An Amusing Discovery.
London Spectator

"Aa amusing discovery has just been
made at the town halls OF several
French villages" says the London
Truth, of ''plaster busts of the Republic,
which are nothing else than former
busts of the Empress Eugene, slightly
altered by the addition of bundle OF
corn ears in the hair, and a Phrygian
cap or some other Republican attri-
butte. It seems that an enterpr;sing
firm of plaster-casts merchants, having
purchased at discount shortly after
the 4th of September, 1870, all the eff
eies of the ex.Empress which were on
the market, have, by making these ju-
dicious alterations, succeeded in dis
posing Of their wares with considerable
profit.

THE consolidation of the Edison Tel
ephone company with the Bell Tele-
phone company caused the stock of the
latter to rise from $130 to 81 900 share
"a phenomenal advance, which made
few of the shareholders very wealthy,
particularly Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Brady and Mr.. Vail, formerly the
well-known superintendent Of the rail-
way mail service. They are understood
to hold q controlling interest in the
company's business for the states of
New York and New Jersey, which is re-
garded as the most valuable part of the
company's business.

calculate that possibly Adam and Eve
together ate 80 apples, thus: Adam ate

it more?' We do. Adam ate one (81)

If Adam ate he ate (a08) and if Eve

Association and Board of Health are

The late Constitutional Convention
was unable to obtain $25, 900 from the
State treasury to defray its expenses,
over and above the SAC, 900 allowed by
the General Assembly, because Auditor
Jumel decided that the Convention
had not the right, or power, to control
the funcs in the Treasury above the
amount appropriated by the Lcgisla.
turc.
BY the Constitution proposed by the
Convention, it seems that not only
Auditor Jumcl, but the Governor OF
the State, Is commanded to hold an
election, on tho first Tuesday of De
ccmber next, either to reject, or ratify
tho action of tho Convention. We
presume Auditor Jumel will not obey
the order of the Convention.
Will our able co,.frere of the Shreve-
port Standard-who is both good
writer and good lawyer-solve us the
riddle of the "sovranty" of a Constitu-
tional Convention We have observed
that he is decidedly of the opinion
that Convention of the Peoples del
egates is mere advisory committee
agreeing with Auditor Jumel, a very
able Constitutional lawycr-and that
nothing Constitutional Convention
does, or can 10, has any binding effect,
until what the Convention has done
has been submitted. How is the work
of such Convention to be submitted !?
Who orders the election the first
Tuesday in December next?
Not the People, but, manifcstly,
Auditor Jumel.
Who directs that there shall be an
election for all State and parochial
officers? The last legislature Or q
mere ministerial officer?
We arc not as familiar with the
authorities as is our learned brother of
the Standard. His ability cannot be
questioned, and we have read and
copied his articles with great pleasure;
but it appears to us-sitting, as we do,
at tho feet of Gamaliel-that there is
inexplicablc, as explained
by Gamalicl, in this Republican form
of government. Ought II Constitutional
Convention to come in second best
after II legislature? Did any State
have Il Legislature, before having q con-
stitutional convention? Where docs a
legislature get its powers? Has thore
over been a legislature antecedcnt to a
constitutional convention: 1t seems,
now, that the people Of Louisiana had
an Auditor, who sat down and squelched
their Convention /; and the Convention,
in turn, sits down on the Auditor by
ordering an election for the office he
holds
