Balzac and Berthes

Balzac, the great French novelist,
once received a lesson in good manners
from a younger and less distinguished
associate. Ths hint came with good
grace from the younger man, Ellie Ber-
tibet, because it was deserved, and he
cause Berthet himself was q person of
courteous manners and gentle and anna
Bile disposition. Berthet had written
some romances which became SO popular,
and he so distinguished himself in jour
nalistic work, as to become an assistant
editor of The Steele.
As the assistant of NJ. Desnoyers, the
editor of The Steele, he had been intro
duced to Balzac. But though Balzac
had many interviews with NJ. Desnoy-
ers, and was often in the Office, he never
paid the slightest attention to Berthet.
He did MT even speak or bow to the
young novelist.
One day Balzac took some copy to The
Steele Office, and was greatly disturbed
because NJ. Desnoyers, whom he wished
70 see, was out.
Soon after he left the Office he met
Ellie Berthet. He went up to the young
man, and without touching his hat OF
otherwise saluting him, touched him on
the arm with one finger and said:
"AhI you tell Desnoyers that I have
left the copy at the Office"
Without a second glance he turned
away.
Berthet delivered the message and the
editor replied:
81 am not likely to forget it. He has
sent me word by three persons already"
Three days later Balzac and Berthet
met at about the same place. Berthet
did not take off his hat. He touched
Balzac on the arm with one finger and
said:
"AhI he says you have sent him word
by three persons already"
Then he walked on.-Youth's Com
papion.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.

The democratic state convention
of Louisiana was called to order at
II o'clock Saturday morning at
Baton Rouge. The committee on
resolutions submitted their report,
which was adopted. The platform
denounces the bolt of the ants as
threatening to again subject the
State to African rule, expresses the
friendship of the democracy for the
farmer and laborer, and pledges
itself to come to their relief when
in full control of the government
1t also urges the abandonment of
the third party policy; asks for the
continuance of federal aid for the
Mississippi river; reafirms its oppo-
sition to monopoly and class legisla-
ton; denounces the attempt to
misuse the election machinery at
the State election in April, and
instructs the new central committee
to take measures against such mis-
use. It lays the responsibility for
the failure to settle the lottery ques-
ton by the white primaries to the
ants, and empowers the new State
central committee to use every effort
to bring about a settlement. The
convention then nominated candi-
dates for State offices. The ticket
complete is:
For governor, 5. D. McEnerY of
Ouachiata; for lieutenant governor,
Robert G. Wickliffe of West Felici-
ana; for secretary of state, L. F.
Mason of Concordia; for treasurer,
Gabriel Montegurt of Terre Bonne;
for superintendent of public educa-
ton, J. V. Calhoun of Orleans; for
attorney general, E. ". Sutherlin of
De Soto; for auditor, O. B. Steele
of Union.
The boiling wing of the conven-
ton have also nominated a full
ticket, and the fight that is to follow
promises to be bitter one as we'll as
one dangerous to the State. What
a great pity it would be If the re-
publicans, taking advantage of the
split, were to step in and elect their

The Manfaced Crab.

One of the most singular looking oree
lures that ever walked the earth or
''swam the waters under the earth" is
the world famous manfaced crab Of
Japan. its body is hardly an inch in
length, yet the head is fitted with face
which is the perfect counterpart of that
of Chinese coolie; yeritable missing
link, with eyes, nose and mouth ali
clearly defined. This curious and UNI
fanny creature, besides the great like
sss it bears to a human being III the
matter of facial features, is provided
with two legs, which seem to grow from
the top of its head and hang down over
the sides of its face. Besides these legs,
two "feelers," each about an inch in
length, grow from the "chin" of the ami
NAL. looking for all the world like a
colonel's forked beard. These manfaced
crabs fairly swarm in the inland seas Of
Japan.-St. Louis Republic.

A CURIOUS MENTAL PHASE,

The New York Herald is labor1ng
under the delusion that the Demo.
cratic party was divided, says the
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, and 1t
it is now engaged in congratulating
itself on the assumption that the
election of Crisp has reunited the
party. The Herald made fight on
Mr.. Mills on one issue which iG knew
to be false. 1t represented day after
day that Mr.. Mills platform em-
braced the idea of Tammany Hall at
any price. 1t was pointed out to the
Herald that Tammany Hall was for
Crisp, but even after so corrected
the Herald kept that talsehood
standing up to the time when Crisp
was elected. Everything confirms
the impression that the power of
Tammany Hall has been expanded
by the selection of Mr.. Crisp. We
do not believe that the Democrats of
the country are by any means salts
fed with the result of the Speaker
ship contest. Mr.. Crisp's election
has done more to inspire hope in the
breasts of those who have been dis
credited in the party, it has done
more to revive the cause of Randall
ism than any event that has hap
pened since the Pennsylvania states
man was dropped from power. The
New York Sun is now posing as the
Delphic oracle of Democracy, the
Georgia protectionists think that
tariff reform will now be relegated to
the limbs of dead issues; and Gov
ernor Hill, who has never been a
pronounced tariff reformer, has taken
occasion to say that the Democracy
of the country should not present
any sheme of tariff reform, but after
trying to repeal the McKinly act, it
should be content with a do-nothing
policy and Cimmerian silence The
Democrats of this country ought to
make themselves heard on this
proposition.

CHRISTMAS.

The birthday of our redemption, of chris
tian civilization, of every good and every
perfect gift for the bodies and souls of men,
bearing the covenant of the life that is, to-
gether with that which is to be, again glad
dens the heart of christendom. Christmas
day records fact as well as illustrates a
doctrine. The world, which is but too in
different to doctrine, is more and more re-
cognizant of the fact. But however much of
kindly sentiment and pleasant Eberality may
Irvine Itself around the fact, whether the
world knows it or not, it is the doctrine which
gives it its real worth. 1t is not that Jude
an child was born even under circumstances
of exceptional interest in Bethlehem, the city
Graded among the hills of Palestine; it is not
that the boy grewup to a most erentful man
hood and died a too early death. This the
veriest agnostic can hardly deny, but this
will hardly serve as a reason for the joy OF
christmas tide. That birth was not merely
the revelation that God had visited and re-
deemed his people, for this all but the most
hopeless of unbelievlng philosophers to-day
in some manner recognize. Socinlanism
holds him ga teacher come from God" and
liberalism sees in every great thinker some
attempt of the divine to read the human. It
was more than this-it was divinity recon-
cling to itself the human nature; taking it
up and showing it according 10 its perfect
ideal; the taking of manhood into oneness
with the deity, that henceforth man might
know itself for what he ought to be. God
the son was incarnate-Jesus the son of man
was born. 1t is the reality of both these
truths which makes their pEeciousness. This
the orld dimly sees and feels and rejoices in.
Christmas day, then, Is festival, not of a
sect, race, creed, or church, but for
mankind Even as the daily sun falls Oh the
Just and unjust with impartial cheer, so the
''day spring from on high falls upon all
sorts and conditions ofmen-penetrates pris-
on cells, hospital wards, even the haunts of
vice and sin. 1t lights up the marts and
highways of travel and traffic by sea and
land, as we'll as the stately cathedral, the
palace of the rich, and the cottage of the
poor. Happy are those who have looked
upon this day spring and who walk in the
light thereof In its light the simple and
wayfaring are wiser than the worldly-wise,
and the loving faith of little children might
Ter than the PHILOSOPHERS of the faithless and
unbelieving.

TIE BANNER, some time since, made
note of the Joe Belts case in the
District Court of Burleson county,
who was first convicted of killing a
negro and given two years in the
penitentiary, but subsequently tried
on a plea of insanity and convicted,
and suggested that upon his return
from the Asylum he would then have
to serve out his term in the peniten-
tiary. The Caldwell Chronicle, COM
menting on this statement, says:
"THE BANNER is somewhat in error in
its statement that upon Mr.. Belts return
from the asylum he will have to fill the two
years sentence to the penitentiary given
him. The fact that he was not sane at the
time of the killing relieves him of the
penalty for manslaughter. 1t is impossible
to make an irresponsible man responsible,
In reply to which the BANNER will
state unfortunately for MIR. Belts it
fears that it is not even slightly
mistaken" and refers the Chronicle
to Article $50 of the criminal court
of procedure, title II, chapter 1, mis-
cellaneous proceedings, which says:
"Should the defendant become sane he
shall be brought before the court in which
he was convicted and jury shall again be
empaneled to try the issue of his SANITY,
and should he be found to be sane the con-
viction shall be enforced against him in the
same manner as if the proceedings had
never been suspended"
Maybe the Chronicle sees some
way of getting around this law, but
it reads plain, and seems clear to the
BANNER, and while we deeply SYM
pathise with Mr.. Belts while serv-
ing out term in the penitentiary
for an act that he committed while
insane, we can't see how he is going
to get out of it, unless he remains
insane. The mistake he made was
in not entering the plea of insanity
on the first trial, instead of entering
a plea of mot guilty." as he did, and
fighting the case on the grounds of
self defense. If he is restored to
sane condition perhaps the Chief
Executive will extend him clemency,
but otherwise he will be sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.

THE CARA REVOLUTION.

The United States troops that
went out from Fl. Ringgold to tackle
CARA, the filibuster, had a skirmish
with him and his men, which resulted
in Corporal Easton of the Sd Z. s..
cavalry being killed, and Lieutenant
Hayes of the infantry beng wouned,
The engagement took place near Rio
Grande City.
The detachment lost sight of the
enemy in the thick brush which en-
veloped them, and temporarily
abandoned the chase, which will be
renewed as soon as reinforcements
are secured. These will doubtless
be sent out from the nearest posts,
as speedily as it is possible to mo-
billie them. The United States
military are as anxious to capture
Cara and his associates as are the
Mexican authorities, and if it takes
all of the available troops in this de-
partment to do so he will be hunted
down.
The military have full authority
from the war department for this
purpose, and the killing of the ser
geant and the wounding of the lieu
tenant Is but a still stronger in
centiye.
