The c., C. C. engineering corps reached the

this company mean to do anything or not we
can tell, but the people generally look upon
the whole thing as agame OF bluff
1t would be well enough to ascer-
tain the motives before making such
assertions, we think, and the Toma-

We copy the following from the
Biddeford Daily News; "The popular
Guy Bros. Ministries gave an excellent
show at the City Opera House last
evening. This is decidedly the best
show that has appeared in our city for
years, every feature being new, the
costumes were magnificent, the songs
were catchy, the marches, drills and
dances were well executed. The hits
of the evening were made by the fa-
nous comedians G. r. and w. H. Guy
in their comical songs and dances.
The burlesque on the "Japs" brought
down the house. The Guy Brothers
are sure OF a crowded house when
they come again.
The company above referred to will
appear at Jobe's Opera House to.mor-
row and Saturday nights. Seats are
now on sale at Gump's and are going
rapidly.

FOOTPRINTS OF CHR1sT. By Rev. VIM.
III. Campbell. limo, 375 pp., cloth,
S1.50 New York: Funk & Wag-
nails.
The author of this book knows how
to write good English. His style is
a happy combination of vigor and
simplicity. For subject matter he
has chosen an inexhaustible theme
Beginning with the boyhood of Jesus,
his characteristics, labors, lessons,
methods, and the striking scenes that
made up his busy life, are so depicted
as to awaken fresh interest in the
Hero of Revelation. The book con-
tains sixty chapters, treating as many
distinct topics. We select the fol-
lowing as samples: Christ Dealing
with an Inquirer; Honoring Gods
Word; Behavior in a Panic; Ignor-
ing Social Distinction; Absence of
Envy; Jesus as Reprover; Steadiness
amid Popularity; Moral Courage
Silence of Jesus; Self-Revelatior /;
Not a Stickler; Answering Hypocrit-
ical Questions; Attention to Children;
Treatment of Idle Curiosity; Affected
by Human Sympathy; Submission TO
the Divine Will. The book is pre-
sentable in appearance, admirable in
spirit and style, and excellent in moral
tone and teaching. 1t would be a
good book to put into the hands of
young people, and would kindle de-
sires to know more of that marvel
GUS personage-with such manifold
traits and titles-who lived our ex.
ample and died our sacrifice. It
would also be very suggestive to
preachers, religious teachers and
workers. It should find welcome
place in every Christian home. It is
decidedly a good book.
" "WHITAKER's ALMANACK FOR 1890" "
London: Whitaker & Sons. st.
Louis: Philip Roeder.
1t is somewhat singular that so few
Americans know of Whitaker's Sal
manack," yearly periodical that is,
for English affairs, sort of encyclo-
pedia. The american Almanac,
copied on its plan, is so well known
as to need no praise; the two are a
library in themselves. Both would
have done better to take some other
name than Almanac, which We are apt
to think of as thing to egiven away,
to be found on the counter of the
apothecary, and which combine ad
vertisements of quack medicines and
the information, let us say in the
July calendar: "About this time look
out for warm weather"

No CAUSE FOR AcT1oN.-It will be
remembered that several weeks ago
District Attorney J. H. Shepherd
brought suit for this parish against
Bossier parish for So, 600 for rental
OF the Caddo parish jail from 1882 to
the close Of the year 1889. A few
days since the case was called up in
the District Court at Bellevue, when
Judge Beone dismissed the suit on
the greund that Caddo parish had no
cause of action. That under the
Constitution the Sheriff had no op-
6on but TO receive and hold in GUS
tody prisoners committed to his
keeping from another parish, and for
the further reason that the Sheriff of
Caddo has been fully compensated
for keeping and feeding in Jail all
persons sent from Bossier parish
The case will be appealed to the Su.
preme Court Shreveport Times.
Our parish jail was destroyed
by FIRE on Thursday night, January
22, 1856. It was built by Judge j.
D. Watkins, contractor, in 1856, and

ASA WEDNEsDAY.-Yesterday was
Ash Wednesday, the first day of the
principal and most solemn fast OBJ
served by Christian denominations.
Its name originated in an old rule of
sprinkling ashes upon the head on
this day as a token of humility
Though the observance of Ash Wed
nesday and the forty days of Lenten
fast which it introduces is peculiar to
the Christian church, it is not COM
mon to all denominations of Chris
6ana The Roman Catholic, the
Greek and the Protestant Episcopal
Churches are the principal branches
BY whom the day is recognized
Among them Ash Wednesday and the
forty days of Lent are observed with
religious rites appropriate to the
events which it commentaries,
Christ's forty days fasting in the will
derness and the closing scenes of His
Ife. Members of these churches are
restrained from eating meat. or in
some cases anything except at speci-
fed times; their attendance at balls,
theatres and other public places of
amusement is forbidden, and daily
services are held in the churches.
This makes the season a quiet one
socially, even for those who do not
regard it as having any special reli-
gious significance, and society" takes
advantage of that to make it crest
ing spelP between the gaities of win
Ter and summer.
