The Panama Canal.

A. dispatch from Paris to the
London Shipping Gazette an
nounces that the recent annual gen
eral meeting Of the Panama Canal
Company offered a striking proof of
the absolute confidence placed BY
the share holders III nj. de Lesseps.
After the reading Of the report, a
shareholder from the provinces rose
to express doubts as to the posi-
bility Of the canal being completed
by the end Of 1883, as M. de Les
seps had affirmed it certainly would
be. According to this gentleman it
could not be finished before 1890,
and he was quite sure that every
shareholder would prefer unvar-
nished truth to gilded promises.
He concluded, however, by express
ing beforehand absolute and entire
confidence in the reply which M. de
Lesseps would, he felt sure, vouoh-
safe. In reply, NJ. de Lesseps de-
clared that he could not say that he
believed the canal would not be fin
ished in 1888, even to oblige the
shareholder who had just addressed
the meeting. NJ. DiDgler, the Chief
Engineer Of the works, who was on
the platform, had affirmed that it
couldo be conHn9ted year sooner !;
still it was betNk oleave vide mar
gin for the untiml seen, which had,
however, Seen &Studply provided for.
He could, thereto ?, once more req
peat, with perfecb confidence, that
the Panama CanEa you'd be opened
to the navisatio1pOt the world IL 'S6.
NJ. Dingler the Co, ppaay''s Chief En-
gineer, then rossee state tfatthe re-
port did not in any qs5ay represent
matters in too sangufae light. On
the contrary, it was, if anything, IN
der the mark; and he could affirm
with confidence that, unless some
thing of an unforeseen nature oc-
Cured, there was no doubt but that
the canal would be finished in 1888.
The report, and all the resolutions
BY the Board of Directors,
were then adopted with perfect una
nimity.
St. Landry democrat., 1884-08-30

what the planters are to gain by
adopting the Republican in opposl-
ton to the Democratic rule OF taxa
ton.
The Republicans want protection
with incidental revenue, and, In OF
der to reduce the surplus, they
would abolish revenue taxes and re-
tain protective taxes. Hence they
clamor for the abolition Of the whis-
Ky tax, which, had they entire con-
troll of the government, would short
ly be followed by a reduction Or
the total abolition Of the tax on sugar.
On the other hand, the Democrats
claim that there are other schedules
which need revision much more VI
gently than that relating to sugar.
The dictates Of self-interest must IN
the end lead the. sugar planter to
seek assistance from Democrats and
the revenue policy of the Democrat
ic party. In the hands of the Re
publicans, the sugar planters OF the
South will soon be sacrificed,
thrown overheard, in obedience to
the demands of the iron men, the
WOODEN manufacturers, and other
subsidized interests in the North.

How a Woman Puts on Her Shoes.
(From the Marysyille spectator,)

tEFOm the AlaISSNllle SpGctatof(
When a woman has a new pair
of shoes sent home she performs al
together different from man. She
never shoYes her toes into them and
yanks and hauls until she is red in
the face and out Of breath, and then
goes stamping and kicking around,
but pulls them on part way very
carefully, witches them off again to
take last look and see if she has
got the right one. pulls them on
again, looks at them dreamily, says
they are just right, then takes an
other look, stops suddenly to
smooth out the wrinkle, twists
around and surveys them sideways,
exclaims Mercy, how loose they
are p looks at them again square in
front, works her feet around SO they
won't hurt her quite so much, takes
them off, looks at the heels, the toe,
the bottom, then inside, puts them
on again, walks up and down the
room once or twice, remarks to her
better half that she won't have them
at any price, tits down the mirror
SO that she can see how they look,
turns in every possible direction,
and nearly dislocates her neck try
ing to see how they look from that
way, backs off, steps up again, takes
thirty or forty farewell looks, says
they make her feet look awful big
and will never do in the world, puts
them off and on two or three OF four
times more, asks her husband what
he thinks about It and pays no at
tention to what he says, goes
through it all again, and finally
says she will take them. 1t is a
very simple matter, indeed.

WATCH YOUR WORDS,


Keep awatch on your words. my darlings,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet, like bees fresh honey
Like the bees they have terrible stings;
They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine.
And brighten lonely life;
They can cut in the strife of anger,
Like an open, two-edged knife
Let them pass through ourlips unchallenged,
If their errand is true and kind
If they come to support the weary,
To comfort and help the blind;
If a bitter revengeful spirit
Prompt the words, let them be unsaid:
They may flash through brain likel lightning
Or fall on a heart like lead.
Keep them back if they're cold and cruel.
Under bar, and lock and seal:
The wounds they make, my darings
Are always slow to heal.
MAY peace guard yonr lives, and ever,
From the time of your early youth,
Nav the words that you daily utter
BE the words of beautiful truth.

of age, took his little sister Mary out for
walk on Austin avenue. They met a
young lady with whom Charles con-

Just before Charles and his little sister
reached home, the former said
"Now, Molly, don't you say a word to

that young lady. Do you hear, little

Value Of Slang.

Slang has this value, that it shows
how language grows. The English tongue
IS so vigorous that it seizes whatever 1t
needs for growth, Just as it did in its in
fancy. At that period direct limitations
OF sounds were constantly made words,
as the young vandals OF to-day use
"chink'' for money. Further on IN
the growth of the, tongue, it took from
ordinary speech the initiative words, and
converted them TO new uses, Just as you
say flicker" for watch, and put"
for advertisement The contraction
of words is another stage, as mob,
now perfectly English, was merely slang
for the Latin mobile, the tickle crowd,
as "cab" for 'cabriolet," and -furlong"
for 'furrowlong, the length of a turroW
and as mob is slang for mobility"
We make words from mems names IN
the same way. suppoae "boycottlng.
may be good English soon. Martinez,
now Indispensable, was the name OF
historic general, overstrct III discipline.
derrick" was famous hangman OF
the seventeenth century, in honor OF
whom the roughs nicknamed the gallows-
hosting apparatus; and these are two
only of scores of cases
Many of the words that are now re-
spectabilities of conversation were once
gutter children. "Drag," for instance,
was thieves word for carriage, fdrags-
men," the particular variety OF the
thieves who follow the carriage to cut
away the luggage from the rack behind.
But drag is good English now for pri-
vate coach. tKidnap' was thieves
slang for child-stealing that is to NAB
a kid. " Tie, = for cravat, was as much
the slang of low life as "choker" is now.
"Conundrumv and donkey and ''fun"
were all slang words, though not SO low.
Bore" was slang, and so were "wad-
dle' and 'tbother. st Nicholas.

Not the Correct Expression.

DR.. Mckenzie desires us to state that in
the interview had with him and published
in yesterdays SENTINEL, our reporter, who
took no notes of the conversation, did moi
reproduce his expression in regard to Ris-
don & Co. accurately. The Doctor says
that it was not his intention to charge the
manufacturers with a fraud in furnishing
the machinery, and that he did not use
that term. His expression was that he be-
lieved Risdon & Co. had been guilty Of
breach Of contract, and it is on this thai
suit for damages will probably be started
against them. We make this statement
cheerfully in justice to DR.. Mckenzie, who
we prefer to believe is less liable to mac
curacy than our bohemian guild nune
Also, we can handle this latter functionary
and lecture him as we please.

Choice Goods.

P. N. Hansen has received during the
last week a large and selected stock Of
fancy and staple groceries, consisting Of
Clough's uncovered hams and bacon,
choice mess pig pork, pickles put up in
pure wine vinegar, imported Swiss and
Limburger cheese, maple sugar and
syrups; also, a fine assortment OF lunch
goods; Thurber's celebrated New York
homeless Goldfish in small boxes for fam
lily use, Turbers's mixed bird seeds, the
finest assortment In the market. He
is also constantly receiving choice ranch
butter from the best diaries in the sur
rounding country. His motto is always
TO try and get the best goods to be had
in the market, regardless of cost price,
and sells them in most instances as low
as inferior goods are sold by competi'
tors. 1t is well worth the trouble for
any housekeeper to examine the goods
and compare quality and prices before
purchasing elsewhere. n

transferred it to Emanuel, who now resides
