In looking out into the broad vista
of human society. we see pigs OF every
size and description, from the great
big hog down TO the most dinlinutive,
all roofing alike for themselves.
Pigs are often times so hoggish MS to
root in heterogeneous combination
of aqueous liquid intermingled with
the most minute particles of the tertiary
formation of this mundane sphere and
at last they are overwhelmed in a
mighty mass of mud and water. their
optical organs becoming obscure, they
are compelled .'de necessitate" to go it
blind, which boys often do in the we'll
known game of ''old sledge."
The storms and tempests of life
render it very difficult for little pig
to root his way through this terrestrial
world of ours, but if he is good pluck,
he always leaves bis mark upon the
sands of time. Some hogs think it
best to remain quiescent, trusting to
their long line of ancestors, and to the
illustrious deeds of their forefathers to
support them in their lazy dignities,
but this doctrine will not do, for this

Gently felt in Europe, killed and in

much other serious damage was
done. In Vienna thousands of peo-

The Iberville South says that "the
financial question is playing havoc in
democratic circles. The republicans
are as hopelessly divided on the
question as their opponents, but they
are not waging the same foolish in
ternecine warfare among themselves.
At present it takes a man with a
powerful telescope to imagine that
there is any chance for the democracy
in the next national election.

1.-THE President has rebuked and
retired Admiral Meade from SER
vice for subordination. The Presi-
dent wrote on the back of the
order his regret that an officer
whose career has been so long
and brilliant should tarnish his repu-
tation at its close by unmented criti-
cism of the President and the secre-
tary of the navy" What a shame it
must be TO this man, who had such a
brilliant record.

The Alexandria Democrat SAYS
that "a silver dollar has the same
purchasing power now -notwithstand-
ing the alleged demonstration of
sllver-that gold dollar has. But
there lives neither the prophet, nor
the son OF prophet, who can predict
its purchasing power, should Con-
gress establish the free, independent
and unlimited coinage of silver. In
eur opinion, should such contin-
gency arise, two silver dollars would
not then buy as much as single
gold dollar at the present time.''

The Louisiana Advocate Of Bien

The Louisiana Advocate of Bien-
vile parish, says: "The cotton crop
IN this section beyond a doubt, has
been seriously affected by the recent
cold weather. The farmers have
been afraid to chop 1t out to a stand
Tor the reason that the cold weather
would kill so much of it that stand
would have been destroyed. The
plant is nearly a month late on an
average and the prospects are not
good by any means for 1t to improve
and make any carly crop whatever.
The early cotton has always been
the best heretofore and it is seldom
that late cotton amounts to much. :,
