A Curious Pulpit.

A curious colonial relic known as the
"open and shut pulpit" has been sold al
Danielsonville, Conn. 1t had been in the
Read family for 100 years, and was the
property of Rev. Amos Read, the first
Baptist minister in the state. Mr.. Read
had to travel great distances in order to
"spread the gospel, and had his pulpit
made to take with him. 1t opens and
shuts with hinges like chest whose lid
is very much larger than the box part.
When the pulpit is shut up it is seem
ingly fair sized box; opened, the solid
lid stands straight before the preacher,
pulpit standard, on which the minister
lays his Bible and hymn book, and be-
hind which he discourses, standing on
the other part Of the box. Rev. Amos
Read. when he set forth to preach in
distant parts, just strapped up his pulpit,
balanced it on his horses back and trot-
ted forth, carrying church as well as
gospel with him. Philadelphia Ledger.

A ministerial Joke.

Ministers like their little jokes as well
as any one else. Chaplain Wharton, Of
the Grand Army of the Republic for the
state OF Wisconsin, is no exception, and
he perpetrated one a while ago which
acted as boomerang; it came back and
hit him hard. 1t was Of some great
g. A. r, affair. where speeches were
being made, and one speaker desired tc
refer to the incident mentioned in the
Bible where some one tied the tails Of
two hares together. The speaker was Al
loss to remember who this person was
and he asked the chaplain. With fac,
as sober as a judge, that gentleman said
it was Goliah. The speaker went OF

An experience recently told me Of q

twelyemonth since veriaes the state
ment as to the positive rule of some OF the
English playhouses not to admit ladies or
gentlemen to the stalls unless they are in
evening dress. The American had had a
busy day of it, and found that it was too
late to put himself into his dress suit, as
was his custom when going to the thea
tire, and hurried off in his ordinary morn
ing suit with his wife to witness the per-
Torrance of Henry Irving in sThe Dead
Heart" At the box Office he rendered
his money for couple Of stalls The ca
cial looked the applicant over for mo
ment, apparently arrived at the conclu-
sion he was gentleman and forthwith
asked il he would not accept box-a
much preferable and more expensive
situation-for his lady and himself.
81 make this suggestion" continued
the courteous and diplomatic represen-
tative, because should you appear in
the stalls not in full dress you would at
tract an embarrassing amount of notice
as the only persons that had been pre-
vented, for some cause or other, from
observing the usual formality. feel
sure that under the circumstances you
will find this box more agreeable"

There are no data now existing which
will enable any one to predict what win
be the size of boilers, engines, dynamos,
steamships, bridges, cars, locomotives,
Office buildings and other structures ten
years hence. Everything in the en-
gineering line seems to be changing at a
more rapid rate than at any previous
period. Certainly the limit to increase
of size does not yet appear. When the
single engine reached its limit in ship
building, the compound engine came in.
When shafts and screws seemed to have
grown as large as they could be made,
twin screws and shafts were used, and
at the same time facilities for making
still larger shafts and screws were per-
fected. So it is in every branch of en-
cheering; as soon as q limit Is fixed
some one finds way of overlapping 1t,
and the limit is placed further ahead

Now the gadHy which pursued poor 10
seems to have stung us all, and we fit
about the globe restlessly, till it has
nearly come to pass that everybody who
has o house has let it to somebody else,
and the last place to expect to find q
man is at home. A general game of
puss-in-the-corner amuses the best society
OF Europe and America all the summer
and much of the winter. The humblest
village school child expects two or three
annual excursions; every servant and
shop hand stipulates for holidays long
enough to pay distant visits; in short,
our lives are becoming much like those
of festive gnats at play of a warm even
ing. Sometimes we pause TO suck a
flower or to bite somebody, but we soon
return to the perpetual locomotion which
seems to possess unfailing charm. = ran:

Last Saturday The Louisiana Lot

Last Saturday the Louisiana Lot
terry Company rendered Gov. Nichols
a check for 100000 for levee pur-
poses. The Governor declined the
Lottery Company's gift, and returned
their check; and we think he did ex-
actly right in doing so. Gov. Mich
oils says: "On the eve of a session
of the Legislature, during which the
renewal or extension of your charter
will be acted upon-s question vitality
affecting the interests of this State
I have no right to place the people
under obligation to your company in
however small degree by my accep-
lance of gratuity fund.
Well said Governor The Banner
is with you in your stand against the
Lottery. We well remember the po-
sition some of the Democratic State
Senators took in 1879 in justification
of their votes sustaining the Lottery
when the General Assembly of the
State passed an act to abolish it
They held, or at least we distinctly
recollect that one Democratic Senator
most earnestly contended, that the
Lottery ''put up" money to help win
the fight against the Packard govern
ment, and that, at least, that Legis-
lature was under obligations to the
Lottery Company, and should not
abolish it by Legislation. That Leg
islature, however, did its duty to the
people, and repealed the obnoxious
Lottery law, but the Legislature and
Gov. Nichols, too, all had to "walk
the plank, officially, while the Lot
terry was made part of our Consti,
tuition, and continues to wax fat.
No obligations, please. We do
fear the Greeks bearing gifts

Weather and Crops.
Extracts from Weather-Crop Bulletin of the
Louisiana Weather Service for the week
ending Saturday, March Is, 1890.

The season from january LIST to
March 3 was noted for its high tenn
peratures in Louisiana, the excess
averaging ten degrees daily in the
northern section, and 8 degrees in the
southern section. The rainfall for
the same period averaged defcien-
of slightly over a fourth of an inch
in North Louisiana and nearly FIVE
inches in South Louisiana. Since
March LIST there has been an average
deficiency of about 70 daily in the
temperature of North Louisiana and
80 in South Louisiana The week
ending on the 7th was particularly
cold, the temperature during the past
week being nearly the normal in
South Louisiana, and deficient by
but about 2 or 80 in the northern
section.
The rainfall since March LIST has
exceeded the usual amount falling in
that time by about II inches in
Northern and Central Louisiana, and
has been deficient by about like
amount in Southeast Louisiana.
Heavy rains have fallen, and exces-
sive cloudiness prevailed, during the
past week in all sections of the State
except in the southeast portion.
With these great rainfalls in North
and Central Louisiana the soil is
naturally too wet for corn planting,
and this work will be retarded to
some extent Some corn had been
planted and was up prior to March l,
but the cold wave of the LIST to 3rd
killed it as well as all other vegeta
ton. This cold wave gave tempera-
lures as low as 90 degrees in North
Louisiana, $40 in Central Louisiana
and 27o in South Louisiana.
The effects of the cold wave of 1sE
to Bird in South Louisiana were to
seriously damage or kill vegetation
generally. Fruit and gardens suffer
ed the greatest disaster, but sugar
cane proves not to have been injured
as greatly as was feared, and promises
well again. The plant is reported as
coming up nicely aud the stubble and
fall plant will do we'll with warm,
sunshiney weather, after the coupious
rains of past week.

Red Rivers.

There are FIVE Red Rivers in the
United States, viz:
Red River, the southernmost of
the great tributaries of the MISSISSIPPI
pi, rises in the Staked Plains, Texas,
an arid table-land near the east Dor
der of New Mexico, and enters the
Mississippi River about latitude 80
North. It's length is estimated at
1900 miles. It receives only one
large afluent, the Ouachita, which
enters near the mouth of the Red
River The area drained by this river
is estimated by Prof. Guyot at 81, 900
square miles, and the water discharg
ed in a second at $1,000 cubic feet.
Red River, Kentucky, rises in
Wolf county, runs westward through
Powell county, and enters the Ken
lucky River on the south border of
Clark Co. It is nearly 10 miles long.
Red River, small stream of Mid
die Tennessee, drains part of Robert
son county, runs westward, and enters
the Cumberland River at GAINESVILLE
Red River, Shawano county, Wis
consin, runs southeastward, and en-
tiers the Wolf River five miles above
Shawano.
e Red River of the North rises in
Elbow Lake, Minnesota, near lat. ATT
g. n, at an altitude of 1880 feet above
sea level. It runs nearly southwark,
and expands into lake named Otter
Tail. It next runs westward to the
eastern boundary of Dakota and alb
ruptly to the right. Below this point
it forms the boundary between Da-
kota and Minnesota, until it passes
beyond the northern frontier of the
United States. Cyrus Thomas says
"there is, perhaps, no place on the
continent that SO fully meets our idea
of a fat or dead level country as
this valley" from Lake Traverse to
Lake Winnipeg, which has an average
width of 80 OF IS miles. This river
interseets the British province of
Manitoba, and enters the south end
of Lake Winnipeg. Its length is es.
timated at $50 miles. 1t is navigable
for steamboats,.

A Close Resemblance.


Any one who has carefully studied
the political history of this country
must have noticed how closely the
Republican party of our time resem-
hles the Federal party of hundred
years ego. It was like it at its be-
ginning, and its points of resemblance
become closer till the close of the
Administration of Garfield and Ar
thur. Every year from Lincoln to
Cleveland the power and influence of
the States become more insignificant
and those of the nation greater
Forty years ago Governors ranked
next to Presidents. Now Governors
regard their positions as stepping
stones TO Scholarships. Ambitious
lawyers prefer to be United States
Circuit or District Judges than to be
Justices of the Supreme Court of a
State. Washington is to the politi
elan what Jerusalem was to the an
eient Israelite and Mecca is to the
modern Mohammedans Our national
capital is being transformed SO as to
resemble st. Petersburg, Berlin and
Vienna.
Every industry of the country is
controlled by the premiers that are at
Washington. Our merchant marine,
once the pride of the people is de-
stroyed because Congress rules it
Agriculture is depressed on account
of the taxes imposed by Congress on
farmers. Manufacturers become rich
for thereason that Congress legislates
in their favor. Trusts are formed
and monopolies are created because
the national legislature favors their
existence.
The Federalists of the present day
have done more to concentrate power
at Washington than the old time
Federalits ever attempted to do OF
perhaps ever dreamed of doing They
have made the Speaker of the House
of Representatives the supreme die
tator of the popular branch of the
national Legislature. They have IN
dertaken to control the entire matter
of transportation. They are seeking
toregulate the public schools in every
State and territory by requiring them
TO make reports to the national
bureau. They have gone into the
business of buying large bodies OF
land for the purpose of colonizing it.
They now propose to irrigate land
by means of money taken from the
people. They also propose to give
immense sums to individuals and
companies who will build and navi-
gate vessels on the high seas.
In short, the latter day Federalists
have left little for the States to do.
They are striving to make them like
the departments of France, the coun-
ties in England and the communes
of Russia. They wonld have all
prayers for political mercy or peti
tions for industrial aid addressed to
our father who art at Washington.
