A Sharks Mistake.

he crowded tobacco into his pipe for
another smoke. "Sharks is an ami

A couple of years ago l took party
out after weak fish, in the yacht Mary.
We were anchored up in Bay No. 3,
and the fish were biting like smoke,

he ran around under the stern to read

A Joker Caught.

Gay Tippleton is great practical
joker. AT country house not long
ago, when the ladies had retired for
the evening, the gentlemen congregat-

ing in here without taking the trouble
to go upstairs and change your
coat. If you do it again | shall
have those claw-hammer tails cut off,"
Next evening-scene repeated
young Evart strobe into the smoking
room with his dress coat on. With
out more ado Gay AM a few congen-
ial spirits had young Evart down on
a couch and cut the tails off his coat.
Evart took it very coolly. He strobe
up to the fire, and stood in the atti-
tude the ladies allege to be the favor
ite one for the male sex.
"You take it very philosophically,"
said one of Gay Tippleton's friends.
"Oh," replied Evart, "it doesn't
matter to me. It's not my coat; its
Tippleton's garment. l knew he'd
keep his word, so just dropped into
his room in passing, and put on his

went out in the Mary for sheephead.
He went up to No. 3 and cast anchor,
and then sot down in his usual posi-
tion-his right leg hanging over the
port quarter, and his foot jist touch
ing the water. He hadn't been there
ten minutes when along came a shark
and cut that leg off below the knee
as slick as chopper could have done
it. The captain had skeercely real
lied his loss afore the fish came back
with the leg, give himself u hist and
twist, and the bloody meat was flung
back into the boat. For why? Be-
cause the shark had discovered that
he had bit the wrong man. He was
after nae, and he got Small. He had
nothin' agin Small, and he cheerfully
brought back the leg when he discov-
cred his mistake. The captain he
died of the bite, but not before / had
explained things, and the last thing
he said was that he forgive the shark" ;"

THE IRERIA ELECTION.

Gov. McEnery has designated Tuesday.
November 2, sls the date for holding the
special election for District Judge in the
Iberia district. This will be the date of
the Congressional election and the action
Of the Governor in selecting it is to be
commended, both on the score Of economy
and the increased chances afforded for a
free ballot and fair count Judges Fonte-
lieu land Gates, erstwhile rival claimants
Of the Judgeship, are both reported to
have declared they will not be candidates,
and the absence of this disturbing feature
ought to remove any pretext for the en-
ployment Of ouch nasans as were used in
1884 to carry the district in opposition to
the will OF the majority Of its voters.
The reason assigned by the friends of
Judge Gates for bis unwillingness to be,
come candidate is m a7owed determine
ton on his part to retire from further ac-
tive participation in politics; and Judge
Eontelien could not enter the field without
a virtual REIMBURSEMENT of his claim that
he is rightfully entitled to the Office by vir-
tue Of election in 1884, an acknowledge
meat hat he unwilling to make.

Wenon,ah Ball.

The second annual open air ball OF the
Wenonah Social Club, given at the house of
Mr.. Theo. Fernandez, IN the parish of
Assumption, on the evening Of the 21st
inst, was perfect success. The dancing
platform was placed to the right Of the
grounds under a cluster Of trees, the
branches Of which interlacing overhead
formed natural arches from which de-
pended artificial festoons Of moss, leaves
and flowers, the whole Illuminated by
myriads of Chinese lanterns Of variegated
hues. Just opposite the house was raised
the monogram of tie club formed with
different colored lamps and to the left was
laid the supper and refreehment tables.
Long before the arrival of the Independent
Band, which furnished music for the occa-
sion, crowds of invited guests had reached
the place and we're entertained BY the
firing off of sky-rockets and other fire
works. The dancing was commenced at
about half past 8 O'Clock and was kept up
until broad day light. From II to an early
hour of the morning the supper tables we're
crowded.
1t is impossible to state exactly thsp num-
Der of persons present, but from the fegis-
ter kept of the visitors it was estimated
that there must have been between seven
and eight hundred. There were at one
time some forty-two sets of dancers on the
floor. Altogether it was grand affair and
the Wenonah Social Club we'll deserves the
reputation for success thoroughly achieved
which it has 40 justly gained.

Our Neglected Industries.

EDITaa CHIEF: July, 1885.
During discussion in the Senate few days
agoon the Post-office Appropriation Bill some
facts Of interest to American workingmen were
d.welt on by the advocate of the policy sf Pro-
lection. Referring to the report OF the Labor
Commissioners, in which it was stated thst one
million Of men were out ofwork in the country.
Senator Frye pointed out the fact that we inn
ported last year from Britain $37, 100000 worth
of cotton goods. although we raised the cotton.
and every dollars worth Of these fabrics could
and ought to l,sye been made here. thereby CIV
ing employment to at least one hundred thou
sand men. He showed. moreover, that we I'M
ported last year S4s, 100000 worth of wooden
goods, $4,000, coo worth of iron and steel man
ufactures, $19,M0,OOO worth Of linen, $4,000
worth Of iute. and $s7. 100000 worth Of silks,
all Of which we could have manufactured our
selves and thereby have given employment to
half a million more of our idle people. Replying
to the objections Of those who. while quite wll-
ling to pay the steamers Of foreign nations
whatever sum they chose to demand for carry
ing our mails were opposed to paying our own
vessels reasonable compensation for the same
service. Mr.. Frye called attention to the fact
that Britain last year, paid moro money for
carrying her maids to South and Central Amer
lea alone than the United States pay in any two
years for carrying all her mails the world over.
She paid last year s1l.7oo, 600 for her mails to
China, Japan and Anstralia. and we paid S11 600
The effect OF this is seen in the fact that
Britain through her well paid steamship lines
to all parts of the world is enabled to find mar
kets everywhere for her manufactures, and
that the United States under the present system
is utterly unable to compete with her in this
respect. If American manufactures are desired,
for instance in Brazil they must usually be first
sent to Liverpool on English vessels, and after
such delay there as will suit the purpose Of
British merchants or manufacturers they will be
forwarded to the South American Empire
This state of things should not be allowed to
continue. Great as would be the advantage to
American work ing1len of having markets for
their productions easily accessible in all parts
of the world, the direct advantages accruing to
them from a revival of our ship-building trade
would be no less important. Tens OF thousands
of men would find remunerative employment in
building vessels required for our purposes and
labor would no longer seek in vain it's Just
reward. 1t is of the utmost importance to the
nation at large to encourage this too-long neg
looted kraoch OF industry, and the National
Legislature will shoY its wisdom and patriot
,sm BY taking immediate steps to revive and
maintain it. PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
