DoNA1DsoNv1LIE LOUISIANA. SATURDAY OCTOBER Il, 1884
FOUR MILES AHEAD.

With hopes and with fears we sent them forth,
And they wintered there in the frozen North
Two winters they spent in the Arctic zone,
Where slowly they perished, and one by one;
But surely we ought to be well content,
As towards the pole our explorers went
ii And they marked the exploration line
Four miles ahead.
o! but the record is wondrous fine,
With nineteen dead.
How many iB that to the mile2 Hold on
The record is made and the work is DONE
Though most of them perished along the track,
We ought to be thankful that six came back.
Of course we must count upon toll and pain;
But think of the record and think of the gain!
We have passed beyond the British mark,
-Four mics ahead!
And here and yonder are cold and stark
Our nineteen dead.
Where is the man who made the mark?
Turn over the leaf-that page is dark.
He made it--thats glory enough for him.
Though cold is his flesh and his eyes are dim.
Some lives must be offered for such gain.
And think on our right to be proud and vain.
He has planted our flag on the northward
track
Four miles ahead!
Well, let us be thankful that six came
back,
And God help the dead!

Mr.. Marion Crawford, the novelist, tells
a characteristic story about Carlyle, which,
he observes impartially, may be true. It
was at a dinner party, and Carlyle sat
silent listening to the talk of lesser men.
A young politician was talking theory to a
beefy old Conservative vino despised youth
and reason in an equal degree. "The Brit
ish people, SIR" said he of the beef: I" can
afford to laugh at theories.'' Sir,'' said
Carlyle, speaking for the first time during
dinner, 's the French nobility of hundred
years ago said they could afford to laugh at
theories. Then came man and wrote a
book called ssThe Social Contract" This
man was Jean Jacques Rousseau, and his
book was a theory and nothing but a
theory. The mobiles could laugh at his
theory, but their skins went to bind the
second edition of his book after whicf
tremendous sentence the old sage seems tc
have relapsed into silence. The allusion
of course, was to the famous tannery al
Mendoa.

James Payn, the noye!eIist, says: at
was the custom with a very respectable
firm of publishers with whom I did bust
ness, to pay my checks to the names of my
immortal works instead Of to myself; aad
since it suited their convenience so to do, I
never complained of it, though Is some
times put me in rather false position
when I presented my demands in person,
as for example in the case of the Family
Scapegrace.' When I came for the pro-
ceeds of Found Dead it was too much
for the sense of {professionaD propriety of
the bankers clerk who grave1y observed.
It IS very fortunate, sir, that this check is
not payable to order, or it would have to be
signed by your executors This incident I
remember, delighted Dickens, who re-
marked, however, with sudden access OF
gravity: should not like to have much
money at a bank which keeps SO clever a
clerk as that"

Last Wednesday night three coloret

Last Wednesday night three coIored men
two blacks and mulatto-broke into the
store of Mr.. Braud at Whitecastle, in the
parish of Iberville, and committed mur-
derous assault upon the storekeeper, who
was asleep in the rear room of the building,
beating him with club until he was sense
less and cutting him slightly with razor,
then robbed the till of about $40 in money
and carried away e quantity of goods. Mr..
Braud is in a very serious condition, but will
probably recover. He does not know the
names of his assaillants, but says he can
recognize them if he sees them again.

When Delilah clipped off Samson's locks
that mighty athlete at once became as other
men," Ii it could be proved that the posses
sion of luxuriant hair would enable men to
tear open lions jaws, Hiscox & Co. would be
driven wild in the effort to supply enough of
Parker's Hair Ba1sam to meet the demand. As
it Is the Balsam prevents Jour hair from falling
ont, and restores the original color if faded or
gray. Besides it is great addition to the toilet
table simply as dressing.

Owls were never an epicuriau feast
but SOuthoy once had an owl roasted
for dinner for himself and Mr.. and
Mrs. Wordsworth; / give the sequel in
his own words:
1--WE agreed there could be no pre-
text for making owls game and killing
them rs delicacies; but il ever you eat
one, 10y all means try it boiled, with
onion sauce.
An omolet made of OWLS eggs is
said 20 be n cure for drunkenness.
At one time the workmcn on The
Washington Monument were good
deal annoyed to find that plumb line
that reached from the top TO the bot
tom of tle shaft was frequently ned
died with. At last it was found that
an owl had taken mp its abode in part
Of the shaft that .ttorded shelter and
in passing IN and ont it had disturbed
the line.
An owl was once bcguiled into a
Georgia conference meeting. intent on
securing n rat that had run into the
room to escape from so persistent an
enemy. Dazed by the light he sailed
around q few times and alightcd upon
the bald head OF an old man directly in
front OF the speaker. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say what was the next move;
but the presence Of the owl may have
called to the preacher mind the pres
once Of Isaiah, who, when he foretold
the desolation of Babylon, declared
that the house should b0 full of doioful
creatures, and that owls should dwell
there
An owl once seriously disturbed the
mourners at a funeral at Beechwood.
Ontario. With tender care they had
placed the remains in tomb, and
were turning away sorrowing, when
they heard a moan that seemed to come
from tho coffin. Hurriedly they broke
the easket open, only 10 lind I'll quiet
within, and then it was discovered

that the noise they had heard came
from owls at the far end of the vault
Dodsley thought it worth his while
to write an ode on the death of an
owl. and Bloomfield made the bird the
subject OF his muse. Many persons
believe that an owl will keep his eyes
so intently fixed on n person walking
around him as TO wiring his own neck
of, and it was not until some quick
eyed observer discovered that when
the owl had turned his head half round,
he whisked it back through the whole
circle with the rapidity of lightning,
and faced again the person who was
experimenting on him. - Providence
