BARBAROUS TREATMENT.

~
ion have laws in their civii code
prohibiting the cruel treatment
Of domestic animals. The Mis-
sissippi Legislature has before it
bill at the present looking to-
ward that end There is no doubt
that it will become law. Such
legislation is humane and emf
nently proper. The most casual
observer cannot but notice the
ill-.rea.ment to which the pa-
tent, toiIiog animals OF our par
ish are daily subjected Brutal
drivers and heartless riders goad
and slash the poor helpless ami
NAL that can do nothing b t
writhe and suffer beneath the
singing lash and ponaerous
club. hundreds of men-and
negroes especially-never reflect
upon the excrutiating pain they
infict upon a mule Or an OK.
Could those animals express
their suferings in tones of pity,
tHeir shrieks would often, no
doubt, touch the hearts and en-
list the sympathy Of their cruel
masters. But they endure their
torture in silent agony and the
barbarous driver chuckles like q
demonlac at the spasmodic
writings Of his patient beast
under the thong.
We have noticed upon our
streets parties with a keen lash
wickedly picking the hair from
the back of an OK merely to dis
play their skill and dexterity with
whip Not long since a negro
drove an OK team into this town
and the hide of his 'leader" was
literally tanned by the burning,
singing, torturing blows Of the
hide-splitting lash. We have seen
mules struck with all the might of
a buck negro over the head with
such. things as trace chains,
walking sticks and fence rails.
This is morally wrong. It is
inhuman. It is taking the adj
vantage of one OF Gods crea-
lures that labor and toll for th o
support and comfort of him who
thus maltreats them. Hard in
| deed would it be to obtain sup
port, were it not for the incalcu-
liable value and assistance Of our
animal labor. Much more easily
can they live without US. Then
how important that they should
be cared for! People who are
too heartless and too barbarous
to care for them from a human
standpoint, should be forced to
do SO. Let US have law so I'M
equivocal in it's exactions that
no quirk can shield the wretch
who barbarously Furnishes do
nestle animals from its clutches.
Give US law to punish the un-
mercifnl driver and the inhuman
rider. Give us a law that will
protect the poor, defenseless an
imal that contributes SO much to
our every comfort. It can be
done. We ask the Legislature to
give the subject their attention.

Senator Gibson.

Gen. Randall Lee Gibson has
been chosen by the Louisiana
Legislature to represent this
Sat- III the Senate chamber OF
the nation. Gibson is a native
of Kentucky, and is noted for
much of the intrepidity and gal
lantry which so frequently char
acterize the sons Of that proud
and powerful State. He was
educated at Yale College, from
which he graduated with distin-
guisbed honors in 1853. He af-
terward studied Law. In that
profession he has been a shining
light at the Louisiana bar ever
since he made this State his
home. During the war he bore
9 record of fdauntless courage
and heroic patriotism. He passed
through and came out of that
struggle without a stain upon
his fair name.
Since the war he has taken an
active part in the politics of the
day, and his every act has at
tested more strongly his devo-
tion to country and to freedom.
Gen. Gibson has been an an
firing worker in Congress Tor the
last five years.
His fame and name are ma
t1onal. He commands the re-
spect Of the ''hig guns Of the
nation. He Yields a powerful
influence in Washington, where
he is regarded as one of the
most polished Of Southern gen
tlemen. Louisiana may well be
proud of her Senators-Jonas
and Gibson. The Legislature
could not have made better
selection.

A CRYING BABT.

dreams ny continued anu
neyer-ceasipg exercise OF It's
lungs. We have heard this man
give a history Of one nights
nursing, and Tie account is
enough TO make the stoatest
heart quail.
Nov, it is not our purpose to
tender any sy mpathy toward the
father of this vociferous and
sIespIess baby. Far be we from
wasting our precions pity upon
any such man. Our object in
writing upon this subject is sim
ply to show men who object to
crying babies their total inabil-
ity to appreciate the beautiful!
in Nature. Their conception of
what is lovely: pIaintive and mel
odious is as blunt and rusty as
au iron wedge, They are litel-
ally dragging out their existence
in upid sur'iness. None Of the
exquisite joys of lite are realizs I'D
and appreciated by them. The
man who objects to the music
that rolls SO easily and naturally
from the curled lips of a crying
babe is actually unfit for any
kind of society. HIS life is with
out purpose. He has no aim
in the great human struggle for
pre- emiuence over the brute. His
soul is as emotionless as the
cheek of an Egyptian mummy.
We have no sympathy for any
man who rejoices not in the mel
lianous shrieks Of co1icky baby.
In fact, we cannot endure the
presence of such a tyrant.
Mon who love to hear the baby
cry are good men They have
warm hearts. They feel that
they are "heroes ID the strife,"'
when bobbing and dandling the
stiff back urchin from one knee
to the other. As the yels grow
louder good mems knees bob
faster. They squeeze and hug
aud Jump and kiss and fondle the
dear little thing, while every eff
fort but aggravates the bowling
and frantic fury of the "dumpsy
bumpsy." Still good men enjoy
the racket. A good father feels
that such babe is a paragon of
Infinite excellence. II it's a boy,
he fancies he can detect in the
keen Wells the future orator hold
ing the surging ropulace spell
bound with his magnetic vocifer-
atoms. II it is girl. the kind
hearted, doting father imagines
he can some day place her fair
hand 10 that of some man, over
whom she will WELD a decided
and emphatic, control. These
reflections stimulate tie fond pa
rent to make more desperate eff
forts to sootbe the crying. babe.
He rapidly sings every song he
ever heard. He never stops
rocking, and patting, and plying
the poor little "ducky ducky."
He never thinks Of how time
passes away. Minutes fly like
seconds. He is too busy to see
the hour hand OF the clock rs it
points to the rapidly passing
time. Moreover, the music OF
the babe has such power to
dispel sleepiness and drowsiness
While the babe holds out to cry
dull sleep never forces itself upon
the eyes Of the kind father. Per-

A SToCK CRATER Hezekia the HUSBAND
man lived in the valley Of Carson hard by tn,
city of Sheridan.
One day hs girded his loins and came unite
the chief city with his corn, apple juice an(
muskrat skins.
And he met a man upon the corner of tbs
street who was of comely app eac' h'
said unto him:
"Bchold, there is ore in the north enc of
great richness and the value thereof is two
hundred, now is the time to buy.
The stranger was smooth of speech and
Hezekia hardened unto him.
And they drank together and made merry
over the prospect, and the stranger said
''See that We tell no man of this, for befeld
il ys do the hand Of terror would be .pon ne
and mine forever"
And Hezakia swear an oath.
Il will tell no man, net even the wife ef
my bosom or the neighsors who til the fields
hard by"
And when he had sworn the oath he went
home and behold he proclaimed unto them.
bay We of the stocks of the north end and
haste ye to gather them in, for the boom Is
at hand and will come upon us like thief in
the night. Harken unto the voice OF Hezekia
for he hath point.
And the wise men shock their heads, say
ing:
''How is this that thou CONTEST 10 us with
these points, who art thou that thou knowest
good from evil. Is there not the horse vf por
phyry in the north drift, and behold do not
the bears gather in Pine street to destroy Us!
Go to, ye deceiver Of the people,
And he answered them,
"Ye fools that listen not to tae voice of the
prophets nor the sayings of the pested"
"And many who heard him said:
lis this not Hezeka the tiller of the soil
and the man of the Lsrd!''
And they bought at the topmost figures.
And hezekia mortgageG his possessions and
got hundred shares on margin and ne said
unto his wife:
"We will visit Milan, Paris and Carson in
the Spring
And when the Spring was come the stock
was auch depressed and he smote his breast
and rent his clothes, saying:
Behold the hand Of tribulation if upon me
and the terrors of hell gather me round about,
and his broker called aloud,
Send up sone nud;' and the people
round about made mouths at him and said
I" Behold the Smart Aleck he's nice pill,
amt he p and they spat upon him.
And the holders Of the mortgages came
down upon the habitations Of the burg and
a great cry went mp.
And one day Hez.kia met the stranger of
soft speech and he smote him sore upon the
nose saying
"Why didst thou deceive the children of
men p and the stranger mopped the ground
with him, and called aloud
behold I'm on that lay myself > and the
police took them both in.
AHd Hezekia paid his fine and went home
filled with wrath, and he vowed q vow,
"I'll let 'em aone;" but he could not, be-
cause Of the margin and the mud.
