The Republicans have not been slow to take
advantage of the bad blood between the two
wings Of the Democratic party in this city
the regular organization and the Citizens
Conservative Association. They have seen the
breach between them widening with ill-eon-
eealed delight, and have spared no efforts
to secure that result. The latest move in
this direction, however, will hardly meet
the success expected. The DEMOCRATS
special dispatch from Washington contains
the information that 1t is Mr. Hayes design
to use the discussions here to help Republican
success In 1880, and for this reason the outrage
mill will be erected in this city instead OF the
country parishes, where violence and intiml-
dations are alleged to have been committed.
But this plan will not work satisfactorily.
The Democrats Of New Orleans are not yet SO
wide apart that either wing will consent to be
the tail to tie Republican kite and help the
bloody shirt shriekers in their schemes OF
wholesale arrest and illegal prosecution.

which of the two great parties will carry the

would appear to be less pleased with thelF
Representatives In the present Congress than
the Democratic voters, since they have re-
tained SO few OF them. The Southern States
seem well satisfied with their Representa-
tives, for whereas the Northern Democrats
return twenty-three new to thirty old mem
bers, the South sends back almost it's
entire delegation. All the sitting Democratic
members from Louisiana, West Virginia,
South Carolina and Mississippi are returned,
while In Texas there Is change in but one
district. On the other hand New York will
send eighteen wholly Inexperienced legisla-
tors, Pennsylvania ten, Ohio eight, Missouri
nine and Illinois seven. State which seldom
changes its delegation In Congress is the gain

most the whole of his first term to learn the
ways of the House or to acquire any influence
or power The Southern members, therefore,
occupy more influential positions in the
Forty-sixth than in the present Congress.

The Power of GentIeness.

1t is related that a belated stranger
stopped all night at a farmers house.
He noticed that slender little girl, by
her gentle ways, had great influence in
the house. She seemed to be bringer
of peace and goodwill to the rougher
ones in the household. She had q
power over animals, also, as the follow
ing shows:
The farmer was going to town next
morning, and had agreed to take the
stranger with him. The family came
out to see them start. The farmer
gathered up the reins, and, with jerk,
said Dick, 60 long," 1t availed not.
Then came down the whip with heavy
hand, but the stubborn beast only shook
his head silently. A stout lad came
out and seized the bride, and pulled,
and yanked, and kicked the rebellious
pony but not step would he move.
At this crisis sweet voice said
willie, don't do So" The voice was
quickly recognized. And now the magic
hand was laid on the neck of the seem
INTERCHANGEABLE animal, and a simple,
low word was spoken. Instantly the
muscles relaxed, and the air of stub
bornness vanished. Poor Dick said
the sweet voice, and she stroked and
patted softly his neck with those child
like hands. Now, go along, you
naughty fellow in half-chiding, but in
a tender voice, as she drew slightly on
the bride. The pony turned and
rubbed his head against her arm for a
moment, and started off on cheerful
trot, and there was no further trouble
that day.
The stranger remarked TO the farmer
what wonderful power that hand
possesses!
The reply was
"Oh, she's good! Everybody and
everything loves her. Sunday School

f.. The talk in Leadville, Col, is about
n vagabond of miner, Bassick, who
tramped into town without cent in
his pocket and jumped into an income
of $4,000 day. He began to dig in
Tyndall hill, and three feet below the
surface struck rotten, chalky substance
that formed the entire eminence.
Everybody laughed at the beggar and
derisively called his find "Bassick's
whitewash mine" But Bassick found the
stuff rich in carbonate of lead carrying
silver, and digging down, found bowl
ders and pebbles that were coated with
silver chloride. From the surface down
200 feet the mine has paid richer than
any other in the country, yielding thus
far $64 900 a month.

Eccentricities of Yellow Jack.

Nothing is more striking than the &C.
centric action of the disease as evinced
during the last few weeks. Some linger
for weeks under its torment before death
releases them. Others die suddenly, as
though they had received a gunshot
wound in some vital organ. We have
had instances on record when strong
men went home in the apparent enjoy
ment of perfect health and died before
morning. 1t is impossible to predict
with rational certainty, in these times,
whether the friend one meets at midday
ON Sunday, merry and hale, may not
pass into the world of shadows before
Monday evening. Those who shave
never been sick day in their lives
seem to be singled out for victims by the
disease with strange malignity. The
healthiest children and the most robust
adults die in numbers, while the weakly
and ailing survive with extraordinary
persistency. 1t would actually appear
that a long experience in the various ills
to which flesh is heir arms invalids
against Yellow Jack as with shirt of
mail. Such constitutions are Injured.

Chinese ladies of rank are seldom

to meet those of the middle class max

vicinity of their homes. Their attempts
at walking were pitiable in the ex-
treme, as they hobbled along, leaning
on an umbrella or the shoulder of a
servant for support, or with hands out
stretched against the houses as they
passed, endeavoring to keep their bal
ance.-OctOber Vide Atcdke.

The Louisiana orange crop bids fair
to be the largest and finest ever known,
and the New Orleans Times looks for
ward to the time when Louisiana oranges
shall rival the Florida fruit, and become
as important crop in the State as cot
ton. The reason why Louisiana oranges
have not been generally in demand has
been because the home shippers have
not known how to handle them, but they
can grow as fine fruit in the southern
part of the State as is grown anywhere,
and have convenient rail and water
communication when they learn how to
shin it,

RUSSIA was among the earliest nations
to admit women to medical colleges.
Many women graduated from the school
of surgery in ST. Petersburg, and have
been practicing in different parts of the
empire. The Government has recently
issued an edict forbidding all women to
practice medicine, giving as a reason
that the women physicians espouse the
Socialist cause, and become centers of
political discomfort

WILLIAM BRAZLEToN, who was re-
Gently killed at Tucson, Arizona, by n
Sheriff and his posse, was one of the
most notorious desperadoes in the South
west. He had robbed nine coaches
during his career, slew his first man
when only Is years old, and once, in
New Mexico, when closely pursued by
a party of detectives, killed seven of
them. He was ambidexterous, shooting
simultaneously with both hands and as
effectively with one as the other. He
was always armed to the teeth, and kept
the whole country in dread by his des-
perate boldness.

Some Mexican Deities.

Master M. had much to learn about
deities. At the head of these stood one,
infinite, supreme ruler, "the unknown
God" and next beneath him came Tez-
catlipoca, the "son of the world" sup
posed to be the creator of the earth.
Huitzilopotchli was the god of war, n
sort of Mars, but with very much more
name. Then there was the god of air,
Quetzatcoatl, who controlled vegeta-
ton, metals and the politics of the
country. Here is something Master M.
was taught to believe of him.
When this god, whom We will call Q,
was on earth, vegetation was so wonder
fully prolific that single ear of corn
was all man could carry. Everything
the people needed grew spontaneously.
Cotton grew more beautifully tinted
than the dyers of the present time
could color it. Richest perfumes loaded
temperate breezes, and everywhere the
gaudiest-colored birds filed the air
with most enhancing harmonies. q
had some little difficulty, however, with
the rest of the gods, and was obliged to
leave his little paradise. When he EN-
barked in his wizard snake-skin canoe
on the shore of the gulf, he told his
friends thai his descendants would one
day return and bless the land as he
had done, and that they would be like
him-tall, fine-looking, with dark hair,
white skins and flowing boards. Alas
this belief was in no small degree the
cause of their ruin; for the invading
Spaniards nearly answered this descrip-
ton of Q's descendants.
There were thirteen of the principal
deities, as Master M. learned, each of
whom required sacrifices more or less
terrible.
Master M. learned that there were
many other inferior gods, each of which
had festivals, sacrifices, etc, proper
toned to his rank and power; that
nearly every hour of the day was dedi-
Gated to some god or other.
He studied the history of the temples,
and learned why they were four or five
stories high, with the stairs on the out
side; and all about the everlasting fire
which burned on the tops of these
temples, and that there were so many OF
these that the whole country for miles
around was always brilliantly illumin-
ated.-C. g. Hdski1ls, in ST. Nicholas

THE cotton crop, for the year ending
with the 3lst of August last, was 4,S11,-
265 bales, against 4, 4S5, 423 bales for the
year preceding This is the largest
crop since 1860, when the yield was
4,S23,77O bales. OF the total supply,
3,340,166 bales have been exported,
while 1,546,29S bales have been taken
for home consumption. The highest
quantity taken for home use in any
previous year was 1,435,41S bales, in
1877. The increase in the domestic
consumption was entirely, with the ex-
ception of 1000 bales, in Northern
mills. The aggregate weight of the
years crop was 1890, 90S, 907 pounds, as
against total weight of 2,20l ,410,O24
pounds-the highest ever before
reached-in 1876.

IT is said by the Chicago Inter ocean
that Senator Jones, of Nevada, when he
started for the West in August, was, in
his own estimation, broken in fortune,
although five years ago he was worth
$5,000,000. Extravagant and reckless
living, according to the Inter ocean,
had reduced him until he did not know
where his champagne and cigars were
to come from. The recent lift in min
ing stocks has, however, brought him in
$1.5OO,OO0.
