Might Have Escaped.

II has been recently discovered, from
the memoirs of Klindworth, we'll known
in the political world from his long con,
nection with Talleyrand, Metternich and
Guizot. that Marie Antoinette might
have escaped death and returned to
Austria but for her own devotion and
DESPAIR. Klindworth quotes the ac.
count given him by NJ. Grandiaier, who
was in 1898 entrusted by Robespierre
with mission to separate Austria n ON
the anti French coalition. An agree
ment was nearly concluded with the
Austrian Government ON condition that
Queen and her daughter should be re-
leased; but Marie Antoinette would not
consent. M. Grandidie- said: "The
next morning at the appointed hour l
was at the Temple with the Canon of
Cathedral Of Waltsen. He had put on
q black coat and white cravat, and was
provided with two autograph letters to
tho Queen, sealed blythe Emperor and
Empress of Austria. Two Of the NUM-
cipal guard and a member of the com.
mune accompanied US, and we soon
found ourselves before the Queen. She
was seated = stool, occupied in mend.
q coarse black serge skirt. She turned
slightly toward us, making no other ac-
acknowledgement OF our presence. Her
clothes were in tatters; around her neck
she had coarse cotton handkerchief,
and her shoes were very much worn.
She stopped like an old woman, her face
was exceedingly pale, and her little
head dress allowed us to see her hair;
which was as white As snow. I made
several steps toward her, bowed re-.
spectfully, and presented the Emperor's
messenger. At this moment for the
first time she raised her eyes; her look
made an inefaceable impression, which
will remain with me through my life.
In her countenance, which was formerly
30 gay and radiant, there was something
almost dull and idiotic. The canon ap-
preached, making an humble obeisance,
and presented his letters. After glanc-
ing quickly and indifferently through
them, she Immediately returned them,
saying in deep, sepulchral voice, in
French: Please thank the Emperor
and Empress for me, and say to them
that await with impatience the mo-
ment when l shall be united to him
forever"

Where the Profit Is,

A German gentleman who keeps a
lager beer shop treated himself to days
vacation, leaving his son in charge of
''ter pizziness" and a. keg of beer. On
his return he found the keg empty, and
addressed his son as follows "How is
dis, Yawcob, dat you make me only one
dollar and dirty cents for dose keg of
beer Show me how you draws ter
beer" Yawcob took the glass and drew
it nearly full Of beer, with but the least
margin of froth, when the old gentle
man, 8eizing his hand, said ''You
make dose glasses stand higher down
from the keg, Yaweob; der profit in the
peer pizziness IS in der pubbles."

Time is now supplied to street clocks,
public offices, hotels and private dwell

Cremation in Italy.

The Italians are resolved to make the
system of cremation as perfect as posi-
ble The headquarters OF the institution
at Milan have recently received a very
singular addition. Its customers were
confronted with difficulty which at
first had not been anticipated. The diff
iculty was to know what to do with
the ashes of their deceased relatives.
If seemed improper that ordinary sepul-
tire should follow so unusual process as
cremation. The management at Milan
has at last found its way out Of the diff
ficulty. Incineration is, after all, but a
revival of an old fashion, and it was
only necessary to follow out the usages
of It's originators in order to cause all
difficulty to disappear. The Crematory
Temple at Milan is to have an annex,
which will, in fact, be cemetery. The
municipality has already selected its
architect, ard approved the plans which
he has furnished. The cemeterv, when
completed, will differ es widely from an
ordinary graveyard as cremation differs
from ordinary sepultre. 1t will be an
Etruscan building, SO feet high, by
about 20 feet long, and will be furnished
with recesses, l20 in number, according
to the present design, in each of which
several chinery urns can be placed. The
authorities are SO confident Of the sue
cess Of the undertaking, that they have
ordered vaults or catacombs to be con-
structed under the nave, and these will
become the private property of families.
ThespraCtice of cremation seems to have
made more way in Italy than in Ger
many, to which two countries Of Europe
it has as yet been almost entirely con-
fined London News.

The Patriot-Dcmocrat thinks that
Gov. Wilt ought to resign; thatif not,
a storm Of Indignation will be raised
among the cohorts Of Democracy that
will shake the State to its foundation.
We would remind our esteemed con-
temporary that Gov. Wilt is not to
blame for the dclinqucncics of the ley
islaturc. In this body there are men
who should be called on by their con-
stitucncics to resign, and we believe
that the guilt of the one and the scorn
OF the other will yet nerve them to Il
reputation of each and every Repre-
sentative and Senator who proved
faithlcss to his trust. The State
body polite can be purified only
through one channel. The parishes
must weed out those who are subscr-
Went to corrupt influences, and clc-
vatc the good, faithful and patriotic.
And nothing can be accomplished by
a bolt from the Democratic ranks. Let
this be borne in mind.

ENDORSING OUR POSITION.

On last Saturday tho Parish Com
mittec Of the Democratic party elect
cd the editor of this paper, the dele
gate to represent East Baton Rouge
| in the State Central Committee, G which
meets to-day, in New Orleans, for the
purpose Of organizing for the forth
coming Presidential campaign. For
several reasons we had rcfrained from
soliciting the support of any Of the
gentlemen composing the Parish Com
mittec, in this connection; the main
one being, that the CArIroLlAN has
not hcsitatcd to apply what it be-
lievcd to be deserved condemnation
ofsomc Of the acts performed by party
managers, as also the failure of the
present administration and General
Assembly to comply with certain ur-
gent demands of the people, as ex-
pressed in the letter and spirit of the
Constitution. We therefore regard
the honor conferred OH us under the
circumstances, as an endorsement by
the Democratic party Of East Baton
Rouge, through its representatives, of
the views we have urged in the col
umns Of our journal.
We understand it to be the deter
mination Of the unfaltcring Dcmocra-
cy Of this parish to stand squarely by
the nominees Of the party, whoever
they may be, under any and all cir
cllmstanccs; but they do expect fair
dealings in the Conventions, so that
the most worthy members Of the
party may not be Defeated by trickc,y
for the benefit of those who are not
the real choice Of the majority.
We believe too, that tIloY expect of
the men whom they elect to Offices of
high trust and cmoIument, that they
will strictly observe the laws and cn-
force them; and when acting in q rep
resentativc capacity, be guided in
their course by the will OF the people.
Our humble efforts will he guided
in accordance with the sentiments
expressed in the above; believing that
by so doing we are contcnding for the
advanccmcntof Democratic principles
and through these, to the general
good.
Louisiana capitolian., 1880-05-29
YES, We WILL.

In reference to our criticism upon
the chicancry and thimblc rigging
practiccd by certain so-callcd Demo.
Gratis, and the necessity for deter
mined action on the part of the pure
element Of the party to oust them out
Of place and power, the Amitc City
Independent says:
That's right Brother Jas'y, you arc
teaching good doctrine. Now keep
saying things over and over till the
people have learned them by heart.
1t takes them a long time to learn,
and line must be upon line, and pre-
ccpt upon prcccpt, but they will hcw
to the line, once they sec where it is.
This is our intention, and it shall
bc the guiding principle of the CArI-
roLIAN to watch with jealous eye the
dishonest manipulations of trickstcrs
who disgrace the name of the party
by calling themselves Democrats, and
sound the buglc blast Of warning to
those whose interests arc about to
suffer. This work must bc done in
the party ranks, and Democrats alone
are the ones to perform it. If we wait
until the nominations arc made and
the party lines drawn in tho heat of
contest, it will be too late. We must
act beforehand with that wisdom and
promptncss which is the handspring
of success in all undertakings. Let
all Democrats have an eye single to
one purpose and that is to defeat in
our nominating conventions every
man whose life and character is not
above rrproach and it's corruptivc as
sociations, for they only tend to
blackcn the name and destroy the
usefulness of Democracy.
Sound the signal--purc men to the
front!
