TIE WIEEs OF ooAcHxrs

It IS an old saying, that 'misfortu never come singly," and it is a fact { t Is often verified, for the simple req
 that when a poor devil starts down
 hill of misfortune, he generally goeI
 the bottom before he can stop. Th
 are other things that go by fits |
 starts besides misfortunes. The fail
 of great financial institution. ni
 caEtile or manufacturing establi
 ment generally causes others Of it's kI
 to follow suit. It is also common, wi
 a loving young man and woman
 married, for others in the same nei
 borhood to go ami do likewise. J
 now 1t has become the fashion in
 east for rich young ladies to ma
 theIr fathers coachman. Such IT
 riages have occasionally taken pI
 during the past, but it never was |,
 ried to the extent that it has been C
 Ing the past few weeks. More thal
 dozen such marriages having tin
 place III New York, Philadelphia |
 Baltimore within the time above nal,
 and the mania has spread to Ohiod
 Missouri.
 Now there must be some reasoror these i'll mated marriages. Is the llt with the young ladies, their parer or the nice young men? We are dhe opinion that the parents are to blas in most eases. They begin by puttinalse and extravagant ideaS into the hes of ths;- daughters. They arssaug' ax- t,avagance rather ,l-eu s,t.- idleness rather than inIus teyI- ishness rather than wisdom. They are told that they must setthtir caps for rich young gentlemen who must bring as many dollars the daughter possesses. They for.e that the young man of good commo, pnse, with sound business ideaSand htts of economy, generally Outsirip tl, nch young man who has been endowe with a fortune, in the race to distinctic and fame, and that in very many case the former proves the most desirable the two. The parents Of rich yOungnen are also too prone tO tive tLair yons Ialse educations, and it Is too ofts the ease that instead of making men otheir sons they become dudes, or the isoci- ltes of dudes. Instead oi settlingiown .n life when they reach the prope age they haze acquired habits that uolly inht them for respectable ocIal fife. Instead of seeking tn so- 'iety of nice young ladies the hre 'ff to Europe or spending theIr tine in dleness and debauchery, whil the 'oung ladies are left alone at hore. Is { strange then that rich younsladies marry their fathers coachmen! These 'oung ladies are told when they re aG- nitted into society that they mus .ook ut for husband, and that if they pass heir twentieth year, without makiL. an they are in danger. and thlt if hey reach their twenty-ffth year, with 10 better result, they are little better han outcasts from society. Such false eaching results in forcing young hdies eyonds reasonable bounds of nolesty nd good breeding. and makes .hem orward, thOuRhtless women, wholly un- t to be companions of the better class f young men. At last, after years of illure from their parents standpoint, hey find themselves cut off from the 'ciety of desirable young men, and it is Ither their fathers coachman, or single and some Of them choose le former.

IS his letter 10 ex-Senator Thurman Grover Cleveland says: Let me impress upon the people that the issue involved in the impending canvass is the estab- lishment of pure and honest admins tration of the government. Let ME show them the way to this, and warn them against the cunniDgly designed effort to lead them into other paths of irrelevant discussIon." What egotisml "Let me show thisF' We cannot help but feel sorry for that purest of all Democrats-Allan c. Thurmsn-who was compelled to read the drivel of such a man to citizens of his own town. Had the Democrats nominated Allan G. Thurman they might have elected him. and he would have been an honor to them. A President hSs never yet been moulded from such clay as Grover Cleve- land, nor do we believe one ever will be.

PRESIDENT DIAZs POLICY.

Word is given out that General Diaz's policy includes many important changes; liberal tariff law; the abolishment of the zona libro and the abolition of the custom house force as near as possible.
 It is stated that San Francisco parties recently had an interview with General Disz, who gave them to understand that most radical reductions would be made on articles of common utility, which the present high tariff practically excludes from importation to Mexico. It is the intention of Gen. Diaz to present law modifying the fiscal system. Among other things it is proposed to abolish the state custom-house service, the ma ioriiy of the several states having SO voted; to establish system of national banks like our own; and to levy an inter- nal-revenue tax to take the place of the abolished taxation upon fermented and spirituOus liquors. His influence has also been largely felt in bringing about the new postal convention, by which letters are to pass through both countries at the domestic rate of our own.
 Ii Is high time some master spirit ap- peared in Mexico, who could formulate a revenue law containing few grams of common sense. There is no civilized country under the sun that has such unjust and consequently imperative revenue laws as Mexico. The peddler who sells a yard of mante must pay a special tax of five cents yard. and if be makes lapse Is required opay penalty of SlOO; but the rancher who owns IOO- GOO acres of land, and cattle on a thous- and hills IS not required to pay one red cent.
 We trust General Diaz will Go his ut most to amend the laws ot that country. It would not only be of great benefit to the people of that country. but would enable our merchants along the border to extend their trade into Mexico which would be to the mutual benefit Of both countries

"BKDs of a feather do flock to, gether" most of the time. Henry Ward Beecher has for long time been look ing for some eongenial soul, and after a full investigation he has satisfied himself that Grover Cleveland Is in every way worthy of his confidence and support. Those who read the proceedings Of the Beecher-Tilton trial, will not, for mo- meut, doubt that he has chosen an i.s- sociate in every way his moral equal. But if every male citizen ofthe age of fifty, in the State of New York, had have snnk to the level of Beecher and Cleve- land, what Q social record the Empire State would present. 4 more deplOr- able social condition could not he Im- egined.

GROVER CLEVELAND wrote to Allan G. Thurman: They (the people, are tired. l think, of a rule So long continued that it has bred and fos.ered class standing between them and their political action, and whose interests in affairs end with partisan zeal and the advancement of personal advantage" If the Republican rule ends there (which it does not }, there is no question but there E where the Democrats would begin. Partisan zeal ir the old-moss back party is kept up by the hope of political advancement and personal advantage. It IS the offices they desire, and the last truth the late George William Curtis uttered was Tn the Republican convention at Chicago. when he said: "The Democratic party is a party of spoils; it is hungry anl very thirsty"

ART.-There is to be a grand
competitive contest among portrait
painters, to be decided in the New
Orleans Exposition, next winter.
About 90 portrait painters have
entered the lists for the premiums,
of which there will be three.
All r to paint, from life, the
portrait OF some distinguished in
dividnal. 1t is probable that Gro
yer Cleveland or Vanderbilt will be
the person selected, at a meeting
of the competitors in Il short time
The works will be commenced
very soon thereafter.
All the portraits will be on exhi.
bition, iu the Worlds Exposition,
in New Orleans.
Our former citizen. Woodford
Sanders, a native of lower Lafour-
cue, Will De one OF n contestants,
and We predict that his work will
win one of the prizes.
He has painted several portraits
ia Thibodaux, among which is one
of ex- Mayor, 81. W. Tabor, which
have given great satisfaction and
are excellent representations of the
originals.
That of Mr.. Tabor looks so natu.
raj that one feels like speaking to
it and receiving a reply.
The SENTINEL trusts that the
painter of Lafourche may prove
the winner in this great trial Of
skill in Art.
