CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS.

Under article 81 appropriations are author
lied for the support OF the asylums for the in
sane, for the deaf dumb and blind, and the
charity hospitals and public charitable insti-
tutions conducted under State authority. For
information respecting the condition and re-
qurements Of these State institutions, refer
you to the reports of the officers In charge of
the same. Appropriations for these merito-
rious public charities must be apportioned
according to their relative wants and limited
according to the States diminished revenue.
We ca not provide for our public charities on
the same liberal scale as In more fortunate
aud richer communities. 1t Is to be hoped
that the support by each parish OF its unfor-
tunate classes, according to article 1853, may
relieve State charitable institutions to some
extent. The sums appropriated In past years,
when the general tax rate was much higher
than now, and on a much larger assessment,
will not be a proper precedent to follow for
the future

Certificate of a Prominent Citizen

two years. He threw them away

including large quantity OF morphine, all OF

Sharp Criticism on the Republican

The Republican candidate for President

q platform constructed with great pains by
the Hon. Edwards. Pierrepont and others.
It is made up of platitudes and lies. The
proportion of lies is about the same as in
former years; 10 the amount OF twaddle

and his assistants have managed TO sur
pass anything in recent political literature,

which are TO guide and inspire the Ell

| but for the INDUSTRIOUS dishonesty of sue
cessive Republican administrations the
public debt would have been further
reduced by hundreds of millions, or the
burdens of the people would have been

stolen under Grant.
We affirm that no further grant of the

TRIBUTE OF LOVE TO THE MEMORY OF GRANDMA
WILLIS ON.
There's another mound in the old church yard,
There's u wearied form NJ rcst,
Aud the earth has yelled from our longing gaze
Tho one we loved the best
Sweetly the wild birds sing to-day,
And gently the grasses wave,
And softly the passing zGphyrs play
O'er the aged sleoper's grave.
Butwe know that her white-robed spirit stands
Among the blood washed throng,
With "palms Of victory" in her hands
She sWclls the grand new song.
And though our hearts are crushed and sad
We smile through the binding tears,
For we Know she has gone to a "rich reward
For all those waiting years.
And we almost catch radiant CLEAN
Through "the golden gates ajar,"
And we seem to hear the thrilling strains
OF the grand angelic choir,
But above the loud hossannas of praise,
Come the welcome words, swell done. "
And our eager spirits scarce can wait
UNTIL we can, too, go home
