Some Views Regarding Senator N.
G.. Blanchard.

Some admirer of Hon. N. c..
Blanchard, writing to the Vicks-
'burg COMMERCIAL Herald, says of
this distinguished son ofNorth Louis
lana:
Dear Sir:-Knowing your friend
ship for Hon. n. G. Blanchard, our
junior United States Senator, whose
term of Office will expire in a short
time, and knowing full well you ap-
preciate his value as a friend of the
people, who are at the mercy of the
waters of the Mississippi river, l
am constrained to say our alluvial
inhabitants and yours as well need
his services as much or more in the
upper house than they did for the
twelve years he was chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee of the
lower house. The steamboat inter-
est of the Mississippi river should
take decided steps to show their ap-
probation of the efforts of this cham
pion of their interests, and it is
needless to recount to them how
vallantly he has worked for the in
crease of appropriations for levee
and harbor improvements, for there
is not a river man who is not perfect
ly familiar with his record.
1t might be claimed that news
paper outside of the state has no
concern with the election of senator's
and representatives from Louisiana.
This Is not the case in this instance,
as our material interests are linked
together SO close that we pardon
each other when either chooses to
lend words of praise or condemna-
tion,. as the case may be, as our in
terest appears.
Mr.. Blanchard has been too true
to every trust reposed in him not to
receive at your hands and those of
every paper and citizen in the great
Mississippi valley, the praise to
which he is so Justly entitled. The
appropriations for levee work and
the victories he has gained while
battling for the lives and property
of the inhabitants of the valley call
for paeans Of praise to be sung in
his honor in our great state and out
of it. Yours truly,
LOUISIANIAN.
Disclaimlng all spirit OF interfer-
ence in the political affairs OF Louis
lana, the Commercial Herald desires
to express hearty concurrence in the
communication signed Louisianian,
published to-day. 1t will be an
evil day for the jewellers of the Delta,
when they permit any ism or issue
to rise superior to or dwarf their i'm
portant and always vital interest in
the question of river improvement
and overflow protection. And for
this interest Mr.. Blanchard stands
pre-eminently.- Vlcksburg CONNER
cial- Herald.
Senator n c. Blanchard, of Louis
lana, is one of the true friends of
the project to improve the naviga-
tion of the Ouachlta river, and we
earnestly hope that the Legislature
of the Pelican State will see proper
to return this distinguished gentle
man to the Senate of the United
States. During all his long career
in public life, the senator has ever
proven himself to be friend of the
peoples interests. He is brilliant
man and an ideal statesman.-|

IN THE FAR WEST.
How Freighteru Kept the whisky's Weight
and Quality unimpaiTed.

A man at one Of the hotels the other
night told an interesting story of how
the freighters OF the far west used to
supply themselves with whisky, say IS
the Louisville Courier-Journal. lie
said that some years ago when all
freight was hauled in wagons, lac hap.
pened 20 make n trip OF several hun
bred miles with train OF wagons car
rying merchandise 90 remote stations.
Nearly every wagon contained one or
more barrels OF whisky.
"The first night ont | noticed said
he, great activity around the whisky
barrels The wagons each had a
Ratchet and gimlet They would
knock up hoops bore hole, draw all
the whisky they wanted, then put
about as much fine gravel in the barre
as they had drawn out whisky, drive q
plug in the hole and pu, the hoop bach
in place.
81 learned afterYard that the bar
rels were weighed and the whifhl
tested before IT was turned over 10 th'
freighters, and that when IL arrived %
it's destination "a was again weighci

with This Lack.
Japan is a land without the domes-
tic animals. IL is this lack which
strikes the stranger so forcihly in look
ing upon japanese landscapes. There
are no cows--the japanese neither
drink milk nor eat meat. There are
but few horses, and these are import
ed mainly for the use of the foreign
crs. The fruit cars in the city streets
are pulled and pushed by coolies, and
the pleasure carriages are drawn 10y
inen. There are but few dogs, and
these are neither used for watch dogs,
beasts OF burden nor in hunting, except
by foreigners.
There are no sheep in Japan, and wool
is not used in clothing, silk and cotton
being the staples. There are no pigs
FORK is an unknown article of diet, and
lard is not used in cooking. There are
no goats or mules or donkeys. Wild
animals there are however, and, in par
ticular, bears OF enormous size. One
of these, seen stuffed in museum, is
described as big as an on" Beside an
other stuffed museum bear In pre-
served in alcohol the manglcd body Of
child the bear had eaten just before
being killed.
War, of course, IL ncquainting the
japanese with the use of animals. The
army has cavalry horses and others 20
drag the field guns. The empress, also,
in obvious imitation of European roy
alties, Is an expert horsewoman, and
saddle horses are kept for her use.
