DEMOCRAT N cAKD/DAH
FOR CONGRESS.
THIRD DISTRICT,
ANDREW PRICE.
SATURDAY, AUG. II. 1889.
PRICE IND VICTORY.
OF LAFOURCHE,

Shortly AFTER Ine Ueatnt OF the la
mented Mr.. Gay the SENTINEL. an
nouncel it's conviction that our dis
tinguished fellow citizen, the Hon.
Andrew Price, WAS the strongest and
most available man in the Democratic
ranks in the district to become the
standard bearer of the Democracy aud
strongly urged his nomination. Later.
in chronicliny with heartfelt regrets
the then firm and earnest determine
ton of Mr.. Price not to permit the use
of his name i'll connection with the
nomination. the SENTINEL expressed
the hope that the Democracy would.
in convention assembled, IN the exer-
else Of its wisdom, tender the nominal
ton to Mr.. Price and that the latter
would, for the good of the party, make
the sacrifice of his time, labor and
energy by accepting.
1t was then but a faint hope, for we
were in Il position to know and appre-
ciate the sincerity of Mr.. Prices de-
clination but it has been glorioasly
realized, even beyond the most sangu-
inc expectation of his most ardent
friends. The Lake Charles conven-
ton, composed of as able and repre-
sentative a body of Democrats as ever
sat in this State, with Il unanimity
and enthusiasm without precedent,
rendered the high honor of Il Demo-
cratic nomination to our distinguished
fellow citizen, who, after some urgency
from his friends, with his well known
patriotism and devotion to the cause of
his party, accepted the trust reposed
in him.
Mr.. Price is too we'll and favorably
known in this community to require
any eulogy at our hands. His Demo-
cracy and fidelity and devotion to
principles have v been questioned,
but, on the contrary, universally ac-
knowledged. His vim, husband en-
ergy would carry ever q less popular
nan to success and will accomplish
for him the grandest victory that ever
crowned any candidates efforts in the
district. The chieftain may be de-
pended Oh to do his full duty in the
premises and the rank and file should
not be less ardent and patriotic than
their leader.
Already CONSERVATION has seized the
Republican camps and their shrewd-
est leaders cOncede the formidable
ness of their opponent. We have but
to strike to win the victory. Let
every nan put his shoulder to the
wheel and On election day give a pull
altogether which will snow Minor under
SO deep that he will never be able to
realize the extent Of his fall.
But the SENTINEL wishes to say a
word in particular to the Democracy
Of Lafourche. The Democracy OF the
district has highly honored Lafourche
in selecting as its standard bearer
one of her favOrite 1t is incum-
bent on Lafourche to give some token
Of her lively appreciation of this great
honor by rolling up a rousing majority
for her we'll beloved son.
Will Lafourche do itf She will, if
her sons prove true to their principles,
their manhood, and to their well
known chivalry aud patriotism.

NOTES OF INTRODUCTION.
Why This Method of Making People Ac-
 quaiuted Is No Longer Satisfactory.

Why This Method of Making People Ac-
 quaimted Is NO Longer Satisfactory.
 The reckless and irresponsible way ill which people write notes of introduction is rapidly throwing a dIstrust on this whole system of making people acquainted, says the San Francisco ATgJnGm. The man who gives a letter of introduction has not only drawn upon hls credit. so to say, in his friends feeling of kindness toward him.
 but he has become responsible for the man he presents. Many persons are inclined to assume that they can Qnly Ge held respon- s;be for the strict wording of their note as if the recipient could half receive the acquaintance they only half indorse. The truth Is. hat the fact of having presented man at al is in itself claim which they have no right to press without being as- surcd that the character of the person for whom they stand will bear out the natural inferences 10 bc drawn from the fact that he has been given written and formal in- dorSemcnt, or course. at the bottom of this evil lies not disposition to impose on a friend, but lack of courage to refuse fa- vor to another when such a favor would ba looked upon as personal reflection. An eccentric old gentle man.who was exceedingly scrupulous in re- gard to this matter, always couched his re- fusal to give letter of introduction in the words ''I am very sorry not to be able to obiige you, but am convinced that you and the friend to whom you ask letter would not be compatible" The phrase was am 5iguous, but it served as well as another. The refusal was the main thing, and that the gentleman being gentleman always insisted upon when he left that the acquaint- anceship he was asked to bring about would not be agreeable to the recipient of the let ter of introduction as well as to the bearer. The matter has been often touched upon; but, so far from the evll decreasing, It seems rather to be growing. People are endeaEoring to balance their moral laxness in this case by lessening the weight of pres entation notes, and the time seems to be not far distant when these convenient and necessary credentials will have no weIght whatever. The only thing that can be done IS to impress upon individuals the need of es- tablishing for themselves the reputation of being so particular that their notes of intro duction shall be absolute guarantees.

DRESS IN ENGLAND.
The Average Annual Expenditure of Five
 IyeH-to- Do EngIi h Ladies.


 Our English cousins probably spend less for dress than Americans do. although it may be hazardous to assert this as q gen eral rule No doubt there arc Engiishmen who are lavish in this particular. as there gre Yich Americans who are prudent Yet it will do no harm 10 observe the habit of some well-to-do English people. According to an article quoted in the Chr;StiGn at Iio'if from an English magazine, the average an- pual expenditure for dress by five English ladies was:
 With family income Of four thousand dollars a year, one hundred and fifty dol lars: of five thousand dollars a year, two hundred dollars; of seventy-five hundred dollars year. two hundred aud fifty col lars: of ten thousand dollars a year, two hundred dollars for each of three unmarried daughters. With such incomes here. some ladies would spend at least twice or thrice as much on their wardrobe, and when they belong to families of large wealth, their lavishness in this respect startles English observers possessing incomes as great, or evea greater
 The daughter of an Earl recently visiting New York declared her inability to com pete with American ladies in the smartness of their dress, and marveled at their grandeur, for they spent thousands of dol lars where sine had hundreds to lay out on her wardrobe.
 In the matter Of the cest Of dress of men there is also apparently greater economy III England. The average annual expenditure of twenty-eigtt bachelors consulted were only one hundred and fifteen dollars, the highest being two hundred and fifteen dol lars, and the lowest seventy dollars. Net they were all what are conventionally known as gentlemen of fair or good in comes.
 One of thirty-three years, and an income of thirty-two hundred dollars, spent two hundred dollars on his clothes; second, aged thirty-fve, and six thousand dollars income, says his tailor's bill is about one hundred and seventy-fve dollars year, that he ''gets new suit of dress clothes every three years, and 8 new great-coat every four;" and a third, aged thirty-one. with an income of between fifteen and twenty thousand dollars, "never spends more than one hundred and ninety dollars; :; a new dress suit every five years"

The Proper Way to Drink.

Says the Sanitary Inspector regarding ex- ercising care in drinking. An exchange notices as wise precaution the act of a Philadelphia physician, who, while riding in railroad car, gave one of his children a drink of water by spreading clean hand kerchicf over the top of the glass to pre- vent the contact of the child's lips with the tumbler \ still better eEpedient, with the same object in view, has often been resort cd to by the writer, and his children have been instructed to practice the same pre- caution when obliged to drink from mug or tumbler on the cars, steambOats CT ai public drinking fountains. It consists in bringing the lower edge of the drinking cup beneath the lower lip, instead of letting it come in contact with the mucuous mem- brane of the mouth. Teach the children to stick their whole bill into the cup when they take a drink under such circum- stances, for it avoids real and consider able danger of infection from certain con- tagious diseases,

EATING FROM NECESSITY.
Uninviting Rounds Of Life of the Ordinary
 Man of Business.

Uninyiting Rounds Of Life of the Ordinary
 Man of Business.
 How many of us really aud truly sit down at the table, and, as we should, enjoy our eating? asks writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Eat 10 enjoy life. We have no doubt but that the following narrative Syill be recognized as that Of a personal ex- perience by many. Arse in the morn carly or late, as the case may be. under protest a sufficient testimony that balmy sleep, his sweet restorer, has failed to lnake proper connections, so to speak; move about, strange to say, stretchy, achey, even tired yet, eyes hard to get open properly, maybe fall over d char CT two, or StOcp over to get some article of apparel and be compelled to make an effort. In fact he must go through Q bracrng-up process. After performing his morning toilet he has lmbered up some, got his eyes open and ttoundered down stars to the breakfast table. Looked at the watch and mentally concluded or realized that he must be at business right off Braces up agaln and mechanically, may be vigorously, proceeds to ingest gvhat he can; matter of necessity, never hungry for breakfast, you know.
 Rusn out of house for street cars, stand up maybe all the way down town. If he is fortunate enough 10 get seat he expe- riences a sort of relief, and recognizes that he IS stll tired. Get to work dull and list less. Necessities ot excitement of work for five hours or 50 OccupIes his attention. Whistle blows, bell rings, clock strikes or friends come in. Dinner is sought; feels somewhat empty, hardly hun full empty feeling gone. A desire to rest cIa A again gets to work for i've hours or more; has to struggle for awhile; eyes are very heavy; sense of discomfort about stomach. Finally tune to stop work comes; closes up active effort, but mind and attention still fingers. He starts home with heavy legs and feet; headache; maybe somewhat dizzy. No seat on cars this way either; recognizes that he is very tired.
 Gets home, crawls up the front stops and exclalms: Supper ready?' "Yes, come right along'' He sits down, has no appe- tite, but eats again, from necessity" Not much; easily satisfied. Feels sort of weak about his stomach, as well as otherwise Puttefs around in or out of the house for awhile, or reads the paper; feels little better; seeks, maybe. entertainment, the excitement of which fixes his attention from self. At last he seeks rcpose eX- haustcd, and maybe sleeps heavy, or not al all. The next morn and day bring the same experence, and so on day after day.
 Eternal effort; eternal desire for rest; eternal lack of enjoyment of life; eternal eating from necessity. Can we wonder that this man eats from necessity? Yet this is an American of today His distem- per is of his own making He is robber of nature and has failed to put in practice the full meaning of the Divine command menti 'Thou shalt not kill"

STATESMEN AT HOME.
Some of the COuntry's Famous Character
 in Domestic Life.

Some of the COuntry'S Famous Characters
 in Domestic Life.
 Most of our statesmen, says Hdrpcr's BdzGr, have pure domestic records, and most of them have been ardent lovers, and have made good husbands. Thomas Benton was devoted tQ his wife, and he says in his thirty years memoirs that he never attend ed anyplace of fcs,ivity or amusement after her death. The wife of Senator Allen, of Ohio, better known as "Fog Horn " Allen, died at Washington during the winter of 1S47. It was before the days of a railroad to the West, and the old Senator carried her corpse homo to Ohio over the mountains, riding beside it on horseback during the day and watching it lt night throughout the cold, dreary journey, until at last he laid it beside her father, Governor Arthur, in tho beautiful cemetery at Chillicothe. Stephen A. Douglas, the little giant of Illinois, was twice married, and it is said that he courted Mary Todd at the same time that her hand was sought by Abraham Lincoln. Miss Todd on being asked which of the two she intended to marry, replied the one she dent of the United States.
 When Lincoln was elected this remark became prophetic. Douglas afterward mar ried Miss Martha Martin, the daughter of Colonel Robert Martin, rich planter and slave-owner from one of the Caroliras. She brought fortune, including a number of slaves, into the family, and died in 1850, about seven years after her marriage. A few years later Senator Douglas married again, and this time he chose a beautiful girl who was employed in the departments at Washington. Her name was Adele Cuts, and she survived him, marrying again after his decease. George Bancroft was married twice. His second wife, who died several years ago, was very popular ill Washing ton and was noted society figure. Henry A. Wise, the noted Virginia statesman Of Tyler's day. was married three times. Ills first love was the daughter of one of his professors at college, a Miss Jennings, whom he married in Tennessee, and with whom he went on a wedding tour to pay visit to Andrew Jackson at the Herm tage. His second wife was the daughter of John Sergeant, the Whig candidate for the Presi- dency in 1S32. Wise proposed to Miss Ser geant. it is said, On the dome of the capitol at Washington, and one of the results of the marriage was John Sergeant Wise, the Vir- ginia statesman of the present day. John s. Wise was born at Rio Janeiro, where his father was officiating as Minister at the time. At the moment of his birth his father determined to have him born under the American flag, and ran up dozen on diff fereIt parts of the consular mansion.
