Jumping at o,,clssstors.

Don't do it. When you commence
reading an article, read it through. As
sertions, apparently leaning to one side
of the question in the beginning, may be
modified or explained before the close in
such way as to put an entirely different
face on the matter. The Dutch Justice
was satisfied to give his decision when he
had heard the evidence produced by the
plaintiff in the case, without waiting for
the story of the defendant. A cattle
doctor in Massachusetts,, who was called
in the dusk of the evening to prescribe
for sick COW, entered the stable and
commencing his physical diagnosis in the
manner usual with quacks. He took
hold of the tail, exclaiming, "Just as
expected Horn-ail is the trouble. Here
are all the symptoms: Softening of the
tail-wasting of the bone. No mistak-
ing the cause of the difficulty, this time"
Going thence to the head of the animal,
and attempting TO take her by the horn
to further diagnose her, he found she
was mulley

The Civil and Military Gazette has
the following: There is Russian lady
in London at present who has perhaps
done more to promote the Cars pur-
poses in Eastern Europe than his whole
army of diplomatists. | am precluded
from mentioning her name, but it is open
to me to state that the deft intriguante is
singularly accomplished, very pretty,
extremely well-bred, apparently wealthy,
and possesses the most fattering tongue
in the world. 1t is said that the famous
pamphlet of Mr.. Gladstone was good
deal due to her instrumentality, and that
she also completely charmed Lord Gran
vile, who, as all men know, is the "my
dear Granville" of Mr.. Delane, the
Times editor. She is likewise reported to
have essayed her destinations on Lord
Beaconsfeld, but the willy Benjamin was
not the sort of man" to be tickled by
fair fingers into betraying English inter
ests. He afterwards declared that madam
was charming, very charming, but
rather too much inclined to talk poll
tics" Mr.. Gladstone, on the contrary,
was bagged at once. His emotional ma
ture proved very susceptible to the
glamour of beauty pleading for the cause
of humanity, and he consequently suf
fered himself to fail into the trap, so fal
at least as carrying on long and highly
interesting correspondence with the fail
Russian. And it is rumored in Pal
Mail end whispered in st. James Street
that she now holds over his head, ia ter
rorem, certain letters which do more
credit to his heart than to his head.

they are of Muscovite lineage.

THE FAIR eek.

FANS made OF real flowers are now
carried by ladies to places of amuse-
ment, and serve three-fold purpose
tanning, Irritation, and fragrance.
SERvANTGIRLDoM now carries killows
of blue ribbon, in delicate shades, on
her spring bonnet, while, obedient to the
caprices of fashion, the mistress appears
in yellow and scarlet.
HIP-pocKErs for lap dogs are the lat
est innovation in ladies' dresses. With
dog in her pocket, seal on her back,
a bird in her hat, and kids ON her hands
and feet, the well dressed lady is little
short of walking menagerie.
A WOMAN may with impunity neg
lect to make any gravy to the ham but
she is lost should she forget that crimson
roses are worn with light evening
dresses, and violets with dark street cos
tunes.
The Ohio State Journal tells of vii
lage clergyman who, visiting parish
Toner suffering from lingering disease,
expressed to his wife hope that she
sometimes spoke to him of the future.
az do, indeed, sir" was the reply.
"Often and often | wake him in the
night and says: John, John, you little
think of the torture as is prepared for
you"
A WOMAN is either worth good deal
or nothing. If good for nothing she is
not worth getting Jealous for; if she be
true woman she will give no cause for
jealousy. A man is brute to be jeal-
Gus of good woman-a fool to be jeal.
Gus of worthless one; but is double
fool to cut his throat for either of them

MUSICAL Trade Review; A sweet little
creature sat next me at the first recita
of Chopin's music, given by Madame
Essipoff. During the pathetic Marcht
Funebre from the Sonata, Opus 30, hel
attention was fixed, as if the music had
entranced her very soul. Her eyes glis
tened with emotion and her whole face
was expressive of admiration and excite
ment. When the pianist had finished
the gentleman who was with this swee
little creature turned to her and said
Chow beautiful p To which she replied
Eyes, indeed; doesn't it fit her exquis
itely in the back? How much do you
suppose it cost yard ?"

In ancient Rome, in the period of
from two to five hundred years after the
Christian era, the average duration of
life in the most favored classes was
thirty years. In the sixteenth century
the average longevity in Geneva was
twenty-one and one-half years. Between
1874 and 1888 it increased to nearly
forty and three-fourths. In England the
average life of annuitants in 1898 was
twenty-six years, but in 1890 it had in
creased to thirty-three. The average in
this country is over thirty-fve, and is
slowly increasing.

A FIRM of car builders in Albany have
just finished palace car for wealthy
lady of that city. When the gauge of
all the roads of the country has been
made uniform, it will be as much part
of the property of well-to-do people to
have car of their own as it is now to
have a coach and horses. Then rich
man can have his car attached to any
train and 60 whithersoever he likes.

had been prepared, says Edward
King, writing to the Boston Journal, l
know not by means of what absurd
prejudice, to find in the vicinity of the
Pruth and the Bessarabian frontier
nothing but small and miserable villages,
in which comfort was impossible.
was therefore considerably surprised
when / was informed in Bucharest that
Jassy was town of ninety thousand in
habitants, with good hotels, fine
mansions, and well paved streets. Ar
irving there after about seventeen hours
of railway travel, found all these state-
ments pleasantly confirmed. Jassy is
built on the top aud along the slopes of
range of hills which in summer are
said to be remarkably beautiful, but in
the bleak, rainy weather of to-day they
we're somewhat dreary. disembarked

those | had seen in the peasants villages
A Russian mujik, dressed in an immense
great coat, descending to his colossal
boot heels, with girdle about his waist
and cap drawn down to the bridge of
his nose, escorted me to his droskhy,"
as the carriages are called even on this
side of the frontier, and was soon wheel
ing me through muddy pools in the
lower part of the town. As soon as we
reached the hill ] discovered that tae
streets of upper Jassy were paved with
asphalt, and were rs clean as those of
Paris. The long, straight roads were
filed with droskhys rafting to and fro,
and with country vehicles, the high
wooden arched collar above the horses
neck proclaiming the Russian manu-
facture of the wagons. At every corner
/ saw the Jew in his gaberdine, with his
black skull cap coquettishly perched on
top of his gray hair. The Jews in
Roumania are one of the most important
elements of the population, and | shall
have something to say of them in a
future letter. They have been greatly
abused here-even latterly-and they do
not look upon the coming of the
Russians with any marked degree of
pleasure. The Turk has generally shown
himself civil to the Jew, but not
because of desire to be civil; rather
because of general negligence.

LOVE SONGS.

draw each day some happy thong
From my rich memories OF thee,
As Orient pearls the driver brings
Up from the gem-producing sea.
Each night pass the gates Of sleep
To walk thy gracious form beside,
As II one entered Paradise,
And met the soul of his dead bride.
So is my life, by love OF thee,
Made night and day alike divine;
Like some rude, worthless cup Of clay
Filled to the brim with priceless wine.
SPECIFICS through all the cheerless night,
Stood Memnon's statue but at morn
The stone lips hailed the Day-god bright
With sounds Of love and rapture bofa.
10 here an image Of my heart,
That has no voice bereft Of thee;
But into songs Of Joy must start
If thy sweet presence shines ON me.

gone too far to be checked The forces of
Packard and Kellogg were 50 demoralized
that they were never after an obstacle in the
way OF the people doing whatever they de-
sired. 1t rendered the bloodless victory Of
tho 9th of January, 1877. possible. That final
triumph of law and order and liberty. the
sweet fruits Of which we now eniov. was won
on the 18th Of September. 1874.
No people can perish or become degraded
until they lose confidence in themselves in
each other, and in human virtue: until their
moral tone and self-respect are gone. Pre-
vious to the 18th September. 1874 IT was to
this condition we were tending. Everywhere
were heard expressions of mutual diatr,1st
ana fofeboding. No one seemed TO have faith
IN anything. Each man doubted the fidelity,
patriotism and courage of his neiphbor
such sentiments were sappng the very
foundations of society. Distrlst begets
heaehery. Faith and trust beget fidelity.
Such s the rapid degeneracy Of mutual faith
lessness, that but for something to check
IT, and in sharp and decisive way
to restore confidence in each other. the peo-
pie OF Louisiana would soon have become
so demoralized 1t would have been impossible
to have saved them In several generations.
The events of the Fourteenth of September
arrested this downward tendency and gave n
tremendous impulse upward and onward.
Faith In each other and in human virtue,
patriotism and courage, and all that goes to
make noble manhood, was ut once restored.
Every one thereafter felt that there are prin-
eiples worth dying for and friends and
people worth living for. Thenceforth, in
way that had never before been true, each
man felt glad that his lot was cast with such
a people Thenceforth the proudest distinc-
ton in every land. where the history of Lou
isiana shall be known will be TO be called u
Louisianan.
