WHAT Is ACHRISTIAN!

II you come to US and say you are a
praying man, we answer We are glad :;
but we would like to ask your wife and
children what your praying is doing
for you. If you say you daily read the
Bible, that is right; but let It's ask your
partner in business how much of it's
teaching you practice. If you say you
are 4 member of the church, we are
glad of that, if you are a worthy MEM
Der if not, We are sorry for the church.
But let us so on the street to see
whether the people you daily meet
think you ought to be Il church men,
Der. So it comes to pass that Il bun
die of Christian duties may be dry and
useless, or they may be evidences of a
siucera Christian. Watcher man be
Il Christian or not depends entirely
upon the principles which govern his
daily life, and the harvest tho world is
gathering from that life. \ Christian
then, is one who is virtuous not because
he is afraid Of Il scandal, bat because he
loves virtue. He is one who is honest,
not because honesty is right. He
is one who hates sin, not because
he is afraid OF its punishment, but
because sin is vile and destructive
He is one who loves God, not because
he expects favor, because God is Iowa
bic as Il child loves its mother, not be-
cause she gets its clothes and meals, but
because she is mother. He is one who
prays; for prayer inspires him to good
deeds ; it strengthens him to resist
temptation it opens to him avenues
of opportunity it nerves him to the
accomplishment of life's duties it
brings him into fellowship with all
that it is true and good. BY prayer we
do not n'can the bowling of the head
and saying over a few appropriate
words; but the Scarning desire, the
uplifting heart, the coutritc spirit; such
Il condition is Christian.

EEtNUR PUNISisMENTS.
LHaton Rouge Advocated

LHaton Rouge Advocated
One of the most serious problems
with which we have had to deal uu-
der the post bcllum regime concerns
methods of REFRESHING the lesser crimes
like larceny and disOrderiy conduct.
\ certain class has become so habitu-
hteu to an occasional incarceration in
jail, and the sense of shame has been
SO entirely obliierated by the degrad-
ing punishment they have incurred
! that the Jail has no terrors and cXcrts
20 deterrent influence.
The result is that this worthless class
is a burden on the community, swell
ing the criminal budget and always
perpetuating an evil example.
There is no sense in dealing with
this condition Of things in spirit of
sentimental tenderness. Whenever Il
man has become so degraded that he
has no moral sensibilitics, punishment
has to be directed TO the point where
he does have some feeling. When his
sense of pride and shame has become
to callous and imduratcu by repeated
cumiliatiOu that n moral IntlictlOn can
not reach him, you have to apply pun
ishmcnt to the bodily nerves which do
feel it. For the repression OF !arcenieS
nothing has ever been invented which
as the whipping post, and i'll all the re-
tiuenents oimodern civilization no eX-
pcdient has ever been found to sup
plant it.
But this remedy would require the
intervention of the legislature, and we
are inquiring now for Il corrective
which can be immediately applied.
ThiS corrective consists in sentences
ON the public works. Tho law has
made provision for this mode Of pun
ishment for minor oitenses, and where
ever tried it has worked well. II is
| ridiculous that the honest working pcO-
pie of Il parish should have to support
The criminal Glasses while they arc ser
wing Il term in Jail. Their labor while
unde: sentence can be employed i'll use
| ful works, and thus tho burden of cri-
minal expenses may be lightcned. 1t
costs little moro to feed and guard the
prisoners on public works than in Jail.
Attention to these considerations Will
eventually lift from the shoulders of
the people what mas grown TO be an
intO!craNlc burden.

boys and girls that are glad they are


alive.
The above from the OUACHITA
TELEGRAPH agrees with our Ideas eA-
actly, and we commend its perusal to
the Public School teachers throughout
this parish. 1t is certainly much bet
ter to give young children shorter les
sons and fewer books to study, and to
explain these lessons thoroughly so
that the children will understand them
perfectly and know the meaning of
every word which they read or COM
nit to memory. and also to explain TO
them the reason OF the different rules
which they find in their books than
to cram their little heads with long
lessons from a half dozen or more diff
ferent books in the same day, ana
which they only commit to memory
as a parrot does by dint of repetition
and which they do not understand IN
the least. Where child is found TO
be sufficiently advanced to be taught
in a half dozen or more different stu
dies or books, these studies should be
divided out and alternated SO that they
will not be required to use more than
three or four books at the most ON any
one day.
Fewer books, shorter lessons and
more teaching md explanation say
we. Aud in this connection now that
the winter season is approaching we
would suggest to the School Board that
they order all Public Schools to close
not later than halt past two O'Clock, p.
IT,, daily so as to give the children
time to reach home, get their dinners
and play little before nightfall.--

h )tel. The beef of Western Texas fat
t ened upon the musquit grasses of that
region is the finest beef in the world.
L have eaten beef fresh from Fulton
market, New York, also the same
picked after the most approved plan.
Yet can say, in truth, that the beef
of Western Texas is equal to any ever
saw. Persons from the estates" have
eaten of my beef and were greatly as
,onished, when told it was Texas beef
put up in warm weather.
First, prepare a barrel. prefer one
that had molasses in it. Whisky or
pork will answer after being we'll soak
ed and cleaned. It viii hold the meat
Of a beef weighing four hundred
pounds. TO pickle one of this size,
take one gallon of salt, one-fourth
| pound Of African or Cayenne pepper,
land one-fourth pound of salt Petre,
pulverze them well and mix thorough
lily. Cut your beef in slices about two
Inches thick, take a small portion OF
the preparation and sprinkle it over
each piece of meat, rub it in with the
hand SO as to bring the preparation in
contact with all parts of the meat,
then salt, and salt it well, using COM
mon salt. Cover the bottom of your
barrel with salt an inch deep, put in
layer Oh Aitstt piSpttA ca 40 ti1SStSo
which will be two or three inches
deep, then cover the meat with salt;
then add another layer of meat, then
salt, and so on until the barrel is filed
to within two or three inches; then
take clean boards and place on top of
the meat, and weight them down either
with bricks or stone. The juices Of the
meat and melted salt, by the time you
are through with the operation, will
have covered the meat. Let it remain
a few days and the meat will be ready
for use. After taking out for use, replace
! the boards and weights, and keep tho
meat under the brine until it is con.
suIneh. Everything must be in readi
ness before the beef is killed; as soon
as slaughtered, while the meat is n OF
commence to salt and put in barrel.
In cold weather you may, if you like,
let the small bones remain in the meat
but, in hot weather, it is important that
all bones be taken out.
The advantage that this process has
over others is very great. 1t is less
llaborious, and the meat picked thus
is sweeter, the juices being retained
with the meat. The old plan of chang
ing the brine takes from the meat
much of its flavor, 1 am indebted to
an old friend for this plan. Col. James
! II. Skiles, late Of Bowling Green, Ky,
now OF Murcilcna, Kame5 county,
! Texas.
Reader, try it, and my word for it,
! if you follow the direction, you will
succeed, and never again use the old
plan of pickling beef.

THE YOUTHFUL TRAIN ROBBERS

It will be remembered that the three
youthful train robbers on the Iron
Mountain road, stated they were from
San Augustine, Texas, and two of them
worked in tho Saxon office ofthat town.
We copy the following from the Saxon
of the 2lst:
OUR BOYs.-It is now generally I'M
dcrstood that the parties who robbed
the train on the Iron Mountain road,
(near Hope Station, Ark.,) were boys
from this place, viz: Philip Sullivan,
Archie Koran and James Price, all of
good and respectable families, and the
latter two were formerly attaches to
this office. The news fixing the crime
on these boys was Il shock to the COM
munity, such as was never before felt.
No one in the country would have ever
Suspicioneu them, or either of them, of
being connected with such II crime; but
still, the people are glad to see their
wild career ended with its commence.
They have always been known rs hon
ed and loved by hosts OF friends and
relatives. They said they were all
engaged to be married to nice young
ladies Of this county, and, being poor,
they We're anxious to make !. rise in
order to secure an early marriage, but
the girls will be pretty old maids ii
they prove true, as tho poor boys are il

the unfortunate boys arc almost Gricv-
ed to death, and it is enough to wiring
their very hearts from their bosoms

HOW TO PiCkEL BEEF.
[Claiborne Guardian. |


Our old friend, J. Ii. Dardeu, has
sent us the following with Il request to
publish for the public benefit. He has
frequently tried it and can vouch for
its value. 1t was originally contribut-
ed the Southern Cultivator by gentle
man at Forest, Miss, signing himself
A. III. b., in May, 1870:
occasionally see articles in news
papers and agricultural journals upon
the subject of how to pickle beef. All
of them are after the old plan of using
a strong prepared brine, letting the
meat remain few days then taking
1T out, reboling the brine, cleansing it,
and SO on. This plan is good, but tedi-
Gus and troublesome. 1 practiced it
many years with good success, until
learned another equally as certain,
more expeditions, and attended with
much less labor. In cold weather al
most any plan will answer, with the
use of plenty of salt. A plan, GER
tain and easy in all seasons and eli
mates, is the great desideratum. Twill

years with success, at all seasons of the

THE Alexandria, AND PINE BLUFF
RAILROAD.

A reporter of the New Orleans
Democrat interviewed Mr.. Hayes,
Vice-Pres;dent Of the New Orleans
Pacific railroad, a few days ago and
from the Democrats report we copy as
follows:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Hayes, can
you tell me at what time the people of
New Orleans may expect through
line to San Francisco?
Vice President Hayes-I think, sir,
by the latter part of the present year.
Already we have transfer-boat wait
ing for business on the Atchafalaya
river, and have contracted for another
to be brought here by the middle of
the coming month. We shall have
through connections to Shreveport, by
the way of Cheneyville, next month.
The iron bridge over the Atchatalaya
Is in process Of construction, and we
have started work on a bridge over the
Red river. We are also building
railroad on the west side of that river
to run to Monroe and Bastrop, and a
branch of the Iron Mountain along
CrOWley's Bridge, as it is called, to
Knobel, point about 16 miles north Of
the North Arkansas line, which is to
connect with our line from there to
Alexandria. The first 100 miles of that
road in Arkansas will be completed be-
fore the end of this year.
Reporter-Does this extension of the
Iron Mountain road run parallel with
the original line for any distance?
Vice.President Hayes-Yes,f for some
little distance. 1t afterwards DIVORCES
however, toward the southeast while
the original road runs off in an almos;
opposite direction.
Reporter-What kind off. country
does this extension or branch OF the
Iron Mountain pass through?
Vice President Hayes-I have never
Travelled over the proposed route in
Arkansas, but from personal Observa-
tiOns made some years ago, can state
that the road from Bastrop to Monroe
passes through one of the most fertile
sections of country to be found in Louisi-
ana.
The Alexandria Express, referring to
the bridge over Red river, has this bit
of cheering news:
Capt. Lee, the contractor for the
Railroad Bridge, has about 100 men at
work getting out stone and employed
in dressing it. The work in progress
at the quarries will interest those who
have never witnessed the process.

in giving his instructions to the Jury
for the week alluded to Il custom which
has prevailed since the war, of jurors
accepting Il treat from the party whom
they had acquitted ola criminal charge
The Judge very properly condemned
this custom and gave strong reasons
why no juror should accept n treat
from Il man whom ha had just tried

might have been given by the judge
which is that in his experience he had
no knowledge of a jury having been

The COnkling Snake and the Curtis
Snake.
Net0 Orleans Times.

The feud between COnkling and Har-
per's Weekly continues without abate-
ment. Occasionally a circumstance of
some sort shoots COnkling up out of his
Obscurity and he gasps and scOwls,
while poor little "goody-goody" Curtis
slowly and painfully saws Conkling
lengthwise with long saw-a column
or so long-and the next week slowly
and painfully saws Conkling crosswise
with the same mOnotonous and
persevering saw. Or to change the
smile, it is repetition OF
the painful episode of the short snake
and the long snake swallowing each
other. Curtis is the long snake and he
has worked a considerable portion OF
Conkling's neither extremity out of sight.
Conkling on the other hand is the short
snake, and though he has swallowed
with spasmodic energy, he has not oblit-
Grated a very considerable portion of
Curtis. The snake which Conkling
would swallow is longer than
Conkling, consequently cOnsidera-
BILE portion of Curtis is bound
to stick out and squirm around;
whereas, the snake which Curtis would
swallow is shorter than Curtis and had
almost disappeared from the scene when
the assassin came to the rescue. Guiteau
ameliorated the condition of COnkllng
slightly but did not release him entirely
from his unpleasant predicament. The
Curtis jaws have not relaxed materially
although the Conkllng snake seems
thrilled with a new life. Thus the stu
alton becomes more interesting than
ever before and will be productive of
further Observation-Disclosures the public
should forget both contestants in the tide
of events of so much greater dignity and
importance.

IOuis A Wilt.

The death of Governor Wilt, of Lou
isiana, which has already been an
nounced, removes one of the foremost
of the young men of the South. Al
though he was only thirty EIGHT years of
age, he filled the highest and most re-
sponsible positions within the gift of the
people of his city and State. He was
born in New Orleans in 1913, and was
educated in the public schools of that
city. At the age of fifteen he went into
a counting-room, and on the failure of
his employers, he secured a situation
in the office of the clerk of one of the
local courts. He went into the war a
private soldier and came out a Captain.
In 1868 he was elected to the Legislature,
and in 1869 was the Democratic candi-
date for Mayor of New Orleans. 1t was
claimed that he received a majority of
the votes cast at the election, but he was
not permitted to enter upon the duties of
the office. Two years afterwards he
was elected Mayor and took his seat. At
the expiration of his term he was again
elected to the Legislature and was elect
ed Speaker of the House by the Demo
Gratis, but the organization was broken
up by the interference of the military,
and under the provisions of the Wheeler
compromise the Office of Speaker was
given to another. He was elected Lieu
tenant Governor of Louisiana in 1876
and Governor in 1879.
