THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION

Since it appeared that st. Landry
could not secure the nomination for
Hon. Henry L. Garland, we must say
that the Convention did most tit and
proper thing, in choosing Maj. Andrew
5. Heron, as the Democratic candi-
date to represent this district in Con-
gress. He has been in public life many
years, has held many positions Of trust,
and has always been a consistent dem
ocrat. Better than this the purity and
uprightness of his life has never been
questioned. Major Heron is a lawyer
of great ability,.and as a speaker has
few superiors, if any, in the State.
Without derogating from the emf
nent merits of the gentlemen over
whose heads this nomination was con-
ferred, we freely declare that the con-
vention has done most praiseworthy
thing, and we predict that the distin-
guished gentleman chosen to stand for
congress will receive the united sup
port of the democracy of the district.

The numerous friends of Hon. Geo.
W. Hudspeth, Judge OF this judicial
district, are making efforts to have him
appointed to fill the place on the SUI
preme Bench made vacant by the death
of Judge William M. Levy. Judge
Hudspeth, who was educated at the
University of Virginia, and graduated
in the law department of the University
of Louisiana, before the war, is now
about forty five years of age. He has
always been student, and he is a ripe
scholar He has been District Attorney
and District Judge, together, in this
judicial district from 1868 to the present
time He distinguished himself in both
positions, and gave general satisfaction
to all good citizens. He is well quail
fed, especially in criminal law, to fill
the place of associate justice OF the Su-
preme Court and the Governor could
not make better selection than Judge
Hudspeth.

ANCIENT BIRD TRACKS.

Rev. Elias Mason, writing to the
Boston Traveller, describes visit
paid to the sandstone quarry at
Turner's Falls where workmen are
now engaged in excavating the bird
tracks that have made tht quarry
geologically famous. The ledge is
on the right bank of the Connecticut
river, above the falls, and in the
town of Gill. 1t rises some so or 40
feet above the river, and consists of
thin lamina of a dark colored and
somewhat brittle sandstone. On the
faces of the slabs are found the
tracks, depressed and in relief.
They are in general clear cut and
distinct. The utmost care is taken
not to break the tracks in blasting,
and every fragment of the rock hav-
ing an impression is carefully pre-
served. Some very fine specimens
have recently been brought to light.
One of them has tracks of an enor-
nous animal, five feet apart, and the
tracks themselves (three-toed) ale
10 inches long. An animal making
such tracks must have been, accord
ing to Prof. Huxley, who visited this
quarry, some 25 to 80 feet in hight.
Mr.. Mason was permitted to take
with him several beautiful specimens,
one of which exhibits the delicate
tracery of an insect escaping over
the soft mud; another exhibits the
ripples of the wave, another the
| drops of rain, and others have well
defined imprints of the tracks of
birds. He also saw the impressions
of several kinds of ferns and grasses.
Mr.. Stoughton, who is working this
| geological mine, considers some of
the largest slabs to be worth from
$500 to $1,000, but the cost of exca-
waiting them is heavy. This whole
region is supposed to have been COW
cred by the sea. AS the waves re-
ceded, birds and quadrupeds whose
species are extinct left impressions
of their feet upon the mud, which,
hardening into stone, has held them
through the ages for the examination
of the scientists of the present day.
Compared with these tracks as to
age, the pyramids of Egypt are as of
yesterday.

WHAT Is PROTOPLASM AN
HOW MUCH rs 1T WORTH 2

The eminent English scientist, Pro
Huxley, made but short stay in Ne
York, but his arrival was the caus
of conversation between one of th
city's amateur scientists and matte
of fact friend. The amateur was al
enthusiastic admirer of Huxley, and
he spoke so extravagautly about hin
that his friend finally became curious
and asked, ''Who in thunder is Hux
ley, any way?" "You don't meal
to say you have not heard of Prof
Huxley, the great scientist?" Eyes
| do, though; never heard his name
before. What has he done?" "Why
man. Huxley made the important dis
eovery about protoplasm." "About
what z" .sProtoplasm !" ssAnd wha
the dickens is protoplasm?" s'Now
look here, you don't mean to sit there
and tell me you don't know what pro-
toplasm is ?" ''That's just it. Nary
protoplasm p "Well, protoplasm is
what we may call the life principle.

"Oh, nonsense The life principle
is nature; the starting point of vita
action, so to speak" ssHe discoyerl
ed that, did hep Eyes, a few wears
ago in England" "And what good
is it going to do?" ''Good great
deal of good. 1t expands the circle
of human knowledge, and is valuable
in bearing out the theory of evolution.
1t is noble contribution to science,
and it has made Huxley one of the
few immortal names that were not
born to die $50 Huxley knows all
about the life principle, does hep.
"1 es-all about it. - ssAnd the start
ing point of vital action?' exact

cents pound anyhow. Pears to
me these scientific fellows put on a
big lot of airs about very little. Pro-
toplasm, eh? Shouldn't wonder if
Huxley came over here to get up a
company to work it. Did you say
the mine is in England?" 1t is need
less to say that the scientist gave uI
his friend in despair.

1916 AND 1882.-In 1916 one
bushel of corn would buy one pound
of nails. In 1882 one bushel of corn
would buy fifteen pounds of nails.
In 1861 it took from twenty to
eighty dozens of eggs to buy one
bushel of salt. In 1882 two dozen
of eggs would do the same thing.
In 1916 it required sixty-four bush
els of barley to buy one yard of
broadcloth. In 1882 five bushels of
barley would do the business.
In 1916 it required one bushels of
wheat to purchase one yard Of calico.
In 1882 one bushel of wheat would
buy twenty yards of better article.
In 1916 a pair of woolen blankets
cost as much as COW. In 1882 one
cow would buy from six to twenty
pairs of blankets superior in every

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Bird-lke, she's up at day-dawn's blush,
In summer heats or winter SHOWS;
Her veins with healthful blood afush,
Her breath of balm, her cheek a rose;
In eyes-the kindllest eyes on earth
Are sparkles of a homely mrth;
Demure, arch-humor is ambushed in
The clear curves of her dmpled chm,
All, fount or wholesome womanhood,
Far from the worlds unhallowed strife,
Gods blessing on the Farmers Wife.
| love to mark her matron charms
Her fearless steps through household ways,
Her sunburnt hands and buxom arms,
Her waist. unbound by torturing stays;
Blithe as bee, with busy care.
She's here. she's there. she's everywhere;
Long ere the clock has struck for noon
Home chords of toll are all in tune,
And from each richly bounteous hour
She drains its use, as bees flower,
Apart from PASSIONS pain and strife,
Peace gently girds the Farmers Wife.
Homeward (his daily labor done)
The stalwart farmer slowly plods,
From battling. between shade and sun.
With sullen glebe and stubborn sods.
Her welcome on his spirit bowed
Is sunshine flashing on a cloud.
All vanished is the brief eclipse!
Hark to the sound of welded lips,
And words Of tender warmth that start
From out the husbands grateful heart!
O.! well he knows how vain his life,
Unsweetened by the Farmers Wife!
But 10 the height of pure delight
Comes with the evenings stainless joys.
When by the hearthstone spaces BRIGHT
Blend the glad tones of girls and boys;
Their voices rise in gleeful swels.
Their laughter rings like elfn bells.
Till with look 'twixt smile and frown
The mother lays her infant down,
And at her firm, uplifted hand
There's silence mid the jovial band;
Her signal stills the harmless strife
Love crowns with law the Farmers Wife.
Ye DANES in proud palatial halls
OF lavished wiles and jeweled dress.
On whom, perchance, no infant calls.
IFor barren oft your loveliness)-
Turn hitherward those languid ewes,
And for moments space be wisel
Your sister mid the country dew
Is three times nearer heaven than ycu;
And where the palms of Eden stir.
Dream not that We shall stand by her.
Tho in your false. bewildering life,
Your folly scorned the Farmers Wife
