get old enough, while mono Of mino can

"Oh, that's simple enough. marry
my girls Off on the buckwhcat straw
principle"
"But what is TINT principle 2 never

"Well, / used to raiso good deal OF

how to get rid OF tho straw. Nothing
would cnt it, and it mas :, great bother

stacked my buckwheat straw nicely and
built high rail fence around it. My
cattle, OF course, thought it was some
thing good, and Mt once tore down tho
fence and began to eat tho straw. I
logged them AWAY and put up the fence
few times, but the more drove them
away the moro anxious they became to
cut the straw, and cat it they did, every
bit of it. AS said, 1 marry my girls

present political weights in Louisiana.
The Sentinel says: Henry Casey, tho
tonsorial artist Mt the corner, has fol.
lowed his profession all over the United
States, and i'll his career has met and
shaved numerous distinguished individ-
unls. While engaged in the barber
shop attached TO the st. Charles Hotel,
in Now Orleans, the notorious Senator
Pinch1eck was fellow workman in
the same establishment, and was noted
among his chums M smart, unscrup-
ulous fellow, and withal No. poker
player. His scheming brnin was occu-
pied ut that timo by various projects,
such as blnckmGiling Creole girls. rop.
ing strangers to tho gambling bells,
and ringing in cold decks on his asso-
ciates. The close Of tho war, and tho
consequent chaotic stnte Of political af-
fairs i'll Louisiana, gave him wider
field for the display OF his talents, MI
