Mr.. Louis Lefort, our efficient SD
pervisor of Registration, played lit
tie joke on his friends Monday evening
by quietly and surreptitionsIy getting
married. The affair was a genuine
surprise to everybody excepting the
contracting parties and to Judge
Maher, who performed the interesting
ceremony. The lady was Miss Eliza
beth Torrance. L0uis skipped off to
New River bright and early Monday
morning to attend to his official du-
ties, but his friends were determined
to get even with him, and when he
returned home last night they gave
him rousing chalivari, which will
be continued at intervals until the
usual liquid peace offering is made by
the happy groom.

Last Tuesday evening this town
and parish We're visited by heavy
storm of wind and rain, accompanied
by considerable hail, some of the
.hailstones being the size of common
marbles. Serions injury to cane and
cotton resulted at various points and
many fences and trees were pros
trated. On several plantations the
cane was blown down, and in some
instances the leaves were split into
ribbons. We have not received infor-
nation warranting an estimate Of the
extent of the damage inflicted. In
Donaldsonville fences were pros
trated on every hand, and tree at
the river ferry landing, another in
front of Loeb's store, and still another
III trout of the residence of Mr.. C.. J.
Bonlanger, were uprooted or broken
by the violence of the wind. The
small brick addition to the Magnolia
House, on Attakapas street, was
blown down, and Brands saw-mill
half mile below town was nnroofed.
The storm lasted scarcely more than
an hour and before night the sky was
clear and the sun shone with renewed
brilliancy.

Music as the Centennial.

The Centennial has brought TO Phil
adelphia plenty of music. There are
half a dozen summer gardens, where
good music is given nightly by good
orchestras. The number was increased
on Monday by the opening Of one more
where M. Jaques Offenbach vhirls his
baton at the head of over sixty psrfor-
mers. This new concert garden has
sprung up a. il by magic, the immense
building, covering half block, and
erected in the most substantial way, at
a cost OF Sl25, 900, having been compile
ted inside Of twenty days. The garden
has accommodations for over 5000 vis-
itors, aud promises to. be. one OF the
most popular, as it is one of the hand
soonest, amusement resorts on the con-
tinent. The grounds are artisticaliy
laid out with grayeied walks, winding
through beds Of flowers, with two foun-
tains IN play bedside the music stand,
which is centrally located with room
for an orshestra of one hundred per-
formers. At the east end is a wild
scene, over which an immense waterfall
pours, its waters illuminated by color
ed lights. The auditorium consists OF q
wide balcony on the north. south and
west sides of the garden, with over IF
ty private boxes comfortably arranged
for four persons each. The building is
lighted by thousands of many-colored
burners and calcium lights. Mr.. The
odore Thomas has likewise leased the
concerehall and gardens in which he
has hitherto given his performances,
and will continue them under his own
management during the season.

Drinking water.

DIR. Hall was opposed to the immod-
erete drinking of ~eter- He says'
The longer ono puts of drinking wa
ter in the morning, especially in the
summer, the less no will require during
the day. II much is drank during the
forenoon the thirst often increases, and
a very unpleasant fullness il obscrved
in addition TO n metallic tasto in the
mouth. The less man drinks the
better for him, beyond a moderate
amount. The moro water n man
drinks tho more strength he has 10 ex-
pend in getting rid of il, for all the
fluid taken into the system must be
carried ont; and there is little nonrish-
ment in tea, coffee, beer, and tho like;
moro strength is expended in carrying
them out Of the system than they inn
part TO il. The more n nan dripks,
the more he must perspire, either 10y
the lung or through the skin; the more
he perspires tho more carbon goes from
the system; but carbon is necessary
for nutrition, hence the less n man is
nourished the less strength he has.
Drinking water largely diminishes the
strength in two ways, and yet many
are under the impression that the more
water swallowed the more thoroughly
is the system "washed ont" Thus the
less we drink at meals the better for us.
IL the amount were limited TO single
cup OF hot tea or hot milk and water at
each meal, an immeasurable good
would result TO all. Many persons
have fallen into the practice of drink
ing several glasses OF water, or several
cups OF hot tea of coffee at meals, out
Of mere habit; all such will be greatly
benefited by breaking IL mp at once, 1t
may be very well to drink little at
each meal, and, perbaps, it will be
found that in all cases it is much bet
ter TO take single cup of hot tea at
each meal than glass Of cold water,
however pure.

7 The rapidity with which the Japanese
arc assimilnting the habits aud science
of the West ~ one Of the greatest mar
vels OF the ago. Civilization, until
now, has always taken the opposite
course TO that of the sun, and change
going on in these far eastern islauds is
not mere external imitation, but an alb
solnte internal transformation. A few
years ago an Imperial College OF Engi-
neering was established in the princi-
pal Island, with the view of educating
native engineers for the Department
OF Public Works. Admission is obtain
ed by competitive examination. the
course OF instruction is very complete.
and the college is at present under tho
management Of English professors, the
English language having apparently
bean adopted as the scientific tongue.
In connection with this institution
there are well-fttcd laboratories and
workshops of various kinds. Tho
special courses are civil. and mechsni-
cal engineering, telegraphy, architec-

which L. the sectional Party,

II is early career the Republican
was uniustly stigmatized as a sectional
party. This was the result of it's de-
ciaroti iutoutiou 90 snniu.aia the priuoi-
Piles of the Declaration OF lndepend-
ence; TO adhere to the doctrines OF the
founders OF the Republic, and TO arrest
the naturalization Of African slavery.
But il has no longer to refute the
charge of sectionalism. 1t may be in
teresting to note its rapid growth and
recognition as a national party. In
1860 il polled in five of the fifteen
slave States, Delaware, Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Cincluding what is now West Yir-
ginia), Kentucky and Missouri, only
20, 439 votes, and IL, OBS OF these, near
ly two-thirls of the whole, were cast in
Missouri alone. The ten remaining
slave States gave not single vote to
Mr.. Lincoln.
In 1884 IL secured the electoral vote
Of Maryland, West Virginia, Missouri
aud Tennessee, though the vote of the
latter State was not counted by Con-
gress.
In 1872 the Democratic party be-
came the sectional" one, carrying on
" the old slave States Of Missouri.
Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Geor-
gia, aud Texns, giving Mr.. Greeley
thirty-six electors, while General
Grant, supported by all sections. re-
ceived three hundred electoral votes.
At our late convention il was source
of satisfaction. an omen of coming sue
cess, to sec every State represented
North, South, East, aud West sending
full delegations, and with a unanimity
rarely equaled, all vieing with each
other in their hearty approval Of the
work of the convention, the platform
and the nominees.
Republican success means nationa-
unity. reform and progress. Delnol
cratic success would mean revival OF
sectional issues, the regulation of the
whole financial question to chaos and
uncertainty. and the reinstatement of
q party which for six months past, has
been engaged in demonstrating its ut
ter unfitness and incapacity for the re-
sponsibilities of government The peo-
pie never mistook their duty in a case
like this, and they never will.

FA1g.U @ -.

The Democratic party is great" rs
a tiscoverer of failures.
In its National convention in 1861
right in the midst Of the war Of the Re
bellion- at the very crisis OF the ma
tional cause-Samuel j. Tilden, now
the Presidential candidate OF that party
helped TO get up the following "fail-
ure" resolution, which was adopted:
R,soised, That this convention does
explicitly declare, as the sense OF the
American people, that after four years
of failure TO restore the Union by the
experiment Of war during which, IN
der the pretense Of military necessity
or war power higher than the Constitu-
ton, the Constitution itself has bsel
disregarded in every part, and public
liberty and private right alike trodden
down, and the material prosperity OF
the country essentially imyaired-jus
ticc, humanity, liberty, and the public
welfare demand that Immediate efforts
be made for cessation OF hostiiities,
with n view 10 an ultimate convention
OF the States, or other peaceable means,
to the end that the earliest practicable
momont psane may me restored on the
basis OF the Federal States.
And Again in the National Con-
vention OF the same delectable
party, Tilden's hackers favored .snoth-
er ''faiIure" resolution, which was
adopted, as followa.
Rsolrsd, That we, the delegates Of
the Democratic party OF the United
States in National Convention assem-
bled, do hereby denounce the failure
OF the Republican party for all these
eleven years TO make good the promis-
es OF the legal tender notes, which arc
a changing standard OF vslue in the
bauds OF the people, and the non.p pay
nient OF which is disregard OF the
pledged faith of the nation. We de-
nonncc the improvidence which in elev-
en- years of peace has taken from the
people in federal States thirteen times
the whole arsount Of the legal tender
notes, and squandered four times this
sum in useless expenses, without ac-
cumulating any reserve for their re
denton. We denounce the financial
impecility and immortality Of that party
which, during eleven years OF peace,
has made no advance toward redemp-
ton, no preparation for resumption,

TO prove more successful Of the patior
