W. S. O'BRIEN, of San Francisco,
whose immense riches were SO suddenly
acquired in bonanza speculations, is
a son of Wetmore O'Brien, poor but
respectable citizen Of Minneapolis, MINI.
He arrived at the mines with but fifteen
cents in his pocket and worked as a
laborer, taking mining stock in payment
of wages in lieu Of money, which he
could not get. His fortune is estimated
at $250,000,O00. Young man, put fifteen
cents in your pocket and go West.
YOUNG man, if you are looking for a
wife, go to Marion county, Iowa. Ac-
cording to the Burlington HuOkeye
three rowdies lately insulted woman in
Pella, in that county, and the old Pella-
can girded up her loins, picked up a
dray-pin, and moved Immediately on
their works she scalped one, and
knocked the stuffing out of the other,
and hardly left whole bone in the third.
Young man, marry that woman and make
her start laundry you'll be taken care
of for life
OLIVER. JOHNSON, one of the witnesses
i'll the Beecher-Tilton case, is singular
sort Of a man. While holding the dis
tinctive views of the Universalists, the
Unitarians and the Spiritualists, he has
for several years been managing editor
Of an orthodox paper, first the hade-
pendem and then the Christian Uni0n
In the latter he has been the virtual
editor, Mr.. Beeclter being little more than
a tigre-head Johnson has been prac-
ticing gross hypocrisy, or else he regards
theological opinions with Indifference.
In arranging the committees of the
new United States Senate, the Green
vile statesman seems to have been al
most entirely overlooked. A. J. 3 name
figures only once in the entire list, be-
ing sandwiched between two obscure
Senators at the tail-end of an unimpor-
tant committee. This is probably owing
to the failure of Andy to turn up at
the Democratic caucus. His absence,
it seems, was owing to sickness, but at
the time it was reported and believed
that he would hold himself severely
aloof from all political gatherings hay
ing any semblance of caucus.

How A WATCH WAS LOST. One
evening last week, rs a gentleman was
about leaving the Boston Museum, he
stopped to put on his overshoes, and
while bending OVER felt q sudden pull at
his coat. Thinking nothing of it, he
passed out, putting Oh his overcoat at
the door. The next morning, on dress
ing, he found a gold watch hanging to
the bottom of his frock coat The watch
had evidently been caught by the chain
when he was putting on his overshoes,
and had been carried home in that way.
A paragraph in the newspapers reciting
the circumstances brought the owner Of
the watch to claim it. He supposed that
it had been stolen, as he felt the jerk
while he was leaving the museum, but
thought no more of it until he missed
his watch at home, late at night.

The latest advices from the Texas
border and the mining districts OF
Pennsylvania report every thing q uiet
and no immediate apprehensions of

The Ouachita Telegraph is but
poorly informed upon the political
complexion of the last Congressional
delegation from New Hampshire. The
delegation stood, two Democrats, one
Republican, consequently there was
not Democratic gain of one Con-
gresham at the recent election, as
announced by the Telegraph.

A POINT OVERLOOKED.

| a IAN OH0h4OOA1O.
The Lafourche Republican is down
on the Wheeler compromise plain be-
cause Senator Crosier is said to be
counted out by the award of the Con
gressional Committee. We agree with
the Republican in its assumption that
the Senator comes from district that
should, properly canvassed by COM
petent and reputable Republican can
didates, give heavy Republican ma
jority, and we are not prepared to
dispute its argument of the legality
and equity Of Mr.. Crosier's claims to
a seat, but it seems to US the mani
fest benefits to arise from an amicable
adjustment Of our political complica-
tons at this time should overweight
in the minds Of all good citizens and
true Republicans the consideration
for any one mans personal interest
OF advancement. There must be some
self-sacrifice on the part Of our repre-
sentatives whose seats are contested,
and we should be sorry to see any of
them place their ambitions in the way
Of All adjustment that. must prove of
incalculable advantage to our party
in the future. The men who will dis
play their devotion to the cause of
political freedom and equal rights
before the law by relinquishing posi-
tions of honor and trust to make COM
promise feasible and beneficial, will
not be forgotten by the Republican
party assisted aud strengthened by
their patriotic action. Does our con-
temporary Of the Republican gather
our meaningq Unless something can
be done to allay the rampant spirit of
antagonism existing between the OPP
posing parties in this State-to pro-
duce quiet, obedience to law and po-
litical federation, making fair, IN
trammeled election possible-we firm
" believe Louisiana is lost to the
Republican party and will hereafter
take her stand with Alabama, Geor-
gia, North Carolina and Texas in the
rank Of Democratic States. In the
face of the result of the last election,
where registered Republican ma
jority of twenty thousand was over
come by White League fraud, intimi-
aation and violence, can any one
doubt such contingency probable Z |
Does Senator Crosier, or any other
representative Republican, deem his
present continuance in office more
than the future success of
The party Z In our judgment, this
question now presents itself, and upon
he response given will depend in
great measure-lf not entirely-the
Welfare Of the Republican party in
his State.

a caucus Of the Republican men,
bers of the General Assembly will be
held at the State House on Monday,
for the consideration of matters rela-

The Conservative members have al
ready held several caucuses, and
when the session opens each side will
no doubt be well organized for united
action. Let US hope that the plans
of the opposing tactionssvill not clash
to an extent likely to erfere with
the accomplishment Of The proposed
adjustment for which the Assembly
has been convOkeQ,

The full text Of the civil rights bill
put up in the shape of original mat
ter, constitutes the leading article on
the editorial page of the last number
Of one of our rural exchanges-an Of
fetal journal. There is but one local
item in the paper, and thirds of
that has the appearance OF being
copied from the minutes of the parish
School Board. Come, come, brethren,
this style Of conducting newspapers
has grown distressiDgly monotonous.
If the Republican press of Louisiana
exercised that degree of influence
among the people which it might and
should do, our political campaigns
would be infinitely less riotous, Bit
ter and disastrous in results than has
been the case since 1870, and the
triumph Of our party would be almost
assured in each successive contest
where the issues are substantially the
same as now exist. The only way in
which this desirable influence can be
acquired lies in the material improve
ment Of those Republican journals
that are now mere advertising sheets
that spring into existence under the
fostering influences of official printing
contracts and disappear as suddenly
when this source of revenue is closed
or becomes Improbable. There are
few communities where a live news
paper can not be made in some de-
gree successful and self sustaining
without regard to official patronage,
and when this fact becomes generally
among the Republican
journalists of our State and it's Lesson
profted by, then will their press be-
come indeed g a power in the land"
Do not our brethren regard this as
"a contamination devoutly to be
wished 7" Which one of them, there
ore, will hesitate to do his share to-
ward bringing it about 2"

If West Baton Rouge parish ever
runs out Of weather, we fear the
spirit Of the Sugar Planter will be
nroken by the calamity. Some of the
spiciest and most elaborate editorials
OF this excellent paper are devoted to
the ever varying and inexhaustible
subject of weather, and scarcely an
issue comes to hand without at least
one or two articles on this theme. If
Old Probabilities ever needs an official
organ in this section of the country.

be selected.

one Of the most important items of
the proceedings, and so far as we are
able t., judge the selections have been
judicious and creditable. The Di-

in full harmony with their chief, the

active men, with their hearts i'm their
work, we may expect no falling off in
the future Of the good results which
have attended their labors in the past.
