he following, though pretty hard
on some Of our confreres, is good
enough to be kept standing. It is
from the pen of the editor Of that
staupch Democratic papers &e Thibo-
daux Sentinel, andin aspiritof friend
illness we invite all hands to read it,
the oae to smile at the grim lhumor OF
the old veteran and the other to FAC
knowledge the corn :" ~
"The country press, that broke out
so badly some time ago, in abuse OF
the new Constitution, seem to have
called halt, in order to catch their
breath. The latest effusion that has
come to our table is found in the Pla-
quemine Observer, published below
New Orleans. That paper has made
the discovery that promises were
made to have the taxes collected by
the last of December, and away here
in January there are thousands OF
dollars uncollected, consequently the
Constitution must be put down. Did
| it never occur to the editor of that pa
per that the tax collector, and not the
constitution, should collect the taxes'
The law to enable the tax collector to
collect the taxes is ample, and 1T he
puts the law in force, taxes will be
| paid. And SO these grumblers con-
tinue; if it rains too much the constl-
tuition must be changed, if the Mis-
sissippi gets too high the constitution
must be changed, and so on from June
to January these foolish objections
ard heard. The fact is we have con-
| stitution that is a good one, and any
faults that may exist within that in
strument can easily be remedied. If
newspapers would use as much ener-
gy in assisting the people to rebuild
the waste places; to carry out the re-
duirements of the constitution and to
bring out it's good points, as some of
them do in abusing that instrument,
and rendering it distasteful to those
who do not comprehend it, they would
do the State some service, and in
crease it's prosperity instead Of injur-
ing its progressand tranquility
The great trouble is, we fail to
THINK. One moments thought will
often save us the modification otfool-
ish expressions. No one would at
tempts to deny but that there are
Objectionable features in the constitu-
| ton. Still there is way to correct
these evils without falling into the
greater error of wholesale denuncia-
ton, standpoint that seldom en-
braces reason or argument.
! Now let all of our State papers open
their batteries on these Objectionable
features, and aided by localresidents.

St. Bernard Eagle: The Baton
Rouge CAPIToLIAN has entered upon
its third volume, and we should like
to say something appropriate to the
secession, if it were not that we have
already exhausted our vocabulary of
praise in its favor. Every issue of
this popular journal bears an intro
ductrory impress of congratulation
that speaks more on its behalf than
we have power to express, and we can
only hope that its thirticth volume
will meet with as much success as
tie one now open before us.

A Western paper announced as fol-
lows: "Mr. Mcguire will wash him
self before he assumes the Office of
sheriff. This made Mcguire mad,
and he demanded a retraction, which
sle paper made thus: "Mr. Mcguire
requested US to deny our statement
that he will wash himself before he
assumes the office of sheriff." Oddly
enough this only enraged Mcguire the
more. Some people are 80 hard to
please.

\ member of the Canadian Parlia-
nent, who had his coat stolen from
him in Ottawa, borrowed one of a
friend. and as it was much too small,
was arrested by the Police while on
his way home on suspicion of theft
and taken to the Police station. While
he was there the thief who had stolen
his coat was brought in. Exp2ana-
tons were made, the member was
released, and the thief was the next
DAY sentenced to prison for one year.

The American Girl Abroad.

2 Here Is a pen-and-i ink sketch of an
American girl. which is interesting as
showing how a Yankee girl appears to
French eyes: ''Stylish to the backbone,
Independent as independent can be
very pure. Is devoted to pleasure
dress, spending money, shows her
moral nature nude, just as it is, SO as
to deceive nobody. Flirts all winter
with this or that one. and dismisses
him in the spring, when she instantly
catches another. Goes out alone.
Travels alone. When the fancy strikes
her she travels with a gentleman friend
or walks anywhere with him; puts
boundless confidence in him; coniugal
intimacy seems to exist between them.
She let's him tell what he feels-talk of
love from morning to night; but she
never gives him permission to kiss as
much as her hand. He may say any
thing-he shall do nothing. She is
restless; she gives heart and soul to
amusement before she marries. After
marriage she is a mother annually; is
alone all day; hears all night nothing
except discussions about patent machine.
cry, unexplosive petroleum. and chemi,
cal~manures. She then will let her
daughters enjoy the liberty she used
without grave abuse. As nothing seri-
ous happened to her, why should Fanny,
Mary, Jenny, be less strong and adroit
than their mother? She originates
French fashions. Partisan women de-
Test her. Provincial women despise |
her. Men Of all countries adore her, |
but will not marry her unless she has
immense fortune. Her hair is YER
paler than golden hair; her
black eyes are bold and frank; she has
patent shape which tits forbidden to
counterfeit; spreads herself in a car
as if she were in a hammock-the
and thoughtless posture of her
for luxurious ease, when she
walks she moves briskly, and throws
very glance right and left; gives
many of her thoughts to herself, and
of them to anybody else. She is a

SCANDAL MONGERS.


Do you hear the scandal mongers
Passing by,
Breathing poison in whisper,
In sigh
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they go;
Never noisy-gliding smoothly like a
snake.
Slipping here and sliding there
Through the meadow fresh and fair.
Leaving subtle slime and poison in their
wake.
Saw you not the scandal-monger
AS she sat.
beaming brightly meath the roses
On her hat ?
In her dainty gloves anil dress.
Angel-like and nothing else,
Seemed she-casting smiles and pleas
ant words about;
Once she shrugged and shook her
head,
Naised her eyes and nothing said,
what you spoke of friends, and wet i,
left q doubt.
DO you watch the scandal-mongcr
At ball,
Through the music, rhyming beauty.
Light and all?
Moving here, and moving there,
With whisper light as air
Casting shadows on q sister woma,,s
fame
Just whispered word or glance
And n doubt forever hangs upon n
name.
You will find the acandal.mongers
Every where;
Sometimes men, often women
Young and fair,
Yet their tongues dip roulest slime.
And they spend their leisure time
Casting mud on those who climb nv
work and worth,
Shun them, shun them AZ Won oo
They are but the cursed serpents Of the
earth.
