WHY NOT ALL ALIKE.

The announcement that MT H. c. Minor, who was beaten by MT Price in the recent congressional election in Louisiana, will not contest the seat won by his opponent has lead naturally to the inference that MT Price was fairly, hon estly and unquestionably the choice of the voters of the district. Three repub down there to see for themselves that Minor got fair show, and the fact that these men could find no basis for con- test and that MT Minor himself has not the cheek to appeal to republican house is evidence strong as holy writ itself that the defeat of MT Minor was the free and unhampered work of the voters themselves.
 After every election in the south where the democrats are successful the republican organs of the north set up a howl and yell fraud, violence and intim- idation till they are black in the face with the fury of their own lying allegations. Their readers are regularly and systematically treated to symposium on the wretched condi- tion of the poor colored brother who is deprived of his rights of suffrage and who is only allowed to vote when he votes the democratic ticket One would think who picked up northern repub- Hcan organ after southern election that the democrats down south regularly danced shindig over the stolen political are thought so much of by republicans about the time their votes are wanted And yet 1t appears from this Louisiana election that members of congress may be and are chosen by the democrats in districts where the black votes exists in large numbers, and chosen by immense maJOrities too, without fraud or violence attending the contest. It would appear that colored voters don't all cast their votes for republicans. and that it is not shotguns that are used to convince them that democratic candidates are pretty good men to vote for. And yet we don't expect that the republican organs of the north will learn anything from this election. We don't expect that they will b e any less earnest in chasing the wrath of democratic vio- fence in the south or bowling about shotSuns, tissue ballots, fraud, violence and intimidation. That is part of their stock i'll trade to be taken out and aired at regular intervals for the benefit of the poor colored brother at the north
 But 1t may be pertinent to inquire, in connection with the Louisiana election, why are not all the southern contests alike! Why are they not all equally fair, equally free from fraud and vio fence and intimidation? They are, only the republican bellows at the nortl must be blown out regularly for the ben eft of the organs. They might get out of tuneiotherwise.

Good Noses Arc Scarce.

Of all the features of the human face the nasal organ, being the most prominent, stands supreme as a revealer of character. Its form gives the greatest expression and individuality to the facial ineaments, and even the voice is affected and toned by this important member. The individual whom nature has blessed with really well formed and perfect nose should indeed be grateful, as on an average barely two per cent. of the ordinary population can claim to possess . perfectly shaped nasal organ.

He Heard the Poet Laureate.

Dr. Buckley tells story in the Christian Advocate about his following Tennyson years ago through the South Kensington museum, hoping to hear him speak. For two mortal hours and half he did this without success. "At last he made signs as if he was about to do so. Hoping to hear some criticism of painting we listened in- tently, and these memorable words fell from the lips of England's poet laureate You take care of the children while I 20 and get some beer.'"

Messrs Reginald de Koven and Harry B. Smith, of Chicago, have received cable- gram from London announcing that their opera, 'Don Quixote," has been accepted by Horace Sedger, who succeeds Carl Rosa as manager of the Prince of Wales Theater. The cablegram requested that the chorus parts, etc., be sent at once, which would indicate the intention of giving the opera an early production. The Bostonians produce "Don Quixote" in a few weeks, with MT. Barnabee as the knight of La Mancha and a cast enlisting all the favorites of the troupe. It has not been decided whether the opera will be given first at Boston or at Philadelphia.

To-DAY's voting is giving practical illustration of the good or i'll effects of the mongrel secret ballot law enacted by the late lamented republican legislature. It is quite probable, indeed. the next re- publican assembly will be called upon to do a work of reform in the bill, and make it something like what secret ballot law ought to be. It is to be hoped the ballot tinkering will be continued until something better than the present half baked method is devised.

THE FLOOD AT ALEXANDRIA.
The Damage Will Not Exceed $1,000.

The Potomac made an advance in force and
all along the line at Alexandria. ALI the stores
on the river side and on King and other central
streets to half way between Union and Lee
streets were invaded, and the water stood four
feet deep in the restaurants of Barsart and
Schneider, at King-street dock. The town was
isolated the entire Sunday, the food prevent
ing transportation by land and the currents any
movement of the steamers SO that Alexandria
was without its usual crowd of observation-disclosures
The ferry steamers however, resumed their
trips at o'clock this morning and carried
crowds to Washington. The whole business on
the river side Union street and at the east end
of all the other streets is clearing out the mud
and slime left by the food. The loss has been
slight considering the extent of the freshet
and will not exceed $4,000 in all: but the mer-
chants had full notice and prepared for the
food
FIRE AMID THE WATER.
About daybreak Sunday morning the watch
ers of the rising river were amazed to see the
frame freight honse on Reeds wharf, between
King and Prince street. and surrounded by two
feet Of water, burst into liquid blaze. No
one was near it at the time nor had it been
used for several days. The fire bells brought
the engine Columbia, and although the firemen
had to work In the midst of the freshet they
endeavored to extinguish the flames, but the
house was wrecked guess at the origin
must have been among the old stores kept in
the house. The loss did not exceed S200.
Up N TREE ALL NIGHT.
Mr.. Geo. Peveril, living near Alexandria,
was caught at Cameron run by the rising food,
but he climbed a large tree and remained in
its branches all night, and was rescued in the
morning.

How the Country was Inundated
Bridges and Crops Ruined.

Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR:
BLADENSBURG, June 2.
Bladensburgers were under the impression
that the freshet here last month was one Of
some pretensions, but the food of yesterday
and to-day throws that little affair completely
in the shade, and altogether beats the record in
this locality. The water rose about Is inches
higher than the point reached in the recent
freshet, and has pretty well depopulated the
main street of the town, the lower stories of
the houses being submerged. The highest point
was reached about midnight last night, the
water covering, it is said the floor of the bridge
between Bladensburg and Hyattsvilie. Again at
noon to-day it was almost as high. The people,
as a rule remained in the upper stories of their
houses yesterday and last night, but to-day the
majority OF them have yielded to the inevi-
table. and sought higher and dryer quarters
elsewhere. Some suffering has been caused
from the fact that many of the people are with
out food, and have to be supplied, by the charity
OF their neighbCrs, in boats. Every boat in the
town has been continually on the go for the
past two days, and rough RATS have been con-
structed, in many cases by those who have
found it necessary to make frequent trips from
their houses to dry land. No mails have been
| received since Friday. The water was above the
counters in Lynch's store, spelling the greater
part OF his groceries. In Spicer's the men
| stayed all Friday night and managed to get the
goods out of the reach of the tide. The fences,
| many OF which have been rebuilt since last
months freshet, again washed away The
| neighboring bridges aud culverts are washed
| away or badly damaged. The bridges on the
| northwest branch at Beale's and Riggs mill
are gone, and those on the Sligo, at the mill,
and the Eastern branch, at Benning, are SO
] damaged as to be useless. Hundreds of acres
Of hay, rye and other crops are ruined. The
| gardens all along the Eastern branch flats are
| washed away. The loss to farmers and truckers
| is serious and beyond repair. The road-bed of
| the Shepherds branch railroad is torn up. A
| large repair force has been at work on it since
| yesterday morning. A party from this place
| rowed into Washington this morning, passing
| over meadows and fields and tree-tops. They
| report passing a stable on Sd street southeast
in which were six horses drowned in their stalls.

dition. After trying all kinds Of remedies and
spending hundreds Of dollars, from which got no
relief whatever, was persuaded to try your Curl

After three days noticed decided change for
the better and at the end of two months was COM
pletely cured. My flesh was purified, and the bone
(Which had been exposed for over q Year, got
