brothers named Lille. While both
were on a visit to Ohio during the
lato campaign in Iowa, one of them
was nominated for County Superin
tendent by the Democrats. BY an
error of the committee, in ordering
the tickets, the other brothers mi.

the wrong member of the family
was elected. But the funniest part
of all is that the man elected differs

TINE TO QUIT. A soaker in a
ncighboring town had been on a
hard spree. Next morning he wan.
ted to top off, but the query was,
how to get the liquor. His jug was
empty, his pockets ditto, and the
tavern keeper wouldn't trust. Cast
ing his eyes round, he spied his
wile's pocket Bible, which he slyly
slipped into his own pocket, and
off he went to the tavern. After
coaXing the landlord for a drink in
vain, he produced the Bible and
offered it as security, but it was no
go. "Thats not yours; take it
home to your wife, In vain he
begged for one glass, and insisted
on leaving the Bible, promising to
go to work and pay him out of the
first money he got. The publican
was memorable. "Well," said he.
"when you won't take either my
word or the word of God for drink
it's high time for me to quit" He
carried the Bible home signed the
pledge, and has drank none since.

A TIP-Top LIFE. A young man
who is serving out term in the
Michigan state prison has written a
long letter to his friends, dwelling
upon the causes which led him into
crime, and summing up the condi-
tions Of "tip.top life" as understood
by rapid young gentlemen. He
says: "You may not comprehend
this term, but let me explain. By
living tip-top life is meant, first,
to be idle; second, to drink whiskey
or anything else, and, of course,
get drunk third, to frequent all
places of coarse fun, such AS cock
fights, boxing matches, horse races,
etc. fourth, to steal all they can
lay their hands upon. This, then,
is living tip-top life. Thus have
| fallen, and thus have thousands
of young men fallen"

of the largest and best conducted
in the city. This fair is held at the
Hippodrome-a hewildering build

dolls, smoking sets, lounging chairs
and such necessaries of life, are
dealt by some of the handsomest
women in the city. The most

esses Of the better class, aud no.

managers of the fair had large
number of valuable articles to be
ratified for, but they were warned by
the city authorities that if lotteries
and raffles formed part of the attrac-

dealt with according to law, the
officials deeming it unfair to apply
the law against gambling in one set

Editor O,.achita Telegraph
1.note with pleasure your call to the con-
servative voters Of the State of Louisiana
to rally beneath the banner of the National
Democratic party for the general election
of 1876.
1t affords me the greater pleasure to give
prompt adhesion to the justice and cor
rectness of your views, because in past
years we have differed amicably as to the
policy Of such a course. It has never been
q difference of principle with us. Neither
loved the Democratic party less, but we
loved the State of Louisiana more.
have always thought, and always shall
think, that as the Northern Democratic
party contributed materially by its conduct
during the war to deprive US of our politi-
cal status, it should have been ready after
the war to contribute equally to restore us
to that status. 1t failed to do SO, and con-
seq,pently our allegiance to the party, as a
party, was dissolved, and we were left to
our unaided resources to work out our own
redemption. This has been the true cause
of the political differences, If they are wor-
thy to be called differences, which have OK
listed among us.
Democrats, White Leaguers, Liberals and
Reforners have all been equally intent up
on the redemption of the State; and though
should be ono of the last to defend the
conduct of our representatives in the COM
promise Of last winter, we have no right to
question the purity of their motives, since
they must have been convinced Of the I'M
willingness or inability of the National
party to help us in the dire strait to which
we we're reduced, before they could bring
themselves to a course by which they have
forfeited the confidence Of their constitu-
ents.
But such differences are all past, and in
preparing for the great struggle which is to
determine the fate Of American institutions
they should be forgotten. There is but one
banner in the field, and our duty to our
selves and to our State is to rally around
that banner, and under its folds to strik'
the last blow for constitutional govern
mont. Your obedient servant,
WADE r. YOUNG.
