We need n State law authorizing

Such a law the SENTINEL has ad
vocated for years, and urged upon
the members of the late Constitu
tional convention to have such a
law adopted.
The convention finally passed a
clause allowing parishes to tax
themselves for purposes of public
improvement, a permission of about
as much practical Importance as
permission to give a goose the priv
ilege of walking on one foot. If
such laws, as the Observer demands,
were in force it would be worth

Seeing the above going the
rounds Of the papers recalls to. the
writer some Of the pleasing memo
ries OF nearly half a century ago
Moses Case did not 90 into the
Mexican war as a musician in a
Kentucky Regiment. He went in
the third Indiana Regiment com
manded by colonel Jim Lane, who
subsequently became famous in the
Kansas troubles of 1860 and finally
maddened by Kansas whisky, shot
himself to death. Moses went as a
servant to Capt. 7. Ware Gibson,
who died a few years ago in Louis
Vile, Kentucky, but who was a Isl
dent of Charlestown, Indiana, in
which town his family still reside.
Moses Gases parents lived about
one mile from Charlestown, and
were true typical negroes, having
the thick lips and curly hair that de
notes the genuine African race.
They raised 10 or II children,
George Nose, and one of the girls,
whose name is not remembered
were albino's, whittier than pure eau
casians, but swith the typical lips,
and hair and features Of the PAL
ents !; eyebrows, eyelids, all were
white as wool.
The girl was kitchen servant,
and Nose vas il hOstler at the Par
ker hotel when the writer boarded
in it attending school. The first en-
trance of the girl IN the dining room
is forgotten but her last appear
ance is in-soup-erbly fixed in the
memory.
Her sight was bad in daylight,
especially if the sun was brilliant.
She was sent into the dining
room one day, at the dinner hour
when dozen hungry boarders
were seated around the table.
AS she entered the door her foot
struck upon something, causing
the poor girl to pitch forward and
cast the tureen between two OF the
boarders, under the table, breaking
it into pieces. She never came IN
to the dining oom again.

Nose was missing, and was found

Moses started a minstrel compa
ny, wandered about over the coun
thy, undertook to advance the
cause of temperance by drinking
all the whiskey, failed ia the enter
prise and has been sleeping with
his father, for many many years.
The other children of the Cases
were ali %emphatlcally black. Some
OF them are, perhaps, yet living in
and abont their old home.
They were all quiet, peaceable
and industrious people.

A rural correspondent sends the Gossiper
the following which is hereby dedicated
to the female public;
"A girl who makes herself too cheap is
one to be avoided No young man wants
anything to do with cheap young lady for
a wife. None but fool will approach
such a woman. Cheap jewelry nobody will
touch If he can get any better. Cheap girls
are the refuse and the young men know it,
and they will look in every direction for Il
lifelong friend and companion before they
will look at the pinchbeck stuff that tink-
les at every turn fascinating the eye of any
that will look. You think it is quite the
correct thing to talk loudly and coarsely;
be boisterous and hoydensh in public pla-
ces; to make yourself so bold and forward
and commonplace everywhere that people
wonder whether you ever had mother, or
home, or anything to do. So be it. You
will probably be taken for what you are
worth, and one of these years if you do not
make worse than shipwreck of yourself,
you will begin to wonder where the charms
are that once you thought yourself pos
sessed of, and what evil spirit could have
so bef0Oled you. AVIS
