THINGS FOLKS DON'T KNOW.

the proper way OF spelling that great man 9

many gray horses and no gray colts. do
not know whether the egg began with the
hen or the hen started with the egg. can't
understand why we can't find the North
Pole when we know where it is. don't
know why matinee should come in the af-
ternoon. don't know why a man wears
buttons on the tail of his coat. l can't see
what earthly use an elephants tail is to
him. I don't understand why people in

and people in the country are crazy to come
to town. Why don't they change places at

except myself, seems to know already

THE MooN.-The May moon fuls on the
18th at Sb. AIM. p. NJ On the Let, at 7h.
36m Z. NJ, the waning moon, two days be-
fore her change, is in close conjunction with
Mercury, being G. north. The conjunction
is Invisible, but moon and planet may pos.
shly be seen on the morning of the I'd. On
the 4th, at 5h. pom. p. NJ, the new moon,
not yet day old, is in conjunction with
Neptune, being 80 IL south. This shows
how near the planet is to the sun at this
time. On the 7tb, at 4h. 43m. ?. NJ, the
moon is in conjunction with Saturn, being
A. 13< south. On the 18th, at III. I'm. A.
NJ, the moon is in conjunction with Mars,
being % g. south. On the 18th, at lob. 3Sm.
A. M the moon draws very near to Jupiter,
being 25/ south. The two bodies will not
be visible at the time of conjunction, but
they will be approaching each other during
the preceding night. On the 18th, at lob.

Wives as Companions.

1t has become the fashion to talk of girls,
as at present brought up, as more ornament
al than useful. Old bachelors occasionally
indulge in TRADES against woman's ignor.
ance of housekeeping. If these lay sermons
are correct, the only mission of wife is to
bake and sweep and sew. Now We do not
understand the importance Of such acquire.
ments. A girl has no right to marry poor
man if she is entirely ignorant OF household
matters, and most young men in this coun-
try are comparatively poor, and have their
fortune to make for themselves. But to be
ignorant of household affairs is one thing
to be drudge, or upper servant, Is another.
We have too often seen lively, pretty girl,
after few years OF marriage, sink into o
listless, careworn matron. A wife should
be something above mere menial. She
ought to be "helpmate," and no wife can
be that, in the higher sense of the term, un-
less she is a companion. Many an other
wise excellent woman, perfect in the order
ing of her household, and capable, when ne.
cessary, of working heartily herself, drives
her husband to the company of pothouse
companions because she is no companion
for him. We do not say that Doctors
wife should study medicine, or lawyers
wife study law, or a mechanics wife should
learn his trade in order to become COM
paniou TO her. husband. This is not what
we mean. But every man, even the most
illiterate, has his peculiar tastes and sympa-
thies anu it should be the business of
wife to discover them, to interest herself IN
them, and to be able to talk appreciatively
about them.
The poorer q couple are, unless in the
case of actual day laborers, the more they
are thrown together, and the more need
there is Of this companionship. With the
very rich, society occupies much of the time
of the wife, if not of the husband, and there
is, perhaps, less absolute need of this com.
panionship. But even with the very rich,
a capacity for companonship would add
greatly to the mutual happiness of husband
and wife, and often prevent sad family trsg-
edies Wives neglect not your household
duties, but be something more than mere
housekeepers-be intelligent companions to
your husbands.

FRIDAY, JUNE 4 Is
POLICE JURORS.

At a Joint Democratic cauc'
held at Baton Rouge last week
WAS decided that the Police Jurors
throughout the State be appointed
until 1892, and a bill to that effec
has already been introduced III 1h'
State Senate pursuant to THIS az
ton Of the caucus. Soon after th'
caucus convened Mr.. Foster Offered
the following resolutions:

Of this. caucus that the Police ''a

10 this Gen. Lewis, of st. Landry.
offered the following amendments
First; That the resolution should
for the siecti'sss t 81 ggSets IF @
Second; That the vote on the
original resolution should be pub
lished, so that the public might
know how their Senators and Rep'
resentatives voted on the question.
Both these amendments were re.
iected. Senators Lewis and Gas
kins aud Representatives Heard,
Wall. Adams, Wocoski. Shattuck,
Pritchard and Price withdrew from
the caucus.
It is certainly to be deplored
that this question should cause
dissension, but the gentlemen who
withdrew from the caucus were no
doubt actuated in their course by
an earnest and commendable zeal
in behalf o. Democratic principles.
We are very sure that a large ma.
jority Of the people in this parish,
and senatorial district, will un-
hesitatingly endorse the action
of Senator Gaskins and Represen-
tative Heard.
The Police Jury is legislative
body and It's ordinances ottentimes
more nearly and directly affect the
interests of the people than many
of the enactmcnts of the General
of the State. Bodies
having the local powers Of Police
Juries should be chosen by the
people. 1t is an essential part of
local self.government, and perfectly {
with the principles Of {
Democracy. The Legislature can
With equal propriety and consis-
tency pass an act prohibiting the :
people from electing their Senators t
md Representatives because few ;
parishes in tho State have . Re,
publican majority and will elect =
heir members. :,
We trust the measure making a
olice jurors appoiutive will he o.
oted down, and if it should ulti- y
lately pass, that Gov McEnery- .,
hose genuine Democracy is of an G,
character-will prompt. o,
, veto it as being subversive Of in
'e rights of the people. We are o. o.
favor of making the Office Of n,
olice Jurors elective, because we en-
.lieve that the principal of cleo. al
on as regards officials of this III
larscter is right, and the princi, m az
9 Of appointment wrong. St

bridge in the vicinity of Luling, while try

The fine Methodist church at Prairie Lea,

ladies' of that place and vicinity have had
charge of making collections and hope soon

A colored man was drowned the other
day at MONEYS mill near Prairie Lea
while attempting to rescue an orphan child
he had raised. The man was good swimmer,
but having ran some distance before reach
ing the river and become very warm, took
cramp as is supposed after entering the
water. The child was rescued by another
party.
Miss Mary Mooney, one of Coronal's
