "That isn't enough
You must use your claws when children are
rough.
Z. And where aro your clawef No, NO. my dear
CAS- she took up u pawl :. See they're hidden
here
Then all the kittens crowded about
To see their sharp littlcclaws brought out.
They felt quite sure they should never need
To use such weapons-oh, no, indeed!
But their wise mamma gave pussy's 'psha1e'
And boxed their ears with her softest paw.
- Now sptisss, ~ hard you can" she said;
But every kitten hung down its head.
!" Sptisss, l say cried the mother cat;
But they said, = o mammy, we can't do that"
- Then go and play" said the fond mamma;
+" What sweet little Idiots kittens are
All well. was once the same, suppose
And she looked very wise and rubbed her nose.

g~anisason should not be supported
merely because it wal the organization
of certain prominent mon. Individual
interests were not tosbe considered.
One who came on the. floor and: was
not willing *tosuhmit his ease to the
people did not represent them. He
hoped to see the next ticket in the field
ono that would call to its support all
people,. without reference to questions
Of race. It was the most important
question, and this convention was to
show whether. his race was qualified to
use the privilege that had been con-
on it. Candidates should not
only receive the votes Of the people,
but represent them when elected. It
Is better for the black race that it
lose this State in a struggle for
and right thanitshould suooeed
by putting in Office improper men.
The resolution of MI. Wilson met his
approval His plan would be.s tenn

The election was heh aecordin,
TO Law, at the recognized Contra
tclub Of which oota-n,evs WAS !.
member, and there. was On no neossait,
for the. purposes Of jus ice to him
or Of harmony in the party, that h.
and his friends should organize .
mass meeting at . different part 5,
the ward SO as to secure his election
and that Of his associates to THU
Convention. The Fourth Ward
Club was excluded from the Hall
in which they had met for two
years previous, and It il positively
asserted that said exclusion. was
made by order Of Col. Lewis, who
had leased the Hall.
Yet, in view Of all these facts,
after every effort Of the gentleman
and his friends, first to control and
then to embarrass the Central Club,
they called 4 mass meeting IN vio-
lation. OF the resolutions of the
State Committed, and proclaimed
themselves the duly elected dele
gates to the Parish Convention.
This claim upon its face is a fraud.
We do not admit that these
gentlemen have any claim; either in
law or equity,;a as delegates to seats
upon the floor of this Convention.
But because they are influential
Republicans and think they are
aggrieved by exclusion from the
Convention, and to secure unity in
the party, I will support the minor
ity report giving them an equal
vote with the parties I represent,
and upon the same grounds will
vote for the admission of both dele
from each ward in which
there is a contest.
Then, on motion, double. dele
were admitted from all the
where contests existed, ex-
cept in the First Ward. The con-
testing wards, were the First, Third,
Fourth, Tenth, Fourteenth, Fiji
and Sixteenth. The roll oil
as thus agreed upon, was
hen, on motion, approved and the
proceeded to a perma-
aent organization:
Nominations for President-Col-
mel Lewis and A. j. Dumont.
After the voting had commenced
