Resolution unanimously adopted by the CRES-
CENT CITY WHITE LEAGUE of New Orleans,
at a meeting held August IS, 1874:
Whereas we have understood that a move
under the usurpng Governor, and that overtures
have been made to citizens to enroll therein; and
whereas, the direct tendency of such movement,
if carried out with that good faith which should
preside over the engagements of honorable cit-
zens, would be the perpetuation of the wrongs
against which the white people of Louisiana have
been so long and so honestly struggling;
"Therefore be it resolved, That we protest
against the movement as hostile to the best in
terests Of the State.'

The AMERICAN RouGH.-NO other country ever
produced such article. He can be distin-
Snlshed anywhere by the qualities that are enam-
eled on his scoundrelly eountenance. He is SO
cowardIy, cruel, cunning and vicious that one
does great wrong to cali him beastly. He is a
bully, ever imposing upon and abusing the weak,
aud shrinking before the resolute and strong.
He begins life by robbing h's father, if he has
one to know. and beating his mother, and he
ends it as New York Alderman or Judge
There is no place where the rough is found in
such perfection, if may use such a word, as in
New York. He abounds everywhere in our land
of free institutions especially about our cities,
but nowhere such specimen in New York.
Some years since he was produced upon the stage
under the name of Nose the fireman. But Nose,
unfortunately for himself, volunteered in the be-
ginning OF the late war, and appeared at the first
Bull Run as zouave The pensive public was
disguised to learn that its favorite Nose ran
away. like poltroon, as he is, at the first fire,
and could not be rallied or stopped even. He dis
appeared from human view and human favor

THE RICE CROP Savannah (Ga. Id
ue,tiser of Saturday gives the following in ret
erence to the rice crop of 1873 4, which has
now nearly all reached market: s'The total
receipts OF rough upt date re 52l, 462 bush
els. Allowing twenty-fou, bushels to the cask
it will show total Of q, 727 casks as the crop
Of the 1873 4. We are not sure that twenty
four bushels are allowed to the cask, however
The total crop of the preceding year was 81
500 casks, showing falling off OF seventy three
casks for 1873 that is, if the above estimate
to the cask is correct The stock on hand is
represented to be quite light There has been
considerable activi y in the market for the past
week or two. and there is none Of the COM
moner qualities on hand. Advices from the
growing crop are encouraging, and but few
complaints are as vet heard from the planters,
but it is not entirely safe from disaster yet. 1t
is hoped, however, that the season may con
tinue favorable, and that the yield may be
larger than the last.

The Hon. Ephraim George Squier, one Of
the most talented American psychologists,
has been adjudged by a commission Of ply
sicians to be insane. While acting as United
States Minister in Nicaragua, he obtained ma
terials from which he wrote, in 1852, 'Nicar-
aqua: Its People, Scenery, Ancient Monu-
ments and Interoceanic Canal" In 1861 he
published Monographs of Authors who
have Written in the Aboriginal Languages of
Central America In addition to this he has
written several other works on American An
tiquities. The knowledge and erudition Of
Mr.. Squier on these subjects has rarely, if
ever, been surpassed. He was pecuniarily in

which was subsequently taken up by English
spectators. He has resided in New York

years, devoting his time to literary works, and

A TRAGEDY AT SEA.-An account has reached
the Journal Official of frighttul tragedy on
the high seas On the 8th OF June the Italian
vessel Napoleon Camarero sailed from Macao
with crew OF 40 men, 663 coolies for CALAIS,
and 5000 packets of fireworks. After lapse
of two days the interpreter discovered plot
among the emigrants to seize on the snip
The captain Immediately ordered one-haf of
them to be confined in the hold, but the next
day those who remained on deck armed
themselves with knives, Delaying pins, pieces
of wood. in short, anythin, they could lay
their hands on, and attacked the crew,
who defended themselves with muskets and
revolvers. The coolies then III used them
selves ON the forecastle and set fire to the
vessel, hoping that the crew would set to
work at the pumps to extinguish the flames.
During that time they had also freed their
comrades and murdered the few sailors they
could get hold Of The captain, seeing what
they were doing, ordered the boats to be low
cred, and LEFT the ship with the remainder OF
his men. Some sailors, who remained on
board with he doctor, the magazine man and
the interpreter, were unable 10 prevent the
flames from reaching the fireworks, and the
ship blew up, scattering the fragments OF the
mutineers in every direction under the very
eyes Of the escaped crew.

The Supreme Court of Minnesota has rem
dered u decision which, We fear, will make
dead heads" rather reckless of their safety
while travelling. 1t has decided, in effect, that
the conditions Of railroad pass, protesting
to exempt the carrier from all responsibility
for injury to the person or property Of the
person gatuitously carried, are Of no effect in
releasing the common carrier of its liability.
The very large class who now refuse to travel
on their free passes because of the exemption
Of the railroad from liability can hereafter
use their dead-head papers with looseness !.

A FAMILY ALBUM.-There is sort of
delirious joy in looking over family al
bum, especially if it is II very old album,
with a spraired back, which occasionally
ard Unexpectedly drops through your
fingers, leaving a couple Of cousins in one
hand and three aunts in the other, and
the balance Of the family under the chair.
The first picture is of an old gentleman,
with an expression of wary cautiousncss
in his face, as if he was engaged in dodg
ing a wild bull, and was somewhat doubt
ful of the result. Opposite him is the
grandmother, patent-loo>in lady in
a black dress, with book in one hand
and a pair of spectacles in the other.
There is a feeble but well meaning effort
to look safe in her face. On the next
leaf is middle-aged man, looking as if
he had been suddenly shot through the
roof OF a starch factory, and had landed
in the middle of a strange country. OPP
posite is the picture of his wife, who, hav-
ing heard the rumor of the catastrophe,
has made up her mind to be prepared for
the worst. Then follow the children
little girls looking so prim as to make
you squirm, and little boys with their
eyes turned on their noses, and with an
expression on their faces Of unearthly
solemnity. Then follow unclcs, taken in
their overcoats, with a spreading inclin-
alton in their clothes, hair, and face, rs
if they were bound to get their moneys
worth and aunts, with wart. on their
noses and varnish in their hair, and pre-
postcrous lace collars about their necks.
Then, there is the bashlul young man
penncd sopposite an aggressive young
lady, whom heaven and some married
women have designed for each other.
There are, also, the pictures Of Cousin
Aleck and his young wife, who stopped
here when on their tour, and no young
man looks at him without refining at
once and registering tcTbic VOW newer
to get married. Besides these, i- the pio-
turc of the man who lived next doo eight
years, at the end Of which time, his vie
died, and he moved to Illinois with his
children, and is now worth some $4,000.
He has been photographed in his hat,
which is one size too large for him, and
when gives him the appearance of hay
ing murdered his aunt and concealed
the body. Then there are two or three
fine looking corsars OF no particular
identity, and several broken-spiritcd wo-
men with babies in their arms-dircctly
or indirectly related to the owners Of the
album, and the exhibition closes. Doa-
bury NeOS.

WEAVERVHI.E. CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 7,
ENDURANCE.

How much the heart may bear, and yet not
break
How much the flesh may suffer and not die
question much if any pain or ache
OF soul or body, brings the end moro nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn,
All evils may be borne
We shrink and shuddor at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoilmg from the cruel steel,
Whose edge seems searching for the quiyering
life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pnngs reveal,
That though the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And strive to fly from the approaching i'll
We seek some small oseapo-wo weep and
pray
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still;
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But that it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life
We hold it closer, dearor than our own;
Anon it taints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving us stunned, and stricken, and alone.
But, ah we do not die with what we mourn
This also can be borne.
Behold ! we live through all things famine
thirst,
Bereavement, pain, all grief and misery,
All woe and sorrow. Life inlicts its worst
On soul and body, but we cannot die.
Though we be sick and tired and faint and
worn,
Lo all things may be borne.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS IN OLD BRITAIN.
When the Anglo-SaXons settled in Brit
ain the patriarchal system was in full
force. The father was absolute master
in his own family; he sold his daughter
In marriage, his son in slavery. When
st. Augustine landed on the island the
maiden was simple article Of property,
her price fixed at so many head of cattle.
The primitive mode of procuring wife
was this When youth had fixed his
choice upon a maiden, he went with "A
band of friends and carried her off, prob
ably with her own secret connlvauce.
The relations followed in hot pursuit. II
feud between the families cn,ued, and
was only appeascd by the lover agreeing
to pay the value fixed upon By the father,
retaining possession Of the maid, he Civ
ing wed " or security for his perform
ance Of the contract-honce the word
wedding. This custom Of stealing the
bride is as ancient as the Spartans, and
is still kept up in Brittany, where it
forms one of the ceremonies OF the mar
riage festivities. The bargain made, the
amount of the morning gift" settled
upon, the contracting parties took each
other by the hand and proclaimed them
selves man and wife; the ring was placed
on the first finger Of the left hand, and
the father, having received the purchase
money, delivered his daughter over to
her hus band. The transfer of authority
was made by symbolic gift. The father
delivered the brides shoe to the BRIDE
groom, and the latter touched her over
the head with it--a ceremony which took
its origin in the custom of placing the
foot on the neck of the slave, and was
typical of the wfe's subjection to her
husband-a ceremony still preserved in
the custom of throwing the shoe" The
day after the wedding the bridegroom
gave the morning gift "-supposed to
be voluntary, but according to the value
stipulated. 1t was generally among the
Teuton race, and often estates Of some
value were thus bestowed. When Ath-
elstan's sister, Eadgirth, married the
Emperor Otho, his morning gift was the
city of Madgeburg.

NoTIoNs ABOUT THE DEAD.-ln q
Russian tale grandmother says to hor
granddaughtc who is threatened by Il
liend. "Oh, dear me, my poor, unhappy
child Go quickly to the priest and ask
him this favor-that if you die, your
body shall not be taken out Of tho house
through the doorway, but that the
ground shall be dug away, from the
threshold, and that you shall be dragged
out through the opening"
This was originally a common mode OF
proceeding among various nations. They
thought the spirit could only return by
the same way it went out Of the house
and in order to prevent its return, they
took the dead through nm opening tina
could be afterwards stopped up.
Tho Tiski Of Alaska always carry
their dead out through hole in the bach
of the hut, and then close up tho hol,
with tho greatest care. Tho lIottontot,
break an opening through the side of :hC
| hiN W. lhu ooHlu pun lIpa'i "hN tilu i'l"Hi
ose, not content with this, having taler
tho dead body out, hurry Mt full spcec
round to the other side Of the house.
Another strange custom in Russia Is
this When person suffers very lin
gering death, in order. to render bis de-
parturc more easy, they let a black dog
by cord down through the roof over the
dying persons head. They regard n
black dog rs an omblcm of the human
spirit, and their action is intended tc
show the departing spirit which way tC
/ go.
The Chinese and the North American
/ Indians have also the idea that the spiri
leaves through the roof, supposing tina
the life must depart in the same way tha
itcamo from above.
In ancient Romo II person who had
been believed to be dead could only be
permitted to re enter his house through
the roof. In Germany the general beIiei
is that the soul departs through the win
dow. When person dies tho window
Of the room is Mt once thrown open, and
sometimes cup of water is placed on
the sin for the rcircshmcnt Of the spirit
as it enters on its long journey.

MEMORIES OF THE HEART.

We may shred tho moss-vau from the rose
Tho blossom from the spray;
The bloom that pearls the luoious grapes
A touch will brush away.
The vine may loosen from the treo
Which once it chung TO fast
But the heart will keep its memories
Till life itself be past
The gold must die from sunset skies,
Tho purple from far hills;
Tho foam flowers tado from opal waves
Drouth hush the babbling rillsI
The earth grow cold and passionless
Meath winters bittcr blast;
But tho heart will keep its memories
Till life itself be past
Tho flush will fade from check and brow ;
The sweet smile wane and dio;
The freshness leave tho coral lip;
Tears dim the brightest cyo.
Youth, beauty, hope and happiness,
And love may die at last;
But tho heart will keep its memories
Till life itself be past,

YESTERDAY n lady was walking along
the street, when she met Il little girl be-
tween two aud three years old, evidently
lost and crying bitterly. Taking her by
the hand, the lady asked her whore she
was going. / am going down town 10
find my papa" was the reply, between
sobs, Of the child. Z" w hat is your pa
pas name ?" asked the lady. " His
name is papa" replied the innocent little
thing. d" But what is his other name"
queried the lady. "what does your mann
ma call him ?" "She calls him papa"
persisted the baby. The lady then took
the little one by the hand and led her
along, saying: " You had better come
with me, guess you came this way
Yes, but / don't want to go back, |
want to find my papa" replied the little
girl, crying MS il her heart would break.
What do you want with your papa ?"
asked the lady. Il want to kiss him.
Just then a sister Of the child came along
looking for her and led her away. From
subsequent inquiries it appeared that the
little ones papa, whom she was so earn
estly in search Of, had recently died. In
her lonesomencss and love for him she
got tired of waiting for him to come
home, and had gone to find him and
greet him with the accustomed kiss
