OUR NEW ORLEANS LETTER.

A Compiacent Boss-The Overaow-A Use.
fnl Citizen Dying-Justice Traycstied-
Mixed Politics.
NEW ORLEANS April 4. 1854.
EDITon CHrEr:
If John Fitzpatrick did not como out "
the primaries a smiling happy '1boss," who
did? The champion of the third ward sur
veys New Orleans as a father does his
household, and the little fellows who got up
opposition booms he looks down upon as
John Sullivan would gaze upon the last vic
tim whom boisterous hackers had per-
suaded to enter the prize ring. There has
been some excitement in consequence;
white paper has been wasted in protests
and appeals to respectable voters for bet
ter ticket. Respectable is term which
the dudes i'll politics apply to themselves;
those nice people who sit in Office chairs or
behind counters, and let the fremen and
the ward boys make up the entire ma
chinery known to American politics-mass
meetings, caucuses, conventions. They ex-
pect the boys who chop all the wood, bring
all the timber to build the party mansions,
to beg them to come and take them. 1t is
needless to say that the boys do not and
will not do any such ridiculous thing. 1t
is the early bird that catches the worm"
and the early riser in the political club
room who will have the best chance to sway
the destinies of a free people. Autocracies
and directories are not popular. There is
enough of dissatisfaction and opposition if
it could be united, engineered and directed
as good general would an army, to vote
"Boss John down and out, but the trou-
BILE is the opposition are all raw militia in
the political sense, have too many points to
attack, no concert of action, and the gen.
eralship and the regular troops of Democ-
raoy are with John. It is suggested that
the business men close up their places of
business and walk out to the polls on cleo
ton day This indicates that the election
is to be attended to in q business way.
Levee news from the country has lost its
novelty. Taking it for granted that all
who are not under water soon will be, one
gets up to read the morning paper disap-
pointed that few people in the Louisiana
delta are yet on dry land. The Congress
men have little basis to appeal for an ex-
traordiuary appropriation of government
relief funds, while people persist in their
refusal to be drowned and float away. The
first appropriation will be promptly ex-
hausted, possibly there may be second
one.
The Sanitary Director of the Auxiliary
Sanitary Association, DIR. w. FL. Watkins,
has been very ill for about two weeks and
his recovery despaired of. His labors for
this city, and the pertinent suggestions he
has made to the public from time to time,
entitle him to the warmest sympathies of
his fellow citizens. New Orleans can not
we'll lose one of his energy and devotion to
the cause of public sanitation.
The diminished number of large fires has
been noteworthy the past two weeks, and
the department ia in its normal condition.
The pistol goes off with remarkable sud
denness in impetuous hands, and if there is
man within range he is bound to fall.
This is the suggestive thought which is

Susan B. Anthony.

| The Great Agitator of Woman's Right to
| be Equal with Man at the Ballet Box.
| At the foot of the Green Mountains,
| South Adams, Mass, in 1920, was born this
woman who has SO faithfully and devotedly
championed the franchise of her sex at the
ballot box. Her ingress into the ranks of
the Woman's Rights cause emanated from
her early experience as a school teacher, her
compensation being but So a month, while
men received for the same service from $24
to $40. After fifteen years of the closest
meagre salary, while, had she received equal
compensation for equal service her savings
would have aggregated at least $1,000. The
contrast aroused her conceptions of injus-
tice, and from 1862 she has been one of the
leading spirits in every Women's Rights
convention held in America; was all these
years, and still is, the secretary of the
National Association.
A great many people suppose that s'wom-
ans rights is an eccentric 'hobby,' with
Miss Anthony. Not SO. From 1867 to 1866
she was an ardent worker with Wendell
Phillips and Lloyd Garrison in the anti
slavery cause, and continued to advocate
freedom for the Negro until the emancipa-
ton edict gave them their liberty. She is
also great temperance worker, and in
fact, wherever there is cause in which
justice and the good of all humanity is in
yolved, the voice, the heart and sympathies
of Susan 3. Anthony are foremost in the
contest
Miss Anthony has fine figure and large,
well-shaped head. The world calls her
cross-grained and angular. She has in
deed her peculiar ways, but they are only
exterior. Her nature is broad, generous
and sympathetic one, though she never
weeps or sentimentalizes. Our likeness
well portrays the strong character OF Miss
Anthony, AID our readers can rely upon its
being q faithful reproduction of al excel
lent photograph very lately taken.

YOUNG HEARTS,


What though the years are flying fast,
And silver sprinkles through the hair.
And crow s-feet come, and wrinkles last,
In spite of pride's most gentle care;
That with reluctance We confess,
And growing old escape the tongue?
So plain q truth should not distress:
TITS nothing if the heart be young.
That we have errors to regret
Ii but the common lot of all;
There's something to be lived for yet,
SO struggle on, whate'e r befail.
IT'S useless that above the past
The dirges of remorse are rung;
Well fight old Time unto the last,
And triumph while the heart is young.
While life exists the light of hope
Should never be obscured by gloom,
But brighten all our horoscope
Until our footsteps touch the tomb.
The oldest still have truths to learn,
So faith should never be unstrung;
Our little lamps will cheerily burn
As long as e'er the heart is young.
And how shall hearts be kept in green
When cheeks ara sunk and eyes are dim,
When age brings on the days of spleen,
And mensory cToTns a funeral hymn?
By finding means of doing good;
by soothing souls with sorrow stung,
Thus age and death are long withstood,
And thus our hearts kept ever young,
Lake Charles Commercial

DR.. Sophus Tromholt thinks that the
long -mooted question of the height above
the earth at which the aurora borealis ap-
pears will soon cease to be one of the I'M
solved problems Of nature. 1t is evident
that aurorae, like clouds, float through a
certain thickness of the atmosphere, and
only approximate estimates can be made
of their usual altitude. DR.. Tromholt has
calculated the heights of the lower edges of
eighteen aurorae from measurements of
their position made simultaneously at two
stations of Northern Europe about sixty
six miles apart. His results range from
forty-seven to little over 100 miles, the
average being seventy miles. He admits
the possibility that aurorae may sometimes
very closely approach the earth's surface,
but states that he has never seen any por-
ton of one below the clouds, although he
has long watched for such an appearance.

EASTER TIME.

April skies 80 clear and blue,
And April flowers of many hue,
And singing birds and fresh green grass
Bring happy thoughts as Lenten days pass --
Of the blessed Easter-time.
For US our Savior was crucifed,
Was crowned with thorns and for us died.
Then rose from the tomb. robed in glory bright
Growing with halo of sacred light
That blessed Easter-time.
So earth and sky and creatures too,
Unite to give him homage due;
The purest and best of heart and mind,
And fairest Of flowers with reverence twined
For the blessed Easter time.

Among the exiles in Eastern Siberia
the following custom prevails: Ii II
man wishes To get married he applies
TO the Governor, who forthwith selects
one of the female prisoners. with
whom the candidate for holy malri.
mony is expected to keep company
for two or three days, If at the con
clusion Of this term he male party
declares to the Governor that he lady
selected is not to his mind, he receives
twenty-five blows with stick. and
another bride is chosen for him-and
so on. The same course is adopted
with the female prisoners who are in
search Of husbands, These matches
are termed official marriages" or the
Governors marriages" and are not
followed by any religious ceremony.
