You are getting in your work very
neatly, Bro. Bently; but you must al
low that the Vienna Sentinel outruns
you in opposing Gov. McEnery, when
it asks, referring to the Governors
friends:
"Why do not these great lovers Of
party harmony, who profess to value
party more than men, who, if judged
by their professions, are willing to sac
riice ALL to maintain party harmony,
why do they not come forward and say
that they are willing to retire McEn-
cry from the race and unite on some
good and competent man not now
prominently before the people? Will
they do this? Are they willing to give
up McEnery if they are assured that
party harmony will thereby be re-
stored?"
The tact is, Bro. Pearce, we don't
know why they don't, unless it be that
all the dampbools in the State are not
dead. Perhaps our brother of the
Chief may be able to furnish better
answer in this Gaze, since, politically,
he is not entirely destitute of either
experience or cheek.

RAILROAD ITEMS.

Graduation on section twenty-seven
will be completed about the middle Of
next week. In that point the track is
already laid, and this work done, track
laying will be pushed on to Russton,
which point will be reached by the
25th.
The Shreveport Standard, of Wednes-
day, referring to fears that continued
rise in Red river might cause suspen-
sion of work on the railroad bridge at
that point, says:
In conversation with Mr.. Houser,
the engineer who has charge Of its con-
struction, he states that is not the case;
that the work will go steadily on with
out any interruption until the last nail
is driven and the last bolt riVeted.
Capt. Scully thinks the bridge will be
completed by tine 1st Of January next,
and ready for cars and other convey
ances to pass over.

CONCORD OF SWEET SOUNDS.

An olHOx never fOrgr's the pop of

the Donaldsonville Chief forgotten the
many good lickings his pariy--the Re-
publican party-has received from the
Democrats in this State. Although
not in exactly good shape, the Chief is
taking hand in the present Demo
cratic contest, and hurls its bat at the
friends of Gov. McEnery in the follow
ing style-modeled, of course, after the
old Republican manner of scoring Il
home run:
Taking the division of the State
Committee as foundation, the McEn-

: ARE THEY DEALING FAIRLY?

There is one significant fact connec-
ted with the adjustment Of the differ
ences between the regular and boiling
members of the State Central Com
mittee, to which no attention has been
called by the press, but, which will
bear comment.
Who was it,-whch wing was it,
that was contemplating unfair means
IN organizing the State Convention?
Item 1. The proof is, that Mr.. Fitz
patrick, Notwithstanding vote of
want OF confidence-which might have
been framed and passed as resolution
declared that no organization
could take place, unless By the voice of
two-third's majority.
There was not the faintest semblance
ofsa disposition of fairness in this,
when Mr.. Fitzpatrick should come to
organize the State Convention.
Z. Item 2. When it came to arranging
the terms of adjustment, it was the
seeding faction that proposed and
exacted that the Chairman Of the State
Central Committee, in temporarily
organizing the State Convention,
should give to each faction an equal
voice in naming a temporary president.
This was conceded, without quibbling,
by the members who had elected Mr..
Eustis.
hesFitzpatrick element had not
contemplated any unfairness, how did
it transpire that they were so tenacious
in requiring-what they could not
have enforced-that no discrimination
should be made against them by Mr..
Eustis when he came to organize the
Convention? Did not the suggestion,
itself, Of possible unf,rness imply,
under the circumstances, Il previous
determination by the friends of Ogden
TO organize the Convention with a
president of their own way Of think
ing, and who would rule that body as
their leader, Fitzpatrick, had attemp-
ted to rule the State Central Com
mittee2 Now comes the question:
the demands of the seceders having
been satisfied in the State Central
Committee,-will they and their friends
abide by the action of the Democratic
State Convention and support its nomi-
nees +? Will they, as fact, go into a
State Convention with that under.
standing, when it shall have become
known to them in advance that the
supporters of Governor McEnery viii!
be in majority in that body?
We are justified, trom recent de-
velopments, in the anticipating a little,
too.

Tipping and Feeling.

The English, or, rather, the conti-
mental, habit Of tipping" is becoming
one of the habits of this country also.
At large and fashionable hotels and
restaurants it is hard to get served
properly without fleeing the waiter.
He and the sleeping-ca porter stand at
the head of the tipping profession,
but beneath them are hotel porters,
messengers, baggage carriers, ianitors
and others. The man who resists or
Overlooks them has more courage than
Wellington himself. We know a gen
tleman who among his acquaintances
is esteemed a yeritable hero for having
given a sleeping-car porter ten cents
instead of twenty FIVE, claiming that
the ten was all the porter earned by
backing his boots, and that the sleep
ing-car company paid the porter for
making up beds and attendance.
The system of tipping or feeling is
still young in this country; but 1t will
probably grow, AS everything else does,
to enormous dimensions The time
may come when our farmers will. "a

demand a siNpence for showing an
American gentleman the farmers own

Large crinoline, so offensive to
good taste, need be no longer dreaded,
as its dimensions are now on tho
wane.
Some leading New York dress
makers are trying to introduce the
straight, unlooped old-fashioned over
skirt.
All kinds of hats and bonnets
large, small, and medium sizes, and In
every imaginable shape, are in
fashion.
Felt, cloth, velvet, chenille. wool
braid, leather, kid, cashmere, and wors-
ted embroidery bonnets are all worn
or will be worn this winter.
White velvet, white cashmere shot
and dotted with silver and gold, and
white brocaded stuffs are the
materials used for white evening bon
nets.
A new Paris fashion is that Of
wearing small bird fastened on the
left shoulder, and larger bird of the
same color to loop the drapery Of the
skirt.
The great variety of subdued and
brilliant tints in browns, blues, grays
and green's, leave it at the discretion
of each wearer to choose for herself
what will appear to the best adyan-
tage.

cal college in Philadelphia The

that, contrary to conjecture, she does
not become unclean, and lose her high
caste by crossing the sea. Arrange
ments have been made to enable her
to cook her own food, and thus escape
the penalty of losing caste by eating
from dishes that have been touched by
persons who are not of her caste. She

A very pretty device for banner in

tive and restorative. In the dried form
such salutary food is certainly within
the reach of everyone; and the superior
ity of it TO a fiery drink is almost self

that instead of flying TO alcohol, as
many people do when exhausted, they
might very well drink water. or they
might very well take food, and they
would be very much better without
the alcohol"
