A teacher in one of the grammar schoo

A teacher in one OF the grammar schools
was explaining to her class about idioms.
Some time lates one of the children hap
pened to use the expression 'Troth and l
will" The teacher asked where the child
had heard 1t. LThe girl said her mother
sometimes used the words. well, it's an
Irish idiom," said the teacher, thinking that
thus she could impress the meaning Of the
word idiom. A few days later good
natured Irish woman came to the school
and asked for the teacher and said to her:
"Now l know you wouldn't and didn't say
anything of the kind, but my little daugh-
ter says you said was an irish idiot. I"
The woman WIS very sensible, and the
teacher saw there had been mistake and
she said 50. The little girl was called up,
and there and then learned just what an
Irish idiom is. The mother helped to get
the idea into her heap.-New York Sun.

The advance. Of Chicago, gives the re
suit Of general canvass among the dele
gates of the national republican convention,
after the platform had been reported, by
Major Mckinley, without temperance
plank. There seemed to be no ''grievous
disappointment among the delegates" We
are told that ''even the Kansas delegation
was sweetly serene" Why shouldn't II
be? Its members probably understood the
situation as well as anybody could. Kan
sas, I" said leading delegate, '.subordinates
its judgment to that Of the whole party"
1--WE have settled the question for our
selves" said another; ''let the other states
follow the example of Kansas and there
will be no temperance question" 81 am q
temperance man," said the mayor of q
leading city in Virginia, land this is q
great question in the south. But in practi-
cal politics we have found that the temper
ance issue is generally used as club with
which to break the republican party's head.
Whenever anybody makes an honest effort
at reform and does not try to kill our party,
am with him." This" said still an
other, sis question Of personal conduct,
private morals, il you please. and not a
a question OF politics." ''Wait until we
get back into power," said another. mo
body thought that a mistake had been
made" says the Advance man, ''and II
was plain that sll ihe delegates had eaten
their dinner with the usual RELISH" From
gentleman who was not delegate, who
was present during the discussion in the
committee, the advance representative
learned that the arguments used by the op-
position ran somewhat as follows:
Wisconsin delegates urged that temper
ance plank would crush them In their state.
They were even moved to tears by their
fears in this direction. Others argued that
nothing which they could say would satisfy
the radical temperance people, and to adopt
q weak plank would simply result In expos
ing the party. to ridicule. Again, 1t was
said that the time has not yet come. To
make temperance declaration now would
be as much of mistake as 1t would have
been for Lincoln to issue his emancipation
proclamation curing the first three months
Of his administration. He waited until
the logic of events and change of
sentiment brought the hour. He was
great because even In so momentous mat
ter he was willing to wait until the time
had come. Let the republican party imi-
tate his example, and it may yet solve the
great social problem. In four years from
now, 1t was further said, sentiment will be
much stronger, the territories will also have
become states and republican strongholds.
Then we shall be in better position to do
something. Our business now Is to get back
into power. And you know that every
party has to make this fiie condition on
which it expects to bring things to pass.
Later, in postscript, the editor Of the
Advance says:
At the last moment resolution, which
will be found elsewhere, was unanimously
adopted amid shouts Of applause, many of
the delegates rising to their feet.

The Lost Louisiana Mine at Bear
City, Ark, has romantic history con-
nected with 1t. Stories of this mine,
II Is said, reached the ears Of Columbus
and the early voyagers and stlmula-
ted many hardy spirit to renewed
exertion. The mine was worked for
many centuries by the aborigines, but
1t Is doubtful whether the Spaniards
ever penetrated the secret paths that
conducted to it, as every precautlon
was taken to lead them astray. De-
Soto lost his life and was buried In the
Mississippi river as the result Of too
much curiosity in searching for the
Lost Louisiana. The Indians covered
up their works, and ii was left to q
keen-ayed miner from the Rocky
Mountains to reveal the long lost and
almost forgotten mines. The Ozark
Mountains are tunneled to a wide ex>
tent aud ruins of ancient works are
found in great numbers in the vicinity
of Bear City. The ancient method o
reducing ore Is unknown.

The Madison Times cannot reconcile

the subject of a free ballot and lar

Times gives vent TO its protest against

lows;
Not Democratic paper in the State
has yentured to challenge the STRICT
ures made in the Times OF March "a,
on Gov. McEnery. 1t is hard to over
come cold facts, and Gov. McEuery
did publicly pledge himselfto to see that
there should be free vote and fair
count. Gen. Nichols never wanted
ANYTHING else, and it has been the
proud boast Of the public men OF
Louisiana, that the Stale was Demo.
cratic on a fair vote. The Times
Democrat ana the States both, stouuy
maintain that there is to be free vote
and a fair count, and place implicit
confidence in Gov. McEnery's Fleuge

Governor can't mean that he Will see
to il. that there shall be free vote and
a fair count, and that in order to Sc
cure it he will countenance suspension
of the law until the count is accom-
piished. If he intends that there shai
be "A fair election, there is no occasion
for a suspension Of the law. a free
vote and fair count don't run hant
in hand with a suspension of the law

for the past seven days or correspond
ing week Of former years.
PRECIPITATION.
With tho exception of slight show
or In Orleans parish on the evening Of
the 9Th, no rain has fallen in the state
during the past seven days. This ab.
sence of precipitation has been very ia
vorable for farmers of every kind, as
the soil had been thoroughly saturated
from the excessive rains Of March.
SUNSHINE.
The percentage of sunshine during
tho week has been above the average
throughout the state, and has effected
the growing crops very favorably.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The general condition Of the weather
during the past seven days has been
all the farmers could have desired.
The excessive rains of March, the low
temperature and absence OF sunshine
greatly rets rded farm work and seri-
ousIy effected tho growing crops, de-
laying the season from two to three
weeks, but tho warm weather, tho
abundance of sunshine and lack Of pre-
cipitatiOn has enabled the farmers to
make rapid progress In spring work !;
planting Is becoming general, cotton Is
doing finely and in.many parishes corn
IL up.
Buffalo gnats are reported making
| their appearance In tho northern sec.
| ton but as yet no damage Is reported
