Letters From the PeonIe-

We are not responsible for the opin-
ions of correspondents. All comm mi =

thor, not for publication but AS a guar
ant"e of good faith.
Bayou Sara, La. May Both, 1892.
Edr. One week
having elapsed since the robbery
of the ballots from the Clerk 5
office, l wish to inquire through
your paper why this outrage has
not been investigated and the gull
ty parties brought before a Court
of Justice. Never before has such
a disgraccful deed been committed
in the parish of West Feliciana.
and it justly receives the codcmn-
alton of all rejecting citizens
throughout the State.
Those ballots were part of the
records of the Clerks Office under
the care and custody of the Clerk,
and 1t devolves upon HIM to leave
nothing undone to ferret the mat
ter out. The law requires that
the Clerks Office be kept open
from 10 a. m. TO 4 p. m. each day

of the week, and for the faithful
performance OF his duty and tho
custodianslf:p of the records the
Clerk has to give bond IN the sun,
of 50, 900. 1T has been h,s habit
as he himself says, Of leaving his
key with MeSSrs. Ellhournc & Co.
during his absence from the Par
ish. They should be required to
say to whom it WAS gwen on this
particular night. There being no
evidence of violence in cffccting
an entrance into the office he KEY
undoubtedly was used and the
Clerk is responsible for any loss
or damage sustained by the alb
scncc of the ballots.
Failure To investigate this matter
Is but encouraging further lawlcSs-
ness, and it such condition of
affairs is to exist, the sooner it is
announced the better.

Terrible.

The Gainesville Currant American
has the following in a recent issue,
from Nacoma, kaL.:
"The village was thrown into a
state Ct excitement yesterday by an
occurrence which has no parallel in
point of justification and sensation
Yesteicry mornings service in the
Methodist church was largely attend
ed, and the pulpit was occupied by
Rev. J. W. Ward, who is a great ad-
mirer of Rev. Sam Jones, the evange-
list. During the course of his ser
mon Rev. Ward took occasion to tx.
tol MIR. Jones in such terms as to
cause alarm to his memt ers. as he
wrought himself up in a frenzy OF ex-
element He declared that it would
give him the prcfoundest pleasure to
see those who are ridicnling Sam
Jones consigned to a literal hell,
where they would sizzle and burn
Throughout eternity, and that he
would rather believe God is d lie, than
Sam Jones had not accc mplished
even more for the good of mankind
than Jesus Christ. He carried n in
a blasphemous manner some time,
when he brought the thing to sud
den climax by standing on his tip
toes, stretching his right hand to-
ward Heaven with index figure poin-
ted into space, and with demoniac
laugh said vehemently:
Il declare from this pulpit to this
people and all the world that Rev
Sam jones is pre-eminent when COM
pared tc Jesus Christ, and in evidence
OF this belief I call upon Gcd to par
ali5e me here and now if it is not I
3d."
Scarcely had the words died on his
lips when he became rigid and
CHASTITY pallor overspread his counte-
nance, his hand remained pointing to
the ceiling.
CONSERVATION which seized the au-
dienoe is not within the scope of bu-
man imagination, much less within
the power of humhn pen to describe,
for there stood man, the monu-
ment OF the wrath of Almighty, for
he died to evoke display of his in
hn'te power Strong men trembling
approached hin and when they laid
hold OF him they found it impossible

He was standing in the same pos
ure since IL O'Clock Sunday morning

Let's Have q Change.


The experience of years ,ntluc.
ed us to say in one Of our issues
ofthc year 1890, that the levee
system IN vogue on the Mississippi
river and tributaries. did not af-
ford the protection anticipated,
and limited at the probability thu,
the outlet theory woult-<oon re.
ccive the consideration that, in on,
opinion, it deserved.
The additional experience of the
two seasons following has not only
confirmed us IN our expressed be-
lief but convinced us that the
levcc syctc:i, as now conducted
without any otncr adjunct, is an
absolute injury.
We witness yearly the augment
ed height of these embankments
which are conducive to fancicel
security only, and we arc witness
es also to the continued increase
of the column of water that visits
It's nearly every season, in almost
an exact proportion to the increas-
ed height of the levees.
With these walls on both sides
extending almost from the upper
end of the Mississippi aid its
chief tributaries, to the junction
of the former with the Gulf OF
Mexico, it is evident that the ac-
emulation of deposit in this low
err river must lift the column of
water. For lnstance-a column
OF water ten feet high will be
tacelve feet high if the ground ov-
er which it runs is elevated to the
extent of two feet.
The outlet system proposed by
Mcssrs. feathers and Cowden
though defective, would, If adopt
ed, be a step in the right direc-
ton.
A judicious combination of the
;wo systems-outlet and levee-
will rectify the deficiencies and
lcfccts of the methods now pur-
ued, and the people who suffer
% severely from the repeated ov-
'rfiows, are entitled to have the
advantages of the plan suggested,
thoroughly considered and tested.
t will pay the people to turn their
ttcntion to this matter, better
han all the party politics that can
&c crowded in between Maine and
ieorgia.

No reader of eastern tales but has cherished fond delusions of sherbet, and no schoolboy but has fancied he possesses the real thing in the acidulated powder which "fizzes" so provokingly when you are thirsting for drink. The real Per sian sherbet seems to be simply glass of cold water with lump of sugar in it; but it may be favored endlessly. Thus there are sherbets prepared with sirups of raspberry or pineapple, with lemon, orange or pomegranate juice. The water must be always cold. and if possible have blocks of frozen snow floating in the cup, but the mixture should never effervesce Thus perishes another illusion. The most expensive of all sherbets, popular only among the higher classes. is made from the distilled flowers of d particular kind of willow.-All the Year Round

 "You were right, dear,' she says, "my first picture is Academy Hill."
 The art critic pronounces the picture Nunilue in design, and full of promise in the execution. The glimpse of winter landscape is faultlessly beautiful, but the chief interest must centre about the two young girls in the old doorway. The wild despair of the one, and the tender pity oi the other, are portrayed with a power born only of love, while the name, Hope's Birthplace suggests mystery, which, doubtless, the artist could unfold" Doubt. less she couldi

L1Nco'LN's FoRcEFuL ENGLISH.

The clean-cut, compact sentences of Lincoln have always been surprise to those who appreciated the fact that he never had, so called, educational advan- tages. Some of his speeches are models of forceful English, and the method by which he acquired this power of express sion is worthy of the attention of every young man in the land. The following story was recently told by Prof. John P. Gulliver, of Andover, in 8 sermon. He day asked him how it was that he acquir- ed such remarkable control of the lan- guage:
 "Well," said the future president, in a slow, easy way, Eff Eve got any power that way, I'll tell you how suppose l came to get it. You see, when I was a boy, over in Indiana, all the local poli- ticians used to come to our cabin to dis cuss politics with my father. And used to sit by and listen to them, but father wouldn't let me ask many questions, and there were 8 good many things I didn't understand. Well, I'd go up to my room in the attic and sit down, or pace back and forth, till made out just what they meant. And then I'd lie awake for hours oftentimes, just a-putting their ideas into words that the boys round our way could understand"
 While>was trying to hammer his politi. cal ideas into the heads of his tri-rustie companions, he was unwittingly laying the foundation for career whose fame will go down in centuries.
