BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE.

To the establishment of those on the dock
Willie soon rose to the surface with the boy
in his arms and struck out brayely for the
wharf. 1t was struggle between life and
death, but the lad did not falter, and in
spite of the strong current succeeded in
reaching the piles with his almost lifeleSs
burden. Graspng the big timber with one
hand and the limp form nj the ball-drowned
boy with the other the young hero could
make but little use of the Tope Il at was
lowered to him by those on the dock above.
Lower us the fender" shouted Willie,
as he caught hold Of the rope, and the brave
boy soon had his charge resting on the. big
timber. His IeScuer Then fastened the rope
around the rescued boys body and Willie
soon had the satisfaction of seeing the lad,
to save whose life lie had brayely risked his
own, hauled to the dock.
Again the rope was lowered and the
young hero was lifted ont of the water by
dozen willing hands. and at once started for
his home 10 change his clothes.
The half-drowned boy proved to be Rob-
bic Regan. 10 years old. who fell from the
wharf while fishing. Young Regain has his
home on Berry street, few doors above
where Willie Hamilton lives with his
parents at No. %.

A TOKEN OF APPRECIATION.


The friends of the brave boy employed
on the Mail Dock determined to show their
appreciation Of his herosm in a substantial
manner, and in short time sum of money
was collected TO purchase fine gold watch
and chain, and have big bright twenty
dollar piece left over. The time-pi is a
beauty, and on the outside is engraved the
monogram of the rescuer, While the inside
of the case bears this inscription:
Presented to Willie Hamilton by his friends on
the Pacific Mall Cock. for herOism, November 5,
1891.

self at the early age of 10 years, is a Native
Son Of the Golden West, having been born
in this city. and up TO the time lie began to
earn his own living attended the public
schools. He is a regular attendant of the
Lincoln Grammar Night-school at the
present time. Willie is very shy and un
assuming, and does not like to speak Of the
deed that has made him famous in his native
city.
He is highly spoken Of by the men on the
Mail Dock, and is we'll liked for mis- civil
and obligiug ways.

The New Convert.


1t is an axiom In politics and religion that
the new convert is always the most extreme.
This is a transparent rnse to make the world
believe he ia sincere-well grounded in the
faith. On the other hand, the sturdy old be-
lieyer. the stauneh member of a party, con,
scious of his own honesty and stability of pnr-
nose. needs not to assaiI the creed or motives
OF others, and looks with a feeling Of mingled
rier convict, even though he be on his own side
of the question, who is given to yelping around
and swapping at the heels of his betters.
We have been led into this train OF thought
while rejecting upon the conflicting charac-
~teristics of the editors of this State who are
opposing the lottery amendment. Show us a
%villifier and slanderer among them and we
will show ynu a man who has o dirty political
record. Per contra, Mr.. Hewitt OF the
DeSoto Democrat, Mr.. scanlad, ofthe Bos-
sier Banner, MIR. McGrath, of the Baton
Rouge Truth, Mr.. Hulse, of the Guardian
journal, Mr.. Grosjean, of the Caucasian, and
others that might be placed in this honored
class are, as John Hewitt used to style men
of their character, stswayback Democrats
Nevertheless. they are gentlemen, and do not
need, as evidence of their faith, to denounce
de- "bribe-takers, u "hirelings of Morris those
who think that the failare to secure for the
schools, the levees, and the charities of the
State a prineely revenue, within their grasp,
would be a deplorable mistake on the part of
the people and especially the taxpayers.
1t is true, our friend Grosjean sometimes
ventures dangerously near the verge, but is
evidently held back by his sense Of justice
and fairness.-Alexandria Times.

Alexandria Times: Mr.. Henry L. Garland,
of st. Landry, is one of the most thankful
men Of modern times. He thanks God that
we have the good fortune to have Gov. Mich
oils at the head of the State government.
And this reminds our c~onfrere of the Baton
Rouge AdUocate of the man who was wander
ing through the ruins of ancient Rome and
found a statue of Jupiter lying in the mud.
HE lifted it up, and wiped it as clean as be
could with his handkerchief, set it on its feet,
and said: .OId fellow, if You ever get up in
the world again, remember that | did you a
good turn in the days of your adversity.'o
Bnt this touching tribute to his excellency
BY Mr.. Garland and the theory Of the A0ocate
as to the prompting thereof was paid and
made before the action of the Lafayette con-
vention was known. The chances now are,
nay it amounts to an absolute certainty that
his exceIlency will never again have it in his
power to reward personal friends or punish
political enenlies-never again. Because of
his honorable wounds we would be pleased to
know that the remainder of the governors
life will be prosperous and peaceful, but be.
cause OF qualities needless to name, we trust
he may never again occupy an important
public station.

lecturer of the Farmers Union of Louisiana,
stating that the combine entered into be

that President Polk regards the action Of the

not which faction controls it. If they don't
