Last Saturday, after our paper
had appeared, Judge RoS; took the
bench for the first time in his parish
as District Judge II der the I, ceut

the bench here, as Parish Judge
nd hoe, by appointment, in refused
cases of Judge James u. AuguSiin.
The latter gentleman made u
motion to spread the commission on
tue minutes which motion was sec
Onded by Mr.. Alfred L Billings,
the sprighlly attorney Of Gretnd.
Judge Augusta IN ieW appropriate
remarks, welcomed the new JUG 3:
he said in substance that thls day
was a proud and happy one ioi the
people of ST. Charles who lad at
heart the welfare of the community,
that it was a matter of congratula
ton to see in this important judicial
position one who was one Of their
valuable citizens; one whose execu
tive ability had mainly contributed
to take the Parish out of debt, as
member of the Police Jury, and ad-
miniStered it's affairs with II wisdom
which has placed il on solid cash
financial basis; he speaker SAID he
felt assured bA iii, education and
experience of the Incumbent, that
he would b., equally able to admin
lister justice successfully, practically
and impartiaily; NJ, the son of thu
late 2. A. host, formerly associate
justice of the Supreme Court would
be worthy of 80 distinguished a
father.
Judge Emile Rost replied in few
we'll chosen wolds, remarIling that
he would always keep in mind his
oath of office, and his duty as a
magistrate, and devote to the dis
charge of these duties with all the
ability that he possessed. The

We hear complaints from some of our
young men over the parish; that they
have not had opportunities to attend
school, and render that as an excuse for
lack Of information. Young men. have
yon Mane good use Of the opportunities
afforded you? If not, then no longer rem
der such excuses. Anybody who will,
can inform himself. Do you wish TO
know how? Lay down that old rife;
kill those hounds; fake that spare change
spent for foelishness, and bury some coed
books. Read aud study one hour out of

the world calls an educated man.

old antagonism between the jew ard the
GENTLE races we have not perceived it.
The affair was entirely outside of creed
a purely man and man affair, in which
each smote the other manfully; no weap-
on of any sort was used. Ne hail it as
the beginning of the new order of things.
under which. such slight differences may
be adjusted without the chance of its en-
ding in homicide, or injury, such as would
necessitate action of the grand jury. The
descendant of Gideon has proven that the
saying The Jews won't fight" does not
apply to him. We hope it may be long
time before you have to chronicle another
affair of honor.

1t is a well known fact that our mus

Special to 81. Louis Globe Democrat:
A terrific rain and wind storm swept

westerly direction aud lasted several
hours, blowing down trees, fences and
outhouses, and in some places washed
up corn and other seeds that had been
recently planted. The next morning,
1t Canton and vicinity, number of
strange birds were found living, or
sitting on the ground, some of them
lead and others crippled from being
hurled against trees. houses and other
obstacles. Again others were found
apparently uninjured, although they
seemed unable or indisposed To fly any
considerable distance. Upwards of a
hundred of these birds have been
picked up. and. as they are entire
strangers To the locality, the SUPPOSE
ton Is, that they were caught up on
the sea coast by the wind and waited
this way. They are certainly species
Of sea fowl, and resemble the penguin.
They are about the size of tho teal
duck, have a head like the game
chicken and Il bill like the crow. Their
legs are short and web-footed; their
wings are also short. The feathers on
the neck and back are black and dark
green, while those on the breast are a
bright silvcry gray. The birds have no
tails. and the live ones were found
either sitting up or waddling. and

Margaret was her warlike husbands teac
or In the faith Of Christ; and often 81
would read the New Testament TO him, c
planning its divine lessons OF humility, cha

In the grand historic pages
OF the records of the past
There are pictures of dark ages,
That We love 10 think will last.
Then man battled iiercely, madly
But, in every lull from strife
Margaret taught her husband gladly
From the precious Book Of Life.
Such picture, lit with glory,
Like jewel richly set,
Cleans before us in the story
OF the Scotch queen, Margaret.
When the world was waiting dumbly
Seeking vainly for guide,
This good queen was gazing humbly
At the the Saviour crucifed.
Often Malcolm Canmore listened
To the story of the cross,
Till with tears his fierce eyes glistened
Till he counted glory loss.
Pleasant picture this we're keeping
One we love and gaze upon.
Bringing harvest worth the reaping
From the ages that are gone.
