guished jnrist, George Ticknor Curtis,
bas written letter to the New York
Hcrdld, giving his opinion on the Lou
isiana troubles. After making Il state
ment OF the ease, Mr.. Curtis gives ,Le
following ms his conclusions:
First. that Judge Durcli's decree,
were OF no legal force, inasmuch as a
Federal Court cannot possibly have
jurisdiction to decide the political
question who is the lawfully elected
Governor or Legislature of u State;
second. that the President gave an
oric;. IL enforce iujunctions that were
palpably illegal OH their face; third.
thu, in giving this order the Presi.
dents recognition Of the "Lynch"
Board rs the lawful returning board
was not constitutional act performed
in the only mode and cn the only oc.
casion in and upon Which such a 0ues.
ton could come before him. l cunnot.
therefore. concur in the opinion that
the President had officially bound
himself to recognize the kellogg Go.
vernment at all future times, or TINT lie
was officially bound to renstate Kel.
logg in September, 1874, because he
hnd in 1928 assisted to put Kellogg
IN possession Of the office.

A veg walked into q saloon the other
day, where three men were sitting
around the ireless stove. As he en-.
tered, all eyes we're turned towards
him. Apparently taking a mental in
ventory of the number Of people in the
room, the new comer stepped up to the
bar and blandly ordered four glasses
OF beer. The boots that had adorned
the top of the stove now sought the
floor, three men cleared their mouths
of tobacco, and all looked ct the bar
tender US he filed the glasses and
placed them in row on the bar
When everything was ready. the three
!oungers rose. and tue stranger paid
for the beer. Then. starting with the
glasses furthess from the door, he
emptied all that the bartender had
filled. and quickly left the saloon. The
three chairs were resumed.

collections OF the late hot spell as
1T was SO dry We oouldn't spare
water to put in our whiskey. TThs
grass was so dry that every time the
wind blew it few around like 80 much
ashes. There. wasn't a tear shed. at D
funeral for month. The sun dried
up oil the cattle. and burnt off the
hair till they looked like Mexican
dogs. and the sheep all like poodle
puppies; they shrank up so. We had
to soak all our hogs to make 'em hold
swiii. and if any cattle were killed in
the morning, they'd be dried beef at
dark. The woods dried up so that the
farmers chopped seasoned timber all
through August, aud there ain't u
match through all the country-in fact,
no wedding since the widow Glenn
married old Baker three months ago.
What few grasshoppers are left are all
skin and legs. aud didn't hear tea.
kettle sing for six weeks. We ate our
potatoes baked. they being all ready,
and We couldn't spare water to boil
'em. All the red headed girls wero
afraid to stir out of the housee in day-
light, and 1 tell yon I was afraid the
devil had moved out of his old home
and settled down with us for life.
Why, We had to haul water all SUM-
mer to keep the ferry running and
say. it's gettin' dry; le;'s take su,hiu."

Naturalization is allowing "Honest

having DO better foundation than an
imaginary newspaper article, a oom-

Hamburg. No sane man, white or
colored. In that town believes for an

election In South Carolina next month.
The troops have been demanded and

Here is an Irish gentleman's letter
to his son in college: "AIy dear son
write to send you two pair OF my old
breeches. that you may have a new
coat made out of them; also, some
new socks. which your mother has just
knit by cutting down some of mine.
Your mother sends you two pouads,
without my knowledge, and for fear
you may not use it wisely. have kept
back half. aud only send you one.
Your mother and / are well, except
that yonr sister has got the naeas!es,
which, We think, would have spread
among the other girls, if Tom had not
had 1t before, and he is the only one
left. l hope you will do honor to my
teachings; If not, you are an ass, and
your mother and myself your affection
ate parents"
