HERE is one for the Democrats-the
same party in principle, purpose and NOR
ais that seeks to dominate in this State,
and masks behind the personal strength of
candidates. At the Democratic Con-
gressional Convention for the First Dis
trict, held in New Orleans on the 18th
inst, the committee ON platform reported
a plank indorsing the lottery and the
schemes it proposes for the purchase of
the State. A minority of the committee
reported this plank:
ResolreS, That the intrusion OF the Louisiana
Lottery Company into the politics of this State,
eudeayoring 10 corrupt its Offices and to obtain
laws to prolong its existence, is destructive 70
the Democratic party aud good government in
this State.
The resolution was tabled on a vote of
rs to and the platform of the majority
was then adopted. Upon that platform
General Adolph Meyer was nominated for
Congress.

and that he would hold to it if he had t.
run to do it. Again l waited long time
for Eli to come back. At the end of per.
haps twenty minutes started to the house,
and in about 900 yards l met him, com.
pietely exhausted and willing enough to
go to the house with me.
This was the most laughable incident OF
my whole life, and had l not witnessed it

istence of such courage, perseverance and
intelligence in duck to save her young
ones from destruction.-Fsresta and Stream.

HOW TO TELL A woMANs AGE.
A Shrewd Observer Says Her Hair Will
Tell the Whole Story.

shrewd Observer Says Her Hair Will
Tell the Whole Story.
From the Epoch.l
To tell a woman's age is one of the
easiest things imaginable, despite the fact
that many brilliant ladies knock off few
stories of their years without detection.
If art had not come to their rescue and
replaced TO certain extent the charms of
youth, any fellow could tell within year
or two, but art has come to the rescue,
wrinkles have been fiatironed or assures
puttied, eyes belladonnaed and cheeks
tinted.
Of course you can not take rake and
scrape off these fixtures. Neither can you
always get close enough to peep beneath
the cosmetic crust. What is fellow to do
then?
Well, granted that woman who has
just crossed the storm line, got under the
shade of artistic embellishments, and keeps
admirers at maidenly distance, there is
only one sure way to aralyze the chem
istry of times decomposition.
Observe we'll the hair.
Her bangs.
No; her back hair.
Now, don't say it is false False or real,
you can count her years by the threads
time weaves. Every year adds hair Oh
two, and no doubt if woman lived long
enough she would become female Esau
At % woman's back hair begins to fall
over her collar, as pumpkin-vine over a
picket fence. Note well the direction Of
the hair. Hair slants, and at 50 it takes 8
! slant of 90, at 80, 60, and so on.
OF course you can't get near enough tC
apply mathematic tape measure, but your
practiced eye will be enough.
Next note the quality. Hair at IS i.
MORE; at 80 it is Saline; at So it is passe
satinette; at 40 it is rope fit to hang any
man that gets noosed in its meshes. Blu
all the same both the hair and the woman
may be prettier at 40 than they were at 20
Anybody can tell false or store hair, nj
matter who the previous owner was. Il
has don't -belong-there look, and all the
pomades in the universe cannot give it {
permanent tenure of office.

Costly Dresses of English Women.

At recent state ball Lady Brooke had
a Nile satin dress yelled with transparent
white silk muslin, all sewn over with scat
tered diamonds, and having ON the Shout
ders epaulets consisting of two big fish
made entirely of large diamonds, with
sprays of smaller briiliants gushing from
their mouths down over her arms. The
Duchess of Leinster had serpents of dia-
monds coiIed all over her bodice and 9TH
ers erect rampant on her shoulders, and
chains upon chains of these precious stones
were about her throat and arms. Nothing
like it has ever been seen among English
women before.

A SOCIETY to endow poor manageable
girls is operating in st. Petersburg. 1t
would be better to expend the effort and
the money in teaching manageable girls
the arts of housewifery. Such as are so
qualified need no other dover to secure
worthy husbands. Those husbands who
are won only by the marriage dover are
scarcely desirable.

which was feared has been manifest.

IT was not believed that the lottery
gamblers would have the effrontery to send
crew Of lobby agents to Washington.
But they did And what is more, the
gang used money. They did not dare to
offer brides to members of Congress, but
they did pay hangers-on to entice mem
bers from the House in the hope to break
a quorum. Such pernicious activity as
that is enough to justify some mild-man-
nered, honest men in the city of fine dis
tances, in knocking these lobbyists down
and teaching them the virtue that resides
in the application of fists backed by just
indignation.

Now THAT the law modifying the inter-
state commerce shipments has gone into
effect the original package saloons are
going out of business. The meek-looking
hollow "bible;;" the homely cracker-box;
the innocent appearing music roll carrier,
and other devices by which original pack
age shipments were enabled to evade State
laws, have disappeared and local regula-
ton is again dominant. The new law has
been accepted with good grace by dealers
in stimulants, and none of that resistance
which was feared has been manifest.
