a Negrcss for Postmistress.

The Times Democrat expresses our
sentiments exactly when it comments
us follows on the recent appointment
by the President of a negress for post
mistress at Eola, i'll the Parish of
Avoyelles:
There have been many outrages
perpetrated upon the people of the
South Ing the matter of the appoint
ment of. fourth class postmasters since
the present administration came into
power, hut it is doubted whether any
more fragrant insult has been offered
than the naming of negro woman for
postmistress of Eola, a town in Ayoy-
elles parish in this State.
The office has been held by Hon.
d. 3. Hudson, a large planter and
man of affairs, who has represented
his parish in the Legislature. There
was no complaint whatever of inefi-
cheney of service, and the people di-
rectly interested desired the retention
of MIR. Hudson, who accepted the posi-
ton only out of consideration for his
neighbors and friends. But it is not
of the removal of the postmaster that
we complain. 1t may be practical
politics, if not good government, to
have a change in the personnel of
postmasters with change of admins
tration. But to select a negro woman
for such an office is an insult and an
outrage. Nine-tenths of the mail mat
ter received at Eola goes to white peo-
pie, and it is an outrage to place me-
gress in such position.
The Bunkie Blade, from which we
gather the facts here given, speaks out
boldly on the subject. 1t declares
that certain Republican bosses in
Avoyelles were instrumental in bav-
ing the negress appointed, and de-
nonnces them in severe terms.
1t is to be hoped that the appoint
ment will be withdrawn. 1t is un-
wise, it is impolitic, and it is dis
grace.

BABY BoNDs.-In submitting their
report the Grand Jury IN New Orleans
ON the baby bond steal says:
There is no doubt that in February 1885,
the then Treakurer of the State, L. A..
Burke, ordered from the State Treasury
Mt Baton Rouge almost all the baby bonds
there held for the purpose OF exchange !;
that he received them in this city, and
after receiving them he replaced them on
the market. Some he placed as collateral
to secure loans and others he sold out
right. A large number are now III the
hands of citizens of this city. The num-
her maid in for taxes will probably not
exceed 5000. We feel justified in estima-
tiuy the Illegal issue of these bonds at
$50 900. Two indictments were tonnd in
blank, one for emhezztement, the other
forgery. They are presumably against
ak Treasurer Burke Attorney General
Rouers. in conversation with II newspaper
reporter to-day said: This ends the work
ofthe grand jury in the bond frand cases.
Suits will now be begun i'll the civil court
for the recovery of moneys lost to the
State, and the prosecution agoinst those
indicted will be pushed forward | am
of the opinion that at the next session OF
tho Legislature liberal sum will be Of
fercd as a reward for the apprehension of
ex-Treasurcr Burke should he rot be
found in the jurisdiction OF this court be-

This is from the New York Sun:
'sThe manager of a famous restaurant
frequented by the gourmets of the town
SAYS that his greatest concern is lest
they kill themselves by over-eating
aud thus lose him their custom. This
fear keeps him as busy devising plans
for making them take exercise as he is
in preparing novel dishes for them.
He advises horseback riding, dumb
bells, long walks, hard rubbing with
their own hands night and morning,
and a score of other means for promo
ting the circulation Of their blood.
But the more they eat the less they
want to exercise. Hence his alarm
and anguish"

An interesting fact in connection
with the steamship City of Paris is
that her total horse power under a
heavy load is 20,600-more than all
the power in the great manufacturing
cities of Manchester, Lowell and Law
renee, Mass, combined, and 33 per ct.
more than than the power of the great
engine which was operated at the Cen
tennial Exposition in 1876, which was
considered at the time the wonder OF
the age.

Remove the Tsrs.

A man who patronizes q ready made cloth
ing store for his clothes cannot be too careful
about removing the numerous tags which
adorn the stock piled on the counters. This
warning is not given without reason II Is
suggested by the experience Of one James
Hitchcock, who underwent fearful ordeal
in this direction. He tells it on himself. too.
Years ago, when Professor MARITIME ran the
hotel at Riverside and was attempting to re-
vive its popularity by hypodermic injections
OF Saturday night hops, MIR. Hitchcock was
invited to participate in one of these social
revels. Ills wardrobe was complete with the
exception Of a white vest-then en- regle.
Well, he went to retail house and purchased
the desired white wsistcoat He took it home
and plncked off all the various tags-that is.
he thought he did He attended the party
with his wife, and all went well until be
mingled in the excitement of the Iancers.
Then he threw open his Prince Albert and
lent himself to the abandon of the dance
While he was parading about at the direction
of the caller he noticed that several people in
the set began to smoker, but he paid no at
tention to the merriment When the caller
finally cried: IAN waltz-sea;s!'' he disposed
of his partner and his wife grabbed him al
once. She took him aside and pointed out
the cause of the merrinient in his set 1t was
sewed ON TO the vest just abaft the watch
pocket. 1t was of brilliant pink cardboard
and it read: Short and fat; d. inches" Mr..
Hitchcock aud the retail clothing salesman
who sold him the white vest have never since
spoken as they have passed by-Chicago

The Difference In Feathers.

Considerable misunderstanding often re-
suits from housekespers failing to comprs-
bend that feather with almost no stem,
almost as light therefore as down, will weigh
SO much less in the same bulk, that half the
quantity of feathers by weight are required
az for heavier feather. A pillow that
weighs more than two and half pounds to
tick, twenty-five by twenty eight inches In
size, is too heavy to be economical. 1t is
true that such light feathers will cost 81 20 q
pound, but it will require five pounds OF
seventy-flve cent feathers to fill the same
tick, and the pillow of expensive feathers
will cost only S., while the pillow of cheaper
feathers will cost 1878 A pillow of camelf
hair wool and one Of down are delightful ad.
ditions to tho lounge where 1t is difficult to
get enough pillows. Here, usually, a small
pillow filed with balsam f1r is placed Per.

blood to the head and infant children should

POcketless Woman.

Why don't women have pockets? They
carry their purses In their hands and their
handkerchiefs in their bodices, and they carry
little bag about as big as pint cup on
their arms, the exact use of which has never
been defined. There is liberal Wholesale
ness about the way man provides In the
construction of his dress for his own wants
that Is actually refreshing in comparison
with the way women Inconvenience them
selves a man has plenty of pockets. He
can carry keys. A woman is always wonder
ing where she left or hid hers. When the ext
gencies of the weather cause him TO have re-
course to his wipe" he puts his hand into
his breast pocket and hauls out a liberal
square OF cambria. A woman under like cir
cumstances just shifts and continues to sniff
When a man sits down in street car he
waits till the genie OF the bell punch and regis
ster stand in front of him, then he puts his
thum and forefinger III q tiny pocket in his
overcoat and hauls out his ticket. The wo-
man begins to get her change ready when the
conductor is at the other end of the car. She
pulls her BAG off her arm, draws it open,
takes out her purse, pulls OFF her silk mitten,
opens her purse, unclasps an inner compart-
ment, takes ont nickel, puts it between her
hps-faugh !-snaps the compartment, shuts
the purse, opens her bag, and puts away the
purse, and pulls on the mitten again. And
this is a fair sample of the way women ham
per themselves in all tue little things-and life
is made up of them-and then complain of
the disadvantages of Sex. There is nothing
on earth to prevent any individual woman
from enjoying innunerable pockets, loose
sleeves, bifurcated underskirts short hair,
ETC.. and all the other modern feminine i'm
etc. and all the other feminine improvements
