The Folly of Revenge

(Methodist Recorder
Revenge makes great promises,
but who eyer found them realized?
The sum total is generally disap-
pointment and often remOrse. Do
not think, though you may put
your nelgbor to shame by exposing
his peccadilIos, or thwart him in
his pursuit of position or In any
way hinder his success, that you
will be the happier. More likely,
if you have good material In you,
your se.f>esteem and manhood will
be deprecated iu your opinion. 1t
IS the ".lory" of a man "tO pass over
a transgression," aad it takes man
"the highest style of man." to do
1t. There are those whose conduct
Is calculated to excite anger and
resentment, bat we arc ia sad state

Owing to an error of the clerk
the name of Mr.. w. B. Thompson
was incorrectly entered as convic-
ted and sentenced, at the late term
of our district court, for carrying
concealed weapons. In publishing
the list of convictions in the CHRoN-
ICLE we were thus led into the mis-
take of including Mr.. T. among
them. We make this statement in
justice to Mr.. Thompson, who was
only before the court as witness,
and had no charge against him.

The weather reporter of the
Shreveport Times two or three
weeks ago predicted that we were
nearing one of the most destructive
storm periods of recent years. He
says the period of greatest dis
turbances will begin during the
early part of May next; that these
storms will be very severe, but will
not compare with those that will
occur later in this year and during
the first part of 1892. As if this
was not enough to scare the wits
out of most people, he goes on to
say that he is not a sensationalist,
and will probably be condemned
for his forecasts, but the occasion
demands it, and the future will
show he is right We shall see.

The City Item makes special
note Of what it is pleased to call a
"signiicent scene," upon the meet
ing of Ex-Gov. McEnery in the
st. Charles rotuuda with several
prominent citizens" who of course
treated him pleasantly and civilly.
Forthwith the ssignificent scene"
is reproduced in several of the
country paper, as was doubtless in
tended by the Item, and McEnery
receives little boom for popular
favor. As the st. Charles rotunda
is lonely deserted spot, it of
course makes this meeting of prom
inent citizens all the more remark
able. Give us q rest from thissort
of thing. If there is anything in
the signs of the times, the grooT-
ing Of old political horses for the
next race is likely to prove loves

The inventor of a handy and reliable
mode Of testing the purity of water
would deserve the thanks of the com
munity. It is TO be regretted that the
simple test of adding a little sugar,
which has lately been advocated, and
which is said to cause any organic mat
ter in the water TO appear after a whils
In the form of black specks, is of no
value whatever practically. The mis-
conception about the merit of this test
has probably arisen from the fact that
it was formerly used for the detection
of a fungus supposed to be peculiar To
sewage. A bottle containing sugared
water was placed in strong light and
kept at a temperature of 80 degs. Fab
renheit for several hours
The turbidity thus developed was
found. under the microscope, TO con
sist of small spherical cells Heisch be-
heved that these cells evidenced the
contamination of the water by sewage.
but Franklin showed that the spores of
this particular fungus were present in
all waters that had been even moment
arily exposed to the air. and that their
development was due simply 20 the
presence of phosphates in the water.
The addition of even minute trace of
any phosphate was sufficient 10 cause
such development in any water under
the conditions stated. New York Com
