A CreditabIe Achievement.

A CreditabIe Achievement.
The surplus in the United States
Treasury is rapidly increasing. The
receipts are large beyond expectation
and the economy that has been in
augurated has materially reduced the
expenditures.
There is no special virtue in a large
surplus, except as it affords the OPP
portunity to reduce the debt. But
there is virtne in the fact that the
collecting agencies of the Govern
ment are more efficient or else more
honest, and that the extravagant
expenditures have been Topped off.
The Republicans stated, pending
the Presidential election, that the
success of the Democratic party
would ruin the credit of the country.
The experience proves that it has
given the credit of the country e.
traordinary strength. It looks as
though it would be possible to cancel
one hundred and eighty millions Of
dollars of bonds within the year be-
ginning with the first of the present
month.
What an extraordinary achieve
ment that will be- twill prove that
the Republicans were dishonest in
collecting the revenues and extrava-
CANT in disbursing them. And it will
reduce the interest charge of the
Government over $1,000, 900 year.
Hon. James Louis Lobdell, Regis
ter of the State Land Office, died at
Baton Rouge Monday night. He
leaves wife and ten children. He
was born in East Baton Rouge parish
Feb. 16, 1888, and educated at Ken
yon College, Ohio. He was a mem
Der of the General Assembly of Lou
isiana in the historical session OF
1873, which was dispersed by the
Federal military authority. He was
active in the Masonic bodies of Lou
isiana for more than twenty years,
having held the Offices of Grand Mas
ter Of the Grand Lodge, Grand High
Priest of the Grand Chapter of Royal
Arch Masons, and Thrice Illustrious
Grand Master of the Grand Council
of Royal and Select Masters of Lou
isiana.
Mr.. Lobdell was an honest and
* efficient officer, a man of warm heart
and generous impulses, and during
the dark days Of Radical usurpation
and misrule in this State, he proved
himself to be a Democrat 'ssteadfast
in the faith"

The Art Of Opening Letters.

Philadelphia Call: The art of open
ing letters addressed to other people
and refastening them so that no one
will know is a profession in Spain. In
the p~ostoifice they have a dark cham
Der, where experts inquire into things,
and these have long since given up the
use Of steam for opening gummed COM
munications. Even red hot platinum
wire for letters sealed with wax is out
of date. The favOrlte means is with a
knife sharper than ii razor, VIII .ch is run
along the bottom of the envelope. The
letter having been extracted and then
replaced after the officials of the post
Office have learned what is going on,
a fine line of liquid cement is drawn
along the opening, the slightest pres
sure conceivable is applied, and the
letter is as whole as ever.

Religious Madness.

A painful case of religious madness
analogous to one that happened last
year near Melbourne has just taken
place in the Hautes Alps, near Brian
con, writes a Paris correspondent OF
the London News. Two sisters, named
Marie and Catherine Olaguer, aged re-
sp%ectively forty-scven and forty-fivc,
lived there on the kindest terms C1 a
little property which they had inherit
ed. They had also 10000 francs, which
was well invested. They were both
noted for their piety, and had a pro-
found belief in miracles and the super
natural. Last Monday morning Cath
crime told Marie that she had a vision
IN the night in which God appeared to
her and demanded a proof of her ODE
dience in sacrificing her sister. Marie
lent herself to this idea, which did not
appear to her at al strange. So after
devoutly hearing mass on Tuesday
mornr eng she came home to prepare
herself 10 be q Stcriflce. Catherine got
a sharp razor and cut with it into each
of the arms in front of the elbow and
into the instep of each foot. The vic
tim kept repeating: Jesus, Marie, my
hope, my Savior!' Catherine then
collected the blood to dry it and keep
it as a relic. When Marie was ~lifeless
her sister dressed the corpse in white
and went with the will of the defunct
TO a notary, to whom she related what
she had done. She also said that in
obedience to Gods command she had
burned all the debentures and scrip be-
longing to her sister. The number of
these had been, however, given to the
notary by Marie. Catherine has been
arrested, and will be subjected to an
Examination by doctors who make
lunacy ii special study.

Is great excitement here in Spiritualistic
circles about i5-year-old colored girl
named Chanc Ross, who lives in Third
avenue with her parents, who are lntells-
gent, respectable people. Last Sunday the
girl said she had been called to the spirit
world and would leave at z O'Clock and re-
turn at the next morning. She went to
sleep at the hour named and awoke precisely
at o'c ock She then related that she had
been called to the spirit land to bring back
warning to the people to prepare them
selves for great destruction of life and
property during the coming summer by
cyclones and floods; that the city is doomed
unless the danger can be averred by prayer.
She saw many relatives who have long
since been dead, and describes the place
visited as beautiful in the extreme After
talking about four hours she said she was
called TO leave again and said how long she
would be away or asleep, and awoke at the

''In addition. can assure you If one
thing, and that is, il the Panama ca,

American brain and pluck. The way
the present syndicate are engaged it
will take one hundred years to finish
the work
"The business is loosely conducted.
For sample, u brig sailed into the
harbor with cargo consisting OF
twenty-three thousand bushels of coal,
TO be used tor construction purposes.
The coal was paid for aud the vessel
sailed away. After lying among
the outlying Islands for somo days she
returned, reported the cargo, and re-
ceived pay in full second time.
This is only one instance.
Turning to the canal scheme, tho gen.
tleman remarked that the contract
system in Panama is only another
name for fraud of the most bare-faced
kind. A company in Panama, he said,
holds a contract for removing dirt
from the harbor. The dirt is soft-so
soft, in fact, that 1t runs, and, like wa
ter, it seeks its level. The company
has never to move its dredge, as the
place is constantly filling up. SO there
the thing remains working away to all
eternity, The dredgings are loaded
up and carried out TO sea and dumped

to the starting point. Il have seen,"
he concluded, working side by side,
two men on subcontracts, one of them
throwing the dirt from his excavation,
into the hole made by his companion,
so that the same dirt was costingtwo
prices for removal. 1 am not an en-
gineer, but l verify believe that the
only salvation for the harbor lies in
the adoption of the jetty system.
