When hard times come upon las q
great many business men deem it
necessary to cut down expenses, and
some, probably sincere in the belief
that it is economy, at once reduce or
discontinue their advertisement in their
local paper, yet in 50 doing overlook
the fact that their only invitation 10 the
public in general to trade with them is
that published in their home paper, and
when discontinued the merchant is
practically dead in the community and
cannot expect, nor does he receive the
trade Of the reading public. Look the
business and professional world over
and how readily it will lie seen that the
prosperous are those that keep heir
names and business continually before
the public by means of the press.
During hard times the business man
that ceases to advertise finds that trade
is dull and continues to grow less day
by day, while his competitor that
doubles his advertisement reports .
fair business or marked improvement.
The fact is, and live business men know
it from experience, that the time to
employ the agency Of the press TO the
limit is during the dull season. This is
the theory Of N. 7. Dinsmore, the
popular clothing merchant Of Maiden
whose advertisement appears this week
greatly enlarged and remodeled. He
wants your trade and tells you SO
through the proper nnedium-yOur

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Several
consuls to Southern ts,recently ap-
pointed, have been full of concern
these past few days to know of Secre-
tary Bayard how soon they will be re-
quired to leave for duty. Some re-
them would be glad to delay their de-
parture until fall, to escape a blister
ing summer at the outset. "You are
not as impatient now as you were be-
fore you were appointed" observed
Mr.. Bayard to one of the number to-
day. Il really cannot answer your
question: it may be very soon. and, of
course, you'll be ready when the time
comes" added the secretary pleas
antly, but so as to give the young man
the grimmest sense of his duty. The
young man started off as if he would

She had tho body exhumed and

Col. j. w. NickaisOm's Work
Oh Mathematics.

The following is taken from an
an article published in the Baton
Rouge Truth, of tho 18th;
The many friends and admires of
Oul distinguished fellow citizen Col.
J. w, Nicholson, both in this city and
Throughout the State, will learn with
pride and pleasure of the action of
the state Board of Education last
Monday in adopting his Arithmetic
soon to be published, as the one for
use in the public schools of this state.
Col Nicholson has been engaged
for several years in perfscting a
mathematical series, the first of
which will appear in the shape of
two arrithmetics, higher and lower
which will combine many admirable
novel features not to be found in
other text books.
1t has been the aim of the Colonel
throughout to simplify and shorten
the mathematical process as much
as possible, and to state principles
in such a shape as to he easily grasp
ed by the youthful mind, by methods
which have stood the test of practi-
cal application in his class room for
over fifteen years. And another
feature of the series will be, that
while the books are intended for
general use throughout the whole
United States, they are especially
adopted to the needs of the Louisi-
ana student.
For instance, especial attention is
paid to the process involved in the
leading industry of the State, such
as those which arise in dealing in
rice, sugar. cotton and the lumber
trade, while the student will daily
acquire valuable general information
from the fact that the propositions
stated are all founded upon a state
ment of facts involved in somo Lou
isiana industry, or upon statistics and
data the knowledge of which will be
of value to every Louisiana student.
Col. Nicholson expects to place his
first two books before public some
time in August.

Point Coupe Banner.

When a New Orleans merchant
becomes fnalcially embarrassed he
applies to the courts to call meet
ing of his creditors and asks for a
respite or extention of time, and
finally winds up by getting a full
release by paying from 10 to 20 cents
on the dollar. When the country
merchant or planter becomes en-
barrassed and is unable to pay the
city merchant in full, the city mer-
chant applies to the courts and OBJ
tains an execution against the coun-
try debtor and sells out the last piece
of property he owns. When the
country merchant or planter fails, he
is termed in the city parlance, a swim
die; and when the city merchant sus-
ponds, after gobbling up the pro-
ceeds of the crops entrusted to him,
he is said to be unfortunate. The
city merchant calculates on sc per
cent. profit, while the country mer-
chant is satisfied with 10 per cent;
and the planter works hard all the
year with the hope Of making 6 per
cent. on his investment.
The above is taken from the
Point Coupee Banner as indicated.
We agree somewhat with the Ban
ner. 1t is poor rule that don't
work both ways. We all feel the
full force of this logic in this coun-
try The planter tolls all the year
for a mere support, denying him
self of many necsssaries in life
while the city merchant. although
broke, can 60 to Europe and take
q rest few months from his cares.

MONROE, April 2l.-Judge Wade
Fl. Hough, who ran on the RepubEi-
can ticket for Judge OF the ninth
judicial district of Louisiana, COM
posed of the parish of Concordia and
Tensas, At the last general election
against S. Charles Young, Democrat
who was returned elected. has filed
suit in the United States court, now
in session here, for damages aggre-
eating $37.500 and costs. The suit
is brought against G.. Garneal Gold
man, returning, officer, and John
Murdoch, Charles C. Cordill, Will
liam C. Young, Joseph Curry, William
Nj. Davidson and james Curry,
William NJ. Davidson and james
Curry, commissioners of election, all
citizens Of Tensas parish, upon whom
the necessary papers have been serv-
ed by the United States Marshal
Weaks for their appearance dnring
the present term of court. This
suit is, perhaps, the first of its
character ever brought, hence a gen.
eral synopsis of the. petition, which
was filed on April 18th, by Ludeling
& Stillman, attorneys, will be of in
terest: The petitioner, Wade H.
Hough, who is a citizen of Matches,
Miss, where he has removed since
the election, represents that he was
candidate for Judge of the ninth dis
trict at an election held in April,
1884, and was elected by fIom $500
to 1000 majority. In Concordia
parish the returning officer and COM
misioners, although his political OPP
ponents, guve him 1,45O majority,
which was several hundred less than
his real majority. In Tensas Iarish
there were 1892 votes returned as
cast, of which he was accorded only
3l5, and his opponent returned as
elected in the district by seventeen
hundred and fifteen majority. He
AYERS that nearly the whole parish
of Tensas was under water and had
been for weeks, and not over five
hundred votes were cast; that the re-
turns made by Goldman were false,
illegal, fraudulent and malicious, and
he knew them 50 to be, as did several
of the commissioners appointed by
him to make such fraudulent returns
and aid and abet him. The petition
AYERS that he has before and since the
war been electsd to many honora-
BILE, responsible and lucrative Offices,
and was Judge of the late thirteenth
judicial district nealy twelve consecu-
tive years; that sometime during
1882 certain damaging and derogato-
ry charges were put in circulation
affecting his moral character and fits
ness for Judge, with view to deprive
him of the same; that on account of
the anguish, mental torment, grief
and chagrin, and the probable has
tening of his late wife to a prema-
ture grave and the failure to vindi-
cate his character by a reelection,
caused by the fraudulent returns
made by Goldman ct ais, he has
suffered damage amounting to $685.
600, in addition to $4,000, loss of
salary of the Office, and in the further
sum of $4,000 attorneys fees.
The case excites great deal Of in
terest, as it is a new and unexpected
move.

The fact is, Irishmen are generous
and hospitable. They smother their
hatred of England and pay honor to
the heir to the British throne because
he comes to them confidingly, as a
gust. If they continue their good
behavior to the end, they will deserve
credit for their good sense and self
restaint. No doubt they will do so.
Yet there are cranks in every land,
and the Queen will probably feel
easier and happier when her SON and
heir gets safely back to old England.
