Thomas H. Nolan

/
testified that in 1876 he assisted in the prep
| aration of affidavits IN the customhouse; was
| in Iberville during the election; man
| brought the tickets up there; the names Of
| five electors had been left off; he said it made
| no difference as they were for the State at
large; talked to Kellogg, Packard and Dbl
| bic about 1t three or four days after the cleo
ton; they said we would lose the State by it,
| one or two parishes on Red river were in the
| same fix; Judge Hugh J. Campbell said the
returning board would have to throw out
| Democratic votes enough to equalize that
| action; in preparing atfidavits we made them
as strong as possible; always endeavored to
| make fair statement of the testimony of
witnesses, but would, instead OF making the
| witness say he had 'heard," we made him
say he 'knew" of the allegations made; found
| very few who had personal knowledge Of the
| occurrences related; we all somehow fell into
the same rut IN drawing b p the affidavits; was
introduced to Messrs. Hale, Stoughton and
Garfield; they were in the room where the atfi
davits were being made; they seemed
to be interested in the work going
on; they kept copies Of the affi-
davits; saw Mr.. Garfield nearly every
morning; saw Mr.. Sherman in Mr.. Cockrells
office; Mr.. Stoughton was up in the surveyors
office. where he was supervising the taking
of aftdavits for the Red river parishes; three
or four witnesses were sworn together; |
never took any pains to read over the affida-
Wits to the witnesses; they We're generally told
that the affidavits would never be published;
it was the understanding in Republican cir
Giles that the State had gone Democratic, and
they must, by afidavits and protests, make
case for the returning board to throw out
polls enough to reverse the result.

number of the members of the CLUB, and con-

Judge Kennard
testified, giving an account Of the organlza-
the last campaign; they organized colored
clubs and addressed meetings; the orgsniza
ton of regulators ante-dated the campaign
or political organization, and their object was
to prevent stealing; the best citizens took
part in tie organization of the regulators and

An Immense Workshop.

A summary of the annual report for
1877 OF the gigantic manufactures be-
longing to the renowned firm of Krupp,
at Essen, has just been published. The
refined and cast steel fabrication en-
ploys no less than s, 500 men, 29S steam
engines, with about IL 600 horsepower,
aud II steam hammers. Every "a hours
it turns out 2! German miles of railway
rails, together with corresponding
amount of wheels, springs, axles and
the metal work of the carriages. So
much is done by this famous firm in the
service of peace. For war business it
completes 800 cannon of divers caliber.
Since 1S47 it has turned out more than
Is, 900 cannon. Twenty-one thousand
gas flames are lighted every night. A
railway of 81 miles in length, employing
"a locomotives and 700 cars, facilitates
the internal intercourse, and the estab-
lishment contains A telegraph stations
within its boundary. Apart from its
stupendous manufactures, the firm en-
ploys $500 workmen in its mineral
works in coal and ore. The FORCES of
the firm are served by 700 workme1l.

houses, which are at present inhabited

with first-rate teachers.

Terrible Accident in a Paris Hotel,

A little over fortnight ago the Grand
Hotel, on the Boulevard des Capucines,
Paris, was the scene of an accident which
resulted in the instant death of two gen
tlemen and lady. Tie metallic plate
by which the piston is connected with
the elevator car became detached in some
way. AS the lift assembled the breakage
was not observed, the piston pushing up
rs usual; but when the conductor
pressed the valve to go down, the piston
descended, but the platform was dragged
up by the heavy counterbalancing
weight with an ever increasing speed
until it dashed against the root of the
fifth story. The shock was so violent as
to break the chains, and the car fell with
equal velocity back from the fifth story
to the ground floor. The three inmates
were found lifeless, but with no signs of
wounds excepting a slight trjckling Of
blood from the mouth and ears. Death
had been caused by congestion of the
brain. The lady who was killed was a
Baroness Schach, German. On learn
ing of her sad fate, Prince Hohenlohe,
the German Ambassador, fastened to
pay visit of coincidence to her husband.
That gentleman had seen the Baroness
into the elevator and preceded her by
the stairs. He had arrived on the sec
ond floor, and was waiting for her when
the elevator shot up past him like an
arrow. The two other victims were
servants of the establishment. OF these
one was an 5nspecteur, who had been
military man, and who wore a number
of medals, and the other was a young
fellow whose duty it was to control the
working of the machine.

Acting Under Excitement.

There is great fear, on the part of
some amiable persons who write for the
public, lest, in certain excited move
meats of reform, there should be those
who will take steps for which they will
be sorry. They argue, from this, that
it is not best to have any excitement at
all, and especially that nothing should
be done under excitement. It so hap
pens, however, that the path of progress
has always been marked by sudden steps
upward and onward. There are steady
grow th and steady going, it is true, but
the tendency to rut-making and routine
is so great in human nature that it is
often only by wide excitements that
whole community is lifted and forwarded
to a new level. Men often get into the
condition of pig-iron. They pile up
nicely in bars. They are in an excellent
state of preservation. They certainly
lie still, and, though there is vast
capacity in them for machinery, and cut
lery, and agricultural implements,
though they contain measureless posi-
bilities of spindles and spades-there is
nothing under heaven but fire that can
develop their capacity, and realize their
capabilities.
There are communities that would
never do anything but rot, except under
excitement. A community often gets
into stolid, immobile condition, which
nothing but a public excitement can
break up. This condition may relate to
single subject, or to many subjects.
1t may relate to temperance, or to a
church debt. Now it is quite possible
that a man under excitement will do the
thing that, he has always known to be
right, and be sorry for it or recede from
1T afterward; but the excitement was the
only power that would ever have started
him on the right path, or led him to stop
IN the wrong one. 1t is all very well to
say that it would be a great deal better
for drunkard, coolly, after quiet DELHI
Grafton and a rational decision, to resolve
to forsake his cups than to take the same
step under the stimulus of social excite
ment, and the persuasions Of compan-
| ionship and fervia oratory, but does he
ever do it? Sometimes, possibly, but
net often. Without excitement and O
sreat social movement, very little of
temperance reform has ever been effect
ed. Men are like iron; to be nodded
they must be heated; and to say that there
should be no excitement connected with
great reform, or that reform is never
to be effected through excitement, is to
ignore the basilar facts of human nature
and human history. Holland, in
4dprH Scri6ner.
