What did the Conservative mem
bers of the House expect to make by
SO foolish a proceeding as unscating
Messrs. Floyd, Martinez, Rochon and
Reichard? If they expected to make
votes enough to elect United States
Senator Oh Joint ballot next fall aud
thus defeat the just claim Of Senator
Pinchback, they will only have their
pains. Aside from the fact that they
clearly violated the plain terms Of the
adjustment, they entirely ignored the
fact that Senator Anthony's resolution
recognized the legality Of the present
State government before the terms of
the adjustment were agreed upon,
and. of course, thus legalized the
claim Of Senator Pimhhack, admit
ting there was any doubt Of it. On
the opening of the session in Dccem
Der next, he will take his seat with
ont opposition, excepting, perhaps,
that arising from the Democratic Sen
:.tors. Having violated the comrio-
mise rendered III good faith hy IL Re-
publican majority. what confidence
can he placed in their protcstations
"f fair play hereafter! And what
have they made by their silly be-
havior? They have nude them
selves ridiculous in the eyes Of the
people of the whole country, and that
is all that can be s:.id.-Sugar Plan
ter.

was the adjustment accepted by our
Republican friends, than it became
manifest that a bond Of common in
terest in the welfare Of our State
would lissipate all strife and conten-
ton. .......
1t is indeed a source Of unspe:lkab;o
pleasure to me to testify TO the eager
ness displayed by Democrats and Re
publicans to pass such measures Ut
reform AS would put our State ON the
highway to peace aud prosperity.
LII the name Of the State OF Louis
lana l thank you for the good you
have done. AS you return to Your
respective homes, your constituents
will welcome you with the cheering
words, Well done, good and faith
full servants" and what is more than
the appreciation Of others, Il still small
voice within your breast will ever
whisper, ''Thou hastdone thy duty"
This is an epoch in the history vi
Louisiana which must inaugurate IN
era vi good feeling among all citizens,
white aud black, Democrats aud Re-
pubiicans.
Once more we will see capital
pouring into our State, confidence re-
stored and our agricultural and man
utacturing interest developed. No
one will now gainsay that the adjust
ment has been proved IL success, fruit
full in good results to the city Of New
Orleans and to the State of Louisiana.
Wishing you IL happy return to
your families, permit me again to
thank you for the very tlattering res
olution You have passed i'll my be-
half. s. -N TT -..-

Noble Wife.

During the revolution in Poland,
which followed the revolution Of
Thaddeus Kosciusco, many Of the
truest and best of the sons Of that i'll,
fated country were forced to fee for
their lives, forsaking home and
friends. One of those who had been
most eager for the liberty of Poland,
and most bitter in the enmity against
Russia and Prussia, was Michael So,
bieski, whose ancestor had been a
king a hundred and fifty years be,
fore.
sobeski had two sons in tie patri-
OF ranks, and father and sons had
been of those who persisted in what
the Russians pleased to term rebel,
lion, and price had been set upon
their heads.
The Archduke, Constantine, was
eager to apprehend Michael sobeski,
and learned that the wife of the Po-
lish hero was at home in Cracow, and
he waited upon her.
Madam he said, speaking polite,
ly, for the lady was beautiful and
queenly, a think you know where
your husband and sons are hiding"
~ know, sir"
"If you will tell me where your
husband is your sons shall bepardon,
ed"
@And shall be sate?"
"Yes, madam. I swear it. Tell
me where your husband is concealed.
and both you and your sons shall be
unframed.
"Then sir" answered the noble
woman, rising with a dignity sublime,
and laying her hand upon herbosom,
"he lies concealed herein the heart
of his wife-and you will have to
tear this heart out to find him"
Tyrant as he was, the Archduke
admired the answer, and the spirit
which had inspired it, and deeming
the good viii of such a woman worth
securing, he forthwith published a
pardon of the father and sons.

Sensible Words about Adyertfs

The following is from the financial
article Of the New Orleans Pieaynne;
aThe people who sit nervOusly in
theircounting,houses, rbebind their
goods, waiting for customers to take
them by storm, and making no efforts
to let the world know the bargains
they have to offer, viii find the seas
on unpropitious. Many of those
who have spent large sums in hiring
drummers and paying other we'll
known appliances of trade, have ef-
fected large sales, but swallowed up
too large share of the receipts in
such enormous attendant expenses,
The best remuneration has been
found by those who have returned to
more legitimate old fashioned meth
eds of pushing their business. We
say it not simply because We are IN
terested in this line of expenditure,
but, as our best advice to all who
wish to be enterprising and secure q
larger custom, there is nothing now
so effective to this end as judicious
advertising. A little advertisement
may be like a gentle touch of the
whip to poor Dobbin's horse, "a mer-
cy thrown away" but liberal outlay
is almost certain to bring in a large
return, and this will last even be-
yond the current season. We do
not believe thatany one whohas val
liable service or desirable property to
offer can fail of reaping rich har-
vest by continuous advertising on a
large scale.

An iGectionate Brother.

A couple Of enterprising men, do.
ing the clothing business in Atlanta.
are interviewed by a customer in
search Of 4 coat. The senior mem,
Der of the firm handles the new com,
or, and soon has "a first-class ft." In
answer to the price, the response is
Eighteen dollars"
"Well, sir, l like your coat very
much, but don't like the price"
"Well, mine trent, re price is moth,
ing so you like re coat. Well let YOU
take EN- at fifteen dollars"
The customer still complains Of the
price, saying that fifteen dollars was
too much. This was too heavy fol-
the dealer, so, taking his customer to
the extreme end of the store, and
drawing him into dark corner,
Whispered in his ear; "NIine trent,
let you have zat-cGat for twelve dol.
lars and a-half."
"Well sir" said the customer, q
like your coat very much and am
satisfied with the price, yet l would
like to know why this mysterious
performance"
"Vell, mine trent, you see dot lcetlc
man dare? Hc was mine broder.-
He got &c heart disease, and so hell
me gracious, if he was to hear me tell
YOU | take twelve dollars and a-hali
for zat coathc drop dedm his t:ack.

The Harm The Innocent Old Lady
Did.

She lives down on Baker street,
and she has daughter about eighteen
years old. The old lady retains all
her simplicity and innocence, and
she doesn't go two cents on style.
The other evening when splendid
catch" called to escort the daughter
to the opera, the mother wouldn't
take the hint TO keep still, and
wouldn't help carry out the daugh-
ter's idea that they had wealth.
While helping her daughter to get
ready she said:
"Nlary, are You going to wear the
shoes with one heel of, or the pair
with holes in emp"
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the
mother inquired: care you going to
wear that dollar gold chain and that
washed lockct, or will you wear the
diamond father bought al The hard
ware storc?'
Mary winked at her and the young
man blushed, and the old lady went
on: care YOU going to borrow Mrs.
Browns shawl, or will You wear
mine?'
Mary hustled about the room, and
the mother said: 'fBe careful about
your dress, Mary. You know its
the only one you've got, andyou can't
have another until the mortgage on
this place is lifted
Mary remarked to her escort that
it promised to be 4 beautiful evening,
and, as she buttoned her glove, her
mothcrasked: Chose are Mrs. Hardys
gloves, amt they! She's been 4 seod
neighbor to US, and l don't know how
you'd manage to 50 any where if she
didn't live near us"
Mary was hurrying to get out Of
the room when her mother raisedhcr
voice once more and asked: did you
run into Mrs. Jewett's and borrow
her bracelet and fan? Yes, l see you
did. Well, now, you look real stylish,
and l hope you'll have good time"
Mary sits by her window in the
pale moonlight, and signs for the
splendid young man to come and
beau her around some more, but he
hasn't been seen up that way since
that night. The old lady, too, says
that he seemed like 4 nice young
man. and she hopes he hasn't been
killed BY the street cars.

Every man has in his mind at
times the ideal OF what he should be,
but is not. This ideal may be high
and complete, or it may be quite low
and insufficient; yet in all men that
really seek to improve, it is better
than the actual character; perhaps
one is so satisfied with himself that
he never wishes to be wiser, better
and more holy.
