3. II. ARRIVES.

No loud-mouthed artillery awakened the
echoes of our city, no blare of trumpets
fell upon the listening ear, as the august
would-be Judge r. Fl. Shannon put his foot
once more upon this adopted vale of his.
Majestic and proud, his frame swelled in ex-
ultation. as he passed the Custom House, and
looked into the windows where Durell once
reigned. There was twinkle in his eye as
he saw the United States District Courtroom,
and he nervously clutched at letter of in
dorsement he held in his hand.
Bootblacks failed to recognize in him the
coming judge, and in an ordinary tone asked,
"Shine, sir you need it." R. H. visited
the several offices in the Custom House Sat-
urday morning, and pronounced everything
lovely and his genals anser hanging very high.
There was something of the elastic in his
step as he walked through the corridors. He
showed all over he felt he was the coming
man. Apple girls fed from him, and hangers
on thought it was Fish, Delano, or somebody
else except r. H.

The cure is very simple. 1t consists it eat

four pounds of the fruit day just at first, the
quantity being gradually increased to eight,

The Seyres Vases.

What is the peculiar spell and fascination,
it is asked with amazement, which old china
exercises upon many persons who are by no
means deficient either in intelligence or COM
mon sense? At present time there seems
to be q perfect mania for collecting china
which has any stamp of antiquity upon it;
and not only fashionable society, but even the
sober good sense of the middle classes ap-
pears to have caught the infection; in fact, the
prices gwen at auction rooms for any rare
specimens are really so astounding and unpre-
cedented that outsiders stand by with uplifled
hands and eyebrows of amaZement, while
10000, for example, is being given for a couple
OF vases, which are to be put away in the col
lector's cabinet, and shrouded from the COM
mon gaze thenceforth like the beauties of an
G.ienta lhareg.
This is, o :cou7se On extremely CLANCY
price for old china; but it was given last year
for pair of Sevres vases at Christie's. Two
nOblemen-or their agents ra.her-were bid
ding against each other, and the price was
run up to $4,000, which, IN twenty eight
years, it must be remembered, at compound
interest, is equivalent to s24,O00. It will be
curious to trace the history of these vases in
the year of grace 1902. if they are in existence
then.
story is current that one Of the persons
to whom they formerly belonged was COM
pletely thrown eff his balance by the unpre-
cedented price given for them. He was heard
exclaimipg: "Am / alive, or am | dead
Pinch me that | may know whether l am in
my senses or not I bought them for e7O,
aud sold them for $500; and now, gracious
heavens l have been done out of a fortune "

Our opponents are interested in the adop-
ton of the late census, so-called, and will
eagerly and persistently contend that it be
made the basis of apportionment. They
will hardly dream, however, of attempt
ing to compel Conservative members to swai-
low it as it is with all its monstrous
errors and deformities 1t will be bone OF
contention, and discussions upon it are liable
to consume large portion of the coming ses-
sion. Yet this need not occur. 1t will be
easy to designate the parishes and represent
alive districts in which there seems to be an
unfair, incomplete or fraudulent enumeration,
and in any such case the period of thirty days
will be more than sufficient to ascertain the
true population.
The idea that the wheels of legislation are
to be blocked until the errors in the census
are corrected is, in our opinion, without
foundation, and need cause no anxiety.

At length the long-delayed attack was made
One enormous saurian, which had crawled up
to it's full length upon the small island, sud-
denly swung its huge tail around like club,
striking Eben Pryme's legs with such force
as to knock him down. In the twinkling of
an eve, half dozen others had dared for
ward, clutching at his arms end legs with
their terrible jaws. There was a brief
riars, two or three agonized shreks rent the
air, and then all that remained of Eben Pryme
was dragged into the water, there to be fought
over, torn to pieces, and devoured.
In conclusion we would state that every
word of the above narrative is obviously and
strictly correct and truthful In 1857. the
Legislature Of Louisiana appropriated $4,000
to erect monument to Eben Pryme upon the
island where it now stands, and is visited
every All Saints Day by thousands of citizens,
who decorate it with the choicest flowers and
immortelles.
Dan Cornell escaped, but was pursued and
captured at Little Rock by the White League
two months afterwards. He was brought to
the city, and was burned at the stake in Lafa-
yette Square, the Rev. Dr. Smith conducting
the funeral services For certain weighty
reasons this affair has always been kept secret,
but now that it is "out," we, in common with
all our citizens, feel greatly relieved.
The narrator of the above authentic story
is, no doubt, crammed full of just such re-
markable "reminiscences concerning which
the people hereabouts live in the densest
ignorance, and we must all await in breath

will prove, beyond doubt, that the voudou's

A SUGGESTION ON THE CURRENCY
QUESTION.

It has generally been conceded that the in.
PRODUCTION of the money question into the
campaigns lately contested in the various
States as an issue. did not meet with the en-.
tire approval Of the most eminent party lead
ers. Before the elections were held it was
deemed almos. unwarrantable 10 subject the
currency question to even partial decision,
by making it plank in the platform Of either
party and the result Of It's introduction has
been to deprive both parties of the means
whereby they could reasonably compute their
proper strength in the approaching national
campaign.
Men really opposed to the principles OF the
Republican party voted with that party in
some of the States simply to give expression
to their sentiments in relation to the financial
questions agitated; while others who had
hitherto been staunch members of the Repub-
lican party found it better suited to their
judgments to cast their votes with their
whilom opponents. The real question of party
strength is still left for the national election
to develop. 1t has been suggested by some
of our contemporaries that as the financial
question is one within the power of Congress
to determine, it would be well for the mem
beers of Congress to take its settlement into
their own hands during the coming session, and
before the next election comes the people will
probably have had ample time to test by ex-
perience the policy adopted; and so be prac-
tically advised as to the relative merits OF the
ideas advanced in reference thereto. Instead
of being question of conjecture, it might be
reduced to one of actual experience. The
question of what good or evil might result from
the adoption of one or the other side Of the
question, would then be changed to what good
or evil has resulted from the practical work
ing of the one plan suggested.
In this way the people would be better able
to make up satisfactory judgment on the
currency question, or else ignore it entirely
and make the contest one truly based on the
essential principles OF the two great parties.
The matter is one susceptible of speedy
settlement and we commend it to the wisdom
and consideration of the Congress soon to
assemble.

There were l349 votes polled which, al 25 cents each, netted the snug little sum of S53725 On actual count the money fell short few dollars, but not enough to affect the result of the Elec- tion.

The intense interest taken in the Election showed that they each had host of friends Many voted a while on one side and then on the other because they liked them both Just before the polls closed it began to get pret- ty warm, and in another hour the whole town might have been bankrapted. 220 votes, costing S55 was the highest number cast at once just as the Board declared the Election over Mayor Luke was lnspec tor and Jesse Jackson and Joe Knott were Judges of the Election After a fair and impartial count Miss Viola Cook was de. clared duly elected Queen of May.
