HARMON-In the town of Lake

Jefferson Arthur, only son of d. S. A.
Harmon and Cora L. Sloane, aged 2
years, months and day.
None but those who have likewise suf-
fered can realize the sorrow of parents
at the loss of their only boy. Little
Arthur was a remarkably intelligent
child, and his unusual development of
mind, aud his sprightly ways, had en-
deared him specially to his parents. He
was cut down like flower, almost be-
fore it could be realized he was danger
ously i'll, and the suddenness of the
blow has intensified the grief it causes.
May God console the bereayed parents
and guide them 10 their son in heaven.

We can find nothing in the condition
of our State finances to justify any
doubt of the entire solvency of Louisi-
ana. We have carefully examined the
data available for the forming of cor
rect opinion in regard to this matter,
and we here present to our readers the
results of our investigation. From an
inspection of the settlements made by
tax collectors, and of the Auditors re-
port, we find that the collection of taxes
during the first quarter of 1878, in thir-
ty-eight parishes of the State, amounts
already to the sum of 1873 1902 So.
There remain yet twenty parishes to be
heard from, and the collections made
in these parishes will undoubtedly swell
the aggregate to quite 100000 for the
first quarter of the year. When we
consider the fact that the revenue and
assessing and collecting laws were passed
late in the month of March, during the
extra session of the Legislature; that
many taxpayers delayed payments in
anticipation of a reduction in the rate
Of taxation, and that over $500, 900
were collected in the above mentioned
thirty-eight parishes during the month
of March alone, we must conclude that
the collections for this year have far
surpassed those of any previous year

Dancing rs. Kissing Games.

A writer in the IV0n,Un's Journal takes
up the cudgel in behalf of dancing. and i'm
plledly of the waltz, on the ground that as it
penetrates the ruder districts of New Eng
land the bolsterous and vulgar social games
of the rural settlements disappear. If
there is no dancing, there are ''string -games,'
and, whatever these things may be, they are
said to require the kissing Of all the women
in company, each by large number of men.
This rude and indicate familiarity. the
| JoUrnai says, fourishes under the verv
eyes of our reviyalists. in the church sociables
! themselves. where the most innocent square
dance would be severely censured. In "a late
murder trial in Vermont. certain guilty
deacon admitted that he first made the ac-
quaintance of his paramount at church
/ social at his own house. While old and
| young We're playing old-fashioned game,
| the Deacon as a forfeit, was sentenced to kiss
| Mrs. -. Like Francesca da Rinini.
he lays all his troubles to that kiss.
Since his arrest, he has stated that
up to this time he had been true in thought
as well as in deed to his wife. The naiyete
of this confession seems almost absurd; but
did ever a sinner indicted for murder trace
all his errors back to the demoralizing infiu-
ence of single dance! Left to themselves
at school festivals, the young people would
like to dance. The dancing being held OBJ
jectionable, something else must be introduced
and, on the proposition of String games.
one may see church members, deacons and
for aught l know, clergymen themselves,
joining i'll the rude sport. | have known it
a serious ground of objection to public
schools, on the part of well-bred parents,
that they would not conset to have their Young
daughters rudely kissed by half the town on
such occasions: and have seen such preju-
dices gradually removed by the substitution
of dancing"
/ Something is said also of a missionary
lady who, to save her children from the intlu-
ence Of boisterous kissing games set up a
dancing school in the wilds of Maine. and
proseyted a whole piece Of woods.

sometimes have variety of shades
blended in one knot. These are worn on
entering the reception room, even with
extremely light costumes. They
agree very well with the small muffs
which are all the fashion. In nothing.
by the way, have SO many novelties an
peared as in the last named article of
woman's dress. The mufs now worn are
microscopic l. size and made of all pos
sible materials, including velvet, satin
and plush. Some Of the fine folk have
their monograms or coats of arms, en-
broidered on them; others wear them or
namented with bouquets of flowers or
birds nesting in a bunch Of ribbons, and
still others have them made entirely of
feathers: but in all cases the muffs are
highly perfumed, SO that they are in re-
atty nothing but sacAets for pertaining
small, fair hands. A muff rightly worn
lends as much grace to woman's toilet
as fan, and how admirably do the Paris
lans know how to use one
