A .HUNcHBAcH.-There latelv died in
Paris humnn5acked man who. for the
previous fifty years of his life, had
given his time to researches upon his
humpbacked brethren. His heirs found,
instead of a will, a voluminous manur
cript OF two thousand pages upon humps.
He was rich, and Travelled ii eyery
direction for information. It was in
the milder regions of Europe that he
found the misfortune most prevalent.
Spain supplied the greatest number.
and int cireumscrihed locality at the
foot of the Sierra Morena there existed
one lumpbacked individual to every
thirteen. inhabitants. TheySwere also
very numerous in the valley Of the
Loire in France. The writer's conclu-
sion was that for every thousand per
sons on the globe there was one hump
back, or an aggregate of q million
against the thousand millions OF the
entire earth. The last page of the
manuscript contained the will of the de-
ceased which said nothing regarding
the disposition of his pronerty, hnt
simply desired that o hump Of marble
should be raised above his tomb with
this inscription: "Here lies a humpback:
who had taste for humps, and knew
more about them than any other hump

Hon. B. r.. Jonas.
IN, O. Democrat.

Hon. B. F. Jonas, who was elected on
Tuesday by the Louisiana Legislature
to succeed Hon. j. B. Eustis in the
United States Senate, is quite u young
man. He was born in kentucky in 1884
and came to this city i'll 1852, graduated
in law in the University OF Louisiana in
the class of 1850, and began the practice
of his profession in New Orleans in
partnership with tie late Gov. Hyams,
with whom he was associated until the
latter's death. An accomplished scholar
and possessing keen, ACTIVE and vlgOr-
Gus intellect, Mr. Jonas soon made him.
self prominent both at the bar and IN
politics. lie was a co-operatlonlst in
1861, but when Louisiana seeded he
promptly enlisted i'll her service and
served through the war, part OF the
time in that historic body, Fenner's
Battery, and subsequently, as adjutaAt
in Hoods artillery corps. The war over,
MI Jonas returned to the city and re-
sumed the practice OF his profession,
which he has continued with distin-
guished ability up to the present time.
During the last ten or twelve years he
has served the city and State with dis
tinction in several capacities. In 1879
he was nominated by the Democratic
convention for Lieutenant Governor on
the ticket headed by Gov. John Nc
Emery. On the organization OF the
fusion ticket Mr.. Jonas retired from the
ticket in favor of Col. d. B. Penn, the
choice OF the Liberal wing OF the fusion.
But he continued throug ghout that event.
ful canvass one OF the most eloquent
and faithful champions OF the common
cause, He was a member Of the House
OF Representative in 1866, and OF the
McEnery Senate in 1873. In 1876 he was
again elected to the House, and served
during the succeeding session, during
which Ae was chairman OF the Judiciary
Committee Of that body. He was also
City Attorney from 1874 to 1878, and in
1876 an active and able member Of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
Thus, it will be seen that, with large
and lucrative practice, the new Senator
has devoted large share OF his energy
and ability to the public service. He is
a straight-o out National Democrat. He
is fluent and forcible speaker, often
eloquent, and, above all, his integrity is
above reproach. In Mr.. Jonas the DEM
ocratic party will have a faithful and
earnest champion, and the levee, rail-
road, sugar and other national interests
of Louisiana an able, persistent and
determined advocate.
Dir. Jonas is nOn-comprOmiser, and
when he REACHES the Senate we have
little doubt that the fraud and usurper
Kellogg will soon have to step down
and out; his voice will always be lifted
up to den0unce Federal interference in
Louisiana affairs and to expose the cruel
prosecutions of her citizens. Hon, J. B,
Eustis, who will retire from the Senate
at the expiration of the present session,
has served the State with marked ability
and faithfulness, and Mr.. Jonas will
have vacancy to fill which requires all
the large gifts he possesses.

Mr.. William Mason, one of the few
survivors of tEo generations long since
gone, died at his residence in Opelousas,
on the 4th inst. Father" Mason, as
he has been called by all, during the
twenty years that we have known him,
was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on
the 10th December, 1791, and would
therefore have been eighty eight years
old at his next birthday. He served in
the Florida Indian war. He was a
resident here over half a century. He
was member of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, and was recognized by all
as genuine christian. He died firm in
the faith in which he had lived, and
with the certain assurance Of an en-
trance into a better and happier world
beyond the grave. r.

to buy at the lowest prices possible.
Before next fall goods will probably
go up, but he is willing to sell at a
sacrifice now, for the sake OF getting
money to buy his Spring stock. Call

Retrenchmentand reform are epidemic
everywhere just now. Among those
likely to suffer by it are those snpertiul-
ties, legislative chaplains. Half dozen
Legislatures have abolished these sine
cures. The Illinois Legislature announ-
ces that the State is too poor to pay for
prayers. If anybody wants to open tho
Legislature with prayers he can do it,
and will be thanked therefor, but need
expect no money. In Maine, they have
not yet reached this state of indepen-
dence, but have got up nice little
squabble over the question of cutting
down the cost of legislative prayers, in
the interest of retrenchment and reform,
sixty cents prayer. The chaplain re-
fuses to pray at three dollars a day, and
a deadlock has ensued. The Maine
Legislature now goes to work without
the inspiring and soothing influence of
prayers.-[N. O. Democrat.
