Fourteenth Street Cut.

The work at the west end of the inn
provement TO Fourteenth street has
been completed, and horses and We
hicles have been driving over it. The
east end is scarcely completed, and
Weir's men are now digging out lime
stone. This is no loss. however, as it
goes TO complete the Seventeenth street
improvements. People living in this
portion Of the city believe much good
will result from thus opening a thor
oughfare and exit from the east of the
city, and consider the labor not in vain.

Luck is waiting for something to turn

A BLUNDER RECTIFIED.

Congress ut its last session rcctified
the blunder of u previous and Republi-
can Congress, which made the salaries
of small Postmasters dependent on tho
number of stamps sold, not on tho
number of stamps cancelled. The re-
suit was the wholesale and shameless
sale of stamps on commission below
their value all over tho county, the
Government losing in revenue over
million and Il half yearly. At tho
beginning OF tho present fiscal year tho
new system went into effect. Tho re-
turns of the first quarter arc in and
show q reduction in tho sums paid to
postInasters of $33O,OOO. This reduc-
ton alone amounts to nearly as much
as tho previous loss of revenue, ana
when the large stock of stamps now in
the country is used up, the prospective
loss of the high commission enjoyed
under the old law having led small
postnastcrs to ovcrscll the market, the
revenue will probably increase tho
amount million. 1t is extremely
likely that this simple administrative
charge, therefore, will end by dimin-
ishing the expenditure and Increasing
the revenue together to the amount OF
two millions and over.

EARLY HISTORY OF NATCnIToCnEs

from Natchitoches Nindicator.1
Scarcely a stranger arrives here but
who inquiries "Isn't this very old
place "' Whether this be. from its
buildings, fashioned after the by-gonc
century, its narrow streets and listlcss
dreamy air generally, or from the
vague idea prevailing the travellers
minds that they remember Natchito-
ches in their reading of jamestown,
Va, on the Spanish invasion of Mexico
we cannot say yet, hundreds OF
times have we heard the inquiry. We
can answer; it is very, very old town.
If Darwin's theory of tho reproductive
system be true, then the date of the
foundation of our city is lost in the dim
vista of by-gone ages. Robert Chave-
lier LaSalle, travcrsing this portion of
the continent early in 1855, and but a
short time before his death, discovered
on this spot a fiourishing village, sur
rounded by orchards and fields of
maize, inhabited by peaceful tribe of
red men; who called themselves the
Nacutoshe Indians. Thirty years later,
the indomitabIe, hardy French took
possession, and " settled" the present
city. This was in January, 17l7, that
the vo,/ceye,u;S under command OF NJ. dc
LaA1otte founded the present city of
Natchitochcs upon the ruins of that
Indian village.
At an early period, however, this
section had, it seems, much attraction
for the early pioneer. LaIiarpe tells
US that in May, 100, Bicnvillc, by

A DIFFICULT CASE.

81 don't clearly understand the case u
said the mayor; "you want to sleep in
room away from your wifc?'
Yes, that's it.''
"But amt that rather singular
proceeding ?''
1t is, sir, but life and death depend
on it.",
els she insane ?"
No, but she's mad"
"That's what 1 mean,' explained
the mayor, i" she's lost her mind.''
" No sir, she hasn't lost her mind,
but she's found her temper-she's
sworn to be the death of me, and be-
lieve she'll keep her word"
I" Kill you ~ exclaimed the Mortified
mayor.
magistrates would call it an out and
out homicide or not, but she's sworn to
talk me to DEATH"
This was evidently a phase of mari
tai life which had never come under
the observation of the mayor before.
His experience as magistrate had
acquainted him with many peculiari-
ties of domestic life, but this was the
first time that he had ever heard of a
woman undertaking to talk her hus-
band to DEATH The mayor felt that he
had struck mine of information, which
in the interest of science, he ought
to probe to the bottom. But the dis
hevcled hair, the wild staring eyes, the
paid face, and the quivcring lips of
the husband, showed that the case was
urgent and his remedy must be imne-
diate to be effectual.
II I can just keep her out of that
room it'll be all right" murmured the
husband.
The mayor had mentally conned
every legal device known to the law
and found them unavaiiing for an en-
ergcncy like this. Men think rapidly
when life and death hang in the scales.
He pulled off the robe of the magistrate
and donned the cap of the physician.
1t was as Dr.Sopris that he spoke now {!
have heard that women have an
aversion to assafoetida.
The smell of it is narcotic upon their
nervous system and possesses such
quieting tendencies that they view it
with intense dislike. So much so, in
deed, my friend, that they won't know
ingly remain in the neighborhood OF
assafoetida for any consideration. NV
advice 10 you, therefore, is to 60 over
to the drug store and get a four ounce
vial filled with solution of assafntida
With this thoroughly saturate your
garments and sleeping apartment
leave the door open and trust to
chance.''
He acted on the suggestion.
