WANTED A CHANGE.


An old lawyer once told me about
= case he had. but which he didn't
keep.
An old Irish woman sent for him
in great haste one day. She wanted
him to meet her in the Criminal
Court. He fastened to the court
house all out Of breath. The
woman's son was about to be placed
on trial for burglary. When the
lawyer entered the court room the
old woman rushed up to him and in
excited voice said:
"Mr. B-,Oi want ye to git
. continuance for me by jimmie: :"
Every we'll, madam" replied the
LAWYER. II will do 50 il l can.
but it will be necessary to present
to the court some grounds for q
continuance. What shall | sayS'
"Shure, ye can jist tell the court
Oh want q continyuance till Oh can
git ! better lawyer to try the cast"
The lawyer nearly tainted when
he heard this, and after telling the
woman that she would have to get
another lawyer to get the continu-
ance he hurried back to his office .

s'Since l have been in the horse
business. says Mr. |. H Nrockw.y,
OF Boston, Mass, s'there have been
. great many inventions, such rs
electric cars aud bicycles, which one
would think would stop the sale VI
horses, but l lind that my trade has
increased more than 80 per 0ent in
the last three years, and there have
been more horses sold in Boston in
the last year than ever we're sold in
one year before. Why? Because
the horse has been sold more cheaply
and more have been used for pleas
ure, both under the saddle and har-
ness, and Tor heavy draft work.
And, in my opinion. good horses
will be worth twice as much IN two
years rs they are now, because the
farmers in the West. where they are
raised, have got the idea that they
would not he worth raising"

EAST LOUISIANA BUYS THE
SPANISH FORT LINE.

The States is informed upon UNI
questionable authority, that the
Spanish Fort Railroad has been
sold to the East Louisiana Railroad
Company, Of which the President
is Mr. John Poilevent. The prop
erty is . well known one, and
though the States is not able to
say what price the purchasers Of
the road paid for it. it is safe to
say that it will be thousands OF
dollars less than the Northeastern
paid for it when they acquired the
property.
The above Is the reason Of Presi-
dent Harvey's present visit to New
Orleans and it is understood that
the price has been agreed on, the
pspers made out and signed BY the
representatives Of the interests in
volved and that nothing now re-
mains to put the East" Louisiana
| in possession except the formal
ratification OF the deal by the Lon
don directors Of the Northeastern,
which formality is undoubtedly Sc
cured ahead.
When interviewed to-day BY the
States, Superintendent Ferguson
would neither affirm or deny the
report, but the States is able TO
say that its Information is beyond
peradventure. The East Louisi
| ana road will without doubt, so
well informed railroad men say,
utilize their new purchase to make
quicker connections with the several
lake resorts. They will connect
with Spanish Fort with fast and
elegant service Of steamboats, and
reduced time schedules and comfort
in travel. build up an immense sum-
mer travel and q good sized, all
the year.road business.
There is also hope, now that the
favorite resort Spanish Fort has
COTTON into such hands, that this
place will put on itself new life and
once more assert itself as the Queen
of summer resorts fol this CITY,
Daily States.

our prayers, to protect and guide
