SENSIBLE TALK.

We had talk, few days back,
with one of the most intelligent col
ored voters in the Parish, and learned.
from him that there are considera-
be number of representative colored
men who will not any longer have
tickets made up by Mad. Wells for
them to vote for, and that if they
vote for white men they feel it their
duty TO select the most intelligent,
and that the Democratic ticket is
their preference. We are gratified
to know that some of the colorcd vo-
tiers are waking up and are having
the shackles knocked from their
limbs, and are willing to help us re-
trieve this country from the thieves
and plunderers that have oppressed
it 80 long. Let US here say to the
balance of the colored voters, that
we attribute your massing yourselves
against us to your ignorance and that
we do not wish to have a collision,
but we intend to carry this election
and you must not put yourselves in a
position to bring on trouble. Your
organ, eve the People," has threat
ened US with the cartridge box, and
we are not disposed to be driven from
our purpose, and if that is to be the
test, we accept it, and let the conse-
quences rest on you and your advis-
ers. We do not fear the "Red War
rior'' organization or the black-and-
tan either!

For some time past the Internal Revenue
Department has been experimenting with
inks to be used in the cancellation Of stamps
which cannot be washed, and it has finally
adopted one manufactured by Philadelphia
firm which is said to meet the requirements
Of the department. The manufacture is of
course kept secret.
East Liverpool, Ohio, is warmed and
lighted by its natural gas wells The gas giveG
n fame that almost rivals the electric light in
brilliancy, and it costs so little that the lamps
in the city streets are kept burning day and
night. It is used in private houses and fac
tories alike, and cooks a steak or heats fur
mace.
One Of the largest grizzly bears ever seen
in California was killed near Monterey short
time ago. He weighed over 1000 pounds
and from the fact that he was in the habit Of
killing full-grown cows and dragging them in
men of that section felt delicate about attack
ing him. Finally poisoned honey was spread
in his way, partaking of which he gave up
the ghost.
The bodies of Beethoven and Schubert
were recently exhumed from their graves in
the Waehringer Cemetery at Vienna. The
fine, delicate, almost feminine head of Schu-
bert contrasted strikingly with the massive,
thick, bony and great brain holding skull of
Beethoven. The bumps which phrenologists
| declare indicate musical talent were wanting
in both, but Schubert's skull showed more
| perfect proportions than Beethovcn's.

The INTERNATIONAL REVIEW for November
December, opens with the brilliant reply of
Prof TAFT, of Edinburgh, to the article OF
James Anthony Froude on "Scienco and The
ology," in which he powerfully opposes MIR.
Froude. Next comes an article on The
Pending Ordeal of Democracy, from Geo. w.
Julian, an independent voter. Mr.. Spohord,
Librarian of Congress, gives very interest
ing account of the wonderful growth of the
National Library. DIR. Hall treats of the lat
est phases of belief regarding the Final Phil
osophy. One of the best contributions OF its
kind to our periodical literature is a seml-hu-
morous study on Successful Mediocrity,
contributed by Albert Rhodes, U. 5. Consul
at Rouen, France, in which he takes the
ground that successful men are generally on
" moderately endowed with brains, while
men of genius fail and are often disgraeed.
In an article on "Social Democracy" which
fills 40 pages of the Review, Prof. j. Won
Huber throws light on the current of events
in Europe. Mr.. Horace White gives review
of the currency situation, and foretells some
of the results of specie resumption. Wilkie
Collins has a story that will make this num-
her more than usually readable and attractive.
In order 10 include ''The Shocking story
the publishers have enlarged the number by
adding forty-eight extra pages without IN
oreasing the price.

FAITH HYMN.
BY THEo. C. JEROME.

Far in a country, cottage home,
Hard by a babbling brook
There lives q child who scarce can read,
But who yet loves Gods Book.
At morning prayers one verse there is
Which sinks into her heart;
So, as she eats her breakfast slice,
She hides away part.
And when is come her hour OF play,
She takes this piece OF bread,
And casts it on the waters near,
Just as the Bible said.
Full many a time and oft she comes,
Gazing upon the brook,
But still no trace OF the floating crumbs
Repays her eager look.
A week goes by, her patience. fails,
She leaves her wonted plays,
And seeking mother, begS her TELL
"How long is many days T
Oh, for the faith OF that dear child!
1t cannot be deferred,
1t mountains moves and souls CONVERTS
1t takes God at His word.
Oh, for the faith OF that dear child
1t knows not doubts or fears;
And such a life, though told i'll months,
Attains hundred years.
Do we belleve,-do you and |?
And do our works accord,
That without tail God will fulfill
This promise of His work.
Though thy bread cast ON the waters
Sink at once beneath the waves,
Just as surely thou shalt find it,
Find it after many days.
Though perchance we SOW in sorrow
Scarce expecting aught but leaves,
Doubtless we shall come rejoicing
Bringing with us golden sheaves.
Though alone, bereft, afflicted,
Suffering seem our only part,
Mary sitting,-Martha serving,
Please alike the Masters heart.
Then, sow thy seed beside all waters,
WhereSoer thy footsteps roam =
Faint not,--doubt not thou shalt gather !;
Only watt the harvest home.
Freely give, as God has given;
You'll receive the blessings told,--
In the future, life eternal,
In this world, an hundred fold.
In the morning scatter broadcast,
And at eve, hold not thy hand;
For thou know not which shall prosper
Or if both alike may stand.
No corn of wheat, in faith implanted,
Vainly dieth in the ground
If not on earth, in heavenly garner,
Richest fruit shall yet abound.
Every faithful Gospel sower
Rest assured his work yet lives;
For Paul plants, Apollos waters,--
But it's COP the increase gives.
Many seeds drop into ocean,
To and fro toss DER the sea-
One lands ON some coral island,
Sprouts and grows into tree.
A mountain top, of corn handful,
Dropped i'll earth amid the trees
The fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon
Rustled by the morning breeze.
Then, help us, Lord, to cast our bread
On waters or highways,
And trust to Thee for its return,
In few or many days.
