k On SATURDAY. ninh4

~ on Saturday night the moon
gave us the rare treat of a total In.
mar eclipse. 1t was beautiful SIGHT
NO celestial phenomena is easier to
understand. The earth passes be-
tween thes SUI and moon and obscures
his light. 1t can only occur at the
time of full moon, and there would
oe a total eclipse Of the moon every
month If the suns path and the
moons path were on the same plane
or level. But the moons orbit is
inclined to she ecliptic about five
degrees, therefore the moon must
be at her node or crossing point at
the time of full moon in order to be
totally eclipsed. She is, however.
much oftener far enough from her
node to be above or below the earth's
shadow when there is ne eclipse. or
she may be near enough to her node
to pass through a portion of the
earth's shadow when she is par.
TALLY eclipsed.' But on the
morning of the 10Th the condi.
tons were favorable for a grand
exhibition of the Gardening power of
the earth's shadow. The moon was
full, she was at her node, SHE was in
perigree, or at her nearest point to
the earth, and she passed centrally
through the earth's shadow. On
the 21st the moon is in conjunction
with Mars and Saturn. On the 22nd
the heavens will present a superb
picture, made up of the waning
moon, the bright planets Venus
and Jupiter. Between O'Clock on
the morning of the 21st and 2 o'clock
in the afternoon of the 22nd the
moon is in conjunctin with five plan.
cts, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and We.

One Of tire "insiders" thus refers
to the corruptness of Secretary of
State Blaine and the probable i'm
parchment of Garfield:
tin reference to the completely of
Blaine with the star route swindle,
the Credit Mobilier affair, and others
of even more consequence, l will
say the report is a true one, the re-
suit of which will seriously affect
Mr.. Blaine's position in the Cabinet.
I know this fact of my personal
knowledge, that the night I left
Washington the Attorney General
had in his possession documentary
proofs, as we'll as warrants of arrest,
against people who are intimately
connected with Blaine, and that the
Attorney General went TO the White
House presumably to lay the matter
before the President and Secretary
of State, and the result was that the
evidence was never used and the
criminal never arrested. The inves-
LEGATIONS into Mr.. Blaine's actions
will follow this Albany fight.
About Mr.. Conkling's possessing
papers which will implicate Blaine
in some surreptitious dealings with
the Government will say nothing.
I know that such things do exist,
and they are of the most convincing
character. The evidence which they
offer is conclusive, and if once used
Blaine's entire future will be destroy
ed. The end has not come yet, and
it is we'll it has not. There is no
doubt whatever that this battle will
result in the deposing of Blaine, and
the impeachment of Garfield is not
at all improbable"

That ably edited paper, the Match
itoches Vindicator, thus plainly and
forcibly argues in favor of ''ready
printed Sheets" for interior papers
Ready Prints have edidently
stirred the Utmost soul of our very
much esteemed contemporaries.
Nay, our Press Convention is to
take the matter in hand and ere
commend their discontinuance."
The Powers of a Press Convention
which could do this should be ex-
tended so as to cover the size of
newspapers published, the type
used, in fact every publishers pri-
vate business. Of course the Gre
commentator will be "extended"
and-unheeded.
But to the "ready prints" They
are an innovation upon the time
honored custom of Southern print
ing of1ices-hence these tears. AS
for the complaint of closing North
ern advertisers" we have nothing
to say beyond the fact that if any
paper in Louisiana ever made COM
position on those advertisers they
have done more than we. One sim
gular fact-a fact upon which all
this discussion hinges-has been
overlooked by our much esteemed
and much solicitous confreres, and
that is hoao the readers like the ready
prints. No weekly paper in this
State, inside or outside Of a city,
Can compare in its news epitome to
that of the Vindicator; the stories,
essays aud poetry, the farm and
household, in fact, all the depart
ments i'll the "ready print are as
good in selections as our best city
weeklies, and we know of many
papers not a thousand miles from
Louisiana, that would be better in
brains and make up, if entirely
printed in a "patent" establishment.
The reader likes the "ready print"
and we are Publishing a paper for
readers!

Some of the men who make the
biggest fuss about it never pay their
own taxes as long as they can avoid
it. It should seem that the stupen-
dous wisdom and craftsmanship
which get themselves elected into
State Conventions and Legislatures,
should be competent to the task of
framing laws that would collect the
taxes. But we know that they are
NOT Shreveport STANDARD.

A TrihiDg Thing.

One has said that at is hard telling
what trfe means" Everything in na-
ture seems to be closely connected with
every thing else. An undue preponderaDce
of one force sets in motion all other forces
The eddying of few particles of air may
give rise to a tornado. A few drops Of oil
slowly le4king from cask may seem of
little account; but in due time the vessel
will be empty A small pin, bolt or screw
out of place may top powerful engine.
A particle of dust may stop or render
thermometer useless IS time keeper The
prick of a pin in balloon may destroy it.
Another writer has put the thought in
still stronger light: There is no such
thing, as a tr fe." Any person who
has lived many yeas, and been en-
gagged in the transaction of daily life
Will certainly appre late this gu tation. A
useless expense of few cents daily to Il
laboring man Il amount to small sum
in a series If years, while judicious ex-
penditure IN the same way will be exhib-
tied 10 few years in the general appear
ance of thrift all around such man. To
know how to do things in the best possible
manner involves a Knowledge of thou
8 nd little things to insure success.-Ref
