that his father and grandfather had
carried it that way, and he being no
better than they, should continue to
do a. they did. Similar, or equally as
absurd, reasons are accounted as suffi-

The meeting was both pleasant and

the subject Of Hygiene. He introduce
ed statistics to prove that very large
per cent OF death is caused by igno-
rance or neglect; that what ministers
are pleased to call i'm their funeral ser
mons "The mysterious dispensation of
an ail-wise and supreme Providence, y
was the dispensation ofsuprene ig-
noranee or wilful neglect; that advice
before disease has taken deep root is
better than drugs afterward: that an
ounce of preventative is better than a
pound of cure. The essay by Miss
Cortland was beautifully written and
well read.
The reading class conducted by Miss
Bray read in a manner that did credit
to themselves and their teacher. One
feature was the language lesson con-
nected with the reading. 1t was
success.

The evident and proven good faith
of President Hayes in carrying out
his Surthern policy of pacification
and home rule does not seem to take
very deep hold on the Louisiana
Democrats sense OF fairness. Repre-
sentative Ellis, of that State, has just
sent the following despatch from
Washington to New Orleans:
l hope our people will by no act
give even coloring of the acceptance
of any decision of Louisiana matters
by the commission. We must pre-
pare To resist the decree, If it is I'M
favorable. The House is unquestion-
ably Democratic, and will never give
one dollar for the army until our
people are free. Patience and bold
assertion Of our rights will give lis
victory In the end.

He has consulted with no physician
in reference to his case, as he is not
sick, yet, every few days, strange
feeling and confusion of ideas will
ceme over him and continue for a
short time, followed by considerab lie
