defiance at him, which is accepted.
Edith unconsciously has fallen desperately

A fortnight ago bull took fright in the
streets of Liverpool, and apparently es-
Gaping from his pursuers, entered the back
yard of house in Falkland street, owned
and occupied by John Jones. He got into
the kitchen, first of all, and
finding nobody there, went up stairs
to the front bedroom, where Mrs. Jones
was dressing. The anything but sylph-like
tread of the visitor on the stairs naturally
attracted the attention of the hostess,
and she, going to the door, was
much alarmed at the awkward sight.
Toilet operations were at once suspended,
and Mrs. Jones managed to slip
out of the room, and go for assistance.
The bull thrown upon his own resources
amused himself by upsetting the furniture
and scattering toilet-ware to the four cor
ners of the room. Assistance was rendered
by police constable, who secured the bull
by a rope and dragged him down stairs into
the street,

USEFUL HINTS TO MILLERs.-In the course
of Professor Peck's reports on the Minnea-
polls Touring mill explosion, the following
among other suggestions are made to
millers.
First-Never use an open light in any
part of the mill.
Second-Never light lantern or strike
a match for any purpose, in any part
of the mill where there is any dust at all.
Third-Never use an ordinary lantern in
a spout or bin where there is a draught of
air carrying dust with it. One end of such
spout or bin should be closed before the
lantern is introduced. A lantern should
not be placed in such a locality if it can be
possibly avoided, and, if absolutely neces-
sary, light covered with fine wire gauze
would be much safer.

attorneys for the Returning Board when the
worthless who constituted that infamous
organization were prosecuted for forgery, and
they defended them with great earnestness,
vigor and ability. @m.y.
Mad Wells, the chief Of the Returning
Board swindlers, the very head and front in
this State Of the scheme by which the election
OF 1876 was fraudulentlv counted and Hayes
made President, Is running as an Independ-
emit in the Sixth District ..s
In the Fifth District the Radicals have
nominated John r. Ludelng, Warmoth's and
KelIogg's Chief Justice, who wrote and de-
livered the Infamous opinion Of the Supreme
Court affirming the constitutionality Of the
act creating the Returning Board and sus-
tanning all the villainies perpetrated by that
body 49,"
In the Fourth District q broken down and
quite imbecile old citizon, named Lara
more has been brought out by Sam Bard, an
ex-ot1cal under Grant, as an Independent.
The object Of this candidacy Is to create q
split In the ranks Of the Democracy, where
upon 1t Ia proposed that Gen. Tom Anderson
shall step into the ring like his worthy asso-
ciate, Mad Wells, as an independent.
Any one of these candidates might mean
little OF nothing. But what man Of common
intelligence Gun contemplate the whole
group and not be absolutely convinced that
the single purpose of the whole anti-Demo-
cratic movement is the vindication of the
Returning Board.
Nor Ia this all. Not many days ago, In q
self-invited interview with representative Of
the New York Tribune, Mr.. Evarts said that
the Southern policy Of the administration
was merely an experiment. and that, If it were
not success other methods Of assmilating
the Southern States would be resorted to.
What other methods? He meant that If the
South shall refuse to be Republicanized by
Cancellation 1t will be Republicanized on the
Grant plan. The present movement to vindi-
cate the Returning Board Is step toward
the remission OF Louisiana to the control Of
the pl,lndererg from whom we rescued 1t in
1876 Let the voters of Louisiana beware Of
independents or discussions or divisions.

DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER

Democratic ticket in the field and sustained
defeat than to win with such man as this as
a leader.
Tho State Central Committee refuses to
surrender all party organization by recog-
nizlng the Butler nomination, and has called
another convention to meet in Boston on the
twenty-ifth. This body Is expected to select
candidates In thorough accord with Demo-
cratic principles, around whom all true Dem
ocrats will be expected to rally. This course
cannot be too highly commended. Buffers
election would be q national calamity, and
Democrats who love their party should labor
to defeat him.

REGISTER!

Register Register! In these mournful
days. when people are absorbed with cares
and solictudes and sorrows Of a personal and
private character, it appears sacrilege for us
TO obtrude upon them with this Injunction
Yet. as a sentinel on the outworke, it Ia our
duty to do soto give the alarm when danger
threatens us. as 1t does now.
We will not cite, rs III incentive to our peo-
pie old and t,te instances Of Roman civic
virtue, which sacrificed all personal and fam
lily affections to 4 sense Of public duty. We
remember that Cato, the sternest censor OF
them oil. was q cruel master and man with
none of the tenderer qualities Of humanity.
Yet, there are some facts we must recall to
the minds Of our people. New Orleans Is the
stronghold Of the Democracy In this State,
and we must poll full vote here If we would
have any assurance Of carrying the State.
There are now several thousand voters abb
SENT and it is probable that Il very large pro-
portion Of the Democratic voters will not
have returned by the twenty-sixth Of Octo-
Der, when the registration closes. The negro
vote has already been registered, and the
policy OF the Radicals. as already disclosed
in the arrest Of the clerks Of registration In
ttle tulLN WuIu, Will DC W tuEOW every pos
sible impediment In the way Of the registra-
ton of the whites.
Any such experiments as the one we have
alluded to- are certain to result In discom-
future. and perhaps in something else; yet
the argument remains that no good citizen
should forogo OF neglect the opportunity to
do his duty as citizen and an elector There
are none OF zig, no matter what orr private
cases may be, that cannot find time to go
and register as voter-to qualify himself to
express an opinion and carry out G principle
In the impending elections.
The State needs us all now. This is, by
reason Of circumstances @ critical time. The
Radicals have taken heart from our miscres-
they thrive In these-and are induging in
hopes they never would have thought OF
under ordinary circumstances. Tho Ma
tionals-n sort Of second intention fungi
have arisen to comfort them. and the vote Of
every Democrat in New Orleans is needed

that is-~Register! Register!

GEO. R, DEOAN.

Another household has been made desolate,
another noble heart has been forever stilled.
Last night our young and universally es-
teemed friend, Geo. r. Ocean, expired at his
residence in this city, in the twenty -fourth
year Of his age.
The deceased was q native of Philadelphia,
and the son Of the late Robert r. Ocean,
prominent for many years In New Orleans as
business man and for his large benevoence,
Our lamented friend, though mere youth in
years, was the senior member of a large
business firm and held O high and flattering
position In business circles. He possessed all
the social virtues, being kind, polite, generous
and accomplished.
The circumstances attending the death OF
this young gentleman were sad and touching
In the extreme. Tenderly attached TO q young
and beautiful lady Of our city he though La
bic to the fever, would not fly the pestilonce.
Only two weeks ago he was married to Miss
Lyons, daughter Of the late Lewis Lyons,
whose many amiable qualities had won his
heart. But the all-prevaiing pestilence was
at the wedding feast, and in the midst Of the
sacred ceremony laid Its whitening touch
upon the bridegrOom's heart
A few days Of felicity in the enjoyment of
the best and truest aspiration Of his soul, and
the young husband laid down upon his bed of
death. The husband of two weeks will be
laid in the tomb to-day. The widowed bride,
smitten with grief and bathed in tears, feels
that all the brightness Of the world has
passed away We have no words Of consola-
ton to offer. On such an occasion human
lips can utter no spell to relieve the over
burdened soul or give comfort to the stricken
and broken heart What poor solace there
is in the sympathies of our whole people
the young wife has. He who in His in
scruitable providence has sent the fear
full and desolating stroke can alone, In His
own time and way, bind up the wounded
spirit and teach eyes now drenched in blind
ing tears to look upward once more with
