LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

The hill parishes of North Louis
lana are and since the war have
been strongly Democratic. While
other sections of the State were
firmly held by the letters Of Re
publicanism and writing under
iniquitous domination, the parishes
between the Red and Ouachita
rivers made gallant fights and
in nphoiding the Demo
cratic cause. When the contest
for honest government and AL eco,
nomic administration of affairs
seemed to wane in some sections.
this kept up the good fight until Il
victory for the whole State VAS
achieved. Nor has it ceased its
fight since the cOnsummatlon OF
that victory, but is bold, Outspo-
ken and defiant in denunclatlOn
of WRONGS, and earnest and enthu.
siastic in tho endorsement OF
what is right. These are the
banner Democratic parishes-the
bulwark of the DemOcracy-Of
Louisiana. They are almost unan-
imonsly Democratic and whenever
a controversy arises between right
and wrong, right gets its strongest
support, its banner is raised higher
and held iirmer here than else
where.
And yet, since the election OF
Mr.. Cleveland what reward have
the Democrats of this section re-
ceived for their past fidelity ana
gallant fighting for the cause.
Only look at the appointments II

THE FIRST INDIAN CHURCH.

The celebrated John Eliot, Apostle to the
Indians, established an Indian church in
Naticl, Mass, in 1900. 1t was the first one
of the kind in New England. Three years
later, the Bible, translated by him into the
Nipmuck language, was printed at Cam.
bridge. This is the title: " Mamuzze Wun-
neetupanatamwe Up Biblum God Naneeswe
Nukkone Testament Kah Wonk Wasku Tes-
lament" He also versiied the Psalms in
the same language. 1t is doubtful whether
any person living can read this Bible.
This church, in 1910, consisted of nearly
fifty members. During Philips War, the
praying Indians were removed to Deer Is
land, and the labors of this celebrated mis-
sionary were very much impeded. The
oak-tree under which he used to instruct the
sons of the forest is still pointed out at South
Natick; and there monument has beer
raised to his memory, on one side of which
are the words, "Up Biblum God"

A SNAKE STORY.

About a mile and half from Rockville,
r. l., there is noted rendezvous for snakes
and people are careful how they approach
the spot. OF the hundreds of snakes which
have their homes at this den, one has al.
ways been terror to the neighborhood. II
has been known that an enormous serpent
had for several years infested the place, but
no one wanted to tackle him, and he was left
alone. His snakeship is at least 20 feet
long, and foot and half in circumference,
of dark brown color, and is thought to be
one that escaped from circus at Newport
some years ago.

WHALERs' SUBMISSIONS.

At the present day il is the commonest
thing in the world for whale fishers to burn
an effigy in order to bring luck" If a
ship has fallen in few whales the crew
attribute their bad fortune to their having
some unlucky individual on board, and by
burning his efigy they believe that his ma
lign influence is got rid of. The most un.
popular man in the ship is generally pitched
upon as the offending party. Sometimes
two or three pictures are burned, one sitter
the other, if luck is very bad, and on ar
average one is burned in each whaleship
every season. The practice is very ole
one, and is said to have taken rise from Q
similar custom which prevailed among the
herring fishers of Banffshire, by whom it
was introduced on board the Peterheat
whalers. A century or two ago no
merely efigies, but living men and women
were burned on suspicion of casting
blight upon the herring fishery.
