A e,S RIa,D. Monument.

1t is proposed to set up the big mono
18th quarried at Prentice, Wis, as a
monument to James G. Blaine. 1t is
the biggest stone ever quarried. 1t is
lis feet long, 10 feet square at the base
and feet square at the top, and is 46
feet longer than Cleopatras needle. 1t
cost $12, 200 to cut it out of its bed, and
it would cost S22, 900 to transport it to
the Worlds fair There is some doubt,
however, about its ever getting to Chi
eago, as the expense of transportation
would be so great. Minneapolis Journal.

The Afrectation of skepticism.

Cardinal Gibbons recently expressed
himself in this way, Young men who
have received an imperfect and super
fetal education want to appear wise and
learned and think in order to do so they
must affect degree of skepticism and
infdelity which frequently results in an
entire loss of faith"

MODEL BUILDINGS.

There are several small, but very
unique, buildings in the grounds,
which attract a good deal of notice
and deserve special mention. Near
the Woman's exchange are the
model allopathie and homeopathic
drug stores and physicians offices,
everything so arranged as to be
close at hand and all within very
limited space, very much like the
third, Puck's printing house; to
which | refer. The last mentioned
is of oblong shape, with semi-cir-
cular bay windows at either end.
An immense skylight covers the
part of the building wherein the
presses work. In the bay window
spaces are the business and editO-
rial offices, etc. The type-setting
lithOgraphing and other rooms are
situated on the first and second
floors, along the spaces between the
offices. Galleries extend all the
way around, between the press sec
ton and the various compartments,
from which the visitor views all
the processes of getting out the
paper.

sILVERY SOUNDS.
The Silver convention was very
largely attended. The newspapers
of Chicago are on the, side of the
gold men, hence their partial and
unfair reports. 1t was quite OBJ
vious from the tenor of the ac-
lions and utterances of the leading
lights, that those Democrats who
are in favor of the free coinage of
silver will discard the Democratic
party, during, or after, the called
session of Congress. [ had the
pleasure, during the session, of
meeting many of our greatest men,
and also many of the coming men
of our country, men who will be
needed when the crisis shall have
been reached. JAY SEE.

Keep Your Eyes Open.

On Saturday night last, a heavy
set man weighing about 189
pounds, about s feet z or 8 inches
tael, dark Completed, wearing a
slosch hat, pretty we'll dressed and
wesringa q mustache, entered Mr..
w. L. Roche's store on Bank str,
and asked Mr.. Blanchard the
clerk in charge, to change. q ten
dollar bill for him. which he did.
The next morning the bill was
found to be very poor cohterfeit,
being nothing more nor less than
a one dollar bill badly mutilated.
On the face of the bill, q cipher
was scratched by the side of the
one, and the word one under the
figure was erased, and ten marked
thereon, making it read, "tsn dol
lar" On the back of the bill, all
of the zones" were erased and
green ink used to hide the matila-
tiOn. This scoundrel, or a confe-
derate, was in Baton Rouge last
week, up to some of this same
business and as he took his depar-
ture as soon as he succeed in get
ting one bill changed here, we
presume he is now operating in

The Rice Crop.

The news of the rice crop, both
of Louisiana and the Atlantic
coast, is not favorable, and this
has finally made itself felt in the
market and sent up prices, which
have been abnormally and disas-
trously low ever since it was dis
covered that our last crop was ex-
ceesive and more than the country
needed or could consume. This
fact and the low prices and the
large surplus left over have had a
demoralizing effect on the indus
try, resulting in a considerable re-
duction in the acreage planted
this year in the Southern cereal.
As to the present crop in Lopisi-
ana there have been such contra
dictory statements in regard to
the yield as to cause great confu-
sion and uncertainty. The report
from the Weather Bureau of the
Agricultural Department, presen-
tel by US on Sept. l, showed that
the yield in the prairie region
was proving even less than ex-
pected, and the news from there
since has been confrmatory of
this.
From the Atlantic rice country
the accounts of the damage done
by the recent cyclone are start
ling. A gentleman who is descri-
bed as taking "a more cheerful
view" of the matter than the
reports that most of the
losses would be about so per cent,
and but few lower than 40. Even
if this cheerful gentleman" is
right, and the Atlantic coast meets
with no new disasters, it will pro-
duce but half crop.
The last week has put a very
different face on the rice situation.
and it is not to be wondered at
that prices have finally advanced.

One day last week the papers ol
New Orleans had items relating
to the robbery of a woman of all
she possessed on earth in the way
of worldly means. She was a la.
boring woman, a cook, who in
long years of frying, baking, stew.
ing, and roasting, had accumulat.
ed $735,OO. Having no faith in
any sort of banks, she kept the
money hidden in her room, a
sneak thief found it, picked the
carpet combination, and the heart
broken cook looks back over a
dreary waste of years, money gone,
health and strength going old age
and poverty approaching!
We wish the scoundel who rob-
bed her nothing worse than that
it may choke him, and then turn
to the lesson taught by the matter.
This poor woman had no faith in
bank, ber money was safe with no
one; she could be her own banker:
she was not compelled to spend
five cents occasionally in purchs-
sing a newspaper to assure her
that her cash was all right; but
all at once, and without warning,
her little store was swept away
and she was stranded in her old
days on the shores of penury.
We do not claim that banks are ab-
safe but they beat hiding
money in old slippers and teapots
all hollow! A good share of the
present money stringency may be
to the unreasonine
fright of small depositors who
drew their money from the banks
auu nAu ~ away III udEA COTn0r6
thus Withdrawing tens of millions
from circulation; and while we re-
probate the crime in the strongest
terms, still if the thieves will
spend their in-gotten lucre as
swiftly as possible they will be
1oing the world q more material
service in getting it on the cur
'ent of trade, than do the honest
,lockheads who earn it fairly and |
hide it away.

Bayou Plaquemine.

Under the above caption we
have frequently called attention
to the lack of interest manifested
by the people of the State in the
improvement of that important
waterway, and the long delaying
of the consumation so ardently de-
sired by those Of our citizens to
whom the great moment of the
question appears with direct force.
We allude to the establishment of
navigation to and from the Mis-
sissippi river through the bayou
Plaquemine and into the vast net
work of waters forming the basin
of the Atchafalaya and having ac-
cess to the most productive and
fertile portion of Louisiana.
From a gentleman, resident of
Donaldsonville, and a frequent
visitor to Plaquemine we learn
that of the several hundred thou
sands of dollars appropriated by
Congress, about $40, 900 have been
spent in dredging the bayou and
the balance with the exception of
that still on hand, has been used
for the protection Of the banks of
the Mississippi river. We will
not discuss this point. If the en-
gineers cannot legitimately ex-
pend the money appropriated by
Congress for a definite purpose,
toward an improvement not mo
minated in the bond" why we'll
and good. 1t must be all right
What We wish 10 call attention to
is the remarakle inactivity exhi-l
bited by these same engineers in
pushing the needed work.
It looks very much as if the
railroad interests have paralyzed
the energies of these officials and
they desire to delay the opening
Of the bayou as long as possible.
The land has been appropriated,
and it is said payment is now be-
ing made for same. If such ie
the case there is no reason why
the work should not be pressed
and the construction of the locks
be begun. Reasoning by analogy,
it will be ten years before this is |
done however, unless the people
stimulate the work by organizing |
and vehemently cry down the tur-
tie like slowness that has been
characteristic of the work since its |
inception. 4 |
1t is a matter of general interest
and the press of the State should
take up the question, and by con-
slant agitation arouse feeling in
the matter and thus force its COM
pletion. -Prohibitionist.

TUE NICARAGUAN WAR.
ReYoIntiOnists Are in Complete Posses
sion Of the Government.
The Last Battle Resulted in Govern
mcnt Loss of 155 Men and
26T Wounded.

GRANADA. Nicaragua, May 2i.-Addi-
tional details of the decisive battle of
Barranca Pass near Masaya, show that
it was even more disastrous than at first
believed. To be reliable the data shows
the government losses at 155 killed and
267 wounded. Carrying away the
wounded with them Sacaza troops were
finally forced to leave the field. When
the fight had ended they filled the cars
with wounded soldiers and got them back
to Managua. None OF the revolutionists
were injured.
Thirteen hundred government troops
attempted to fight their way out to the
position held by the insurgents, but
were unsuccessful and were forced to re-
tire. 1t was supposed this would end the
fighting for the day. but two hours later
the demorallZed government forces had
been reformed and ordered again to at
tack. Scores of men fell on the battle field
and the assaulting columns were forced to
retreat and General Carrancas' reyolu
tionary AMY is in complete possession of
the Fisna road. The fleeing army were
holly pursued and some of them cap
tured. although the reyolutionists lost
only twelve killed and eight wounded,
nearly all of them officers, and two of the
government generals were killed.
The presence of a United States warship
n Nicaragua waters is needed for the pro-
lection of American interests. The gov
eminent issued q decree some days ago
prohibiting steamers of the Pacific
mail and Cosmos lines from land
ing at San Juan Del Sur.
It is believed they viii be boarded by gov
eminent officers at Corento and all mer-
chandise consigned to persons who SYM
pathize with revolutionists will be con-
- -.
ordering vessels TO land only at Corento,
the need OF warship can be readily seen.
