North Louisiana for blanchard.
The elevation Of Senator White to the
Supreme Bench of the U. s. leaves the
appointment of his successorin Gov. Fos-
ter's hands. Here is Gov. Fosters oppor-
tunity to give deserved recognition to the
North Louisiana Democracy, and heal a
breach that has been constantly widening
on account of slight and neglect for q
whole generation. Blanchard is the man
for the place. Without in tie least dis
paraging the many good men who are

SALT WATER IN CEMENT.
-.b / ua35y3
ThSo Salphates Of the Sea Are Very De.
~ structive, Says DIR. MichaeIis. h,

The Salphates OF the Sea Are Very De-
~ structive. Says DIR. Michaelis. III.
In the opinion of Dr. Michaelis of Ber-.
lin the greatest enemies to the permanent
cy OF the portland cement used in marine
STRUCTURES are the sulphates contained in
sea water. If there is any great quantity
of alumina and ferric oxide in the cement,
the structure breaks upsooner than other
wise. This is accounted for by the fact
that the sulphate forms, with the alumni
nate and ferrate of lime, a number of crys-t
talline compounds, such as basic sulphate,
of lime, alumino sulphate and ferro sui
phate of lime. These compounds take up
a large quantity of water of disqualification,
SO that the total volume is much increased;
hence the weakness and disintegration of
the cement structure.
DIR. Michaelis considers that the separa-
ton of hydrate of magnesia is quite innoc-
uous, for it is only displaced from it's solu-
ton in the form of flocculent, Shiny n.y.
drate, which, if anything, is useful in
stopping up the pores. His general recon-
mendation to users of concrete for marine
work is to choose a cement rich is silica
and as poor as possible in alumina and
ferrio Oxide and to envelop the structure
with an impermeable mixture composed
of one part Of cement with 2 to 2% parts of
sand of mixed grain, of which at least
onet third should be very fine sand, and to
this the requisite amount of ballast should
be added.

He Had No Work For This Literary AS

Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote as
follows to young and ambitious literary
aspirant who applied to him for position
as private secretarydaidM M vf9df 81
DEAR SIR regret that it is not in my power
to direct you to any plaregof employment such
as you desire. In city ike this the crowding
toward all such employnents is very great, and
there are few situations to be divided among
great number Of applicants. AS for myself,
l am not las am often supposed to be) an edi-
tor and have no writing to do which am not
competent to do myselfwith little occasional
aid from the members of my own family ~
regret not to; be able to give you encopr-

truth III there is next to nothing of the Kind

as rats themselves and no more able to keeps
amanuensis than they are able to set up coach

do not even know how to advise you beyond
this simple counsel, which have occasionally
given to young aspirants: If you think you
have literary talents, write something for the
best paper OF magazine you can get into, keep
to one signature, and you will be found out by
apublic which is ready to give the highest price
for almost every kind of literary ability.
do not "turn from your petition with cold
indifference, !" but it is utterly out Of my power
to do more than give you these few words Of
kindly advice. o. W. HOLMES.

A Little Too Quiet.

Jersey and Guernsey are gardens, says a
recent French visitor to the Channel is
lands. The fields are SO neat, SO carefully
kept, that they seem rather like garden
plots. The least corner of earth is Guilt
vated-the roadsides, every little hollow,
and even ian inch of earth on the end of
rock"
But these Edens are silent, the traveller
goes on to say. Now and then people on
the islands smile, but no one ever laughs
Laughter is unbecoming, and to laugh
aloud would be scandalous.
The birds sing, but not the people
Even the children are sober-little men
and women rather than children. The
trees are yews, expresses and weeping will
lows.
When the people go to walk, they take
to the cemeteries. Lovers exchange vows
upon tombstones, and houses that are
near graveyards rent more readily and at
better prices On that account.
1--WE are admirably situated in our new
house, - said young Jersey woman to
the French writer. 1--WE are right opposite
the cemetery, and can see the tombs
from the windows of my bedroom. In the
moonlight the view is lovely
And still the Frenchman has to admit
that there is something very attractive in
this solemnity and stiffness. The longer
he remained in the islands the less he felt
like coming away.-Youth S Companion.

Burial Among the sihanakas.

Among the Sihanakas there are no reg
ular burying places for the dead bearing
any resemblance to the cemeteries with
which Europeans are familiar, and in the
majority of cases nothing but simple Sc
pulchral mound marks the spot where in
terment has taken place. In few soli-
tary instances have found rude human
figures carved in wood placed upright at
the four corners of tumulus OF oblong
form, but such as have seen are in an
advanced state of decay, and have not
heard OF any of recent date.
The looking glass, the snufbox, the
comb, knife, spear and walking stick and
the necklace which belonged to the de-
ceased, and also bottle of rum, are, as a
rule, buried with the corpse Many will
recognize in this very ancient custom
observed by other nations. In the tombs
OF Assyria, discovered and opened by Mr..
Layard, were found beads, small orna-
nents apparently belonging to necklace,
vases OF green pottery, copper mirrors and
copper spoons, bracelets of silver, a pin for
tne halr, bowls and small alabaster bot
tles.-Sunday Magazine.

Tnx BAGGAGE FlENo.

he Who MsIkes Travel a Terror and Sends
Everything to Smash.
There are two of then-the one who
fits from station to station and dumps
your poor dumb trnnk with force enough
to drive piles in government breakwater,
and the one vino letters around the depot
watching for his chance to shatter your
baggage. The depot haggageman is the
most culcabis OF tho two species. In his
long and darEaMareer OF smashing trunks
he has knocked the hoops off his conscience,
and there is no rsmoyse brave, foolhardy
and reckless enough to tackle his heart
strings and play on them.
The cowboy ropes the Texas steer for
fun, but the baggageman ropes your
trunk for quarter of dollar. No mat
ter though your trunk be shod with half
inch strap iron and armed with solid steel
corselets on the corners and double locked
with burglar proof combination, the sta
ton baggageman wants to rope it all the
same, and usually he terrifes all the pas
sengers into letting him have his own
way. He approaches you with smileq

fragile frame Of the Saratoga meet on
common level, and when they do meet the
splinters fly, and while the owner of the
Saratoga is wringing her lily white hands
and tucking stray bits Of lace, ruf1ing and
birdseye linen into the fractured corners
the drummer is using the most vigorous
and spiritual language he can command,
and great deal Of it, warming up with
the eloquent brilliancy of his discourse.
AS the prayers Of the wicked avail naught,
SO neither do the tears of the belle nor the
curses of the commercial gentleman. The

gers are obliged to go abroad. The wound

And the dear, sweet dude and the starchy

away, and SO will our trunks. The Goths
and Vandals swarmed down upon Rome,
and it fell. Verify, SO do the Goths and
Vandals of the modern railroad prey ON
our baggage, and it is all broken up

General Howard was commissioner of the
Freedmen's Bureau at Washington from
March, 1865 till July, 1874. In that year he
was assigned to the department of the Col
umbia. In 1877 he led the expedition against
the Nezi Perces Indians, and in 1873 led
the campaign against the Bannocks and
Piutes. In 1872 he was superintendent of

DISORDERS PRODUCED.
Bicycling can also produce disorders of
the urinary tract, and of the veins of
the legs' 1t can cause Inflammation of
the knee and hip joints, muscular LESSONS
and appendicitis; women are disposed to
disorders of the genital organs, and
young and growing people to palpita-
lions and deviations of the vertebral
column.
The outcome of discussion before the
Academic de Paris was that medical
examination would be wise before taking
up bclcycle riding, which should be for
hidden to every one showing any tuber-
cular or cardiac disorder. Otherwise,
and with experienced persons, moderate
use OF the bicycle has no bad effects ON
the heart, and it can even be said to be
useful form of exercise for the res
piratory functions.
1t should. nevertheless, always be re-
membered that all forms of training
while learning to ride, going up hill, or
in any other way, are dangerous. Leav-
ing out OF consideration racing, the real
" critical period in bicycling appears to
be the apprenticeship.
In spite of all that has been said and
done, the bicycle is unouestionably a
precious invention, and even if it were a
hundred times more anti-hygienic than
it is, it would still be of daily use, as it
answers desideratum of feverish
life-to attain speed. | am not such an
enthusiast as to believe that bicycling is
indicated in the treatment of the great
est variety of complants, but at the same
time have no desire to accuse it of
too many misdeeds. | think that once
the critical apprenticeship period is
over, moderate amount of bicyc cling
can have no injurious effect on the
health.
