1t has been frequently asked if the
President pro TEN. of the Senate has
the casting vote in the event of a tie.
He has not. His name is called on
the roll with that of other members,
and he answers to it as Mr.. Bayard,
or Mr.. Anthony, or whatever it may
be. If there is q tie vote when the
Vice President of the United States is
not in the chair, the proposition is
lost: This frequently happened IN
der Andrew Johnson's administration
when condition of affairs similar to
the present existed as to the Presi-
dency of the Senate. The President
pro tenn. of the Senate Is not, ex-oM-
clio, Vice President Of the United
States, although he is the ''heir appa-
rent" to the Presidency; hence be
does not exercise the constitutional
prerogative of the Vice President in

King Theebaw Of Burmah, whose

prepared the toothsome gift with her
own far hands. Theebaw probably
had some private reason for regarding
this delicate attention with suspicion,
for he very handsomely transferred
the cakes to favorite mother in law,
the parent of the very queen from
whom he had received them. Anx-
ious to prove herself worthy of such
rare and graceful munifcence on the
part Of her puissant son-in-law, this
august lady partook freely of the prof
ferred pastry. Two hours after doing
so she was corpse, and her daughter

was made known to him. gave ord
ers that Her Majesty's head should be
removed from her shoulders without
an instant's delay. His commands
were obeyed and the King, having
thus summarily ridded himself of a
wife and q mamma-in- law between
breakfast and dinner, doubtless con-
graduated himself upon having got
through a highly satisfactory morn
ning's work. jealousy prompted
his queen, it is said, to attempt his
life. Probably no other reigning
monarch is better qualified, by habit
and temper, than King Theebaw to
effect the permanent extinction of
that perplexing passion in any lady

who may be a prey to the "green-eyed

We beg leave to remind them, how

incoherent and using q vast deal OF
grammar and shocking rhetoric over

crat does not oppose the building of
the road-quite the contrary"
This cOnvinces Us that this staunch
and powerful friend and ally ofevery
scheme hitherto projected for the adj
vancement of the material interests
of the people of Louisiana, in every
part of the State, has no idea Of beat
ing the chamade, and proposing
terms OF capitulation or; not to put
too fine a point on it; no idea Of
taking the back track. The people
of East Feliciana have no special
interest in rvilroad which touches
no where the borders of the parish.
By sentiments of a common ances-
try, by incidents of a common history
and by the obligations Of neighbor-
hood and friendship, they are closely
united to the Parishes carved out of
what was until 1912 1.-THE Republic
of West Florida !" and they are not
disposed to stand idle spectators with
folded arms, while an enterprise so
full of promise for their neighbors,
is in peril of strangling in it's cradle.

our ancestors waged for their indie

perity are matters of lively solicitude
among the people who trace their
heritage Of liberty and prosperity
back to the closing scenes of the sec
ond revolution OF which Baton Rouge
was the theatre. The people of the
City and Parish of East Baton Rouge !
have weighty, and direct interest
in the completion Of the ''Mid-Louis- |
iana," and although they have been
heretofore a trife haggard in con-
structing railroads: although physi-
cally and pecuniarily work Of such |
magnitude is beyond their means:
still we think we may venture to
pledge them to put their shoulders to !
the wheel before calling on Hercules |

very least, contribute as much to the |
construction of the "Mid-Louisianan
as the people Of New Orleans have
contributed to the numerous railroads
which centre in it; proportional to

actual facts and figures to base an
