The campaign will be soon upon W.. and brass
band ubiquitous. An acquaintance Of ours has
discovered plan whereby he proposes to do
away altogether with brass bands during the
present canvass. These. he insists. are extreme
ly disagreeable to many persons. maiden ladies'
and bad-tempered old gentlemen with uneasy
consciencss; on the other hand. many people
like them. especially our colored fellow citizens
who will follow = Democratic procession dozen
miles. to hear one. His plan is therefore TO have
matters 80 regulated that those who like brass
bands can have them. and those who do not.
will never hear them. The prescription is
simple; the only thing necessary is q good, long
pull at some extra bad Texas whisky Next
morning the drinker will enjoy perfect chorus
Of brass bands. playing the Star-Spangled Ban
ner. the Bonnie Blue Flag and dozen other
contradictory tunes At the same time. Every
cotton float that dashes across the street will to
his ears. be giving forth sweet music; every
where will there be music in the air."
Anybody that wants to. can therefore enjoy a
fill brass band at = very small expense and
without disturbing the peace and harmony of
the streets. Give US these brass bands and
whisky.

He found 1t at last. Sunday evening. Sunday
after Sunday. for two months have We seen that
German. carrying his whole family out to the
lake on the crowded city cars. in . vain search
for a breeze. There they seated themselves on
one of the benches on the revstment levee in the
broiling sun. devoured saucer after saucer OF
ice cream, and tried to believe 1t IL cool.
For two months has he done this. meeting at
last. on Sunday evening. with his deserved re-
ward. The wind sprang UP and fairly rippled
the water. and. now and then. a wave rolled
over another and left narrow streak OF foam
behind. 1t was almost storm. The faces of
the old lady and gentleman cleaned with pleas
ure, and the children fairly screamed with de-
light when awhite-capped wave came rolling
along. Evidently they were in imagination at
the seaside: the rustic shed. some princely villa
at Long Branch or Newport: the muddy Pont-
chartrain. equal parts mixed Of swamp and river
water. the roaring Atlantic: the levee a long ex-
tended beach covered with shells, and the mild
summer zephyr they were enjoying, terrible
destructive storm.
But. even if they were mistaken, even If they
were carried away by their Imagination, they
share he delusion with about ten thousand other
people Of this city who crowd down every Dos
sible holiday to the lake. fondly believing that
they win md cool weather there. and that they
get fresh ocean breeze from that half lake. half
wamp. Pontchartrain.

Stoddard. in his History of Louisiana, gives
an account OF the longest trip ever made up the
Mississippi river. About the year 1916 when the
United States was fighting the Indians In Ohio,
the Government thought it to be- advisable to
send gunboat up the Mississippi to cooperate
with the troops. rightly concluding that man
of-war would be terror to the Indians and
create confusion and panic in their ranks The
sloop Boston was selected and ordered up to the
seat Of war from the Gulf squadron.
Without a moments hesitation she crossed
the bar started boldly up stream and anchored
for . few days opposite New Orleans. TO enjoy
the festivities OF our city. She then set sail
again for Harrison's army. on the Ohio. 1t was
q terribly tedious journey: large ship Of war
sailing up the Mississippi. with all it, bends
and curves. and against its mighty current For
weeks and months the sloop struggled on. some-
times compelled to wait weeks on weeks before
she could ret the right wind to carry her around

The Great Tailor In London.

The Great Tailor In London. o
from tho World.
LONDON, July 6.-Most people have
been surprised to see that Poole, the
tailor, left about 100000 behind him.
Surprised, because the celebrated tailor
lived in most extravagant way, and
must have made an enormous mass OF
bad debts. Many Of his fashionable
customers never thought OF paying him
--"base Is the slave that pays" was
their motto-and Poole could not afford
to take real live lord, perhaps bosom
friend of "the Prince" into county
court.
Poole's bad debts Of this description
would make up very pretty fortune.
He was a very good sort Of fellow,
although little inclined to put on airs
now and then. One day he was out
hunting when rather large party hap
pened TO be In the field. He went up to
Lord Hardwicke and said, with .ges-
ture Of contempt, "a fine day, my lord,
but very mixed company well,
Poole" replied Lord Hardwicke, you
know you cannot expect them all to be
tailors"
This is q good story about Poole, but
it was told more than forty years ago
about another London tailor.l
