VENETIAN WOMEN.

Being almost wholly uneducated, the
Venetian lady is naturally az inveterate
gossip. Her tongue wags eternally,
and can only wag about the small talk
of her native town, for all beyond is an
unknown world to her. Every afternoon
she goes to a reception of a friend, when
she is not herself receiving. At these
receptions there are twenty or thirty
women and one or two men. Each fresh
arrival is handed round to be kissed by
all the ladies, and when visitor goes
those who remain pick her to pieces as
crows do carrion. Strangers in
this they include even Italians who are
not Venetians-they regard with distrust
and dislike. They appear to be on
friendly terms with them, but behind
their backs they sheer and jeer at them.
No matter how long they may have re-
sided here, the line of demarkation is
kept up. As the Venetian ladies talk
patois among themselves, and many of
them are unable to talk anything else,
they never get over feeling of awkward
ness and constraint when with those
whose language is the purer italian.
When not either at home or visiting, the
ladies are seated on the Piazza of st.
Marc, when they meet the men of their
acquaintance and interchange notes.

NEWSPAPER "ORGANS."

IF the excellence of newspaper is not
always measured byits proftableness, it
is generally true that if it does not pay
its owner, it is valueless to the public.
Not all newspapers which make money
are good, for some succeed by catering
to the lowest tastes Of respectable peo-
pie, and to the prejudice, ignorance and
passion of the lowest class but as a
rule the successful journal pecuniarily is
he best journal. The reasons for this
are on the surface. The impecunious
newspaper cannot give its readers
promptly the news, and, still worse, it
cannot be independent. The political
journal that relies for support on drip
pings Of party favor or patronage is
poor affair, and, in the long run or
short run, comes to grief. The news
paper only becomes a real power when
it is able on the basis of pecuniary indie
pendence to free itself from all such
entanglements. An editor, who stands
with hat in hand, has therespect accorded
to any other beggar. Charles Dudley

Il RoMANT1o TOWN IN SIERRA.

The most romantic town on the coast
is Meadow Lake. 1t is close up to the
summit of the Sierras, near beautiful
lake. It grew up in one summer to
great town. Thousands of people put
thousands of dollars there. There was
plenty of goodrich gold ore-there, but
the gold had terrible liking for the
rock. and nobody could get it out. A
few stayed the first winter. The snow
fell twenty or thirty feet deep. The peo-
pie made tunnels from one house to the
other, and contrived to get through the
winter. The only way to get in Or out
was on snow shoes. The next spring
everybody ran away, and the town col
lapsed and fell down. Adventurous par
ties have every year tried to work the
ore, with very little success ruckoe

Il NEW SNOW PLOT.

A Kansas City inventor has patented
a snow pillow which promises to take the
place of the cumbersome scoops which
are attached to locomotives running on
Northern railroads during the winter.
It is an arrangement OF steam pipes
which can be heated at the will of the
engineer, melting the snow as the en-
CINE slowly advances. The form OF the
ordinary snow pillow is preserved so that
the snow in shallow cuts can be thrown
aside, as by the pillow now in use but
when deep drifts are encountered the
steam can be turned Oh the pipes and
the road cleared in far less time than it
can be done with shovels. Another
advantage in the new invention is that
it will not leave additional embankment
to catch a still greater depth of snow in
succeeding storms.

OUR JUVENILES.
Lille ,IOP.

1tttS quo
We had planned some great surprises,
Hugh and 1.
As the fearful days OF April
GIided by.
We had fashioned quaint May.baskets,
Great and small,
And with brown nuts from the garrett
Filled them all.
But the secret that was greatest,
No one knew,
Save the urchins in the garnet,
and Hugh.
Down the lane, quaint old cottage
Stood alone,
Just beyond our orchards crumbling
Wall of stone.
Here lived one poor, sad-eyed woman
And her boy; y
In their home there never entered
Smallest joy.
ice, the child, had never joined US
In our plays;
We almost forgot him living
Those bright days.
No one noticed him-poor babyl
Round his door,
Only dandelions and daisies,
By the score,
Raised their bright heads, smiled upon him,
Kissed his feet
He returned their love with kisses
Warm and sweet.
We had seen him kiss them often,
And we smiled
He was wiser far than We were,
Lonely child!
Yes, lie loved the fower-faces,
Small and bright;
This had led us to our secret
For May-night.
Hand in hand, down through the orchard
I and Hugh
Went for sweet arbutus blossoms,
Pink and white,
Hiding under leafy coverts
From the light
Laughingly we bore them homeward,
Through the lane;
Held them up to faces watching
'Gainst the pane.
But we whispered not our secret;
And at night
Crept down, softly, through the orchard,
Out of sight
Low down bent the apple-branches;
And a breeze
Kissed our foreheads as we hurried, laughing
Through the trees.
go" it whispered, "God be with you'll"
God was there.
Nearer than we ever thought Him,
Anywhere.
Something in the silence awed us,
flushed our words;
And we left the orchard, quiet
AS its birds.
Hand in hand we reached the cottage,
At the door
Left our May-blooms, came home faster
Than before.
This was years ago this Maytime,
Yet pray
may ne'er forget the lesson
OF that day.
For the kindness, so late coming,
Found poor Joe
Silent as his daisies, sleeping
Meath the snow;
And the blossoms we had brought him,
Glad and proud.
Lay all scattered and unnoticed
On shroud.

THE NEXT SENATOR.

The Shreveport Democrat reminds
the public that New Orleans has had
both Senators of this State for thirty
wears, and suggests that it is time the
country Parishes shall claim and OBJ
tain one of them. No doubt some in
terested individuals will affect to de-
plore this feeling, and will pretend
that it is evidence of hostility to the
City or jealousy. No such sentiment
enters into the matter. The country
Democrats cheerfully act with theparty
City in the, and concedo to the latter
a fair, and more than fair proportion
of the States honors. But they do not
admit that New Orleans has all the
material for the highest Offices, and
they propose that henceforth she shall
not absorb them all.
At the organization Of the last gov
eminent New Orleans did absorb them
all. She took or received the four
highest offices of the State-both SEN
ators, the Governor, and the Chief
Justice. She will retain the last
named, and one Senator for many
years to come-not till six years hence
does Gibson's term end-and there is
every reason why the country should
be allotted the other two highest Off
ces. Even then if the Governor shall
be selected from the country Parishes,
one of the Senators will be demanded
besides.
Why should New Orleans with its
warning factions, cliques, rings, and
perpetual strifes, have monopoly Of
the highest ofices' To the credit of
her democracy it must be said that
they have never advanced such claims,
and unless the country Parishes are
willing to admit that they have no
man fit to fill the senatorship, now is
the time for them to take care to Sc
cure it. And unless we are greatly
mistaken, such is the determination of
the party in the country Parishes
The, Shreveport Times echoes the ex-
preston of its neighbor in saying,
Zone Senator has already been elected
from New Orleans, and for that reason
Mr.. Jonas successor should come from
the country, irrespective of what Sec
ton Of the State the Governor is
chosen"

The Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Exposition.

We want our readers to read the
above heading, and remember it. No
part Of the United States is less known
and no part requires more publicity
than our State.
Crossed by two of the largest rivers
of the world, bounded on the South by
the Gulf Of Mexico, with seaports cap
able of accommodating the navies Of
the world, with millions of acres Of
timber, and millions of acres of the
most fertile lands, Louisiana is as
much Of an unknown country to very
great part of the world as the head wa
tiers Of the Amazon.
While our continent is girted with
bands of iron and the shrieks of loco
motives are echoed and rechoed from
ocean to ocean, the "whoa-h-o-aw of
the ox-driver controls yet the general
INSTRUMENTATION of the State. It
is therefore necessary that we should
go heart and soul into the cotton CEN
tennial. Let each one contribute what
he can in geological specimens, in ag-
ricultural products, in descriptions Of
timber lands and locations. Thou
sands of visitors will wonder that such
a country as ours should lay undevel-
oped, almost within sight Of the At
lantic, and almost within hearing of
the great centers of trade. Each indi-
vidual, each neighborhood and each
town is interested in the centennial.
We will gladly give all information
necessary to enquirers.
Let Rapides Parish take it's place at
the Cotton Centennial. 1t his always

take the second place.
