BAYOU, SARA.

Commission III session at
Washington, not be adverse to
the interests of the govern
ment of Gov. Nichols and
with it the interests of Louisi-
ana, many questions of vital
interest to the people, will be
presented to our legislature
for consideration and cfrec-
tive action.
Prominent among them will
be that Species Of partisan
legislation that has taken
away from the people of cer-
tain incorporated towns, with
out their consent and indeed
in direct opposition to their
wishes, the right to select
their own officers, and placed
it in the hands Of the Chief
executive Of the State. Such
has been the condition Of
Bayou Sara for some years
past, that her municipal inter-
ests have really been subject
to the whims, caprices and
prejudice> Of q. l.. Weber,
exerted through the instru-
mentality Of base and venai
man occupying the guberna-
toriai chair, who lent always
Il willing ear to bis admoni-
tions. Indeed we may say,
that Bayou Sara has been
virtually at the disposal Of
Mr. Weber, officers have been
displaced and superseded or
reinstated at his beck and will,
and the known wishes Of the
community set utterly at
naught.
We remember distinctly, an
election that was held by the
citizens some years ago, not
with the idea that it was in
accordance with the then eX-
listing law, hut in the hope
that such al expression OF
preference on the part Of the
people. would guide Kellogg
in the appointments he would
make. This was a vain hope,
however, and their exp essed
will was unscrupuIously and
contemptuously thrust aside
to make way for the dictatlon
Of person totally inimical to
the intere is Of the parties
most concerned. We do not
retain in our mind all the per-
Ions who were designated at
that expression of the citizens
choice ; however, if we mis-
take not, Maj. Henshaw was,
for Mayor and Nh. B. T..
White for Constable and COL
lector. 1t is true, that Mr..
Kellogg has, at times appoint
ed gentlemen who are accep-
table to the people, but we in
sist upon the paramount prin>
ciple, that Bayou Sara should
be provided with such a chars
ter as will guarantee her the
right to direct her own imme-
diate interests and especially
those connected with ber gov
ernment, her internal laws
and regulations ana her sys-

Mrs. William Rose, of Perry street, Trenton,
left her house Monday, leaving two small CHI
dren in the room with her father, who is eighty
one years old, and who has been sick flor long
time. In a few minutes she heard the children
screaming, and, on bursting open the door, she
saw her father lying on the floor with one of the
children in his arms developed in a coat. The
childs clothing had caught fire from the stove,
and the brave old gentleman, although unable to
stand upon his feet, had thrown himself out OF
bed and rolled over on the floor until he got near
enough to the screaming child to wrap his coat
around it. The child's injuries are not serious.

The First Detective Judas Iscariot.

To the Editor Of the Ndftondl Republican:
SIR: The investigation now being conducted by
a committee OF Congress at the instigation Of the
gamblers attorney, Rev Billy Cook sug
gests many curious thoughts. The singular
condition Of affairs that has been allowed to
exist in the nations Capital, as shown by the
detectives own evidence. would certainly con-
vince all good citizens that they, as we'll as the
gamblers, constitute a nuisance that ought to be
abated if better men cannot be substituted in
their stead. The only detective mentioned in
the Bible by name was one Judas Iscariot, who
for the cake of thirty pieces of silver was hired
by the Jewish Sanhedrim to put up job on our
Saviour. He hung himself as soon as he saw
the effect of his yilIainy. All good citizens are
hoping that the Rev" B. Cooks friends will

A young man read in paper a few days ago
that If you wanted to find out If the woman you
had selected for your future spouse had q good
temper you ought to take occasion to step on her
dress, or snap the sticks of her fan, or in some
way annoy or discompose her. 'If," said the
great authority who presides over the column
of advice, '.if she betrays''no sign of ILL.,
temper she will prove q model wife," Accord
ingly the young man seized an opportunity when
his sweetheart was rugged in her most killing
array to step on her trail and pull out about
thre" yards Of gathers, with rip like peal Of
thunder, exposing about three quarters Of the
frame work that makes her dress stick out be-
hind. But instead of meeting the accident with
perfect equanimity, she turned round and
labbed her parasol in his eye, called him long
his feet sideways. He expressed himself thank
full that he didn't marry the girl before finding
out what sort Of temper she had; but the doctor
doesn't think his eye will grow out again.

How Stephen Girard Brought Bank to

The Rev ]. Mcleod, Philadelphia clergyman,
in a recent lecture to apprentices and boys in
stores, gave some interesting "reminiscences Of
Stephen Girard, whom said he, ~ knew when
a boy. He usually walked stoop-shouldered,
with his hands crossed in front, was Of middle
size and rather stout. You will see q very good
likeness of him at Wanamaker's, Sixth and
Market streets. The artist has got the expression
exactly. There is only one thing would criti-
else about the painting. 1 never saw him with
SO fine a coat on as the picture represents. He
alwaps discounted small notes; helped men who
were in business in a small way. He was always
ready to help a mechanic or honest man, though
perhaps with an eye to business and in safe way.
The Bank Of North america and others were
jealous of him. SO they said: We will not discount
bis notes. Girard was informed of it. and, of
course, was angry; so he told the cashier when
ever he got a note of the Bank of North America
to lay it aside. This was done, until after while
one day he sent a notary over with the notes OF
the Bank of North America to the amount of
s26o0oo, with a request that the amount be paid
in gold and silver. There was CONSERVATION in
the hank, and Girard was sent for and reiterated
his demand when the banks were glad to com-
prorise, and after that were ready to take his
mott e,o
