Mr.. Geo. W. Dupre, one Of the
editors Of the New Orleans States,
charged with sending through the
mails copies Of his paper containing
lottery advertisements, fled his an
swer before the Z nited States Circuit
Court, last week. His answer is
that hi. paper was regularly issued
prior to the passage of the Law and
that he has been using the mails all
along to convey his paper to his
subscribers, and that the lottery he
has advertised and is advertising is
a body corporate chartered and
created by act Is, Of the session OF
1873 of the Louisiana Legislature,
and article l6' Of the constitution
Of 1879, Of the State of Louisiana,
and that he published such adver-
in consideration OF the
usual prices for printing and pub
fishing advertisements in his paper,
and in the ordinary course Of the
business Of publisher of . newspa-
per. He, therefore, prays to be
discharged from the indictment
preferred against him.

THE DESIRE OF HAPPINESS

The desire Of happiness as tae
supreme good, Is mans great er-
ror. Not that each one Of us
should not be happy. for this desire
ia a natural instinct Of our race aud
came from the Creator; but N IN
seeks happiness As q concrete SUBJ
stance, as If it were to be found ex-
isting in some fancied state where
a. happiness Is not q cause, but IN
efect--not . tree but its fruit.
The ambitious man thinks when
he shall attain power he will be
happy; the cOvetous believe it lies
in riches and accumulation; the
gormand in delicious viands; the
libertine in gratifying base passion;
but all when they attain these things.
are miserable still. and have to say
with Solomon. 'All il vanity and
vexatiOn Of spirit" That is, they
are not only vain and empty Of
themselves, but add vexation to the
spirit of man.
But God made man to be happy
through virtue. uprighteousness and
truth; and where righteousness 10
sought, happiness follows or
flows As q result. ITO be good
is to be happy"-not to be
great or rich CT honored. Hap
piness is a result Of righteousness,
or rs our ancestors wrote the word,
'rightwisness." or right w,sdom-aI
wisdom guiding us in doing rigat.
There il happiness for all, jlst as
there is food enough for all but as
We don't seek food from sands and
barren rocks, 80 We need not seek
in the burning sands Of
earthly qualifications, or hard rocks |
Of honor or position, but in loving |
and serving God. and doing to 9TH
ers as We wish them to do unto Us. |

NEW POSTMASTER.

We see, BY . dispatch to tn,
Times-Democrat, from Washington
that A. E. Fonteneau has been ap.
pointed postmaster at this place,
vice Chas. Heiutz, ST., removed.
This news was received with sur
prise and regret BY Cur citizens.
Mr.. Fonteneau - not . citizen Of
our town, and is almost unknown
here. He is . resident Of Maude-
vile, whore We believe he IL one Of
the Aldermen. We first met him
last year, when he was one Of the
United States census enumerators.
Mr.. Heintz, who was appointed
postmaster under President Cleve-
land, 10 An old oitisen and ex-Mayor
Of our town, AID has given univer-
sal satisfaction to the public, being
prompt in the performance Of his
duties, and was in all respects q
most efficient and pains-taking post
master. His removal is q source of
regret to everybody. We were al
ways under the impression thar the
postmaster Of an important Office
like that Of Covington was required
to be . citizen Of the town, or al
resident within five miles of the
Office, but in this it seems we were
mistaken. Since the department
has seen at to send . stranger here
to take charge Of our postoflloe,
perhaps it might As we'll be Mr..
Fonteneau As anybody else, but it
seems to Us that it would have been
more appropriate, If political ex-
demanded . change, to
nave selected . citizen Of the town
" vicinity for the position.
The new appointee has not yet
AIKEN possession of the Office.

An old scythe blade is procured,

then securely spiked or screwed ia

twenty or more feet long, AMI the
base Of the pole set securely in the
ground. The blade should be se-
cured tn the pole 40 - to stand at
an angle Of about Is degrees.
When the owl lights upon it to

sure to do), he slides gradually
down toward the top of the pole,
the sharp blade cutting his toes
meanwhile. When tae pain Is felt

THE COTTON PICKER AND
THE NEGRO.

The trial Of the Todd cotton
picker which took place near Mem.
phis. on Saturday last, was a per-
feet success in every particular,
and greatly pleased committee OF
prominent cotton factors and plant
ers who witnessed the tests.
1t was shown that the machine gath
cred all the open cotton without in
the slightest degree injuring the
young bolle, AMI thu calculation
based on the amount OF cotton pick
ed and the time in doing it show
ed that the machine in one day will
d. the work Of about Is men.
II the machine comes IN general
use, which now seems certain, the
occupation Of the negro will be
gone in the South, aud he will be
compelled to engage in other pur-
suits to gain his livelihood, but at
the same time the cotton crop will
be largely increased and will Yield
= much greater profit to the plan
ter, Is the greatest expense attend
ing the raising Of cotton lies in the
wages paid for picking. and often,
owing to the scarcity OF labor,
planters are compelled to allow =
great deal Of cotton to rot in the
fields. A successful picking ma
chine will revolutionize the cotton
growing industry Of the Southern
States, and at the same time almost
double the acreage and the yield,
because it Is . well known fact that
with the improved agricultural ma
chinery now at the command Of
everv farmer, Or even without it,
i've men can plant and raise more
cotton than twice the number Of men
can gather from the boil therefore
