THE BEST LEARNING. The learning
which makes us acquainted with our
selves, with the faculties of the human
mind, with divine truth, which is plainly
revealed, with its power on the mind
and heart, with the eQncatenations of
cause and effect, and to understand our
everyday duty. which grows out of our
wants and the wants of those about us,
is learning of better quality than that
which only enables us to call things by
different names, without giving US a
knowledge of their qualities either for
good or evil.-EG.

A visitor to the old borough of Bed

to so many places in this country, asked
a native, whom he casually met, what

years ago London merchant endowed
a school there with thirteen acres of
London land, and this now supports a
first-class grammar school, CONNER

the inhabitants, of whatever degree
without discovering that he is in most

Of boots, which he purchased for the lady

Hylaud told a correspondent OF the New

follows:
"Under what circumstances did he buy
the pair OF boots? .-.
"'Oh, those boots l was SO ashamed
about them in court and SO angry that ]
was not properly questioned! This is how
he bought them. We had been walking
in the Bois. The ground was sloppy. In
returning home l shivered, and when he
asked what allied me, said my feet were
wet. Directly we came in be cried out
"Aiy darling Is chilled" He made such Il
fuss and called the servant to intuition
my boots aud pull them OF When they
were removed he made the girl rub my
feet before the fire. 1t was quite
droll, as he knew no French and she nc
English, aud ! was ashamed at being
treated so lovingly. Dinner was waiting
and our lady lodger was impatient for it'd
be served. But he insisted on 1t being
delayed. While the rubbing was going on
he examined my boots and stockings and
called them miserable flimsy things. lie
said l ought to be provided with cork
soled boots and thick worsted stockings,
and that he himself would buy them for
me. When he was going away, after din
ner, he returned to the subject and told me
that he could not bear the idea OF another
chill. We made an appointment to 60
next day to the Bon Marche, where he Sc
lected the articles in question and paid for
them" 80.
There was no escape for Biggar after that.

Here is an instance of good repartee !:
They were two solid citizens. One was
bald, but rejoiced in a fine luxuriant
beard. The other had a heavy growth
of hair on the head, but was very bald
as to his chin. The bald -clinned citi-
zen was very talkative individual
whose conversation was rapid and in
cessant. Meeting the bald-headed cit
izen one day in a company Of gentlemen
he opened fire on him, touching the
baroness of his sconce. What do you
suppose said he, in his rattling viva
cious way, what do you suppose, neigh
Dor, is the reason that you have no hair
on your head and SO much on your chin !?
"Well,n said the other, deliberately,
"scientists say that men who work with
their brains create such heat in the
scalp that the hair is worn off. "That
sounds like likely theory" chimed in
the loquaci0us citizen. Yes, it does"
returned the other, "and / think your
case is a striking illustration of its
probability. Now you have plenty OF
hair on your head, but none on your
chin, which just backs up the scientific
theory, because all your work is done
with your jaws-there's nothing doing
on top.n-Houston Post.

How Winn Parish was Carried
for McEnery.
Satchitoches Review.

4 gentleman who lives in Winn par
ish, and who is perfectly reliable, in
forms us that the mass meeting held at
Winfield on last Saturday, was a most
forcible illustration OF the fact. that the
friends of Governor McEnery are deter
mined to secure his nomination without
reference to the wish or will OF the
Democratic party.
He assured us that when the meeting
was called to order there were present
about $50 men, not more than 3o OF
whom were in favor OF McEnery.
After the meeting assembled Il Teso-
luton was offered, providing for the Sc
lection of delegates to the State Conven-
ton, who were to be instructed to vote
for Francis Z. Nichols, as first choice,
and against the administration first,
last and all the time.
An amendment to this resolution was
offered by an ardent supporter OF Gov
ernor McEnery, providing for the ap-
pointment of Il committee on resolu-
tions, and the members of the meeting
not suspecting the motive with which it
was offered, voted forit. The Chairman
appointed majority OF McEnery men
OH this committee, and they retired
about2 o'clock, and remained out till
nearly sundown. In the meantime, the

people, many of whom lived II great dis,
tance from town grew impatient and
left.
When the Committee returned there
was still majority against them and
the balance of what little daylight was
left, was consumed in political har-
angues while the people were waiting
for % chance to vote on the minority re-
port which had been submitted.
Notwithstanding frequent calls for
the question it was not put till all but
about 30 persons had become disgusted
and left the hall.
These were friends OF the Governor
who evidently understood the game,
and the report of the committee was at
last adopted by about 25 persons.
OF course we know nothing OF the
facts personally, but have every confi-
dence in our informant who has author
lied us to give his name it necessary.
Political success at such a price is
dearly bought.
