The New York Sun in an extract
which we publish elsewhere, tells in a
few words the difference between a
democrat and republican. A demo-
crat is one who believes Gin the inde-
pendent self-government, as far as the
constitution allows, of the town, the
county and the State" There are 9th
.er blocks in the edifce but this is at
once the foundation and chief corner
stone. How many politicians in Louis
lana who blatantly proclaim their dem
.ocracy would be shown to be the mer-
est frauds, when measured by this plain
rule of democracy How many of
those who boast of being the regular
democracy would join in an effort to
restore to the parishes Of this State the
right of independent self government 2
How many would join the true DEM
Ocrats in denouncing and remedying
the vicious and undemocratic practice
which, obtains here, that of the COVER
nor issuing commissions to the munich
pal officers of every town in the State,
and in numerous instances assuming
the right to appoint them ? How many
of the Irregular democracy will join
hands with the reform elemeet of the
party ID bringing the ship of State back
into the open channel? That is a more
important question than all others in
Louisiana. Who shall control the fed
eral offices. and who can count the
most noses-are rot the vital questions
of the hour. Who will prove his dem
ocracy by assisting to put the party in
this State upon a true democratic basis +?
That is the alI-important question. No
man that excuses, palliates or defends
the exercise of the extraordinary pow
ers of the governor Of the State Of
can claim to be a democrat.
A democratic government which takes
away from the people the right of local
elf government is as much Of fraud
md sham as was the individual who
stole the livery Of Heaven to serve [

Ten years ago when we first went
to Mr.. Henry Welsh's where the village
of Welsh now stands, on the Louisiana
Western railroad, about twenty miles
this side of Lake Charles, the only
buildings there were his residence and
stable. There is now quite little
town, grown up since the construction
of the railroad, comprising several
stores, residences, church, ETC., besides
the railroad buildings; and a good
school is always kept going in the vici-
nifty. All the land in that neighbor-
hood, except what he donated to the
railroad for track and sold for town
lots, belongs to Mr.. Welsh. On ac-
count of the recent death of lis wife,
all his property is advertised for sale,
consisting of town lots large quantity
of wood and prairie land, much of it
cultivated in rice, lot of movable
property, live stock, etc. The sale will
take place there on October first, 1885,
as advertised in the Lake Charles pa
pers. The town of Welsh is beautiful
ly situated on high rolling prairie, a
few hundred yards from Bayou Laca-
sine woods. The lands to be sold offer
inducements to persons who want to
invest in town lots, to grow rice, or en-
gage in stock raising; and all such
should attend the sale on October first

obeyed, but now they seem completely
forgotten. / dined yesterday at the
Cafe de PEuropc. Each Berlin rcstau-
rant has its fixed dinner for the day,
and you are expected to take it. The
first thing, and a terror, is the dish OF
hors d d'puvres--a vast rotating plat
ter, about three feet in diameter, cov-
cred with small dishes, at least twen-
ty in number, each dish containing a
so-called appetiser: Italaenischer
all sorts of picked things unknown
elsewhere. Three Germans seated at
table next to me called at the start
for champagne, and took enough of
the hors d'@uvres to exhaust any non
German hunger. AS 10 the dinner,
can not (and could DoD 90 through
with it. Everything was cooked to
death, and everything was swimming
in the vilest of sauces.
Berlin is yet most delightful city,
and if Mr.. Pendleton will present half
n dozen Americans at court every win
ter, so as to give Americans the So
cial position they have not hitherto
enjoyed, there is no reason why the
American colony should not rival that
of Paris. Above all others, Berlin is
the place for work Every body is do
ing something, studying something.
The people you meet, of whatever ma
tion they may be, look as if they were
making the best of their time, and not
worrying with the idea that they were
too young or too old to take hold of
ANYTHING. In classic art Berlin has
won the lead. The Pergamos marbles
must be seen and closely studied by
everyone who would know nything
of Greek sculpture. Their creator was
the Giulia Romano of antiquity. l
was at once taken hack to the Palazzo
del Te. Such vast richness of sculp-
ture has not been given to scholarship
since the time of Lord Elgin.
Let me close this long letter with q
story of his lordship's name; Once
upon time neophytish professor
was lecturing at Yale college on the
Elgin marbles. At the end of the
lecture up stumped anything but n
neophytlsh professor, and said to the
lecturer: ado you say Elgin or
Ely g(h)in" Chat is, with the @ soft or
hard). Il say Elg(h)in of course"
(g hard), answered the neophyte. "ln
the course OF your lecture you said
both Elgin and Elg(h)in. Good eve
ming" And all without II smile.

The Volume of the Thames.

Besides n number of other interest
inc details about the river Thames in
and near London, the evidence taken
before the royal commission on sewage
discharge gives in tabular form some
new information respecting the quantity
of water which comesperiodically over
the weir at Teddlngton. Observations
were carefully taken during period
of about seventeen months, from
June, 1888, to Ocvober III last year,
and the results are recorded IN II re-
port which shows exactly how the
volume of water varies from time to
time, according TO the time of year
and the abundance of rainfall. The
smallest amount found to have flowed
past the weir in one day was 2l3, ,000,-
600 gallons, which was all that came
down on the 25th of August, last year.
But the average for the latter half Of
that month was barely $50, 600, 900, as
compared with about 10000, 600 for
the corresponding period in the pre-
vious year. The differences between
these figures and those which are re-
corded in other parts of the year is
very remarkable. The highest volume
observed to pass the well was 4, 1877
600, 900 of gallons on the 9th of
November, 1883 but the daily average
for that month was under 1000, 600,
600, though it was considerably high
er than the total for any other month
included in the observations. The ct-
feet of a sudden down-pour is seen in
the record for last June, when after
about fortnight, during which flow
of water past Teddlngton had been
well under $4,000 cubic feet per min
ute, it rose at once to over 100, 600.
The drought of last autumn is, OF
course, clearly traceable in the returns.
The average for October, for instance,
is scarcely 10000, 600 of gallons,
whereas in the preceding October it
was reckoned at close upon 1000 000..
600. -LO1ldOn Globe.

Buried in a Mine.

Veteran miners and trappers tell
some remarkable stories. All their
efforts seem to be directed toward a
startling climax, without thought to
the opinion they may give listeners re-

their seats together-one an evident
veteran of the mines, and the other
an individual whose appearance SEEM

They sat for few moments in
silence, but the formers desire to be
sociable finally overcame the lack OF
acquaintance, and, turning to his
