Let Year ssasnsors Alone.

No people are such thorough nuisances
As those who are perpetually meddling
with the business of their neighbors-
who are always on the alert for any
thing suspicious-always ready to be
lieve the worst of everybody. Reader,
IL you belong to that unfortunate class,
we pity you. AS it is impossible that you
can find out anything that is going on
in your vicinity, you must be in a state
OF continual torture. A prying mind
needs food, and, without it, suffers.
Then try to conquer the unhappy pc
lisrity. What is it to you if your
neighbOr does bring home brown pa
per package and covered basket? You
will live just as long if you never know
what they contain. 1t is none of your
business. And If your flighty neighbor,
Mrs. Lightfoot, indulges herself in her
new bonnet, while her devoted husband
wears patched boots. you need not fret
about it-he is the only sufferer, not
you; no need of making hue and a cry
over her supposed extravaganza. The
money did not come out of your pocket,
and consequently is none of your busi
ness. What If the minister does call
on Ann Smith twice a week? Why
exercise your brain for it? Let him
court away. Suppose she has an awe.
full temper and powders her face, as
you say she does, her temper will not
trouble you. Mind your own concerns
What difference does it make to you If
bold Maria '.cut out" modest Mary?
You need not torture Mary by long
stories Of what you have heard concern
ing the matter. 81 thought l would
tell you my dear; 1 speak for your
good; somebody should put you on
your guard against that treacherous
girl" As natural consequence, mod
est Mary, her womanly pride aroused,
shrinks into the background, leaving
the field open to her victorious rival.
So you crush good girls heart because
you will not mind your own business.
What if they do have three pairs of
stockings over at Squire Hills. Haven't
they got right to? As long as you
don't do the washing, it need not trouble
you at all. What right have you to
watch their clothes line? Employ your
time better. 1t may be perfectly true
that dashing Mrs. Gay signals to young
DIR. Wilde from her back windows; but
who gave you the privilege of watch
ing lady in her own home, where, if
at any place, her privacy should be
sacred? Her disgrace is nothing to
you; it is none of your business. If we
had our way, meddlers should be pun
ished like any other offenders against
the rights of others.

Arimalh hea's Tomb.

We had guide who knew every sa-
cred spot in the city, man who never
failed 10 satisfy the curiosity Of the most
credulous tourists.
"Whose tombs are those?" we asked.
"That is the tomb of Joseph of Ari-
mathea, and beside it is the tomb OF
Nicodemus."

.'Then perhaps you can tell US If this
tomb belonged to Joseph Of Arimathes
and this to Nicodemus, whose is the
third one?"
"Oh, yes, that other" replied the
guide, with only moments paralysis of
his invention, ''that Is the tomb Of Ari-
mathea himself. Atlantic Monthly.

There are two kinds of sleep, the in
complete and the complete. Complete
sleep is atempOrary metaphy steal death,
though not an organic one. The heart
and lungs perform their offices with
their accustomed regularity. 1t is cha
racterized by torpor of the organs Of
the brain, of the external senses, and
of voluntary motions. Incomplete sleep
is the activity of one or more of the ce-
rebral organs, while the others are in
repose this occasions dreaming. Sleep
is variously effected by health and di-
sease. Man in time of health sleeps in
tranquility. He arises in the morning
refreshed and prepared to go forth to
his daily labor. New strength is given
him; languor has gone, and all the IA
culties, both mental and corporal, are re-
cruited. But the sleep of disease is far
different. 1t is short and unrefreshing I;
disturbed by fearful sights and fright
full dreams. StupOr and sleep are
different, though supposed by some to
be Synonymous. In both there is in
sensibility; but it is easy TO awaken a
person from sleep, while it is sometimes
almost impossible to arouse one from
stupor. 1t is frequently the case in
sickness that the person lies for several
days in stupOr, totally insensible.
Though sleep be natural and necessary
to the languid mental and corpOreal ia
ulties, yet it is often brought on by
some external cause. Heat produces
sleep. We witness it in the Summer
season; it is common to see the labOrer
devote an hour i'm the heat of the dav
to sleep. A heated church is likely to
bring on sleep. Variety, whether in
sight or sound, prevents sleep, while
monotony of all kinds is apt to produce

contending interests. to help in the clue
idation of difficult points, the admins

wants standing in disOrganized mob at
the gates Of the social temple, and are
unable to suggest anything whereby
they may be reduced to order and con-
tent. But, at the same time, the women
who complain of their own stunted lives,
and who demand leave to share the lives
and privileges Of men, deny the right OF
their maids to live up to higher stand

cerned, and hold the faith that service
should mean practically servitude.-

Seventh Texas State Fair.

Approaching the great influence of
the Changers, the managers of this
Fair, which opens in the city of Hous-
ton on Tuesday, May 2, 1876, and con
tinues for five days, have offered special
money premiums for the best collection
of agricultural products from any one
Grange for canned fruits, vegetables
and preserves for the best wheat, corn,
oats, barley and rye; and four money
premiums on cotton, viz: $500, $3.50, $50
and 800. They have also determined
to admit free the representatives of the
different Oranges, and have set apart
one day to be devoted to Grange inter
ests. This action cannot fail to make
the Fair very popular with Oranges
throughout the South, and secure
larger attendance than at any OF its pre-
deeessors, which have been counted
among the most successful OF Southern
agricultural and mechanical exhibit
tions. James +. Dumble, ESQ, of
Houston, the Secretary of the Associa-
ton, is one Of the most energetic and
competent of officers, and to his zeal
and perseverance much Of the wide in
fluence of this association is due. Mr..
}. Curtis Waldo, No. Sc Camp street, is
the New Orleans agent, and will give
all information desired by those who
intend to visit this Fair.

The downfall of Belknap does not
seem likely to diminish the efforts of
the Republicans to carry New Hamp-
shire, however it may affect the result
OF the election. Representative Frye,
OF Maine, has gone there to mount the
stump for his party, and will soon be
followed by Representatives Garfield, of
Ohio, and Hale, of Maine, as well as by
ex-GOv. Noyes, Of Ohio, and Senator
Dawes, of Massachusetts. The Demo-
Gratis will send into the State Represen-
tatives Tarbox, of Massachusetts.
Cochrane, Of Pennsylvania. and Han,
cock, Of Texas.-N y Post.
This selection Of stump speakers.
says the New York SIN, is not first-rate.
The Republicans should have Babcock
on the list, and perhaps the services of
the ex-Secretary of War might be OBJ
tanned. Then Morton and Conkling
should amble to the front. AS for the
Democrats, Ben Hill and Bill Allen are
required to arouse the echoes. Both
the old parties ought to show what they
are capable of.

rom Yesterdays Evening Elfti,
The Morning Press.

The Bee enunciates at length the lega
consequences which follow pinch
backs rejection by the Senate of the
United States, the action Of the Senate
stamping with nullity all that has been
done here under authority acquired by
the midnight order. It thinks that now
that the Senate has decided adversely to
the legality of the usurping government
here hat the Democratic House can no
| longer ignore the memorial and address
of the people Of Louisiana. It should at
once act, even il merely to pass vote
of censure on the Presidents repeated
interferences in our local affairs.
The Republican thinks that a crisis
greater than the war is now upon the
American people, and that the Govern
ment, which resisted the shocks and
storms of the conflict, is now exposed to
the more fearful test Of cowardly and
sordid corruption. 1t denies the re-
sponsibility of its party, and thinks it a
cause for feelings of pride that the Re-
publicans have promptly pushed the
prosecution of the principal offender,
whose guilt has been exposed. 1t is
confident that its party will meet the
crisis and give the country an honest
government.
The Picay,u,e thinks the proposition
that il Pinchback is not the Louisiana
Senator, Mr.. Eustis certainly is, too
plain to admit of argument. 1t also
considers it a logical conclusion that if
Mr.. Eustis is not seated the compromise,
which gave Kellogg his only title to the
Office he holds, becomes a dead letter
and Kellogg must fall with it.
4 The Bulletin fears that the rejection
of Pinchback will have no favorable
for, though some Republican Senators
could not bring themselves to vote for
the former, it doubts whether they will
rise so far above party demands as to
vote Tor a Democrat. 1t thinks, how
ever, that, apart from partisan consid
erations, the logic of the situation re-
quires the admission of Mr.. Eustis.
The Times thinks that the vote of the
Senate yesterday on the Pinchback case
Is an admission that there has been a
vacancy for three years, and does not
see how the Senate can refuse to recog-
nize the validity of Mr. Eustis' claims
to the vacant seat. 1t considers it
probable that the defeat of the repre-
sentative of their race may cause the
breaking up of the phalanx of colored
voters which has heretofore existed, and
thinks that this would be a fortunate
result for the whole country. st4

We are in receipt of complimentary
tickets of invitation to a grand vocal
and instrumental concert rendered by
her pupils to Mrs. G. Boudousquie, at
Grunewald Hall, on the evening Of the
18th inst. Those Well-known and favor
lite singers, Messrs. Cassard, Metaye
and Caulier will assist the pupils Of
Mrs. Boudousquie, and the occasion
promises to be most enjoyable one,
and rare treat to lovers of music. The
lady to whom this is rendered is widely
known and beloved in social circles, and
she deserves to be, and we trust the oc-
casion will be, great success. Tickets
for sale at the music stores.

It has been supposed that Kellogg
called the Senate in extra session to
confirm, among other appointments,
those of the Judges of the Supreme
Court of Louisiana in succession to the
present Bench. 1t seems to be under
stood that Ludeling is not to be re-
appointed, but rumor is to the effect that
p. Hickey Morgan and Rufus X. Howell
will be. Taliaferro and WHY are to be
left out in the cold. The term Of the
present Judges expires in August next.
There Is question as to the right of the
Governor to appoint their successors in
advance Of vacancies, and also as to the
right Of the Senate, as at present COM
posed. to confirm appointments made in
advance. The Radicals Of Louisiana
care very little, however, about legal
difficulties when they have an object to

The rejection of Pinchback's claim to
a seat in the Senate has aroused an i'm
mense amount Of Indignation among
the negro politicians, who are loud and
threatening in their denunciation of the
treachery of the Republicans. We pre-
sumo the Southern negroes will in time
learn that the Republican leaders have
only patronized them for their votes.
and care as little for them beyond
that, as they do for the natives of Sene
gambia. 1t is curious to remark that
the only serious proposition that has
been yet made to interfere with the
privileges of the negroes has come from
influential Republican journals, several
OF which have proposed, with a view of
cutting down the negro vote, when their
party shall be ready todispense with it.

The Belknap and other exposures are

The Belknap and other exposures are
not, as some seem to think, an evidence
of the weakness or decline of republi-
can institutions in this country. On the
contrary, they are the first indication we
have had in many years Of the vitality
and vigor of republican institutions.
While it was matter of public notoriety
that the whole Federal Government was
utterly corrupt and no steps were taken
to purify it, there was much to alarm all
patriotic men and lead us to think that
republicanism had proved a terrible
failure. The recent exposures by the
Democratic branch of the Government,
however, shows that there is purify
ing power in the country and that in the
Democratic party there is still hope for
the Republic.

We hear it stated on what we consider
as good authority that Mr.. Charles Gin
ton is still the real Auditor of the State,
although he resigned some time ago,
and was succeeded ostensibly by Mr..
George B. Johnson, clerk for James
S. Clarke, Tax Collector of the First
District of New Orleans, who is said to
be merely a figure head for Clinton. It
is believed by some well-informed per-
sons that Clinton yet manages and di-
reefs the business of the Auditors office,
although he does not appear there. We
think this report is justified by facts
within our knowledge.

Collectors should make their settle

We understand that none Of the city
State Tax Collectors have, as yet, made
their settlements. Can it be possible
that they are awaiting the signing by

seems to prevail that the appointment

The House addressed Hawkins ont ,

The House addressed Hawkins out of
office by vote almost unanimous. The
Senate refused to concur. Both houses
passed an act abolishing the Superior
District Court.
Why does Kellogg not sign it Instead
OF this, he has assigned Judge Lynch as
acting judge of this court till Hawkins
gets able to resume the bench, which
means that Kellogg now controls this
court. If Hawkins don't decide for
Kellogg, Kellogg will sign the bill and
"squelch" the court. What do our
merchants and peace-loving traders
