He Was on to the Tr,ck.

"Good mornin'," he saluted as he passed in front of Michigan-avenue clothing store and placed a weary. looking traveling bag on box.
 The clothier who sat in his door in his shirt-sleeves eyed the stranger suspiciously and did not return the salute.
 "Can get good suit here for about SI6 '' inquired the man as he inspected some of the hanging gar- ments.
 The dealer made no answer. Indeed he kept his face turned away.
 Suppose l want to pay out about $50 Tn cash this morning-can you take it in?" continued the stranger.
 The dealer made no slgn.
 "rhere are five fellows over at the hotel who want new suits. If I bring 'em over l suppose you will at least thank me for my troubles" N
 No answer.
 "I say, old fellow, how much would you like to sell me wedding suit for cash down1" shouted the stranger, as he slapped the silent dealer on the shoulder.
 "rhen the silent dealer rose up and waved him off and replied:
 'I vhas on to you, my frent. Please pass on!'' .-.. ...
 "Why, what is it2"
 "Soap-three cakes for as cents remofs paint, grease, tar und so forth --eaiery family wants hin--special rates to der trade. IL vhas no use to shtop here."
 The stranger looked him in the eye for a minute, uttered "humph?" of disgust, and walked off as stiff as a crowblr.
 "It vhas all right" said the dealer, as he looked after him. "He tries on Gloze. und sells me some soap, and goes away und don't puy something, und l like to know if dot pays my rent und makes me belief I vhas full of peesness.

I'm to going Find My Mamma.
BY J. W. VAN KIRK,

The following lines were suggested by reading an account of little girl who, driven from home by the ill., treatment of a step-mother, boarded a passenger car, on which her childish mind remembered seeing her mother placed when she died. The conductor found her huddled up on a seat, cares sing an old della gift of her moth- CTS. When questioned she said she was going to find her mamma, who went to sleep in long box and was put on the cars. She did not want to be sent home, as her new mamma whipped her and put her in dark closet. A telegram was handed the conductor few stations further on, requesting him to send the clild back home; but when he went to the seat where he had placed her, the child was dead. Sorrow, the result of un- kindness, had done it's work.
 I'm going to find my mamma,
 The little trav'ler said;
 She was alone with "Dolly,"
 Her cheeks were pinched and red. want to find my mamma,

 Her own dear "little pet" f. Don't send me back to papa,
 For don't want to go;
 My other mamma'll whip me,
 Please let me stay with you.
 
 She's gone to join her mamma,
 In heavens nightly throne;
 No one was there to Scold her.
 She's found lasting home.
 And forever there will finger,
 In my ears the childish cry:
 ''l want to ind ny mammal

the bayou, and no will be surprised Mt this
who knows the members who compose the we'll
named Merry Makers"
The picnic commenced at about '12 II. The
writer did not get there before 1880, but Judging

Mary Leblanc, the charming young daughter
of Mr.. jos. E. Leblanc; Misses Jumonville 9,
Helluin. Jones and many others.
At o'clock the lovers of croquet assembled
to have game. in which DR.. E. T. Dugas and
lady joined. and while these were playing Gro
quet others we're giving them music ON the
piano.
Alta bell was heard, and the large crowd as
sembled for dinner. and although $50 persons
were there, the writer missed one, the editor of
the Donaldsonville CHEF. At about the crowd
began to increase, carriages came from every
direction. and among the new arrivals the wri-
ter was happy enough to notice the fair belle of
Napoleonville, Miss Lulie Sims, and the hand
some faces OF our young lawyers. Messrs. Vim
+. Howell and L. H. Pugh. A little later DR.. r.
B. Pueh and lady and Miss Ballard of Ascension
put in q welcome appearance. At 2 the dancing

Wednesday morning, June 80,
1885. at Woodstock. Ascension parish, La., ANN
X. DUNNINGTON. wife Of Judge Henry l.. Duff
81. aged IS years.
The sad event here recorded had been for
some time foreshadowed by the prolonged ILL
ness with which Mrs. Duffel was afflicted. and
the relatives and friends who deeply lament the
loss Of this noble woman, have the consolation
of knowing that the dispensation of Providence
which has SO sorely bereft them. gave her
blessed release from physical suffering. The
remains were escorted to the Church of Ascen-
sion, at Donaldsonville, Thursday morning, by
a large concourse of the kinspeople. neighbors
and friends of the deceased, and after the inn
pressive ceremonies of the Catholic ritual had
been performed by Rev. Father Dubernard, as
sisted by Rev. Simon, the body was reve1ently
consigned to the family tomb in the cemetery
near the church. The stores and other places
Of business the front streets OF the town
were closed during the passage of the funeral
cortege and until after the burial. an indication
of the general regret caused by the demise of
Mrs. Duffel and the deep sympathy and respect
for her honored husband.
The CHIEF tenders to Judge Duffel, and to
the son and daughters OF the lamented deceased,
assurance of profound coincidence with them in
their hour Of poignant grief and affection.
Great as the loss of this model wife and mother
is. it W. ull be UNNECESSARILY greater but for the
assurance offered by the teachings of Christi
anity that her spirit has gone to receive in CO.
lestial realms the reward of a terrestrial life of
purity, bcnevolence and devotion to duty, there
to await reunion with those who we're near md
dear to her on earth.

many creditable traits of character. He leaves

Much work has been done in the way of
cleaning out the street cutters of the town
during the past two weeks, and most of the
dirt taken from the bitches has been thrown
on the sidewalks to fill up low places. This
will prove decided improvement when the
dirt is smoothed out and dries, but for the
present it renders some of the banquettes
we'll nigh impassable.
