CARL CHURz is said to be in favor
Of Charles Francis Adams for Presi-

that the march of empire is westward,
and that Massachusetts has had Its day
as the controlling power in federal
politics. Butas citizen Of New York,
it may be natural that he should look
for star in the East rather than in
the West.

Cherries are ripe in California

A correspondent, writing from
Caddo parish under date May 22d,
urges the claims of his parish in the
person of Judge w. B. Egan, of
Shreveport. He says:
Caddo parish claims the Govern
or, and we have the man who is fit
ted for the place. He is able, capa-
BILE, experienced, and honest in all
emergencies. We are confident that
he will serve if elected, and we are
confident that the people will elect
him, If nominated. Judge w. B.
Egan is the man. He is our choice,
and North Louisiana seconds the
nomination:
CADDO PARISH.
We agree with the writer in every
particular as to the qualifications
OF Judge Egan for the position of
Governor, but so far as CaddO par
ish is concerned we don't recognize
that it has any greater right to
claim the Governor than any other
parish in the State. 1t would afford
us much qualification for the Con-
vention to nominate Judge Egan
and if Caddo parish bases its claims
upon it's ability to furnish one OF
the best men in the State we heart.

with any one in a vigorous and ac-
tive support Of Judge Egan should
he be nominated by the Convention.

GOV. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.

The name of Thomas A. Hen
bricks, of Indiana, is frequently
mentioned in connection with
the Democratic candidacy for
President. He is one of the most
acceptable and perhaps as
strong a candidate as the Democ-
racy can select for their standard
bearer in the approaching cam
paign. He is one of the ablest
men of the nation. His record
as Senator and Governor is with
out spot or blemish, and his
course during the war was so
consistent that while an avowed
and uncompromising Union man
he advocated none Of those cruel,
inhuman measures towards
those engaged on the side of the
South which originated with the
more fanatical leaders of the
Administration party and are, if
not a disgrace, at leasta discred-
it to the civilization of which we
are prone to boast. Gov. Hen
bricks will, if he receives the en-
dorsement of the Democratic
National Convention at St.Louis,
poll the full strength of the par
ty both North and South, be-
sides a large proportion of the
Conservative vote of the country
which has not allied itself with
either of the great National par
ties. His qualifications and abil-
ity is fully recognized by the
leading Democratic journals
North and South, and we appre-
bend that his strength and pop
ularity will rapidly increase
from now on to the converting OF
the Convention. For the har-
monizing of the antagonistic ele-
ments Of the country, we could
not place a better man in the
Presidential chair.

COLLAPsE.-On the night of
the first instant, AZ benches of
the Bodcau bridge, near town,
just tumbled over of their own
accord-never having been
braced or fastened in any way.
The bridge being impossible,
is a great inconvenience to the
travelling public. We learn,
however, that Mr.. T. j. Moore,
curator Of McDill's succession,
proposes having itrepaired at an
early day, and made much more
secure than it has ever been.
It is thought the bridge will
soon be in the market for sale,
and as it will be many years be-
fore it's franchises expire, it will
be a good paying investment for
some one.

LIFE IN THE OLD TOWN YET.


strong incentive, has caused our
citizens to wake up, and BELLE
vUE is patching up her old gar
ments, and adding some entirely
new ones to it's wardrobe.
The public-spiritel merchants,
E. r. Moore & Son, are putting
up a fine, new framed Store
House, which is nearly complet
ed, and will be occupied by them
about the middle Of August,
when they will doubtless be
glad to see all their old friends,
and cultivate the acquaintance
of as many new ones, as pay
them the compliment of a call.
DR.. VIM. j. Mobley has built
him a new Office just south of
his residence, where he can be
found ready to deal out physic,
and write receipts for his hereto
fore patients who havn't paid
up.
Frank Smith has added anoth-
er field to the Hotel property,
for what purpose We do not
know, unless to raise mint to
mix with his No. l whisky.
Col. j. A. Snider is making
very attractive his home for
merly the residence of John R.
Griffin, dec'd,) by new fencing,
painting, &C., to an extent that
the old place is scarcely recog-
nizable. There is, however, one
fixture on his otherwise very de-
sirable little place that he is
very anxious to dispose of, to-
wit: Coco GRASS. He has been
paying for the other fixtures ;
he will pay SOME to get rid of
this one.
The Tom. Fort place-of olden
time-now owned and occupied
by B. F. Oneal, has also been
very much improved by new
fencing and other improvements.
He is fixing up, we presume, to
retire and sit under his own vine
and fig-tree after he shall have
filed his last term as Sheriff of
Bossier-which is fastening on
apace-none daring to modest OF
make him afraid.
And-proclaim it from the
house tops, that the old Belle
vue Church is being made as
good as new-and a little more
so. 1t has a new roof; is to
have a new ceiling, and made
generally attractive to the ex-
tent of four or five hundred dol
lars. The doors will doubtless
be kept locked, and bovines ex-
cluded from it as a shelter from
the sun and the storms, and the
little darkies from it as a play
ground.
In all these improvements we
had almost forgotten that we
ourself had been in the bust

A BRILLIANT AMERICAN Nov
EL.-John Esten Cook, of Vir-
ginia, an American novelist,
whose stories, in thrilling situa-
tons, sustained power, dramatic
incident, and charming diction,
are unsurpassed, has written for
the Detroit Free Prsss a serial
entitled "CANoLLEs: The For
TUNES CT A PARTISAN OF 81. A
STORY OF THE REVOLUTION" 1t
will be commenced in the Week
ly Free Press of June 10TH
During this Centennial year such
a story should be especially
welcome. Such of our readers
as are interested in this depart
ment Of literature, will, no doubt,
gladly hail "Canolles" as the
type of the heroic partisan of
American liberty, and hasten to
secure for themselves the pleas
ure of what promises to be the
most attractive story Of the year.

What Shall BE Expected of
Wives?

Some husbands do not make their
financial affairs a topic at home, and
some be~tter-halves know less of their
own husbands affairs than they do of
their neighbors'. Some weeks since Il
lady was informed of her husbands sus-
pension by reading the announcement
in a paper which she accidentally took
up in a store while waiting to have an
order filled. Whether it was pride or
fear that prompted the secresy can not
be stated, but what can be expected
from wives in the way of true economy
if they are only silent partners in the
matrimonial copartnershipP In 1857, a
large jewelry firm sold a costly set of
jewelry to a lady. The firm knew that
her husband was in a failing condition,
for the lady had been a long and profit
able customer. When the partner or
dered his clerk not to charge the set
which had been delivered, but to make
q memorandum on the blotter, he paid
the lady's integrity a high compliment.
When her husband failed the jewelry
came back with a note couched in such
terms that the dealer only regretted that
a gift of the set would be construed as
an insult.-Boston Journal.

TOTTIE'S

n story OF Contemporary Interest.
"Do you think it is best for us to go,
LottieP"
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Mellen had
been married scarcely more than a year
not long enough for the first gloss to
be worn of her wedding-ring--not long
enough to forget the enchanted gold
shine of the honeymoon; and now, upon
this clear December morning the young
wife sat at the breakfast-table, in a most
becoming neglige of rose-ribbons and
d%ove-colored cashmere, with an open
note in her hand, and her blue eyes
sparkling with delighted animation. A
pretty picture to look upon, for Mrs.
Mellen was very pretty-a tall, velvet
checked blonde, with her hair shining
like braided sunbeams, beneath the CO.
quettish little breakfast-cap she wore.
"Best, Clarence? Why, of course it
is best! Lulu Sparks would give her
ear to get cards to Mrs. B%enedict's ball."
81 dare say" said Mr.. Mellen, dry
ly. 'But did you ever read LaFon-
taine's Fablesp"
"What do you mean, ClarenceP"
"Only that it contains a story con-
corning an iron pot and a crockery pot
that swan down stream together. OF
course, the china pot got smashed"
"But fashion alters so, Clarence, you
know. Now, there's a lilac moire-an-
tique at Grant's-the loveliest shade
you ever saw, and a positive bargain,
on account of their being only 90 yards

"Eighty-6ve dollars, Lottiep And for

He shook his head gravely.
"No, Lottie, / am sorry to seem hard
or unkind, but this is so wild an idea
that 1 "a only conclude that you have
not thought sufficiently about it your
self. Mrs. Benedict is very kind to in
vite us to this ball, but you must write

Lottie burst into tears, for the firs'
time since their we~dding-day. Mr.
Mellen walked out of the room without
a good-by kiss.

Farmers Children.

The American farmer, in all his plan
ming and all his building, has never
made any provision for life. He has on
ly considered the means of getting IL liv-
ing. Every thing outside of this--evcry
thing relating to society and culture
has been steadily ignored. He gives his
children the advantages of schools, not
recognizing the fact that these very adj
vantages call into life q new set of social
wants. A bright, wcll-educated family
in a lonely farmhouse is q very different
material from a family brought up in
ignorance. An American farmers
children who have had Il few terms at q
neighboring academy resemble in no
degree the children of the European
peasant. They come home with new
ideas and new wants, and if they find
no opportunities for their satisfaction,
they will be ready, on reaching their
majority, to fly the farm and seek the
city.
If the American farmer wishes to
keep his children near him, he must
learn the difference of living and get
ting a living; and we mistake him and
his grade of culture altogether if he
does not stop over this statement and
wonder what we mean by it. To get a
living, to make money, to become
"forehandcd; :" this is the whole of life
to agricultural multitudes, discourage
ing in their numbers to contemplate.
To them there is no difference between
living and getting a living. Their
whole life consists in getting a living;
and when their families come back to
them from schooling, and find that,
really, this is the only pursuit that has
any recognition under the paternal
roof, they must go away. The boys
push to the centers or the cities, and
the girls follow them if they can A
young man or a young woman raised
to the point where they a%pprehend the
difference between living and getting a
living, a never be satisfied with the
latter alone. Either the farmers chill
dren must be kept ignorant, or provis'
ion must be made for their social wants.

What is the remedy? How shall

answer: BY making agricultural SO
ciety attractive. Fill the farm-hous'
