almost an universally conceded fact
that it is not every one who under

other words, EVERY manic that voca-
ton in life for which nature and intel

have in Shreveport one man in par

keeps q model establishment which
he manages with the vigor and capa-
bility which naturally connmends
success. We refer to Mr.. John Cald-

Stables, on Texas Street, Shreveport.
His establishment is not only the
most extensive, but the most COM
plete in every respect-being better
equipped with vehicles of every kind
and thsvefy best ofstock, while the
facilities for taking care of stock and
supplying the demands of the travel
ing public are unsurpassed. Mr..
Caldwell takes commendable pride
in his business, and understands all

Abraham Jackson's Victims.

The Boston correspondent of the Spring
field Republican writes that journal as fol-
lows in reference to the exploits of Abra-
ham jackson. The writer says The
courts continue to pile up their processes
against the swinder Abraham jackson,
whose master-stroke in cheating was to
victimize so many OF the Boston banks.
Easy enough to pass off forged mortgage
on poor widow, or to pocket the yearly
payment ON a policy of life insurance,
which was to furnish family of children
with patrimony-but not 30 easy, one
would have said in advance, 10 take in the
Suffolk bank, the fremont bank, the bank
of North America, the Franklin savings
bank, and dozen other steady going old
institutions. Did their officers ever make
any inquiries about Jacksons honesty and
solvency, wonder, or did they take him
wholly on trust, glad to get the high inter-
est he paid on his notes, when he paid any
thing at all ? / suspect the latter, and that
the bank directors, hundred or
more, who trusted him, did so on
general principles, and not from any
knowledge of his affairs, such as they
should have had before lending fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars. l suppose the

"Grdnt the only man fit for the merit presi-
"dent, and no friend of the negro would
''think of anyone for second choice except
"Ben Butler" If all friends. of the me-
gro" should be Of Phillips way of thinking,
we apprehend that It would not take the
president very long time to find one of
those imperative" circumstances, but,
fortunately. the "friends OF the negro"
think otherwise, and that circumstance"
will not be found. In a comment on this
opinion of Phillips, an exchange sagely re-
marks: "Mr. Phillips wishes to have
"either General Grant or Gen. Butler for
"the next president In coupling these
"names IN this manner, zoe do not think he
"s1ocs a gerry high appreciation Of President
"Grant."
We may be permitted TO remark that here
is just where our contemporary and Wendell
Phillips differ. Wendell Phillips could not
express his own high appreciation of the
president any more forcibly than by
coupling these names in this manner"
and giving Butler the second, instead of
the first place. They, both Of them, pro-
TESS excessive friendship for the negro, and
TO convince mankind of the sincerity OF
their professions, they are willing to 60 at
any lengths. Constitutions, laws and the
rights of individual states are not allowed
to stand in their way. Returning boards
are defended, force bills advocated, "ban-
ditti" dispatches avowed, military inter-
| ference practiced, the overthrow of state
constitutions urged, Shepherd petted, Sim
mons, Spencer and Chandler endorsed, and
but we will not continue the parallel.
One point of difference, however, must be
noted. General Grant, on being forced to
it, aoW discuss the third term question,
although he says 1t is not, and cannot be-
fairy before the people but Butler, or
being asked his opinion, declines TO con.
slider it, because, as he says, he has ire.
''nounced the devil and all his works.
Wendell Phillips would have no doubt al
to the general to whom he should give the
palm, but if the American people SHOULD
be asked who was entitled to an apology
on account of this "high appreciation,
they would be in Crockett's quandary, ant
wouldn't know whether to apologize t.

Reform 'is working" and we extend
our congratulations to pensioners and claim
agents. Hereafter, by direction of the
commissioner of patents, all persons seek

treated respectfully" and decenily. Yes
terday, The commissioner issued the follow
ing order: every person asking Informal
ton relative TO the merits or status If
" any claim or matter pending before this
office, is entitled to a respectful reply.
The special attention of the chiefs of
=" division is therefore directed to the ne
''..cessity of carefully reviewing all let
I" tiers eminating from their respective di-
visions, to see that The same are written
" in plain and fair handwriting, without
authorizations, iuleilineatons, blots, or
@ erasures, official, respectful, and concise
e in language, and properly punctuGted"
This is ''retorm" in earnest, but what
must haye been the custom in that office,
heretofore, to call out such an order? No
more disrespectful replies Aud the clerks
must write plainly, not blot their paper ;
and, above all, must be respectful and
concise" and attend to their punctuation !!
Writing, spelling and grammar schools are
now in order, and ''manua of polite
ness" must be adopted. This is civil SER

forced, what becomes of the ward ard

are filled, what will senators and members
of congress do in order to pay off wire
pullers and other strikers?

WHICH

When Davy Crockett was member of
congress, it is told of him, that, in COM
pany with friend, he visited menagere
AS he was wandering around the tent, his
attention was arrested by a cage filled with
balloons, and he stopped and concentrated
his gaze on the occupants. AS he seemed
to be wrestling with an idea, his companion
asked of what he was thinking, to which
Davy replied: "Of the striking rcsem-
= blance between that ugliest looking ba-
" boon and Mr.. -" mentioning the
name of fellow member of congress. He
had just made the comparison, when the
honorable member alluded to put in an APP
pearance. and demanded an apology. Croc-
kett professed his readiness to make all due
apologies, and then, gancipg first at the
baboon and then at the congressman, ex-
claimed "But hang it, if know which TO
"apologize to- Whether the story is ac-
tually true, we cannot say but it has a
Crocketty sonnd and an air of probability,
and we are forcibly reminded of it IN read
ing what Wendell Phillips says relative to
the presidents third term letter, and the
comment of one of our contemporaries
thereon.
Phillips believes in third term, at least
so far as General Grant is concerned, and
says he "likes the presidents letter." pre-
sumably, as will appear from what he says,
because he thinks that the president is not
precluded, thereby, from becoming can
dldate and accepting denomination. He
seems to think that there is a "circum-
stance" rendering it ''imperatively necessa-
ry" tor him to accept, but he will find that
the American people are disposed to take
The president at his word, no matter what
he may mean, and that he is now out of
the way, and that the third term remains
only as "bug-bear' of the past. Phillips is
quoted as saying; she liked the presi-
"dent's letter, but nevertheless considers

Diamond Drills.

We are pleased to learn that the recent
decision in the suit brought in New York
by the American diamond drill company,
against the Sullivan machine company is
by no means likely to operate f. the prju
dice of the defendan, c,Inl any, or The
quarrymen, who, in good faith, have pur-
chased and are using the machines If the
Sullivan machine company, and which
they have found so useful and necessary in
the prosecution of their business.
The decision related to single element
of the drill head, viz. to diamonds so set
in the head. as to project outside the cir
conference or periphery of the head.
This method of setting the diamonds, the
plaintiffs claimed, was necessary for the
purpose of providing clearance or space
between the head and the wall of the hole
bored for the escape of the water and pull
verified stone. and therefore was an in
fringement of their patent rights, and by
this decision the Sullivan machine compa-
ny are restraiaed from using diamonds set
in this manner. But, it seems, however,
that the operation of the drills in the de-
PENDANTS machines are in no wise depend
ant upon this method OF. setting diamonds,
but they have discovered by actual and
careful tests which they have caused to be
made, that diamonds set in these drill
heads perfectly flush with the circumfer-
ence of the head, not only work with
equal speed and execution, but, in fact,
better results are attained by the new
method of setting than by the old method
in the uniformity of the holes bored, and
greater protection and strength, less ha-
biity to wear and breakage secured to the
diamonds.
This being the case, we are at loss to
see, what benefit results to the parties in
whose favor this decision is made. In the
production of marble in which our COM
munity is so largely interested, the utility
of these machines has been thoroughly
tried and proven, and while public as well
as private interests would be seriously eff
fected by the stoppage of the machines now
in use on our quarries, we are glad to say
that there Is no reasonable probability that
such contingency can arise.

of the ex-Empress Charlotte of Mexico.
Her physical health is good, but her men,
tai. condition is hopeless. She lives in con-
slant communication with imaginary be-
ings, and dislikes the presence of any liv-

in writing. She dresses herself without
permitting assistance, takes a fixed walk in

times draws and paints with decided taste.
She recognizes no visitors, not even her
brother, King Leopold, or the Queen. The
latter always accompanies the physician on
his monthly visit, when, in reply to his in
quiries MS to her health, the Empress cold
ly says she is well, and Immediately retires.
She has become stouter, and shows a ten
dency to corpulency, but at present it is
stated that this has emily increased her beau

The Newburyport Mines

At the meeting of the Essex institute,
held at Salem, Mass, on Thursday, Hon.
Alfred Osgood of Newburyport, well
know geologlst, spoke Of the Newbury-
port mines in very deprecatng manner,
stating that many manifestations of float
ore had been discovered, but no true veins.
He stated that he had been hooted at in
the streets for expressing his options and
had net been allowed opportunity to in
vestigatp the subject as he would wish, but
he sincerely believed that there was no
fissure vein, or ore would have long since
been discovered. The interest in the mines
he said, was abating, owing TO the fact
that the land was at present in the hands
of spectators. The latter he considered
were making great effort to keep up en-
thusiasm on the part of the people, while
in his honest opinion he thought they had
resorted to unfair means to deceive the
public by burying ore and then digging it
up, and announcing that new vein had
been discovered. He ridicued the cele-
bration at Newburyport on Wednesday, in
honor of the first cargo of ore being ship
ped from that city to New Jersey for
smelling, and characterized the same as
"worthless trash" and "iron pyrites, -
which he would advise the shippers on ar
rival at their destination to dispose Of as
proftably as possible, ard sell it if possible

State Atlas Of Vermont.

Messrs. II. w, Burgett & Co., of New
York, are now engaged in an enterprise of
far greater magnitude than anything of the
kind ever attempted in this state, which is
a typographical, historical and illustrated
atlas of the state of Vermont. When pub
lished, it will contain an illustrated topo-
graphical and historical atlas of Vermont.
1. Separate and complete maps on
large scale, of every county in the state,
showing wagon roads, railroads, mount
ans, lakes, streams, etc.
2. A separate map of each city and large
village, showing corporation and ward
boundaries, blocks, parks, cemeteries, etc,
etc.
3. A railroad map, showing railroads in
operation, with stations, etc.
A. very complete map Of the United
States and territories, prepared expressly
for this work.
D. A new copper plate engraving OF the
map of the world, in hemispheres, wherein
are shown all the countries and principal
cities of the earth.
g. An engraving of the state capital
building, with views OF noted scenery, to
which will be added, by special contract,
fine photographic views of farm scenes,
fine stock, residences, villas etc.
For the purpose of insuiing accuracy of
detail, an experienced corps of engineers,
draughtsmen and compers have been en-
gagged, and the plans will be twice revised
and corrected before publication. While
proper attention will be paid to making
the volume handsome one, and elegant in
style and manner of execution, yet the
chief aim of the publishers will be to en-
| Enly in IL guoh a, uplpl1pt nf in al i'm
as will make it of the greatest practical
value to the people of the state.
The whole to make a volume lexis, sub
stantialy bound with cloth sides and leather
back, aud embelished with a handsome
gilt title on front cover; altogether making
a neat, substantial and useful book of refer
ence.
As will be seen by the above prospectus,
the map matter is of such nature as to be
of general interest and importance. The
historical portion will be, IN brief, reminis-
cences Of the early settlers and settlements.
The view department is certainly worthy
of notice and consideration, and as We are
informed, is conducted in such manner
as cannot fail to give entire satisfaction 10
the people. The publishers have COM
petent artists whose duties are to prepare
sketches to the approval of the interested
parties, thus enabling people to have views
made of their residences, manufactures,
farms, stock, etc., that they could moi
have done in any other way also, to OBJ
tain extra views for their own use in ad
dilion to those published in the atlas.
We have examined the work as publish
ed in other states and find it volume OF
great value and Importance. Its plan i.
different from any work that has hereto
fore been issued relative to Nermsnt, it,
industries, and public buildings arranged
by counties. The illustrations of the build
ings of our own town will commend it Il
its citizens. 1t is well worth the consid
Grafton and examination of our readers.
