FIRE AND SWORD.
Graphic Word-PatntIng of the Fall of New
Orleans.

Orleans.
The huge, writhing river, risen up
above the town, was full to the levee's
top, and, as though the enemys feet
was that much more than it could bear,
was silently running over by hundred
rills into the streets of the stricken
city.
AS far as the eye could reach, black
smoke, white smoke, brown smoke and
| red flames rolled and spread and licked
and leaped, from unnumbered piles of
cotton bales and wooden wharves, and
ships cut adrift, and steamboats, that
blazed like shavings, floating down the
harbor as they blazed.
He stood for moment to see a little
revenue cutter-a pretty topsail schoon-
crying atthe foot of Canal street,
sink before his eyes in the turbid yell
low depths of the river, scuttled Then
he hurried on. Huge mobs ran to and
fro in the fire and smoke, bowling,
breaking and stealing.
Women and children hurried back
and forth like swarms of giant ants,
with buckets and baskets and dippers
and bags and bonnets, hats, petticoats,
anything-now empty, and now full of
rice and sugar and meal and corn and
sirup-and robbed each other, and
cursed and fought, and slipped down in
pools of molasses, and threw live pigs
and coops of chickens into the river,
and, with one voiceless rush, left the
broad levee a smoking, cracking desert
when some shells exploded on burn
gunboat, and presently were back again
like flock of evil birds.
1t began to rain.
But the victorious ships, with bare
black arms stretched wide, boarding
nettings up, and the dark muzzles of
their guns bristling from their sides,
came, silently as a nightmare, slowly
around the bend at Slaughterhouse
point, and moved up the middle of the
harbor.
At the French market he found him
self, without forewarning, witness of
sudden sl1irmish between some Gascon
and Sicilian marketmen, who had
waved welcome to the fleet, and some
Texan soldiers who resented the treason.
The report of musket rang out,
second and third re-echoed it, a pistol
crack. and another and another. There
was rush for cover; another shot and
another resounded in the market-house,
and presently in the street beyond.
Then, IN 3 moment, all was silence
and emptiness, into which there ven
tured but q single STOPPING, peeping

THE SENDING OF A GIFT.
a Little Advice In Regard to a Very Deli
cate Subject.

cate subject
Beyond the choice and planning of
work intended for a present, the execu-
ton of it should be careful and pains
taking from beginning to end, that it
may be worthy both of giver and re-
ceiyer. 1t must be faultlessly clean
and fresh when offered, and however
simple, the best of its kind that can be
done. When finished and ready to be
given, the wrapping of the gift is no
unimportant matter, and if daintily
managed goes far toward the making
of a first pleasursble impression. To
begin with the paper string or whatever
is used in folding it up should be per-
fectly new and unused; for once Miss
Economy must not go to her stores Of
wrapping paper and string saved to be
used over again, but for this purpose
should buy what is required The
gift should first be folded in white It's
sue paper and tied around with ribbon,
inside of which is slipped either the
visiting card or a Christmas card with
words of greeting written on the back.
The ordinary wrapping paper comes
outside of all, which, If the package be
delivered by messenger or given in the
home circle, may again be tied about
with ribbon, and perhaps a piece OF
holly fastened in with the bow. The
ribbon, except when other shades are
required in special cases, should be
either white or scarlet. but blue may
be used for love gift. One hint fur
Their before coming 20 the practical
questions OF planning and making: In
deciding on the list OF those to whom
presents are to be given, include as far
as your opportunities, near relatives,
close friends and intimates, but avoid
as much as possible any conventional
and all merceHary giving. Further
than this, in the true and loving spirit,
let at least some few gifts go 70 those
who cannot recompense again" and Il

THE STATE OF LINCOLN.

WELLINGTON, Kan. Jan. 19, 1898.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
Meeting Mr.. John Hirons of this city
on the street the other day he said: Il
have long had a conviction that one
state in this Union ought to bear the
name of our first martyred president"
Is not this an important and patriotic
suggestion? The name of Abraham Lin
coin has an abiding place in the heart of
every true American. Would it not be
a fit recognition of that great man to
give his name to state that lies near
the geographical heart of this nation?
Would not Lincoln he better name for
the grand new state that is to be than
OklahS ma? Think on these things"

But for this their mass meeting
would not have been held; but
for this no request to land troops
would have been made. Had
the troops not been landed no
measures for the organization of
new government would have
been taken.
The American Minister and
the revolutionary leaders had
determined on a new addition to
the United States and had agreed
on the part of each to act to the
very end.
Amazing and shameful as was
the annexation conspiracy car
ried out at Honolulu, it was
hardly more so than the attempt
made In this country to consum.
mate it. While the lingo organs
were calling Historically for an
nexation the Administration at
Washington was waiting eagerly
for the commissioners hurrying
from Honolulu to negotiate the
transfer of the islands. No
sooner had they reached the
capital than treaty was hastily
drawn up and rushed into the
Senate before the expected pro-
test from the dethroned Queen
could arrive. If this end of the
conspiracy had been as thorough
ly investigated and uncovered as
the Hawaiian end has been the
revelations could be hardly less
startling.
But enough has been revealed
to bury annexation beyond the
hope of resurrection and put an
end to all talk of a protectorate.
