could have knocked the soul out Of
her."
In volume 8, PIP. 232, 2:3, 234, it is
recorded that the Gospel Magazine, edi-
ted by the famous Toplady, reviewed
an extraordinary and infamous bur-
lesque pamphlet on Wesley, and COM
mended it as "a delicate satire on Yves
ley" and hoped that .'the cream of tar
tar, so ably administered BY the anony-
nous physician, would prove a sweet
mel Of the patients crudities, and con-
duce to carry off some of his self-suffi'
ciency.' Wesley, however, had been
so severely sailed and peppered of
late years. that the considerate editor
of the Gospel Magazine benevolently
intimates that he shall on that account
refrain from adding to the pepper and
salt seasoning, which ''must often have
made Wesley smart and vince like an
eel dispossessed Of its skin.
| This was bad enough, but there were
other things even worse. Wesley s
wife Originally not too respectable
servant girl, stole number of Wes-
ley's letters, and interpolated words
and misinterpreted spiritual express
sions, so as to make the letters bear a
bad construction. She read them to
an elect party of Calvinists, and agreed
to send them to the Morning Post for
publication. Two masked assassins,
who assumed the not inappropriate
names of ' Scorpion " and Snapdrag-
on previously assailed him in the
London newspapers, protesting to
ground their charges against MIN upon
his own private papers, which the wo-
man, who was legally his wife, had put
into their hands. A more Infamous
episode does not occnr in Wesley's his
tory. The charges were cruel insinu-
ations, founded upon interpolated let
ters, stolen by faithless woman, who,
in order to defame husband of whom
she was entirely unworthy, not only
committed the theft, but forgery, and
then put herself into the hands of a
set of holy Calvinists, who employed
her perfdy and meanness in injuring
the man whom at the altar of the most
high God she had sworn to love, honor,
and obey. This is strong language;
but the writer, knowing more than he
chooses to make public, uses it with de-
liberate design.

placed his hat on his head, withdrew,
and forced his way through the motley
crowd which lowered around the place
to the sidewalk. Then he turned on
that crowd and, to use his own express
eion, he s'curried them for hungry set
of sensational coyotes And then the
Judge went to supper.
During this time trlpartlte contract
had been entered into by the principal
actors in this drama. The father was
to abandon his persecution of the girl
and return home. The girl was to 90
to the house of a friend and remain I'M
til she decided to marry the young man
or to 60 to work, but she was not to
come to her father until she was mar
ried. The fellow was to do just as the
girl said.
The father then drew her to one
side and bid her an affectionate good
bye, and they both wept, the daughter
appearing to repent her conduct, and
the father with his girl approached the
marshal and said, Bailey states that l
have abused Eliza. wish her to tell
you about that Then Eliza spoke
up: my father has been good father
to me, and never whipped me or struck
me but three times in my life, and that
was long time ago."
And then the father stepped into his
wagon and drove sorrowfully home
ward. and the young couple walked
down Massachusetts, street, toward
their friends house. And here for the
present our romance stops.

The astonished giant looked at Reeder
and then at his pistol, which was nearly
as large as Reeder, and his face became
a battle-ground where surprise, disap-
pointment, disgust and amusement
struggled for predominance. Then he
stuck the pistol back into the case,
picked up his carpet-bag, and cycling

A GRIM JoKE.-The late Isaac o,
Barnes, of Massachusetts, has been the
subject of many good stories, OF
which has not yet found its way into
print. He had been invited to attend
the funeral of a particular friend and
crony, and as the deceased had, at their
last interview, specially urged bis being
present, be feltin duty bound TO respond,
Arriving at the house of mourning, ne
found the family assembled in a very
small and uncomfortable room, in the
middle of which stood the coffin, that
all might take a last look at the face OF
the departed. The sci vice was conduct
ed by two clergymen, friends of the
family, who, with their long prayers and
extended remarks" consumed fully
two hours, during which MIR. Barnes
suffered untold agony Of suspense and
Impotence.
Hardly had the second minister pro
nounced the "amen," when Barnes, in
his we'll known squeaky voice, turning
to the person sitting nearest to him,
said; "Did you know Kid7" eyes
sir said the man addressed, in q low
voice. GOOD fellow, wasn't he " con
rinued Barnes. Eyes. sir,n still in a sup
pressed tone. "And he was a mighty
smartone, too squeaked Barnes. "Very
smart almost whispered the other, as
the company present began to look in
direction. Yes he was,n piped Barnes,
still louder, With one Of his explosives,
"and If he'd had the running of this
funeral, he'd have been under the ground
an hour and 8 half ago."

The London Economist says: awe
do not suppose that the Americans will
permit the etiquette about reelection to
be broken in 1876, but we can see quite
clearly that General Grant will have a
chance of Il third term. such as his pre-
decessOrs have never enjoyed. The
South will be in his hands, and if the
parties are ever tolerahly equal. the
President, who, while President, carries
the whole negro vote, will be, for one
party o. the other, the only uncOnquer-
able candidate. We may yet date from
this election a real and a considerable
change in American politics, for apart
from all considerations of personal
character, it has, as we conceive, enor
mously strengthened the hands of the
presidency itself"

Nor IRISH BULLS.-Whenever the
paternity of a bull is uncertain, an at
tempt is made to father it ON some IN
fortunate Emeralder. Yet it was a
Scotch woman who said the butcher of
her own town only killed half q beast at
a time it was a Dutchman who said u
pig had no ear marks except a short
tail and it was a British magistrate,
who being told by a vagabond that he
was not married, responded: That's
a good thing for your wife!" 1t was
an English reporter who stated that at
u late meeting the British chronological
Society exhibited "casts of the skull
of an individual taken at different
periods of adult life, to show the changes
produced in ten years; ;" though Dean
Swift mentions two skulls preserved in
Ireland, one of a person when be was q
boy, and the other of the same person
when he had grown to be a man. 1t was
a Portuguese mayor who enumerated
among the marks by which the body of a
drowned man might be identified when
found, ga marked impeachment in his
speech" 1t was the famous CarlinO, the
French Boyle Roche, whoOn contentedly
laying his head on a large stone jar for a
pillow, replied to one who inquired if it
was not rather nara " Not at all, tOr V
stuffed it with hay" twas a Maine edi-
tor who said that a pumpkin in that State
grew so large thateight men could stand
around it-a statement which is only
-equaled by that Of another who saw q
flock of pigeons fly so low that he could
shake a stick at them. 1t wasa Western
orator who, warming with his subject,
exclaimed "There is not a man, wO-
man or child in this house, who has ar
rived at the age of fifty years, bnt has
felt this truth laundering through their
minds for c%entnrieS.N

Of the members of the Legislature
elect from this parish, three were caudi-
dates OF Democratic convention, and
two of them of the white league con
ventiOn-one of them having been a
nominee of both conventions, and one a
nominee of only the white league. None
of them we believe ever was a member
of the white league organization. The
two members of that organization who
were nominated, failed to be elected.
They are both gentleman of learning

themselves well as such, if they had

The Election.

We give below IL statement of the
number OF votes received by each can
didate, at the election in this parish last
Monday, from, and including, Police
Jurors up. 1t is taken from d tabular
statement carefully made from the ward
returns and compared with the state
ment made by the Registrars clerks
from the same source. 1t is probably as
free from errors as any report that could
be published this week. From it, all
our readers can see who is elected. We
give now only the votes for and against
the first proposed amendment. There
is some difference as to the vote on some
of them, as at one polling place the last
two amendments seem not to have been
voted on at all, or at least there was no
returns showing it. Next week we will
endeavor to give d more detailed report,
that will show what vote each candidate
received Mt each polling place:
The Opelousas journal. [volume] (Opelousas, La.) 1868-1878, 1874-11-06

The first proposed amendment was
defeated in this parish by about 80 votes,
tho second by about 66 votes, and the
third by about 81 votes. The fourth
amendment was carried or adopted by
about 81 votes, and the fifth by about
IS votes. If the Democratic had taken
a decided stand for them they would
have all been adopted by a large ma
jority. But all the white league tickets
and most of the Democratic tickets were
printed against the amendments, as can
didates Of the latter party did not like
to prejudice their chances by making an
issue with the white leaguers ON this
subject.
