as the following extract shows :
"My experience as a journalist ;"
he explains in leading article,

show at all. For several years we
have ground out copy by the yard
for the city press. and deal of 1t
we have had the pleasure of see-
ing base slave, styled the city
editor, dump into the waste bas-
ket. Nay, more than that; we
have seen our most able efforts
boiled down and cut until there
would not be an original idea left;
we have been assigned to work all
night on special and then be
quietly informed In the morning
that we had been ANONYMOUSLY
scooped by the hell-hounds of the

PUssY.-A bashful young peas
ant was greatly captivated by the
charms of a pretty girl in his own
station in life; he was exceedingly
anxious to ask her to marry him,
aud had often resolved to do so,
but so far his courage had always
failed him when the opportunity
arrived. However, one night he
resolved TO her his fate in spite
OF his modesty, so he started off to
spend the evening with her.
When he arrived, to his joy her
parents were from home, and she
was seated knitting at the kitchen
fire, with big gray cat lying at
her feet. jamie sat down beside
her, but not a word could he say,
till at the end of half an hour. he
inwardly resolved to Finish this
business" so acting on "happy
thought" he placed the cat upon
his knee and stammered forth
PUSSY, ask Lizzy will she marry
me?" Lizzy blushed and smiled.
but managed to say, PUSSY, tell
jamie I'll take him."

we are not far short Of the mark wher
we assert that Mr.. Acklen, owing tt
the many troubles that have surroun'
ded his career in Congress, is consid'
cred throughout the State as emf.
nently fit to stay at home.
We know Gen. Bilin to be q chiyal.
rous and incorruptible Louisianian,
one whose ability and fearless devo.
ton to right and to his country will
do credit to his constituents and the
State. Gen. Hancock and the Demo.
cratic party will need such gentlemen
in Congress as Gen. Blu, and We
sincerely hope that the gallant men
who have in the dark period Of our
woes carried the standards of Democ-
racy to victory, will not desert at
this trying hour their brethren every
where, who appeal to them not to
endanger the election of q Democratic
majority in Congress through their
local dissensions.
The State and the Nation look to
the people Of the third district with
the hope that they will unite and
elect Gen. Blu. We have faith in
their patriotism, and feel assured that
the Democracy there will not fail in
ACCOMPLISHING their whole duty.

VIZ BEG PARDON of the readers Of
the CAp1roLlAN for filling so much Of
its columns with Lanier as the sub
ject matter. We found it incumbent

job, we intend to see it thoroughly
accomplished, no matter how dis
