No figures from West Baton Rouge,
Livingston and Washington have been
reported up to the time we 60 to press,
but it is conceded shat Gen. Lewis has
carried those parishes without serious
opposition, us he did all the others in the
district. The majority in st. Tammany,
as given above, is estimated by the local
paper.
1t may be safely assumed that Gen.
Lewis has beeu elected hg 5000 majority,
which is 5000 greater thaa chat received
by Major Heron last November.
Gen. Thos. c. Anderson of st. Landry,
who had announced himself an indepen-
dent candidate, withdrew from the con-
test, and the only effort put forth in
behalf of Mr.. Traegcr was the issuance
of brief address from one Of the Repub-
lican district committees recommending
the voters of that party to cast their
ballots for him. Virtually, Gen. Lewis
had a clear field, and his success was a
foregone conclusion. Had Gen. Amber
son decided to make the run and conduct
vigorous campaign, the figures given
above would undoubtedly have presented
a different appearance. We do not claim
that he would have been elected-on the
face Of the returns, at all evcnts-but he
would Gave pollcd a heavy vote, and we
understand that the Democratic caudi-

son would carry St. Landry if be re-

THE WORK YOUNG GIRLS NIGHT DO.

| wish it were in my power to per-
suade young girls to wonder what they
shall do to earn their living, that it is
really better to choose some business
that is in the line OF woman's natural
work There is great repugnance at
the thought of being servant, but a
girl is no less servant to the man who
owns the shop where she stands all day
behind the counter than she is where
she waits upon the table or cooks the
dinner in pleasant house; and to my
mind there would not be a minute s
question between the two ways of going
out to service. The wages are better,
the home is better, the freedom and
liberty are double in one what they are
in the other. If, instead of the sham
service that is given by ignorant and
really Over-paid servants to day, sensible
New England girls who are anxious to
be taking care of themselves and earn
ing good wages would fit themselves at
the cooking schools, or any way they
found available, they would not long
wait for employment and would be
valued immensely by their employers.
When one realizes how hard it is to find
good women for every kind of work in
onr houses, and what prices many rich
people are more than willing to pay if
they can be we'll suited, it is a wonder
more girls are not ready to seize the
chances. 1t is because such work has
been almost always 30 carelessly and
badly done, that it has fallen into dis
repute, and the doers of it have taken
such low rank. Nobody takes the
trouble to fit herself properly, but women
trust to being taught and finding out
their duties after they assume such posi-
tons, not bcfore.-[Sara o. Jewett in
Boston Congregationalist.

FLOWERS AT THE THEATER.

Not rlahy weeks ago rich Russian
adnlrar gave carte blanche order at
lianst r-Hardduin's, in the Boulevard
Ges C;lpucines, for a basket of flowers to
be seIt to Madame Anna Judic, at the
Varieties Theater. When the beautiful
young women of this famous fieurist
had prepared the basket it was placed
IL the front window, and everybody who
went that way stayed their steps to
admire it. Among the number was Mr..
Packer, an American, who, remember
ing that the next day was the annver-
sary of the birth of his daughter, entered
the boutique and ordered a precisely
similar one to be sent to his house Oh
the morrow. 1t cost him 900 francs,
or 200 more than the Prince paid, but
that was simply because the rich, fra
grant flowers which the basket held
were getting scarce and Hanser Harduin
had to skirmish around to get enough.
1t Is, however, not customary in Paris
for fathers to send their daughters such
costly corbeille, the most magnificent
and expensive generally going to some
famous and fast actress. | am assured
that JuG c is the most popular artistic
among those who like to thus spend
their money. There is not an evening
in the week during the theatrical season
when "Mamselle Nitouche," "Ninche"
or whatever you choose to call her, does
not receive all the way from dozen
bouquets and baskets upwards. They
come high, but the boys will send them.
Mdlle. Jennie Granier, whose lover is
young Prince Murat, comes next in
popular estimation, judging from the
Tourists position. There is quite a
rivalry between the two, and were it
not for the fact that Anna Judic boldly
asks her lovers and admirers to send
her flowers Granier would be at the
top. Very few flowers, comparatively
speaking, are sent to the Comedie Fran
caise or to the Grand Opera. But the
artistes OF the Opera Comique are quite
popular in this respect, and the two
singers OF the "Salle Favart'' that are
most often remembered are Mdlles.
Marie Van Zandt and Emma Nevada,
both Americans. When Nevada made
her debut in La Perle du Bresil there
were so many bouquets and baskets
sent to her loge that she had hardly
room to dress in. That night her father
sent them to his apartments in truck
wagon and the next morning, when on
my way out to the farm of Pre-Catelan
for glass of fresh milk, l saw enough
shrubs and flowers upon their balcony
to stock a good-sized garden.

The One Place of all Others Where the
init is Lost.

There is no room for extremists in Il
crowd. The dude will he ground be-
tween the upper and neither milestone.
In fact, those about him are likely to
take a secret pleasure in adding to his
discontinue. The crowd has keen
eye for sham which fares particularly i'll
when it takes the shape OF personal pre-
tension. There must he Il feeling that
"'you are one OF US to secure good ia
vor. People do not congregate in vast
numbers to admire others, but to have
Il good time themselves They are
generally willing to do the fair thing,
but want no quitting on airs" 1t re-
quires room to do that with any degree
OF comfort to the operator. He must be
out of ear-shot OF the remarks which
convey to him the sense of the failure
he is making 1t is singular fact that
no amount OF experience, inherited or
personal, is sufficient to disabuse many
people of the idea that they can create
false impressions as to their own impor
tance on the beholder. For every word
of admiration fiashily dressed or visibly
consequential person elicits, he gets Il
thousand contemptuous recognitions as
an ass-a fact he remains perennially
impervius to. The strivings and projects
OF the swell constantly miscarry and he
knows it not-except when he is jostled
in crowd. He goes through the world
in state of perpetual ignorance as to
his transparency.
The crowd is a great leveler, and the
member of it who does not do his own
leveling has it done for him in manner
which is not at all pleasant. Large
and happy aggregations of people, like
civilization itself, are based upon the
spirit of mutual concession. The savage
who does not know how to yield in
little things wants all out doors to live
and have his being in. And what is the
arrogant, bumptious person, however
civilized his exterior may he, who has
no consideration for others, but a relic
of barbarism? The kindly feeling which
prompts the doing of small favor, at
some slight Inconvenience even to self,
it is which makes the happy crowd pos
sible. The fabrication OF good will,
sympathy and small helpfulness is the
grand secret which makes the social
machinery move well. Each man must
allow a little margin to others, or there
can be no general elasticity to prevent
things from being broken upon each
other. He must round off the slS,rp
corners, or there will he constant pune
lures and raspings.

SOME WONDERFUL BUSTLES.

The ingenuity OF the young lady Of the
day isn't fully appreciated.
Monday there was a big excursion
from the collar shops to Saratoga.
Hundreds of Troy's pretty young ladies
went to Saratoga.
The sky threatened rain.
The young ladies wore bustles.
Perhaps there was no connection be-
tween the treatment weather and the
bustles-and perhaps there was.
Shortly after the eXcursiOnists reached
Saratoga the rain began to pour. Many
OF the young ladies with their escorts
were seated in the parlor OF hotel when
the rain began to fall. The prospect
was dismal as viewed from the hotel
windows. Within it seemed sad too.
The airy and tasty dresses OF the ex-
cursionists must be spoiled by venture
upon the street Umbrellas were few
and far between, and there seemed to
be a dearth of outside coverings.
But witness the ingenuity of the young
ladies' of the day.
As if by preconcerted action the young
ladies' arose one after the other and ldt
the parlor.
/ In few minutes they returned.
All wore gossamer cloaks.
But the bustles were gone.-[Troy

EARNING AND SAVING.

Whoa. Hold your horses! Not so
fast, young man. Can you afford that
gay and costly turnout? Aren't you
wasting time and money on personal
adornment and pleasure, which were
better spent at work and in an interest
account? Aren't you becoming extrava-
CANT, not to say idle and dissipated ?
You think because the flyers were raised
and are kept on the place at no cost to
you and because you owe nothing and
do not exceed your allowance or wages,
that it is nobody's business what you
do with time or money.
Perhaps not. But the community to
which we all belong is interested in its
members, especially in its young men.
For the general good as well as their
own good, We want them to form habits
of thrift. 1t is thus only that the whole
can prosper. Thus only can there be a
strong class to help the weak and un-
fortunate. The habit of spending all
and saving nothing is one OF unthrift,
and the young spendthrift is first cousin
to the fools who are forever getting
deeper into debt. So long as his health
and friends remain and no extra burdens
rest ON him, he will be happy. But
his rainy day will come and find him
with no shelter against the storm and
no friends to fall back on. His outlook
is even worse than that of chronic
debtors; for they now and then find the
property they could not pay for by ordi-
nary methods contains hidden bonanza.
But for the spendthrift, there is no such
hope.
Ambition for wealth is common; the
self-denial that will pay its cost is rare
In most cases riches grow slowly and
only by small economies and savings.
1t is the first thousand dollars saved
that tell the story Not that this amount
is very important; it is the self-denial
that grows by practice into habit that
makes this amount significant and all
the rest of a fortune comparatively easy.
The young man ignorant of this, lacks
the first qualification for success. The
young man knowing this but not having
the nerve to begin econOmizing and
saving now by Titles, who is bound to
have a good time spending on himself
the little or much he has every year,
and TO wait for big boom or, dead
mems shoes to make him rich, will be
likely to fail of the boom and the shoes
when he has sucked life dry and is
most helpless himself and most in need
of others help. Frugality is not mean
ness. 1t is the dimes that make the
dollars. 1t is only by the rounds, not
by bound we ascend the ladder OF
fortune.

In default of squad drill, the Annam-
ese recruits are put through a variety
of unpleasant experiences designed to
test their courage. Physical courage
and endurance are supposed to be the
primary requisites of a soldier, and,
after that, the knowledge of how to load
and let off a gun. 1t is pleasantly as
sumed by the military officers that the
men chosen for the army are the worst
of the population. The mandarins are
supposed to keep the recruits quiet by
drafting all their mauvais sujets into the
annual levy. There is, accordingly, the
less conjunction in putting them
through the prescribed tests. The first
of these is to assault the raw recruit
violently with saber. The saber was
a wooden one, certainly, but the drill
sergeant hits hard and knows from a
personal experience where it hurts the
most. Operations commence on the
back settlements first and end with
blows on the head The recruit who
stands battering about the head for a
matter OF five minutes without uttering
groan or tiinching, even involuntarily,
is hailed as finished soldier and excused
further drill" To shrink or even to
moan when beaten on the head with a
wooden saber is considered unpardon-
able, and the victim is noted down as
an "ordinary" soldier instead of an
liable bodied one. But the recrui,
who cries out when he is hit on the
body, or confesses by wriggle that the
exercise is painful, is reported for pun
ishment and then put through new
course of instruction.-[St. James Ga
Zette.
