The white democratic legislature of
1866 passed bill, framed introduced
and pressed to final passage by Judge
Fenner, licensing all lotteries in the
State of Louisiana for $4,000 year
each. This was the first lottery legisa-
ton after the war, and the majority in
favor of it shows that nobody thought
there was "great moral issue" at
stake, but merely a question of financial
policy. 1t is singular fact that the
picty of the present day far exceeds
that of past generations. Washington
and Jefferson were patrons and promo
tiers of lotteries, the Presbyterans and
other religious sects res0rted to them
not many years ago as a means of build
ing and identifying their churches, and
Louisiana statesmen of 1866 licensed
them for small revenue to the State. 1t
has remained for the purists of the pres
ent time to go into thoes of moral con-
Wilson's at the mere mention OF lot
terry wheel. But the question is, are we
any better than our ancestors, after
all?

Baton Rouge Advocate: The Webster
Signal, like other newspapers of its po-
litical procIivjties, will no doubt pretend
to be very much shocked at the Advo-
cate's inclination to defend the members
of the last legislature from the charge
of bribery and corruption. We have
this to say on the subject: Whenever
the Signal or any OF its friends can
bring forward proof against any indi-
vidual in that body rs conclusive as that
against Macune in his $4,000 deal with
Pat Calhoun, or as suspicious of guilt
as the exposure of Brother CIayton's
crookedness in the saughterhouse
scandal, then the Advocate will concede
that the Signal may be right. The Sig
nal must remember that Macune and
Clayton are representative men among
the Performers with whom its fac
ton has made a solemn political pact in
Louisiana, and it must pluck the beam
out OF its own eye before it looks for
the mote in the eye of others.

Christianity a Progressive Religion.

Our conception Of Christianity, if We
are real students Of it. i evermore a

of us. as an absolute thing, existing in
and by itself. is incapable of change,
truth as within Us, as a relative thing,
more or less apprehensible by Us, is ca
pable Of change, becoming by that very
fact a germ Potential Of all growth. As
a matter Of fact. the history Of Christian
ity Is ever and mon ~waymarked by
epochs Of Christian advance. Peter was
an advance upon John tie Baptist, Paul
upon Peter. John the Apostle upon Paul.
Athanasius was an advance upon Poly
carp, Augustine upon Athanasius, Calvin
upon Augustine. Each enlarged the
truth, not by adding, but by unfolding.
And so It comes TO pass that in this

This Dog Knew a Good Thing.

1t would be quite impossible for any liv-
ing being, it would seem, to be insensible
to the charms of camp life One morn
ing when the Listener was in camp, a
queer looking black dog of uncertain race,
but broad between the eyes, like all intelli-
gent dogs, suddenly popped into the place,
evidently upon some journey around the
lake. He looked about him in astonish-
ment, and then sat down and looked
again. Then he settled instantly down,
in a sort of glad, grateful way, which
was as much as to say, "This is exactly
the sort Of place that I've always been
looking for" Not another step did he
stir on the journey.
He adopted the camp from that mo-
ment and everybody in it, Nobody
knew where he came from or to whom
he belonged. He was total stranger to
the people who lived on the farm not
far away. He slept in front of the tent
atnight, and barked at any stranger who
came that way, and answered amiably
to the name Of Liberty Moses. No doubt,
when the camp broke up, he went back
to his more civilized home, wherevers it
was, but as long as that charming spot
remained in existence there was no other
place for him.-Boston Transcript.

A Shippers Slow Trip.

Skipper Norton" is character indig-

coast. He is well known to the house
wives along the shore as a peddler of small
wares, and travels about from port to
port in little schooner, acting in the
double capacity of captain and crew, de-
spite his age-upward of eighty years.
In a regent trip from Bristol, Me-, to
Portland harbor (where he now lies,
Skipper Norton had a hard experience.
Soon after leaving Bristol he encountered
heavy gale, and a sea swept the deck
of the vessel. carrying overheard both
anchors from the bows with hawser at
tached
He was unable to draw them in again,
and came all the way from Portland
with both dragging. 1t has become "a
fashion to visit this quaint old sea dog,
and visitors nearly always leave some
substantial tokens Of their appreciation
of his efforts to entertain them by song,
dance and yarn. He says when in port
his income thus derived is from fifty
cents to dollar day, besides what he
makes from his buttons and pins.-Lew-

Captain Maruire,s Devotion to Duty

Captain Maguire's Devotion to Duty.
Captain Mcguire, for years keeper of
the Marquette light, is one of the oldest
and most valued light keepers on the
Great lakes. His record is such that in
his old age the lighthouse inspectors
have winked at an arrangement by
which Mrs Mcguire has been his assist
ant, though this is fog signal station,
and woman assistants are forbidden by
the regulations. The captain did the
work, and two checks were regularly
made out by the department.
In March, without giving previous no
tice, Mrs. Mcguire decided to visit her
sisters in Chicago, and on the next visit of
the inspector the captain reported her for
absence from the light without permis-
sion. Since her return she has regularly
secured at the postof1ice the check bear
ing her name and used the money. Mrs.
Maguire's official head has now been
taken off. Captain Maguire's action in
promptly reporting his better half for
absence from duty without permission is
characteristic of the old keeper, who is
one of the oldest sailors on the great
lakes, and whose strict attention to his
charge has made his record as a light
keeper irreproachable. - Cor. Chicago
Tribune.
