BONDED DEBT.
The bonded Indebtedness of the State
on the first day of January. 1889. as shown
IN my last report, amounted to 90, 967 400
but the actual debt is $500 ia excess of
this sum, the error occurring as follows
In 1873 the State paid from the current
funds of the Office for three coupon bonds
OF the loan of October |. 1869, No. 453
for $500 and Nos. 1l3 and ia for 500
each, asgregating $500, which were des-
troyed at the fire in Boston, November 8,
1872 and q certificate for this amount, to
represent the bonds destroyed, was given to
the State Treasurer by the Governor and
Council, with instructions to place same %
the credit of the sinking fund, and this
sum was not only added to the sinking fun
as a credit. but wss also deducted from the
total amount of the bonded debt, and the
debt has been reported each subseQ ne Mt
year, $500 less than actually existed.
The entire bonded indebtedness of the
State on January /. 1889. WAS therefore
80, 96i 300 all of which matured during
the year and same has been refunded in
manner that should be eminently satisfac-
tory TO every tax payer in the State.
This debt, bearing interest At the rate Of
six per cent. was made up in detail as fol-

If you are going to do anything, do it
promptly.
The longer you wait and think about
and dread it, the worse it will be.
Be prompt. Life is great deal pleas
Anter to the person who promptly does
what he is required to do.
Don't keep your friends waiting. You
have no right TO waste the time of other
people,
If you are one half hour behind time
in fulfilling an engagement, you may
cause dozen other parties to break en-
gagements, and untold perplexities and
delays may come out of just that little
shortcoming of yours which you look
upon as such trifling thing.
To an active energetic wide awake
person there is nothing more trying and
more annoying than to be made TO wait.
Brace up and make an effort, you
shiftless indolent always behind hand
folks, and see if you can not come to
time
If you have agreed to be at certain
place at certain time, be there, unless
you are sick or dead.
In either case you might be excused,
but not otherwise.
If you are man, don't keep your wife
waiting dinner for you, unless there is
some good and sufficient cause, and gen.
orally there is not
Delaying dinner spoils not only the
dinner, but the temper Of the woman
who is managing it.
If you are woman and your husband
says he will be round at o'clock to take
you to drive, be ready for him.
Have your bonnet and gloves on.
Don't keep him dancing on the pave
ment for half an hour clinging TO
fidgety horse, while you leisurely get on
your wraps and look at your back hair
in hand glass, and hunt up your gloves
and your parasol, and wonder whether
you had better take an extra shawl or
not.
Have all these things attended to and
decided on before the time he has fixed.
A little system and good deal of de-
termination will help you to be prompt;
and after you once get in the habit of il,
you will like it.
1t is refreshing to do business with one
who is always in time, and who, you
know, will be on time.
He begets courage and confidence in
everybody with whom he comes in con-
tact
He is power in society. He isa bless
ing to the world.
When he dies he will be missed.
Teach the children early to be prompt.
Teach them to respect promise.
Bring them up to tell the truth and
stick to it.
A broken engagement is lie. Some
times it is worse than a lie, and may
cause a great many more unpleasant
complications than lie.
Be careful in making agreements, but
when you have once agreed, stick to the
terms of the agreement.
And if you follow out the prompt,
punctual, persevering method of doing
everything when it needs to be done,
there are ninety nine chances IN a
hundred that you will be successful in
life; and if you are not you viii have the
delightful consciousness of knowing that
you have deserved success, and you will
not be continually beset by the renoxso-
full thought that If you had only cOms to
time, if you had only been prompt, you
would have achieved success instead Of
failure.

The Survival of the Fittest.

Christianity born amid the humble and
the obscure, hidden like lost thing in a
remote corner of the earth, founded by One
whose life begun in manger and ended on
cross, it commenced it's great work, poor
and prescribed, having "nether silver nor
gold" Its subjects were found in the Door
upper chambers at Jerusalem, in humble
quarters at Ephesus and Corinth, and in
gloomy prisons in Philippi and Rome. Its
mission was to bring comfort and freedom,
to impart new and pure life, to put an
end to the bondage of the past, to animate
all the future of humanity with brotherlv
love. to raise new society. freed from the
bondage OF the pagan religion as from that
OF the Jewish theOcracy-a society cOmbin-
ing order with liberty.
The overthrow of the Roman Empire and
the survival of Christianity are historical
facts. The early Christians went forth
without fear or trembling to meet adversa-
RES both Skillful and strong, numerous and
formidable-to encounter all the recognized
lords of the world, its princes, priests phi
lOSOphers and artists, until every conflict of
the prescribed religion became victory to
command wider hearing. The Good
news soon spread over the whole of Asia
Minor, to the borders of Judea, the deserts
OF Arabia. and the heart of Egyptian
Africa; it was carried into Greece, and the
great centers of ancient civilization, and
echoed in the very capital of the Roman
Empire. Everywhere the Light famed
like beacOns through the pagan and Egyp.
tan darkness. Well might the sainted

The latest biennial report of the board of
control of the Louisiana state penitentiary
is at hand, for which j. w. Bates, state
clerk, will please accept our thanks. The
report shows that on Dec. 81, 1889, there
were SIG cOnvicts in the prison and camps, of
which 722 were colored and 1913 white men,
% colored and one white women, 1 Indian
and 1 Chinaman. During 1889 there
were 6S deaths, 73 escapes and 26 par
dOnS. There were on Dec. 81, 1914 life
prisoners and al under sentence ranging
from 10 to 81 years. The report of the
board of control speaks in the highest terms
of Capt. Bates management of the main
prison, but has nothing to say about the
condition of the convict camps where the
greater part of the prisoners are kept.
