New ORLEANS, Jan. 8.--The officials Of
the usurpine Government just expiring and OF
the one recently counted In by the Returning
Board have within the present week taken some
extraordinary steps to strengthen their posi-
tons. The FIRST Of these measures, after the or
ganlzation Of the Returning Board Board Legs
lature was the seating OF several Republican
Senators and Representatives who had been
defeated, even according to the promug iton
OF Wells & Co. The second act was the uncon.
stitutional abolition OF the most imp ortant
courts In tho State, to whose Judgeships the
Democratic candidates were elected in
November by 1000 and 10000 majorities
The third act was the creation of new court,
styled the Superior Civil Court, with unlimited
jurisdiction over civil politicd, Questions, over
all corporations In the state, and over all tax
collectors outside OF this city. Kellogg has APP
pointed Shaw, a bitter partisan, Judge OF this
Court. which Is an illegal act, as, according to
the Constitution. the Judge must he elected by

The new system of volunteer out door

nay some men stopping at the prin.

roundings of the place, saw a large
flock of ducks settle down on the
farther side of Washoe Lake. A
WashOe Indian also saw the ducks.
and told the men lie would 60 after
them it they would get him gun.
In the hotel they found an old
United States musket. This they
loaded nearly to the muzzle, and
giving it to the Indian, started him
TO the lake. After he had gone the
wags who loaded the gun for him
went to the upper story of the house.
and with opera glasses watched the
progress of the noble red man. He.
at last reached the spot where the
ducks had been seen to settle down
among the tules. Presently they
saw the smoke dart from the In.
dams gun, saw him fall backward
TO the ground, and heard a tremend.
Gus roar from over the lake-a sound
as though the gun had burst into q
thousand pieces. Fearing that the
gun had indeed burst and killed the
poor fellow, the jokers began to feel
very guilty. They FASTENED from
the house and struck around the
lake. When they. had got about
half away around they met the In.
ilan coming toward them. There
was long cash across his right

How They Often Fell.

Young men often fail to get on in
this world because they neglect
small opportunities. Not bcjur
faithful in little things, thew are not
promoted to the charge Of greater
things.
Ayoung man who gets . subordi.
nate situation sometimes thinks IL a.
not necessary for him to give Il much
attention. he will wait tin ne -,
q place Of responsibility, and then he
Will show people what he can do.
This is very great mistake. What.
ever his situation may be, he should
master 1t in ell its details. and per.
form all it's duties faithfully.
The habit of doing bis work thor.
oughly aud conscientiously is what
Is most likely to enable q Young
man to make his way. With this
habit . person of only ordinary abil.
tiles would outstrip one of greater
talents who is In the habit Of sliQht.
ing subordinate matters.
But, after all, the mere adoptiom
by young man, Of this great assen.
Eial rule of success, shows him to be,
possessed Of superior matters.
