1HE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

A Chicago firm, dealing in gamblers
implements for cheating, advertises to
send a complete list of country fairs to
be held next fall. Thus swindlers may
lay out a business tour satisfactorily.
Gambling seems, to judge by the follow
ing extract from the firms circular, to
have suffered by the general depression
in business: ave take pleasure in hand
ing you our revised price list, in which
you will find that we have reduced prices
to conform with the times. Owing to
the continued shrinkage in commercial
values and the decreased cost of labor,
and material, we offer you acomplete list
of first class goods at prices lower than
have ever before been offered by any
house in the trade. Having large fac
tory, with steam power and the latest
improved machinery, we are able with
our increased facilities to fill all orders
quickly and in satisfactory manner,
and stand to-day the leaders in our
branch of industry, in the United States,
if not in the world" The catalogue in
cludes marked cards, loaded dice, and
many ether devices for cheating.

1t seems to me there can be little
doubt of Tilden's election.
AS thing are, Grant will be a violent
partisan in the present contest. The
weight of the administration, with all its
corrupt appliances, will be used to elect
Hayes. Morton, Boutwell,, and factiOus
men of that class are striving, with
Grants assistance, to revive sectional
hatred. Gen. Dix, with more military
zeal than he displayed during the war, is
appealing to the Boys in Blue" to or
ganize for Hayes; and the worst elements
of faction will be busy to defeat Tilden.
What monstrous suggestion is that
of Boutwell,, a senator from Massachu-
sets, to remand Mississippi back to
territorial condition What are the ideas
of such a man of the structure of our
government.
But I trust we shall be able to over
run Boutwell,, the devil, and all their
works.

have read Tilden's letter with great
satisfaction. 1t is the product Of an able
mind-a statesman and politician, who
will give us an energetic and capable ad-
ministration. The paper carries us back
to better days and times, when we had
statesmen for chief magistrates who were
capable of defining policy and shaping
a course ofwise administration. Iregret
that Tildens and Hayes letters could
not have appeared simultaneously, so
that the public could have read and stu
died them together. The tame plati-
tudes of one, and the profound and intel
ligent thought and utteranCes, OF the
other, are in strong contrast.
The letter of Hendricks is better than
I apprehended. But it is the head Of
the ticket which always gives it charac-
ter. Thevice,president heutenantgOver-
nor is little thought of, and is often sup
posed to nave views different in some re-
spect from his chief. II was very cum
ming on the part of the radicals to try to
create a difference of opinion between
the two candidates, or to make the pub
lie believe there was q conflict.

HOW TO CURE i Bad MEMORY.
St. Nicholas for September.


Your memory is bad, perhaps; but l
can tell you two secrets that will cure the
worst memory. One mentioned above:
to read subject when strongly interest
ed. The other is, to not only read, but
think. When you have read paragraph
or page, stop, close the book, and try to
remember the ideas on that page, and
not only recall them vaguely in your
mind, but put them into words and
speak them out. Faithfully follow these
two rules, and you have the golden keys
of knowledge. Besides inattentive read
ing, there are other things injurious to
memory. One is the habit Of skimming
over newspapers, items of news, smart
remarks, bits of information, political re-
The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1876-09-28

Elections, fashion notes, all in confused
tumble, never to be thought Of again,
thus diligently cultivating a habit of
careless reading, hard to break. Another
is the reading of trashy novels. Nothing
is so fatal to reading with profit as the
habit of running through story after
story, and forgetting..thema as soon as read.
I know a gray-haired woman, lifelong
lover OF books, who sadly declares
that her mind has been ruined by such
reading.

bore the words For Punky," and con-
tanned beautiful silver watch, the hands
of which were just at seven o'clock, and
the little thing went tick, tick, ticking
away as who should say "Punctual Pc
ter's the boy for me-" Peter and his
mother exchanged gIances of bewildered
surprise.
" Well, this is co." said Peter, "Who
can have sent them, 'Punky' makes it
look like Mr.. Campbelps doing, and
7empus Fugjt' looks like Mr.. Dali
keith's, an yet Gamma understand why
either of them sud haze done it,"
The fact was that Mr. Campbell had
gone to Mr.. Dalkeith's to make inquiry
as to the character of my punctual hero,
and their conversation had resulted in a
united resolve to make the widow and
her son so valuable present. This Pc
ter did not know for many long day, as
both the gentlemen avoided all mention
of it and STAYED off all inquiry. But as
he went to the shop the next morning,
and when his master met him with a
smiling face, the old church chimed in
his ears, Ttmpus Fugit is Peters friend"
I must not make my story too long. Pc
ter continued to retain and deepen the
esteem in which he was held by Mr.. Dali
keith he rose from one grade to another
till he became the confidential manager
of his employer, and when he was able to
take the dear mither" away from her
poor cottage and hard toll, and place her
in his own home surrounded with every
comfort, his satisfaction was complete.
Old Mr., Campbell spent much of his
time at Peters house, and mad no great
er delight than to welcome the thrifty
son and the happy widow to his snug
back parlor. At length the old man died,
and left the whole of his savings and
stock-in-trade, amounting to several
thousand pounds, to "Peter McOwan,
my young friend Punky;" and at the
foot of his will were these words:
He who knows tie value of time and
the worth of punctuality will best know
how to turn both time and money to good
account" The only condition attached
to the bequest was that Peter should
visit the old mans grave at seven o'clock
in the evening of the anniversary of his
death. Twenty years after Peter became
the mayor OF his native city, having
also received the honor Of knighthOOd
for his services in the cause of philan-
thropy. He took for his crest a sun-dial,
with the shadow at the figure seven, and
the motto "7empus Fugit." On the
day, that Sir Peter McOwan was chosen
mayor he went to the morning services
at St. Dunstan church, his dear auld
mither' hanging on his arm and just as
they passed into the porch the old clock
bell chimed out its hourly burden.
Mother" said Peter, :" do you know
what the chimes are saying? Hank!
'Punky, God is good to you ," " Aye"
said the gray-haired matron, looking up
in his face with happy smile. Hank
again good to Punkys mither, too"

UNHEARD-O OF SMALLNESS.
The Salaries of Lady Clerks to be Cat Doec"
to Spare Those of Voters.


to Spare Those of TOteTs.
One of the meanest propositions that
has recently been made is credited to
very high officer of the government,
who, it is said, proposes that in reducing
the force of clerks in the several depart
ments, the salaries OF all ladies now re-
ceiving 1920, 81, 400, $1,000 or 81, 800
shall be reduced to 5000, in order that it
shall not be necessary to discharge as
many male clerks of the higher grades
as will otherwise have to go. The num-
Der of ladies in the employment of the
government who receive more than
81, 900 salary is small, and in almost
every instance they are experts in the
department of the service in which they
are placed. 1t is not claimed that the
male clerks who will receive their saIa-
ries can do the work any better, or as
we'll as it is done by the ladies. Indeed,
it is proposed to keep the ladies in their
present positions, but to add what is
taken from their salaries to the pay Of
clerks who can vote and render other
political service.
