"See here,' said a member of the
Senate to the Herald man, sslook at
this curiosity. I've Just happened
to strike it by accident, and now
would be good time use it. It's
the precise language of Abraham
Lincoln, Just before the war. when
giving his views on the negro ques-
ton, in his great discussion with
Douglas, in 1853" These are the
words:
II will say. therefore, that / am
not and never have been in favor OF
bringing about in any way the social
and political equality of the white
and black races; that I am not nor
never have been in favor of making
voters and jurors Of negroes, nor Of
qualifying them to hold Office, nor to
intermarry with white people. And
1 will say, in addition to this, that
there is a physical difference between
the white and black races. which I
believe will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms Of
social and political equality; and in
asmuch as they cannot 30 live. while
they do remain together. there must
be the position of superior and infe-
rior, and /, as much as any other
man, am in favor of having the supe-
rior assigned to the white race"
The Senator added: at is per-
fectly well known that Lincoln and
Wade both favored the scheme OF
colonization in 1860. the latter max
ing strong speech in its favor"

Mr.. Mcknight arrived last Satur-
day with the lumber for building the
court house, $4,000 feet, and it is
now stacked on the ground SO it can
season before being worked up.
Referring to the above fact brings
to mind the petition that was pre-
sented to the police jury this week,
requesting them to have the build
ing stopped. The signers of this Pc
tition either intended to perpetfate a
little joke, or else they have shown a
want of mature reflection. If they
really wanted to stop the building of
the court house, why did they not
get up their petition six months or a
year agop Why wait until the con-
tract for building has been let out
and the lumber is on the ground !?
Do they not know that it will cost
the parish as much now to stop as
to go aheada The police jury. very
properly, we think, have ignored the
petitioners, who have acted in this
matter as if the abridgement ORA
contract was child's play. The petit
TONERS talk about railroad through
the center of the parish as if it was
now building, when the truth is that
it will hardly be built within six or
eight years, if even then. When it
has been built will be time enough
to talk about putting the court house
in the hills.

what are Pistols Good For :

Pistols are used for two purposes
that we know of and for no other, viz /:
First, to make an Internal noise on
the Fourth of July, and SECOND, to
commit murder With all the year
around. We know of absolutely
nothing else that they good for. They
are not used in war any more, for
they are no use in battle. Infantry
do not carry them and eavelry never
get near enough to the enemy to
reach them with a pistol They are
never used in hunting. for they never
shoot straight enough nor carry far
enough to bring down game. Why,
then, should their existence be toler-
ated or their manufacture and sale
permitted detroit Free Press.

The Isesnsistsncy ef Assssticisn.

How can il be true that man is 90
far outside Of that unity that the very
notion of seeing anything like him
self in il is the greatest Of all philo-
sophical heresiesi Does not the
very possibility Of science consist in
the possibility Of reducing all natural
phenomena TO purely mental conoep-
tions, which must be related to the
intellect of man when they are work
cd out and comprehended by iti And
il according to the latest theories
man is himself q product Of evolution
and is therefore in every atom Of his
body and every function Of his mind
a part and child of nature, is it not
in the highest degree illogical so to
separate him from it as to condemn
him for seeing in it some image Of
himself 7? If he is the product and its
child, ,isit not certain he is right when
he sees and feels the indissoluble
bonds of unity which unite him
to the great system Of things in
which he lives. This fundamental in
consistency in the Agnostic philoso-
ply becomes the more remark
able when we find that the very
men who tell us we are not one with
anything above us, are the same who
insist that we are the same with
everything beneath us. Whatever
there is in us or about lis that is pure
ly animal we may see everywhere;
but whatever there is in us purely
intellectual and moral,w delude our
selves if we think we see it anywhere.
There are abundant homolOgies be-
tween our bodies and the bodies of
the beasts, but there are no homo
logies between our minds and any
mind which lives or manifests itself
in nature. Our lvers and our lungs,
our vertebr@ and our nervous system
are identical in origin and in function
with those of the living creatures
around us, but there is nothing in
nature or above it which corresponds
to our forethought, or design or pur-
pose-to our love of good or our I'D
miration of the beautiful-to our in
dignation with the wicked, or to our
pity for the suffering and the fallen.
+ venture to think that no system OF
philosophy that has ever been taught
on eartn lies under such a weight OF
antecedent improbability; and this
improbability increases in direct pro
portion to the success of science in
tracing the unity of nature, and in
showing. step by step, how its laws
and their results can be brought
more and more into direct relation
with the mind and intellect OF man.

HOW A CYCLONE LOOKS.

The recent terrible cyclone IN Ma
coupin county. Illinois, is thus de-
scribed by Engineer Cutter, Of the
Chicago and Alton express train which
was running at full speed, and met
the tempest near Carlinsville. Mr..
Cutter saw out on the prairie what he
supposed to be a straw or hay stack
on fire. As he approached it he saw
that it moved rapidly toward the track,
and then realized that it was cyclone
of the most appalling character It
was dark, funnel-shaped cloud,
reaching from the ground high in the
air whereit disappeared in the clouds.
1t was black and dangerous looking,
and whirled with terrible velocity.
It's voice, heard even in the distance
above the roar and rumble of the
train, was frightful in the extreme.
The cyclone seemed to travel at the
rate Of twenty miles an hour, and was
SO fast approaching that the moving
train must in o moment inevitably
strike it. Mr.. Cutter shut off his Ell
CINE and applied his air brake just in
time, for despite the precaution, the
train touched the cyclones outer edge.
Mr.. Cutter describes the sight as the
most horrible he ever saw. The air
was lurid and dark, and hot rs If
from an oven. Everything in thepath
way of the storm was demolished and
crushed and annihilated Barns,
fences, sheds, telegraph poles and
everything at all fragile was swept up.
Mr.. Cutter and his fireman crouched
down in the tender, and for moment
feared that the whole train would be
overturned. The cars were only held
on the track by their safety chains.
The passengers who at first won
dered at the stop, with blanched cheeks
and terrified countenances viewed the
terrible monster of the air at his
work.

THE TRUE FAITH.

I say to thee, do thou repeat
To the first man that thou shalt meet
In lane, highway, or open street,-
That he and we, and all men, move
Under canopy Of love
Az broad a. the blue sky above;
That doubt and trouble, fear and pain,
And anguish these are shadows vain,
That death itself shall not remain;
That weary deserts we may tread,
Dreary perplexities may thread,
Through dark ways underground be led
Yet we, on divers shores now cast,
Shall meet, when this dark storm is past
Safe in our Fathers home at last.
And. ere thou leave him, say thou this,
Yet one thing more; they only miss
The speedy winning Of that Bliss
Who will not count it true, that love,
Blessing, not cursing, rules above;
And that in this we live and move.
And one thing farther let him know,
That, to believe these things are 30,
This firm faith never to forego
In spite of all that seems at strife
With blessing all with cursing rife,
That this is blessing, this is life.

LocUsrs IN 1S81.-There are two
breeds Of periodical locusts, one ap-
pearing once in II years and the 9TH
er once in 13 years. The earliest ap-
pearance Of the II year-locusts in this
country, 81 far as the records go, was
in 1884, at Plymouth. NJ lss., and they
have not failed to appear once in II
years ever since. Both breeds will
appear this year, but not in the same
localities. Professor Riley, the en-
tomologist, says that the l7-year To-
Gusts will abound next June in Mar
quette and Green Like counties, Wis.
in the neighborhood Of Wheeling,
West Va, and probably in Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Columbia.
They may also appear, he says, IN the
west part Of North Carolina, in the
northeastern part Of Ohio, Lancaster
county, Penn, and Westchester coun-
ty, N. Y. The Professor says that the
I3-year brood will probably be seen
in Southern Illinois, in all Of Missou-
ri except the northwest corner, IN

tory, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missis-
appi, Alabama, Georgia North Car

ADVERTISING sHRRIFTv SALES.

In its way, one Of the most impor.
tant measures that has been before
the Legislature during the present ses-
sion Is the bill making It obligatory
ON the part Of sherifis to advertise in
the newspaper having the largest cir.
culation IN the county, all sales Of
property that may be made by them
by order OF the courts. The frivo-
lous plea appears tob urged by some
of the members-most Of whom are
lawyers-that they must refuse o.
sent to the proposed measure because
of increased costs which would &C.
crue to clients, forgetful Of the fact
that the enhanced receipts that would
almost invariably result from the sale
of properly advertised property would
many times counterbalance any tri-
fling cost of advertising. It has long
been patent to observing people that
publication of sales by sherifs, ad-
ministrators and the like, were often
purposely made in obscure papers,
having small circulation, apparently
for the sole purpose Of preventing the
publicity which the interest of at
least one of the parties to the trans
action imperatively requires.
That property has frequently been
sacrificed in consequence Of such want
of publicity as to description of article
for sale, place and time of sale, ETC.,
cannot be denied, and it is equally
patent that public policy and justice
to individual interests demand that
nothing be omitted ON the part of Of
ficials or attorneys to insure the great.
est possible returns from every de-
scription of forced sales. 1t is proper
and right that defendants in all such
cases be allowed the privilege Of Sc
lecting the medium through which
such sales shall be advertised, when
there is anything like equality in the
circulation Of county papers; but ad-
vertisement should be made peremp-
tory in some newspaper of general
circulation, and the one having the
greatest number of readers should
have the preference. To make it op-
tional. whether general publicity shall
be given to sheriffs' sales by adver-
tising them in journal having gen.
eral circulation, or to post the notices
on court house doors, or stumps, or
trees at crossroads, is simply to de.
feat the true purpose of advertise
ment which is to give general infor'
nation with respect to the property
to be offered, the time and place oi
sale, and terms and conditions to bt
complied with by the purchasers =
