The New Orleans Times-Democrat of
the 10th inst, says "the discovery was
made yesterday Of large party of i'm
migrants, stranded in this city, in
state of the most utter restitution and
suffering. literally starving to DEATH
Where was the State Bureau Of Immi-
grafton when this discovery was made 7
Is it any wonder that the hordes OF i'm
migrants to the United States are in the
habit Of giving this State the .go-by,
when there is no provision to keep them
from starving and freezing to death on
their arrival : The paper we have
quoted says "they are all Woodworking
people, anxious to work, if they can Sc
cure anything to do" 1t is plain that
this State has no need for migrants ex-
cept such as can take care OF them
selves after they arrive, just as the old
residents do and the Bureau of Immi-
grafton is humbug, and should be
abolished.

Mark Twain ON Liberty"

Among the objects of interest in the
New York Pedestal Fund Art Loan Ex-
hibition, which was opened to the pub
lie Monday last, is an album made up of
original contributions from well known
artists, authors and public men. The
artists have given sketches, the authors
and public men autograph letters and
poems. The estimated worth of the al
bum is $1,000. In sending his contri-
button, Mark Twain wrote the following
characteristic letter, addressed to Mr..
F. Hopkinson Smith, the well-knOwn
artist and art-director of the exhibition.

four cents below market price. Then
his property was sold for taxes because
he didn't read the sheriff's sales. He
was arrested and fined eight dollars for
going hunting on Sunday, simply be-
cause he didn't know it was Sunday;
and he paid three hundred dollars for
a lot Of forged notes that had been ad-

cautioned not to negotiate them. he
then paid a big Irishman with foot on

ping into his old pet name for her.
But to his surprise, Cassie burst
into passion o. weeping, sobbing and
trembling so convulsively, that the
young man was frightened nearly out
of his wits.
"St. Christopher! what have done?'
he cried, bundling the little figure into
his arms and cuddling her as though
she were a baby. Hush dear! DR..
Calvert will take my ears off. Don't
cry so, my darling little sweet heart -
Here poor Cassie wrought up to the
highest pitch of nervousness pushed
his face away and exclaimed, rather
Historically:
'Put me down, Mr.. Linden! Miss
Fontanelle is the only woman to whom
you should use such laDguage!'
Then to be sure, Liuden's face was
study for a moment; but as he solved
the problem, he drew Cassie the closer
to him, al d explained softly, with an
exultant tenderness quivering through
his voice:
MISS Fontanelle would laugh at
that statement, Cassie She is to be
married next week to Mr.. Funbar,

And Cassie, my brave little girl, did
you think me villain to make love to
you all these months for nothing?
Why sweetheart, if you don't marry
me, Tll-hang myself
He didn't look much like it then,
with his hadsome, laughing eyes and
flushed face.
Cassie hid. her face upon his shoul-

The Republican Party Must Go.

When the Republicans passed the
Scott law it was claimed that it would
close nearly all the saloons it the State,
and thus act as a prohibitory measure.
Tnls however, has not been the case.
But few drinking places have been
closed, while great number of new
drinking places have been opened.
As temperance enactment, therefore,
the Scott law has been miserable
failure, and is so acknowledged by
friend and foe. But the Republicans
privately say that If they carry the
next Legislature the work of ''reform"
shall go on, and the tax will be in
creased from 5000 to $500 or even
$1,000, so that the saloons will be
taxed out Of existence. This scheme
they will not publicly avow, as they
know it will destroy every hope of sue
cess.
The Republican party has lived out
its days of usefulness. 1t will hereaf.
ter be known as the prohibition party,
not that the leaders care anything
about temperance, or will practice
what they preach, but they wish to re-
tain power, and by going over to the
temperance organization, and becom-
ing more, bitter vindictive and fanati-
cal than the Prohibitlonist ever were,
they entertain hope that they will
still feed at the public crib. The Re
publican party is on its last legs. Its
career will soon be over, and the places
that have known it will soon know it
no more forever.

Saved from seasickness.


He was young man with $40
suit of clothes on, and he had made
arrangements to take his girl and her
mother down to Putin Bay. He left
them on the boat while he ran up
town to get soCe cigars, and scarcely
had he disappeared when a man with
a hatchet face and a red goatee ap-
proachei the ladies' and inquired of
the mother:
Going down to the Bay?'
"Yes, sir.
Never seasick in gale?'
Gale! Is it going to blowY' she
asked in alarm.
Flags up and that means wind,
you know. Madam, the-the young
man who just left here s-you know
he loves your charming daughter?"
He waits upon her, sir"
"Ah! exactly. If you want him for
a son-in-law don't you go on this
trip"
"Sir!"
"l'm telling you honest, madam.
Your daughter will be seasick first.
She will call for lemon, and some
wine, and some pickles, and she will
sigh and groan, and her hair will
come down, and her bows skew around,
and IN halt an hour you wont know
her. She'll be a faded Aower-a
crushed blossom. The young man
won't know whether it is his darling
or bundle OF rumpled muslin y
Dear me! but I'm alarmed"
"And then you'll begin to hate the
thought of fried pork and baked po-
tatoes ana rib roasts, and ten minutes
later you'll thump down on sofa and
clutch and cling and groan and Ia
ment."
But George will be kind to US"
Madam, George will have plenty
of business on hand. Chaps with his
set Of ears and full face are apt to be
very sick. Before he can get a
lemon for Melvina or pickle for you,
he'll flop down and call himself names
and wonder how he was ever struck
on Melvina, or why he wanted you for
mother-in- law. He'll heave up and
he'll heave down, and he'll wish you
and MelVina in Halifax and himself in
Mexico, and the upshot will be no
wedding, no cards, no cottage with a
clematis trailing over the front door.
Madame, | am stranger to you, but
| warn you from a heart filed with
the milk of human kindness. The
only woman | ever loved went with
me on seasick excursion. My love
was turned to gall, and | gave her the
shake.
He then left. In three minutes
mother and daughter were on the
wharf. In three more they were two
blocks away, and as they met George
and turned him back his countenance
had the color of boiler iron and his
voice betrayed a cruel determination
as he said
ell see you on the car, and then III
find and lick that man if he weighs
