Hon, e. w. Robertson, of East Baton
Rouge. present congressman from this
district, and the Democratic nominee
far reelection, addressed his fellow
citizens at the Courthouse last Thursday
His speech was mild, conservative, and
entirely free from that spirit OF bitter
ness and denunciation which until lately
has been so characteristic OF public
sneakers. But at the same time it was
forcible. He passed upon the central
ling tendencies of the Republican party,
showing that the Republicans rode over
HE Constitution when it did not suit
their designs and invoked it when it
did he discussed the sugar interests OF
the State, and in this connection stated
that the Democratic was not free-trade
party. but was in favor of a properly adj
insted protective tariff for the great in
dustries of the country he was in favor
Of the Mississippi leyees being built and
kept up by the general government !;
and wound up by explaining the condi-
ton Of the public lands in our State,
which had been granted to railroad
companies. He spoke an hour and q
half, and though he handled business
TOPICS, he held the attention OF the au-
dicnce to the end,

BE liberal to your farms and they will be
liberal to you. A farm is in one respect
like looking glass--it reflects the charac-
ter Of the owner exactly. he is parsi-
monious his farm will show il. II he is .
man of taste, his buildings, his fences and
general arrangements Of his farm will tell
the tale. No effort on his part to di.guise
his real thoughts or sentiments will avail
anything so long as the operations Of his
farm belle his words.
The farmer Who invests freely in his farm
is sure to be paid well for his risk and irou-
BILE. Liberality is providing utensils. says
the Western Rural, is the saving Of both
time and labor. The more perfect the far

So, also. is it with his working cattle and
his stock. The more perfect in their kinds
are ever the most profitable. Liberalisy IN
good barns and warm shelters is the source
of health, strength and comfort to animals,
causes them to thrive on less food and Sc
cures from damage all sorts of crops.
Liberaliiy also in the provision OF TODD
for domestic animals Is the source Of flesh.

source Of its beauty.

Our two or three brief paragraphs IL
llstrating the sagacity Of the horse have
brought US many interesting notes and clip
pings from friends far and near. One Of
the latest memoranda on this fruitful theme,
describes an incident said to have occurred
at the Cape Of Good Hope: In Great
Reineti is q large market square, where
farmers, traders, and others, arriving with
produce a, any hour, day or night, may put
the cattle TO .eommonage" while owners
bivouac at their wagons, as is the wont Of
African travellers, until the eight O'Clock
market auction. An old horse belonging to
one Of these parties had vanity wandered in
search Of grass and waier it was during the
severe drouth from which the country Is
now recovering Coming to the great bare
market place, and finding men talking
there be singled out one Of them, and pulled
him BY the sleeve with his teeth. The man.
thinking the horse nigh, bite, repulsed him.
but it was not very roughly done, so he re-
turned to the charge, again and again he
was a persevering animal, and upon pull
ling his sleeve for the third time, the owner
awoke to the idea that deed of kindness
was required; so putting his hand on the
horses neck, he said: "All right, old fel-
low march on the horse led the way to

Some colored servants we're lounging around

the white man, filed the bucket With water |;
three times it was replenished and emptied
before the great thirst was assuaged, and
then the grateful brute almost spoke his
thanks to his friend by rubbing gently
against his arm. A story analogous to the
foregoing is told by friend, whose uncle,
IN old country squire, had favorite hunter

summer day he was athirst, and could get
no water. He tried to draw the groom's
attention, but without success; not to be

Two lit le palms together ciasped
At the mothers patient knee.
