not known, but from the well-known

Our Choice for Governor.

The extracts below, taken from
few of the most influential journals i'll
Louisiana, plainly shows the wave Of
sentiment in reference to one of the
candidates named for gubernatorial
houors at the coming election in this
State-they we'll voice the opinions
of large majority of those who favor
good government and progress in Lou
isiana. For these particular reasons
the same are reproduced with more
than pleasure. Besides it allows the
DEMOCRAT an opportunity to follow
suit, and announce its choice for this
high position.
Nearly every country paper in the
State has come ont in language bold
in favor of Samuel D. McEnery, the
"great levee governor" as be is called,
and we feel that we would be wrong
and inconsistent, to say the least,
were we to name another against him.
In 1883 we backed McEnery
against Nichols, and argued all the
time that he was the man of men fol
the place the records only show how
near right we were. AS we were then
so are we now.
McEnery's record is above reproacb;
as Democrat be stands as solid as
the rocks of Gibraltar, and is peer.
less patriot and statesman.
His opponents know that he will
arouse the people, and as an exchange
says, will tell them of the conspiracy
that threatens their Liberties and theil
prosperity. He will unite the Demo
cratic party, and lead its banner tc
victory. He is the man of men to pu
in the governors chair, and the true
and tired sons of Louisiana are going
to elect him over Nichols, Adams
Foster, Behan, or any other man.
For the sake of our State and be-
people give US, once again, Samue
D. McEnery, Of Ouachita, for Cover
nor.

The nnanimily with which the
press of our State is indorsing Sam
uel Douglas McEnery as the next
Democratic nominee for Governor
voices sentiment of confidence and
profound esteem that per,ueates our
entire people. A veteran of sound
Democratic principles, statesman of
uuimpeachable integrity, champion
of Stales' rights and the Constitution
as framed and interpreted by our fore
fathers, true and tried patriot whose
record shows so many noble works
and sacrifices in behalf of the good of
his people, he stands to-day sans peur
ct sans reproche a beloved idol of all
true Democrats and an admired oppo-
nent by those who differ with him on
questions of public policy. His splen-
did magnanimity shown Gov. Mich

when in the face of mean calumny,
low villifcation and false accusations
beaped upon his devoted head by
shyster political enemies, be took the
field for Nichols candidacy, and like
hero "led a forlorn hope" to pre-
serve the unity and harmony of the
Democratic party and to secure the
election of the very opponent who had
elected snch storm of abuse against
him. This god-lika conduct showed
McEnery to be above all political as
piratious, above all factional spite or
personal prejudice, above mean jeal-
ousy or fanaiical strife. 1t elevated
him above friends and foes, because
it was patriotism that is seldom wit
messed in any country. Will Gov.
Nichols do as much for McEnery iu

latter will allow his name to be put
before that bodyf We will see.-

New Lakes on Mars.

There is one point Of view from which
the formation of a new lake in southern
California by the overhowing Of sandy
desert with water from the Colorado
river possesses peculiar interest. II may
throw light upon some of the mysterious
changes that have occurred upon the
planet Mars. Near the equator OF Mars
there is region which has been believed
to be part OF the dry land Of that planet,
and which has been named LYDIA by the
Italian astronomer Schiaparelh
But a few years ago a change occurred
In the color Of ''Lybia," and some Of the
observers thought that it must have
been suddenly overAowed with water.
since it had assumed the color charac-
teristic Of the other regions Of Mars that
are supposed 10 be water covered.
Other similar changes have been seen
by telescopists on Mars.
Now that a new lake has actually been
formed on the earth by the unexpected
filling up lth water of depressed area
Of dry land, those who believe that 3
nmilar occurrence. on larger scale, has
taken place on Mars viii probably be
strengthened in that interesting opinion

Plenty of Game.

Now that the game law is of, our
woods will swarm with hunters of all
descriptions, from the ''cockney" sports
man down Tor up) to the professional
hunter. There are generally four hunt
ers to one bird, and we have known men
tramping all day and bringing home two
or three little chirping birds. 1t is this
class of hunters who do the most damage,
as they are not capable of shooting game
birds, and pepper away at any and every
little bird they see, till there are hardly
any left. Our local hunters say that there
will be plenty of game this season. Gen
orally speaking we have fair, mild win
ter, very little crust on the snow and but
few ice storms.
The severe ice storms destroy more
quail than the hunters kill, because quail
generally roost together on the ground,
and if snow falls during the night and
crusts over, it simply smothers them.
Hunters have found whole hocks Of
them lying close together, having been
unable to penetrate through the crust.
There were never so many focks of quail
around as at present Go where you
will you will find them. A large flock
passed over the fair ground Wednesday
afternoon while the trotting took place,
which made some Of our hunters mouths
water.
Partridges are also very plenty, and,
what is still be they are full grown
and plump. Of woodcock we have seen
but few. Years ago they were plenty
every season in our swamps, but the
summer shooting has killed them of,
and but very few breed in our swamps
now. The fall fight generally brings
few scattering ones, but as they are
migratory bird and fly principally dur
ing the nighttime. we get but now and
then chance to shoot at them. There
are also plenty Of foxes, and our hunters
don't need TO go very far TO find them If
they only know how, as Reynard Is
cunning and sly chap.-Watertown On.

For the Eagle.
HE WOULD QUOTE LATIN.

There walked into the sanctum on a
cold and gloomy day
A long-haired individual with mlen quite
blithe and gay
Beneath his arm he carried bag of or
ange tint,
And in it WAS an article the editor should
yrint
1t treated of the evils that bowed this
country down;
1t had cure for every i'll, smile for
every frown;
The great financial mesh it could straight
en- in a minute,
But what the editor kicked on was the
Latin that was in it,
There was 'ad astra per aspera," status
quo" and ''verbum sat,
In hoe signo vinces," ''per contra" and
all that;
"Modus operandi," /" "ne plus ultra" and
then sub rosa too;
"De gustibus non est disputantum, quite
long enough 10 do;
"Ad libitum," lid genus orme," "hOno
soft qui NAL y pense."
"Non sequitur," and other words that
didn't quite make sense;
"Sic semper tyrannis," ''nota bene" and
even ''probatum est"
With "veni, vidi, vici," just to give the
matter Zest,
"Flagrante delictu" in spot quite out of
place,
And "mirabile dictu"-'twould have hard
ened any face;
"De profundis," "sui generis," pro bono
publico,"
''vox popuii, vox Dei," post be!lum." I"
''quid pro quo;" :.
"MulIum in parvo," mon est investus, !"
''exceptis probat regulam,"
And words that in good English weren't
worth millwright's dam.
'E pluribus unum," was one OF his many
breaks,
Aud laura seminalis," enough to give a
man the shakes;
30 temporal o moresp at the people and
the times,
"Sic gloria transit mundi," that could
stand much hotter climes;
Omnibus hoe vitium est"-he had 1t very
bad,
And lad nauseum" twas mean en- ough to
make sea dog sad;
But space forbids a mention of all the
Latin words he used,
Or the names of all the people who he in
turn abused.
The editor read it through once-there
WAS blood in his right eye,
Which betokened to the printers that
some one had to die;
He meyer moved muscle, he did not draw
But well be knew the writer would ne'er
see another sun;
He simply pressed the button-the trap
door did the rest,
And wrote ''requiescat in pace" on the
boards his feet last pressed.

LITTLE MRS. ABBOTT IN LONDON.

Mrs. Annie Abbott, ''the little Georgia
wonder" who puzzled audiences in Kan
sas City last spring with her inexplicable
feats of strength, is making a sensation
in London. A cable dispatch says:
Gan the London newspapers have
given columns to her expert occult ex
periments, and viciously quarrel over the
alleged phenomena. Even the staid
Times has opened its columns to letters
on the subject. Mrs. Abbott is reported
to get 81, 600 for each performance. The
Alhambra is crowded nightly as never
before. Besides her regular engage
ments Mrs. Abbott has given many pri-
vate shows to skeptics. Charlie Mitchell
tried 10 lift her and utterly failed. Every
night some stalwart guardsman is on the

strength with Mrs. Abbott, but no one

If Texas continues to develop rich
mineral deposits for a few years longer
at the rate of the past few years it will
not be great while until it is recognized
as one of the richest. For years siagu-
lar deposit there has been regarded as
absolutely worthless. Now it turns
out to be "brown COAL" such as is
found and successfully used throughout
Germany. The area of these deposits is
five hundred miles long by thirty broad,

sheet. 1t is printed in Democratic Mis-
souri, but tones its Democracy down a
very great deal from the fact that eight
tenths of its readers live in radical Re-
publican Kansas The Star talks high
license for Missouri and prohibition for
Kansas because of the combined facts
above alluded to. The Star in its Mon
day's issue says that the only hope for
prohibition in Kansas is in the Republi-
can party. just so. If the EAGLE had
majority of its readers among the red
nosed Democrats of Missouri 1t might
with equal propriety, but no less of
hypocracy, exhort its whisky soaked
patrons down there to stand by the party
OF which the Star is an organ. There
would be no principle in such advise but
there would be policy in it. But the Star
sees vet more in its advocacy of prohi-
bition for the republican party in Kan
sas. The Star looks at Kansas through
spectacles borrowed from the demo
cratic victory up in Iowa, where pri-
marily, prohibition has wiped out the
republican party, and the Star fears that
the republican party of Kansas might,
next year, conclude to let the prohibi-
tion law take its chances with other laws
and refuse to pnt it into the state plat
form. That's what's the matter with the
Star as it regularly rubs the rounded
belly of its entire editorial staff up
against the counter of the nearest high
license Missouri bar and drinks to prohi
bition in Kansas

Asks 3. 600 for sitting on q TACK.
A great many suits have been entered
against the Traction company, but the
queerest one Of all has been instituted
by Otto Kramer. who sues it for 5000
damages, the result of sitting down upon
a tack. The statement which Mr.. kra-
mer makes regarding the casualty Is
rather incomplete. he found the tack
in the cane seat of a car. The manner
of finding the tack was simple but ef-
fective Mr. Kramer went into the car
aud sat right down upon the tack. He
probably got right up again, although
this fact is not mentioned in the court
statement, but the damage had been
done. The wound he suffered led to Rb-
cesses.
The tack could not have been Of tbs
ordinary carpet variety, as it protruded
up through the bottom of the seat, and
protruded very badly at that. Mr..
Kramer did not give the number of the
car in his statement, and, therefore,
there is no means of knowing whether
that particular tack has been driven back
to place of safety or whether it Is still
lurking for unconscious victims.-Phila-
