A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-A true
appreciation of the beautiful. induces
us to publish the following paragraph
from an obituary notice in the Car
roll Conservative, of a lovely child,
likened to a flower transplanted from
earth to heaven:
"Far above those starry lights, so
soft aud lovely in the dews of eve, the
Great Unseen has a garden of his own,
in the midst of which be hath built his
~palaces. Thence, he looks forth
through the scenes of the universe,
and whenever he sees a flower more
lovely than the rest, He gives his an
gels charge to go and transplant it,
and grace His own garden with it; that
it may unfold it's beautiful petals an
der the Heavenly dews, and kiss the
sweet smile of the Great Fathers love
Thus tits, that as the ages roll on, the
sweetest flowers of the Universe are
from time to time, gathered and
grouped in the gardens Of the Lord.
and bloom in beauty, and in #lovelines'
in the midst of the scenes where Jeho

How Iowa Become a Territory.

Ever since the world began woman
has played a leading part in all. great
historic events American history il
no exception to the rule. The honors
which fall TO Mollie Stark, Aunt Bailey
and numerous other women, are well
known Later on it is recorded that
the Quakeress, Rebecca Wright, help
ed gallant Phil Sheridan to win the
day at Winchester. Woman has been
the central figure in poetry and song
for ages, and moulded with her deft
finger kingdoms and crowns, and un-
made them as well. Sl,eShas been an
important factor in the legislation Of
the country, and to the wiles Of a wo-
man is ascribed the existence of Iowa.
The bill for the formation OF the terri
tory of Iowa was prepared and pre-
sented to Congress by George w.
Jones. Among it's most bitter oppo-
nents was John c.. Calhoun, then in
the zenith of his power, and the mas
ter mind Of Congress. 1t soon became
apparent to MIR. Jones that Calhoun
would crush his bill, and he therefore
resorted to strategy. Mr.. Jones was
then in his prime and a mansefs attrac.
tive presence, added to which were
graces Of manner, which gave him
great prominence in society. He was
a great favorite with the ladies. There
was at Washington a lady who was a
special friend OF Mr.. Calhonn-in fact,
she had him con a string" rs it were.
Jones decided to pull the string. He
at once played the agreeable to the
lady, and soon, by his gallautry, wo,
from her the expression one day tina,
she hoped something might happen
that she could reciprocate the fayors
That was Jones' opportunity. He in.
formed her she could, and how. HI
explained to her his territorial bill
and how anxious he was to succeed
with it, but lie feared the opposition o
Calhoun, who would kill it if he hat
the opportunity. The woman entered
into the matter with zest, and told Mr.
Jones to send her his card when III
bill came up, and she would take car
of Mr.. Calhoun. When the bill wa
taken up Mr.. Jones SEMI his casd t

Mr.. Calhoun was seen going out Of til
hall, and did pot return for severa

INGENIOUS USE OF KIsS.-The Au-
vergnat is the Paddy of France; but
like the Irish Paddy he sometimes re-
deems his character Tor native stnpidl.
ty and bellies his reputation. A water
carrier, born and bred in Auvergne,
bnt established in the French capital
for the last year or two, reck0ned
among the customers whom lie sup
piled with their duly water a young
married couple, whom neither by
threats no e~ntreaties could ie succeed
in inducing to settle a long standing
account. The invariable excuse with
which the young wife who was her
own servant, put him off, was that her
lord was out. The -Auversnat, a pa
tient fellow, accepted the excuse for a
time, but at length patience being OK
hausted, and his faith in the lady's d.
urnal assertion diminished, he deter
mined to try a little plan of his own for
bringing confusion upon the heads OF
his debtors. A few mornings ago, at
ter replenishing the domestic fountain,
he asked Madame If Monsieur was
within. Most annoyingly, "Monsieur
has just gone out to the c%oiffeur's," re-
piled the lady calmly; but the very
next moment the report of formida-
BILE kiss brought soidisant absentee be-

objected the A%uvergnat, who speedily
paciie& the tempest he had raised in
the mafital breast by explaining that
the kiss had been bestowed upon his
own horny hand, aud not on the lady's
ruby lips. The result of the ruse was
that the little account which had ne.
cessitated it was promptly settled.

ISL REPRESENTED.

MONROE, June 15.-The Ouachita
Parish Democratic Convention met to-
day in Trenton; seventy five delegates
in attendance, representing all the
wards. S. D. McEnery was unani-
mously elected chairman. A series of
resolutions were adopted, four of which
are as follows:
First-Ihat Francis T. Nichols, by
his prudent and statesmanlike man.
agement Of the many delicate issues
growing ont of the successes of the
party in 1875, and resulting in the
firm establishment of the peoples gov
eminent in Louisiana, deserves the
gratitude Of all Louisianians. That
his wisdom, justice and modera-
ton in the administration Of his high
trust is id strict accord with the prin-
ciples announced by him in accepting
the nomination. for Governor, has won
for him the respect of all as the Gov
e,nor OF tl,e~whole people ufLouisiana,
aud entitled him to the support of all
who love good government; and that
the Democracy Of Ouachita are opposed
to any policy that would in the reno
test ann endanger the tenure OF
his Office during the term for which
the people have chosen him.
Second-That while the high expec.
~tations and hopes of the people, after
SO many years of Radical misrule and
corruption in Louisiana, may not have
been fully realized by the late legisla'
ture, yet through the legislation o
1877 and 1873, many useful and eco
nomical lawsshave been enacted, ant
wholesome reform entered upon whicl
operate great relief to the people, Sc
cure a more just and prompt admins
~tration of the laws, and a higher ton
of public morals; we therefore cordial
ly recommend that the people q
Ouachitazvote for the amendments t
the constitution as decided improve

Third-That we deprecate the agi
tstion Of the question of calling a con
, stitutional convention 10 the early fu
= ture as unnecessary, imprudent an
t periIons to the cause of good goveru
e ment in Louisiana, and the success
