IF Mr.. Garfield should die and
Mr. Arthur be called upon to
assume the duties Of the
Presidency, the country could not
but recognize in him the re.
preventative Of a political system
that is in every way hostile to the
principle of constitutional govern
ment and to those fundamental
rights on which our govern
ment was founded--a system that,
seeking its ends by force and
iawlessness, and breeding private
corruption and public robbery and
the disregard Of character and
honor, is more to be feared than
assassinations, but if as we may
rather hope, this calamity be
averted by the Presidents

that has rested upon the country

Boston Sunday Budget tells the
following story : Many years ago
there dweIt in a certain Boston
street two families which, al.
though near neighhors, had no
heighborly relations or even &C.
quaintance. This grew out Of
the fact that while the head of one
house let US call him Jopes-was
of some somewhat slow condition..
lsh other, whom we will style
Pedigree, was upper crust, a
regular patrician," 1t rather
troubled the Jones family to have
the Pedigress treat them as though
they did not exist /; but they
managed to worry along, and in
due time the Jones boys grew to be
men and entered upon the serious
business Of life, one Of them to
such good purpose that he
acquired wealth and became the
president of bank. One day one
of the Pedigress received a check
on this same bank and stepped in
to have it cashed. The teller was
all politeness. said he had no
doubt it was all rght, but added
thai the rules Of the bank required
that the presenter of a check
should be identified. Mr.. Pedigree
fonua no fault and added tina, he
had no doubt Mr. Jones, the
president of the bank, could
furnish the needed Identification,
Just then the president happened
to pass from his private room, and
the teller handed him the check
and stated what was wanted.
The president took the check,
examined the signature and To-
dorsement carefully, and looking
at Mr.. Pedigree straight in the
face. handed it back to the teller
and said. Il do not know the
gentleman" turned on his heel and
went about his business.

something Of good. 1t made our
people more self.reliant than ever

cessity Of putting their shoulders
to the wleel and making earnest
efforts in the great race of life.
1t is really refreshing to see our
young men pushing forward IN the
busy world. in striking contrast
with their line of conduct before
the war. The new display of
energy has brought about changes
in our State never dreamed Of by
our people twenty-five years age.
We can readily see the effects
of the new turn of affairs.
Now having made such progress
in the past, what must be our
future if We but keep up with the
spirit of the times. The life Of

dispatch says that trouble is likely
to ensue between England and

claiming territorial rights on 600
miles Of the coast of Newfoundland

inhabitants of this coast having
refused to pay the taxes of the
government Of Newfoundland
were threatened by British officials.
and the commander Of French

The Development OF cane cnl-
ture in Vermilion Pariah is con-
tinually acquiring new proportions.
For years ego 100 hhds was con-
sidered a good annual yield. Last
year the crop Of sugar was about
600 hhds. New sugar houses are
in contemplation and others have
been built.
Mr.. David Fssnk has just had
the wood work Of his sugar house
right across the bayou opposite
Abbeville completed. everything
will be in working order for the
next rolling season, he has a pretty
good stand of cane, besides he
will grind for small farmers CT the
neighborhood. many Of whom
have in cultivation S and 6 acres
Of cane, which they have been in
the habi, of hauling a long ways
to remote sugar houses and at a
disadvantage. This has been q
drawback to those Of a lesser en-
terprislng genius, and it has de.
tered many from planting at all.
These are facts with which we are
acquainted ; our old friend David
is indeed making a move in the
good direction, he has an immense
quantity Of wood to boil with
we 'io not see anything to hinder
him from succeeding admirably
well.
