EVEN HIS KISSES COMEHIGH

A good story was told of Booth
when he was here last, says the
Philadelphia Press, which illustrates
his difference to the class of women
who always find something irreslstl
BILE and fascinating in the men who
earn their livings behind the foot
lights. Booth was travelling on the
Boston and Albany Road one day,
having just closed an engagement
in the New England metropolis.
He heard an extensively dressed,
handsome, middle-aged woman back
of him sigh and say to her com
panion: II would give $50 to kiss
that man. Booth turned suddenly
and looked at the speaker. "DoYou
mean thatg" he demanded, fixing
his fine dark eyes upon her and
causing the blood to mount up to
the very roots of her hair.
"Why, yes, Of course l do" replied
the woman confusedly, looking i'll a
helpless sort of q way at the great
tragetlian and at the smiling passen-
G rs.
'sWell, l accept the terms, mad
ame," exclaimed Booth, solemuly.
"And | stand by my pIoposition,S
said the woman, recovering her self.
possession, aIId, rising, she printed
ii sound kiss upon the actors lips.
Booths face did not betray the
slightest emotion, He received the
kiss stolidly, and did not return it,

HIM a $50 bill. He took the moncy

shabbily dressed woman on the
other side of the aislp, who was
travelling with two young children;
placed the money in her hands, and
with courtly bow, said: "This il

THE PURLIC SCHOOLS.

Amidst the dissenrions existing
in and as regards the other depart
ments of our state and municipal
governments, it is gratifying to see
the concord and mutual efforts of
the whole people of the state, irres-
pectiye of race and party, in behalf
Of education.
1t would be safe to say that at no
period has there existed through
out the parishes greater interest
than now in the public schools.
The only limit to their efficiency is
that of means to pay the teachers
during the whole schOOlestic year.
The State Superintendent, the
LouisianaE dVGaAiqRelSociei ofNew
Orleaney the Louisiana Educational
Association of.tlle State at large, the
Improvement i'll the efficiency OF
parish school direction have brought
about great and encouraging
changes, warranting the belief, that
in this important regard Louisiana,
at last,is in the true line OF progress,
| During thls SEASON there have
been held in different parts of the
Estate, so called Institutes, where
educators ofprominence have taught
and lectured the teachers of The Dis
tricC therein assembled, as to tue
better modes of teaching. These
Institutes, it would appear, have
generally been well attended and
with good results.
We're we to criticise at all thu
course recommended at these gath
erings, it would be regarding tn
course of instructions recommended
B to be followed in the public schools
1t seems to us that too high grad
of studies is insisted on, even wer
it practicable to obtain teacher
: competent to properly teach wha
are known as The higher branches
for we think experience has show
: that the closer to the simple ell
mentary studies pupils are confined
8 the more thorough and effieiel
r scholars they become.
4 The discussion which the il
|. creased interest i'll public educatio
it has given rise to, as to the laws, f,
collection and distribution of til
% school funds, and other like matter
e is likely to bring important que'

The above truly remarkable clip
ping was sent to us by o friend in
Aberdeen.
The whisky sellers meet and re-
solve that they will not sell to min
Ors, nor on Sunday, nor to any one
who gets drunk The drug stores
shall not sell LIQUOR on Sunday. OK
cept on the prescrlpt'on OF a prac-
ticing phi, stefan Truly, "tbe
Greeks bear gifts to the Trojans."
But before We take this wooden
horse, let's examine him, and see il
there is not more in him than Pro-
hibitionists want.
All of their virtuous resolutions
are explained when we state that
four or five of the parties signing
the paper have petitions pending for
license. Now, in order 10 disarm
some of the opposition, they resolve,
that on and after this date, they will
obey the laws.
What is this but acknowledging
what all know, that they have ha-
bitnally violated the law in times
past? Now comes the question,
Will men who have given bond to
keep the law, and violated that bond
time and again, feel any compunc-
tons of conscience for the violation
of resolutions passed by themselves?
Are such men to be trusted by law
abiding, peace-loving, respectable
citizens? Will any one believe that
they propose to show any more hon
or to the resolution than to the
law
Will the mayor of that town en-
force the resolutions more than he
has the law? How is it that the
mayor receives permission and in.
structlon from salOon-keepers to en-
force their resolutions Why has
he not enforced the law? Can the
resolutions passed by a dozen men
be OF more authority than the laws
of the State of Mississippi ? How
is it that the question of selling Ii.
quor to minors, drnnkards, on Sun.
day is to be regulated by the resolu-
tions OF liquor sellers? The laws
can only be changed every two
years, and that openly how long
after these men got their license un.
Til they met and resolve that all lin
itation of the traffic is unconstitu-
,ional and not to be obcyed. and
then instruct the mayor not to en-
force those arbitrary laws?
The fight should he continued tn
the bitter end. Let the good people
of Aberdeen resolve to make thor
ough work of the matter. Let there
be no federation for those officers OF
the law who are in favor of LIQUOR.
and in violation of their most solemn
oaths, wink at crime, and allow
violations of the law to 90 unpun.
