The Choral Habit and Life Insurance.

The choral habit is steadily on the in
crease, not only among sufferers from
constant insomnia, but among persons
subject to milder forms of nervous irrita-
ton, to the strain and excitement of spec
ulatiye ventures or to the wear and tear
of late hours and fashionable dissipation.
This nepenthe is more seductive to
people of refinement than the juice of the
poppy; and habitual surrender to its dom
ination is harder to break than the opium
habit. To the usual questions in the ap-
plication for life insurance as to the use or
abuse of alcoholic drinks. tobacco and
opium, may well be added scrutiny rs to
hydrate of chloral, for many persons who
never use the former would have to plead
guilty to more or less frequent recourse
to the latter

Mr.. Coils Potter Huntington was born
some IS years ago on a Connecticut farm,
where every farm is blest with stones enough
70 fence in the entire state, though he has
since risen to be more than fifty times a mil
ionaire and is an authority on ''How to run
3 congress- He began life as chore boy on a
farm. At "a he was in partnership with his
brother as trader, and at % was prosper
BUS merchant in California. 1t was in 1856
that he first began to talk of the feasibility of
a railroad over the Sierra Nevada mountains,
which was afterwards consummated in the
completion Of the Central Pacific, over which
Mr.. Huntington was the controlling
sp;rft and financier. . He. is still in active
business life, expending his winters usually
In Washington, overlooking the interests OF
the several corporations with the control Of
which he is still associated. His railroad sys-
tenn extends from San Francisco nearly to
Mexico, thence across the desert and Texas
To New Orleans. He has finished his railroad
from Hampton roads to Memphis, and is
thought to be the controlling spirit in the
new railroad from Memphis to New Orleans.
Therefore he is the only American who con-
trolls a line from ocean to ocean"
Besides all this ne owns the American line
of steamers from New York to New Orleans,
consisting of about thirty vessels His

The election of ex-Gov Leland Stanford,
ln California, viii be a surprise TO many,
but is natural recognition of the public
spirit and faithful and able public services Of
one Of CALIFORNIA; richest men. Gov. Stan
ford has not, so far as we can judge by the
California papers, beaten so able and formid-
able an antagonist as ex-senator and ex-Min-
ister to Germany Sargent by reason of his
wealth or of its power, but rather In spite Of
it. Californians appreciate what Gov. Stan
ford has done for the interests of the state
They know how broad have been his ambi-
tons for the development of agriculture, of
vfniculture, of stock raising, of education and
Of all that would tend to make California
more than mining camp and unattractive
hsme of the very rich and very poor. Since
the death of his son, over whom it will be re-
menbered Rev. J. P. Newman, Gen Grants
former pastor, preached that $4,000 Grafton,
Gov. Stanford has arranged to leave his for
turne of $15 O00, 900 to the state of California.
The state debt of California, So, OO0, 600, is to
be paid, and the large balance is to be used
as fund for thorough system of popular
education

MY BOY.

Shall not see my boy again?
Never again his form behold2
| o must always seek in vain
Those eyes of blue, those locks of gold2
l listen for his playful glee,
gaze upon bis little chair,
feel for him upon my knee,
He is not therel he is not there
Still, while my heart is rack'd with pain
By hope, and Faith, and Love, Pm told
That I shall see my boy again;
Those eyes of blue, those locks of gold
Yet Hope is still the painted bow
Upon the clouds that with them dies,
Frail words to him who wants TO know
OF other worlds beyond the skies;
And Faith, how narrow is the range,
Against what Time and Earth attest;
Life seems day of ceaseless change,
And Death night of ceaselesE rest.
And Love, though strong in heart, how
weak
To save from fate, SO strong and cold,
The glories of the ruddy cheek,
Sweet eyes of blue, bright locks Of gold.
Once, as the night came down in gloom,
And fill'd my soul with visions wild,
Some presence stole into my room,
My mother with my darling child
My mother glided from above,
That years ago was laid to rest,
She smiled, and spoke In words of love,
clasp'd her to my sobting breast.
l cannot think that but dream'd,
That fancies vain my sense controll'd,
30 true and real the vision seem'd,
Those eyes Of blue, those locks of gold.
Twas thus, tween doubling hope and fear,
peer'd into the dark abyss,
Shall naught assuage the falling tear?
May not know of life and blissY
The prayer is answered from above;
The angels throng the bending skies;
They touch our stricken hearts In love,
Their presence fills our longing eyes
Oh. now | know tits not IN vain,
These bitter pangs, those griefs untold;
For / shall see my boy again
Those eyes of blue, those locks of gold.

King Corn.


Demorest's Monthly, for November. n
Before the civil war cotton was re-
garded as our most important national
agricultural product, So large por-
tion of 1t was exported that Ia great
part il paid for our imports Of mer-
chandise, hence it was SAID that cot
ton was king, But although still one
of our most important national pro-
ducts, 1t is surpassed in value Of late
years not only BY wheat and corn, but
by hay, Last year the value Of our
cotton crop was about $225, 900. 900,
that of the wheat crop was $3a0,o
900, while the value Of corn summed
up the enormous total Of $640, 000,-
900. This year we shall have the
largest crop of corn ever grown, prob.
ably 2,oo0,o0o,Ooo bushels, while it
is supposed we shall have fully
100000 bales of cotton. The money
value of these products may not be
much larger than those Of last year,
because of the increasing purchasing
power OF the gold unit, but the abun-
dance Of these crops will give employ
ment to our railroads and will enlarge
the profits of all who deal in them.
Although our wheat crop Is less than
II was last year, nature on the whole
has been prodigal. If there is suffer
ing anywhere on the globe it will be
because of the unwise fiscal systems
Of the nations. II is monstrous that
any one should be hungry in a world
full Of food, or suffer from insufficient
clothing when the machinery for
clothes is SO perfect.

Whatever views may be honestly
entertained by individuals respecting
the proper tariff policy for the United
States to pursue, it is very eviden
that the wishes and interests of thu
great army of industry in this country
are entitled to consideration and re
spect, and it ought to be equally plair
that, whether on the side of capital OIL
labor, that vast industrial interest il
unanimous in its sentiment of antag
onism to any present interference by
Congress in the matter. The fear that
Notwithstanding this widespread feel
ing the tariff agitation is to be revived
at the approaching session of the Ma
tional Legislature is the one element
of uncertainty in the industrial situa,
ton. OF grave concern to the people
everywhere, this is exceptionally bad
for the New South, whose undeyel-
oped resources and attractions only
wait for the long-expeoted confidence
and activity TO receive prompt atten-
tion at the hands of capital and en-
terprise.
It may be that, abstractly consid-
cred, the present tariff would be the
better for revision in some particu-
lars, but even if such is the case, the
mass of Americans engaged in man
ufacturing enterprises and the legion
of working people dependent upon
them for employment are solidly in
favor of a suspension of action in the
matter, at least until some of the
losses incurred during the past depres-
sion shall be made up. As the party
of the people, the Democratic party is
bound to take notice Of this, as well
as of another popular demand in re-
gard to the silver coinage question.
If the party leaders be wise they will
not fail to observe that, however much
the beauties of free trade may appeal
to their ideas, for the present the la
boring classes are bitterly opposed to
any diminution Of the incidental pro-
lection now accorded to American
labor.
For the generally able men who will
represent the New South in Congress
next winter, considerations of this
kind are in order. There is too much
reason to anticipate strong move
ment emanatiDg from New York and
Boston, which will have for its object
a heavy cutting down Of the tariff and
the demonstration Of silver. The
danger is not great, perhaps, that the
effort will prove disastrous to the in
terests of the people, simply because
there is every prospect that the West
and South will make common cause,
and develop strength ample to defend
the position Of the two sections on the
questions of the tariff and the currency.
Ii VIC could be equally sure that they
would have the powcr to keep Con-
gressionaI hands of the former for q
couple Of years, the outlook for indus
try and trade would be infinitely better.

agriculture is analogous to this. One
crop fits another in the rotation. Hor-

hultor Lake Charles Echo;
Please allow me to call the attention
Of our Mayor and Conncilmen to what
! consider an evil that is not only
grevious, but is constantly growing,
and is calculated sooner or later to
work an injury to our town, viz: that
habit indulged in by certain characters
of using profane and vulgar language
upon our streets. appeal in behalf
Of the ladies for correction Of this
evil. That a lady cannot sit on the
piazza or gallery at her home and en-
Joy the evening breezes without being
forced to hear the bitter cursing OF
vulgar harrangues of set of hood
lums is an outrage that the better
class of our citizens should not brook,
and ! am satisfied that numbers of our
citizens who arc so unfortunate as to
be given 10 the habit Of using profane
language will agree with me, that the
use of snch language on the streets is
worry wrong, and no doubt will give
their voice in behalf of an effort to
suppress the evil. X.
