Times.D Democrat.
Hon. D. John Ellis has so far utter,
lily failed TO make COED his charge Of
corruption against the Judiciary and
legislature Of Louisiana.
MIR. Ellis claims to be Democrat,
he has recently acknowledged his obi
cations to the party, and yet he is
quoted all over the country as having
denounced the Democracy fhis own
state, aud especially with having
charged the judiciary of Isouisiana
with corruption. When called uponto
point ont the men who have tisgraeed
their party and themselves he has
cvaded the issue and maintained a
silence that suggests an inability on
his part TO make good his damaging
and sweeping allegations.
We are loath to believe that Mr..
Ellis made his charges against tine ju-
dietary of his own state upon mere
rumor; that he would have thrown
suspicion and odium upon gentlemen
who until NOW have stood before the
world with mblemished populations,
without ample proof to substantiate
his statements.
The reputation of one clothed with
the judicial emine is too sacred a
thing to be DESTROYED by insinuation,
inuendo, or sweeping but unsupported
charges. and Mr.. Ellis cannot be cx-
cused for failing tosustain the charges
he has made. Mere rnmOr is not
sufficient to warrant such an attack as
Mr.. Ellis has made upon his party at
large and the Judiciary in particular,
The fact that Mr.. Ellis represents
in congress one of the most important
districts in this state, a district en-
bracing large portion of the city of
New Orleans, givesgreatweight abroad
to his assertions, and therefore it is
incumbent on him to either admit that
he WAS guilty of recklessly defaming
our judiciary or furnish the names of
the corrupt Judges and the .cirenm-
stances establishing the fact that they
were engaged in specializing in state
and city securities that fluctuatcd with
their decisions"
1t seems TO MS that the Judiciary
should not rest quiet under this assault
upon their integrity, bnt that, acting
in concert, the Judges should demand
of Mr.. Ellis that he retract his words
Or make them good.

tainP lie says: 1.-The agricultural
industry Of England touched the high

on q continual and rapid decline, and

for farms was active. In Ireland a

A Historical Coincidence.


1t is very striking illustration of the
traditional forms of Eastern warfare that
the lying bulletin in which Arab Pasha
announced to his followers the destruc-
ton or capture of the whole English fleet
in the recent action before Alexandria,
is an almost literal copy of that with
which Mana Sahib, in July, 1857, en-
deavoured to sustain the failing courage
of his Sepoys when the news of Have
locks advance upon Cawnpore to avenge
the massacre began to spread among
them. 1.-The Queen of the English"
wrote the Arab Pasha of the Ganges.
s'gathered mighty host to fight against
us, and put her soldiers upon many ships,
and sent them as far as Egypt But the
Padishah (Sultan) heard Of their coming,
and he sent and bade the Pasha of
Egypt destroy them all Then the Pasha
of Egypt gathered his ships-of-war and
poured the thunder of his cannon upon
the fleet of the unbelieyers until all their
vessels were taken or destroyed and the
yellow-faced English were sunk to the
bottom of the sea- "-Aefseion Standard

EXPERIMENTAL.

sNow, little fiies." the old fly said,
you're leaving home to seek your bread.
so, when upon the world you re thrown,
Heed my advice or you'll be blown;
There's lots or rrnps for silly flies,
For which you'll need your thousand eyes.
When on a ceiling you make tracks
Look out for sticks Of ceiling whacks.
On bald heads yuu may safely perch;
They're always last usleep-in church:
Fly-paper's sure to bring you grief,
So don't get mashed on a fly-leaf;
Beware of syrup-titious ways,
And don't be where much .taffy lays.
Zen where more lasses go to waist
You may receive q belt miss-placed.
What people eat, that you may eat;
Avoid hy-poison, though it's sweet;
And, now I'm buZZy, say good Dyer
And never think you are too fly.
The little flies with staring eyes
Looked wise, but acted otherwise.
One fiew right in a candy store,
But died ere he could ask for more,
Because adulterated sweets
Are poison to whoever eats
In q bakers shop anoter flew,
And found authorizations, too;
He took the cake" then shut his wings
And died from eating pies an things.
Who quickly Joined their hy-ty brothers.
Authorizations there are grocer
Than any other place we know, sir,
Save drug stores where, as doctors tell,
The well get sick and sick get we'll
One little fiy still keeps alive,
And will continue long to thrive;
For, knowing men adulteratc,
He always takes fiy-poison straight,
And finds, of course, no poison where
There ought to be a goodly share.

Canonchet Sold.

Recently the famous homestead of
Governor William Sprague, Canonchet,
was sold under the hammer. There was
large crowd in waiting, but all were
denied admission. On Monday an at
tachment for $40, 200 was lowed on the
estate by United States Marshal in
favor of Philadelphia people. Trustee
Chaffee and Lawyer Patton were there
ready for the sale. At twelve o'clock the
largest crowd ever attending an auction
sale of the Sprague property assembled
in the roadway in front of the main en-
trance of Canonchet. Before the sale
was begun, Mr.. Richard Comstock, of
Providence. gave notice to the auctioneer
and all intending to bid that on Mon
day the firm of Mowry & Comstock had
attached the Canonchet property in the
name of Evan Randolph. of Philadelphia,
for $4,000 on q process issued out OF
the United States Court. Mr.. G. Frank
Parkhurst in reply to this said that this
attachment grew out of a suit of
Hoyt, Sprague & Co. The title
to this property was originally in
the Spragues and the latter were not
liable in this matter. Auetioneer Hall
invited the crowd to get over the gate
and come across the bridge, where it
was shady. They followed him to the
other side of the bridge by walking
across the stringers, and were about to
pass on to the grounds when Willie
Sprague suddenly appeared in the road
mounted on horse. He cried s.Haltn
and the order not being obeyed at once,
he put his right hand into his pocket and
took hold of pistol, and then there was
halt. No one offered to advance a step.
The bidding was begun by Henry Hid
den, of Providence, for S20,000,l and
George w. Butts made it S21 200. Oil
yer w. Green, of Wexford, bid S26, 900.
Then Sheriff Tucker gave notice that the
local auctioneer, under whose direction
the sale was begun, was not legally ap-
pointed, and that he should hold every
one responsible forwhat was done. Mr..
Hall explained the facts of Mr.. Chand-
ler's appointment and engagement be-
fore the town council, and then the sale
again progressed. The issue was now
between James d. Lynch, of New York,
who bid in the interest of Francis ID.
Moulton, the mutual friend" of Beech
er and Tilton. Moulton finally secured
the property at S62, ,250.
While the sale was in progress Gov
ernor Sprague occupied the front piazzi
of the house with rife in his hand,
awaiting the advance of the enemy. The
sale was terrible sacrifice, 5000, 900
having been laid out on the property,
while there were four hundred acres Of
land thrown in. 1t was bought for spec
ulation and will be sold in lots.-Prosi-

The Picturesque Side of Poverty.

Poverty, as we must all own, need
not of necessity be squalid. Cross the
Channel and take look at the conti-
mental towns and cities. There the life
of the lower classes has its picturesque
side; the result, or possibly the cause OF
a natural taste for the beautiful being
developed even in the poorest peasant.
The fisher-girls upon the opposite. coast
deck their persons as well as their
houses, and go about their daily tasks
unconscious models for the artist. The
blue-bloused peasant working in the
fields must supply his bit of color to
complete the landscape; and the bour-
geois condemned to town-life would not
suffer about him the sad -colored houses
and sober surroundings which we allow
under our gray skies. What a host of
stored-up pictures crowd into the mind,
as memory fills in the pleasant back
ground of poor mans life abroad!
Even the lazy lazzaroni who lounge
through life under italian skies ask
their aims upon paiace-steps. amid the
plash of fountains and the scent of
range-grovesi But what q revolving
contrast presents itself when we think
of a poor mans life at home in Seven
Dials or similar slums, the Augean
stables of civilization, whose cleansing
and identifying must needs prove an
Herculean task!
And sight is not the only sense graft
fed upon the other side of the Channel.
The ear is pleased as well as the eye.
Open-air concerts are put within reach
of the people at mere nominal cost, or
at no cost at all. The German imbibes
with his beer refreshing draught of
music, which elevates him above the
mere sensual enjoyment of the moment
The mountaineer jodels his way cheerily
from Alp to Alp, and peasant voices
everywhere lend themselves almost un-
consciously to a concord of sweet
sounds,'' which makes the wheel of life
cevolve smoothly and harmoniously.-
