Packard Retircs.

Packard in retiring from the contest in
Louisiana wrote a letter bitterly review
ing the course pursued by the general
government and concluding as follows: {:
Had the General Assembly continued in
session in the State House I should have
deemed it my duty to have asserted and
defended the government to the last, not
withstanding the withdrawal of the troops,
but with the Legislature disintegrated and
no prospect of present success, cannot
task your tried fidelity by asking you to
longer continue to aid me in the struggle
l have thus far maintained. therefore
announce to you that am compelled to
abstain for the present from all active as
scrtion of my government. waive none
of my legal rights but yield only to SUI
perior forces. I am discouraged by the
fact that one by one the Republican State
governments of the South have been
forced to succumb to force or fraud or
policy.
Louisiana, the first State rcllabilitatcd
after the war is the last State whose gov
crnment thus falls and believe it will
be among the first to uprisc itselfagain to
the place of equal and honest, representa-
ton. advise that you maintain your
party organization and continue to battle
for the rights of citizenship and free gov
ernmcnt. We strive for these and not for
man or men. 1t grieves me beyond cx-
preston that the heroic efforts you have
made and the cruel sufferings you have
undergone to maintain Republican prin-
ciplcs in Louisiana have had this bitter
Al T. H.

passed through tender my heartfelt
thanks and to all cousel peace, patience,
fortitudc and firm trust that eventually
right and justice will prevail.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society
Reports.

The reports which arc published in tie
Ecening Post to-day with respect to tic
condition and management Of the Equita-
bic Life Assurance Society scarcely need
extended comment. 1t is manifest that
il. these reports VIC have an exact and full
setting forth of all tho facts which can
possibly concern the public; that there has
been no disposition on the part OF the So
cicty's officers to shum examination or to
make conccalmcnt; and that the voluntary
committee. from which one of the reports
comes, have not hcsitatcd to criticisc tree
ly whatever they have found in the man
a.cmcnt deserving of Censure. In
word, the reports arc what they ought to
be. and they will have the fullest weight
with the public.
The conclusion to be drawn from them
is that the company is entirely sound, and
that it has never been otherwise. They
serve, even at time Of much uncertainty
and suspicion, to restore full confidence in
the society, whose management is thus
cxllipitcd to the public: and the manage
ment we must confess seems to have been
characterized by great enterprise and en-
crgy coupled with much skill. Even the
large expenditure on the buildings Of the
company in New York and Boston is
found to yield combined return of 5.12
per centum net. Prcsuming that every
body has read the reports it is not ncccs-
sary to quote from them here. but they
must be very gratifying reading to the
policy holders. who thus find their trust
has not hccn misulaccd

Perfect Faith.

John b. Cough related the following
pathetic episode in lecture at St. Louis
recently:
A story was told of a street boy in
London who had had both legs broken
by dray passing over them. He was
laid away in one of the beds of hospital
to die, and another little creature of the
same class was laid near by, picked up
with famine fever. The latter was al
lowed to lie down by the side of the lit
tie crushed boy. He crept up to him and
said:
"Bobby, did you never hear about
Jesus2'
mo, I never heard of him."
"Bobby, I went to mission school once,
and they told us that Jesus would take
you to heaven when you died, and you'd
never have hunger any more, and no more
pain, if you axcd him."
II couldn't ask such a great big gen
tleman as he is to do anything for me.
He wouldn't stop to speak to boy like
me-"
"But he'll do all that if you Ak him."
"How can l Ak him if I don't know
where he lives, and how could get there
when both my legs are broke?"
Bobby, they told me at mission school
as how Jesus passes by. Teacher says he
goes around. How do you know but
what he might come around to this hos.
pital this very night? You'd know him
if you was to see him."
But I can't keep my eyes open. My
legs feel so awful bad. Doctor says III
die"
Bobby, hold up your hand, and he'll
know what you want when he passes BY
They got the hand up. It dropped
Tried again. It slowly fell back. Three
times he got up the little hand, only to
letit fall. Bursting into tears, he said:

An Unexpected " Bump"
From the Louisville Commercial.

From the Louisville Commercial.
\ good old colorcd man named Uncle
Jim Hill set himself up the other day as
phrenologist, and a barber was his first
subject. He placed the barber on a chair,
felt of his head for a long time, and then
remarked: William, you is too san
guinc. When you lend money you ex-
pcct it back. You are bilious. You
want to be honest, but you hasn't the
necessary character; you isn't hopeful: {:
you is bowed down with grief most of dc
time; you has an ear for music; you is dc
right sort of man to wheel coal down
hill for big wages" William rose up,
pitched Uncle Jim over the cook-stove
and under the bed, and split a panel Of
the door as he went out: The aged
phrenologist was at the City Hall the
ucxt evening to get advice from the po-
lice. and when advised to go out Of the
trade replied: "Seems like I shall have
to, for 1'ze getting too aged to be bumped
over stoves"
