travel the country over, in vain, to find
two more clever, active and honorable

hand, to help along every enterprise
that is for the benefit of Baton Rouge.

A CONJURED EGG.-Mr. A. Frank,
laid an egg on our editorial table, that
puzzled him aud every man in the office,
from the devil up. The egg looks like
any other egg, with the exception that
it is open at the point and bears on the

Frank was asked to rise and explain how
this came to pass, but be absolutely de-
clined to give any information

Mr.. NJ. j. Williams, the enterprislng
manufacturer and worker in iron, TIN,
ETC.. sent us the following, which is
taken from the Almanac issued by the
Buckeye Brass and Iron Works of Day
ton, Ohio:
"Baton Rouge has lately increased her
police force to two men and a dog. The
dog is depended on to stand guard over
the officers while they sleep"
Who the "lucky dog" is that is allowed
to 90 about unmuzzled, when our Off
GERS are exterminating his species, ac-
cording to the ordinance, Chief Hillen
cannot say. He knows that the fling is
not made at him, for the reason that
he'll be switched if he mounts guard to
accommodate Messrs. Bryan and Schoen-
brodt After the custom of the geaddr-
merle of France:
Dams la gendarmerie,
QUAINT un gendarme rit;
Tous les gendarmes rient,
Dams 10 gendarmere;
when Baton Rouge policeman sleeps
all the policemen sleep. They won't
organize into reliefs, worth cent, says
the Chief, who, strange to say, finds his
assistants awake as long as he keeps his
eyes open, He's not responsible when
his weather eye is closed, for what hap
pens, The dog, in this case, is myth.

ing our University, 80 that it will be
come the great training school of tn
youth of Louisiana.
