for q short time and on returning found
her house locked 10. and that portion
Of her furniture had been put out on the
sidewalk, the best articles, as sne was
informed, having been taken posses
sion OF
BIZ HER LANDLORD,
| e German. Calling on her landlord Tor
ceaainc' ma was told by him that he had
seized Enc pieces Of furniture which
/ were missing In payment Of his rent.
/ Ia answer to the colored woman's re-
EXAMINATIONS against such an illegal
nroeca1ing he Is said to have replied
/ that things were changed now, and that
Gov. Nichols had issued an order au-
thorizing all landlords to take their
nick out OF their tenants furniture
when they failed to pay their rents.
The occurrence having been communi-
Gated to the husband OF the lady spoken
OF, Ia White Lacquer, by the way), after
quieting the mind OF the .colored wo-
man, he took Immediate steps to redress
the wrong. ii wrong there was. Our
lady friend had not at last accounts
heard Of the result.
The one case, as we have said, shows
how the minds Of these poor deluded
people have been worked upon during
Tie past 6lRuC years Oh
RADICAL DOMINATION.
The other case, which, it is believed,
will prove to be as related by the col
ored washerwoman, shows how some
unprincipled men will unscrupulously
use the name OF the Governor Of the
State to crafty their appetites for q few
dollars. It is pleasant to know, how
ever, as was evidenced in this case, that
q n ~, mill l,o Found voaI ", OF
a moments notice to correct any such
attempts to rob the colored people or to
create a prejudice among them against
the government which they have been
assured will protect them in all their
legal rights.
Speaking Of Gov. Nichols reminds us
that on the twenty fifth instant, the day
when the government Of his Excellency
became an indisputable fact, there we're
born several children, Or more, in this
city. Patriotic fathers and mothers, we
are told,
IMPROVED THE OCCASION
by naming their newborn after the
Governor. As luck would have it, where
the new born was a girl, they found no
difficulty in this matter as they might,
had the Governor been called by any
other name. With slight variation the
girls became for life Frances Nichols
Smith, or Brown, according to circum-
stances, and proud Of the achievement
the bosom Of each father and mother
swelled with joy.
There was one case, however, which
for moment seemed fraught with in
surmountable obstacles and came near
deranging the minds Of two fond pa
rents. 1t was a case of twins-of the
male sex. After bordering over the
important matter for some time Ad
ministrator Chas. Cavanac was called
ing that one should be called Francis
Nichols and the other l.. A. Wilt.
What would have been the advice Of
our friend Cavanac had the
TWINS BEEN GIRLS
we are unable to conjecture.
All this is very pleasant. But every
we are correctly informed one OF these
interesting events came very near sever
ing tho tender bonds of matrimony Of
one of the most loving young couples in
our city.
We are not informed of the length Of
duration OF the discussion, but it was
hot, and at times ferocious. II boy,
maintained the mother, he must be
named after her father; If girl, after
the mother. me father argued strenu-
ously III favor Of his side Of the family.
1t was boy. It took a family meeting
to solve the difficulty.
BY mere coincidence the father Of
the family claimed that he was as much
the head of the family as Governor
Nichols was, on that very day, the head
Of the political body known as the CON-
Of Louisiana. His mother
In law proposed to compromise on the
name Of Francis Nichols for the baby,
which was accepted, and a scandalous
divorce case was averted.
