Frank P. Stubs, the little tin god
on wheels, whose swayin the by-gone
days used to extend up and down
the Ouachita, made q special trip to
Washington to defeat the nomination
of Mr.. Charles Trousdale as post
master of Monroe; he brought out
all his eloquence before the commit
tee, and attempted to show in his
plausible manner what dreadful mis-.
take it would be to appoint for the
Parlor City a postmaster, whose
Democracy was more or less sus-
pect. He spoke well and long and
earnestly, but he counted without
our worthy Representative C. J.
Boatner, who, in a few words soon
proved to the committee that Mr..
Trousdale was simon-pure Dem
ocrat. The committee recommended
the nomination Of Mr.. TrousdaIe and
he will soon be postmaster Of Nom

does Thackeray speak directly oil
religion, and yet, his every page IL
sermon. The text is always the
same, ssBe each, pray God, gen.
tleman," and a vast intellect and
force of character make the text
impressive. Indeed, / have often
read one of Talmage's sermons, and
afterwards a few chapters from
Thackeray, and it seems to me that
undoubtedly the great English auth
OF rs the better preacher of the two.
He is less theatrical, and more sin
cere in manner. OF course, this is
his charm. l. is the noble sim
plicity of his writings that lend
them their power.
But, not only does Thackeray
deal with the lighter faults of hui
man nature. Every now and then
he teaches a grave lesson about law
lessness and depravlty. And with
stern strokes does he draw these
morals. Indeed. his blackguards
are entirely odious, because they are
mean as well as vicious He has no
Newgate heres nor criminal divin-
tiles.
He shows us that all men are
erring, and most of them capable of
repentance; but man that begins
his career by toadying to his high
born school fellows, and robbing
them of their money, and who pur-
sues the same course through college
and through life, is apt, very apt, to
die little contemplate, dark
hearted villain in the end!
Nature develops slowly, by law,
and notify spasms, and Thackeray's
characters are products of Nature
rather than art, hence, they obey
her principles.
But now, jamie, the lamp has
burned so low, and the light is SO
dali, that / needs must stop writing.
Do you know / bate to take leave
of this subject? So much that ]
wanted to say has been left unsaid,
so many characters that / really
love, have gone unmentloned that
the paper seems to me abrupt and
unsatisfactory. You see, wanted
to speak of Henry Es,nond, and OF
Colonel Newcome and of George
Warrington, but feel it is too late,
that l will have TO pass them by
without even sentence acknowl.
edging the true, deep pleasure they
have given me, and this seems I'M
grateful. But, the reason of it is.
| like Thaceray so much that ]
couldn't steal a minute from him,
to give to any of his heroes.
For me, the real man is dearer
than the fictitious men; the creator
is greater than his creatures.
And now good night, and good
bye to them all.

young. The night will fall, the

The Scientific American says that
according to census lately made
by the Board of Health of New York
City, there are 39,138 buildings
known as tenement houses, in some
Of which the people are packed like
sardines; but the average is only
"a persons to a house, the total
tenement house population being
1,332,773. Many of the so-called
tenement houses are vast establish
mcnts constructed and conducted on
the best sanitary principles. Still,
the majority of these buildings, those
that are occupied by the poorer
classes, are wretched and unsavory.
The only wonder is that pestilence
does not rage among them at all
times. Almost every steamer from
Europe brings new lot of low
minded, dirty creatures, representa-
tives Of the yilest foreign classes,
whose filthy habits the health authori-
Ties find it difficult to overcome or
combat. 81.

Death with all its horrors does not
brighten the anarchists; some even
glory in that kind of notoriety. The
Gar of Russia is the only one who
seems to understand how to deal with
them; without trial, without publIci-
ty, he sends them into eternal obliv-
ion to taste the mysteries of Siberia.
That alone frightens them. All the
governments of Europe had better
make arrangements with the Gear
and turn over to him all the anarch-
lists found on the territory. They
soon would get rid of them.

WHOSE FAULT WAS IT?

Now that the Legislature has ad-
journed and its acts have passed into
history, the public naturally look
back over the sixty days session of
that body and sums up the good and
the bad-laying some things against,
and some to the credit of the solons.
Such is what the BanDer-Democrat
has been doing lately. Such is what
is being asked generally-what has
the Legislature done?
While we are prepared to admit
that some very saiutary laws were
passed by the late Legislature, yet it
is with modification that we have to
speak of an instance of glarlng negli-
genee, such as has rarely been
noticed in this State before. We
speak of the failure of the Legisla-
ture to pass good election law, as
the people demanded of them.
Ballot Reform was the watchword
OF the people prior to the assembly of
the Legislature, and during its session
the cry was increased. We were treat
cd to the spectacle of our Governor
proclaiming himself far and wide as
the champion of ballot reform. He
would see to it that the people would
receive what they demanded; but
have they? Where is the boosted
election law that Murphy was going
toglve us? Echo answers, "where?"
Now it is conceded by everybody
both Foster and McEnery people
that the Governor had the Legisla-
ture completely under his control.
This seems to be an acknowledged
fact. We have heard very few dis
pute it, except a few proselytes,
whose opinions change with the
political weather vane, and who do
not amount to row of pins.
This being the case, it is readily
seen that no one but the Governor
alone is to blame. When the
General Assembly, with Mr.. Fosters
assistance, could elect two United
hn CHI
of forty-eight hours, why is it that
they could not frame an election law
to sVit the people in two months
trial? Something's rotten in Den
mark. Mr.. Foster will have this
against him two years from now, in
addition to other pledges he has
broken with unparalleled liberty.
A very bad state of affairs. Between
Foster, Fitzpatrick and the Devil,
Louisiana has a hard time.
But time of reform is near at
hand, we are glad to say, and when
that time comes, the Banner Demo-
crat will take pleasure in noting
that Mr.. Foster will not fill the
gurbernatorial chair.
Let the people remember this
the Governor assured us a good cleo
ton law; we did not get It, Whose
fault is it?
