Kissing in China.

It is a singular fact that the custom OF kiss.
ing is altogether unknown liz China. The
Chinese indeed, have no word expressin G
love as we understand the passion. An
American navy officer voyaging China-wards
narrates an amusing experience OF the ignor-
ance OF Chinese maidens of the science Of
kissing. Wishing to complete a conquest he
had made OF a young me, jim beautiful LADY,
he invited her-using the English words to
give him kiss Finding her comprehension
of his request somewhat obscure, he suited
the action to the word and took a delicious
kiss.
The girl ran away into another room, thor
oughly alarmed, exclaiming, ''Terribls man.
eater; | shall be devoured, but in moment
finding herself uninjured by the salute, she
returned to his side, saying: 81 would learn
more OF your strange rite. Ke-e-ees me"
He knew it wasn't fright" but he Kept on
instructing her in the rite of "ke-e-es me :"
until she knew how to do it like native
Yankee girl and after all that she suggested
a second course by remarking, "Ke-e-es me
some more, seen jine Mee-,ee-kee" (Anglice-
American). and the lesson went on until her
voice rudely awakened them from
their delicious dream.

The nCity OF Ea;,S.N

Mr.. Frederick A. johnson has addressed a
letter to the ST. Louis Trade Journal, warmly
indorsing the opinion that great city is sure
to spriog up il the Blhze at the head of
Eads' jet.les, and gives the following as some
OF the reasons why this city will be a neces-
sity:
The very building Of the jetties Will give
employment to numerous people of all
classes, from laborers up. Saloons, board
ing houses, billiard rooms, stores, and
many other classes Of business in small
way, will form the nucleus OF {. city, and,
upon the completion of the l.bors
of Captain Elds, warehouses will be
erected, and elevators, and ships will dis
charge and load at the new city, rather than
stand the outrageous charges incidental to as
cending the river to New Orleans This
would also necesstats Custom-Houss and
other public Offices 9. this contemplated city.
II we look at the following Items of expense
on a vessel OF ll15 tons from the gulf to New
Orleans and back, we may depend upon it
she WILL when possible, make the jetty or
city thereat the termination Of her voyage,
thereby making total saving OF some items
herein mentioned, and possibly etfecting re-
duction in others:
Tonnage dues, 1895 70 outward and inward
pilotage, SILT; levee dues, 1902 s.; outward
and inward towage, S713 30; COMPRISING bill
on 1861 bales cotton at New Orleans, S1,724
65, or IS cents per bale; and the stevedore or
stowage bill, S2,45O 81. The foregoing are
taken from late account current, while, as
appears from an authentic memoranda from
the house OF VIM. Creevy, one of the Oldest
and most reliable Of our New Orleans mer-
chants, the regular rate of towage is 81 per
ton. pilo!age, So 50 and 81 so per foot, &C.
cording to the draught OF vessels vessels OF
the greatest draught paying the excessive
rate.
All who feel disposed to laugh at the pro-
position to build the 'City Of Eads" have the
unqualified permission of the Democrat to do
so. But all such are begged to remember
that ''thcse laugh best who laugh last"
The city Of New Orleans boasts very justly
of the salubriy Of the magnificent ''Gulf
breeze" The City Of Eads will be located on
the Threshold Of this gulf, while New Or
leans is one hundred and twenty miles in
land. New Orleans is surrounded by swamps,
il fact is swamp itself. The City of Eads
will be built upon the firm land of South
Pass, free from tho mala1ious influences of
swamps. It will have broad and beautiful
streets, paved with the shells OF the gulf and
shaded by the magnificent magnolia and SUI
perb oleander. rs grade will be established
sufficiently high to insure good drainage,
and there is positively no reason why it may
not be made one Of the most attractive cities
Of the world. Those laugh best vino laugh
last.

Happy Every Day.

Sidney Smith cut the following from a
newspaper and preserved it for himself ::
when you rise in the morning form the res
olution to mike the day a happy one to e
fellow creature. 1t is easily done; left off
garment to the man who needs it; kind
word to the sor-o.ful; an encouraging express
sion to the striving tribes in themselves as
light as air-will do at least for the twenty
four hours. Aud if you are young. depend
upon it it will tell YOU when yon are old; and
if you are old rest assured it will send you
gently and happily down the stream Of time
to eternity BY the mos. simple arithme:ical
sum. look at the result. Ii you send one
person away happily through the day, that is
$50 in the course e 3 year. Ard suppose
you live forty years only after you commence
that course Of medicine, you have made

The Violet as a Bonapartist Emblem.

The Sport, speaking Of this flower as the
symbol Of one OF the political parties in
France, narrates the following: "The adop-
ton Of the emblem dates from the first years
Of the restoration, and was due to an inspira-
ton of Mile Mars, the celebrated actress OF
the Theatre-Francais. She was Bonapartist,
and did not disguise her opinions. SO that
shortly before the hundred days, while play
ing in new piece, she appeared with bou-
quet Of those flowers in her bosom. The in
cident caused great excitement in Consequence
OF the recollection attached to the violet,
which was in season when Napoleon returned
from Eba, at the end of March, and the popu-
lation of Paris at once associated the flower in
the homage with which they welcomed the
return Of the exile. The day after the arrival
of the Emperor in Paris every button hole
was decked with it, and ladies' wore it in their
wristbands and in their bonnets. That cir
cumstanee was the starting point of the po-
litical meaning OF the violet, but the bold
manifestation OF Mile. Mars fixed the meaning
of the symbol

REPEALs AND RETRENOEMENT.

When valuable property is burning the frs

ship il sinking the first thing to do is to stol

care is 10 bring them back. Men do not re

Extravaganza is consuming the money Of thu
people and the first thing to do is to stor
the consUmption when the combustion is
checked it will be in order to repair, to con
trlye p-eventiyes and to insure the public
welfare against future disasters and damages.
Tho General Assembly has occasion to meet
the emergency with ungloved hands. The
leakage ana stealage should be stopped at
once. The doors Of the treasury should be
locked and watched The laws that shelter
scounGgals and pecUlatocs should berepealed.
Better an i.l:errcgnum in oil executive offices,
in all courts and in all State affairs than
leave wic..ei statutes in force. If a law
ID bad in part it is far better
10 repeal the entire law than TO suffer the
nuisance to remain. Who're amp aprOp.ia-
ton i, tainted with fraud or of doubtful pro-
pr.e.y in many of its larger items, it is bet
ter 10 sweep away the whole bill than to toll
crate mass of swindiing and extravaganza.
Where tho city has been toilins under the
heavy load imposed by an unjust law it is
best to sweep away the bad law before stop
ping to inquire what law should be substi-
tu.cd.
TIE appropriation bills Of this and all the
Legislatures OF the past seven years should
be carefully reviewed to detect waste, excess
and misapplication Of the peoples money.
The wicked expenditures should be traced to
the statutes authorizing them, and these
statutes should be simultaneously wiped out.
Inconvenience may result, but they will be
.sfies in comparison with the resulting good,
besides being subjects for consideration when
a regular session shall afford ample time.
Nine tenths of all the statutes of Lou
isiaDa might be wholly blotted out
and wholly obliterated from the records
and memory of courts and people
without dong less injury than the excess of
ono-half of one per cent in State tax for sim
gle year now infiicts. A bonfire of all the
laws Of the State except the civil code, the
criminal code, and very few statutes would
do more good than hurt. The process of
prompt destruction Of the old which is found
defective and pernicious to be followed by an
entire renovation at future day, is far better
tAan any process Of tinkering and patching
can be.
This state has been affl icted with legislation
essentially defective from excess, even if it
had all been the result OF honest endeavors to
seive and benefit the people. In quack
s.atosmanship statutes are the panacea for all
pabi.. and private ills and ailments. Il
