tury, relates what was probably the
last joke.of Artemus Ward. :; ).
When, the famous wit; lay, dying in
Southampton he was attended by his
devoted friend, 'Tomsp Robertson, the
famous, the English playwright, who
was also 9 friend Of Jefferson. :.
''Just. before Wards death,ns writes
Mr.. Jefferson, Robertson poured OUT
some medicine in q glass and offered
''Ward, said . .M.My dear Tom, t
can't take that dreadful stnf.'
"Come, come. said Robertson, ,urg-.

my sake, you know l would do any
thing for you.'.. s.,,..

| A REAL CHILD OF THE REc1,TE ES1
was graduated last month from the
Alexander Varien Institute, in War
saw. Her name is Marie Keksholln
and her age is just 16 years. In the
last Turkish war she was picked up
from the ruins Of q burned and de-
serted town by the colonel of the Rus
sian Grenadier regiment Of the empe-
ror of Russia. The members of the
regiment voted, as soon as they went
into camp, to support and educate the
little Turkish girl at their expense.
They contributed enough money i'm
mediately to set their plan in opera
ton, and have continued ever since
to buy their ware. all that she desired.
Five weeks ago they decided to give
her a handsome dowery when she
should be ready to marry. Marie has
a beautiful face and keen mind, and
it is expected that she will get her
husband from the regiment that adop-
ted her.

A PAUPER STATE.

Morning Star and Catholic Messenger
The Anti-Lotery Convention indig
nantly repudiates the Lottery asser.
ton that Louisiana is pauper. Mr.
Morris was willing-and perhaps i;
still willing, though we greatly doubt
ito help poor Louisiana along with
a Villion a year, provided always, that
1T was to be nieritoriously applied
He could not trust these mad caps 81
politicians who had already made q
bankrupt of the State treasury; so he
was wise, prudent and humane enough
to couple his generosity with condi-
tions and limitations. The spendthrift
was not to be masterof his own alimo-
ny; it was to be disbursed, 50 to speak,
through trustee or guardian. The
levees, the schools and the Insane
Asyiums were to be specially taken
under the wing Of this great philan-
thropy.
Miserable Louisiana! Not only a
pauper, but shiftless, thriftless, reck-
less, discreditable one
But is all that true? Is Louisiana
utterly impoverishedan applicant
for charity at the doorstep Of the
lordly gambling monopoly? Is she
huddling in rags while her own crea-
ture, the bantling Of her negro-s o-supfe-
macy days, stands arrayed in purple
and fine linen, glittering all over with
gold and diamonds and holding out to
her princeg purse in a bejeweled hand
while bestowing at the same time q
contemptuous kick !?
The Anti Lottery Convention en-
phatically answers to all this:: No.
This Convention consisted Of about
nine hundred Of the first gentlemen Of
this State, representing nearly every:
parish in it, and representing them
both faithfully and ably. These gen
tlemen pledge themselves to the truth
fulness Of the facts embodied in the
following resolution:
s.Resolued, That we pronounce as un-
true the statements that hayE been pub
lished by the press that the financial CON
1ition Of the State is such that we cannot
support our government and educate our
children, and declare that the public re-
venues are steadily increasing. and are
larger than at any time for the last de-.
cade. and are ample for the maintenance
of the government honestly and econom
icqflv administered"
UNTRUE. That is the epithet ap-
piled to all these specious pretexts for
the proposed partnership Of an honor
able State in lucrative but Infamous
public debauchery. They are untrue.
Louisiana can get on very well with
out the aid Of charity better than at
any time within the past ten years.
The prop is knocked away from under
those weak -kneed citizens who, here
and there, have permitted themselves
to be lured into a support Of this mon
strous conspiracy against public NOR
ais. They have no further excuse for.

thankfully receive for the State five

doubtless very large, will be divided with
the striking iron molders Of San Francisco.

wRETCHED CHILDREN.
Pitiful Scene Enscted in the City Prison
Last Night.

Pitiful Scene Enscted in the City Prison
Last Night.
There was sad sight at the police sta
ton last night. Mrs. Miller was brought
in because she had failed to remove from
the neighborhood which she had so long
disgrsced by her outrageous conduct in the
time stipulated by the Police Court some
days ago, when she was convicted of dis
turbing the peace, but allowed to 20 on
the condition named.
1t was found necessary to take the two
youngest children with her. little tot of a
girl and boy some eight or nine years of
age. The mother was sober, for wonder,
and passed the night in CRYING and be-
walhng her fate. The children huddled
themselves into one of the hunks. where
they 100 cried as If their little hearts would
break.
1t is quite likely the unfortunate woman
was not able 10 keep the promise made to
the Court, that she would remove. us she
had no place to go to and no means to rent
one. 1t seems very hard that innocent
ana helpless children should be made to
suffer in this way and it is 10 be hoped
That some way may be found to provide
them with home, even though thew
should have to be taken away from their
unfortunate mother, tenderiy as they cling
to her.
