a VRTERAN.We had tba nla.sn,

A VETERAN We had the pleasure
OF seeing in Lake Charles last Wednes-
day, John R. Smart, ESQ.,, Of Vernon
parish. The old gentleman is erect in
form, and vigorous in health and
strength, though nearly seventy-three
years old. Many years ago he married
in this parish, and is widely known as
a democrat of the Jeffersonian school
and Jacksonian nerve, never having
voted a scratched state or national ticket
in his life. Many years ago, when
Opelousas, eighty miles northeast of
us, was the nearest polling place for
the people of this section, then form
ing part of St Landry parish, John r.
Smart was one of the few democrats
from this region who used to consider
it duty, no less than a pleasure, to
ride one hundred and sixty miles, there
and back, to vote the democratic ticket.
He looks as if there were in him TWEEN
ty years yet of active work for the de-
mocratic party. 1t is eminently fitting
that this veteran democrat, surrounded
by affectionate relatives, and honored
by the entire community, should peace
fully end his days in Vernon, the only
parish in Louisiana which at the last
election cast solid democratic vote.
LEGISLATIVE CoMMIrTEEs.-The N.
Q. Democrat very sensibly suggests to
our present General Assembly the inn
portance of reducing the number of its
committees. Speaking of the twenty
six Senate committees, as heretofore
existing, it shows that the duties re-
quired of them could be better per-
formed by much smaller number. It
says, for example, that bills heretofore
referred to the committee on Claims,
Banks and Banking, Auditing and Su-
peryising Expenses of the Senate, Re-
trenchment and Reform, and Pensions,
might better be referred to the Finance
committee. Where there are many
committees many of them must be in
session at the same time, and members
belonging to several committees can,
of course, attend only one at time.
The same suggestions apply to the
House committees. The Democrats
advice is timely and valuable, and we
hope the General Assembly will profit
by it.

The Empress Eugenle's famous pearl
necklace is now the property of one the
richest women in Europe. Countess
Henckel. The empress had the pearls
sold in London. One Of her ladies, ac.
companied by two friends of the I'm
perial widow, carried them to an En-
glish jeweler, who bought them and dis
posed of them to the Countess Henckel
for $780, 900 francs. This lady had some
of the pearls less beautiful than the
others removed, and added two other
rows; one, which came from the jewels
sold by the Queen Of Naples, and the
other from the necklace of the Virgin
Of Atocha, sold by great Spanish per-
sonage. At present the suite of pearls
belonging to the Countess, earrings and
brooch included, is worth $4,000 or
100000 francs. 1t is said to be the finest
set Of pearls in the world.

THERE is division of sentiment among
the faculty of Yale collage as to the use
of q certain text book and the teachings
of certain doctrines. In restricted ap-
plication the discussion, which for some
time has been going on, covers the use
in the classroom of Herbert Spencer's
''Study of Sociology" by Prof. Wilber
G. Sumner, who holds tine chair of po-
itical and social science. In it's full
scope and significance, it involves the
whole issue between science and relig.
ion, and it's final settlement will decide
the attitude of the college toward the
modern spirit ofinquiry, which proposes
to be guided by reason rather than by
faith.

A TELEGRAPH messenger boy while
passing along Clifford street, Rochester,
N. Y, few days since, heard a strange
noise in some shrubbery beside the walk.
On invest igation he found cat which
was completely enveloped by huge
striped shake. The snake was wound
round and round the body of the poor
feline, and the latter was completely ex-
hausted in it's efforts to free himself.
The snake was killed and the body dis
engaged from that of the cat, but the
latter died almost instantaneously. It's
body was covered with bruises, while
that of the snake was bitten in many
