would have very little to do with his
judgment of municipal affairs. AS it is
not in human nature for all to see alike,
we must of necessity have two tickets, but
let us have both made up with the one
purpose in view of getting the most capable
men to serve. And finally let no one by
carelessness or inattention allow the proper
time for action to pass and then pout or
sulk and blame his more energetic neigh
bors for stealing march on him and
electing ticket which he does not ap-
prove.

you that for whole days together we
scarcely are without a pen in our hand
for moment. We have written and
written until we can almost equal
short hand reporter in speed, and our
typo thinks we can discount Horace
Greeley inthe beauty and legibility Of our
chirography, but writing followed eight
days in week isn't quite the play spell
you imagine. The nerves and muscles
of our arm sometimes get 80 tired that it
is impossible to force them TO make
letter, and it appears as though it would
soon become utterly paralyzed. But we
ought to consider that yours is only
few lines, just few lines for our over
worked brains to construct, and our tired
hand to pen, and Of course we can do it
and do the same for the next half dozen
who call on the same errand, and 1t is no
tax on health tnd strength. Why, bless
you, it is play for us, while farming,
house work &c, is just driving our
friends to early graves. 1t is no tax on
physical or mental force to turn from
one thing to another with the utmost
rapidity, no chance for rest or quiet for
fourteen to eighteen long hours, nerves
keyed up to the highest tension with
scarcely a let up for four hundred days
in year. 1t is just play spell, in
vigorating muscles and brain, and we
are SO thriving under its healthful in
fluences that we are beginning seriously
to think we shall never die. We are
getting so robust and muscular and fat,
and such a stranger to aches and pains
that we see no reason why we should
not go on living forever.
But returning to our subject, we are
just spelling for local news, for per-
sonals, for advertising, for everything
that ought to 60 into local paper, but
let US beg Of you to write it down. We
can put it in shape ten times from your
manuscript where we can once from
your telling it. We urge it also for
moral reasons, or as Mark Twain says, to
economize profanity and allow il to be
TUNED to some other and better use, for
don't you see that it would save all me-
cessity for your coming around after the
paper is published and it is too late to
correct our error, and swearing at US till
we feel like calling for the rocks and
mountains to fall upon us and hide us
from your presence. Heaven knows we
feel bad enough about it, and would be
glad to climb into our den by any most
uncommon way to avoid meeting you,
but despite our running and lodging
and circuitous routes we 1nally gel
caught, have to stand fire, and take
your left handed blessings. But it is all
a waste of effort, for despite the profu'
fusion and length of your cuss words,
we know we shall do the same thing
right over again, so confirmed have we
become in our evil habits and it is a
wanton waste of valuable material to
shower so much abuse on us.
Now we could save all this if every
item or order was put in writing and not
trusted to our teacherous and worn out
memory. II you think of giving us any
thing to remember, don't do it, We
guarantee to forget it before you get ten
rods away. Don't trust us. We can't
be trusted, believe US and don't try it..

a SHAME ~ On last Monday
night the "Marlande Clarkess Acme
Dramatic Company" appeared in
Firemen's Hall.
With such high sounding titles
and extraordinary names, one was
justified in expecting something
new and entertaining in the way of
Dramatics.
The play was characterised by a
+ m'ngling of vulgar words aud
still more vulgar acting, SO much
that several of the ladies' present
left the Hall.
There appears to be an idea pre-
vailing among those wandering
Dramatic:tronpes that peoplelof int
nor towns cannot appreciate any
thing except that which is immoral
aud disgusting.
There Is no wonder that Drama
matte tronpes receive but little or
no patronage III interior towns.
Any company Of merit who viii!
have o mmon sense enough to put
upon the stage such plays as will
not cause a blush upon the cheeks
OF Il modest lady, and whose actors
will conduct themselves as they
should do, before ladies' aud gentle
men, would be sustained.
The people of Louisiana are fond
of the Drama, but they want no
vulgarity, nor any pampering to
the low aud base appetite of tramps
aud HoOdlums.
This Troupe with q high sounding
name was a disgrace and merits
only contempt and scorn.
The managers of the new hall
should not permit any more such
struggling wanderers to occupy its
stage again. Unless the hall can
I've rented to dramatists, who have
some respect for the decencies of
society, it had best not be opened
at oil.

Above low Danger

1t Is useless to deny the fact that
u great Hood is coming down upon
uS.
Every tributary to the Mississip-
ri il rising. The water at Cinciu-
natl on Thursday night attained a
height above 70 feet. being five feet
more than the rise in 1883. Then
it began to fall. At Louisville the
rise will probably reach two feet
above that OF last year.
At Vicksburgh the water is
above danger line. The cold wealth
er may stop the rains. If that be
so the Mississippi may safely trans
port the water to the Gulf. The
water at Thibodaux has risen 4 feet
Z inches during the week.
