In addition to the emphatic dis

and Hayes, we are also informed
that Mr.. Napoleon Robin repudia-

soon on Tuesday morning as the
ticket was disclosed, dispatches
were sent to Grand Coteau and
Washington, by Mr.. Estilette, to
prevent the nliscllieflintendea. The
matter is perfectly well understood

The vote for delegates to the
constitutional convention in nine
teen parishes, including Orleans, is
35,2G3. These parishes in 1876
cast S6,447 votes, showing d falling
off in the vote of 81, 1S4, or SO per
cent. If the vote in the other par
ishes shows a falling otfin the same
proportion, the total vote Of the
State for delegates will not exceed
G4,413. OF the vote east in the
nineteen parishes from which we
have official returns the regular de
mocratic nominees received 1922
votes, the regular republican nom
inees 1884, and the nationalists
577. The slnallness of the demo
cratic vote is due to the fact that
in most OF the democratic parishes
there was no opposition ticlet.-N.

Public confidence being fully re-
stored, and the banks having re-
ceiHed a sufficient amount of their
called in balances from New York
and other cities to meet all emer-
gencies which may by any possi-
bllity arise, the Clearing House
last night revoked their rule adop-
ted some DAYS ago, limiting the
drafts of depositors to $500 d day,
and regular business will be re-
sumed to-day.
The announcement will, no
doubt, be received with general
satisfaction by the business CON-
munity, as the rule. although it
was considered well advised and
was generally accepted ID good
spirit, oeeasiopea considerable In
convenience and no little trouble
IN certain business transactions,
tparticularly in cotton buying.
One million and a half of dollars
arrived in this city yesterday, and
this, with the amount previously
received and on band prior to the
suspension, would enable the
banks, even if the panicky feeling
had not died ont, to meet all de-
lnands which might be made upon
them.

HE CURE FOR GossIP.-What is this cure 70,
gossip? Simply culture. There is a great des
OF gossip that has no malignity in It. Coco
natured people talk about their neighbors be
cause, and only because, they have nothing else
to talk about. As we write, there comes TO rs
the picture Of family or young ladies. w,
have seen them at homo; we have met them in
galleries OF art; we have caught glimpse OF
them going from book store or a library. with
a fresh volume In their hands. When we meet
them they are full OF what they have seen and
read. They are trimming With questions. One
topic OF conversation is dropped only TO give
place to another in which they are interested.
We have left them after delightful bour st,m-
ulated and refreshed, and during the whole
hour not neighbours garment was soiled by
80 much as touch. They had something to
talk about. They knew something and wanted
to know more. They could listen az we'll A
they could talk. They speak freely OF neigh
bors doings and belongings. They had no
temptation to gossip, because the doings OF
their neighbors formed subject very much
less interesting than those which grow out of
their knowledge and their culture. And this
tells the whole story. The confirmed gossip is
always either malicious or ignorant. The one
variety needs change Of heart, and the other
change OF pasture. Gossip is always per-
sonal confession either Of malice or imbecllity,
and the young szould not only shun it. but by
the most thorough culture relieve themselves
from temptation to indulge in it. Itisa low.
frivolous, and too often dirty business. There
are country neighborhoods in which it RACES
like pest. Churches are split in pieces BY it.
Neighbors are made enemies for lifs by it. In
many persons it degenerates into a chronic
disease, practically incurable.

ABOUT FASHION IN wnrrna.-There are
fashions in writing, 40 there are in drese, and
in almost everything that pertains to the per.
sonality OF men. And by fashion do not
mean style, either that which distinguishes the
individual, or that which marks period. The
latter may be called fashion more properly
than the former. For example, the old way OF
writing prose, cumbrous Lonesome and in
volved, which prevailed between the ElEabethan
period and the time OF Dryden-who did more
for English prose than he did for English po-
etry--was fashion. Dryden, and after him
Addison, killed it and We may be sure that il
will never come to life again But it was not a
style; 1t In no way expressed any mental pc
cuharity OF the writer. He merely adopted it,
just as he put on the hat and coat OF the period
The change Of fashion which gave us the mod
ern free and varied manner of prose writing
velvet aud lace ruffles and big wigs ia the dress
OF men to wooden stuffs and sober colors,
natural hair and simplicity. Since then there
have been some changes in literary fashion OF
minor importance. The greatest OF these was
the introduction Of the Johnsonian vocabulary
and period. This fashion, happily, soon passed
away. Having in it radical element OF alb
surdity, when assumed by persons whose
thoughts needed strength rather than imitation
or decoration, it became ridiculous. Then came
the fashion Of elegant language, and the sway
of pedants and parsers. This was broken down
chiefly by the prose whiting Of Walter Scott,
aided largely by the Edinburgh Review writer's,
and by Wilson and others in Blackwood. Scott
the most vivid OF all narrative writer's. the mas
ter story-teller OF modern days, was an inexact
writer; one who cared very little for rule OF
any kind in language, and who thought moth
ing about the grammatical construction OF his
sentences, even If he knew anything upon the
subject, which is more than doubtful. His
influence, which was for freedom entirely
changed the fashion in narrative style and it
affected prose style in all other kinds OF writ
ing. Macaulay, tie next succeeding great
writer OF English prose, although his style was
peculiar and highly charact eristic canno, be
SAID to have set any fashion In writing. He
presented the singular uaion OF splendor with
precision. HIS style cannot be called chaste,
and l venture to say that it can hardly be
called manly style, 80 disturbed is 1t with
consciousness but yet amid all it's striving
generally successful striving-,fter striking
effects and imposing forms, it is exact, correct
After all, it's perfect clearness is its hiobest
beauty, although perhaps not to every reader
ts chlefest charm. But the trick of Macaulay's
writing is hard to catch, sndShe has had no
imitators and has setlno fashion,
Il were well if he had more followers In the
perfectly clean and clear construction OF his
sentences; but even then, clearness is not
