II is a mattel Of qualification with the
people OF Louisiana that the Legisla.
ture OF Mississippi has expunged from
the records Of that body the shameful
resolution passed by the Legislature o.
1875, indorsing the infamous conduct o.
Phil Sheridan In this State. This action
by a truly representative Legislature
OF our sister State Is honorable to MIS-
sissippi. and touches the hearts OF the
ueOplevOf Louisiana.

ARTIFICIAL WANTs.--Bulwer says that
poverty is only an idea in nine cases
out of ten. Some men with ten thou
sand dollars year suffer more for want
Of means than others with three hun
bred. The reason is the richer man has
artificial wants. His income is ten
thousand and he suffers enough from
being dunned for unpaid debts to kill a
sensible man. A man who earns dol
lar day and does not run in debt, is
the happier man Of two. Very few
people who have never been rich will
believe this but is as true as Gods
word. There are thousands and thou
sands with princely incomes who never
know a moments peace, because they
live above their means. There is really
more happiness in the world among
working people than among those who
are called rich.

Keeping Step to the Music of the Union.

One of the costly appendages to the
useless and expensive Marine Corps is a
large band Of music, which, under
Grant, has been treated as personal
property, though maintained entirely at
the public expense. Members OF the
Cabinet, their friends and favorite par
tisans, have been served with it at
receptions, dinners and balls, upon a
simple order of Secor Robson, who re-
CARDS this band, as he does the Talla-
poosa and Despatch, which have been
fitted up with every luxury as yachts
| for his pleasure, as mere perqulSlteS OF
the Office which he occupies.
Last week Boss Shepherd gave shod-
dy entertainment in Washington, at
which this band furnished the music, as
it had done a few nights previously at
the Executive mansion for public re-
ception Both were put on the same
footing, and Grant was the central fig
ure of EACH After the election Of An
drew Johnson to the Senate, his friends
at Washington arranged serenade in
his honor, and applied for the use OF
this band. Though he had been Presi-
dent Of the United States, and was en-
titled to that courtesy, SecOr Robson
Extensively refused the request. But he
was prompt to order the same band
at the service of Boss Spepherd, the
head Of the Washington ring, whose
nomination O. Republican Senate was
forced to reject.
The Marine Corps, this band, and
other excrescences, cost the tax payers
a round million Of dollars every year,
without a particle Of necessity or public
utility The officers are mainly com
posed of @ class who could not pass
West Point or the Naval Academy.
They are SONS or brothers or cousins Of
Senators, Representatives., and others
in public life, or in the army and navy.
The whole concern is a pension estab-
lishment for men who are unwilling to
work, and who could not earn decent
living if they tried.-N Y. Sun.

The winter sojournerrs in Flori-
da are rapidly timing out, and we
are told that one party were in
camp in the pine woods, twenty
miles from Enterprise, nine weeks
They had three bird dogs, two set
ters and pointer, and four deer
hounds. They killed aud brought
into camp 81 deer,9 wild turkeys,
3l4 quail and snipe, aud 81 wild
duck, aud caught all the trout they
could use. They had the following
bill of fare to select from: Vcnison
in all styles; snipe, quail, duck,
wildturkey, squirrels, and a half
dozen varieties Of fish. They had
four horses, upon which they rode
in hunting. Their habiations
were wall tents, II by Is, and
houses made Of palmetto thacth.

pleasant and warm,and they always
went shooting in their sleeves
Enterprise is considered the head
quarters for sportsmen, even those
locate along tho Indian river
Fishing parties located there at
the hotel never fail of filing their
baskets with largo fine bass and
trout. The largest range from six
to nine pounds but nearly double
this weight is found upon the In
dian river. The great tro phies of
some are the teeth of alligators =
those obtaining the longest, the
winners The manner of obtaining
them is after killing is to cut off
and bury the alligator's head, un-
til by decay the teeth loosen,w when
they are easily extracted. The
largest alligators in Florida are
from eleven to fourteen feet in
length.
