three hundred from the Bureau OF
Printing and Engraving alone-very
many of them with families, and nearly
all of them wholly dependent on the
salary they received to keep the wolf
from the door. An attempt is being
made to employ such as will go into
service as servants in place of the
colored cook, chambermaid and gen.
eral waiter. Such an alternative is
perhaps better than starvation but
to those who have knowledge of the
spirit of caste animating the generality
of those who employ servants here at
the National Capital, the humiliations
in store for such as accept servants

be readily appreciated.

To any one unacquainted with the
politics of st. Charles, the spectacle
afforded BY the Democrats on last
Tuesday in firing salute in honor of
our Republican representative, ex-
Governor Hahn, would prove both
uprising and curious. HoBoring, at
the same breath and time, the Dem
ocratic Governor and Republican
member of the House, is indeed
queer commentary upon the times
we live in. However, we are glad to
say that between the two parties in
this parish there is but one difference

ciples of both are the same--eqnality

GRowING Omit is the solemn
thought connected with middle life
tha: life's last business is begun in
earnest and it is then midway be-
tween the cradle ard the grave that a
man begins TO rnarvle that he let the
days of youth go by so half enjoyed.
1t is the pensive autumn feeling it is
the sensation of half sadness that we
experience when the longest Gay of
the year is past, AMI every day that
follows is shorter, and the light faint
er, and the feebler shadows tell that
nature is fastening with gigantic
footsteps to her winter grave. So
does man look back upon his youth,
When the first gray hairs become
visible, when the unwelcome truth
fastens itself on the mind that man
and that the sun is always westering,
he looEs back on things behind
II hen we were children we thought
as children. But now there lies bo
fore us manhood, with its earnest
work, and then old age. and then the
grave, then home There is second
youth for man, better and hnlier than
his first, if he will look on, and not
look back.-F. ". Robertson.

PIGS Us. SNAKES

A farmer living on the west side
of the OHIO river, in walking about
his farm, discovered nest of
rat.lesnakes in the hollow bark of
an old tree, about which several
large pieces of rock lay scattered.
Having heard that pigs were hos
tile to snakes of all kinds, and not
caring to attack the nest himself
he thought be would try the expert
ment, and see a fight. He drove
several pigs in the vicinity of the
nest and watched the result. The
pigs soon seemed to scent the rep
tiles, and commenced roofing
eagerly about the spot. ID an in
stant half dozen of the vicious
serpen,s emerged from their hiding
places to attack the intruders, wh'
manifested jealous disposition to
give battle. A snake would real
himself to the height of the back
of the pig, shake his rattle an6
plunge his fangs into the anima
with lightning like celebrity, anc
then dart away pursued by th'
pig, who dexteriously received th'
sting upon the fieshy part of th'
jaw.
Over and over again this would b
repeated, until the pig got his for
foot upon the snake, when he wonl'
deliberately rip the reptile in twai
and devour him. This slaughte
continued until all the snakes wer
disposed of, when the pigs grunte
contentedly, and without any signs {
being disturbed, " added off in scare

known to you. ] saw her at the
races in Baltimore, and afterwards
had the pleasure of dining with her.
She is a Miss Fisher, of North
Carolina, and spends her winters
in Baltimore with her aunt and uu-
Gle, Judge and Mrs. Hairston, who,
before the war, were reckoned the
richest people in the Tar State,
and are even now enjoying the in
come from a million. Miss Fisher
is poor, and deserves more credit
and praise than my pen can carry.
She aids in every way her fathers
family, which is large. Indeed,
understand she is their mainstay.--
She is about Twenty-Five, of medi-
um height, with slight, graceful
figure, which she dresses with ex-
quisite taste. Her small. shapely
head is covered by profusion OF
wavy, ripping, brown hair, done
mp after carelessly artistic fashion.
Her features are regular, small and
very pretty. Her eyes are large,
lustrous and of very uncertain
color. AT the races when | saw
her in the stables and watched her
as with her uncle she passed among
the horses, carcssing and patting
them, her eyes looked Of a lustrous
black. All dinner she was talking
with a well meaning but silly man,
and her eyes were of a dead gray.
Later on she found a congenial
spirit and her. eyes were Of :,
most tender blue. She is gentle,
extremely graceful and very shy

her writings, on which subject she
is painfully sensitive. Her voice
is like that of all Southern women.

well, and when warmed up to the
subject, grows positively eloquent.
She makes but little from her books.
There is quite demand for them,
but friend told me the Appletons
bought out the copyright of each
for low figure, and that was the
end of it. She spends her sum

her uncle and aunt, who are devo.

mense naval, as we'll as land forces,
it possesses. He says the attack
of England, or Great Brittian, on
Russia, is to be great and furious,
bu, finally unsuccessful tor Russia
will move right on and more than
gain her purpose. She will con-
quer Asia, Miner and the Turkish
Empire generally. and will advance
on Palestine, and "shall have
power over treasures of gold and
silver, and over all the precious
thing of Egypt" While engaged
in these conquests, "tidings out of
the East and out of the North

from the East and the North NAV
be the news of the disaffectiops of
the Papal power on account of the
superiority which Russia gives to
the Greek Church, and on account
of holy places in Judea. The
words tidings seems also, he SAYS
to indicate great instructions.
He is positive that the Russian
Empire has two great works to do;
The first is to destroy the Roman
Church in Europe, and the other
to attack the United States. He
also states in his book that before
the war begins for the conquest
and annihilation Of Turkey, the
French people would establish a
republic and assist the United
States at the time Russia makes
the attack. According to this
writer, the present war iu Europe
will become general, ard be the
most fearful the world has ever
witnessed. and is to take place be-
fore the 18th day of the year 1878.

,ine, we walked into the supper

iuIucS W0 WoIhOu tAVO Su0 CuPPoA
room.
This incident will remind some
persons of an occurrence which
has heretofore been made public,
that happened between him and
General Scott. At the Harrisburg
Convention, by the efforts of Gen
eral Scott's friends il part at least,
Mr.. Clay had been superseded aud
Harrison nominated. Mr.. Clay
regarded General SEQ t as to some
extent responsible for this. On
entering room one evening where
General Scott and some parties
were seated at table playing
whist. Clay grasped SCOTS should
er with such violence that the Gen
eral exclaimed, 'Mr. Clay you are
hurting my wounded shoulder
'Ah, said Mr.. Clay, 4 always be-
lieved, Scott, that there was bad
place in you Scott instantly
sprang up, but the interference of
friends present, at once reconciled
them.
Mr.. Clay was so fine an actor
when he chose to be one, that it
vas sometimes not easy to decide
whether he was in earnest, or
merely playing for amusement.
The following story was told me
by one who said he was present on
the occasion. After the first bank
bill had been passed, and while
there was suspense and anxiety
felt as to whether President Tyler
would sign it or not, there was a
social gathering of many promi-
nent Wings. to which the Presi-
dent had been invited. He did
not arrive until the guests general
ly had assembled. On seeing him
enter, Mr.. Clay met him in the
middle of the room, and as he con.
fronted him, said 10 a tone loud
enough to be heard by all present
Mr. Presidet, show us your hand
what are you fol?' Mr.. Tyler
seemed disconnected and embar-
rassed by such a sudden ASSAULT,
aud appeared at a loss as TO his
reply. MIR. Clay alter enjoying
his confusion for few moments,
suddenly turned to the left. aud
waving his hand towards the side
board said, will you take wine or
brardy?'
No one could be more graceful
and urbape in manner than Mr..
CioJ oe1nlly WAS nor WAS anV one
more ready to correct a wrong, II
such had occurred. ills general
manner was that of a man perfect
Iy brave who had nothing to con.
ceal. His knowledge Of character
was hot only remarkable but he
had n II ost wonderful intuilive
perception of the then state OF
mind of the person he met, and
hence he at once knew how to ad-
dress him so us to made the most
agreeable impression.
