This mornings train ON Inorganic Railroad
will bear back TO his beautiful AcadiAn home.
near vsrmilion. that venerable gentlemen
and eminent citizen. ex-Gov. Alexander
Mouton. His brief sojourn in New Orleans
has wildly recalled to our older citizens the
delightful memories OF the past---thoee golden
days before the war, when Louisiana boasted
host Of able and pure men, and when peace
and prosperity emiled upon the land. The ex-
Governor and his wife came to this city upon
one Of the first trains that came over the
Morgan Railroad, upon the invitation Of Mr..
Pandely, the superintendent Of the road, and
the occasion was made gala one lmme-
diately Ia the vicinity Of Gov. Mouton's home
the country IL thickly settled by his 1mme-
date descendants, and Il was determined to
make up party to I'LL the special car placed
at his dieposal for an excursion to the city.
The selection Of the party WAS mat
ter OF no little delloacy and
difficulty. as the family Is one OF the largest
In the State, and numbers several hundred
near vermilion. Among the number were
many who had never left their prairie homes,
and who had therefore never seen railroad
before, or experienced the delight Of rapid
transit behind locomotive. A pleasant
party Of thirty odd was, however. made up
and was swiftly borne from the ancient town
Of Vermilion to this city, which to many Of
them was . revelation. In conversation with
q number OF frlendD last evening, the Gov
ernor dwelt with delight upon the comfort
and rapidity Of the trip, and compared Il with
the long, tedious and disagreeable methods Of
transportation which have hithereto obtained.
Hs had almost despaired Of ever seeing the
iron horse careering over the level lands Of
the prairies Of our Western parishes. though
for nearly thirty years he has been laboring
steadily to that end; and now that bis hopes
have been attained he INDUCES the ltveliest
anticlpatlons OF the beneficial results to 40
crue 10 the State through the opening up Of
portion Of country which he speaks Of as the
most beautiful and fruitful under the sun.

WHAT CAN BE DASE FOB IRELAND

The New York Herald, in q lengthy
editorial on lrele;,,d, asked u pertinent
question, which itproceeds to answer.
1t says: !.
"What, then,|ls can the Irish in
America and Americans in general do
to help Irelandi In the first, as We
have repeatedly isrged, food is needed
and at once; wis'out the loss Of u
day. A shiploadsOf provisions will do
more for the relief ireland now than
the most statesnfnhlike or the most
brilliant plans for j. redistribution Of
the land. Secondly, money is needed
to promote and assist emigration on q
somewhat large scalc-systen,matized,
wcll-prepared emigration Of Irish
families to our farming lands.
ave shall rejoice to SEQ Mr.. Parnell
use the opportunities he will have in
this country to further these ends.
He has the power to do q great and
real service to his distressed country
men, for there will bc a widespread
desire to see and hear him and his
appeals on tins side Of the water, il
they are in the direction we have
urged, will meet with immediate and
practical response, and will secure
relief to many thousands of families
while to feed the flame of agitation
will be only to make the condition of
his co"ntrymeM a hundred times
worse"

the days Of their l;;ves without know
Ing what it il to s,rain q muscle, and
then take to cruncEing with their heels
the men of body and heart that make
the land-these fellows need to be
bolstered out, and people that can and
will d. the right thing should 80 to
the front. Every man who has head
bly, enough to hope to matte his way
in the world, and who llas arms stout
enough to back i up, oughtn't tO l,e
laid out under thb sole Of \ puppyisl',
donkeyish msstes, He ought to have

have something VI show for his life
time. What can i man do in Ireland
no matter how hard he strives I No
home to win for himself, no land to
call his own. THO very ground he's

the Squire, stepping aside to make

Murderous Deeds of a Maniac.

GALVESTON, Jan. l0.-To-morrow's
News will publish the following spe-
cial from Cambridge:
NJ. A. Seay, who is supposed to be
insane, went to the residence of J. N.
Ladd, ten miles east of here and shot
Ladd dead without the least provo
cation. Thence he went to Samuel
Tubbs' house and shot him five times.
Tubbs is not expected to live. Seay
then went to Logan's farm and in-
formed Logan Of what he had done,
and before he could be prevented
placed pistol to his own head and
blew out his brains.

An EDITORS vAIEDIoToRY.

Tho editor Of 4 New York State
journal, on retiring from the profession
not long since, embraced tho occasion
to give Atterance tO some sentiments
which arc applicable the world over
among newspaper readers:
"Having for nearly seven years
been a weekly visitor at your homes,
kindly sharing the hospitality, and We
hope, contributing somewhat 70 the
comfort Of tho same, it only remains
to shake hands all around, take an
effectionate and heart breaking fare
well, and come no more, probably,
forever.
Goodbye! It has been spoken over
the dead lying in their cofIins. It has
been spoken when an ocean was to
roll in between parting hearts, but it
never is spoken with such pathos and
JUNCTION as when q country editor,
with the memory ofhis hard grubbings
and his scant comforts pressing upon
him, hands his valedictory over to
the compositor, puts the stub end Of
his wornuut pencil into his breeches
pockets, and shufiled his rheumatic
legs down stairs to 90 no more back
forever.
1--WE part upon the square," W.
proclaim general amnesty all around.
We retire foryiving our enemies, and
shall haunt those who 0bstinately
refuse to forgive us. We are bound
to be forgiven.
Farmers, good-by! You nre the
dorsal column of the county editors
subscription list. 1t could not stand
erect without your help. May the
time soon come when no mortgage,
like great morass in the centre Of u
pleasant meadow, shall ,obetruct.
Have you ever given us wood Of crimp
pattern and highly perforated
cordagei The act is forgiven. Have
you ever given US butter OF most
unl,allowed tlavori We hope after a
little to forgive even this. There Is
Il particular class Of patrons whom
every departing country editor rem
bers with special grantitude' 1t il
the substantial, steadfast patrons the
men who are never blown out Of favor
with him by the light gusts Of i'll wind.
They ate the men who cash their bills
with thorough professional honor and
promptness. We remember NIL such
men in G-with downright and un-
compromising gratitude. We count
their names with thankfullness.
They are like the brick walls which
hold this office above the street below.
Support the new management. A
country newspaper needs friends, and
cannot afford to have enemies. Don't
get mad il something fails to suit, and
stop your patronage. Don't prattle
all over the village about the short
comings of the editors cooperate
with and encourage him to get news,
and see that he l,as his share Of money
tn do business with. Don't loafaround
his office and steal his time. Don't
give him too much good advice. He
knows more about his business, proba-
bly than you do. Help but do not
hinder. Again, goodbye J"

A SAD AcCIDENT.-A few days
since, Mr.. Charles Butcher, living on
the Beatty place, a few miles below

several days and finally died Of his
injuries. He was about forty years

A WITTY PARsoN.


most irrepressible hun'or. On one
occasion a young officer scoffed ut tho
idea that it required 10 much time
and study to write 4 sermon as min
listers pretend, and offered bet that
he would preach half an hour on any
passage in the Old Testament without
the slightest preparation. Mr.. Nor.
rison took the bet and gave for the
text "And the ass opened his mouth
and spoke" The pars0n won the
wager, the officer being rather disin
cliDed to employ his eloqucnce upon
that text.
On one occasion Mr.. Morrison en-
treated an officer to pardon a poor
soldier for some offense he llad COM
mitted. The officer agreed to do 40
if be would in turn grant him the first
favor he should ,.sk.
Mr.. Morrison agreed to that. In a
day or two the officer demanded that
the ceremony Of baptism should be
performed on puppy. The clergy
man agreed to it, and q party fmany
gentlemen assembled to witness the
novel baptism. Mr.. Morrison desired
the officer to hold mp the puppy, as
was customary IN the baptism ofchll-
dren, and said:
"As am a minister of the Church
ofScotland, must proceed according
to the ceremonies Of the church,"
''Ccrtainly," said the Major; ~ ex-
pcct all the ceremony"
"Well, then, Major, ! begin by the
usual question; you acknowledge
yourself the father Of this puppy"
A roar oflaughter burst from the
crowd, the officer threw the candidate
for baptism away, and thus the witty
minister turned the laugh against the
infdel, who intended to deride the
sacred ordinance.

TIE HONOR OF VIRGINIA.
N. Y. Observer.

Gentlemen of intelligence, high
character and property, write to us
from Virginia that the negro vote
gave the State into the hands Of the
readjusters orrepudiation party. And
the facts 60 plainly to prove it.
"The property owners are heartily
in favor Of paying the debt" Uni

States, and the Northern ones too,
must endure until they abolish ig.
