The COMPROMISE.

i. seems that very grave misrepresentation
exists in this community in regard to the
compromise ratified by the State Central Com
mittee of the white people of Louisiana.
Many persons are of the opinion that the COM
promise ratified is what is termed the Terre-
bonnie compromise, by which it was proposed
by parties in New Orleans to throw overheard
the straightout white movement, and nominate
tickets in all the parishes composed OF negroes
and white men. This is an error No such COM
promise has been agreed upon: none such has
even taken shape so that it could be acted
upon, and We doubt if the proposition was
ever seriously entertained by those in New
Orleans who ngitated it. 1t was most likely
talked of by the Liberals for the purpose OF
influencing the Bourbon Democrats to accord
the Liberals a fair representation in the parish
and city conventions.
The compromise which the Central Com
mittes ratified is the one in relation to the
organization of an Advisory Board, to advise
and suggest to Kellogg the change and ap-
pointment of Supervisors OF Registration, and
by which the white people are accorded two
members of the Returning Board. We OBJ
jected to this compromise, but since it has
been ratified we propose to do no growing
over it, The ticket nominated in New Or
leans is q full-blooded white ticket, and is
composed of good men. The plan Of our
campaign has not been changed anywhere,
except in the parish of Terrebonne, and We
have no1dea that it will be. Every man to
his post, and let every man do his duty

TWO PIOUS WOMEN.
How a Three.card Monte Man Won Their
Basket of Bibles.
From The Alta-california.l


Last Wednesday as the western
bouLd tram of the Central Pacific
Railroad arrived at Toano two wo-
men of the crusading class, who had
been travelling on the train for some
time, got off to see if they could fnd
either sin or sinner to go for. They
had with them basket filled with
nice little Bibles, and with these
they were going about doing good
and making money. While on the
train they sold several Bibles and
talked about religion and rum to
every one who would submit to be-
ing thus inflicted While wandering
about seeking customers for their
wares they ran across a genteel look
ing individual, who was engaged
tossing around three pieces of paste-
board, and who seemed to be buried
in deep meditation. They drew
nigh unto him, and, noticing his fine
ly cut, classical features were DER
spread with shades of sadness, they
offered consolation and q Bible for
four bits. Finding there were no
customers in sight be good-natured-
~ resolved to give the ladies little
game, just to while away time and
keep them quiet. Hedrew the cards
and asked them to draw the Jack,
which he had previously shown them.
They did so, once, twice, three times.
Then he threw them again, and one
of the innocents cried, "there it is 4;
you can't fool me if you do throw
EN- quick" mo. madame, you are
mistaken" he.replied, and drawing
out of his pocket a ten and two
twenty-dollar pieces, he said, OH
bet you $50 you don't know which is
the Jack" "Oh, we never bet, :"
said one of them, "but you can't fool
US with your nimble fingers" And
then they stood and eyed those gold
pieces and thought how much good
they would do them and how little
the possessor, apparently, appreciat-
cd their worth. Watching for the
favorable moment the reckless young
man said. swell, don't care, seeing
it's you, I'll tell you what Ill do,
seeing yen are so sure about. it, III
bet you this $50 against that basket
of books-hallo, dem-me, they're b.
bles but everything goes as it laws
you can't find the Jack" Now
they were convinced more than ever
that he was a bold, bad, wicked man.
and they determined to take bis
money to help them along in the
good cause in which they were en-
gagged. They "put up", and as they
were certain that the same card was
one they were after, one of them
seized it with, ''this is the boy. 1t

MILK CooLING The following
mode Of cooling milk is now prac-
ticed by the Chicago mik-deaIers,
they having discarded the use of ice !:
A can is filled with milk and is placed
with cover Off in stream of spring
water till the temperature of the
milk is very nearly the same az that
of the water +; the milk is not stirred
while the cooling process is going on.
Most farmers have cooling vat of
capacity four times as large as the
milk vessels that are placed in it.
The cans are placed on Stats near the
bottom, while the water warmed by
the milk flows off at the top. The
water should stand an inch over the
body of the can. With good conveD-
fences, milk 10 ordinary sizad cans
may be cooled in about thirty MIR
utcs. Where farmers have no springs
they rely on water pumped from
wells When milk bias ben cooled in
this manner, the covers. are put IN
place aad the cans are covered with
blankets, if they are exposed to the
sun. Nearly all the dairymen now
unite in the opinion that milk is in
Jured for any purpose by being cool
ed TOO suddenly, as by the use of ice
or the employment of patent coolers.
They also agree that warm milk
should not be mixed with that which
is cold. as is frequently done by
pouring milk into can that already
contains milk cooled by the use of ice,

An Old Time Scandal and How It was
Dealt With.

About seventy years ago, there lived
in this country very great man. MS
name was Alexander Hamilton. lie
had been a distinguished officer OF the
Revolution, and trusted friend and
counsellor of the illustrious Washing
ton. On the organization of the gov
eminent, Hamilton became leader OF
a great political party, and was APP
pointed the first Secretary OF the
Treasury of the United States. He
was the ablest man who ever filed that
office. As a party leader at time of
fierce political excitements, Mr.. Ham
ilton was the shining mark of many
bitter assaults. His own party was
not slow or moderate in its counter.
Mr.. Jefferson was the target OF the
federal or Hamiltonian diatribes. His
private life, too, was overhauled, and
his every act distorted into something
criminal or immoral. There was no
limit to this sort of abuse on both
sides. At last the Jeffersonians open
ed a precious piece of scandal against
Mr.. Hamilton, which did not need
coloring or even exaggeration to rem
der it excessively distasteful to his
friends and damaging to his reputation.
The story ran thus: A bnxom and
attractive young woman had visited
the young and susceptible Secretary
of the Treasury, and under pretext Of
seeking some favor of him, had capt.
waited and seduced him from the paths
of duty and morality. An armour of
a somewhat extended and complicated
character sprang out of the affair,
which had gone far enough, however,
to expose the character of the woman
as an adventurer and blackmailer of
the most avaricious nature. Finally
a convenient husband was introduced
into the drama, an illiterate and vul-
gar fellow, who attempted the panel
game on the great Secretary. Moth
ing but an Office in the Treasury or
$50, 900 in cash would solace the
wounds of hishonor and connubial fe
licity, which were inflicted by Ham
ilton.
That great man resisted and defied
the arts and opportunities Of both the
woman and her suppostious husband.
Thereupon they sold their valuable
scandal to the enemies of Mr.. Hamil-
ton, who were not slow in laying
the whole affair before the world.
The friends of Hamilton denied
the story at first, but were quick
ly silenced by the amazing courage
and honesty of his answer. Freely
admitting that he had strayed from
the path of duty, and had grievously
sinned as father and husband under
the wiles and seducing arts of volup'
tuous woman, he Indignantly repelled
all aspersions upon his honor as a pub
lie official and gentleman. For his
sin, of which he had deeply repented,
he asked the indulgence of his fellow
citizens, but if he had permitted him.
self to be misled by any arts or infu-
ence to betrayal of the high trusts
confded to him, he should feel that
he had no right to ask their forgive
ness or indulgence.
1t is a curious fact in our political
and social history that Mr.. Hamil
toms manly answer completely dis
armed the public censure, and he con-
tinued until bis unhappy death the
idol of his party, and the most ad-
mired and respected political chieftaln
of the era.-Ne,o Orleans Picagnne. !.
