To Help out Weak Drivers.

A veteran horseman, whose observations
Of driving about the city cover nearly half
a century, has undertaken to relieve the
distress which the sight Of bit pulling
horse causes him by an invention that he
means TO share with his suffering drivers
free of royalty charges. So far as he
knows, all devices intended to prevent a
willful horse from taking the bits in its
teeth are means of torture, cutting the
horses mouth or otherwise causing pain,
This is needless, he thinks, as we'll as cruel,
and no one who enjoys driving and loves
horses can approve of any such punish
ment. His device is quite as effective, he
thinks, and not at all painful BY its use,
when horse begins its capers, the device
is so connected with the bit that it pulls at
the horses tail, which receives the strain
now imposed on the driver. Asthe pulling
becomes harder the horse simply tugs at
the roots of its own tail. The inventor has
tried the apparatus and says he has never
driven horse that was not at once broken
of the pulling habit by it.-New York

learns with shame and repeats in a whisper.
It refers, in fact, to the venerable house of

greatly adds to what the peerage calls the
enjoyment Of title. 1t is a secret Of the
vestiarium, or robing room. 1t is nothing
less than the long and carefully concealed
truth about the coronet. You know that it
Is a crimson velvet cap very soft and pretty
and comfortable, round which is the gold
coronet set with pearls Now, a coronet is
just broad circular band, as everybody
knows
The iron crown Of Lombardy is such 4
band Of gold set with great rubies roughly
cut, and without any palliative Of velvet.
With the bare crown stuck firmly on his
head there he was--a king, just as with his
wig adjusted on his head there is the other
mana lord chief justice. Very well, then.
The peers coronet is not Of gold at all. i
am assured, by one who knows, that it is
Of copper gilt, and that the pearls In it are
not pearls, but silver things as big as
pigeons eggs. One more illusion is gone.
We shall learn next that the velvet is cot

secret lies in the fact Of too much or
ganization of system which on almost
every occasion, under rules Of the order
and commands of the chief, bring so
many persons into every strike who
have no cause whatever Of complaint,
and are therefore in the wrong, as to
obscure the real grievances of the few,
and thus array the moral sentiment Of
the country against the whole body Of
strikers. There are many instances in
which success would have been assured
if only those who were injured had un-
dertaken to right the wrong, but which
have been defeated by the unwarranted
participation Of those who had no
cause Of complaint. A strict enforce
ment of the law as announced by the
federal courts will relieve the labor or
CARNATIONS from much of the unwis-
dom heretofore practiced by them, and
will be greatly to the benefit Of the
country at large.

There was a little dancing affair at a

A BRIDAL MEASURE.

Gifts they sent her manifold.
Diamonds and pearls and gold.
One there was among the throng
Had not Midas touch at need,
He against a sylvan reed
Set his lips and breathed song:
Bid bright Flora, as she comes,
Snatch a spray Of orange blooms
For maiden's hair.
Let the hours their aprons fill
With mignonette and daffodii
And all that's fair.
For her bosom fetch the rose
That is rarest;
Not that either these or those
Could by any happening be
Ornaments to such as she;
They'll but show, when she is dressed,
She is fairer than the fairest,
And out betters what is best!

The people of the Golden State are
beginning to realize that Washington
is one of the coming states of the new
Northwest, the illustrated Californian
of recent date having the following ed
itorial compliment " A glance at the
map of the state of Washington shows
remarkable typographical features,
which will prove a strong factor in the
future development of the state. Run
ming north and south are the Cascade
mountains dividing the state into East
ern Washington, comprising about 5O,-
600 square miles, and Western WASH
linton with about 10000 square miles.
The typographical feature of Western
Washington is the great inland sea,
Puget Sound, with its hundreds Of safe
harbors; with waters so deep that an
ocean vessel can, In places, sail up to
the shores and make fast to the fir trees
that grow to the waters edge. With a
navigable length of over 100 miles, and
an average width of over ten miles,
surrounded on all sides by low hills
thickly wooded with fir and cedar, it
presents at once ready means of COM
munication between the cities that dot
its shores, and one of the most beauti-
ful stretches of scenery in the world.
That the resources of Was hington are
varied and valuable is undoubted and
that its future will be brilliant there
can be no question. What is needed is
q development of these natural re-
sources, and when that is accomplished
the future progress of the state will be
more phenomenal than that of the
past"

The Whipping In Process.

The people of St. Landry are greatly
incensed at the Governor because he
remov ed two of the ablest members of
the Police Jury of that parish because
it finally leaked out that they had voted
for 1'annehill and Weaver. We are
informed that the white people of that
parish voted directly for their police
jnrors and that those receiving the
highest number of voted were recon-
mended by the Senator and Representa-
tives of that parish for appointment
Messrs. Eraste Dnpr6, of the Ist ward.
and Adelma Guidry, of the End ward,
were two of this number, and their re-
moval by the Governor has caused
some very emphatic expressions by the
industrial classes of that parish, to
whom Gov. Foster is very much indebt-
ed for the large vote he received there.
From our standpoint it looks very
much like the Governor is not only
guilty of ingratitude to the class of
people who supported him and recon-
mended these gentlemen for police
jnrors, bat he has acted inconsistent by
going back on the very doctrine he and
his fiiends preached to the farmers and
industrial classes before the primaries
Of 1891. 1t was dinned into the ears of
these people from early morn to dewy
eve that they could participate in the
primary election and vote for Foster.
but that this participation did not obi
! gate them to vote for the ticket nomin-
ated if they did not like it. This teach
ing was a monstrosity in its character,
and did more than any ything else could
have done to demoralize and disinteg-
rate the democratic organization. And
it is not any wonder that hundreds OF
good men who had always stood true
to the democratic principles should be-
come disgnsted and decline to vote for
the propagators Of such monstrous
iaea-that honorable men could partici
pate in party primary and be absolv-
ed from it's binding obligation if the
men they voted for should be heated
by the popular vote-should desire to
steer clear of party led by men hold
ing party fealty at such low value,
aud seek an alliance more congenial to
their ideas on such matters ?-B. r.

The organization of the United Con-
federate Veterans was designed to keep
alive in the breasts of those who wore
the gray, the sweet aud hallOwed mem
cries of the past; to aid the widows
and orphans of the dead; to care for
in the hour of need, the SCARED, maim-
ed and decreplt of our now fast thin
ming ranks; to promote and cultivate
the moral and social virtues of the liv-
ing; TO bind together with bands strong
er than steel the ties of those who stood
shoulder to shoulder in the days of
heoric deeds: to paint in it's true light
the history ofthe late war; to give alike
to both sides, the blue and the gray,
the just need of praise and honor, and
each succeeding year to clothe the
graves of the gray with the "willow
and tears" the blue with the "cypress
and laurel" And in order to carry out
this laudable and honorable undertak-
ing it is necessary and desirable that
every Confederate soldier now living
within the State of Louisiana shoul d
enroll and attach himself to some en-
campment already formed, or exert
himself to form new encampments, and
report to the adjutant general of the
Louisiana division at New Orleans.

appeal to you, their living comrades,

The question of low railroad rates
to the Worlds Fair is undoubtedly the
most important one at this time, and we
hope the railroads will give it the at
tention it deserves without any fur
ther delay. On this subject, the N. O.
Times Democrat had the following
very apropos article, in it's issue of last
Saturday:
1t is obvious that, if the railroads
running from New Orleans and South
ern points to Chicago do not soon re-
duce materially the rates of travel to
the Fair, there will be very few visitors
from this part of the world to the Ex-
position.
In previous years excursion rates to
Chicago and return have been $50 and
$33 The rate fixed for the Fair is
$50. 1t should be reduced to $25, or
even $40, for a months trip and, 80
reduced, it is probable that it will in
duee thousands of people to take 10 the
grandest show that the world has seen,
who if the fares remain at, or in the
vicinity of, the figure at which they are
now pitched, will have to deny them
selves the pleasure of assisting at -
this uneqnaled exhibition of the works
of modern progress
A $25 or $50 round "trip fare to the
Exposition from New Orleans would
bring far more in the Golfers of the
railroad companies than would fare
SO per cent larger. There would pro-
baby be half-dozen of people who
would possess themselves of tickets
costing $50 apiece where only one
would buy a ticket costing $36. 1t is
not the few rich, and comparatively
few well-to do people, able and willing
to pay high railroad fares, who put
money into the railroad exchequer !; it
is the multitude, taking advantage of
the utmost reduction in rates. who
swell the corporations revnues.
The reduction should be made, and
made at>once. Ii it be not made forth
with, now that the Exposition is two
months old and that it is in the heyday
of it's glory. there will be loss both to
would be Exposition visitors and to the
roads. For citizene who would visit
Chicago during the summer on reason
ably reduced fare will make up their
minds that there is TO be no reduction,
and will otherwise fix their travel ar
fragments. And the railroads will be
precicely that amount out of pocket
The roads should give it their imme,
diate attention. The public in this
part of the world are waiting for an
announcement of the subject.
