only for machine, product, or process, OF
great value, decided Importance, and OF

Amusing Incident IN India

A lady has just told me a re-
cent and droll experience. Her
husband is a magistrate in In
dia, and his young wife has not
vet learned Hindostan. Every
morning the policeman comes to
the magistrate, reports on the
condemned prisoners in ''iug,' .
asks what sentence they are to
receive and goes and executes it.
One morning when the magis-
trate was by accident absent the
kotaca1 or chakiddr came and was
told the Sabib was gone. "It
makes no difference" replied the
kntaool, "the Nam Sabib Il. e.
LADY, can sentence just as well. "
|"But you cannot see her." re-
piled the steward. "Go you then
and ask her if I shall put Lall
Mohammed in quaid (prison) for
three months" The steward
went and asked if Lall should
receive this sentence. The lady
thought that the khnnsa1nan in
quEed if he should send up
breakfast. She answered "Yes, :"
and Lall went up for his ninety
days, however, it turned out to
be righteous and mereiful SEN

expected to see a sudden start,
but it did not come. After a jab
at the tip end the 'bee'' crawled
along up, waiting for develop

man with the insect was getting
tired, when the stranger lazily

a Strangers Nose.

Some of those chaps who wear
their elbows down thin leaning
on saloon counters, have an arti-
fetal fly with a string attached
to the back, and sometimes these
toys can be handled to the
amusement Of small crowd.
When an unknown man recently
fell asleep i'll saloon on Michi-
gan avenue the young man with
an artificial fly was there. He
took position behind his victim,
who was lying back on his chair,
and presently the fly ali4hted on
the strangers nose, walked up
to the bridge and down, and
settled for a moment on the tip
end. The.sleeper never moved a
finger. The hy went oyer the old
route, dove into the corner oi
the left eye, gallopped over to
the right, and came down to the
grand stand on the dead run
but the sleeper slept on. 1t be-
gan to appear that he was used
to flies, and SO the game was
changed. By sticking a pir

A Bit of Moss.

To the eye of Him who watches
over q sparrow's fall there is
nothing great, nothing small
The man of science trains his
eye to a similar impartiality in
looking at nature. A moss to the
unframed eye seems insignif-
cant. To the eye of the botanist
it is little world. A friend once
complained to the great Swedish
botanist that Sweden did not
afford scope enough for the
study of nature. Linn@us laid
his hand on a bit of moss, on a
bed of which they were reclin-
ing, and said;
"Under this palm is materia
for the study of a Iifetime!"
0ne day, when lost in an Afri.
can desert, Mungo Park came
across tuft of moss. This bit ol
green growing in an arid waste
was q messenger from God te
the desponding explorer.
eff God cares for the moss,
he said to himself, surely he
cares for me-" And he went or
his way exhilarated by the sight
of a bit of moss.

TO LOUIsIANIANs.

The publishers of the New ORLEANS
TINES wish especially at this time that
every citizen of this State should be sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
OF the greatest Importance to Louisiana
are pending waiting solution. A conven-
ton of her delegates is now in session
drafting an organic law for adoption to
replace the present constitution, and
which it is hoped will radically reform
those fearful abuses, wasteful extravagan-
cies and gross injustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under
it. The snbject of restrictive quarantine as
to its efficacy in preventing the introduce
ton OF the scourge of yellow fever and its
! acknowledged bhghted effects upon the
business and prosperity Of the city OF New
Orleans and the. State is now engrosslng to
large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail-
road communications with our neighborlng
State of Texas, removal of the State capl-
tai. etc.. demand constant consideration
and discussion.
The publishers of the TINES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TINES
on all of these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good of the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, devei-
opment and growth depend their compen-
da
can they expect to subserve these ends.
The thorough independence of the TIMES.
its strength, courage and consistency IN
the discussion of all questions, its indefatl
gable and persistent labors to restore the
wonted prosperity of the South, have made
it recognized throughout the country as
the leading Southern journal and made 1t
quoted everywhere as the representative
of the best Southern thought and opinion.
The publishers wish that copy may be
placed in the hands of every citizen in this
State, that he may judge by perusai OF Its
merits, of its consistency, OF its motive. (,
As newspaper giving ALL the NEWS OF
the day as co mercial paper, showing
all the movements of business AMI com
merce as an organ of the people. represen
ting and conserving their best and highest
interests, they claim the TIMES to be with
out a rival in the South.
To meet the general shrinkage in values,
the subscription price of the TIMES has
been materially reduced. The TIMES tdaliy,
