DR.. G. w. Rails, a dentist, was
brought to town Thursday, by Consta-
bic J. ]. Lyons, and lodged in Jail. 1t
seems that the doctor some weeks ago
hired a horse from ]. NJ. Jones and a
hack of J. NJ. Daniels, of this place,
for few days. After having been
gone some days over the rime spec
fled, and hearing nothing of him,
Messrs. Jones and Daniels caused
a warrant to be issued for bis arrest,
and the same was placed in the hands
of Constable Lyons for service, who
apprehendcd and arrested Rials in
Iberia parish, fifteen miles below Gen
neret. He had disposed of the horse
and buggy some time previous. The
doctor is an old man, and should have
lived long enough to know better than
to engage in transaction of this
kind.

Little Sister Abby.
My LITTLE FRIEND:-I have never seen
you, and perhaps l never shall; but your
aunt has told me of you, and of the little
| baby sister who was laid away under last
winters SHOWS, and how deeply you griev-
cd tor her death. Since then the grass has
grown green upon her grave; the little
birds have sang above it, and now again
the SHOWS have covered it, but you know
that your little sister is not there; only the
little house in which she lived when on
earth. But now she lives in a mansion
grander and finer than that of any king or
queen on earth a house where the streets
are of gold and pearl; where there is no
night, no sickness, no pain and no Cying !;
and if you are good, you will go there, too,
and be with her there forever and forever.
know how hard it must be for little
child to understand how one can die, and
yet live; but you take seed next spring
OF any kind, if only a grain OF corn. or
wheat; You see nothing but little hard
seed; it does not look as if it had any life,
but you plant it in the ground, and then
wait for it a few days, and look for it, the
little life that was hidden in the seed has

If the true meaning Of the word
politics be taken, the politician would
be pre- eminently philanthropist, a
true friend OF every citizen but the
dictionary of the pres mt shows him
to be frequently the opposite essen
TALLY selfish, venal, corrupt, and often
the worst enemy of his race.
The most recent illustration of this
last truth has just been given in our
State, where the legislature has decla-
red vacant the Offices of all the char
liable institutions of the State, and
has also legislated out of office the re-
gents and guardians of such institu-
tions. The asylums for the insane, for
the deaf and dumb, for the blind, etc..
have all been, by vote, deprived of
the medical officers who have for years
been in charge Of them; who have
become the custodians of the physical
and mental secrets of thousands, and
who have become practically familiar
with the diseases, mental and physi-
cal, of the multitudes under their
charge. Such dastardly, cowardly,
infamous act, should and must meet
with but one reward, the personal ex-
ecration of every just man and wo-
man, and with the popular damnation
of every one who looks to the ballot
box for redress. There is no pretense
of condemnation or reprobation of the
officers recently incumbent; they are
beyond reproach or criticism, but they
hold offices which the party i'll power
desire for their huckstering followers.
These offices have been summarily
and outrageously vacated they are
not political in character, history, or
relation they are scientific solely, in
purpose and function. 1t is solely
brought about by special legislation
which, if looked into properly, will be
found more than likely unconstitu-
tional. But even if they were politi-
cal in character, their incumbena have
not yet filed "the terms" for which
they were elected and they are par
ties to a contract, the trustees Cor rep
resentatives of the State) being the
other parties. They were, by an i'm
piled contract, elected for such a term
to do such work, and for such price ;
without their consent, and unless it
can be shown that they are derelict or
incompetent, their contract cannot be
legally abrogated.

DOESN'T LIKE GEN. GRANT.-We
have heard some mean things said con-
corning people, but the Republicans,
when they get to talking about each
other, bear off the palm. Listen to
what the Ottumwa { Iowa) Press says
of that big tramp and national pau
per, Gen. Grant: Gen. Logan states
that Gen. Grant really wants to be
placed upon the retired list, as proof
that the country still appreciates his
services. This is very clever of Gen.
Grant, for fact. After making him
president for eight years, and giving
him every species of bull pup which
canine science has yet produced, he
wants to know if the country appre-
ciates his services. He desires to be
placed on the retired list and draw d
salary for daring deeds rendered al
the Chicago convention in $780, There
is no immediate danger of Grants be-
ing stricken with bashfulness. The
great American pail bearer has the
polished cheek of a hired girl who in.
sists on forty dollars month and
found. Grant is fellow fit for any
niche in government life. If he can't
be leader he can be beggar, and hal
perhaps the only conscience that hash
sledge- hammer accompaniment ii
the world. His friends insist that
Grant is selt-made man, and we be-
gin to believe it, as it relieves God Of
a great responsibility

Mystery.

See the sun, whose wondrous beauty
Floods the earth with blessings rare,
KissipS back to life's sweet freshness
Dainty blossoms, fragrant, fair.
And like fairy footsteps sounding
Through the woodland, on the plain,
As each blade OF spicy greenness
Thrusts itself to life again.
Binding clouds with sunlight flooded,
ScefddirT in the far away,
Majestic mountains, purple outlined,
Barring us from the day;
Grand old ocean, with its thunder,
All along the shores of time,
Making sunrise deep and tuneful,
Stirred to fulness by the wind.
All are wondrous in their power,
All are wrapped in mystery deep,
From the dainty woodland blossom,
Reused to life from dreamless sleep.
To the music of the waters,
AS they beat against the shore,
Murmuring, in their strong pulsations,
Mysterious songs forevermore

a good one. If the people are to be

A new industry has recently been
opened in some of the lumber regions
of this country. A steamboat prop
erly equipped with machinery for
grinding bark is run to place where
bark is plenty. The hemlock is then
broughtin great quantities and ground
and after being compressed is packed
in kegs ready for shipment to the tan
yards of Europe. The great scarcity
OF bark in that country makes it i'm
possible for the tanners to compete
with the leather producers of America
