About fluffy People.

One of the .oddest things to witness,
if not the most disagreeable 10 en-
counter, is the faculty which some
people have for taking oifense where
no offense is meant-''taking huff, !"
as the phrase goes. with reason or
without = and making themselves
and evry one else uncomfortable, for
nothing deeper than mood or more
than fancy. Huffy people are to be
met with. of all ages and in every
station, neither years nor condition
bringing necessarily wisdom and un-
suspiciousness; but we are bound to
say that the larger proportion will be
generally found among women, and
chiefly among those who are of an
uncertain social position, or who are
unhappy in their circumstances, not
to speak of their tempers. Huffiness,
which seems to be self-assertion in
what may be called the negative form,
and which the possessors thereof clas-
sify as high spirit or sensitiveness,
according as they are passionate or
sullen, is in reality the product of
self-distrust. The person who has
self-respect and nothing TO fear, who
is of an assured social status and
happy private condition, is never apt
to take offense.
Many and great are the dangers
of action with huffy people. The
dangers of testing are, above all, the
greatest. 1t may be laid down as an
absolute rule, which has no excep-
ton anywhere, that no huffy person
can hear joke good humoredly, or
take it as it is meant. If you at
tempt the simplest form of chatting
-you will soon be made to find out
your mistake; and not unfreqnently
the whole harmony of an evening
has been set wrong because a thin
skinned. huffy person has taken a
pleasant jest as personal affront,
and either blazed out or gloomed
sullenly, according to his or her in-
dividual disposition.

Persons who may have been in this
town at various times within the last
three or four months will remember
a small Frenchman, who was always
drunk, always in good humor, and
always talking very loud, seemingly
with the view of affording amuse-
ment to any and all who had nothing
better TO do than listen TO bis bab-
blings. This man gave the name OF
John Baptiste Vincent. and claimed
to hail from New Orleans. lie is the
same man that had the sham duel
played on him last summer. After a
two weeks drunk, winding mp With

suddenly disappeared. Tracks were
found. supposed to be his, leading
into the river at q point about one
mile above Colfax, and as no return

cluded he had committed suicide.
Nothing more was known OF him
until Monday noon, when his body
was discovered floating in the river,
with buzzards sitting on it and how
ing in the air. Upon being towed to
shore it was found to be in most
sickening plight, being badly decom-
posed, while the carton birds bad
eaten all the flesh from the face and
neck. After a hurried examination
the body was wrapped 10 sheet and
buried out of sight in rough grave
under the river bank Thus another
victim goes to swell the long list of
those who have persisted, body and
soul, because men will traffic in rum
to the hurt of their fellow man.

/. We pledge ourselves anew to the
constitutional doctrines and traditions
Of the Democratic party as illustrated
by the teaching and example of u Ion Q

of the last National convention of the

to that dangerous spirit of encroacil-
ment which tends to consolidate the
powers Of all the departments in one,
and thus to create, whatever be the
form of government, a real despotism.
No sumptuary laws, separation of

5. The right to free ballot is the

shals to intimidate and Obstruct the
electors, and the unprecedented use of
the veto to maintain its corrupt and
despotic power. insults the people and
imperils their institutions.
z. The great fraud of 1867, by
which, upon a false count of the cleo
tOral votes of two States, the candi-
date defeated at the polls was declared
to be President, and for the first time
in American history the will of the
people was set aside under threat of
military violence, struck deadly blow
at our system of representative gov
eminent. The Democratic party, to
preserve the country from the horrors
of civil war, submitted for the time,
in firm and patriotic faith that the
people would punish this crime in 1880.
This issue proceeds and dwarfs every
other. 1t imposes more sacred duty
upon the people of the Union than
ever addressed the conscience of a ma
ton of freemen.
8. We execrate the course of this
Administration in making places in
crime, and demand reform by statute
which shall make it forever impossible
for the defeated candidate to bride his
way to the seat of usurper by billet
ing villains upon the people.
9. The resolution of Samuel j. Til
den not again To be candidate for the
exalted place to which he was elected
by majority of his countrymen, and
from which he was excluded by the
leaders of the Republican party, is re-
ceived by the Democrats of the United
States with sensibility, and they de-
clare their confidence in his wisdom,
patriotism and integrity mistaken by
the assaults of common enemy, and
they further assure him that he is fol-
lowed into the retirement he has chO-
sen for himself by the sympathy and
respect of his fellow citizens, who re-
gard him as one who, by elevating the
standards of public morality and
adjoining and purifying the public ser.
vice, merits the lasting gratitude OF
his country and his party.
10. Free ships and living chance
for American commerce on the seas
and on the land. No discrimination
in favor of transportation lines, cor
poratiOns, or monOpolies.
IL. Amendment of the Burlingame
treaty. No more Chinese immigration
except for travel, education, and for
eign commerce., and therein carefully
guarded.
IL. Public money and public credit
for public purposes solely, and public
land for actual settlers.
ID. The Democratic party is the
friend of labor and the labOring man,
and pledges itself to protect him
alike against the cormorants and the
commune.
ID. We congratulate the country
upon the honesty and thrift of Dem
0cratic Congress, which has has re-
duced the public expenditure $40, OOO,-
QUO year; upon the continuation OF
prosperity at home, and the national
honor abroad, and, above all, upon the
promise of such change in the adj
ministration of the government as
shall insure us genuine and lasting
reform in every department of the
public service.

The elections thus far have served
to raise the already sanguine hopes
of the Democrats, while the Repub-
licans can i'll conceal their disap-
pointment at unlooked-for and dam
aging losses. First Alabama gave a
$4,000 Democratic majority. Arkan-
sas followed with SO, 900 Democratic
majority. Then came Vermont with
its $4,000 Republican majority, and
now comes Maine, "the State OF Jim
Blaine" the boasted stronghold of
Republicanism since 1852, in which
they could confidently expect sweep
ing majorities, and 10! and behold,
the Democrats have secured two out
of five congressman and elected the
Governor by 1000 or 1900, leaving
the Republicans the poor consolation,
of bare majority in the State Leg
islature and three Congressman.

The crop of mast is unnsully large
this year, which is unexpected good
fortune to hog raisers, as two years
of good mast rarely come together.
The crop was exceptionally good last
year, and this, with the mild winter
they had to go through, has given
the porkers better growth than for
several years. As plenty of corn has
been made, We may expect to have
cheap meat and bread this winter.

If there is to be perpetual strife
among the citizens of this parish as
as long as the court house question
remains unsettled; and it petitions
to have it left to vote of the people
are to be ignored and set at nought
by counter petitions favoring wildcat
schemes, would it not be a good plan
for our police jury to set the matter
at rest by going ahead and having a
court house built on the acre of land
already owned by the parish in the
present town of Colfax?
