The consistory at Rome has just canonized
the second American saint Up to the pres
ent year, Saint Rose of Lima, has been the
only resident of this Continent that enjoyed
canonization. The present recipient of these
honors is to be known as Mary of the Incar-
nation. She was not native Of America, al
though most Of her life was spent and all of
her good deeds done here. Marie Guyart, now
Saint Mary of the Incarnation, was a native
Of France, who came over to Quebec in the
earliest days Of it's settlement. AS nun, she
wrought those good works among the In
dams of Canada and Northern New York for
which she was canonized a few days ago.
The news Of the success of their country
woman before the consistory naturally created
much excitement and rejoicing in Quebec,
and the event was celebrated last week with
appropriate religious ceremonies.
The same consistory that canonized Marie
Guyart had the name of Christopher Co
lumbus before it for like honor, but decided
against the claim Of the discoverer of Amer
lea, on the ground that it could not be shown
that he was as good a man as he was good
sailor.

COM II ERCIAL.

With a view Of making the Commercial
Department Of the DEMOCRAT as full. accu'
rate and complete as that Of any journal In
New Orleans, we have engaged Mr.. w. D.
Seymour Us commercial editor.
Mr.. Seymour is well known to this commu,
nifty, having been connected for twenty-five
years with the press of New Orleans. Before
the war he was for eight years co-editor and
co-proprietor with his father Col. Isaac e.
Seymour, in the Commercial Bulletin, recog-
nized. in It's time, as the great commercial
organ OF the South.

Many people have been inclined to think
the boasts Of Texas papers that over hun
dred thousand emigrants came into that
State each year exaggerations Such an influx
of population has never been known before, not
even in the West in the decade between 1910
and 1850. The report Of the Texas Land Depart
ment, however, shows that instead of this es-
innate being above, it is more likely below
the true figures The report of this depart
ment for the year ending last June shows
that 4,S76909 acres of land have been taken
under the homestead law for actual cultiva-
ton. AS this land is generally taken in lots of
100 acres, here alone are 30,430 new farms
commenced within the year.
This, however, is not all. There were sold
for cash 1901 acres, and allotted on mill
tary land warrants 127, 1850, a total of 1853, 261
acres, which would give 4614 farms more Be-
sides these there were many settlers on old
farms, and others who took up their residence
in the towns and cities.
1t is somewhat strange that while Texas
gains all this wealth and power, Louisiana,
her nearest neighbor, is almost totally neg
lected. There is some consolation in knowing,
however, that once begun, immigration
scarcely ever stops. All we need do is to
start it.

hitherto under the present constitution. The
popularity of this measure Is shown In the
fact that this amendment obtained over 80
per cent Of the votes cast and has q majority
OF at least $4,000. The Legislature Of Mis-
-sissppi, just elected, will therefore meet
but once. Virginia also, 1t appears, has just
adopted this system of biennial instead OF
annual sessions Of the Legislature, and OK
poets to save several hundred thousand dol
lars each year by it. All those States that
have tried this plan declare it not only great
economy but beneficial also to legislation.

Notwithstanding the sentimentalism OF
certain so-caled phianthropists one State, at
least, has lately adopted the whipping-post
and pronounces it great success. This
State il Nevada. The whipping-post In Ne
vada, however is not to be used for all crimes
and offenses, but Is reserved for one special
offense the one most suited to the punish
ment, wife whipping. Byaspecial act of the
Legislature these posts nave been erected in
front OF all the court-houses in the State, just
where lookers-on can get good view OF the
offender, and sherit1s have laid in a large
supply of cowhides for public USE
But, although public attention has been on
the lookout for offenders, the State of Nevada
has not, as yet, found single wife-beater.
The husbands of that State have become
wonderfully kind and attentive, and submit
most docilely to hen -pecking. The whipping
posts OF Nevada have apparently given the
women of that State more rights privileges
and power than the electoral franchise would
have done. We have no doubt whipping
posts will now become popular everywhere.

relative to the controversy between the tow

Keyser, of the new line, an injustice. The

A TOWN OF DWARFs.

A writer in the London Times describes
the effect of excessive intermarriage on the
inhabitants of Brotes, little town in the
province of santander, Spain. Until eigh.
teen or nineteen years ago the village was
quite shut off from the rest of the world
It's inhabitants, from their ever recurring
intermarriages, had become quite race of
dwarfs. On market days the priests might
be seen, with long black cl9aks and high
black hats, riding in to purchase the simple
provision for the weeks consumption, men
of little intelligence and no learning, sprung
from the lowest ranks. About eighteen
years ago the Galician laborers, or Galie-
goes, from the mines of Galicia, swarm led
into the town for lodging, &C., and
since their colonization the populati ION
has increased in strength, stature, education,
intellect and morality. Their intellects also,
however, proved intellects which have been
stunted, dwarfsd and ruined by their fire.

NOVEL LOCONIOTION.

It is not hard to ride camel "a witty
writer says), but the process has some sweet
surprises for the novice. The camel lies
upon the ground with his legs shut up un-
der like jackknife. You see yourself in
the broad saddle and cross your legs in
front of the pommel. Before you are
ready something like private earthquake ke
begins under you. The camel rises his
hind quarters suddenly and throws you for
ward upon his neck, and before you re-
cover from that he straightens his knees
and gives you jerk over his tail, and
while you are not at all certain of what has
happened, he begins to move at that dis
located walk which sets you into a see-saw
motion, waving backward and forward in
the capacious saddle. Not admirng this
movement you courageously lash the. beast
with your koorbash to make him change his
gait. He is nothing 10th to do it, and at
once starts into high trot, which sendsyou
a foot into the air at every step, bobs you
from side to side, drives your backbone in
to your brain and makes castanets of your
teeth. Capital exercise. When you have
enough of it you pull up and humbly in
quire what is the heathen method Of riding
dromedary, fully convinced, by this time,
that Christians do not know everything. -

MANY attempts have been made to OBJ
lain paint solvent equal for all conditions
and circumstances, but not with the success
desired. Recently, however, something
has been brought forward in this line, in
England, which is said to fully answer the
purpose. The solution is simply applied
to the paint with brush, and is then left
for short time, after which the paint may
be scraped off with ease. The number Of
coats of this solution depends upon the num-
Der of coats of paint-four, which may be
be applied within a quarter of an hour or SO
of each other, being sufficient in the
most hardened casesit is said. This solution,
which, it is alleged, causes no injury what"
e-er to the hands or to the brushes, is quite
Inexpensive and without smell.
