How small portion of our lives is
that we truly enjoy. In youth we
are looking for things that are to
come. In old age we look back to
things that are past.

MYSTERY OF DREAMS.

1t is related that man fell asleep
as the clock tolled the first st oke of
twelve. He awakened ere the echo
of the twelfth stroke had died away,
having in the interval dreamed that
he had committed crime, was de-
tected after FIVE years, tried and con
demned the shock of finding the
halter about his neck aroused him to
consciousness, when he discovered
that all these events had happened in
an intinitessimal fragment Of the Mos
BANNED, wishing to illustrate the
wonders of sleep, told how certain
man, being shek, found himself for
his pride made a poor fisherman /;
that he lived as one for fifty years,
bringing up family aud working
hard and how, upon walking up
from his long dream, so short time
had heen asleep that the narrow~
necked gourd bottle filled with water
which he knew he overturned as he
slept, had not time in which to emp-
ty itself. How fast the soul travels
when the body is asleep Often
when we awake, we shrink from go
ing back into the dull routine of a
sordid existence, regretting the
pleasanter life of dreamland. How
is it that sometimes, when we 60 in
to a place; we fancy that we have
seen it before9 1t is possible that
when one has been asleep the soul
has hoated away, seen the place,
aud has that memory of it which SO
surprises US 7 In word, how far
dual is the life of man, how far now !

some pleasant dream. 1t was indeed an en-
ioyable occasion. Crowds flocked around the
Centennial table, where Mrs. DR.. Folwell and
Mrs. Thad. Waterman have so ably and sue
cessfully presided; too much praise can not
be accorded these ladies for the aid they have
SO nobly given.

every thing will be arranged admirably and
that all will have pleasant time.

NETTING OF THE BAR OF ST. MARY PARISH.

AEEIlN6 VI IHL bAh VI 81. NAIL IADAon'
FRANKLIN, La, Feb. IA meeting of the
bar of st. Mary was held here to-day, for the
purpose of considering what action is neces-
sary, in view Of the memorial heretofore ad-
dressed to E. b. Mentz, Parish Judge, re-
questing his resignation.
A communication from Judge Mentz was
read, asking if the members Of the bar de-
sired q session of the Parish Court.
On motion, it was resolved that a commit
tee be appointed to wait upon z. B. Mentz.
and respectfully request him to resign the
Office of Judge of the Parish Court Of the
parish of St. Mary; and, in the event Of his
refusal to resign, that said committee do
forthwith prepare and draw articles OF i'm
parchment against said Mentz, and present
the same to the Legislature now in session,
for the immediate action thereon.
Resolved further, That whilst we wish SEES
sion Of the Parish Court, we do not desire
such session to be held by Z. B. Mentz, as
Parish Judge, as he has neither the capacity
nor integrity, nor has he heretofore held AS es-
sion Of the Parish Court in the strict sense
and meaning Of the term.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Pinchback gives way
TO the Centennial Appropriation bill.
1t is stated no vote will be allowed until
Senators Burnside and Sharon are in their
seats. Their votes are required to make
assurance doubly sure
There is no positive assertion on either side
as to Billings's fate.
The argument Of Gov. Brown, Of Tennes-
-sov;-ssfese@Ae Senate Committee on the con-
stitutional features of the Texas Pacific Rail-
road, was mastery. Nearly all the members
of the committee complimented him on its
conclusion.
Gen. Fremont was before the Judiary Com
mittee, which is investigating the Irregular
ties regarding the charter Of the old Transcon-
tinental road. Session secret.
Gen. Humphreys, Chief Engineer U. S. A.,
was before the House Levee Committee this
morning He argued strongly in favor Of
levees and furnished facts and figures in sup
port of the proposed bill for Government aid.
In the House the usual Monday call is pro-
crossing.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. E. Adams, of
Kentucky, was nominated Consul at Port
Said.
Charles Horton was before the House Judi
ciary Committee and furnished list Of wit
nesses to prove the alleged use of money in
securing the charter of the Memphis and Ell
Paso Railroad. 1t is alleged that Sic, 600 in
money was paid out and millions promised.
Fremont was present The object of this
investigation is against the present Texas Pa
cific Company, which, it is said, has come
honestly into possession Of some Of the faint
ed franchise.
The following nomination was confirmed
to-day: Chas E. Brown, as pension agent at
Cincinnati.
In the executive session of the Senate there
was discussion which lasted nearly an hour
and half, respecting the nomination Of E,
C, Billings to be Uniled States District Judge
for Louisiana, vice Durrell, resigned. The
report of the Judiciary Committee recon-
mends confirmation.
This was opposed by several Democratic
Senators, on the ground that Billings took
part in the preparation and issuance of the
so-called midnight order" Of Judge Durell
and that he was improperly connected with
the transactions of Norton, the Assignee in
Bankruptcy. These allegations were denied
by Senator West and several members of the
judiciary Committee, who claimed to show
that they were entirely unfounded. The in
llications are that when the matter is decided
Billings will be confirmed by nearly solid
Republican vote, and his friends assert that
some of the Democratic Senators also will
yote for his confirmation.
