"A woman being counted out the
other morning, after debate on the
question, "Who shall rise and build
the tire?' got up and split her hus-
bands wooden leg into kindling wood
and broiled his steak with it. 1t
made him so mad that he got her
false teeth and bit the dog with them.
She cried until she had fit of hys.
terics, and then tipped out his glass
eye, and climbed upon the bed post
and waxed the glazing eye to the Gel
ling with a quid of chewing gum
Then he took her wisp of false hair
and tied it to a stick, and began
whitewashing the kitchen with it,
Then she started of to obtain a d.
vorce, but the judge decided that hi
couldn't grant divorce unless there

WE mentioned some time sine

We mentioned some time since,
that Mr.. William Harris, one Of the
best practical planters in the State,
and withal a man of will and energy.
had purchased Willow Glen, the fine
landed estate Of the late A. T. Will
liams. We have now the pleasure to
respond TO this favorable mention,
that he has steadily, since then, i'm
proved and repaired his purchase and
has it now in a fine way to once more
be recognized as a Rapides planta-
ton of old. He was here few days
since on business tour, and whilst
here purchased of Judge G. Baltic
six acres of sugar cane at two hun
bred dollars per acre, which he in
tends transplanting on Willow Glen
which with more seed cane, will be
planted this season as commence
ment to put Willow Glen back to q
sugar place. These are the moves
coming from the rightful sources,
which must ultimately make old Ra'
pides blossom like the roses Of the
GnCieR regime.

BLAINE SAYS THE PARTY IS DEAD.

There is pretty general determi-
nation to drive Mr.. Conkling out of
public life at all hazards, but when
that is done the family will be no
happier. Morgan, Dix, Evarts, Cur
tis-all want to 60 ahead, and each
has faction at his back. You can
scarcely pick out a Northern State
where a similar process of disorgan,
ization is not going on in the party.
In Indiana the Morton men and the
Harrison men are fiercely opposing
each other. In Ohio the venerable
Taft hopes to be nominated as an
opposition Republican, and his fol-
lowers and those of Stanley Mat
thews are making each other I'm
happy.
In Illinois the party some time
ago got so tired Of Logan that it did
not wait for the new policy of Hayes
to split open in the back. In Massa-
chusetts there are-reports here say
renewed evidences of a wider split
between between the Butler Simmons
and the anti Butler Simmons Repub-
licans. When Blaine was here the
other day he told his friends that the
Republican party was as good as
dead. "That man has ruined US, .
he said, nodding toward the White
House, and he thought himself lucky
in having a full Senatorial term tc
serve out. But behold, Eugene Hale
comes out as an Misunderstanding" sup
porter of the administration, and re-
port says that Mr.. Frye is of the
same mind with Mr.. Hale, and this
makes row even in Maine. - Wash

The fog of defeat which covered
the New Orleans Pacific Railway,
for few days after the vote against
the tax asked, has cleared away al

nerved to renewed action and warm

Already in New Orleans a great
many Of the old stockholders have
increased their subscriptions, in some
noted instances doubled them, and
new and impulsive canvass among
property holders is being freely and
actively had, with full assurances of
good success. In a word President
Wheelock and his able Board of Di
rectors are far from giving up and
know no such word as stop or fail.
Under these glorious tldiugs of re

not be well, just and proper, that
those of our people here, friendly to
the Road. and already shareholders,
that they initiate The example of the
friends of the road, and take some
more stock, get new ones to subscribe
and also do some doubling? We feel
sure that they will not abandon the
Road now, that it has so many chan
ces of success and completeness, and
that they will further invest in an
undertaking that ultimately must
pay and materially aid US all. Let
our people reflect on this at once, and
act with the least possible delay.
Though we are writing this hasti-
ly, and at late hour before going to
press, still we know that we do so by
the card, and as present and direct
proof we here state, that laborers and
workmen are to be Immediately
placed at a point between Lecomte
and Bayou Huff Power, and between
this Town and Lecomte; in fact the
whole line between this point and
the Atchafalaya. A lot of laborers
will be here this very day on the
Bart. Able, under one Of Maj. James
best "bosses" to 60 to work at once;
and on the return trip of the same
boat another lot will be here, under
the management Of the Contractor,
Maj. S. L. James, and soon new music
of work and progress will be heard
III our very Mast.
Let our people then wake up once
more, and move in line in defence
and aid of the only Road which can
aid US all, and bring US in direct com.
munication with New Orleans and
the outside world. Remember that
this Road is already graded, and well
graded, for 60 miles, and is under
splendid and experienced and homes,
management, and this alone should
be great incentive to the people tc
whom we are addressing these hasti
ly penciled remarks, and to whom, il
our next, we intend talking to more
freely and more at length.
