JENNINGS. April %, 1884

JENNINGS, April 23, 1884.
To the Lake Charles Echo:
Ere this communication reaches the
eyes Of the public through the Echo,
each aspirant to local Office will know
whether he is to serve the public Off
cially during the next four years, OF
has been left to the enjoyment of such
comforts as he may be able to provide
for himself in private life.
To those who are defeated, the be-
lief that they would have been elected,
had their fitness for the office sought
bees generally known, may afford
some consolation. And if ii is true
that "the excitement incident to the
pursuit of an object, begets more
pleasure than the possession thereof" /"
the defeated candidate can assure, and
by perseverance, work himself up to
the belief that the pleasures incident
to the pursuit have been full compen-
sation for the time and money spent ;
and as "sour grapes" affect the teeth,
he should rejoice that another will
have to chew them during the next
four years. That when they have lost
their acidity, he may by the grace Of
the people, feed at the public yisitage.
The best men are not always elected;
yet it may be best to assure that they
have, to hold them as such, to a strict
and inteliipent dischar0e of every off.
cially duty, and every failure haye the
stamp Of public condemnation. The
vote at poll one, ward 2, was not as
large as 1t would have been had every
voter registered.
Farm work has been retarded BY
the frequent heavy rains. All crops
will be unusually late. Much Of the
corr planted has failed TO come up,
and that up is growing but little, but
generally speaking, is good.

WHIsKrCHITTo, April 5, 1884.
o the Lake Charles Echo;

ANt %AkiAi 4SDA-
To the Lake Charles Echo:
Dear Echo-As you request in
formation from all parts of the parish
| make bold to drop few lines from
this far-off corner or Northern boun
dary. Health is generally very good
The present outlook for the farmer il
rather gloomy, we have had so many
washing rains, causing much loss Of
time that we are not as well up as i.
usual at this season of the year
Grass is now fine, stock of all kinds
doing well. Our country is fast i'm,
proving, where naught was heard &
few years ago but the howl of the
wolf, and the hoot of the owl. Now,
not only the faithful minister's voice
Is heard proclaiming peace on earth
and good will to men, but the scream
ing whistle of the steam mill greet our
ears, which convinces us that industry
and enterprise are on the wing. Su-
gartown is improving; G. Thielman's
house near completion, and the Metbo-
dist brethren has built for their be-
loved minister a handsome and COM
modious parsonage.
The farmers life is life Of toll,
but take it all III all, | think it the
happiest and most independent as
well as the most healthful that man
can engage in. The lowing of cattle,
the blcating of shesp, the cackling OF
hens, etc, are more congenial to his
taste, and are sweeter music to his ear
than the piano or organ, so much en-
joyed by his city cousins.
| sometimes wonld be glad to reply
to communications in the best of pa
pers, the Echo, but knowing space to
be valuable, ! refrain, but cannot re-
sist my inclination to offer an antidote
to my friend O., in his rather lament
able voice from Six Miles. If properly
applied it will prove infallible. Hear it.:
In speaking of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own
Remember those with homes Of glass a.
Should never throw stone.
II we have nothing else to do,
Then talk of those who sin,
'Tis better to commence at home;
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults land who has not y
The old as well as young,
Perhaps we may for aught VIC know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan,
/ find 1t works full well,
To try my own defects to cure,
Ere others faults l tell.
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know;
Ny own shortcoming bid me let
The faults of others go:
Then let us all, when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those who better know.
Remember, blunders, sometimes like
Our chickens, "reost at home" AID.
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none of our own.

A Peculiar Pledge.

A dispatch from Chicago, dated
April 9th, says: The day after the
decision of the Electoral Commission
declaring r. B, Hayes elected Presi-
dent of the United States, 20 middle
aged men met before the bar of a
Madison street saloon to take drink
of whisky. 1t was to be the last drink
of. this liquid they should take until a
Democratic President was inaugurateG
at Washington. They made solemn
oath to this effect, and as penalty of
the violation of the pledge, made in
good earnest, they fixed a fine of
500. If any fines were collected the
money was to be placed in bank and
used on the Inauguration of Demo
cratic President to fittingly celebrate
the end of the period of probation.
The gentlemen who took the oath
were all honorable men and nearly all
of them were financially solid. This
was eight yoars ago, and the time is:
now drawing near when they hope
that they will be absolved from their
oath. Of the 20, two have died, and
hence are absolyed, five have back
slid, and of this number four have
paid their fines, the fifth being too
poor to settle. This leaves l3 of the
original 90, and as far as known they
have not violated their pledges.
One of the pledgers was found yes
terday in the person of John Pearson,
head porter of the Sherman House
Pearson has lost a couple of fortunes,
and has been obliged to fall back on
portcring. lie has been in business
off and on since 1864, and is particu.
lar croDy OF B. P. Hutchinson, the
millionaire grain and commission man.
"Yes," he admitted to a Chronicle
correspondent, Il am one of the 20.
l have never tasted a drop of whisky
since 1875. None of the pledgers
were very hard drinkers, but we all
drank enough to make it terrible
privation when we had to quit sud
denly. Beer and wine were not in
cluded in the prohibition. fa Demo
cratic President was not elected for
20 years we were to keep to our
pledge. There was no limit or con-
dition."
"When do you expect to take
drink again q
"On March 5, 1886" answered Mr..
Pearson, unhesitatingly, "and the
President will be Samuel ]. Tilden. !
don't intend to get drunk, for never
did, but the first glass of whisky will
taste mighty good, l reckon, after
eight years of beer and ginger ale. |
