SOLUTION

They made two sales. First sale
at one-seventh of cent each-1st
sold Z eggs and received l cent,
2nd % for 4 cents, and third 40 for
Z cents. The second sale at 3 cents
each-the LIST had 3 eggs left for
the higher price, End 2, and the
third only l. 1t will be seen that
the 1st on second sale received 9
cents. The End 6, and the 3rd 3
cents. Thus, each received 10 cents
in the two sales.

DEATH OF COL. JACK WHARTON.
He is Stricken With ApOpleNy, and Dies
in Ten HOnrs.

At 10 minutes past 5 O'Clock last
evening United States Marshal Jack
Wharton died in the office of Surveyor
of Port Pinchback, in the Custom
House.
At about ) O'Clock Col. Wharton left
his Office in the Custom House, over
looking old I4cvee street, and went to
the office of Surveyor Pinchback, which
is on the opposite side of the building.
After q few moments conversation he
was about to return to his Office, when
T. b. Stamps, who was in the room,
called him back. Col. Wharton turned
to Stamps in response to his summons,
and suddenly said: s'Stamps, 1 don't
feel good. have headache. Open
the window for mc.'' Stamps threw up
himself on q sofa which stood near it.
After remaining seated n moment, he
laid himself down, and then asked
Stamps to remove his coat, saying: 81
feel very hot.'
Stamps was removing the coat, when
he noticed a strange look on Col. Whar-
toms face, and becoming alarmed for
the first time, he called Surveyor Pinch
back, who was writing at his desk. The
Surveyor turned to the assistance of
Stamps, and as he reached the sofa Col.
Wharton looked up Gin his face and
said, al am gone," and Immediately
went Off in II tit. The Surveyor gave a
loud and startled call for help, which
echoed through the building, and
brought II number of persons to the
room. Several messengers We're dis
patched for physicians, and in short
time DIR. Pratt arrived, and was fol-
lowed in few moments by DIR. Smythe.
They declared his sickness to be an
apoplectic stroke. All that could be
done WAS done, but Col. Wharton never
regained consciousness, and ut 8: 10 he
breathed his last. About an hour after
death his body was removed to the
late residence of the deceased, No. $50,
st. Charles street.-ZfMeS-D Democrat,

we submit the annexed extract from q
letter recently written by Mr.. Tilden,
which does not beer, however, on the
question of races, but docs directly on
the question Of what is now fiippantly
called "Bourbon Democracy"
In a period when there seems 70 he
little respect for the limitations Of
power prescribed by our written Consti-
tuition when assumptions ofungranted
authority are rife In all the departments
of the Federal Government; when that
Government Is being gradually changed
into an elective despotism, metldling
with everything belonging to the State
or to individuals j; when every new as
sumption of ungranted power creates
new opportunities, new facilities, aud
and new incentives to favOritism aud
jobbery; when the civil service has
been converted into balance of power
to determine the elections by pecunfary
ann other illegitimate Influences; when
the perverslon of high trusts to the
private gain Of the Official Is frequently
committed with apparent unconscious
ness OF wrong, and passes almost with
out rebuke, lis time that the teach
logs and example of Thomas Jefferson
be invoked to keep alive the glfmmer-
ing spark of official virtue and public
honor. .1
We conclude from these samples of
what thinking men are saying and
doing, that the advocates Of a third, in
dependent, liberal or hybrid party in
Louisiana, had better scratch their
heads while and wrestle little with
natural causes and political truths.

A correspondent of the 1berville
South writing from Monroe has some
kind words to say of the town and its
Inhabitants. We suspect the writer is
of the fairer sex,-and knows, there
fore, of what she writes:
A months sojourn in this beautiful
little city has even enhanced the pleas
ant impressions made at first sight.
Externally, Monroe is quite attractive,
but, socially, still more SO, and its cul-
tivated people are justly proud of the
classic reputation of their city. Towns,
as states, are entitled to certain tlistinc-
ton, and we find in this one a decided
ly literary turn, and withal there is
cool, aristocratic Indifference to most
of the notions and schemes that are in
novations upon the ideas that have
always prevailed here. Being the in
dependent centre Of u rich tributary
country, Monroe has been singularly
exempt from the changes that the last
two decades have brought upon most
Southern communities and it is indie
scribably refreshing to come here and
find reproduced as it were, that beauti-
full civilization that rises like IL dream
of the olden time, and one which Pol
lard, in his Lost Cause, pronounces the
most touching euiOgy ever written by
the pen of man.
The school system has been rather
deficient, but in charge of Prof. Smith,
good male and female colleges are es-
tablished, and from the liberal patron
age they receive, he certainly has
gained the confidence of the people OF
this city. All the public funds are con.
centrated in his hands for the benefit OF
the academic department, leaving the
higher school or collegiate department
to be paid for by regular tuition fo.
each scholar. This is good plan, rs
| the public money is not sufficient for
both, and is certainly due the primary
scholars.

FENCES.

the OVERLOOKED districts of our own and
adjoining States Is, what shall be done
to supply the fences destroyed or washed
away by the fiood-or ia there any plan
by which the necessary use Of fences
can be avoided : 1t is an established
fact by actual statistics that the fences
In the United States cost over goo, 0OC-
600. The value of the fences in Louis.
lana bear fair proportion In this esti.
mate. 1t may be fairly stated that one
half of the fencing In the entire over
flowed region has been utterly destroy.
Fed. 1t is folly to think of supplying
this deficiency before making q crop.
The planters have neither the time, the
force nor the money to do this work
1t is evident that In many parishes, If u
crop is made this year, 1t must he done
without fence protection. iy
Now, the question presents itself,
would not this be good time to try
the plan Of fencing stock in, and thus
avoiding this enormous expense and
source of trouble to the planters. 1t is
to be presumed that the hill parishes
would object to this plan, and yet the
first suggestion for its adoption, which
we have seen, comes from the Claiborne
Guardian, the representative of the
largest and richest upland parish in
the State. With the large planter we
think there can be no question about
Its being greatly to his advantage to
dispense with fences, except such as
would be necessary to keep his stock OF
various kinds within limits and under
control and even with the small farm
er we believe 1t would be to his inter-
est to keep one good COW and feed 1t
regularly, rather than have dozen
worthless creatures, half starved in
their dependence upon the poor grasses
of the uplands. 1t will we'll repay any
one wishing to raise cattle, sheep or
even hogs, to herd them or keep them
constantly under personal supervision.
We are aware there are many plans
which might BIO suggested, and we do
not intend to urge any particular one,
but in view of present circumstances
and the approaching session Of the
General Assembly, we wish to call this
most important matter tothe serious
consideration. of our legislature, trust
ing that some action will be taken sat
isfactory to all portions of the State.

Cheniere Bayou.
by de overho',
A little mud chinck'd cabin stands. the
home Of Uncle Joe.
He fished and hunted thereabouts, in happy
days now gone;
Companion'd by his faithful dogs, he dwelt
there all alone.
De raccoon and de 'possum once, were wont
to hear his horn,
When ringing out clear and loud upon de
winters morn.
His beagles howled wild joyous bark.
WIENER they heard his voice,
And played in happy circles round, a SEEM
ing to rejoice.
The last time they went hunting there, they
had a raccoon race,
And when his dogs had made a "tree," he
hurried to the place
Twas way out from the waters edge, with
in a cypress break,
High up a black-gum hollow tree, they'd
forced the "coon" to take.
Then loudly shouted Uncle Joe. TO make his
beagles s'stay,"
And on his shoulder threw his gun and
onward piled his way.
Ger logs and bogs-though brush and vine.
excitedly he went,
And little did he seem to care. his torch was
nearly spent.
The night was cold, both dark and irear,
iiS for starlight dinly shone,
And ere he reached the blackgum-tree, his
light was nearly gone;
Not long. tho aickering flames went ont,
within that dismal place,
And naught had he now LETT him there, his
pathway out to trace,
All night his dogs kept barl<in' on. cen to
the break of day
And even still way after that, they wouldn't
come away.
The neighbors got suspishus then, that
sumthin' wasn't right;
He must have had some bad misl,ap, ~
hunting on that night.
They tracked his footprints plainly out,
upon the fallen logs; ..--
Encouraged too they followed on, the
barkin' of the dogs.

Thro' tangled vines and Jagged limbs, Of
