STAND FROM UNDER.

In a recent decision of the supreme
court, delivered by Judge Manning,
in the suit of State of La. VS.. Victor,
tax collector OF st. Landry, it was
held by the court that all taxes on
movable property must be collected
before the first of November, and
that tax collectors must file in the
recorders Office tabnlated statement
of all taxes on movable property that
cannot be collected, after exhausting
the law, before they can claim relief
from the same. Sheriff Goode In
forms as that he will proceed imme-
diately to collect faxes on movable
property in Grant parish, as under
this decision he has no recourse but
to enforce the law to the letter. AS
he was somewhat tardy and lenient
in the matter last year, we make this
statement so as to warn our citizens
that it will not do to daily over the
payment of their taxes on movable
property now due.

Miss Cleveland's Earlier History
Lebanon volks zeitung.l

Lebanon Voiks Zeitung.l
About sixteen years ago young
lady was engaged as teacher OF .
private school in Lebanon. The pub
Usher OF this paper paid the tuition
fee for one Of her pupils, and the
teacher passed in and out OF his
house almost like one of the family.
OF pure English descent, she spoke
English only, but out of regard for
her surroundings here she soon ac-
CURED o little German, which she
used on any suitable occasion. We
looked upon her at that time as
lady of superior mental power, with
noble principles and relf-reliance. AS
q school teacher of unassumiDg de-
pertinent, the world in general took
no more notice of her than Of such
individuals as you will meet by hum
dreds in every town. The most in
flated classes OF Lebanon perhaps
never bestowed look of recogni-
ton upon her.
Alter she had left Lebanon, about
fourteen years ago. she kept up some
correspondence with some OF her
friends here. which, however. grad
u lily ceased, and she was almost
forgotten by all except few friends,
who fondly kept her name in reEnem-
brance. An event which transpired
in Chicago about year ago brought
the name of this school teacher 10
the surface again, and she was sud-
denly seen in a new light. 1t was
discovered that she was the sister OF
the Governor Of New York. who waa
then nominated as Q candidate for
President of the United States. This
elevated her name at once to high
degree, yet the fame was not firmly
established, and it was supposed it
might come down again to its former
level. But after Cleveland wae really
elected, aud the fact became known
that his sister (the Lebanon school
heacher) was really the leading lady
of the country, her fame went up II
once like pillar of fire. Now almost
everybody in Lebanon claims her ns
a personal acquaintance and friend,
and now, since it is also discovered
that she possesses great literary tai
euts and is the author Of great
book, the enthusiasm for her knows
no bounds. Most everybody now
claims to have known her as q cousin.
Letters which have lain in the dust
for many years are brought out and
valued rs q fortune.

HENCE THESE TEARS.

Our friend Hyams, of the Sugar
Planter, is in state of perturbation,
aud frantically cries it is "Time to
Halt" The cause of his agitation is
the little controversy at present
pending between the "Ring" and
ewing" factions of the Democratic
party in Louisiana. We can assure
our friend that his soiicitude for
harmony within the ranks is appre-
ciated, and his touching appeal to
confreres of the State to join him in
repudiating the "Groupe" of Con-
gressional tricksters, almost brought
tears to our eyes. In fact, we sus-
pect one or two little tears did trickle,
as the force Of The funny proposition
dawned upon our befogged compre-
hension. 1t is plain, straightfor-
ward proposal, and is put with all
the artlessness of practiced coquette.
But we must beg to be excused just
| this one time. The thought gives us
pain, as we remember the lonely
company for which the Sugar Planter
so earnestly solicits recruits. How
ever, we will promise friend Ryams
that we will affiliate with the wing
only so long as it Stands squarely
by the principles of the Democratic
party" II has done SO thus far. ano
we see no reason to believe it will &c
back on its record. In the mean
while we will extend cordial invita-
ton to the Sugar Planter to join oul
side. If it can prevail on its two
| NJ. C's. to range along side with oul
six, and get its one or two dozeI
Office holders to do the same thing
"the present discussions will sool
disappear.
