great deal of these Rochdale stories be-
fore, but here comes the man who has
spent large share OF lifetime de-
voted to philanthropy in working out
the theory and practice upon which
their success has been based, and who
now gives us the assurance that the the
ory is sound and its practical application
feasible and beneficial. The words OF
such a man will have vital interest Tor
the American workingmen. lie shows
them that 1t is possible while puthas-
ing needed supplies for their families TO
be constantly saving money in the direct
ratio Of their purchases; so that at the
end of of the year they may have fifty
or a hundred dollars laid by at interest
where they now have nothing. He shows,
too, that by the joint effort OF
many cooperative stores a purchas-
ing agency may be created, commanding
the services OF the best buying talent,
procuring goods of the best quality in
the best markets, and insuring to the
consumer, no matter how small his pur-
chases may be, immunity from fraud
and alulteration. The cooperative
store, as described by Mr.. Holyoake, is
a guarantee of good weight honest meas
ure and genuine quality, and is at the
same time a savings banks in which the
profits on the articles sold accumulate
Tor the benefit OF the purchasers.

work for tho Convention.

ISouSuhbtd SitiGou.f
We look over our State exchanges With
public sentiment. The following is the work
expected to be accomplished by the State
Conventions:
/. To establish simple republican form
OF government with just as few officeholders
as possible; the salaries to be In keeping with
the duties OF the office and the ability Of the
people to pay
2. To reorganize the judiciary, and cause
litigation to be prompt and cheap; salaries Of
judges reduced; parish attorneys, and no dis
trict attorneys.
8. Provisions made for public education
with regard'to race.
4. A limitation to the public debt.
5. Establish q permanent seat Of govern
ment at Baton Rouge.
6. Reduce the rate Of interest to per cent.
7. A thorough investigation into the funded
debt, and provision made for the payment OF
honest obligations
s. A reduction Of taxes to not more than
six mills.
There are other matters Of interest, but the
above subjects have been brought more
prominently before the public mind, and have
received the Endorsement of the people OF the
State.
The affairs of the city Of New Orleans are
in complicated condition, and financial en-
barrassments press heavily upon her. 1t
should be the object OF the convention to let
her best citizens adjust her difficulties, IN tne
manner they think best, and to lend all possl-
bic assistance
New Orleans Is the heart Of Louisiana, and
her vitality gives life and vigor to the par
ishes. There cannot be, there must not be
anv jealousy between the city and country.
It is mistaken notion that their interests
are adverse; there Is nothing OF the kind, for
If Won by bad legislation impair the fortunes
Of one, you injure the other In proportion.

A TRIBUTE TO TEXAS.

Mr.. M. IL. Barrymore, the actor who was

well-cut mouth and straightforward manner
make strong impression in his favor, which
is enforced blythe realistic way In which he

Texas seems to have made an impression on
eainl which differs somewhat from some pre-
conceived notions of that State. His whole
conversation was one long eulogy of the hos

the people of Texas.

"Not alone were these cOurtesies extended

free OF charge, the hotel keepers would not
hear of aking money from us, and we were
feted ard caressed from one frontier OF the
State to the other.
III am particularly anxious to express my
gratitude to Mr.. r. w. Thompson, Jr., of the
Texas and Pacific, for the kindness he has
shown me, and to the whole State OF Texas,

Mr.. Barrymore arrived here yesterday
morning with his wife, noe Miss Georgie
Drew, en- route from Texas. He left this city
on the Nandalia train at 6 As p. m, for Phtla-
delphia, where he will rest and recuperate.

TTLDEN AND HENDRICKS COMPARED.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE World says that
the Louisville Courier-.Josundt thinks the
nomination in 1880 OF Hendricks instead of
Tilden for President, would be saying that
Hendricks had done something which Tilden
ought to have done. This the Coarter-.1oa7,dl
declares would not be true. So far 50 good.
But there might be- another meaning in such
a nomination. 1t might mean that Hendricks
had not done something which Tilden ought
not to have done. II the Potter committee
did not mean to imply this why did not the
Potter committee take such pains to exoner-
ate Hendricks by name from all sins alike Of
omission and commission In connection with
presidential affairs of 1876.

Terrible Slaughter of Prisoners.

A Kieff correspondent of the st.
Petersburg Journal gives the following
account of the outbreak among the polit-
ical prisoners last month: "PersonS
under arrest in the Kief prison resolved
some time ago to tunnel under the walls
and escape. The scheme was betrayed
by one of the conspirators. The author
tiles allowed the prisoners to continue
the excavation. When the tunnel was
completed, and the prisoners had enter
ed it, one after the other, intending to
come up through the opening beyond
the prison precincts, the soldiers preVl-
ously posted at the opening shot the es-
Gaping prisoners as they came up;
When the bulk of the prisoners, terrified
BY the noise of the firing, stopped and
remained ia the tunnel, soldiers were
sent in from behind, and the unfortunate
wretches, caught between two fires, were
all shot down. The proceeding seemed
to give the officials much amusement,
and the Director of the Kief prison was
praised and decorated for having acted
with such cleverness and decision"
The correspondent adds: "Quite in
keeping with this is the statement pub
lished by the Russian chaplain in the
central prison at Charkoff, in the official
EparciaI We6on1oSte. He declares that OF
the 500 prisoners detained at that prison,
sse aoo heaviest charges made BY the Niihii- i Il
lists against the Russian official admins
tration was the brutal treatment of the
prisoners, in consequence OF which the
health of most of them was broken
down, many dying and some being driy-

Blended Blondes.

The yellow hair which o number OF
actresses and many women off the stage
effect seems to be growing more and
more common. 1t is not pleasant to
see, however, because it is in almost ev-
cry instance artificial, the result of dye
ing, and artifciality is never agreeable
for any length of time. Actresses have
professional reasons--perhaps mistaken
ones-for dyeing their hair; but other
women have no excuse for it. They
imagine, of course, that it adds to their
beauty, or modiies their homeliness,
which it certainly does not. The effect,
indeed, is quite the contrary. Nature
is very likely to understand the true
principles of art. Although she may
not make all women handsome, she gen
erally furnishes them with complexion,
eyes, and hair to match. And when
they bleach their hair they blunder @s-
thetically, wronging nature and them
selves at the same time. The peculiar
hue of the hair which is now the fash
ion with certain class is almost always
unbecoming, because it is unnatural. 1t
advertise5 and emphasizes its artifciali-
tv, and conveys an unfavOraOle impress
sion of the person who adopts it. No
woman in civilization colors her hair
blue, her nose red, her cheeks green, or
her teeth black. But, if she did, she
would be acting very much like the
woman who dyes her hair yellow-a
dead, fictitious, repellant hue. Yellow
hair is apt to give an unprepossessing
notion of the wearer. The man or wom-
an of taste and good sense who sees it
associates it with painted eyebrows,
painted cheeks, and other false things,
spiritual not less than material. If these
hair-dyers knew what men of the world
mean by saying, "She is the sort of
woman who bleaches her hair" they
would think twice before they did it.

it. This kind of training is as beneficial
intellectually as any training possibly
can be, the intellect, the Will, the JldS-
ment. are all called into action and the
consciousness of moral responsibility is
ouickened. Those girls who are thus
ballasted with duties for which they are
held responsible enjoy with double zest
the hours OF recreation, and insensibly
become adjusted to the burdens which
every thinking woman must bear on her
shoulders or on her heart, and often on
both. The girl who can with skill and
readiness perform all the offices neces-
sary in the proper care of and provision
for her own personal necessities as to
cleanliness, sewing, mending, food and
habitation, need not lack for home, or
for comfort and friends. And it would
seem that the ordinary dictates of com
mon sense would suggest to parents and
guardians that the education of q child
that leaves practical knowledge OF these
duties out of the count is radically and
fundamentally deficient.
The effort that is making for the in-
PRODUCTION of dresSmaking into the New
York City schools deserves all en-
couragement. Until the dwellers in ten
ement houses know how to take care OF
themselves and do for themselves ac-
cording TO laws and principles accepted
as hygienic and sound, landlords and
charitable institutions can never insure
the reforms that are so desirable and
lust now so much talked about. The
Great Teacher established His divine
mission as much on what he did for the
bodies as for the souls of men, and it is
fitting that the temple of the soul should
be made worthy to be the residence OF
its immortal tenant.-Ne1O York Tribune

PETROLEUM AS FUEL GROWING IN
FAVOR Petroleum fuel is beginning to
be used in California quite extensively.
The manufacturers of Los Angeles
unite in declaring it to be fully as cheap
as wood and coal in its first cost, with
the following important advantages: 1t
saves expense Of handling, feeding, rak-
ing, slagging, and ashing, and by not
having to open the fire doors, admitting
cold air to the boilers, steam is econo-
mized. Thus, in effect, is far cheaper
than other fuel. The mode of firing is
thus: Into the tank containing crude oil
as it comes from the well, a jet of steam
is sent, which carries with it charge of
oil, which, through pipe, is distribut-
ed in fine spray over the tire-chamber.
The heat is intense, and there is no re-
fuse. One man at the stop-cOck is the
sole attendant. What is wanted to
make this fuel q priceless boon to that
coast is q process by which iron and
other metallic ores can be smelted,
They abound throughout with lime for
fuxing and firestone for hearths. s.-NeIC

A Fisherman Eaten by AlligatOrs.

Almost every body in Lowndes
County, Ca, knew Downing, He was
q fisherman, and for years has supplied
the Valdosta market with fish from the
Ocean pond. He tished for several
davs, or until he had q load, and then
went to market. His protracted absence
during the first part of last week attract
ed the attention of his friends, who at
length went to his abode. Arriving at
the landing where he kept his boat, they
found his fish box and canoes, but the
fisherman was missing. Soon afterward
they reached the bank of the pond, and
saw two alligators emerge from the
grass near by and come toward the
shore, apparently seeking q fight. A
gun was procured and both alligators
were killed and dragged ashore. Their
stomachS contained human flesh, bones,
particles of clothing and other things
that showed plainly the fate of poor
