The "born editor" of ehe New York
Herald has allowed some one to cavort over
its columns without batter Of intelligence
in praise Of "American Girl" Stripped of
forced nongense, the praise of the magnifi-
cent animal will find an echo in the heart
OF every American turfman. As a whole,
the article will be likely to receive an en-
phatic disclaimer from every man who ever
curried horse. With newspaper men it
will be received and perhaps inserted as
"slush." Literary critics, remembering Sa.
tans encounter with Death at the gates of
hell, will object to Nv. e. Pale Horse" and
the shaky sorceress who kept the fatal key
might raise her hideous outcry against it,
They will also be curious to know where, in
the history Of GulIiver, Swift placed his
account Of the Houyhnhnms, and how the
death Of American Girl deprives that satire
''of much of it, sting and bitterness, As
the \gymnastic proprietor of the Herald,
who was born to edit it, approved of it, it
il legitimate to presume he knew as much
OF the subject as the author. AS generous
opponent of a yacht he thinks he can beat,
he valves his rights, an d confident his "sea-
manship' is superior, proposes a race on
that tack. Suppose he should extend ,he
same privilege to the public, and force them
to buy the product Of brains instead of the
pen work of men who are content to be
treated with less consideration than his
valet and footmanl Perhaps his genius is
comprehensive enough to include the guild
ing of newspaper in the same compass as
steering boat. And perhaps not.

The New York Tribune, with neatness
and dispatch, is doing fair share of work
for the honest redemption of governme N
pledges. Here is an example:
The national debt was incurred in the ef-
fort to save the life of the nation. II these
bonds had not been bought we would now
have no national existence. They could
never have been placed except under the
pledge that interest and principal would be
paid in the only currency recognized
throughout the world. The regularity with
which these obligations have been thus far
met, has enabled us to fund them at a lower
rate of interest. IT this miserable rasoality
and fraud of the repudiators had never
been heard of, our credit to-day would be as
good as that of any other country on earth,
and we could borrow, if desired, at the
lowest rate of interest. In short, every
convention which hampers with this ques-
tion of national honesty, every blatherskite
who makes q Carey or an Allen speech,
hurts in some degree the business standing
of this country, and makes it's paper less
valuable, besides committing q shameless
offense against law and honor, and against
the spirit Of the commandment which for
bids men to steal.

"a Little More Grnpe..,

The Thibodaux Sentinel of the eighth
gives the particulars OF meeting held at
that place, which is of thrilling interest to
the convention echemers. 1t says:
The mass meeting convened, pursuant to
a published call, at the Town Hall in this
place, On Saturday last, was a complete
success. A very respectable number OF onr
most substantial, intelligent and public
spirited citizens were in attendance. The
addresses delivered upon this occasion
were fOrcible and eloquent; the utmost har-
in the subjects discussed showed that, as
usual, the people of our parish are alive
to the political well being Of the State.
We sincerely trust that our sister parishes
may follow the example which Lafourche
has set, and that by reasonable, strong
and dignifel opposition 10 the convention
scheme on the part of the country parishes

contented individuals may yet be rendered

try buyers is especially called to their large
stock of common and knock-down furni-
ture, suitable for the country trade. They

call and examine their goods and then
price them. Prices on paper amount to
nothing. Look before you leap. Examine

The PIANO KING.-Mr. Philip Werlein
has long enjoyed an enviable reputation as
q dealer in pianos, organs and musical in
struments, founded upon the fact that he
keeps a large and magnificent stock, en-
bracing instruments from the best makers,
which he sells at very low prices and on the
most reasonable terms. BY keeping his ex-
penses low, Mr.. Werlein is enabled to make
great inducements to all who call on him.
He has also fine stock of second hand
pianos which he is selling very cheap.
