Gossiping.

" all mean things in the world wa
think gossiping is the meanest, vet there
Is more OF it done than anything else.
we were reading somewhere the other
day and came across sumcthinR about
telling about everything you kHw. It
was this. "lf a fool knows ANYTHING he
tells 1t, because he is il fool. Ii il knave
knows anything he tells it whenever it
is his duty to tell it." But men and We
men are very apt to tell Whatever they
know, from the vanity of having been
trusted. AS We knog that all the gos-
sips In the world are not knaves and
tools, 1t must be because they are proud
OF having been honored with being
trusted with a secret, for you know they
are all secrets, and, Of course, nobody
ever tells a secret. Some people say
that men do not gossip at all. Well, it
is true they do not gossip so much as
women, yet they do all the same.
Whenever they hear anything or see
anything that happens, they go home
and tell their wives about it. They
know that no woman can keep Il secret,
at least they think so, and they know
too that if they tell their wives about
anything that happens, she will 60 over
and tell her neighbor, and that one will
tell hers, and so on until it is all over
the town. All of this started from a
mans first telling his wife, so, there
fore, he is indirectly a gossiper.

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never u time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was SO great as now. The c0nven-
fences of mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and in
official life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenances and implements of each in
order to save labor, time and expense. The
political change in the administration OF gov
eminent does not affect the progress of the
American inventor, who being on the alert,
and ready to perceive the existing deticlen-
cies, does not permit the affairs of govern
ment to deter him from quickly conceiving
the remedy to overcome existing discrcpan-
cies. Too great care cannot be exercised In
choosing a competent and skillful attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application Tor
patent. Valuable interests have been lost

especially is this advice applicable to those
who adopt the mo patent, no pay" system.

An Object Lesson in Politeness.

Politeness, once acquired, is one of
the %pleasantest accomplishments in the
world, and graces it's possessor. Here
is tho story of an object lesson in the
art OF politeness which occurred lately f.:
An old truckman was bending under
the weight of a big roll Of carpet. His
bale hook fell from his hand and bound
ed into the gutter out of reach. Twen-
ty idle clerks and statesmen saw the old
mans pIedicament, and smiled at the
look of bewilderment. No one ventur-
ed to help him. A young woman came
along, took in the situation at a glance,
and without looking to the right or left,
stepped into the gutter, picked up the
hook in her dainty gloved fingers and
handed it to the mar with a smile. The
idlers looked at each other and at the
fair young woman. God bless ye,
MISS the old man said as the maiden
turned her back on the idlers and went
Oh her way. What an example of true
politeness Exchange.

Pledge Them to the Platform.
Bastrop Appeal.

Bastrop Appeal.
inc Louisiana Legislature will be
asked to elect two, possibly three, u. S.
senators at the approaching session.
"A successor to Caffery, who was placed
IN zen. Gibson's seat by the Governor.
u oe elected to serve the unexpirei
term OF Gibson. Then a Senator to
succeed that Senator must be elected.
VI course the Legislature can, and
prooably will elect the same man to
Doth terms-Gibson's unexpired term
following that. Judge Whites success
or must be elected. Mr.. Blanchard now
serves IN Whites place until the Legis-
lature meets. The term for which
Mhlte was elected ends on the 4th of
March, 1897.
1t is very important that the Legisla.
lure elect good Democrats to fill these
positlons. Recently the Mississippi
Legislature set an admirable example
oy forcing candidates to pledge them

lleve tie majority of the Louisiana

sent this State in Congress respect the

MT. Blanchard, in his e~lectioneering
telegram, announced his readiness to
desert the platform. 1t might then be
tEe part OF good sense and also good
politics to turn both of these exceeding
y wise and slippery men out to grass.
Ii certainly would be we'll to bind them
Oh honor 70 stay in the party when vot-
Ing On measures and questions which
are essentially party questions.
The Appeal feels a lively interest in
the election Of n of the Senators. for
the reason that we believe it is now con
coded that this part of the State is en-
titled to one Senator. We believe Mr.. C.
j.: Boatner, who is a candidate for the
White succession, will not hesitate to
mount the Chicago platform with both
feet and pledge himself to stand
upon it through good as well as evil re-
port until every promise made therein
is redeemed with perfect fidelity. AS
our choice for that position we appeal
to the Legislature to subject Mr.. Boat
ner to that test. His record, in every
vote cast by him since lie has been in
the House, affords ample evidence how
he stands-but it is in order to clinch
him with a solemn, specific promise.
Let Blanchard and Caffery and Jonas
and Fenner and every other aspirant
for Senatorial honors be forced to get
on or off the platform. Let the Legis-
lature exact such pledges from candi-
dates as will satisfy the people abso-
lutely and unquestionably how our Sen
ators at Washington will vote on great
measures that separate the Republicans
from the Democrats. Without such
pledges it seems impossible for people
to secure that legislation which the
Democratic party promised them.

Outspoken Comments of a Straight
Party Paper. .
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The question as to who should have
the offices is as simple as the alphabet.
They belong naturally and r%ightfully
to the party that iso in control of the
government. A denial of that right is
subversive of the sound principles of
our system. Those democrats who have
been appointed to Office have succeeded.
The changes have made no inconve-
nience and have not injured the public
service.
There are a-great many laws Of ma
ture which Mr.. Cleveland is obliged to
obey. Why can he not recognize a nat
ural law of politics and government?
His present position is abnormal. He
cannot establish the policy of a non-par-
tisaD distribution of the offices. He
might it he had to deal only with the
part in the elections but the political
consideration is present in all the at
fairs of the general government. Now
that the republicans have overlapped a
year on MIR. Cleveland's term, can't we
have a return to sound and logical. prac-
tices3 The people can't be fed long or
the far-fetched philosophy of o par
tisan administration of the government
of the United States. Every man who
is mentally and morally fit for the pub
lie service is a partisan on national and
state questions.
Those who claim that the democratic
party can be brought up enthusiastically
to the support of the leaders who are
constantly favoring republicans are
fanciful theorists. In this matter OF the
Offices and other places under the fed
eral government, neither the democratic
nor republican party is on an ethereal
plane. All parties and all people are on
earth. Not even the mugwumps are+x-
ceptiobs. They preach a heavenly state
Of unselfishness as to the Offices, and
then get soul if they are not appointed
to good places themselves.

An Ancient People.

The ArmenlaDs are one of the oldest
races in the world. Their country is
mentioned by Xenophnn Ezekiel and in
cuneiform the Inscriptions of Babylon
andAssyria. All the nations that sur
rounded them have passed away, but
they remain, though, their country has
been harried with fire and sword for cen
turtles. The permanence Of the Armen-
iau race has hr+,. a>cribed to the virtue
Of their women aud the exceptional
purity and stability OF th+i, family life.
