The Free Press of Morgan City
comes back at the Thibodaux Sen
TlNEL'S article in reply to the Don
jacksonville Chiefs editorial "kel
logg VS.. Gay" and spreads him
self for an entire column on the sub
ject.
1t says that it has had much to
do with the elections of Kellogg in
past years and never knew of IL dol
lar being spent except for lesiti
mate expenses. Well, the lesiti
mate expenses We're made to secure
kellog.'S election, and it Mr.. Gay
spent money to secure his own
election they ought to be legi
tlmate also.
Our distinguished confrere says
.'that it is still a mooted question
whether Cleveland was elected or
not.' There are sore heads yet
around here that do not r~ealize..that
fact. 1t is no doubt difficult for
some men to comprehend that fact.
The wonderful feat Of placing the
immaculate fraud from Ohio in the
Presidential CHAIR 10 1876, is calcu
lated 10 make the election OF a Dem
crat something difficult to the com
prehension of an ordinary Re publ
eau.
The Free Press says that Kellogg
beat Acklen & B.atlie both, and
wants TO know how Gay oveIcame
the majority that Kellogg obtained
in previous elections, seeing that
Blaine beat Cleveland in this Con
gress dis riot 1900 vo;es.
Well there IA no contest against
Blaine here. Everybody knew
that he could not carry Louisiana
and no fight was made against his
election.
The result only shows that about
1000 sensible Republicans voted for
Gay and about 500 Democrats were
deluded into voting for Blaine.
1t seems to be utterly imcompre
hensible for the average Republi
can in Louisiana to comprehend
the 5act that one VI their party
would vote for 4 Democrat.
The Free Press winds up its arti
cl 9 by a huge attempt at n joke.
1t says that Mr.. Gay has no in1u
ence in Congress aud 'cannot get
an appropriation of a dollar"
THE Republican Senate will op
pose everything "that he attempts
to get for this District"
1t strikes us that that would be a
compliment no other Rep resenta
tive in Congress will have had paid
him.
If MI. Gay requires the entire
Republican party in the Senate to
watch him he must have some lnfu
ence.

The Man Who Did HOuSewOrk.

Translated from the NOrwe gan, by Nellie
V. Anderson.
There was once a man who was
cross aud peevi>b, because he
thought his wife never did enough
in the house.
He came home one evening from
the hay field, cursing and scolding,
till things seemed to fairly glow
around him.
"Dear, don't be so angry said
the woman ; Sin the morning we
will change work. l will so out
with the hay workers, and NOW,
while you do the work at home"
Yes, the man thought this Il good
idea, and vas very willing to show
her = thing or two.
So early in the morning tho wo
mar took the scythe, and. went OUT
in the meadow with the rest, to
NOW. The man was there to work
in the house. First, he made ready
to churn but after churning
awhile, feeling very thirsty, he
went down in the cellar to tap some
beer. While doing this, he heard
the pig in the kitchen. he ran up
stairs, leaving the faucet open. AT
the sight of him the pig ran against
tie churn with disastrous cOnse
quences. When the man saw this
mischief done, and the pig greedily
smacking and slipping of the stream
that ran over the floor, he was ready
to fly with rage, and completely
forgetting the beer barrel, he pun
ished the pig as best he could. He
reached it again in the door, and
gave it mighty kick that killed it
ON the spot.
Now he remembered leaving the
faucet open, but on going to the
cellar all the beer had run out. He
then went to the milk-rOom, and
again found enough cream to fill
the churn, for butter he must have
for dinner. When he had churned
a while he remembered that the
COW was yet in the stable, and had
received neither bite nor sup,
and it was late in the day. Think
ing it would take too long to 60 to
the pasture, concluded to put her
on the sod roof, on which grew
short green grass. As the hut lay
by q steep side hill, he thought by
laying a plank from that to the
roof, it would be an easy matter to
get the COW W.. But he dared not !
leave the cturn, for the baby was
crawling around GU the floor, and |
might upset it; so he took the
churn Oh his back, thinking he
would give the COW some water be
fore putting her on the roof. Lean
ing down 10 dip water from the
well, down came the contents Of
the churn deluging his head and
neck, then dripping iuto the we'll.
1t was now near dinner time, aud
as there wasno BUTTER he thought to
cook mush, and Immediately hung
a kettle of Water over the fire. But
now he bethought himself, that the
cow might fall Of the roof and break
her legs, or neck, so he must 60 up
to tie her. One end of the rope he
bound around the cows neck, and
dropping the other through the
chimney, he went down and tied it
around his leg, for the water was
boiling in the kettle, aud he must
make the mush. While doing this
the COW fell off the roof aud dragged

The Capitolian Advocate, that al
lows no opportunity to pass to
abuse. President Gevelaud,s Ad
ministration, devoted a column to
that purpose on last Saturday, un
der one Of Shakespeare's famous
productions.
Speaking of the contest now go
ing on between the Republican
Senate and the President in refer
ence to the power Of the executive
in removing officers the CA says:
The President, will have to lean
for support in the impending con
t1ict upon the musketeers he has re
ctnited in the rear guards of both
parties, and amol.g the s nctimo
NOUS Independents, who are ready
to sacrifice themselves on the altar
of their country for any party that
has an office to give them. For
that class of patriots no tears will
be shed, whatever becomes of them.
Democrats will have regrets only
for the comparatively small
number of their staunch brethren
who will lie made to suffer by hav
ing been brought into so unconge
NAL u compaLionship.
The CA appears to have worked
itself mp into the delusion that, III
its opposition to the President and
his policy, the Democracy Of Louisi
ana is following it's banner. In
this our distinguished conirele is
most woefully mistaken. He will
find that tho masses Of the Democ
racy are going to uphold and sus
tain the President until his policy
Is shown, BY its results, to be detri
mental to the country and to tie
party that nominated and elected
him to be the chief executive of the
nation.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends did not
expect that he would make no mis-
takes. In the immense number of
appointments that he has had to
make. it would be more than hu
man, if no errors had been commit
ted, especially when he had to
choose between two factions, with no
compromise ground betweenthem.
In the impending conflict the
masses of the democratic voters
r going to support him. aud stand
by him and if there be "any rear
guards Of both parties" the CA will
find itself conspicuously among
them: and there will be '"no tears
shed for that class of patriots" in
the ranks of the Democratic party,
1t the CA wishes to take it's posi-
ton with them it has an undoubt
ed right to do So,
Four-ffths of the Federal Offices,
at this late day, are yet in the
hands of the Republicans, and
among the other fifth, only a
sprinkliDg of heart-of.oak Demo
Gratis have been rewarded Tor a life
time OF devotion to their party.
Our able contrere must have
been worried with the Montana
blizzard to print any such asser
tons a. the above.

the exception OF Kernochan who,

Cd the tack, but who supported

SEA ssRpENTs EXPLAINED.

In reference 10 letter which APP
peared in the Times, headed 1.-The
Sea Serpent Once More" perhaps
the following story will throw some
light on what the Rev. Mr.. Highton
saw and on sea serpents in general.
In 184S | was attached 10 her mai
esty's ship st. Vincent, bearing the
fay of Sir Charles Napier, and
lying at Spithcad. One summer
evening about 6 o'clock, just AS the
officers were sitting down 10 dinner,
the midshipmen of the watch ran
into the ward-room and reported
that a sea serpent was passing
rapidly between the ship and the
Isle of Wight (this was after the
reported appearance of the Dadalus
sea serpent). We all got our glasses
and went on deck, and there, sure
enough, about mile off, was
large monster, with head and
shaggy name about one hundred
feet long, and tapering toward the
tail it was going with the tide, and
had a rapid, undulating motion.
Two or three boats were manned,
and some officers got their guns and
went in pursuit. We watched them
from the ship; they gradually got
close, and guns were raised and
leveled at the creatures head but
just as we thought the sport was
about to begin, down went the guns,
and from their gestures we saw
something very laughable had oc-
Cured. On their return we found
that the supposed serpent was
long line of soot. Some steamer in
the Southampton waters had evil
IDENTIFY swept her dirty flues, and
the SCOT from tubes or hues is
always of very sticky nature, and
as it was pitched overheard it went
away with the tide, sticking to-
gether, and gradually forming into
the shape of long serpent, the
wave motion giving it an undulat-
ing, life-like appearance. In this
case, if the boats had not gone we
should have all believed we had
seen the real serpent, and this "ar-
rangement in SCOT" is evidently
what Mr.. Highton saw. The curl
he describes toward the tail end
arose from an occasional wave hav-
ing little more than ordinary velo-
city, and carrying its dusky crest
for moment along with it, while n
strong tide and fair wind would
give considerable velocity. My
story will, l think, supply a raison
detre, not only for Mr.. Highton's
sea serpent, but probably for the
whole brood Letter to London
Times.

COMING EVENTS.

correspondent, under date of August
3Oth, telegraphs: ''To-night 1 OBJ
tanned the details of what the world
is likely to learn much to its excited
interest within few days. The
conclusion that my informant draws
from it all is that the greatest war
of the century is close at hand. The
facts come in part from a gentleman
who dined at Jugenheim with Bat
tenberg's father on Saturday night,
and in part from a diplomat tempo
rarily here for purposes of consulta-
ton. The secret of the Franzenbad
interview is that M. de Giers urged
Prince Bismarck earnestly to pre-
vent Prince Alexander's return to
Bulgaria. Bismarck declined to
commit himself, took the matter dd
referendum and shortened the inter-
view almost abruptly. A great
amount of telegraphing between
Berlin, Vienna, London, Rome and
Constantinople ensued. Whether
NJ. de Giers got an answer before
his unexpectedly hasty departure, is
not known; but the result was that
Prince Alexander was not restrained
from going to Bulgaria. Mr.. Las
celles, the British Consul-General,
who was spending his vacation here,
started post haste for Sofia the same
night to represent English interests
in the trying time now at hand.
Mr.. Lascelles hastens, as does
Prince Alexander, to forestall fire.
eater Dolgorouki, who is reported
to be on the way to Sofia. He will
be received coolly with strict
courtesy, not affronted, nor recog-
nized, but there is doubt whether he
will really go to Sofia. Indeed, the
secret information here is that he is
likely 10 go to Athens and thence to
Macedonia. 1t is known that Rus
sian gold has been going in great
quantities through Greece to fer
ment rising in Macedonia, which
is expected to occur daily. 1t is
believed to be certain that the pres
sure of Germany, Austrian and Eng
land has gained Turkey over once
more and the Porte will authorize
Alexander as tributary Prince to
enter Macedonia, subdue it and in
corporate it as part of his dominions
held under the Porte with view of
the eventual formation of the King
dom of Bulgaria.
Against this plan is set the practi-
cal certainty that Russia will at
tempt to occupy Bulgaria, when she
will be resisted by Austria, Turkey,
Roumelia, Bulgaria and Servia.
This will enable Germany to hold
aloof, keep France in awe and satisfy
the Kaiser, whose scruples have long
delayed collision between Teuton
and Muscovite. My informant lays
great stress upon the strength and
sufficiency of these scruples, but be-
lieves the Kaiser is angry at the
pira'ical indignity offered Prince
Alexander, and has consented to let
Austria and Turkey undertake the
task of chastisement. Short and
heated diplomatic work is coming.
England is believed to be ready to
assume the lead, and it is felt far
more probably than it was Saturday
that, eventually, she will take a
hand in the fight. 1t is serious
fact that the most trusted men in
the English foreign service believe
tonight that war is inevitable. Two
war correspondents on London
papers start for Bulgaria to-mor-
row.
