The Monroe Municipal Election.

We congratulate our Democratic
friends of Monroe on the success they
achieved last Monday at the polls,
which placed the city government in
the hands of the party and secured
the services Of some Of the best and
most substantial citizens Of the place
The Democracy elected the mayor
and five, out of seven, councilmen =;
and it was all done quietly and peace.
abIy-no disturbance or any SEM
llance of cause for the usual plea OF
intimidation and violence, which the
Republicans make whenever they are
defeated.
Monroe has long occupied the IN.
cnyiable reputation Of being one of
the strong-holds of Radicalism in
this District; but she has redeemed
herself and achieved a triumph which
We hope will he lasting and result in
great good not only to that fair city
but to the entire parish of Ouachita.
If Monroe, with its large colored pop
ulatioD, can elect o Democratic ticket,
we see no reason why the Democracy
Of the parish cannot, by a similar
effort, carry the election in November.
May it prove foreshadowing of
what will be accomplished at tina,
election.

6 What's Them I? "

A young country couple, strolling
about on the Senate side of the Capitol,
yesterday, came to the cake stand of
"Aunt Mary" near the main entrance,
and the young maninvested in five cents
worth Of ginger-snaps, which, he gener-
ously shared with his blushing compan-
ion. Suddenly his eyes lighted on a
pile of bananas, when he asked.

replied Aunt Mary. "Them yaller
things on the big stem" "Why, those
are bananas" 'Now, you don't say
so rs said the astonished youngster from
the rural districts. II thought they
they was sweet potatoes! !" The loud
laughter from a dozen pages standing
near caused the young man to blush
painfully, and, turning to his compan-
ion, he said, "Come Sal; reckon we
better 60 somewhere else.'' And they
took up their line of march towards the

Hating One Another.

Two Scotchmen occupied the same
cottage, each being bound to keep his
own side of the house well matched.
They were sadly divided religiously,
one being Burgher and the other an
anti-Burgher. After repeated battles
of words they were not ON speaking
terms. One day these men were at work
on the roof, each matching his own side,
and they met at the top and were forced
to look at each others faces. One of
the men took off his cap, and scratching
his head said to the other: "Johnnie,

but not English. The conversation,
agreeably to Mr.. Orth's wishes, was
conducted in German. After a short
time the Emperor remarked, "Tell me
IN what part of Germany you were
born?" The American minister re-
piled, "Not in Germany, your Majesty,
but in Pennsylvania, in the United
States" But" said the Emperor,

Rhine" ~ thank your Majesty" said
the minister, for observingit It was

lc land, removed a century and q half
ago to the wilds Of America, and settled

full in landscape as the Rhine, which

of courtesy. -

The Hulk of the Merrimac.

From the Norfolk Va.,) virginian, June 2.
The remaining timbers of this once
formidable floating battery, having been
successfully raised by diver West, were
towed up Tuesday to the Navy Yard
dock with the pontoons and lifting
lighters attached, with which she draws
about "a and half feet of water. The
diver has been indefatigable in his exer-
tons to raise this sunken wreck, and
his efforts have now been crowned with
success, he having cleared the naviga-
ton Of a most dangerous obstacle,
although in a pecuniary point Of view
it may not be SO advantageous to him.
The pontoons have been pumped out,
and the hulk will be taken into the dry
dock for examination to-day. The bot
tom timbers are for the most part of
live oak, and all the wood suitable for
manufacturing into canes will be utiliz-
ed for that purpose. All day yester-
day the Navy Yard was crowded with
persons curious to look at the once
famous old vessel, and good oppor-
tunity will now be afforded for doing
so, while the hulk is in the dry dock

Death Of a Waterloo Veteran.

The death is announced of another
Peninsula and Waterloo veteran, Gen
eral Sir George Bowles, G.. G. B., lieu
tenant Of the Tower of London, and
colonel of the Far West India Regiment.
Sir George was born IN 1887, and was,
consequently, 80 years Of age. He en-
tered the army in 1904, served in the
North of Germany under General Lord
Cathcart, in 1905 and 1906, was present
at the capture of Copenhagen in 1909,
and served on the Peninsula from 1909
to 1914, excepting the winters of 1910
and 1911. He was present at the pas
sage of the Douro, the battles of Tala-
vero, Salamanca, and Vittoria, the
sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajos, Bur-
COS and San Sebastian, capture Of Mad
rid, the passages of the Bidassoa, Nj
velle, Nive and Adous, and the battle
Of Bayonne. He next served in Flap-
ders and France, and was present at the
battles Of Quatre Bras and Waterloo
and the capture of Paris. In 1845 he
was appointed master Of the household
to the Queen, and held that Office until
1851, when he was appointed lieutenant
of the Tower of London.

Tooth Powders.

The principal ingredients of tooth
powder are chalk and soap, favored
with some agreeable perfume or ex-
tract, such as wintergreen, peppermint,
rose water, etc. The chalk and fayors
may be clean and wholesome enough
to suit the most fastidieus, but the soap
is usually too nasty to be put in human
mouths, being nadeof the refuse fat of
animals. It is well known that not
only hogs and cattle, but horses, con-
tribute materials for the soap-boilers.
AS nearly every lady and many gentle
men use tooth powder, an opportunity
is afforded for enormous profits for
those who manufacture and sell. Bot
ties Of powder which, sell for twenty
five, and fifty cents cost five and ten
cents at the most. Many dentists make
a good thing by making their own pow
der, which they sell to their patients at
prices greatly in advance of those
charged for powder at the druggists.

The Spanish troops recently killed q
man named Trojan Garcia, in Cuba,
who was formerly a Spanish soldier,
but having had some punishment in
ficted on him by the commander of
his detachment, deserted to the rebels,
and at the head of few chosen men
had ever since devoted himself to the
work of revenge on the particular COM
pany to which he had belonged. He
had continually lurked in their neigh
borhood, picking off one straggler after
another, until he had killed thirty-seven
men of the company, besides the par
ocular officer who had punished him.

Newark, in grateful commemorative of

1926, deposited this stone as a founda-

Soft Soap as a Weapon.

The most memorable cleaning that
ever was done with soft soap was when
it cleaned out a band of savages.
Soft soap was first most efectually
applied in this country by the Swedish
women who defended the old (log)
Swedish church below Philadelphia,
before the city was laid out. A friend
" squaw gave notice of an intended
attack by the Indians. The Scandi-
navian ladies were boiling soap, and
they at once concluded to convert the
contents of the kettle into ammunition
of defense. They lifted it into the
church, with fire wood to keep it hot.

the foundations they received on their
bare backs a spirited fire of terrible
material, which in due time sent them.

A Terrible Instrument.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.


Friday afternoon, at the request of
the Japanese Consul, Samso Takaki,
the new gun patented by Leonard and
DeVry, and christened Peace Conser-
vator," was exhibited at the Pacific
Ironworks. The prompt action of
the instrument, delivering seventy
shots in four seconds and / $50 shots in
one minute, through thick oak bar
ricade, proves that it is one of the most
terrible th-dealing inventions ever
known. The machinery is simple, easily
worked, requiring few attendants, who
are perfectly protected from their adj
versary's bullets, and can be trans
ported with much greater ease than an
ordinary six-pounder. The bullets
from this terrible machine will, it is
claimed, diverge 800 feet in 1000 yards
the distance claimed that it will
efectually deliver shots-and can be
easily worked by one person in any di-
rection, or made to shoot almost solid.
For narrow defiles it is proposed to be
equal to 5000 infantry, and for COM
bat on the battlefield equal to three
batteries of regular artillery. The
Japanese Consul and other invited
guests expressed their astonishment at
the rapidity and ease with which the
machinery was worked, and highly
complim ented the inventors and the
machinists who had brought to sue
cessful completion the Peace Conser-
vator"

Happy Every Day.


When you rise in the morning, form
the resolution to make the day happy
one to a fellow creature. It is easily
done; left-of garment to the man
who needs it; kind word to the sor-
rowful; an encouraging expression to
the striving-triaes in themselves as
air-will do at least for twenty-four
hours. And if you are young, depend
upon it, it will tell when you 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
most simple arithmetic sum, look at
tho result. If you send one person
away happily through the day, that is
365 in the course of year. And sup
pose you live forty years only after you
commence that course of medicine,
you have made 14,6OO persons happy
at all events for time.

ton OF specie payments. In view of the present
and prospective burdens which are incident 10 the
banking business, they declare that except the re-
lef asked for be granted, they will be compelled
to go out of the business. The next reason as
signed is that the taxes in question belong to the
system Of war taxation, and should have been re-
pesled with the rest OF that system years ago.
As scarcely any other vestiges of specific war
taxation remain now upon the statute book, the
banks contend that il is demand of simple JUS
tice that all the taxes the business of bank
ing should be at once removed. Finally they
point to the fact that in no other country in mod
ern time is the business of banking selected for
taxation as in the United States.
VI course there are many other subjects, some
of which we have lately ventured to suggest, as
adapted to occupy the attention of the Associa-
ton hereafter. But they have done we'll to take
up IN the first instance question OF so definite
and popular a character as that of oppressive tax
alton.
1t has been well said that there is no bond so
likely as grievance TO bind greet bodies of men
together. When the banks become accustomed
to act together for this common object they will
the more easily form the habit of acting together
for other purposes. In union they will not only
find strength, but many other benefits conducive
to sound banking. The American Bankers As
