CAN 1T REDUCE STATE EXPENSES

From an article in the Baton Rouge
Advocate signed J. II. H. the following
INSTANCES are mentioned in which re-
trenchment can be had,
The almost useless office of Licutcn-
ant Governor who now gets $300o.OO,
should be abolished, or else paid Per
Diem during the session of the Leglsla-
ture. the only period in which he has
ANYTHING to do, say 100000
The Secretary of State receives $1,000
90 and fees; his salary should come
down one-half at least.
He has an Assistant at 100000 who
should he returned home to earn Ills
living in some other manner.
A State Librarian has $780, 90; hun
dreds of competent persons, ladies or
gentlemen would be glad to have that
situation for $4,000.
The Attorney General gets S5O00.OO,
with an Assistant at 100000 and a clerk
at $15O0.O0. Before the war there wa:
no Assistant, and the Attorney General
| was paid $350000.
The Auditors Office costs simply
S23370 90 which work was done previous
to the war for S7200.00.
The Treasu1er's office cost $125000 OF
which could be reduced so per cent.
The Adiutant Generals Office cOs1
from $5Oo0.O0 to 100000 for which al
the good received is a little military
tom foolely on parade days, by militar.
ORGANIZATIONS the first clause in whose
organization reads, "This company il
to be considered us disbanded in case 0
war" The whole business should b'
abolished, or at least reduced to max
imum expense Of 100000.
Let proper men be sent to the Con

that will bring the expenses OF tn
State to just figure.

A correspondent Of the K0inische Ze,iung describes
the new Khedive Of Egypt. Tewhk /. as u young
man of twenty-six years. who possesses agree
able exterior. Is OF pleasing manner. speaks
cellen French. and has cultivated the useful of
listening well to what others say without pedging
himself by too eager responses. He has never pos
scssed harcm. but has lived hitherto with his one
wife after the European manner. at his magnificent
country villa. He has All English nurse for his
children. HIS library and collection of maps
be less used than his billiard table. He
has never been his fathers favorite--indecd.
the first born seldom has the first place in the aiec-
tions or an Oriental parent. just we find that the
heroes of tho popular tales invariably younger
sons. When IsmaiI. the ex-Khedive. has had

sented him ~ young fellow of feeble gifts. II IN
hard to say how far this patcrnal characterization is
far behind the father in natural endowmcnts.
especially In acuteness of wit ana power
OF influencing others. At the time OF the
opening OF the Suez Canal. when Cairo swarmed
with ladies OF all sorts OF character and
of character, he acquired the nickname OF Princo

that he is not in hurry TO reign.
Such qualities are rcproach. Those who
stand on the most intimate terms with him to

assert that he Is not In the least self wled des

should be true IL may be taken as q pledge that he
will be less prey to the dospotc usts OF the ORR

fact that he is not surrounded by harem nor by a

happy omen for his future government OF the un-

Perils of Ancient Astrologers.

In ancient times astrologers had many
perils, as the following instances will
show: "Dost thou know where thou
wilt pass Christmas?" asked Henry-VII.
Q4SS) of an astrologer. He could not
tell. Whereupon the kings grace,
(which did love merry jest" made
answer, "Then | am wiser than thou,
for / know thou wilt spend Christmas
in prison." Gailcazzo, Duke of Milan,
was even merrier at the expense of an
astrologer, WHO foretold him that he
would die early. "And how long do
you expect to live?" he inquired Of the
astrologer. "My Lord, my star prom
Uses me long life" "Never trust in
your star, man; you are to be hanged
this moment" And the duke took good
care that his own prediction should be
fulfilled. Heggiage, an Arab general,
was more courteous in the expression of
his displeasure. The general was sick
when an astrologer, by way of comfort
ing him, assured bis excellency that the
illness from which, he was suffering
would terminate fatally. "Since you
have said it," replied the general, cit
must be so, and | have so great conf
dence in your skill that / should be glad
to have the benefit of your advice in
the next world. You will, therefore,
be so glad as to go there first and await
for orders" The astrologer was imme

sible, aud meantime he waited and
watched.
Mr.. Macpherson's habits changed, too,
somewhat. From having never come
ashore, he now never staid on ship, if he
could get away, when shore was in sight.
Town after town he secured, journey
after journey he managed to make, bank
after bank he visited, at post after post
he asked. But he found no trace of
what ne sought; and as the year closed
he SAID to himself that it was of no use,
and that he was a man with memory
and without nope. Still he continued to
go ashore when in the harbor, although
more from habit now than from expec-
tation, sunshine or storm making little
difference.
Z He had come ashore one day as usual,
on the afternoon of the morning when
the frigate entered port, and had taken
stroll through the little town, and had
lost himself in the upper part of it.
The lowering weather of the morning
had ripened to a drizzling mist at last,
and now it was raining in a steady
down-pour that the wind caught up in
slanting sheets. He had, however,
bought an umbrella at some shop, and
was hurrylng down to the shore-pictur-
esque as ever with all its boats and nets,
in the advancing twilight, wrapped in
gusts of rain that now and then opened
and disclosed the masts rocking in the
otfing-and wondering only if he would
find the sailors waiting with the gig.
The wind was straight in his face, and
the rain came fine as needles; he held
the umbrella, as he bent to the force of
the gale, directly before him, like an
African warriors shield; and that is the
reason that suddenly he found himself
brought to standstill, as with sudden
shock his umbrella had interlocked with
another, like two horned creatures doing
battle. GA thousand pardons," he ex-
claimed, grutf1y, in English, before he
bethought himself of his French. "Do
pray excuse me-" came parcel of silver
notes, in English, too. And then, in
another moment, both of the umbrellas
were sailing off upon the blast and
careering out to sea-but what cared
they who saw them in that gathering
gloom, as Emily and he were clasped in
one another's arms, and life was whole
again.
They were married tie next day; and
although, year afterward, Norman left
the navy and entered business, it was
not till that morose man had earned the
reputation of being the iolliest dog

THE MAN AND THE PICNIC.

Hinder the shellbark hickory tree
THE picnie nan he stands;
A woeful looking man Is ne:
with bruised and grimy hands;
And the soil that sticks to his trousers knee
lis the soil of several lands.
His hair is tumbled his hat is torn,
His clothes are like the ground;
Be wishes he had meier been born,
Or born, had meier been found
He glares ana scowls in wrathful scorn
And oft he looks around.
At early morn, all dressed in white.
He sought the picnic park;
His face was clean, mis- heart was light,
His loud song Knocked the lark
But now, although the day is bright,
His world, alas! is dark.
In Joyous mood, at early morn. = -
de sat upon the stump
But soon, as though upon thorn,
he sat, with mighty Jump
lie leaped aloft, and ali forlorn rn
In haste he did erump.
For 10, the big black ants
With nippers long and slim,
went swiftly crawling up his pants,
And made it warm for him
And through the woods they made him dance 2
with gasp, and groan, and vim.
And when the rustic feast is spread,
And she is sitting by,
His wildwood garland on her head
The lovelight in her eye,
He-woe, oh, woel would he were dead =
Sits in the custard pie
And now they send him up the tree
To fix the picnic swing,
Ard up the shellbarks scraggy side
They laugh to see him cling;
They cannot hear the words ne cried
" Dad fetch! dog gonel dat bingIn
And now he wisheth be were down.
And yet he cannot see,
Just how the giggle stare and frown
Escaped by him may be;
lie knOw5 he cannot scramble down
With mis- back against the tree.
SObbipg, and siding, and wailing,
HomeWaFd alone he goes;
Clay, pie and grass stain on his clothes
More and mo e plainly shows;
And he VOWS that to any more picnics
lie never will go, he knows.
but the morning comes and its rising sun
Brings balm to his tattered breeks;
he thinks after all, he had lots of fun,
And hopefully, gayly he speaks

The Stomach Cannot BE Fretghted
With greater trash than a violent drastic pur-
gatlve. True, such medicine relieves consti-
patton for the time, but atthe expense Of great
injury to the intestinal canal, which it both in
flames and weakens, thus uniting it for the
performance Of its proper functions. Widely
different is the action Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, tonic aperient which produces effects
prompt, indeed, but never violent and convuls-
ing. The purity of its botanic ingredients, its
unobjectionable. flavor, its genial influence

remedial action in cases Of constipation, liver
complaint and dyspepsia, combine to render it
most desirable family specific. 1t increases
both physical vlgor and substance, tranquilizes
and invigorates the nervous system, and gives
an unwonted relish for the food. A wineglass
three times daily is about the average dose.

SEE that the fruiting canes of black
berries and raspberries are properly tied
up to the stakes or trellis. The young
shoots now growing will form cranes
for next years fruiting, and should be

A GREAT mistake is made often in
planting corn early. Indian corn re-
quires warm ground and hot weather,
and it will not grow until these condi-
tions are present. If planted previous
to this time the kernel is apt to rot, and
if the corn does come up it is not fit for
much. Corn early planted has gaunt-
let to run in the usual summer draught.
