Yesterday morning a stranger from up
the lakes entered a saloon on Larned street
and invited three men to drink with him.
When they had turned their glasses up he
asked what was to pay, and the barkeeper
said it was ten cents apiece.
GAN right. Four times ten are fifty six,
and here's the cash" responded the man.
The saloon keeper didn't want to take
but forty cents, but the stranger insisted
that the bill was ffty-six, paid it, and went
off happy. He returned in half an hour,
and as he re-entered the place the proprle-
tor remarked:
"Ah, thought you would soon discover
your mistake"
"Pm a poor man, but as honest as the
collie is annoying" replied the stranger.
81 didn't pay you enough. Four times ten
are sixty-three, and here's the balance of
your money"
The man wasn't drunk, and he seemed to
be so decided that the barkeeper received
the additional seven cents, saying, however,
that he stood ready to accept forty cents
for his bill. The man went out again, but
in less than an hour he came back, gave
the door heavy kick, and as he entered he
called out:
'You are a nice old swindIer, you are !!
You knew / didn't figure that right, and
yet you let me go out of here and didn't
make me gOOd~
II only wanted forty cents, mildly re-
piled the salOonist.
"And you won't get i'll see now where
was wrong. Four times ten are twenty
seven, and two TO carry makes twenty nine,
and if you don't give me back the right
change I'll make your shoulders break your
ribsw
'You are wrong again, my friend" an
swered the saloOnist. -Four times"

drawing off his coat and kicking one of his
boots across the room.
The disgusted proprietor handed him
back all his money, and was glad to get rid
of him at that figure.-Detroit Free Press.

We have just been informed of the heavi-
est yield of sugar perhaps ever known in
this or any other country. Ernest Verdun,
near Centreville, who planted one acre and
one row of cane upon a piece of ground
where bagasse had previously been thrown
and rotted, obtained five hogsheads of
sugar and five barrels of molasses from it,.
Many witnesses are ready to testify to the
truthfulness of this statement, and Messrs.

The Senate still suffers for want of
quorum.
Monday the House of Representatives
assembled, with sixty two members present.
The first business presented was the re-
port offered by Mr.. Drury, chairman of the
Committee on Elections and Qualifications,
recommending that in the contests of the
third and fourth representative districts Of
New Orleans, and of the parish of St.
Helena, the following members be declared
entitled to seats: w. L. Evans, George
Devezin, W. g. Elliott, George E. Paris and
John C. Watson.
The report was adopted by Sc to S.
Mr.. Stewart moved a reconsideration,
and said he did not think the committee
had properly brought the matter before the
House.
Mr.. Drury moved to lay his motion on the
table, and the motion was carried by 49 to
l3.
The members we're then sworn iIf.
Mr.. .RoutOn introduced bill on parochial
affairs.
The Senate joining the House in joint ses-
sion, there was found no quorum, and the
Senate withdrew.
Mr.. Jones desired five days leave of
absence, but the House considered his serv-
ices too valuable and refused.
The House then adjourned.
Tuesday sixty six members appeared.
Mr.. Lewis, of N4tchitoches, introduced a
resolution of inquiry into the personal
affairs of members, and their visits to un-
lawful assemblies, which he asked might
lie over.
Mr.. Dinkgrave objected to this as chlld'a
play, and Mr.. Lewis made no objection to
having his production smothered, greatly
to Mr.. Dinkgrave's satisfaction.
A resolution of expulsion of Mr.. LIE
Baron, of Natchitoches, offered by Mr.
johnson, of De Soto, was referred to the
Committee on Elections and Qualifications
Notices of bills to repeal act No. 8 of 1875
and the charter of the Sanitary Excavatina
Company, were introduced.
At about quarter of two the Senate met
the House in joint assembly, but nothing
was done except to appoint committee
consisting of Senators Twitchell and Stampl
and Representatives Dinkgrave, Gracien
and Drury to report rules for the govern
ment of the joint assembly.
The Senate soon after withdrew and the
| House adjourned.

Congress-.

In the United States Senate, on Monday,
the electoral bill was discussed. Senator
Morton spoke an hour against the bill, and
was followed by Mr.. Frelinghuysen in it's
favor. Mr.. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, op-
posed it. Mr.. Edmunds was anxious to
bring the measure to vote.
On Tuesday Mr.. Sherman made speech
against the bill. Mr.. Conkling commenced
set speech in its favor, which he will finish
to-day.
The Chair laid before the Senate COM
munications from the Secretary of the
Treasury, calling the attention of Congress
to the act of March 8, 1875, which directs
that officer to issue bonds bearing five per
cent interest to the amount of $500, 900 to
James B. Eads, on account of the construc-
tiOn of jetties at the South Pass of the Mis-
sissippi river.
The Secretary says he has received from
the Secretary of War a requisition for the
money, and he respectfully recommends an
appropriation of $5OO,OOO Immediately to
pay said Eads, it not being wise, in the opin-
ion of the Secretary, to increase the inter
est bearing debt of the United States for
the payment of current expenses, when
there is money in the treasury which can
be appropriated for that purpose.
On Monday the House Democrats made
what capital they could out of the Presi.
dents orders, disposing of troops in the dis
turbed sections of the South during the
late election.
Tuesday was taken up in debate on the
same subject.
If he gets an opportunity, Mr.. Paine
chairman of the House joint committee
will report the electoral bill to-day.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
At twelve O'Clock Clerk Robert F. Gui.
chard called the House to order, and re-
quested Mr.. Keeting to take the chair in
the absence of Speaker Hahn.
Some delay was caused by the absence of
q quorum, only fifty.seven members ap-
pearing at the frat roll call.
In few minutes six absent members en-
tered, and quorum was announced.
Prayer by Rev. MIR. Thompson, chaplain.
Mr.. Drury called attention of the chair to
the fact that Mr.. George E. Paris, Repre-.
sentative of the fourth district, was present,
and he was sworn in.
The reading of the journal was dispensed
with.
Mr.. Hill, of Ascension, made a correction
of Mondays journal.
Mr.. Dinkgrave introduced resolution
relative to the constitutional manner of
casting the electoral vote for President and
Vice President of the United States,
and declaring that the States having
the right to provide for the man.
ner of casting the vote, and that
having full faith and confidence in the
President of the Senate of the United
States, requests the Senators and Repre-
sentatives of Louisiana to oppose the
passage of the electoral bill in Congress.
The rules were suspended.
Mr.. Dinkgrave advocated the resolution
as the Representative of a parish of 25OO
Republican majority, and protested against
the violation of their constitutional rights.
The constitution was plain in regard to the
duties of Congress. He opposed the bill
because in his opinion it was compromise
measure, and set up one man alone to de-
clare who should be President of the United
States. He denied the right of Congress to
delegate this power.
The resolution was adopted.

The Vienna Seminal, official journal of
Lincoln parish, gives us the following to
tremble at:
We trust that our leaders in New Orleans
will resist any illegal attempt of Grant, or
any effort whatever which has for its OBJ.
ject the establishment of the Packard gov
ernment. If we are a free people, let US
assert that independence which of right be-
longs to us, No better time than now to
strike. Let every brave and noble-hearted
Loulsianian swear by the Eternal God that
Nichols shall act as Governor, and that
none shall usurp his right. He was elected
in accordance with the requirements of con-
stitutiOnal law, and we are pledged in that
law to sustain and obey him. If every
Democrat in the State felt Is we do, our
legally elected officers would rule. or Grant
would have 20 garrison troops In every
parish in the State.
