PHosPHoRUs.-How many of our read
ers who are daily indebted to those do
mestic conveniences, matches, ever pause
to consider the basis or nature of the art
icle that gives them their Illuminating
capacity. In appearance, phosphorus
resembles beeswax, but it is more trans
parent, approaching the color of amber.
Its name is derived from the Greek, and
signifies light bearer" and is indicative
of its peculiar quality, being self lumi-
nous. When exposed to the air, it shines
like star, giving out beautiful, lam
bent, greenish light. Phosphorus can
be dissolved in warm sweet oil and if thus
prepared, it be rubbed over the human
face, the features assume CHASTITY look
in the dark, unlike aught else in the
world.
Many curious experiments can be per-
formed with this singular production.
Take bit Of it, for instance, and write a
line on the wall of a well lighted room at
night then remove the candles, or shut
off the gas, and when the room becomes
perfectly dark, the words will come out
on the wall in letters of fire. Cabalistic
phrases or grotesque figures prove very
effective in such circumstances, and per-
sons have even been frightened into fits,
who did not understand the mode by
which the phenomenon was produced.
1t literally becomes the handwriting on
the wall" It's an ancient discovery, and
was first made public two hundred years
ago by chemist of Hamburg, named
Brand, who travelled over Europe, oxhib-
iting the strange material to kings and
mobiles, and for a long time keeping his
own secret in regard to the singular pro-
duction. He thus made a fortune by the
article, finally selling his discovery to a
philosopher Of that day, named Kraft.
The origin Of phosphorus is the most
singular thing about it. Every other
substance with which we are acquainted,
can be traced to earth or air, but phos-
phorus seems to be of an animal origin.
OF all animals, man contains the most,
and Of the various parts Of the body, the
brain, by analysis, yields more than any
other part. This gives rise to a curious
deduction. Every thought has perhaps
phosphoric source, and it is certain that
the most intellectual being contains the
most phosphorus. OF our food, fishes are
said to contain more Of this than does any
source Of sustenance and are recommend
ed for the food especially of brain
workers.

Boys WILL BE BoYs.-So thought the
occupants of Boston horse car, who
were listening to the story of mischiev-
Gus young lad who was telling an old
gentleman why he liked the new master
Of one of our schools. The master, he
said, was first-rate fellow, and then he
dismissed the scholars lately at $3.50
o'clock in the morning. "Why, what
did he do that for ?" asked the elderly
gentleman. After the youth had had n
good laugh, he managed to explain that
one Of the boys had put piece of ice I'M
der the thermometer and sent the mercury
down to forty, and the master thought
the room was not warm enough for the
pupils to remain in. And the way that
the old gentleman laughed and shook told
plainly enough that he had once been one
of that kind of boys.

DISTANCE.

The sails we see ON the ocean,
Are rs white rs white can be;
But never one in the harbor
As white us the sails at sea.
And the clouds that crown the MOUNTAINS
With the purple and gold delight,
Turn to cold, gray mist and vapors,
Or ever we reach the height.
The mountains wear crowns ofglory
Only when seen from atnr;
And the sails lose all their whiteness
Inside of the harbor bar.
Stately and fair is the vessel
That comes not near our beach
Stately and grand the mountain
Whose height we may nevor roach.

Still hold in thy magic veil
The glory of far off mountains,
The CLEAN of the far-oir sail

90 That while tho Republican party dis
claims any sympathy with indiscriminate war
upon associated capital, with n blind disre-
gard of its rights, ii is entirely Independent of
| all corporate power; it is opposed to all
schemes in State, county and city, whereby,
under the pretense of providing gas and water
to communities, or irrigation for farming, n
few men seek to enrich themselves by impos-
ing heavy burdens upon the people; it repels
all attempts of corporations to force into office,
through Republican conventions, men who
will guard their interests rather than those of
the public, and expects to be judged by its acts
and the character of its candidates, rather
than by the false accusations of its enemies,
who, after having had the executive power of
the State for tho past eight years, divided
equally between them, can present no better
claim for the public confidence than loud and
empty professions of horror at alleged corrup-
lions and profigacy in public affairs, which
they themselves have managed and controlled
RESOLVED, That we earnestly invite the CO.
operation of the great farming interest of the
State in the reduction of the cost of trans
portation, the reduction and equalization of
taxes, and the inauguration of II plan for
irrigation, by representatives Of their own So
lection in the Legislature.
RESOLVED, That confident of the substantial
agreement on National and State questions of
all who sustained the nation during the great
civil war; regretting the alterations among
Republicans which have been too apparent
during the past few years; DESTROYS of making
all becoming concessions to secure harmony,
we cordially invite all who are opposed to the
restoration of the Democratic party to power,
to forget the strifes of faction to disregard the
counsels of those who seek to continue I'M
seemly and unnecessary divisions, and keeping
in view tho overwhelming importance of the
approaching Presidential election, aid in re-
uniting the Republican party of the State, and
securing victory for the cause of Republican
ism and real reform.

THE AMERICAS CENrENNGAL CAST
IN THE SuADE.-The japanese have just
finished celebrating the 2,535th anniyer-
snry Of the Empire Of the Rising Sun in
grand style. Jimnu Teuno, the first
Emperor, wns the fifth in descent from
the Sun goddess, Ten Sho Din jim, and
the present Ml<ndo claims unbrokon de-
scent from him. The national celebration
was heightened in interest from the fact
that during the previous year Japan had
emerged so gloriously in success and
honor from the Formo.an affair.
Then an imperial Princess had been
born, thus preserving the line Of twenty
five centuries. Finally, the day marked
the seventh year Of tho restoration Of the
Mikado to ancient power after military
usurpalion Of go years, and the fact that
the country could now boast OF a true ma
tionality, united purpose, settled gov
ornment and amicable foreign relations.
To cap the climax Of their joy, the French
and English soldiers that had been sta
toned on japanese soil since 1868, wore
TO be removed Feb. -.
Even the Tycoon, from his exile ia
Shudzuol<a, comes forth to help on the
national joy and prosperity. For Keiki,
as the last Tycoon is called, though poll.
tically, the quondam head Of hoaly
usurpation, personally is an accomplished
and benevolent gentleman, who rejoices
in his country's welfare, and to prove it,,
has presented the public library at Toxic
1000 works, many Of them rare and
very valuable, and comprising many
thousand volumes.

YESTERDAY.

To those who can recall the pomp and COR
geous displays made by our citizen soldiery
on the Eighth Of January in the years before
the war, the silent streets and saddened
countenances of those who trod them yester-
day force upon the mind the marked contrast.
Although the anniversary was one peculiarly
dear to the people Of this city, so oppressed
and burdened are We now that little heed was
paid to it's arrival, and save here and there a
display Of bunting, no note Of it was taken.
1t is not that the victory is not still held in
dear recollection by our people, it is not that
that glorious victory is not still bright in
the memories of this community, but that so
grievous have been our wrongs, so many
our bitter trials, memory goes back
to the lighter spots in Louisiana's history
with feelings Of regret rather than Joy.
This is sad commentary on our times
When nation forgets its heroes, defaces its
monuments, and in the struggles of the pres
is forced to forego the celebration Of its past
victories, no greater sign of retrogradation
can be shown. We of Louisiana must
feel that all the rich triumphs of the past
were for naught, should the bondage we now
endure continue. From the great heart of
the American people must come, we feel,
q response to our appeals forjustice and right.

just after General Sheridan turned his bach
upon New Orleans as Military Commands il
1867, J. Madison Wells wrote SEARCHING
letter about him, which was ,published in the
papers of the day, and wrote one also to
Charles H. Gutenberg, District Attorney and
Acting Attorney General, in which occurred
the following scathing statements: p
We do not think the charge made:thus pub
icly by Wells was ever refuted, and while we
would not accept the statement OF the dis
graced chairman of the Returning Board
against any one, it is quite remarkable that
SO serious an allegation should, if false, have
been permitted to go uncontradicted. 81

of which, and desire to manipulate the

KELLOGG'S GANG.

Yesterday merninga reporter of the Bu11E-
TIN ingratiated himself into the good graces of
some of Kelloggs "Banditti." Naturally our
reporter touched upon the all-absorbing topic
Of politics, and though the defenders of the
de facto were reticent in expressing their in
most thoughts to representative of the
'White League organ it was very evident
from their nervous manner that they did not
feel as confident in their position as upon the
day when Grant and his bayonets interfered
in their behalf
The firm stand taken by the Peoples Legis-
hture strikes them aghast, and when in ses-
sion at the imperial halls, their eyes constantly
wander in the direction of the main door in
the faint hope that the Democrats will put in
an appearance. We do not credit the rumor
that if the Democratic seats in the Legislature
remain vacant much longer Kellogg viii take
measures to see them filed, neither do we
give credence to statements that some of the
Republican members will bolt from the main
body to join our people. However, we shall
see what we shall see

Nice Conduct on Sllipbeard.

An outrage, which seems to have few Iaxal-

him in the most shocking manner.
It is alleged that Douars was Knocked down
with coal-shovel; when sense. ess from blows,
he was thrown on the steam chest near the
boiler, where they allowed him to lie nearly
fifteen minutes, although it was SO hot that,
according to the testimony of the witnesses,

Douars was then let down again into tho

surgeon of the Leasing, DR.. sFriedelmeyer,
looked at the body, bled it without effect and
then examined it, and found that the man was
dead. The captain, instead of ordering an
investigation and putting the ,murdeeer' in

Of this city is called for this evening at

The object of this assemblage is to protest
against the foul outrage perpetrated upon the
people Of this State by the ISLANDERS contained
in the dispatches Of Gen. Sheridan. That
this sterling class Of our community will
