Hugh Aquila's nose was both broad and

to say, he had sympathy, which is almost as
valuable a quality for a young doctor as for

some known in hospital wards who spend as
much of their lives as they possibly can in
these comfortable places. But no one ever
saw a sister laugh except Hugh; and the eff

cardinal should dance a hornpipe or a bishop
perform a breakdown. Some of the babies
felt it like q note out Of harmony, and began
the preliminary cough which, as every pere

bawl and the promenade about the bedroom.
Calista, perhaps, received the cough as a
warning; the laugh did not occur again, and,
be-i1es, to SO sweet a sister everything must
be allowed. Therefore the cough preliminary
was not repeated, and none Of the babies
really began to cry.

4sThe Morehouse Clarion has got
hold of the report by some means that
the following political slate has been
fixed up in New Orleans For Gov
eaner, Clay KnOblock-; for u. s. Sena-
tor as Gibson's successor, E. A. Burke;
for Associate Justice of the supreme
court, to succeed Todd, s. D. McEnery.
There is no certainty of this being the
exact slate, but, if there is anything
in the signs Of the times, it is 50 near
correct in the main that we can look
for lively times in the next State

The above is from the Colfax CHRoN-
ICLE and we can assure our contemp0-
rary that the "report" Is founded on
reliable evidence and was secured
from good authority. To materialize
this "report" may, rs the CHRoNIciE
suggests, provoke some 'lively times

times in this State. The Clarion gen.
orally speaks from the correct text and
seldom fails to speak facts.--More-

advocating the denomination of
Hon. N. G. Blanchard, which calls
forth communication from that
splendid old Democrat, Mr.. j. r.

the editorial referred to and con-
cludes his letter as follows
If we have a man in Congress who

when we have one who is doing his

Editor CoJar Chronicle:
Allow me space in the columns
of your worthy paper to say that l,
like Mr.. Lightwood Knot, think it
nothing more than justice that the
court house of Grant parish be
moved to the center; but let it be
placed there for the justice and
convenience of her citizens, and
not to protect transient hog thieves
and give them rein over her older
and better citizens, who have ad-
vocated civilization, fought for and
protected their country against
mobs, thieves, and all other disor-
derby bands more than half a CEN
fury. 1t is not reasonable for any
man of intelligence to suppose that
nine old citizens of this kind would
come together, and, on weak cir
cumstantial evidence, make Parson
Daniels or any other neighbor
abandon his home without salts
factory evidence of a good cause.
As for Parson Daniels being run
from his home by a mob, that is
either a justi6able mistake or a
malicious falsehood. He was APP
preached in broad daylight by q
few of his neighbors who author
lied and advised him to remain at
home long enough to complete his
present crop, provided he would

Mrs. Lucille Yseulte Dudley,
who, in February of last year, shot
ODonovan Rosa, and who, since
her trial, has been confined in the
insane asylum at Middletown, has
been transferred to the asylum for
insane criminals at Auburn. About
a month ago an effort was made to
secure her release on the condition
that she should return to England,
but the plan failed, because nobody
in this country could be found
ready to pay her expenses. The
State Board of Charities was then
appealed to to effect her return,
but refused to act, on the ground
of lack of funds to pay her passage.
She went to Auburn willingly.
