EfhaN Allen.

This centenary business has brought out
good many anecdotes of Allen, some OF
which were supposed to be planted beyond
resurrection. Here is one: Allen was in
church one Sunday with number of friends
listening to very high Calvanistic minis.
ter (exact stature not recorded). The text
chosen was, "Many shall strive to enter in,
but shall not be able" and the preacher
promised his remarks By observing that the
grace OF God was certainly sufficient to in.
clude one person out of ten. "Secondly"
disclosed the fact that not one in twenty
would attempt to avail himself of salvation.
At thirdly" it came out that but one in
fifty was really an object of Divine solicit
tude. "Fourthly" was announced. and the
estimate of the elect now reduced to greater
correctness, the sad conclusion was being
drawn that only one out of eighty-when
Allen seized his hat and evacuated the
pew, exclaiming, "Tm off, boys; anyone Of
you may take my chance. '-Rarper'sN Maya

Supreme Courts

For the first time Except during the " ar)
since the Supreme Court has been holding
it's sessions in Opelousas, We have to chron-
icle failure. The cause was the want of
quorum. the only justices present being
Judges WHY and Morgan. Both of those
gentlemen waited for one week in hopes
that one Of the others would arrive, so as
to get the required number to 60 to work,
but were at last compelled to leave so as to
be in Monroe in time for the opening of the
court at that place on the first Monday in
July.
1t has been great disappointment to the

The Rock Ahead.

We have asserted that the great majority
Of the Democratic party, including the
bulk OF the Western and Southern Demo.
Gratis, were in favor of rag money and all
that the name implies. We have said that
on the financial question the Democracy
was bound to split. Every day brings
confirmation of the truth of our assertions.
Hear the Charleston, South Carolina, Ne,cs,
Southern Democratic oracle and one of
the milder and more prudent sort, too:
1.-The Western Democrats and Southern
Democrats can not be drageoned into
changing their opinions. and if the New
York and New. England Democracy seeks
to thrust hard money platform down the
throats of the national convention, thew
will very probably cause a rupture or, at
least, lukewarmness which will be fatal
to the success of the canvass"
The Tilden hard money Democracy is a
mere fraction Of the national Democratic
party. Upon the shoulders of the Repub-
lican party will rest the responsibility of
preserving the integrity of the nation

The cause Of Hard Times.


II may be said tina: there il sucL thing
as commercial dyspepsia. Depression is
not simply epidemic; it sometimes becomes
chronic. When every body joins in a chorus
Of lizard times" it is likely to continue
hard times until some more cheerful spirit
starts up in different key. But this is
not sufficient explanation. A cause which
lies much deeper and is more baneful in
its influence. IS the practice of under.
selling. Competition is said to be the life OF
trade; but there are cases where it may
mere truthtully be called the death OF
trade. We DC not refer to that species Of
competition which contents itself with a
small rather than large profit, and serves to
actually stimulate trade by bringing COM
mod;ties within the purchasing power Of
tho many; nor to competition of the Cheap
John sort, which introduces poorer goods
in close imitation OF the better. and whose
seeming bargains" are in reality swindies.
But we mean that competition which re.
suits in cutting down the price of articles
below what it costs to manufacture them,
and which. leaves no reasonable margin of
profit for any one.
How such competition arises, and how it
operates are apparent enough to any who
will look at the condition OF trade since the
panic. As natural result Of the panic. all
sorts of goods fell in price, and no one knew
exactly when the bottom wonld be reached.
The trouble now is that the bottom was
really reached long age, and still prices
have continued TO fall, Merchants became
SO used to undertaking each other, and
cutting under regular prices with the
hope Of stimulating trade, or at least of
drawing custom to themselves. that they
continued the process beyond the point
where living profit could be made either
for themselves or the manufacturers. So
this extreme competition has continued.
Itself product of depression, it has served
to perpetuate aud strengthen the depres-
sion from which it sprang. No one. not
even the purchaser, is benefited by up. Justly
low prices. They serve to check INDUSTRY
and curtail manufacture, and SO operate,
TO the injury OF labor. They annihilate the
legitimate profits of industry and so work
the ruin of capital. And so all classes,
in this era of low prices, feel the bur-
den Of the hard times. What seems 10
be most needed now is readjustment OF
prices on scale which may admit Of mode.
rate profit TO manufacturer and dealer.
Any one who visits our retail stores must be
convinced that there is as large volume of
trade as ever. and it stands to reason that
the ordinary necessities of the people must
be supplied in dull times as well as in pros
porous. But the trouble is that in trade, as
now conducted, there is little or no money
to be made; and we shall not see brighter
times or more healthy state of business
until prices are on a basis to afford rea.
sOnable return tor the labor of production
and the expenses of characterization jour

OivertinG the School Funds.

The contest in Maryland over the effor,
Of the Roman Catholic denomination to
secure appropriations Of city funds for Sec
tartan schools is about to be drawn into the
courts through an Injunction to restrain the
payment of the appropriations already made
by the city councils. This is the same fight
as Cincinnati had year ago, where the
division OF the school fund was lost by but
one vote. The following fully explains the
nature Of the contest: "The opposition to
the appropriation of public money to sup.
port sectarian institutions having failed to
induce the city councils to omit such items
from The general appropriation bill, an in
junction against the payment Of them is to
be applied for in the court to day. Several
meetings of Protestant clergy and others
were held upon the subject, and commit
tee of prominent citizens appointed, who
engaged able lawyers to take the question
into court. The bill of injunction is very
long, and embraces all the benevolent and
reformatOry institutions not entirely under
the control Of the city or State. On the
part OF the Protestants generally there is
little opposition to cutting off the appro-
priations. but the Catholics, who have en-
joyed the lions share of the money SO de-
voted, are bitterly hostile, and propose to
contest it. having already been successful
with the city council"
To the mind of any intelligent man the
proposition is as clear as MONDAY to divide
the school appropriations up into sectarian
pieces, means that the whole fabric of our
common school system must fall because it
is not eectarian, and, therefore, will not
receive any portion Of the public school
fund. The public will watch with great
interest the result Of the contest in Mary.
land. If it succeeds there the attempt will
be made elsewhere, and strong effort will
be made to work public opinion up to it by
q soeclous cry OF injustice. Let US stand
by. our common school system at all haz

Glass as a Dress Fabric.

The suggestion that ladies' dresses ,nay
be made Of the newly discovered unbreak.
able and elastic glass has thrown the fashion
editors into state of profound agitation.
Intangible glass dresses. What grand
innovation! When thu new invention shall
have been fully applied to ladies' costumes,
the dear creatures may dress as warmly in
the winter as the laws OF health require.
and yet not be forced. as they now are, to
obscure with mutilings the fairest portions
OF their persons. PULL dresses will be
abolished, for the necessity of pulling them
back will not exist when even greater dis.
play can be secured without il. Colored
ladies will be dressed liz mourning the
year round. The principle of refraction
might be introduced IN the manufacture of
these glass dresses, supplying the short.
comings OF nature and modifying its exag-
gerations. Thus an unduly developed foot
might be dressed in q refracting glass shoe
which would give it the requisite ensmall.

full and round by means of a magnifying

some sort. Mistakes of nature throughout
the full extent of the feminine exterior
could be corrected in this simple but effect
i've manner. Dainty feet would glimmer
through transparent slippers, and where
now naught appears but unseemly folds
and wrinkles of dress, graceful curves and
outlines will everywhere come into
view. Modest women will not oppose the
change, for it will not be an exposure-it
will be simply q revelation-CAicogo Times.

Indian Tradition.

Here is the Yute account of the creation:
"ln the beginning the earth was covered
with mist. You could not see before you.
The Great Spirit took his bow and AFRO Tvs
and shot-shot SO well that he scattered the
mist. The earth became visible to him, but
there were no men upon it. Then he took
clay, fashioned . man, and set him to bake.
Man came out white; the fire had been
strong enough. The Great Spirit began his
work again, and this time the man came out
quite black; he had remained too long in the
oven. 1t was necessary to try third time.

Our Crops and the Drawbacks.
We copy the following from the Pi.tebu,

we copy the !0lloWiDg from The Iist6CUrg
Gazette:
The cotton crop OF the South promises
this year largo increase over that of last.
while the sugar crop of Louisiana. if no
mishap befall it, will be the largest ever
cut. There are millions OF acres through
some Of the best portions of the Southern
States, that lie idle from year to year fer
want IF both labor and capital. The ca.
pacity Of the country is scarcely computa-
BILE, and the future will demonstrate that
nothing approaching its possibilities has
ever been reached. With climate and soil
unsurpassed, water and fuel abundant, and
of the best character, we look forward 10
the time when the South will far outstrip
her former glory as an agricultural field,
inviting to all. Immigration is fast turning
from the more nOrtherly States and push.
ing southwark toward Tennessee, Texas
and Georgia, and with the settlement OF
all political disturbances, and the removal
OF all riOtOus elements from the country.
the South is bound to prosper beyond all
thought.
There is one element yet OF trouble which
must be removed wholly before a full de-
gree Of prosperity can be reached. There
are too many idle and shiftless white men,
sons of decayed families whose grandeur
and potency fled on the downfall Of the re.
belliOn and slavery, and these act as
serious bar on the rising generation, who
would work, if work were made respecta.
BILE. The old prejudice against the freed
man is dying out; and in few years the
feeling which took root at the close of the
war, Of starving out or otherwise killing off
the blacks, will be wholly eradicated. With
this ought to come the achievement of the
fullest hopes of the South. and its true
greatness as the producing region Of the
country par excellence,

The Whisky Cases.

New York Tribune. June 90, writes:
Major Bluford Wilson. solicitor OF the
treasury, returned tonight, after an alb.
sence Of over q month, spent in advising
with United States officers engaged in the
prosecution of whisky frauds. He has
visited all prominent places in the West
where illicit whisky operations were dis
covered. The evidence which the govern
ment had collected was laid before the
proper law officers and fully explained. All
the cases are in excellent shape. The only
delay in any quarter now arises from the
fact that most of the courts are il their
summer recess. In all principal cities the
chief members of the ring have been
discovered, and much valuable evil
dence has been secured. Instances
have been discovered where GOV.
eminent officials of prominence have been
holding very suspicious relations with those
they are supposed to be prosecuting, and
the public will soon know these gentlemen
by their removals.
Major Conrad McGrew. arrested here On
an indictment found in st. Louis, charging
him with the bribery of gauger to make
false returns, gave bonds for his appear
ance, General Burbridge. of Kentucky, bt.
