This was not a conclave of society girls
talking Of their gowns. their proposals, or
their summer plans after some grand ball
or equally swell entertainment. These were
wage earners happy despite their hardships
and as luxury loving as though $40 didn't
mean boarding and expenses for seven
whole days.
The lucky "she'' Miss Blue Eyes had re-

who had been selected to go abroad with
the buyer of the firm to learn how it was
done, so that ultimately she would step
into her teachers shoes.
"Now Nell, you needn't look so Rlum,"
said a voice from an armchair where non

HAVING dictated the nomination OF
Whitelaw Reid because he secured the
removal of the embargo on American
pork in France, Mr.. Harrison proceeded
to capture the support of the man who
controls the American pork market at
home by naming Armour's lobbyist as
his campaign manager. It is evident
that Mr.. Harrison intends to 60 the
whole hog, pork barrel and all. P. S.
Since the above was put III type the
lobbyist has declined out of Difference
to public sentiment, but the pork in the
Armour campaign barrel is still rich and
fat.

Journal means other methods OF pre-
venting the passage of free coinage
bill. It cannot mean anything else, Tor
it has already declared against such ac-

restore silver to its time-honored place.
We respectfully refer the Journal to the
letter published in another part OF this
paper from Thomas G. Merrill, who ef-
fectually disposes of the monetary con-

All the elephants used in the Indian army
as draught animals in the artillery or COM
mssariat, or rs baggage animals in the
transport department, are very carefully at.
tended to. and IN every way treated with
the greatest consideration. Their keep is
rather expensive, being about thirty rupees,
or seventeen dollars, a day, including, of
course. the wages of their mahout and
grass cutter. They are fed principally on
unhusked rice and grass; Of the former they
get about two hundred and fifty pounds
and of the latter about four hundred pounds
per diem. The very large female eats, aft
er the first day or two. about seven hundred
and fifty pounds of green fodder in eighteen
hours; this is exceeded often by large tusk-
ers, 30 that about eight hundred pounds is
| about the night amount to be placed before
ull-grown elephant. with q margin to sl-
low for waste. As good load for An ele-
phant is about 800 pounds, it will be seen
that the amount he will eat per day will be
as much as he can carry, and this will also
be the right proportion for the smaller ones.

ed by the secretary Of war 10 deliver to
him the forty odd ca;tiemen now ut

rustlers axe supposed to have cut the

lnade to get dispatches through but
have failed. Governor Barber is anx-
ious to get communication with Fort
Mckinney. 1t is now admitted that
the removal of the prisoners from Fort
Mckinney to Douglas would be very
hazardous, as it is certain the rustlers
will try to kill them on the way. Every
hour adds more ssrions aspect to the
situation. The friends of the invading
cattlelue. are sure they cannot get JUS

Governor Barber has not notified Gen
eral Brooke whether he will receive the
prisoners. Public sentimeut is turning
in favor of the rustlers.

LOUISIANA ELECTION,

Chosen Goycruor.
NEW ORLEANS, April 19.-Tho polls
Closed here at = y. H., after tha most
important and one of the qnie,est cleo
tons ever held in the state. Reports
from all parts of the state show that the
heaviest legitimate vote in years has
been poll"d, but owing to the large
number of tickets in the fell and nu-
merous officers voted for returns are re-
ceived slowly. There We're FIVE state
tickets voted for, one headed by Nc
Emery, Dem, one by Foster, DEM, one
by Breaux, Rep, one by Tannehill,
Peoples party, and one by Leonard,
Rep. kilograms being received indi-
cate that McEnery has failed to
maintain the strength displayed
in the March primaries. In some of
the large parishes which are thickly
populated and where there was a fair
prospect of negro control prominent
Democrats went over to Foster and in
consequence his vote in some of these
parishes is 60 large as to make it almost
certain that he has succeeded in the
state over all tickets in the field.
AT late hour returns show that the
Foster ticket has been elected by a
plurality of 10000 or more. Fitzpatrick
is elected mayor of New Orleans by
about 10000. Foster people will also
control the legislature.
