A Praiseworthy Suggestion.

DONALDsONvILLE, La, April 2, 1888.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Dear SRI am glad to see that Gov.
McEnery has appointed a committee of
gentlemen in our parish for the purpose of
soliciting aid to make a nuch-needeti addi-
ton to the Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
It is we'll known fact that this Hospital
receives and cares for tho destitute sick of
Louisiana, and it is enlinently proper that
every parish should respond promptly to the
Governors appeal in behalf Of this noble
institution. feel certain that our parish is
ready and willing to put in practice the
gospel OF good works by "a generous offer
ing in money in answer to this appeal. The
committee will call upon all those who are
able to give largely of their means, Let
me make q suggestion: Would it not be
we'll for every church and congregation in
the parish, white and colored ai1ko, to take
up collection to be handed to the commit
tee? The coored people arc largely beue
fitted by the Charity Hospital, and it seems
to me that every colored preacher would
take pride in securing an offering from
his congregation. Many o mickle makes
a nlucke.' Respectfully yours,
,

We have often heard it said that those

place To an extent which will open the eyes
of the youth of less favored communities
The noted Higbie- Vaughn case of Flatbush,
in which the bride Of mock marriage at
church sociable claims to be really welded
TO her husband, was the occasion OF these
tender confessions. The defense, in the
words OF one Of the lawyers, attempted to
show that "the lips of the Plaintiff were as
flee as the town pump" In order To sus-
tain this point, various of the young men of
Flatbush were summoned as witnesses, and
the description given Of the kissing priv.

The plaintiff in the case testified that he
had seen four OF HE male friends kiss his
alleged bride, and was then led to tell of his
dalliance in the hugging and kissing line
with other young ladies. His testimony
was supported by similar disclosures by his
companions
The defense appears to have measurably
established its pointof resemblance between
the attractive mouth of the fair plaintiff and
that Of the town pump; but its bolt shot
beyond the mark and proved the same free.

other bells Of Flatbush who were relied

disclosures do not occasion a revolt among
the defendants witnesses, there is no reli

forced in open Court to relate their good
