1892 LEAF YEAR.
A Few Words from the Pen Of Edith
Sessions Topper.

Has it occurred to You, ladies, that
1892 is leap year ?
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky
and tell each despalring maid that her
hour approaches. Not for long will. she
be forced to pine in solitude, blush I'M
seen and waste her sweetness on the
desert air. Her day is coming-the
hour in which she can corner the young
man of her choice and tell him that life
without him will be void, d bowling
wilderness. She can soothe his agita-
ton, quiet his fiuttering heart, press his
manly form in her arms and kiss him
smack on the mouth even it he should
resist.
Ring out, wild bells, aud tell the CO.
quettish widow to lay in an extra stock
of war paint and tomahaWks, for her
hour is, too, at hand. Never back ward
or sigh her preferences, she will be at
her perihelion during 1892. Aud vain
will be- the attempt Of man to escape
from the sunshine of her affection. He
who trusts himself in the society OF
some mans relict in leap year is lost.
Ring out, wild bells, and tell those
who have lost even the semblance OF
hope-those ancient virgins who have
looked through many a weary year for
the man to come and have ever been
disapponted-that hope is not dead
even for them that the door Of oppOI-
tunity will soon be ajar and they alone
will be to blame if they enter not, aye,
and shut and barricade it behind them.
Woman goes through life in one
half, one third, one-quarter sort of
fashion. Even in the most important
step of her career she is condemned TO
wait. She must stand back with her
finger in her mouth and watch the man
she would prefer drift from her with
out making sign Of distress.
But some philanthropist, to whom
women should be eterDally grateful, or
dained that once in four years they
should have whack at proposing.
Leap year is deseryedly popular with
the ladies.
And the men-what of their feelings
in the matter? Do they, timid, shy,
frightened lambs. wish to be pursued
Small difference to the reso1ute woman
who proposes to do matrimonial bust
ness. She cares not for timidity or coy
ness. Her time for diminishing is short
it must be fierce.
Rouse, maids and widows! the battle
field is open for the conflict.
EDITH SESSIONS UPPER.
St. Landry democrat., 1892-01-02
Nobility.

True worth is being-not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good-not i'll dreaming
OF great things to do by and by;
For whatever men say III blindness,
And spite of the fancles of youth,
There's nothing SO kindly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right;
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing Of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
We cannot make bargains for blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets.
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which il gets
For good lieth not i'll pursuing,
Nor gaining of great or of SMALL
1 BE just III the doing, and doing
4 as we would be done by, is all.
FThro envy, thro' malice thro' hating,
Against the world early and late,
No jot of courage abating-
Our part is to work and to wait;
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or BIRTH

rIRE OUT THE PIKE.

Tho Old HomoutoRd of MrH Andrew p.
woods burned Early Yesterday Morn
Ing.
The residence Of the late Mrs. Andrew
P. Woods, on the National road near
Elm Grove, was destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning. The FIRE originated
in the kitchen chimney, and was sup
posed to have been smoulderiDg for
some time. The house has been occu-
pied by Mr.. G. r. Hubbard and family
since the death of Mrs. Woods. Mr..
Hubbard's individual loss will amount
to probably 500. The house iS COM
plete wreck, and the total loss will be
about $4,000, on which there is an in
surance Of 81, 500 in the Fire and Marine
company, of this city.
The house destroyed was willed to
Miss Warner, a distant relative OF Mrs.
Woods, during her lifetime, and after
her death was to 60 to the stone
Church" (Presbyterian) for parsonage.
The dwelling was mostly frame,
and was one OF the oldest struct'
ures in the county, but had been remod-
eled Of late years. Most OF the furni-
ture in the house was saved owing to
the efforts of the neighbors who were
aroused by the alarm sent out by the
inmates OF the dwelling.

The Council committee on eeualiza-
ton and appeals put in another full
day yesterday. In the forenoon the
petitions received, numbering in all
since the day before close to a hundred,
were referred to the appropriate ward
subcommittee and the rest OF the
time was put in comparing the books,
the same occupation taking up the
afternoon, as the rain prevented the
sub.committees from getting about out
OF doors.
Another long list of reductions was
made. 1t is estimated that at the rate
go far there will BIO reduction OF at
least a million dollars made by the
committee from the assessors figures.
The number OF complaints will certain
ly reach above thousand, and 30 far
the committee has recognized the JUS

OF cases.
There was constant stream Of callers
at the city building yesterday to ex.
anime their books, and at least one OF
every three made out petition for
reduction.

is deep and general, and some OF it in

A strange Fire.

People residing in the vicinity OF
Thirty-ninth and Jacob streets were
treated to novel spectacle yesterday
afternoon by one OF the trolley poles OF
the electric car line suddenly bursting
forth in flames without any apparent
cause. 1t is supposed that the pole
became so heavily charged with cleo
trlcity from the wires, that had become
crossed, that it heated the pole so that
it ignited. It was only extinguished by
the heavy rain that was falling, after
the pole had been badly charred. The
novelty OF the affair drew quite num-
Der OF people.

Azure Accident
Last evening the town of Brilliant,
Ohio, was thrown into a state Of excite
ment by the report that Richard Boyle,
aged seventy-three years, who keeps a
general store at that place, was shot and
instantly killed by William Campbell,
aged thirteen years. There were many
wild rumors as to the cause, but after
the matter was sifted down it was dis
covered that the tragedy was the result
OF an accident.
Young Campbell went into Boyle's
store last evening and while looking at
some self.cocking revolvers tried to fit
some cartridges in a gun he held in his
hand. In some accidental manner the
pistol was suddenly discharged, the ball
entering Mr.. Boyle's breast, causing in
slant death.
So far nothing has been done to APP
prehend tho boy, as he was entirely
guiltless OF malicious intent.

How Missouri's Vote WIll Re Cnst.

ST LOUIS, Mo, Nov. The political situ.
alton In Missouri is not much changed. The
democrats will carry nearly everything.
Chairman Boutwell, OF tho republican com
mittee said to an Associated press reporter
tonight that he was avorse to making snv
attempt TO give figures, but said he felt con
naent OF the material reduction of the usual
uenocratic pluralitios On the state ticket.
AS to congressman. he conceded one district
the Tenth-safe, and felt that four others,
Which he declined to specify, were doubtful.
CHAIRMAN Salmon of the democratic eXecu-
1--WE commitleo was serenely confident, but
would give no figures either. He did say,
however, that he had not the slightest doub,
mat Missouri would give one OF her old time
democratic maiortics, also electlng fourteen
democratic congressman, with fine chance
Tor the whole. The peoples and prohibition
ucKets VIII scarcely affect the fina! result,
ana these votes have not been taken into,
