1t would hardly be denied that this pref
erence Of fellow servants in Christ is u
general duty of ChriStitns; but do we so
love Christ and the particular members of
His body thLt it is impossible to withhold
The honor? The sentiments and beliefs of
anoi her may not be preferable to our own,
and the manner of his life may not be all
hat could be desired, but there must be
that disposition and heart that will surren-
der Il good to the good of another, and
that will DO so always. Men are not to
abandon their places which have been Civ
TN them of God for The purpose of letting
others into lhem whom God does not place
there, but they must be in the hands of
God and of the church, willing to receive
I less rs well us IL greater honor rs they
may direct. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that such II heart and life possess such
beauty and character that the best love
and confidence cannCt be withheld from
hem. 1t is the character that is Christ
like, and rs such will he beloved of the
good. Ii is ours to prefer others in honor;
the rest is none Of our business No man
need fear thlt the Lord and the church
will fail to get out of him what he is worth
or can do. Some are afraid that the Lord
will pass them ut less than par. But the
Master knows HIS own business. What q
world of love and good will if this Bible
principle and rule controlled all hearts.
None great, none small; all Christ S.
Telescope.

man once hal II pond in his garden in
which he kept number Of rare and beau
tiful fish. But, much to his annoyance,
he noticed that the fish began to disappear,
and become fewer and fewer, so that he
felt sure some poacher must have stolen
them from the pond. though he could not
account for the fish bones which were
often found scattered about on the ground.
He determined to find out the cuprit, and
/ so, choosing n spot in his garden where he
could see without being seen, he began to
watch the water.
! He soon saw his flvorite dog, n bull-ter-
rier. come stealthly down to the water
edge and station himself on plank
which served a. a bridge across the pond.
Here he stood quite still. gazing most in.
teGtly into the water below, until he
canght sight of fish. Then he dived
down and soon came up again with fish
In his mouth, which he carried to the
shore and quickly devoured, returning.

TRY, try, try again."
His master was more pleased with the
dogs cleverness than vexed at the loss of
his fish and took great pains to instruct
his flvoritc in the art of fishing. He
taught him to dive down and capture fish
at the word of command. Just as many
dogs fetch sticks out of the water when
they are told. And often the dog had to
display his powers, not only when lie
wanted meal. but when his masters

I have noticed in your joarnal in
the last few months, two articles
relative to Red River freight tariff
and steamboat monopoliess While
endorsing the sentiments contained
in them, I do not see the practical
benefit to be gained by such publfca-
lions; the Pool Liners only read them
and chuckle over our inability to
help ourselves. If it is really the
desire of the merchants and planters
of Rapldes Parish to help themselves
why don't they do it! 1t is in their
power. Let there be a meeting of
the principal merchants and planters
of the Parish, in Alexandria, at any
day that may be selected, aad let
them form Board of Trade, or or
ganize themselves into a Body, and
regulate freight charges to the points
on Red River In this Parish, and
then invite the cooperation of the
merchants and planters ofAvoyelles,
Natchitoches, Vernon, Grant and
Winn-this would possibly invite
competition, or the Pool Line would
agree to carry our freight at one tar
if rate. The present rate is about
Is per cent. too. high, and can easily
be modified so as to support steam
boats.
Now is the time for this to be done,
before our Fall business sets in, and

THE TRUE ISSUE

So far ia this campaign the dis
cussion of side issues has drawn at
tention from the real, substantial and
overwhelming consideration that
should not for even moment be left
in the back grounds. The one ques-
ton which should have undivided
attention and be ever present in tue
thoughts Of every true son of Louisi-
ana, is the defeat of the radical party
at the polls in November. 1t may
come before the people dressed up in
a new garb, and under the name of
independence endorsement and
other euphonious titles, but it will
in fact, be the same old radical party
as eager as ever, for the spoi.s OF Of
fice-the same old wolf, dressed in
sleeps clothing. No party that
proposes to beat the candidates put
forward by our party, will, or can be
anything in substance, whateveri 1t
may be in name, but that same old
radical party which was our bitter
foe for eight years. The memory of
its misdeeds and the recollection of
the heroic struggle made by our PEG
pie during those weary years, should
nerve everyone to the determination
that the dearly fought victory gained
by US in 1876, shall not be lost in
1878. If we could, as we did, win
with all the odds against US then, it
would be a burning shame and last
ing disgrace for US now to let slip
the fruits of tLat victory, when the
advantages are now in our favor
In the last campaign the principal
obstacle we had to overcome, was
the lethargy which had taken pos
session of the people, owing to their
belief that we would be cheated out
of our success at the polls by the Re
turning Board. Now there is no
such fear. e
1t is of much more Importance to
the State of Louisiana and to the
people of this Parish, that we should
defeat the radical party, than that we
should have or not have Constitu-
tional Convention, and while it is
proper to agitate that question as
secondary consideration, but neither
that nor any other issue should be
allowed to divide our people or dis
turb the working harmony of our
party.
We are in hopes that the State
Convention now in session, will so
deal with this question as to make
it clearly subservient to the para
mount issue of our success, and it
shall not be our fault if the people
Of our Parish fail to appreciate the
all absorbing nature of this one issue.
