! Bread cast upon the waters will re-
turn after many days. and meanness
| practiced upon the public will, like
death, creep iu when it is not wanted.
The old adage that "all is fair ip love.
war and politics. may hold good in
some INSTANCES, but every. once in a
while the ship of state encounters
snag which causes the old craft to
rock and shake like chatf in storm.
The latest shot sent to Baton Rouge
came from the intellectual cannon of
JOHN L. Nlcklltie, the man most active
state government. Mr.. Wicklitfe work
ed night and day for the accomplish
ment of his purpose. He edited the
New Delta without pay aud finally
brought about, III conjunction with 9th
ers, the defeat OF the regularly consti-
tuted democratic ticket placed in the
field by the democratic party of LOuisi-
aua; but like the fellow who was de-
coyed into holding the sack for a hunt
ing party while the remainder went
forth to drive up the game, he is still
waiting for the times that never come.
After the smoke of the political bat
tie cleared away and al! the offices hap
been distributed around it was found
that small crumb was left in the shape
Of commissioned to tie Worlds Fair.
Well, that finally dropped into Wick
lIffe's large pocket. Tie place involved
a lot OF work and furnished very little
pay, but our friend accepted the place
more from patriotic reasons than from
mercenary motives, aud labored iuces-
sanity to give Louisiana proper ex-
hlblt. and 10 some measures failed to
bring it up to the standard Of other
states.
Commissioner Wick life, in ii letter to
the people OF Louisiana explains his
position aud sets forth the many in1ig-
mites which have been placed at his |
feet, which is embodied in his resigna- |
ton to tile governor. He deserved he. !
ter treatment, il political! services war
rant partners hlp Id the spoils of office. |
out like al! others he must sooner or |
later accept the same indiguitics for
himself that lie has hclresl to iuilict |
upon others.
:. MS IS no Iiacas uf ours, and the Vim |
dicator mentions 1t as a matter of news |
III one sense and for tue further purpose |
Oh craving The line between the past |
and the present. Without the services |,
of John G.. Wicklitft, lie present state |
would not have seen the |
dawn OF living day, but since it has en-
erged from the lncubator, operated by |
the most damna5le humbussery that
ever dlsgraccd any state since the days
OF reconstruction, even its own follow
ers cannot hold up against the reyoly-
ing wheels OF time,
This is 70: ali, gentle reader. Every
man who assisted in defeating right
and justice, aud polluted the sacTeduess
OF the ballot for the sake of office, and
stained the honor Of the State of I.ouisi-
ana that they mi ght win, whether they
received the spoils or not. must fall be-
meath the crash, aud pass out of exist
ence like the Innocent flower touched
by the bliShting frost.
Nicklitfe was good man but the
bear got him.

"Lucille." In this house also Ashbur-

that were familiar to their eyes quarter
OF century ago. These articles Of virtu
indeed strikingly recall the remarkable
history of the house. Senator and Mrs.
Brice ransaclled the cellars, closets and gar
rets for them, and their efforts were richly
rewarded. They found many unique and
beautiful antiques, fine old bronze and mar
BILE clocks, portraits, candelabra, table and
mantel ornaments, and also old time cabi-
nets and settles, brocaded hangings and
other pieces of furnishings. Many of these
articles were given to Mr.. Corcoran by dis
tinguished persons.
Among the portraits is one of Daniel
Webster, a former occupant of the house,
with his autograph and date. There is q
cOncave mirror which was once owned by
Thomas Jefferson, two gilt candelabra
which stood in the dressing room of the
Empress Josephine, and an armchair
which was once in tho possession of George
Washington. A room to which all visitors
hasten is the second drawing room, called
the red parlor. 1t was used by Daniel
Webster as sitting room, and marble
bust of that famous orator stands on the
Gabinet.
This historic mansion, which now re-

WIS originally built about seventy-five
years ago, and is therefore one of the Oldest
houses in Washington, for 1t must be re-

The tFbefoll de wah' colored man was
noted for the brilliant whiteness of his
teeth, quality which is not inherited
by his descendants Of the present day.
Nowadays the teeth of the negroes do
not seem to be nearly SO good as those of
bis brother. The reason is to be found
in the change of food. The slaves had
plenty to eat, but the food given them
was of the simplest kind. Pork, meal,
potatoes and such vegetables as they
raised themselves formed their bill of
fare. Now they eat all sorts Of indigest-
ible stuff, outdoing the white people IN
This direction, showing particular fond
ness for candies and sweetmeats. The
consequence is that in a single genera
tion the ivory teeth of the slave have
given place to tie decayed fangs Of the
