LOUISIANA.

New Orleans, Feb. Elm the con-
servative caucus last night, the debate
on compromise was kept up until
after midnight. The proposition under
consideration was that the cOnserva-
tives should have majority Of about
ten in the House and that the past
action of the Kellogg government
should not be inquired into. The vote
stood 50 in favor of this compromise
to p against. After this vote, Speaker
Wilt, it is stated, rendered his resig-
nation, and Gov. McEnery, who was
present, by courtesy, said that by this
action of the caucus it was evident to
him it was time to lower the Demo
cratic banner, and he therefore wished
to retire.
New Orleans, February THE
proposed compromise is the gem
eral topic of conversation to-day
among the politicians and bust
ness men. The indications are
that the vote tomorrow in the
conservative caucus will be very
close, the members, apparently being
equal for and against compromise.
1t is understood that not a member of
the present legislature will yield,
consequently the proposed adjustment
is generally regarded imPracticabIe.

Among the Australian savages it is
said that if mother finds q young baby
troublesome to carry about, she viii eat
it (although she will not allow any one
else TO do so), under the full persuasion
that she merely deferred its birth, and
that the next child she bears viii be a
reappearance of the eaten one. When
demonstrated with she will reply: |" oh,
massa, he plenty come againl"
BY some Arctic travellers it has been
asserted that the Esquimaux have been
known to eat their sledges when pressed
with hunger but when we remember
that these sledges are made of frozen
salmon, with skins sewed over them,
our wonder is modified, and, in an ex-
tremity, piece of one sledge, washed
down with whale oil, might not be such
a dreadful tit-bit.

THE KING OF THE. CANNIBAL
ISLANDS.


a Tune, "Mofbr0uk.1 u -
The King OF the Cannibal Islands
Decided to conquer some dry lands,
so he marched over valleys spd highIands
With twenty-four cannibal brnvo1{
With two dozen man-eatiug knoves,
All hungry as 70 many graves, tt#
He skirmished through earthlands aad nkyland>
Defiant of weather and waves. =
He came to Atlantis the Holy,
Whose people were lamb-hke and lowly,
Though growing touch roly-poly
And languid in fasting and prayers;
They tasted while sleeping, like bears,
And prayed In their Vanity Fairs,
And walked in the narrow way slowly,
Much cumbered with Beelzebub's wares.
Then followed wonderful battle;
Good lack! how the weapons did rattle
The women, the children, the cattle
Took part In the desperate strife;
They carried the var TO the knife
With slaughter Atlantis was rife;
About II the MUSES. will prattle
While Providence granteth them life.
The Cannibals turned out the winners,
They made twenty-five hearty dinners,
They gobbled the saints and the sinners
And put all Atlantis to sack;
They swallowed white, yellow and black,
The hungriest, greediest pack
OF robbers and pickers and skinners
That ever sent region to wrack.
Henceforth they were chiefs of the nation,
And lived by relief legislation;
They served up bill for collation.
And fattened law like beast;
Their appetites daily increased;
lunch was a patent, at least
While railroads and sfeafn1navlutiOn
Scarce furnished the joints fora feast.

A Telegram in 1874.

The Hon. Hendrick b. Wright, of
Pennsylvania, writing to Col. j. Thomas
Scharf, in regard to some notice in his
Chronicles of Mr.. Folks nomination
to the Presidency of the United States
at the Democratic convention held in
Baltimore in 1874, says
In connection with this fact / wish
to state to you an anecdote concerning
the telegraph. At that date, May 10,
1874, the only telegraph in the United
States was from Baltimore to Washing
ton. / was the President of the Conven-
ton. We nominated Silas Wright as
Vice-President of the United States, and
the Convention directed me to notify him
of his nomination and learn if he would
accept it, / sent q dispatch, and he an
swered Immediately that he declined the
nomination, The Convention, however,
refused to consider the information rs
authentic. They could not be made to
understand this way of communication,
and adjourned the Convention over to
the next day to enable committee to go
to Washington by rail, where Mr.. Wright
was, and get at the truth of the fact
80 we adjourned over, and on the next
day the committee came back with the
same answer we had received by wire I
And so incredulous were the great ma
iority of the body, tliat, after the final
adjournment, many OF us vent to the
telegnph-ofiice to see the wonderful in
vention, and, even when the wires were
put in motion at our suggestion, many of
the delegates shook their heads, and
could not hut think the whole thing q
deception. - baltimore Sun. Ai

Itlooks queer to see a Nevada paper
protesting against distractions to camel
travel, and yet that is what the Virginia
Enterprise is doing. 1t says 1--WE
hope members of the Legislature will,
before voting, carefully consider Mr..
Carvings bill, which seeks to prohibit the
travelling of camels and dromedaries
on the public roads. Members should
remember that these animals were
brought here originally at great expense
by the government they thrive well in
the desert they are useful as pack ami
mails the man or men who own them
have property rights. All these things
must be considered. To turn them off
the roads is to destroy their usefulness.
We hope Mr.. CARING will explain
whether the roads usually travelled by
these animals are crowded by teams, or
whether it is necessary for the safety of
men who drive horses that these ami
mails be excluded from all pnblic high
ways. Mr.. Carling,ought to make full
explanation and as he is young leg
islator we suggest that on this subject of
camels he hump himself little"

CURIOsITIEs OF ANIMAL FooD.

For several years past the fantastic
French have been luxurating on horse
flesh, and recently wild Englishman
gave grand dinner, at which choice cut
tings from q favorite horse were served
up as the leading delicacy of his table.
The horse was Is years old, and had been
ridden on many a splendid hunt but
those facts, OF course, only tended to
enhance the luxury.

A few days ago young Gurley, whose
father lives on Croghan street, organized
theatrical company and purchased the
dime novel play of " Hamlet" The
company consisted of three boys and a
hostler, and Mr.. Gurley's hired girl was
to be the " Ghost If the troupe could

Young Gurley suddenly bloomed ont

claimed.
1.-THE tyrant who lays his hand upon
me shall die replied the boy, but he
got the wood.
He was out on the step when man
came along and asked him where Lafay-
cite street was.
Doomed for certain time to roam
the earth replied Grirley in hoarse
voice, and holding his right arm out
straight.

All! Could the dead but speak

The man drove him into the house,
and his mother sent him to the grocery
after potatoes.

as he took up the basket, +" but my good
sword shall some day avenge these in

He knew that the grocer favored the
atricals, and when he got there he said !:
Art thou provided with q store of
that vegetable known as the 'tater, most
excellent duke q"
"What in thunder do you want2 :"
growled the grocer as he cleaned the
cheese-knife on piece of paper.
Thy plebeian mind is duh of compre-
hension " answered Gurley.
"Don't try to get off any of your non
sense on me, or I'll crack your empty
pate in a minute 70 roared the grocer,
and g Hamlet" had to come down from
his high horse and ask for peck of
potatoes.

mother as he returned
"'Thy grave shall be dug in the cy-
press glade !" he haughtily answered.
When his father came home at noon,
Mrs. Gurley told him that she believed
the boy was going crazy, and related
what had occurred.
g see what ails him, unused the
father "this explains why he hangs
around Johnson's barn SO much.V
At the dinner table young Gurley
spoke of his father as the " illustrious
Count, and when his mother asked him
if he would have some butter gravy he
answered
"The appetite of warrior cannot be
satisfied with such nonsense"
When the meal was over the father
went out to his favorite shade tree, cut a
sprout, and the boy was asked to step
out into the woods and see if the pen
stock was frozen up. He found the old
man there, and he said
"Why, most noble lord, ! had sup
posed thee far away
"I'm not so far away but what I'm
going to make you sldp!" growled the
father. "I'll teach you to fool around

For about five minutes the woodshed
was full of dancing feet, flying AIMS, and

THE sooner new potatoes are cooked
after being dug the more palatablc they
are. Clean of all the loose skin with a
coarse towel aud cold water when
rubbed clean put into scalding water,
and boil from twenty to thirty minutes,
according to size; new potatoes are
usually cooked too long. Turn off all
the water, sprinkle little salt on them,
and shake the kettle with both hands
over the handle. This makes them look
very floury. Serve with butter and salt.
