PRESIDENT Hayes and the members of
his cabinet sent congratulations 10 the
Chicago commercial convention and cy-
pressed the hope that It's work would be
fruitful in the way Of bg,ering the trade
facilities between the two oceans. The
convention very properly replied, by recon-
mending congressional aid in the con.
struction Of the Texas Pacific rail
road, and the extension of the time
fer completing the Northern Pacific.
These great work, under way, and thous.
ands Of men, now idle and facing want,
would find employment; and completed, a
load would be lifted from the inter.ocean
commerce that would give it life and
prosperous activity to which, hitherto, it
has been stranger.

sire to rob him Of his laurels, artificial
flowers though they be. But since he
has felt it necessary In the conservative
interest, which he leads, to attack the Auditor,
who Is straightout Democrat for asking
compensation justly earned, we feel that
it is our duty to state the whole truth; and
the truth summarized is simply this: That
Mr.. Bush requested extra pay for himself
as member OF the three boards in which he
served; that he was refused the COM
pensation; that he and his friends worked
reversal of the vote and obtained the COM
pensation; that public opinion revolted,

and political capital out OF the final vote.

he had previously earnestly solicited.

TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW ORLEANS.

With view to secure to the people OF this
city the exclusive and permanent control
and direction of the New Orleans Pacific
Railway, SO that 1t shall not pass into alien
hands, or be controlled to the detriment OF
the trade and commerce Of this place, or to
the injury of our agricultural interests, or to
prevent or delay the speedy development OF
Louisiana by discouraging immigration, but
used to strengthen and uphold the credit OF
State and city by making their bonded debts
secure and reliable beyond possibility Of a
failure, and to popularize the enterprise still
more with the mass Of our fellow-citizens by
Offering eligible inducements to them to sub
scribe for the stock Of the company, the
direction now address you. To float success
fully the five millions of first mortgage bonds
to be issued by the company for the con-
struction and equipment Of the road
the direction deem two proceedings pre-
cedent both wise and necessary. First, to fix
the total amount Of stock to be issued at one
and half millions Of dollars until the line
has been open for five years to traffic; and
second, to give by local subscriptions encour-
agement to purchasers OF bonds to repose
implicit faith In their absolute safety rs an
investment. The first has been done, and the
second the people are now invited to favor and
complete, as follows:
The stock Of the company is now offered to
subscribers on the following terms, to wit:
Five per cent in cash Of amount OF subscrip-
tion at time OF subscribing, and the balance in
notes payable monthly, as follows: Ten per
cent January l., 1879; 10 per cent February 1;
10 per cent March 1 10 per cent April l 10
per cent May 1; 10 per cent June 1; 10 per
cent July 1; 10 per cent August 1; Is per cent
September 1, 1879.
This liberal plan, 1t is hoped, will meet the
approval OF every one, and on Monday, tie
twenty second instant, books Of subscription
will be opened at the office of the company.
1t is proposed to issue stock untransferable
on the books of the company for the amount
subscribed by each person, which will enttle
the holder to vote at all elections of the COM
pany, but not to claim transferable stock
until his subscription has been paid in full in
cash.
The president Of the company can exercise
his discretion In accepting or rejecting sub
scriptions.
By order of the Board Of Directors.

Acting on this request Of the Speaker OF
the House for extra compensation for merely
honorary duty. Hon. John Young, OF Clai-
borne, on the twenty OF February intro
duced resolution to allow the Speaker ad-
ditional compensation as member OF the
Board of Canvassers, Board Of Liquidation
OF February the resolution came up and was
defeated by a vote Of fifty-six in the negative
to thirty-seven in the affirmative.
We do not pretend to say how 1t was done,
but there is evidence to show that the Speaker
interested himself In insisting upon re-
yersal of this vote. Be that as 1t may, Brown.
a colored Radical, on the same day, moved a
reconsideration Of the previous vote, which
motion was carried by vote OF Sc to S6, and
Speaker Bush pas, by the vote of the House,
allowed ertra compensation as member Of the
Board of Liquidation member of the Printing
Board aud of the Board of Can0dssers. Thus
1t seems that the Speaker did not, when bis
own interests were involved, regard extra
eompensation as out OF the regular line OF
reform.
But this extraordinary action of the House
In allowing the Speaker extra compensation
for mere honorary duty reached the listening
ears OF the press. and the Speaker, possibly
with some higher object In view to be ad
vanced by the cry Of reform, promptly came
to the front and declined the extra compensa'
tion. In letter to the House dated March

Riots seem to be one Of the chief products
Of our modern civilization. In former times
riots were infrequent and were seldom
brought about save by violent religious or
political differences; but, to-day, nothing is
too small to provoke riot, and the most in
significant event may easily produce revo-
luton that the government finds 1t difficult
to cope with
The latest popular outburst, which occurred
at the small town OF Alrdrie, Scotland, is
unique In It's character and is overwhelming
evidence. ifevidence be needed, that Scotch
mans brain Is impervious to joke, no matter
how broad 1t may be.
On April gentleman living in Airdrie,
one of those pests of society, a practical JOKER
determined, in Difference to the patron Of the
day, to enliven the dullness Of the town by
little fun. With this end in view, he in
serted an advertisement In the local paper,
announcing that gentleman who had lately
come into fortune would distribute to the
people of Airdrie, on Monday, April 1, at the
Town Cross, 1000 loaves of bread and three
hundred weight Of cheese.
Owing to the depressed condition Of trade
| In the Airdrie district this invitation was gen.
orally accepted; for some months past great
destitution had prevailed In the town, and
thousands were thankful for even loaf of
dry bread. A crowd of a thousand or more
focked, In consequence, to the Town Cross as
appointed in the advertisement, for their
bread and cheese, and here they waited pa
! tiently for that generous gentleman, who
had recently come into a fortune. Hour
after hour they waited, and still he did not
come. At last somebody recollected what day
1t was and the hoax was soon seen by all.
The victims OF this joke, however, did not
take 1t quietly, like most victims OF All FOOLS
Day. They were Scotchmen, and failed to
see the jocular part of the hoax; saw only the
trouble it had put them to. Instead, there
fore, of laughing at 1t and going quietly
home, they armed themselves with sticks,
and proceeding to the newspaper Office that
had published the deceptive advertisement,
demanded the name OF the author OF
the joke Immediately, threatening, If it
was not given them, to "gut" the office.
The editor, In alarm, gave the name and
the crowd, forming itself into platoons,
marched around to the house of that practi-
cal Joker. They assaulted the building with
stones, brckbats and sticks, and in short
time broke in the doors and windows; but the
Joker, alarmed at this display OF violence, had
escaped and fled for safety to the village hotel.
Upon learning this the mob marched around
to the hotel and mobbed that building also,
breaking every pane Of glass In it. Before,
however, they could get hold Of their victim,
hearing that the police were coming, they
dispersed, we'll satisfied with their vengeance
, The unfortunate author Of this joke has
, therefore escaped any bodily injury. He
doubts, however, whether he has had e6oo
worth Of fun out OF his little joke, and will
never again celebrate All FOOLS Day in Scot
Z land.

A stranger sat IN corner of a car
hence to New York, in easy attitude,
his feet upon a large black trunk.
The gentlemauly conductor, going his
rounds, at the first station politely in.
formed the stranger that the trunk
must be put in the baggage car. To
which the stranger nothing replied. At
the second station the displeased con.
ductor, more decidedly told the stran-
ger that he must put the trunk in the
baggage car. To which the stranger
nothing replied. At the third station
the vexed conductor more imperative
ly told the stranger that he must put
the trunk in the baggage car or it
would be put off the train. To which
the stranger nothing replied. At the
fourth station the irrate conductor had
the trunk put off and left. At the
fifth station the notified conductor,
addressing the stranger, begged him
to remember that he had but lone
what his duty required, and that he
had only done it after repeated warm
ings, and that it was solely the stran.
gers fault. To which tn stranger la

Very decided changes in tempera.
ture come about this season, and often
without warning. Fresh, cool days
are followed by others warm and
moist. 1t is unhealthy to shiver. and

about while under the sensation Of
even a slight cold. Housekeepers
should take care that some apartment
in their dwelling is sufficiently warm.
ed by stove or range or furnace to be
comfortable. Health, no less than
personal satisfaction, is involved in
this matter. The slight ailments and
occasional serious diseases which mark
the change of season arise usually from
inattention to the warnings which the
body gives in its protests to discomfort.
1t is said by some to be heroic and
hardy to endure the preliminary
touches Of winter. But it may be
that the hero or heroine is simply in
dolent, and afraid of the labor or care
involved by going:into winter quarters.

AN AMusISo ISclpESr.-A rat

AN AMUSING INCIDENTAL rather
amusing incident is told as having
occurred recently at a church in Con.
necticut. not many miles from Fair
field. The clergyman, il would ap-
pear, desired TO call the attention of
his congregation to the fact that it
being the last Sunday Of the month
he would administer the rite Of bap-
tism to children. Previous to his
having entered the pulpit, he had re-
ceived from Of his elders, who, by the
way, was quite deaf, a notice to the
effect that as the children would lie
present that evening. and he had the
new Sunday.school books ready for
distribution. he would have them
there TO sell 10 all who desired them.
After the sermon, the clergyman be-
gan the notice of baptismal service,
thus: "All OF those having children
and desiring to have them baptized
will bring them this afternoon" At
this point the deaf elder. hearing the
mention Of children, supposed it was
something in reference to his books,
and rising. said: "All of those hav-
ing none, and desiring them, will be
supplied by me for the sum of 25
cents"

Four years ago Miss Lucy A. o.

her scalp, right ear, and part Of the
right cheek torn of by the catching
of her hair in rapidly moving ma

treatment in a hospital in this city,
but was recently sent home with q
new scalp. produced by the process Of
skin grating, the gratis being furnish

said that 1900 pieces were used in
the operation. One Of the surgeons
contributed from his person 1902
pieces. and another gave S65. The
appearance of the scalp now is similar
IN that Of healed wound. OF course,
there can be no growth OF hair there
on. The eyes still present a slightly

the cheek and ear have neatly dress

A point Of some interest te newspa.
per editors was raised recently in the
trial Of a case in Rochester, New
York. The city editor of the Express
was called as a witness, and asked how
he obtained the information upon
which a certain article was based. He
declined to answer on the ground that
a disclosure by him Of the name of
his informants would seriously injure
him in his business as newspaper
man; that the information had been
impaired 10 him under the pledge Of
secrecy; that he very often was not
able to obtain information on various
matters except on condition Of secrecy,
and that therefore all communica-
tons to newspaper man should be
regarded as privileged, the same as
communications between lawyers and
clients. The Court ruled that the
witness was not compelled to answer,
for the reason he had stated. The
ruling is a just one, and based on
'ound principles. As a newspaper is
for what it prints, there
an be no good reason why an editor
'hould be compelled to divulge the
'ources of his information. pitts.
