A LESSON FOR BOYS.

On the 22d of February, two
boys, named Christine Clayton
and George Ray, were playing
together in the Third District.
They had probably been accus-
toned to the perusal of dime
novels, and the ordinary amuse-
ments seemed to them stale,
fiat, and uuprofitable. So they
engaged in the Dangerous pas
time of throwing knives, after
the fashion ofthe Indian braves.
Ray cast the kuife at Clayton,
bat the weapon missed its aim.
Then it we S Clayton's turn. The
blade entered Rays left arm,
above the elbow, producing a
slight wound. No particular
artantion was given to the at
fair, but last week the boy be-
came i'll, lockjaw ensued, and
he died.
Clayton was arrested. The
knife used was an old, 1usty,
pointless blade of a bowie knife
the handIe of which was miss
ing.-N. 0. Picayune.

try, and Il perpet,lity of the in
StitutionS under which it is en-
joyed."
He survived twenty years af-
ter he had laid aside the robes
of office.
The days of NIoaIoe, his sue
cessor, were the days of our po-
litical millennium. He also
served two terms and Struck
the same key note at it's con-
c!usion in his eighth annual
message:
Il cannot conclude this COM
muntcation, the last of the kind
which I shall have to make,
without recollecting with great
sensibility and heartfelt graft
tude, the many instances ofthe
public confidence and generous
support [ have received from
my fe!low-citizens in the vari-
Gus trusts with which l have
been honored. I have thus
quoted, dear Bill, from the Ia
ther of his Country, the Father
Of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, the Father Of the Consti-
tuition, and the Father of the
Monroe Doctrine, to show that
example ripened into precedent
and precedent ripened into
prescriptive constitutional COM
mon law.
These men were actors and
factors in our governmental
creation, and their benedictions
are blended with their example,
and Oh ght never to be departed
from.
If this letter is quotations, it
is bettet than to be loquacious,
as the quotations are heir-looms
and household jewels of the
nation. More anon.

LATEST STYLE.

\ little "pnll-back" sought one day
The gates of Paradise;
st. Peter wiped his spcctacles
And rubbed his ancient eyes.
And thIongs of female angels came,
With curious gaze the while,
Intent, as ladies always are,
To see tho ''latest style"
The saint put on his glasses, then
An observation took:
"What! what" he said, "this traverse:
The laws Of mustn't look
Tied back in front, piled up behind,
Twill never do, l fear!
The thing is too ridiculous
You cannot enter here
What did she do, my curious friend?
Shr got behind 4 tree,
And in jiii.y ont she came
AS angels ought to be,
st. Peter kissed her then, and said,
"Pass i'll my little dear;
But, mlnd, you mustn't introduce
Such naughty fashions here"

A FIERCE COMBAT.

About three weeks ago, dur
ing the beautiful sunny weather
we have had which induced the
trees to bud and bloom, I was
walking inmy garden one morn
ing, thinking about preparing 6
for an early start for spring veg
etables, when I saw a large rat
tlesnal>e summing. May first i'm
pulse was to go to the house,
get a gun. and kill it. But on
looking around I saw q large
cat cautiously creeping upon
the reptile. Anticipating afght
and equally desirous Of getting
rid of the cat, which killed chick
ems, I concluded to witness his
attackupon the snake. The cat
crawled upon it's stomach, pull
ing along Oh it's feet, whishing
it's tail from side toside, and ev-
cry now and then stretching it's
neck to view the snake. When
about eight or ten feet off, the
reptile suddenly coiled up,
sprung it's rattle, faced the cat
and darted it's forhed tongue out
rapidly. The cat commenced a
rapid circle around the snake,
so fast in fact that the eye
could hardly keep up with it..
At last it got near enough and
made a dart at it's enemy, but
through providential reasons it
went high above the snake,
which also struch at the cat,
thus breahing it's coil. The cat
went too far, and by the time
it had turned to face its foe, the
reptile was again coiled and
ready for the attack. The same
mcthol was carried on for four
or five times, occupying atlcast
half an hour. The cat wished
to catch the snake, but seemed
aware that if it missed the mech
it would be certain death. At
the sixth assault they met, and
instantly the snake was wrap
ped in several folds around the
body Of the eat, which used its
sharp claws with deadly efforts
The eat had been bitten On the
head and nrch several times,
and both continued to fight
| The SNAKE was torn ncarly tC
shrcGs, but did not Unloosc IFS
coil around its victim. The pol
| son was swift and deadly, but
before the cat died it caught the
snakes head in its mouth ant
crushed it. and fighting they
died, the snake cnwranplnG th'
cat in its coils. The snake
measured 4 feet 8 inches ant
had thirteen rattles.--Amerlcu'

JEWS HARP TO BILL ARP OF THE
THIRD TERM.

DEAR B1LL-Things just
ahead look squal]y, and unless
we do someuthing, thugs will
turn up that won't suit us. I
hav'nt the slightest intention of
htytiny Gen. Grants feelings,
or to rutile his temper. For
were I to attempt it, I might be
met with the answer similar to
that of the polite Frenchman to
the TRADE Of his landlady
against the great Napoleon,
when in the height Of bis pow
er:
EMadame, lie Empereur will
be very much griev ven he
hear you speak so Of him."
Grants past administration
is sterotyped in history; wheth-
er good or bad, it is past.
The question I want venti-
lated is, ought he to allow his
name to be put up for President
for a third term. They say ex-
ample is better than precept,
and I would on the point show
several examples which have so
solidifel, into precedent that
they have become a part of our
constitutional common lar.
On one point we all agree,
that Washington was a perfect
success-he lived at the right
time, fought at the right time,
ruled at the right time and re-
tired at the right time-he sunk
to his rest in full orbed sp:en-
dor, the admiration of the
world.
No one doubts but that he
could have been chosen for a
third term if he had chosen so
to do, and he could have set
the precedent of a life Presi-
dency.
Those who think that he re-
tired solely from personal and
selfish considerations, fall far
short Of the mark.
A deeper political philosophy
lay at the bottom. He had
struggled and succeeded in
rearing a Republic-he knew
the centralizing disposition of
power, he knew the disposition
of men to homio1atry, Ga new
word Bill, but the meaning is
man morship.) He knew that if
ne gIided into a third term and
a fourth term, it might glide in
to life and from thence it would
be but a step to royalty. Re-
garding it in that light his fare
ro,, - 'n"ass is the crowning act
of hislife.
"The period for a new cleo
ton of q citizen to administer
the executive government OF
the United States being not tar
distant, and the time actually
arrived when your thoughts
must be employed in desl9nat-
inc the person who is to be
clothed with that important
trust, it appears to me proper,
especially as it may conduce TO
q more distinct expression OF
the public voice that l should
now apprise you of the reso!1-
ton / have formed to dec'tn'
being considered among the
number of those out OF whom
the choice is to be made"
Then followes his farewell
counsels to his people, Whlcl
fall like the dying song OF th'
swan, softer and sweeter, iron
being its last.

example has been followed.
The next in the role is Thom-
as Jefferson. 1t is generally
bezSored that he Is the author of
the Declaration Of Inderpend-
ence. Ifthere is any doubt on
the point however, | can remove
lit by the following historical
incident.
When Congress was in COM
mittee of the whole on the OF
iginal draft of the Declaration,
and amendments were being
proposed, Jefferson was observ-
ed to grow very restless and
uneasy. Ben. Franklin on see
ing it, went over, and taking a
seat by his side related to him
the following anecdote:
"a halter in Philadelphia,
once determined, with view
to enlarge his business, to have
a sign painted for his store. He
accordingly drafted one that
read about as follows: "John
Thompson makes and sells hats
here" with the picture Of hat
at the end"
This he took to friend for
criticism. His friend suggest
ed, that it made no difference,
who neGde the hats so they were
good-and the word "moEes"
was struck out. He fOok it to
another friend who said that it
seemed to him the word "sclls"
was of no use as nobody would
presume that he would gice
them away and SO that word
was erased. Another critic
suggested that the word 'here"
was suplurfous because he
wouldn't sell them anywhere
else and that went by the board.
\ fourth said that the public
didn't care a fig, who made the
hats and so out went the name
E'John Thompson" and the up
shot of the matter was that
nothing was left but the picture
of the hat.
Jefferson's vanity was sooth-
ed by the story and he has worn
the hat ever since.
Now it is to be presumed that
the Father of the Declaration of
Independence would be anxious
to perpetuate that independ-
ence. He was a great believer
in the people-the theory of his
administration was to give a
loose rein and s1et 'em 2ip".
They will take care of the Il
sclves-the world is governed
too much.
He served eight years as
President and let us quote from
his eighth annual message:
"Availing myself of this last
occasion which qviH occur of ad-
dressing the two houses ofLeg-
islature at their meeting, I can
not omit the expression of my
sincere gratitude for the repeat
ed proofs of confidence mani
tested to me by themselves and
their predecessors. Since my
call to the administration and
the many indulgences expert
cnccd at theirhands. The same
graceful acknowledgements are
due to my fellow-citizens gen
orally whose support has been
my encouragement under all
emHarrassments."
1t will be seen from the above,
that his retirement was a fore
gone conclusion, and it was his
valedictory. He lived seven
teen years after his retirement
but never ought to swerve
from the Washington precc-
dent.
He was succeeded by Madi-
son, the founder and eNponnder
Of the constitution.
At the conclusion of his sec
0ud term he uses the following
language in his eighth annual
messages:
"The period of my retirement
from public service being at q
little distance, l shall find nt
| occasion more proper than tht
present for expressing to my
fellow-citizens my deep SENSE

style in which we warn away
