COMPLIMENTARY INDEED.

Under the title of a Statesman in
ShoulderStrops," the Blade publishes
tha following, taken from that excel
lent Democratic paper, The Louisville
Journal:
At last the poor old Democratic
party is in luck. Like Saul, the son
of kish, who went out to seek his
fathers asses and found kingdom
like the blind hog that stumbled up
on pearl-it has hit upon the typi.
cal American. who is to release the
country from its thraldom to knayes
without subiecting it to the thrsldom
Of fools.
Evidently the Blade thought this
highly complimentary to the party
and to Hancock. I am willing to
concede the entire truthfulness of
the statement that the Democratic
party are on the lookout for asses
with fair show of getting their
usual number, but not enough to
found kingdom. IF the party has
done consistant thing, or even ex-
hibited an atum of craftsmanship, it
has been done on the blind hog prin-
ciple and is entitled to the merit of
chance. But isn't that a dismal sen
tence, sat last the poor old Demo
cratic Is IN h1ok." IN luck because
they by blind hogs sagacity found
the typical American. Then Breck-
inridge, McClellen, Seymour, Greeley
and Tilden we're not typical Ameri-
cans? and the Democratic party
lacked even the intelligence of a
Blind hog in nominating them. When
We consider the high praise bestowed
on these magnificent failures by Dem
ocratic papers and orators, have we
not every reason to feel that Hancock
may possibly be in the same category,
and that the Journal will add him
after November to the long list of
undesired Democratic Presidential
RlALTo.

Any one who reads the Southern
Democratic papers Tor even any OF
them, for that matter} cannot fail to
be struck with the fact that they do
not praise Hancock for fighting the
rebels, but only for trying to get
them back into the Urion with all
their old powers and privileges un
impaired, to regain by the ballot
what they lost by the sword.

for diseases of the throat and lungs that SCI

Eminent physicians in all parts OF the

OUR VETERANS.

AT the late agreeable reunion oftbe
Association of the Army of Tennessee,
Gen. J.B. Walton thus briefly |but hap
PLY responded to the toast: "I'he
Veterans of Louisiana"
TO this patriotic and eloquent SEN
timent, through your kind partially,
| am called upon to respond. The
honor is only equalled by the difficult
ty find of doing justice to the signal
virtues, to the noble devotion, to the
self-sacritice and to the splendid mar
tial valor of the long list of heroes
honored with the title OF veterans.
Louisiana can look back with mother
ly pride, and justly, like the mother
of the Gracchi, point to her jewels,
those gallant sons of 1914 and 1915;
to those dark and threatening days
when Wellington's old Peninsula SOL
djers, veterans Of India, Spain and
Portugal were here at our gates,
under the gallant, daring Packer
ham; when her sons, undismayed by
the impending peril, rallied under
the flag of their country, at the call
of Jackson, to win, on the memora-
BILE Eight, of January, the proud sur
name of Louisiana Veteran, On that
suspicious day, there doing battle in
front Of the invader, were present
Plauche and Villere, Touro aud Shcp-
herd, and q long roll of their stamp;
many of them attesting by their scars
in after life how bravely and devo-
tedly had their duty been performed.
How, Mr.. President, can | on an
occasion like this, and in q response
which necessarily must be brief, re-
call and evoke from the past all the
brilliant. memories which surround
the deeds of Louisiana's defenders,
and how shall |, passing on to another
signal epoch in the history of our
country-that of the Mexican war
how shall | follow a new epoch of
soldiers, who at their cOuntry's call
rallied to the rescue Of the sturdy
Taylor on the Rio Grande, and those
who formed part Of the triumphant

Marcus left the mill and was followed
by one +. NJ. Franklin, both in II

about one quarter of Il mile, Marcus

whether he has made any confession
respecting the affair.
He is no relation to the old family of

and authorizing the mayor to appoint
a committee of arrangements, and also
a committee to visit New Orleans and
extend the invitation in person. The
mayor stated that he had conferred
with citizens, and that u sufficient

COMMODORE BARRETT.
Morning Star.

NOTHING Quar-.
Commodore Edward Barrett, of the
United States Navy, died in New York
on the list. The deceased was born
near New Orleans IN 1923. His mother
was a descendant of the Marquis de
Villcrs, who fought against Braddock
at the latter's famous defeat. His
father, Thomas Barrett, Unsupported
collector of the port of New Orleans
by President Jackson, which position
he held for fifteen years. His son
entered the navy in 1910 as a midship-
man. After having served in many
positions he was promoted to
lieutenant commander in 1863. He
rendered signal service during the
late war. In May, 1871, he was
given u captains commission, and in
1873 he was assigned TO the Plymouth,
which position he retained until the
vessel was ordered out ofservice, and
Captain Barrett has been ever since
on waiting orders. He was among
the most recently appointed Of the
twenty five CommodOres of the navy,
Congress having advanced him to that
grade in January last. His funeral
took place from st. Joseph's Catholic
church, New York, on the Sd inst.
Solemn high mass was celebrated by
Rev. John Salter, assisted by Fathers
Fitzharris and Brennan as Deacon
and SubdeaCon. The sermon was
preached by Father Salter. The
Church, he said, honored the memory
of all patriotic men, because in the
character of the true patriot were to
be found honor and honesty, Com
modore Barrett, imbucd with the
purest patriotism, had braved death
in many q strife for a country he
loved better than life; yet it had pleas
cd God to spare that life until the
sea- warrior had retired to the peace
full surroundings of home. After the
services the lid of the coffin was re-
moved, and those present were per-
mtted to take q last look at the fca-
lures of the dead officer. Several
beautiful floral tributes were placed
on the bier. Commodore Barrett's
body was buried in the Cemetery Of
the Holy Cross at Flatbush. The
pail bearers were Rear Admiral Tren-
chard, Commodore Creighton, Capt.
Ghernadt, Capt. McCrea, DR.. Will
liams and Naval Constructor BOnsch.

of majority, in the vicinity of Bayou
st. Miguel of this parish, were on
their return with their guns from u

caught in q limb above his head, as
they were walkingth through the woods,
which jerked the muzzle of the gun
in front of him, and when i'll a parallel

NEW 0RLEA Ms PACIFIC RAILWAY,

The New Orleans PAGERS assertthat
the agreement through which theabove
road is to be built was finally rati-
fled on last Monday. jay Gould, Tom
Scott and the other capitalists whom
they represent,will now take the
ter in hand. According to the terms
of the agreement the line is to be flu
ished within two years.
Although it is not fully determined
that the Mississippi shall be crossed
at Baton Rouge, we cannot but believe
that the far seeing men who are at the
head of affairs will surely not lose the
opportunity of including the Capital
ofLouisiana on their line; asat no dis
tant day the projected Backbone road
from Vicksburg, passing through Lib
erty and Clinton, will bring a large
accession of trade and travel to their
own through this point.

DON'T CROSS A BRIDGE UNTIL
YOU COME TO IT."

There was once u man and q woman
who planned to 90 and spend the day
at a friends house, which was some
miles distant from their own.
SO one pleasant morning they start
ed out to make the visit, but they had
not gone far before the woman re-
membered Il bridge they had to cross
that was very old, and was said not
to be safe, and she immediately began
to worry about it.
"Nhat shall we do about the
bridge ~ she said to her husband. 81
forgot that bridge; it is u bad place;
suppose it should break through, and
we should fall into the water and be
drowned p
"Or event. said his wife, "suppose
yon should step on a rotten plank and
break your leg, what would become
of me and the baby ~
81 don't know said the man,
"what would become of any of us,
for | COUNT work, and we would all
starve to death"
SO they went on worrying aud wor-
rying and worrying, till they got to
the bridge, when 10 and behold they
saw that since they had been there
last new bridge had been built, and
they crossed over it in perfect safety,
and found that they might have spar
cd themselves all their anxiety.
Now that is just what the proverb
means; never waste your time worry
ing on what you think may possibly
be going to happen; don't think ooh,
suppose it should rain tomorrow So
that can't go out" or "what should
| do il | had u headache the day of
the party9'
Half the time the troubles we look
for do not come, and, rs has been
said, it is never worth while to waste
your time in worrying.
