to meet his equal This modest iudivid
nal, unknown to fame, can be seen any da,
in the vicinity Of Common and Franklin
streets. His name IS A. johnson and hi
success shows that some of lis race may
attain high positions in the arts.
The workingmen Of this city, who are
naturally Republican,, have for som,
years complained that they could not get
fair representation in the Custom HOUSE
and Federal positions here. And now q
head las been given to Il movement
which will-so they contend-hold the
balance Of power, and be able to dictate
the two city Congressman. The work
| ingmen must be given credit for organ
| izing il, two grand bodies to be governed
! by one head centre. The white and col
| ored laborers have each their separate
| associations, and having last winters
strike in mind, have come to the con-
clusion that to preserve harmony, the
same tariff mnst govern all; and now
these consolidated associations have ar
ranged to throw their influence solidly
to the Republican party if they can make
the leaders appreciate their strength ;
otherwise the opposition will get their
support. If President Arthur thoroughly
understood the local situation here Lou
isiana might again be Republican State.
Your correspondent is reliably informed
that the hoodlum element have offered
their support to Col. Jas: Lewis as an
Administrator if he will agree to run at
the fall election, and the oldest and best,
pointing to the condition of our streets,
say to afflble james, "Go ahead"
West End and Spanish Fort continue
to draw thousands of our people every
evening. Two novel Instruments, the
saxoplione and the xylophone, discourse
delightful music in the hands of Prof. z.
A. Lefebre and Mr.. Chas. Lowe. The
saxophone is described as not unlike Il
large German smoking pipe; it has the
brass cylinder of the horn and the reed
Of the clarionet. The xylophone is much
upon the cornet style, but must be heard
to he appreciated. At the Fort pieces
from the comedies of the day are given
every evening for the amusement of
visitors.
Our streets are nightly becoming illu-
mined by the progressive electric light.
There is no doubt that since it's influence
was felt upon the levees and wharves,
that crime in that quarter has greatly
and as men-that is bad men
like darkness rather than light, as this
light is extended throughout our city,
travelling at night will be more secure.
Thus while our citizens are getting rid
of a grinding gas monopoly at the same
time their wives and families will he
safer from the hoodlum and the evil dis
posed. We hail with gladness the march
of progress. Yours truly,

pet ideas aud tenets, and seem to have
entirely forgotten the simple definition
/ Of liberation. ".OrthodoSy is my doxy,
and heterodoxy your doxy,o is the unex-
| pressed creed Of Il large proportion Of the
! human family. Of course, it is possible

There is nothing more refreshing than to
meet and converse with u person who
has great strength of belief. Only when
we believe with that "halief that
amounts to knowledge" instead of merely
"supposing and inclining to think" can
we achieve great success-snccess in the
highest and best sense. But the faith,
whatever it be, must he co-eSistent with
kindly tolerance, about which many
people seem to have very odd ideas.
There is another class, and it includes
large number, who profess no abiding
conviction, who seem all sightless and
slavish, accomplishing and attempting
little save what the animal instinct
might teach. They hover alone in the
grand Vanity Fair of the world accept
ing without reserve the opinions of the
dominant party, follow blindly false
leaders, and are dazzled and blinded by
empty shows.

perience with narrow minded individuals

A Tartar's Courtship.

"What do you pay in your coun-
try for ;wife?" asked Tartar of
an Englishnlan.
1--WE pay nothing. We ask the
girl, and II she says yes, and her
parents don't refuse, we marry her"
I" But II the girl does not like you?
If she hits you on the head with her
whip, or gallops away when you ride
up to her side?" replied the Tartar,
referring to his nations method of
courtship by running after a girl on
horseback, what do you do in that
case?"
Why, we do not marry herr"
" But If you want to marry her
very much; if you love her more
than your best horse, and all your
sheep and camels put together?" the
Tartar persisted, putting an extreme
case for the sake of the argument.
eve cannot marry, her without
her consent"
"And are the girls moonfaced'?"
he continued, setting forth Tar
tar's perfection of female beauty.
"Some ure," said the Englishman
For few moments the Tartar
seemed lost in meditation. Present
ly, removing his sheepskin hat, and
rubbing his shaven head, he asked,-
viii you take me with you to
your country? 1t would be SO nice.
1 should get moon-faced wife, and
all for nothing. Why, she would
not cost so much rs sheep"
But suppose she would not have
your"
mot have me !" and the Tartar
looked astonished, "Not have me!
Well, should give her a white wrap
per, or ring for her ears or her
nose"
"And if she still refused you?"
g Why, / should give her a gold
ornament for her head, and what
girl could resist such PRESENT."
