Legal Advertisements.

Iberia Sugar Bowl.
As many persons do not understand
the law regarding the requirements
for legal advertising, we will state that
administrators or others who have &C.
casion to do any kind of advertising,
to comply with the law, are entitled
to Losoer rates than usual, which are
fired By lar, and such notices can
legally be inserted in any paper within
the limits of the parish. 1t matters
not qokdt paper may be awarded the
printing for the Police Jury, at the
lowest bid, that does not constitute it
the official journal for anything beyond
that body's publications. Hence, ad-
vertisers, being free to make their own
choice, would best serve their interests
by publishing in paper long estab-
lished and having a large circulation.
Persons in other parishes and States
oftimes are induced to come and make
bids on property, when they thus see
the advertisement in a widely circu-
lated paper. 1t costs the advertiser
or succession no more than in a paper
with the smallest circulation, and serves
them a great deal better.

The Shreveport Times of a recent
date says: 1t is we'll known to the
readers of the Times that the policy
of the paper under its present editor
has been directed toward a strong an
tagonism of the civil service law and
our hybrid mugwump connections.
We have never believed for an instant
that such a policy was strengthening
the Democratic party; the result has
shown that such a belief was well
founded. Our party workers are not
dishonest men and hue1stering politi-
clans; they form in large measure
our best party eIenent-those who
have upheld the party banner during
twenty-four years Of continuous de-
feat. They have upheld the party
from principle, and not from the hope
of plumber. These men must be re-
eognized, and must be rewarded ; any
other policy is suicidal to the last de-
gree. Let us make straight party
fight hereafter, and let it be said that
our civil service reform means putting
Democrats in and Republicans out.

The New Orleans States says: The
campaign made by Fitz Hugh Lee in
Virginia has, perhaps, no parallel in
the political history of that State.
When he rode through Russell county
the other day, 1900 taxpayers Of the
county mounted their horses anG es-
corted him to line. His mounted es-
corts in other counties have been
equally large, and the feeling against
Malone is SO strong that many ladies
ride in the professions. A New York
Sun correspondent, accompanying
Gen. Lee through the State, writes
that e the people of Virginia have
risen in their might TO hnrl back in
the teeth of Malone and Wise the
slanderons assertions that they are
murderers and assassins."

Changes ON .be Earth,s surface.

The lighthouse keeper at Reykjanes, the
southwest point of Iceland, discovered on
July last that a new island had suddenly ap-
peared above the water, about nine miles
from the mainland. Nine weeks ago the
British Consul in Iceland visited the island,
which he describes as black volcanic rock
of small extent. In this neighborhood sew
eral islands have from time to time risen to
the surface or sunk out of sight.
Geological writings give great many in
stances of important changes on the earth's
surface that have been made within historical
times. The stupendous volcanic eruption of
Krakstau on Aug. 27 of last year entirely
changed the physical aspect of the Sunda
Straits. A part of Krakatau was shot out of
the sea and dropped into the straits eight
miles northward. The greater portion of the
island, containing several thousand million
cubic yards of earth, was hurled through the
air over Zung Island, and plunged into the
channel seven miles to the northeast. These
two new pieces Of land, which have been
named Steers and Cslmeyer Islands, now ap-
pear above the sea where previously 24O feet
of water existed. Where the volcano of
Krakatau stood a sea fathomless by line of
1000 feet now exists
General Sir ]. II. Lefroy recently called at
tention to the fact that 90 more or less extern
sive tracts of land are known to be rising or
sinking. Geologists tell US that the Atlantic
coast between Cape Cod and Cape Hatteras
has been sinking for centuries and that the
subsidence has not yet ceased on the coasts
of New York and New Jersey. The Indians
who lived on Manhattan Island when the
Dutch colonized it two centuries ago, said
that in the time of their great grandfathers
it was possible to cross He'll Gate dry shod
from one bank to the other. Prof. Guyot es-
timRted that since the colonization of the
country, this part of the coast has subsided
twenty three and one-half inches every cent
ury.
Science is not yet able to tell in accordance
with what laws these upheavals and depres-
sons of the earth's crust occur. Geologists,
however, have been able to fix almost exact
ly the limits of the areas both of upheaval
and subsidence. There is now no doubt that
many of the islands of the southern Pacific
Ocean are the lofty portions of a continent
which sank until the waters covered it. 9th
er parts of the Pacific Ocean bed are gradu-
ally rising. and are thrusting here and there
new islands above the sea.
While the greater part of the American
continent is slowly rising, Australia is gradu-
ally sinking. Lieutenant Commander De
Long found evidence that Bennett Island had
risen 100 feet within quite recent times.
Thus year by year the earth is reconstituting
its seas and continents.

THINGS OF CURRENT INTEREST.


AfARNAAANNNHH-IN
A Denver despatch of Dec. 80 says The
first report Of hunger, cold and death in the
mountains comes from Eagle county. N. H.
Smith of Dotsero started q week ago last
Tuesday, with Elbridge Forsyth and two
teams, for Coffeepot Springs for lumber, and
that night the storm began. On Sunday the
mail carrier reached Dotsero from Carbonate,
with the news that the men had not been seen
since Wednesday. The storm had ragged with
undated fury for days. A relief party OF
Ave men was started at once and after strug
gle through the drifting snow and furious
gale of wind they found Forsyth, half dead
from hunger and cold and 80 weak that he
was unable to move. When they asked for
Smith, the famished man pointed to bank
Of snow some distance away, and gasped
"He died yesterday morning, and, boys, you
are too late for either Of u.s."
The white mound was examined, and Smiths
body was found half covered with snow and
frozen hard. In Forsyth's olinched hand was
a scrap of pt per on which he had written with
bis benumbed fingers a brief word to his wife,
az follows:
DEAR ADDIE: We cannot live another night.

He was carried to Willow Springs and car

be- crippled for life. He tells the following
story:
"Soon after we started on Tuesday we kill

thought il would be of brief DURATION but on
Wednesday we found ourselves hemmed 10 on
all sides by deep drifts, and we're unable to
get fuel to repenish our fires. We we're then
left 10 the cold with only raw deer meat to
eat On that day we saw the mail carrier in
the distance on his way TO DOtsero, moving
along freely on snow-shoes. We tried to sig

pear. With this failure our last hope died

wife. Them dog goned banks is all busted,
and them bills we've ben so proud on amt

For a moment Bethulia frowned O little,
then she giggled and said
Love in a tub, and the bottom fell out"
"But love didn't fly away, responded Bush
rod laughing at her application of the old
saying. "But there's another day s-comin',
nd we can earn more nd ef there amt we
won't want it,"
"Waall, guess Ill hev to be ioggin' on.
Do as the beggars do, eat nd run, you know
but I'm afeard won't get to Tadmor fore

whose detected beast was soon brought to the
door, looking, as did her master, quite re-
freshed and comforted by her rest and fodder.
Mr. Dundy shook hands with the patriarch,
who had reseated himself in his royal, gothic,
woodland throne and was endeavoring to
light his pipe; then with BethuliR, calling
her for the first time by her new title Of Mrs.
Collins which brought little giggle to her
lips, and then turned to the groom, who stood
at the door, holding the reins of the horse.
AS the preacher offered his hand, he seized
and gave it hearty pressure, saying with sim
cere earnestness
Nov, parson, don't want you 10 do this
little job for nothin', and I'll make a coffin
FIR you any time you want it. Preachers
gen'ally give their weddin' fees to their wives,

or"-with a genuine inspiration-''you can
make spec ont. Sell it for clean cash, you
know. Or, ef you'll give me your measure
ment I'll make it to fit you or one O. your
children"
The preacher swung himself into bis sad
die, and as he gathered up the rens to start
he laughingly turned to Bushrod, saying
'Waall, I'll consider your offer. Which
would you ruther make it fur-me, my wife,
or one of the children 2"
co." replied Bushrod, as he reentered the
open door, from which issued the sound of
rattling pans and Bethulis's clear voice sing
ing

"Oh, I'm not at all partickrr. You can fix
that to suit y'rself. But tell you it's a chance
