A timid young man called upon
young lady one evening; she said: Il

Judge said they had better settle the case

luncheon. Upon the court re-opening
the defendant told His Honor it was all

the plaintiff, the judge saw his personal
appearance was altered for the worse; /;
but before he could put any questions,
the defendant went on to say that they

His Honor had suggested He had been
rather rough on the plaintiff, but couldn't

The explanation was conclusive, if not
quite satisfactory to the court and the
donkey became the prize of the victor in
the fight.
The following anecdote is told of Judge
Abbott, one of the members of the House

The Columbus Herald thinks that
Hayes will come out all right if he will
"repudiate the tricksters and bargainers
who betrayed him into the southern sur

the attitude of the Administration to-
wards the South is all right but-the
terrible triclSsters and bargainers The
action of the President was right but

it, are just simply awful Xenia Tore h.

which gave Louisiana and South Caro-
lima to the White Leaguers and Rifle
Clubs, as "a brazen, shameless. unneces-

what we think about it. All right, in
deed If the abandonment of Packard
and Chamberlain was not a wrong, then
no wrong was ever committed in the

Odd Mistakes.

Col. Stuart, in his "Reminiscences of a
Soldier" tells the two following anec-
dotes:
A sentry at Chatham, when the captain
of the guard questioned him as to his or
ders, replied MY orders are, sir, if a
fire break out. I'm to take my musket
and shoot the nearest policeman" The
officer suggested he had made some mis-
take, but the soldier stuck to his text
and with II pity the policeman" the cap
tain of the guard walked on without Civ
ing the correct instruction.: "If FIRE
breaks out, fire your musket, and alarm
the nearest policeman"

Proceedings of the Police Jury,
Parish of Ascension.

CoURT-HoUsE, Jaly "a, 1877.
The Police jury met this day, pursuant
to adjournment.
Members present-R.T Hanson. President;
Henry IIeyman. Arthur Burnett, T. f. Allie
man, Joseph Ferrier, Joseph l.. Brent
Henry Mccall, Bernard Lemann, William
King.
Member absent-Hillely Rice.
On motion of Henry Mccall, the reading
of the minutes of the last meeting was dis
pensed with.
The following report of the Grand Jury
was read and received:
RECORDERS OFFICE.
The books and papers in this Office are
kept i'll Il very good order. We were in
formed by the Recorder that he was greatly
in need of parish map for the use of the
office, and we would recommend the Police
Jury to procure the same. Also Il new cell
ing for said office.
CLERKS OFFICE.
To the credit of the Clerk we find his
books and papers are kept in perfect order
The Clerk informs us that he is called upon
to furnish stationery not on Y for the ortlin-
airy business of his office, but for the use of
Attorneys in attendance upon the Courts
and for the Police Jury as well.
His compensation for services rendered
the parish being very limited We would sug-
gest to the Police Jury that small appr0-
priation for the purchase of stationery for
the Clerks office and for legal wrappers III
which documents may be neatly and secure
~ fled away would be IA measure of justice
aud propriety.
PARISH JAIL.
This institution under the management of
Mr.. Louis Lefort, Deputy Sheriff, is proper
w Ennf and fHp nTsJGnnppS Vpll tnI for
of, and seem to be well pleased. We would
recommend that the Police Jury have Il
new roof put upon the kitchen belonging to
the Jail, as it is in a very bad condition and
cannot he used for any purpose. We would
further recommend that a new and solid
fence be erected around the Jail yard as the
one which is up now is apt to fail down at
any moment.
SHERIFFS OFFICE.
In this Office we found everything correct
We would recommend that the Police Jury

THAT LEVEE LAW.
EDITOR CHIEF:


Believing from my knowledge of your dis
position and tendencies that you are friend
of the class who earn their daily bread by
honest toll and the sweat of their brows,' l
feel confident that you will allow Inc short
space in your able and valuable journal to
express my views in regard to the double
dyed imposition lately enacted by our model
Police Jury, designated levee ordinance.
Before l proceed further, l must inform
you that ar a plain, simple, untalented
laborer, and staunch Democrat. doubtless
bordering somewhat on last ditchism,) and
if my cffusion should not be as brilliant and
eloquent as others, why l trust you will
have the goodness to make every allowance
for it.
As you and every other man endowed with
ordinary intelligence will see. the laborer is
the party to bear the brunt of this new fan
gled dodge and modern monstrosity. Every
man is required TO labor so many hours per
day, regardless of time lost in obtaining
meals, etc. Then again you are compelled
the hour stipulated, in person or by proxy,
or the failure is fine and imprisonment. Fab
ulous! Was ever such thing Heard of be-
fore III the annals of poor Louisiana I'M
prisonment for debt For what! Because,
forsooth, poor, hardworking man may have
Il large family dependent upon his toll for
bread from day to day, and he goes forth to
seek the common necessities of life for them
in preference to building up the mound of
safety for the protection Of the property of
the wealthy!
Sir, do you think that we laborers can or
ever will submit to such degradation and
imposition as this No, sir, never!
/ am no alarmist, Mr.. Editor, neither do l
aim or desire to stir up hard feelings between
capital and labor, to incite - strikes" or
disturbances among our good people; but |
say this levee law is an outrage and an i'm
position, to which VIC will Herer submit.
There should be reason and logicm all things,
but this important truth seems to have been
wholly ignored by the parish, solons i'll the
creation and adoption OF their pet mOnstros-
ity. What is so formidable as the united
determination of people! Nous rerrOns
Truly yours, JUSTICE.
