The Story OF Evangeline.

Nearly all Louisiana children
have heard of the beautiful Ba-
you Teche which flows through
the prettiest portion of our State
perhaps some of my young
readers live on its banks and play
under the great spreading oaks
that keep the grass there SO cool
and pleasant. I wish we could
all get together under one OF those
shady trees and 1 could tell you
the sweet story that famous
poet, named Henry Longfellew,
has written, but as we live SO far
apart I shall have to make my
pen speak for me and when you
are older you must read the poem;
you will like it all the better be-
cause it tells SO much about our
own Louisiana.
A great many years ago, before
the American Colonies became in
dependent States, the little viii
lage of Grand-Pre was settled in
far-off Novia Scotia by number
of French people, called Acadians.
They were quiet, Industrious
set, paying little heed to the wars
which were carried on between
the French and English, who
quarreled constantly over their
American possessions. The Aca-
dian settlement was a happy,
peaceful spot, and fairest and
sweetest of it's maidens was Evan
geline, only child of rich farmer
Benedict, the pride of the village,
and as good as she was beautiful.
Great was the rejoicings in Grand
Pre- when it's inhabitants learned
that handsome young Gabriel, the
popular son Of the blacksmith,
was soon to marry dark-eyed
Evangeline. Everyone prayed
for blessings on the young couple

Cleveland I'm His Message to
Congress. s.
Tariff to Be Kept In the Rear Until
Some Definite Action Is
Taken.

NEW York. July 29.-The Herald's
Washington special says: Members OF
congress and statesmen of high and low
degree have ceased the unseemly scram-
BILE for Office, and, preparatory to the
coming struggle. are devoting them
selves to a solution of the problem
which the present financial situation
puts before them.
Well informed administration officials
hold to the belief that in his message to
congress Mr.. Cleveland will confine
himself to the matters to which he re-
ferred SO tersely in his call for the ex-
traordinary session, and that the mes
sage will be devoted almost exclusively
to the financial situation, with
A Possible Reference
to the pledges made in the platform
bearing upon the reform of the tariff.
They say Mr.. Cleveland is too shrewd
politician to confuse the legislative
branch OF the government by present.
ing subjects for its consideration which
can just as well wait a few months, and
thereby lessen the importance of the
duty he deems to be imperative--the
repeal Of the Sherman law.
For this reason it is believed that
finance alone will be dealt with. In.
deed. all the data supplied by the dc.
partments SO far bear upon this subject
only. and Mr.. Cleveland has given the
tariff nothing but casual attention.
After congress has repealed the Sher-
man act, or at least taken some positive
action, then the other

The length of the extra session is EN-
tirely problematic. If the anti-silvel
men have the strength to push the sill

session will probably be short. 1t i
