the matter grayely, and finally wrote to

1t was evening when he arrived at the
manor house, just so light that he could
see the rich country through which he was
trayelling-could discern, with his artist
eyes, the beautiful wooded lands, which
he was told had belonged to the Firing
tons for numberless generations. He
dressed for dinner in handsome old
fashioned chamber, and was conducted TO

lighted. in which everything was rich, an

the fire alone-a young and graceful fig

rose as he approached, but kept her face
averted. He saw the lovely and familiar
outline OF a cheek, head with crown of

did not know that upon this home-hearth
burned for him, now and ever more, that
life-light which had once been called q

When she came home to him with the
child, he being afraid of her, had helped
her to conceal it. He was then a waiter
in Paris. and they took up house together
and prospered. She assured him that her
motive for stealing the child had been re-
venge, and that one day, after the parents
had suffered enough, large reward
should be obtained for restoring her to
10 them. With this he had been obliged
to be satisfied. His wife set up business
rs a clear-starcher. and made money
enough for the child s support and her own.
She used to smudge the child's face with
brown. and dress it in boys clothing but
she died suddenly when it was five years
of age. Then had Monsieur thought Of
Kidding himself of the burden, but was

He became afraid of his very life Mt the
thought of any one discovering the identl-
tv Of the girl. Heaviest punishment, he
feared, must be the reward of his daring
to restore her to her sorrowing friends.
When he came to Dindans, as owners OF
the inn. he brought with him Slime as his
niece. and a strange woman came to to
live in cottage outside the town,-who
pretended to be his sister-in-law, and the
mother of the girl. He had trained Slime
to be useful, and, by marrying her to

Kellogg's Supervisors,

Luz siICCllty VI NcllOSSS PROMISE
to give the people of the State and
city u fair election is demonstrated by
his recent appointments of supervi-
sors. Four-tiftbs of those selected
for this parish arc office holders,
either under the Federal, State or
city administration. When these
men know that upon this registration
depends their future chances fox Of
fee, what can be expected of them
Will they act fairly and impartially
Will they discharge their duties as
honest officials, and do full justice to
all parties
Those who are familiar with the
character of Republican officials 10
this State, know we'll that they will
stop at nothing short of the accom-.
plishment of their purposes, however
infamous and nefarious they may be.
They will throw every impediunnt
in the way of the registration Of the
white people, and will fiaudulently
issue to the negroes as many certiii-
Gates as may be required to attain
their object. They have done this
before, and they will do it again, un-
less prevented by the people in a
manner that will strike terror to their
very hearts, if they have any.
1t is we'll known that only through
the grossest fraud and illegal conduct
can the Republicans of this State hope
to succeed in the next election
Finding their inability to cope will,
the white people fairly, it is their
intention to commit such barefaced
and inexcusable wrongs as will bring
about violence and perhaps bloodshed,
with Il view Of thus securing the
presence of Federal troops. These
obtained aud, they imagine an easy
victory to 10 within their reach.
Let these hopeful office. holders not
deceive themselves, however, in this
way. As We have said before, the
people are determined to have u fair
election or no election at all. If,
therefore, there he any attempt made
to deprive honest voters of tue right
of registration and of voting, there
will be such steps taken as will bring
about the substitution of military
government for the bastard concern
that now pretends to exercise authori-
ty over Louisiana.
No one expected for a moment that
Kellogg would appoint any ono as
supervisor save the most plant, sub
servient and INSCRIPTIONS of his un.
derlings. Decent men would scorn to
do the dirty work he requires Of
them, and hence he is driven to se-
lect from tho purlieus and dregs of
society and the lowest haunts Of the
ignorant and debased negroes for
creatures to do his bidding.
Such are the men who hold in their
hands the political destiny Of a great
State like Louisiana! Will then,
the intelligent and civilized world be
surprised at or condemn the determi-
nation of the white people to rid them
selves of such a loathsome and Kill
ling oppression7 Are we to be cen.
'tured for maintaining our liberty,
asserting our manhood, and purify
ing our country of a foul element that
breathes destruction on all that is
good and fair?
If so, then better abandon Louis
lana to the fetish rites of the voudo
and give the negro and the alligator
undisputed sway IN. 0. Bulletin.

CoNrlDExcE..-There is nothing like
confidence in either friendship Of
love. 1fpeople will have secrets, and
will enjoy the privilege Of shutting
others out of their Utmost hearts,
they must make up their minds to
forego all that tenderness which can
only come through a thorough knowl-
edge Of each other. We must, at
least, believe that We read the very
soul Of man or woman, or there is a
barrier between US, too large for love
to climb. True, with most people it
iP best to be only on terms Of court
esy. But We all need something bet.
tor than this; We crave sympathy
and appreciation E; and we cannot win
these by formal smiles and society
politeness-by keeping our true selves
shut away from sight, and presenting,
instead, q we'll dressed dummy with.
out feelings or opinions. 1t is easy
to love person who frankly owns ia
something of which we disapprove,
or who thinks we do not, on many
subjects. But it is impossible to be
tender to one who regards US with
such suspicion that he will not allow
US to guess his motives or lis inten.
tions, his hopes or his fears, his joys
gu his sorrows: who will never, unde,
any circumstances, reveal himself
When we know nothing of any one,
We are ready to believe anything We
hear. If we hear nothing, we grow
suspicious. We have no right to ex.
pect confidence of the multitude, but
the individuals who are nearest to u
wrong US if they do not show it, and
in my opinion, very bitterly.
