THE GRANGERs SPEAK.

The executive committees of the State
Oranges of Louisiana and Mississippi have
prepared an address "to the Patron of
Husbandry throughout the United States"
1t is a political paper, and it says ''the
people here do not govern" "they are the
subjects OF satraps;" government has be-
come speculation" "take the military of
the general government from our houses,
homes and legislative halls" 'give us
peace" 1t says the report of the sub.con-
gressional committee tells the truth, al
though it might have said Mr. Potter omit
ted something which Congress is anxious to
be informed about. When the potato
merchants meet to denounce the President,
and the agents of the cattle show
postpone fair for political reasons, it is
not strange that the Grangers should "vio-
late the sacred principles of our noble order
by entering upon the discussion of politics"
Are they afraid2 In Louisiana colored men
are not allowed to become Grangers, Here
we have colored population largely out
numbering the whites, and we have a State
depending almost entirely upon colored
labOrers for the raising of crops. With such
state Of things whom do our political
Grangers repfesent9 Not the masses, or the
laboring men, butthe doctors, lawyers and
clergymen who try to cultivate public
opinion instead of the\soil, and very bad
crops they are raising. \They may be
patrons, but they are not the real hus.
bandmen. The honest Grangers>> of the
West will protest against the ward
club stand taken by their Southern
brethren, because they are not afraid. 1t is
differant here, where all local organizations
are whipped into political harness, from a
Bible society to base ball club. Now,
every Granger in the land has the individ
ual right and privilege of voting tbs Demo
cratic ticket, saying MIR. Wiltz is Speaker
or doing anything else as man; but nc
executive committee has the right to dis
pose of well-meaning order officially by
committing it to a suicidal Democratic
policy. What should interest the Louisiana
grangers most is the labor question, and a
report from them of the number of laborers
discharged from employment by reason OF
voting the Republican ticket, taking Caddc
parish for example, would be of great pub
lie interest Are they afraid Thinking
men believe that starving and killing field
hands who are Republicans is game moi
conducive to agricultural prosperity. What
do the Grangers think

IL, to secure laborers the first privileged
lien on crops of cotton, sugar or other agri-
cultural products raised by them in whole
or in part, which passed its first and second
readings and was referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
Mr.. Keating introduced House bill No.
Is, regulating the fees of recorders, which
passed its first and second readings and
was referred to the judiciary Committee
Mr.. Drury introduced House bill No. 10,
abolishing the Third and Fourth Municipal
Police Courts of Orleans, which passed its
first reading. On its second reading Mr..
Drury moved that it be referred to the
Committee on Retrenchment and Reform.
Mr.. Demas> moved, as an amendment,
that it be referred to the Committee on Ju-
| dietary.
Mr. Murrell moved that this motion be
laid on the table, and it was>earried.
Mr.. Murrell then spoke in favor of refer
ring to the Committee on Retrepchment
and reform. He wanted all these reform
measures referred to that committee. ~
Mr.. Sartain said that this was bill to
abolish judicial office, and the Judiciary
Committee was the proper committee to
consider it.
Mr.. Murrel raised the point of order that
the question had been decided 80 far as the
Judiciary was concerned, and the gentle
man from Carroll had no right to discuss
motion which had been lost.
The Chair decided the point we'll taken.
The bill was then referred to the Com.
mittee on Retrenchment and reform.
A communication from the Governor was
presented inclosing transcript OF judicia
proceedings in the case of Anthony Dray-
ton, clerk of court, parish of Terrebonne,
which was referred to the Committee on
Judiciary.
Mr.. Murrell moved that the veto message
of the Governor in relation to the bill amend
ing the charter of the parish of Orleans be
considered at one o'clock, next Tuesday,
which was adopted.
Mr. Mathews called for the enforcement
of rule twenty, and the hall was cleared of
all but members. AS soon as the doors
were opened the House adjourned till to-
day at twelve o'clock.

Death of H. l.. Mcdonnell.

An unfortunate young man suddenly
died yesterday at coffeehouse on Common
street, near Carondelet, who was well
known in this city as Major Mcconnell.
The immediate cause of his death may have
been heart disease or congestion; but his
end came without warning. Mr.. McCOn-
nell was native of Pennsylvania, having
been born in that State in 1910. When
fourteen years of age he entered the Mill
tary Academy at West Point as a cadet.
For some reason he did not gradute,
but renewed his acquaintance with
military service at the outbreak
of the rebellion. He was an officer
of the Missouri militia, which became q
part of the volunteer forces of the United
States, and soon obtained the rank OF Major
He was one Of the brightest and most
promising young officers of the army, and
was entrusted in the important position Of
Provost Marshal of St. Louis, about the
years 1862 and 1868. With all his capabilities
and prospects of fame and fortune, however,
he became his own enemy, and place and
power slipped from his grasp. Losing his

pondent for several New York and Western
papers, and has since been in some way
connected with the press and various
newspapers. He came here some four
years since, and has written for
the Chicago Inter- Ocean, Memphis
ACalanehe, Louisville CoUrier-JourBal and
occasionally had employment on local
papers. His last work here was for the
Times. Like Lieutenant Cassie, he too
often "put an enemy into his mouth to steal
away his brains" Bright and genial, he
was naturally a man to make many friends.
and he did find those who again and again
put him on his feet. For time he would
thrive and get back his old elegance. of
dress and manner, and then he would lose
his hold and pride and drop back into old
and reckless ways. There is nothing but
kind words to be said of such man. He
was pitied and helped, but without result,
tor he worked against himself. And so he
died, as others have gone down, too soon,
wearing out fine physique and destroying
the vigor of brilliant mind.

The appearance of Lawrence Barrett at
the Varieties Theatre, last night, was the
signal for enthusiastic applause from q
large audience. The play was "Richelieu,' ;,
and tho tragedian gave a truthful repre-
sentation of the Cardinal, as drawn by
Bulwer. 1t was the representation of a
man who lived in strange times, the minis.
ter OF a weak king surrounded by corrupt
court. 'Richelieu mastered the situation,
plotting against plot, committing crimes to
prevent crime, and while sparing none
in gratifying his personal ambition,
he still professed to love, and did
love his cOuntry-France. His love for
France was the one redeeming trait in his
character, and it appears that all efforts to
assassinate him were coupled with endea-
vors to overthrow the government he
guarded jealOusly. The character is one
calling for the highest powers of dramatic
artist. Where Mr.. Forrest and Mr.. Booth,
and few others have succeeded, hundreds
have failed to grasp the character entirely.
Lawrence Barrett appears to fit the char
aeter, and RichelieU becomes him we'll. He
has elaborated and polished his perform
ance of it into a perfect thing, and he has
played it SO often and well that playgoers
regard him as a great Richelieu. He must
be SO written down until some one else
plays the part better. The same bill for to.
night.
At the st. Charles Theatre Mrs. F. w.
Lander appeared in the historical play OF
"Marie Antoinette," herself acting the
Queen. Mrs. Lander is of the old school of
true artists, and her powers are in no way
diminished. Her company is large and
strong one, and the play of last night was
elegantly oostumed and acted. 1t will be
repeated tonight.

According to the new contract with the
gas company, public lamps on the streets
are not to be lighted when the almanac
says that the moon should shine. Last
night the moon did not show it's face, as
mists and clouds were too heavy. Not q
single street lamp made darkness visible,
consequently every thorOughfare wore
dreary look. AS Mayor CrOssmsn once said;
"The moon should shine by order of the
Mayor" Perhaps Luna did shine last night,
bat not on this part of the world

The intuition of the Treasury girls serves
them well in the counterfeit business; and
General Spinner, who has had twelve years
experience in the work, says they are worth
ten times as much as the men for such
business. "a man always has a reason for
a counterfeit says the General, "but he is
wrong half the time. A woman never has
reason. She says tits counterfeit, and
she's always right-though she couldn't tell
how she found ont, if she were to be hung

Jules Verne, one of the most popular au-
thors of ths, present day, is now fOrty-six
years of age, five feet nine inches in height,
and wears full beard. He is bronzed by
ocean travel and the very picture of rude
health. His hair is white, his beard gray,
his movements quick and nervous, his
words crisp and short, and his eye rowing
and observant.

These were distributed in thirty places,
four being the lowest and fifty-eight the
highest number of soldiers at any one place.

in its life saved him an ~incalculabIe
amount of money by its horse sense. The
Deacon says himself and wife, while par
taking of their MONDAY meal, were
very much surprised at the actions Of
their horse, which was loose in the road
near the house. It would run up to the
gate, neigh vigorously, and then run off
again. This was repeated several times.
and the Deacon arose from the table to as
certain the cause of its strange conduct.
He reached the door and looked out, and
saw away off in the direction the horse
had run a dense smoke. He seized his
hat and ran to the place. Gentlemen"
said he, lightning had struck a tree and
set it on fire, and the flames had commu-
nicated to my fence around my cornield,
containing about 800 bushels of corn.
The fire had consumed about a dozen pan
els Of fencing and reached a branch. NV
horse, when [ arrived, was standing in
this branch dipping her tail into the water
and throwing the water on the burning
fence" The crowd looked incredulous.
The Deacon said: Gentlemen, if you
don't believe it, ask Mahaly."

How He Got Even With the Collector.

AT Hardin, Ray County, lives an hon
est, quaint old gentleman named Trigg,
who keeps q grocery store. He was for
some reason suspected by the Internal Rev
enue Collector at St. Joe of keeping
"crooked'' tobacco.
One morning a gentlemanly-looking
man dropped into his store and said that
he was travelling, and was out of tobac-
co. He could smoke nothing but pure
leaf, and wanted to buy a few pounds;
it would be a great accommodation, and
he must have it. The old man protested
that he kept it only for his own use, that
it was against the law, and thathe couldn't
sell a pound at any price. The Collector
begged so hard, and protested so strongly
that no one would ever know it, that
Trigg "smelt a mice,' and finally con-
sented to put up five pounds for him.
Mr.. Collector pulled out his book
and asked the price. Five hundred
dollars" quietly remarked the old man.
:" When a revenue officer goes out of his
way to induce a man to break the law,
in order to prosecute him, I must have
money enough to pay my fine" Mr..
Collector lacked about 1890 of having the
money, and concluded that he didn't want
any leaf tobacco at that price.-Carr0dt0n

Profitable Investmlent.

in these times any man who has money to
invest desires to place it where it will make
the best return. This being admitted, we
undertake to say that $3.50 invested in the
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN will return ten fold
its cost to the subscriber during the year.
Talk no more of hard times when you can
get an illustrated newspaper of the high
character of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, con-
tanning sixteen pages full of engravings
every week, postage free, for $500 a year,
equal in measurement to 1900 book pages.
The fact that this paper has been published
every week for thirty years, and has a larger
circulation than the combined circulation of
all other papers of its kind in the world, is
a sufficient guarantee TO new subscribers
that they will get the paper regularly, and
all the numbers they pay for, and it is fur
nished SO cheaply hat no farmer, mechanic,
inventor or manufacturer can afford to do
without it.

tells you how it pays. =
