their limited space does not allow

an interest in the affair. Suffice to
say, they are known to the Sisters,
who feel more gratitied at the good

temporarily, all those who so kindly
interested themselves on this as we'll

BLACKW00

we nave just received from the
Leonard Scott Publishing Company
the May number of Blackwood' S
Magazine, which opens with the con-
tinuation of "Valentine and his
Brother" The interest of the story
increases, as the boys and their moth
er, who have been so strangely sepa-
rated, are drawing very near to each
other.
The article on Hercules was sug-
gested by a recent picture-the AL
cestis of Mr.. Leighton-which the
writer characterizes as one of the
most beautiful of modern pictures.
It is illustrated with copious transla-
tions from the Alcestis and Fretzied
Hercules of Euripides, and the Ira
chini@ of Sophocles, all Of which
tragedies were founded on the legend
of Hercules. The comparisons on
the treatment of the subject by the
two dramatists will be interesting to
classical readers.
"Conviyium Template" is a festive
scene, somewhat in the style of the
famous "Noctes Ambrosiane," and,
like them, requiring minute local
knowledge for full appreciation.
In "Alice Lorraine, Part Ill., we

most of us flag, and little else.
But it has other meanings, too; less
important and less self-evident, it is
true, but which well merit to be re-
membered. Images of animals, bad
ges, war-cries, cockades, liveries,
coats-of- arms, tokens, and tattooing,
have all been accepted symbols OF
distiction between races" A brief
description is given Of these various
symbols, followed by very enter

other flags.

THE BARBECUE AGAIN.
We are free to acknowledge to ou


friends of the Caucasian that we are
somewhat exercised about the pub
lie meeting to be held at or near
Paul's store on the 18th inst" and
have many grave reasons, matured
and not half-cocked, for noticing so
much this important start in the
coming canvass, and also too many
bitter pills still purging our body
polite to remain silent, and witness
another false start. More convinced
now than ever in the rectitude of our
intentions, and here reasserting all
we have written in behalf of the De-
mocracy in our last, it is clear that
no decent man, no white man in Lou
isiona can be anything else but a
Democrat. What else can they be-
come? Republicanism here is disre-
putable and odious to the last degree,
and the consequence is that every
Southern man of any standing is
forced to act with the Democrats.
Their party is the only party who
represents, even theoretically, justice
to the South, and here hinges in
true accord and perfect harmony our
position.
And yet with the light of the true
faith still burning bright, and little
more dazzling by the recent election
flashes of Democratic lightning from
Oregon, we are still accommodating
and still willing to trust in the will
of the people and abide by their de-
cision. Hence, shaking hands with
the Caucasian, we must agree with
them that there is no more appro-
pirate place than at or near Paul.
store to assemble to make a start.
We are forcibly impressed with this
conviction when we call to mind the
memorable and crushing Democratic
victories of the past, which have oc-
CURED and gone into history at glo-
rious old Hineston and memorable
Ten Mile, now merged into one pre-
cinct, and designated as Paul's Store.
Here it is that the proposed begin
ming is to have it's start, and we can
permit it to be trusted to no safer
hands, no better and time honored
Democrats. Right willingly, there
fore, do we give in to such a plan
and to such time honored adherents
Of Democratic faith and principles,
and cheerfully hope that our conf
dence is not mistaken aud our views
will be indicated, and that the old
war-worn flag Of Democracy, which
has never trailed the dust of defeat
at or near Paul's Store, will once
more be held aloft and be our beacon
guide in the next campaign, and still
have emblazoned on it's folds: the
banner precinct Of Democracy.
