thus comments on q 'soft' species Of the
'genHs hOmo:'
We were told the reason why the young
ladies of the period are parting their hair
on the side because they do not wish to
look like the ''soft' Young man ofthe lah.
dl-dah persuasion, who separate ~ their
hair in the middle. Oh, my, just think
of it! "a " + t,'a6sS
As it takes all kind of people Il make a
world why not have the hang wsarers Of
the '1ah-di-dah persuasion y They look
so utterly utter you know. Just i'm
; agine one Of these ''mushifedv species
perambulating along the streets with
bangs close down to his eyes, Ills hair
particularly and ''pecoolar like parted
in the middle, and diminutive hat
perched on the back ofhis head to show
the ex9alsits; entopkof his lead alresl1ltg,

The Bossier Banner makes this terse
comment on subject the American peo-
pie know too much about already:
There is much speculation as to what
should be done with Guiteau. Hanging
Is too good for any assassin, and torture
IS against the spirit ofthc age. We would
be IN favor of giving lima flesh wound
and then turning him overto DR.. Bliss ct
al. ''' ~
1t is a somewhat mooted question as to
what disposal should be made of the as
sassin. According to the New Orleans
Times the Louisiana Superintendent of
Public Education, is sufficiently savage as
to want his flesh stuck full of resinous
splinters and then set fire to. He is the
head and chief of the State school depart
ment. The autopsy of the body Of the
late President disposes ofthe wonderful
bullet detector and also exhibits a deplo-
rable ignorance of his true condition by
Dr. Bliss, ora reprehensible and deter
mined desire to hood-wink the people
Yes, stick a pin in Guiteau and then turn
him over to Bliss. He will torture the
criminal with lingering death.
The Rural Times chronicles another be-
reavement for one of the lights of the
press. Hear him:
Our bettcr-half, having caught nm with
the cooking, we limited to our new hotel
man that we might pay him visit on a
certain day about dinner time. He very
complacently stroked his mustache and
Informed us that Che would have nothing
but q beef bone for dinner" What q
world for disappointments!
Our confrere is the first one Of the e,li.
torial fraternity whom we ever knew who
had a sufficient quantity Of the worlds
edibles to get behind in the cooking bust
ness. That '.:beef bone for dinner, comes
nearer the style.
The Webster Htbuae reads short and
concise lesson on the too prevalent disre-
gard for human life, in these words:
There have been, it seems to us, nm nm.
usually large number Of murders and
hom'cides all over the country this year.
Truman life has g)tten to be too cheap.
Men nowadays kill each other about too
small matters. Men must exercise more
forbearance, lay down the gun and knife.
ana remember that the taking away Of
human life is the worst of all crimes. Life
is too short and its trials too numerous,
at best, for men to hasten their fellow
man into eternity In this manner.
From one Of our Louisiana exchanges
we clip the following very pointed re-
marks Of Frederick Douglass: fG
Frederick Douglass eounsels the color
ed men Of Virginia to support the Read |
justers, taking the ground that, if Senator |
Malone and his party ssare honest and |
fair enough t0giye the colored citizens Of |
the State Of Virginia equal lights at the I
ballot-box, in the jury-box and the
knOwledge-bOx, for one am willing to
trust their Justice and fairness with the
money box Of that State" Mr.. Douglass
continues: 'In saying this, in nowise
wish to be understood as adopting any
theory or justification of reputation in
any form or fashion. Il simply say that
the men who will deal honestly with the
coiored citizens Of Virginia are more like
" to deal justly with other people than
those who do not"
This will eventually be tho case in ev.
cry Southern State whom the rights Of the
colored voters are guaranteed and pro.
tected at the ballot-box. Douglass in
ferences are certainly logical as well as
correct. No matter. what may be the re-
suits, there is . growing expression of pub
lie sentiment to have ! ssfnll vote, q fair
count and free ballot" at the elections.
The Lake Providence Herald moralizes
in this wise on the superstitious dread Of
Friday:
Friday has ALWAYS been an unlucky
day. Executions always take place on
that day, and many other things, Of not 10
grave nature. You can't even get an
old woman to set hen on Friday. for
fear that the eggs might rotor bring
forth aligatOrs-0r some misfortune be-
falling the hons. We never before be.
Geved in the theory, hut Of late We have
been half inclined to coincide with the
old women, and resolve never to attempt
on Friday. This in I meas
ure, accounts for Our poverty--bnt when
we contemplate the vast amount Of fun we
have enjoyed even on Fridays, We feel %
II we were fully compensated for oil the
misfortune resulting from our labors on
Fridays.
