WHO BOLTED /?
From st. Martin Observer

From st. Martin Observer
A compliment is due and We
take pleasure in paying it to those
Of our colored citizens who dared
vote for Judge Beattie, that is for
a Gun lidate of their choice, in
spite of the selfish leaders who
had in view but their own ad.
vancement. This We say, not that
we were in favor Of The Judge, but
because those independent and
respectable citizens have demon
stra,ed that they are really free
and no longer to be dictated to or
bull.dozed.
The leaders charge against
Judge Beattie was that he had
bolted ; but how did it happen
that here and in the parishof@La-
fayette, at the very hour that the
Convention was being held 10
Donaldscnville, nearly every
prominent Republican was loudly
Boosting of his intelligence, knowl-
edge and integrity, and that, new
ertheless, he was defeated by dele.
gates sent by those who, a few
days before, were-most of them
urging his candidacy? Was it
not the delegates who bolted
Be this as it may, it remains
manifest that if, in every commu-
Mtg. two or three individuals can
nominate and elect whomsoeyer
they please, not for the benefit of
the community, but for their own
benefit, without regard to- the
preference Of the people or the
party for others than imposed can
diiates, we have ceased to he a
republican State, and universal
suffrage is but a constitutional
farce and a danger to all.

THE USUAL RESULT.

It is not to be denied that a
good sewing machine is Que Of the
most important appurtenances Of
the moderen household.
We thought We had a good ma.
chine in our household until one
day the agent Of the New Home
presented himself at our door and
proceeded to deliver an Grafton
upon its characteristic merits.
But" We answered. "our ma
chine serves US nicely ans suits Us
we'll, and we do not care for
another"
The agent, however, begged the
privilege Of leaving one of his ma
chimes with US, for the ladies to
try"
The request was not nnreasona.
BILE, SO VT granted it-but more to
oblige the agent than anything
e|se ; for we really did not want
the machine. and had not the re.
hottest idea Of buying it.
The machine once in the house,
it was natural that the ladies
should look it over, they did so,
and as a consequence fell in love
with it. They say that without
the slightest wish to decry or dis.
parage any other machine, this, all
things considered, is. in their
opinion, the most desirable one to
be had.
The upshot Of the whole matter
was that the old machine was dis.
posed of, and the "Light.R Running
New Home" installed in our
household. 1t is pronounced a
genuine beauty and a real comfort
and "our fo!ks2 US to tell

Truth says the present condition OF

are now being lighted with it at one
fourth the price of gas; incandescent
lamps can be introduced into every
room of any house so soon as the mains
are laid; there can be a separate meter
to each house; the lamps can be sepa-
rately lighted aud put out by turning a
cock; ii one light goes out, no other
one is affected; the subdivision is SO
complete that there is no glare, and yet
a room with incandescent lamps is far
more brightly lighted than with an
equal number of gas lamps; and an
equal amount of candle-power produced
by electricity is cheaper than an equal
amount produced by gas. In addition,
the electric light has no odor; it does
net vitiate or heat the air, nor does it,
like gas, tarnish paint or decoration.
