Sally Salier, she was young teacher who

And her friend Charley Church, was preach

Although his enemies called him g screecher

His heart, when he sought her, kept sinking

And his eye, meeting her, began winking and

While she, in her turn, fell to thinking and

He fastened to woo her, and sweetly he

For has love grew until to a mountain it

And what he was longing TO do then he doced
In secret he wanted to speak and be spoke,

He asked her 10 ride to the church and they

They so sweetly did glide that they both

And they come to the place to be tied and

Insure Your Fortunes.

No person sensible enough to insure his
property should neglect investing 81 in the
great dollar drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company. Not only is the principle
involved in both instances precisely the
same, but the prudence displayed is equally
creditable and sensible. The parallel runs
closer than many would suppose at first
and hssty glance.
In insuring your property you consider
the chances against fire, and pay very
small sum to secure very large amount in
case chance decides against you.
In the lottery you pay very small sum
to secure b very large one in case chance
decides in your favor. So if there is any
advantage at all it lies in the latter over the
former system.
The drawing now proposed illustrates
this plainly. For 81 invested in ticket
you secure a chance of winning $4,000
another of winning $4,000, another of win.
ming $4,000, together with over 1900 chances
of winning prizes of smaller yet substantial
amounts What prudent person can afford
to pass such an opportunity by, or neglect
so obvious duty to himself or to his fam
ilyl The object is one of weighty consid
GRAFTON by all, and in that light we com
mend it.

The Democrats yesterday in their clumsy
attempt to set up new sham most effectu-
ally knocked over an old one They per-
suade McEnery to issue electoral certificates
to Tilden candidates, and straightway upon
assembling at st. Pdtrick's Hall disavow
McEnery and formally communicate with
Governor Kell rgg as the lawful executive
of Louisiana. This is gratifying neither to
McEnery, to Tilden, nor to the 80 called
presidential electors who have cast ic-
titious vote for Tilden.
President Ferry, of the United States
Senate, can not logically be expected to
pay much respect to the waste paper dis
patched hence as the product of our local
TIlden college," when even the Demo-
Gratis themselves here SO pointedly deny
the legitimacy of McEnery's claims. This
is rough deal for the unhappy pretender,
who may now say of both the real and the
rump Legislatures, "a plague o. both
your houses" In this unqualified
recognition of Governor Kellogg, the
Democrats disarm themselves of every
reason hitherto advanced to impeach the
validity of his administration. In due
time, doubtless, they will likewise repudI-
ate the pretentions of Nichols, and as they
have SO seriously prejudioed the best in
terests of the State by their contumacy dur
ing the past four years, it is to be hoped
they may abandon the vice and less tardi-
ly acquiesce in the just claims of Governor
Packard. Whether they do or do
not will not control his exercise
of authority, but the confession made
yesterday is significant of their in
ability to persist much longer in their old
inconsistency. In dIsowning McEnery,
their claims for four years and the Tilden
electors, and in recognizing Governor Kel-
logg as their only executive, they have GER
tainly done quite enough for one day. But
they had even more to do. They declared
by formal protest that United States troops
occupied the State House, and then their
organ, the Democrat, is kind enough,
though unwittingly, to expose the allega.
ton as falsehood, as it certainly was.
They have put both feet in their mouths.

The usual official reception of the Presi-

corps, and army and navy officers. There
was large attendance. The general pub

He saId RIs Lesson.

A part of ex-olerk Trezevant's mission at
the State House yesterday was visit to
Governor Kellogg. The former demanded,
as a prerequisite to the entrance of the
Democratic members, the removal of the,
police from the House of Representatives.
He was informed by the Governor that
there were no police in the chamber or
lobby of the House-only in the corridors
adjacent thereto, and not interfering with
the entrance or exit of any member.
The clerk then demanded the removal of
the military, and was informed that there
were no military on the premises. The
only exception was a single staff officer of
General Augur, who had brought com
muncation from his chief to Governor
Kellogg
Mr.. Trezevant's final demand was that
the barricades OF the State House be re-
moved. To this Governor Kellogg replied
that in the basement of the Capitol were the
offices of the State Treasurer and Auditor
only protected from the street, ordinarily,
by glass doors reaching down to the side
walk and that the boarding up of these
doors was only timely precautiOn, which
the Governor felt justified in taking in
these periiOus times.
Mr.. Trezevant having no more suggestions
to offer withdrew.

Prospects of Peace.

LONDON, January IA summary of dis
patches from the East dispel tears of i'm
minent war. Russia is no5 in eC ndition
to carry ont her threats, nor is Turkey in
condition to withhold the guarantees OF re-
forms demanded.
A DELAYED dispatch from Constsntinople,
dated Friday, December %, says it was
then believed that at Saturdays sitting OF
the conference the European plenipoten-
tiaries would make further concessions to
the Porte, and an agreement would be
reached. 1t was thought to be imprObable
that General Ignatieff would remain in Con
stantinople as Russian ambassador. After
the conference it was asserted that the
Turkish government contemplated fresh
issue of paper money to the amount OF
3 900, 900 Turkish pounds.
Hopes are entertained that an under
standing will be reached by which all inter
ests will be reconciled. The full council OF
ministers held this evening begun at seven
O'Clock and ended at ten O'Clock. The Sui
tan presided in person. This council was
followed by council Of generals under the
presidency of the cOmmander-in-chief,
which opened at half past ten o'clock and
| concluded at midnight. MidhaJ Pasha at
