Bret Harte said, among other things,
before the royal academy, in response
to the toast of Literature - rec
ognize your appreciation of what is
said to be distinctive American itera-
ture-a literature which laughs with
the American skies, and is by turns as
surprising and as extravagant as the
American weather. Indeed, am not
certain that these cyclones of American
humor tkat cross the Atlantic are not
as providentiaI as the American storms
that mitigate the austere monotony of
the English climate. For it has been
settled by your reviewers that American
literature is American humor, and that
this American humor is kind of
laughable impropriety, more or less
scantily clothed in words. 1t has been
settled that you are sober people, and
that nobody in America takes life seri-
ously-not even the highwaymen-and
that our literature is reflex of our
life.n

HIS MEMoRANDA.-The brief notes
from which Henry Ward Beecher
breaches his evening sermons would be
a curious puzzle to any stranger who
should attempt to decipher them.
They would give him no more help in
understanding the drift of the sermon
than SO many Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Catch words, names of individuals.
mathematical figures, have 4 word OF
meaning to him, but are unintelligible
to others.
The iato Bishop Wilberforce of
England had similar idiosyncrasy.
Another bishop heard him preach a
great sermon, in which one passage was
particularly grand and impressive. 1t
described with singular eloquence and
power the effect on the soul of the clear
ing away of intellectual doubts. The
bishop was so much impressed by 1t
that he was anxious to read it with care.
He begged the privilege of looking at
the manuscript Wilberforce put it into
his hands with smile, turned to the
page which contained the passage IN
quired for, and showed blank sheet OF
paper, inscribed with the single word
'Jog."

Fashion Notes.

The bridal flowers of the spring of
1880 are orange blossoms, white jas
mine, and lilies of the valley.
Dressy white elbow capes have a
foundation of white Surah silk, covered
with tiny plaitings of Breton lace.
The newest archery hat is the Lolctte,
said to have beeh made fashionable by
the Jersey beauty, Mrs. Langtry.
Colored Innings are new feature in
the ulsters, walking coats and mantles,
cardinal red and lilac being the colors
most worn.
A new style of jacket or coat is made
with vest, and the back is cut like the
swallow tail coats worn by the gentle
men on full dress occasions.
Raw oysters are served in bowls, cut
from solid ice, often in the most artistic
shapes, the base resting in shallow
dish hidden by moss and flowers.
Small, close fitting jackets with deep
capes are shown by the English tailors
for summer wear. They are stiff look
ing and have not the jauntiness OF
French styles.
Flirting fans is the new name given
to fans shaped like flower petal aHd
decorated with group of flowers, or
in the form Of heart with blossom
painted on them.
The new embroidered parasols show
some astonishing designs. One recent
ly exhibited has an oak tree embroid-
cred on each gore and genuine moss
hanging from it's limbs.
A novel umbrella handle has set of
ivory tablets inclosed in it. A touch
of the finger presses them out for use
when desired, the most convenient
memorandum book possible.
A new dress made in Paris, is of In
dia muslin. trimmed with scarfs Of
Oriental silk, embroidered with gold.
The train is of lustreless white silk,
bordered with white muslin puffings.
A late novelty in dress goods is ecru
cotton, with bayadere stripes of bright
shades of blue, scarlet, yellow and
black. Over these are sometimes draped
the cheese cloths of last summer.

A teacher ought to feel responsible
ity for the spirit and methods and at
tainment of all his scholars. He must
take his scholars as he finds them; but
he must not leave them SO. If they are
not inclined to study their lessons be-
forehand, it is his duty to see that they
come to this way of doing. If they
want him to do all the talking and are
reluctant to take any part in question
ing about the lesson, the responsibility
is on him to see that they feel different
ly and do differently When teacher
confesses that his scholars do not study,
and are not attentive, and will at the
best be only passive hearers in the class,
he exposes his lack as teacher, rather
than their lack as scholars. A teach
er's true mission is to take just such
scholars as these, and bring them to a
better standard of thinking and doing.

Railroad Items.

From Capt. Buchanan, engineer
Of this division Of the Louisiana
Western road we learn that the
work on the road progresses fav-
orally. About four and a half
miles of road is laid westward,
and after the completion of the
bridge at Col. BoudreNux's place,
which is lO4 feet in length, the
track layers will meet with very
few impedimeuts between that
point and the Mermentau river.
1t is very probable that by this
time the track coming estward is
laid to the Marmentau river SO
that the gap remaining to be filed
is about SO miles. Rails aud ties
are being brought forward as
rapidly as possible. a train of
several cars with material for the
road arrived Thursday night.

Under this caption that spright-
ly and wide-awake Journal the
Capitogian thus proceeds to score
the wishy washy Democrats who
rendered the last session Of the
Legislature so disgraceful =
Prominent among the members Of
the General Assembly, who
fought bravely for honest laws
and a faithful adherence to the
spirit and letter of the Constitu-
ton, were Senators Cunningham,
Lucket, Watkins, Burlington and
others. No inducements or
threats were Of avail to cause
them to depart from the line OF
their duty as representatives OF
the interests of their constituents
or as champions of the honor OF
our State and of the Democratic
party.
In the midst of one Of the most
INSCRIPTIONS cabals ever organl'
zed in our Legislatures, firmly
did they remain at their posts
sans pei n ct sans reproche!
And the good people through
out the State will applaud and
remember those honorable public
servants whom no temptation
could seduce.
When it is remembered, that
with very few exceptions, the
press Of New Orleans, that "argus
eyed and virtuous press" that wa;
so indispensable at the Capital
as argued in the constitutional
Convention by the opponents Of
removal, to expose the evil prac
tees IF Legislators-aye, thai
very press almost in unison at
tackled these patriotic gentleman
by grossly impugning their mo
tives, in order to deceive public
opinion elsewhere.
The attempt. however, ha
singnally failed, and those worth.
representatives will be welcomed
at their homes by a grateful PEG
pie, who thoroughly comprehend
the brazen effrontery displayed
by these city papers, who can wei
say: "Mea Culpa."
