The Teach ers Picnic.

Last night was glorious one for the teach
ers picnic at the park, and the occasion was
taken advantage of by large number of our
citizens. The fear OF finding the grounds
damp from the rain of the previous night, no
doubt, kept some away, but the attendance of
ladies, including teachers, was large.
Under the magic torch of Vice President
Harry Fowler, the d ,ncing hall had been made
charming and the dancing was we'll patronized.
Harry acted as floor manager.
There was plentiful supply of ice cream,
lemonade and cake.
1t was late hour when the company con-
Guided to break up and retiIe to their homes.
The joyous company, the delicious night, il
Eliminated by full moon that hung in the sky
like golden shield, made it too attractive to
give up without regret.
Col. Belknap and Mr.. Fowler deserve the
thanks of all who attended, and especially the
teachers for this pleasant affair.
Our stock of ladies' underwear, corsets
and gloves is again replenished, in which we
are offering great bargains.

END OF THE CONGRESSIONAL DEAD
LOCK.

Yesterday the democratic resistance to seat
ing Mackey was broken down by the republi-
cans and the contest ended by Mackey being
sworn in.
AS usual, the democrats were in the wrong
and will 60 to the country as pack of revo-
lutionists who are always keen to catch on to
some excuse to throttle the government. Az
ter the committee on elections had gone
through the contested case, and had reported,
it was but the meerest folly for a minority to
attempt to prevent the majority from deciding
the question. During the final struggle,
Mills, OF Texas, appeared in the main aisle,
pitching and kicking and rearing like wild
steer, charging the republican party with de-
trauding the people in 1876, by which sort of
logic we are to infer that for that reason the
democrats are entitled to defraud somebody in
1882. The kilograms 60 on to relate that:
Again cries for order went up from the re-
publican side, which mingled with shouts of
see how they Squirm," and derisive LAUGHTER.
rendered the scene noisy and confusing
one.
Mills continued with his remarks until the
speaker stated that he would request the SER
geant-at-armS to preserve order.
YES" replied Mills, ''the speaker can pre-
serve order and suppress the record, but he
can never blot from the history of this coun-
Try that treason against the government"
Mills talks about treason as glibly as if he
was used to it.
The resolution seating Mackey has passed
by vote of $50 to 3. The revolutionists and
obstructionists sat sullenly in their seats and
did not vote.
We are glad to know that Wash Zones stood
up and spoke in a manly way in favor seating
Mackey. Texas has at least one man in the
house who is not afraid to buck against the
old democratic party.
The Sheep Interest the Tariff Commission
1t is now quite certain that Hon. A. M.
Garland, of Springfield, ILL.,, president of the
wool growers association of the United States.
will be appointed one of the tariff commission.
Mr.. Garland is eminently fitted for the posi-
ton, and his appointment will not only give
great satisfaction to this important interest,
but evidences that the president is awake to
the interests in danger, and has placed friend
and champion of the wool growers on the
commission.

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1882-05-20

When the tornado swept over the
neighborhood of Cuthbert, Ga, few
days ago, struck the house of Judge
Knowles, a hen was on her nest in a
barrel in the back yard. Persons say
that the barrel was picked up, whirled
round and round, blown over the
house, and dropped right side up in
the front yard. After the storm
Judge Knowles went out to move the
barrel. To his surprise the hen was
still at her post, and it was evident
that some of the eggs had Matched
in mid air.

"TomatO-Nosed - yane.
From the New York Mercury.
~ Eaal n..sn..-l ". ..n...

From the New YORK Mercury.
Good gracious! You newspaper
men are worse than the Old Scratch :"
and the fat old woman smoothed out
the folds of her weIl-worn alpaca
dress, rocked violently in her dilapi-
dated red rocking-chair, and gIared
ficrcely at the Mercury reporter. "Who
told you about my daughter, and how
did YOU come to hunt US up? Indeed
YOU shan't see her, or hear one word
about her from me-that you shan't D..
You'll spread it all around, and then
we'll have all the old showmen just
runnin' and runnin' to the house, and
they can't be kept away with boiling
water, either. Just like when we lived
in Newark, some old maid, Just as bad
as newspaper. went blabblin' around
about my Jane, and the old man had
to club them museum and side-show
fcllers away from the house. They all
wanted my 'tomato-nosed Jane as
they called her. 1 don't want that
trouble to 90 through with again, for
my only daughter shall never be ex-
hibited along with lot of fat women,
striped snakes, tattooed men and bald
headed monkeys"
After the visiting journalist had
convinced the old lady that under no
circumstances would he make public
where she lived, and soothed her with
about six "sticksful' of Ciceronian
eloquence, she consented that her re-
markable daughter should be seen,
and Jane was called. This young lady
is now in her twentieth year. She is
natural in all respects except her pecu-
liar-shaped nose. This feature of her
face is the exact counterpart Of large
Jersey tomato, and, singular to say, is
of bright red color. In other re-
spects she is quite handsome, possess
ing beautiful dark hair and eyes and
comeIy, well-developed figure. Her
red, terribly miss-shaped nose, stand
ing out prominently among its pretty
surrounding features, and above an
especially lovely mouth, gives the
young girl most unique appearance.
And she certainly y would be a fortune
to the average American Snowman.
Once seen, she will never be forgotten.
This awful aftiiction has made the
young lady exceedingly sensitive, and
she very seldom goes out of doors.
The neighbors, however, have had oc-
casonal gIimpscs of her, and she is
now the talk of the ward in PhilAdel-
phia in which she resides.
"Ycs," the old lady replied, in an
swer to natural inquiries: my Jane
was born in September, and we then
lived on a tomato farm in Jersey. We
had little canning establishment on
our place, and all that season we did
nothing but can and can tomatoes.

poor and my old man and me did the
most of the work. He'd do the seal
ing of the cans, and I'd do the pre-.
pairing of the tomatoes. Then, towards !
the latter part of the summer, big
basketful of tomatoes fell down on
me off a shelf where we used to stack !
them, and nearly scared me to death.

BUOHANAN's RoMANoE.-President
Jas. Buchanan's bachelorhood was the
result of foolish misunderstood.
While a successful young lawyer in
Lancaster he was engaged to beau
fifnl but somewhat domineering girl.
Some legal business sent him into
neighboring county, where he remained
for several days. When he returned
one evening he found bis office filled
with importunate clients, and tired and
hungry as he was he attended to his
businesses Then hurrying to the home
of the angel of his dreams he found it
closed and dark. Next morning he
repeated the visit, and although he saw
Miss ~ at the window, he was told by
the servant that she was not at home.
He walked away and never approached
the house again. Neither could he sub
due pride enough to make or seek an
explanation. The young lady shortly
afterward died, and MIR. Buchanan
never attempted to win another woman.

Thc governor. On Lotteries.

From the n. o. City Item.
Governor McEnery, in his message
to the Legislature does not spare the
crudities and oddities of the ,constitu-
tion of 1879. lie not only recommends
the amendment of numerous articles
of that instrument, but is sweeping in
his condemnation of others, and then,
as if in despair of making anything
satisfactory ont of the present draft
as a basis, concludes: ga new con-
stitution would be q blessing, and ]
hope to see the State under an organic
law suitable to our wants and in har-
monv with our laws" lie complains
in previous paragraph that gambling
is declared to he Il vice, yet, in the
same article it is encouraged in its
worst forms, 10y the establishment of
lottery. Evidently his EXccllency
has no favorable opinion Of the efforts
which are being made to extend and
multiply this vice throughout the
State. The ono lottery which We have
is an evil which can 10y no means be
ameiUratcd, modified or rooted out by
the establishment of rival concern.
That would be as vain to accomplish
ANY good as it is to establish any right
by the erection of n second wrong.
If we take an account Of the lottery
and strike fair balance Of its benefits
and evils, We find heavy sum on the
wrong side. Its benefits relate entirely
to economic questions, such as the
forty thousand dollars a year paid to
the Charity Hospital, and spent in
that institution without much State
supervision as to the objects, mode Or
wisdom of the expenditure; then,
again, we are told, that many of the
tickets 20 out Of the State, and money
comes in from abroad in consequence
of the exchange. As money is not
wealth, and is never wanting for long
att time, in any wealthy community,
the advantages of the influx in return
for lottery tickets is limited to those
who are directly interestcd-in the pro-
fits of that enterprise. As the Gov
ernor very properly classes the LOTTERY
us a gambling institution, aud hence
vice, he can hardly be prepared to sell
the States consent for the establish
ment of a second, even on the seem
ingIy magnificent terms named in the
constitution, as the minimum price
for the privilege of setting up.another
wheel of fortune. The money now
paid as bonus by the Lottery Com
pany scarcely relieves the taxpayers
from any burden. The establishment
of rival company willing to pay a
similar sum would save nothing at all,
as the money would be doled out in
doubtful charities here and there, and
fritted away among those who, like
Senor Ordonnez, are ever on the look
out to "grow rich by taking care Of
the concerns of the poor" New wants
would be created by the possession of
new means to supply them, and the
resulting fruits would be disappointing
even to the projectors of the enter
prise. We think some such consider
.ations must have been present in the
sGovernor's mind when he declaimed
against a vice which incites breaches
sof faith and embezzlement in the effort
to get rich by the risk of other peo-
piles money on the turn of the wheel.
We have one lottery, which we can
not get rid of. 1t is enough.
