CNGRATEFUL.

The P.cSy,,ns is in trouble because the
people of New Orleans did no: turn out
very generally to celebrate the eighth of
January. !: :ntinates tina: a people who
have los: :hei. liberties axe no. likely 10
honor the victories OF their ancestors over
foreign foe. Neither Of the bases on
which this disioya! wal! is founded has
any foundation. IN the first place it is
not true tia; this generation has lost its
liberty. There il more freedom here
to-day than there ever was before.
Neither is i: true that the ancestors of the
old population had much 70 do with de.
feating Packenhan:. Jaci1son's fighting
force was mainly composed OF Kentuck-
JAMS and Tennesseeans. The French and
creole population behaved very badly, and
the commanding general had a great deal
OF trouble with some OF them. !: large
numhe. escaped into the interior out OF
harms way, Some sold information to
the British. !. few noble souls joined the
army Of the defenders and did the best
they could. The res: either annoyed
Jackson tor contracts or bothered him
with legal proceedings. The hentuckians
and Tennesseans won the victory, gener-
ally returned to their homes and did not
return. The ancestors of the present
white people of this State lad very little
to Go with the great battle. They had,
however, less real liberty than We enjoy.

Cut This Out.

Every person should understand
how to treat flesh wound, because
one is liable to be placed in circum-
stances, away from surgical and veter-
mary aid, where he may save h
own life, the life of friend or of
beast, simply by using little COM
mon sense. In the first place close
the lips of the wound with the hand,
and hold them firmly together to
check the flow of blood until several
stitches can be taken and a bandage
applied. Then battle the wound for a
long time in cold water. "Should it
be painful" correspondent says,
"take painful of burning Goals and
sprinkle upon them common brown
sugar, and hold the wounded part in
the smoke. In few moments the
pain will be allayed and recovery pro-
ceeds rapidly. In my case rusty
nail. had made bad wound in my foot.
The pain and nervous irritation were
severe. This was all removed by hold
ing it in smoke for fifteen minutes,
and l was enabled to resume my read
ing in comfort. We have often rec
commended it to others with like re-
suits. Last week one of my men had
a finger-nail torn out by pair of ice
tongs. 1t became very painful, as was
to have been expected. Held in sugar
smoke for twenty minutes, the pain
ceased, and promised speedy recov-

What a Boy Knows About Girls.

Girls are the most unaccountable
things in the world-eXcept woman.
Like wicked flea, when you have
them they amt there. can cipher
clean over the improper fractions, and
the teacher says do it first-rate, but
I can't cipher out girl proper or i'm
proper, and you can't either. The
only rule in arithmetic that hits their
case is the double rule of two. They
are as full of the old Nick as their
skins can hold, and they would die if
they couldn't torment somebody.
When they try to be mean, they are
as mean as pusley, though they amt
as mean as they let on; sometimes
they are good deal meaner. The
only way to get along with a girl
when she comes to you with her nom
sense is to give her tit for tat, and chat
will settle her, and when you get
