To attain to the great age of four
core years and ten is rare; to reach that
age vigorous in mind and body is
vouohsafed to few mortals. The Hon.
William w. Thomas had passed that age,
with eye undimmed and natural
force almost undated. His stalwart
form and majestic presence showed few
signs of the deorepi tude that comes with
declining years. His mind was active
and acutr and to the very moment of
his death he took lively in
terest in the things of this world.
His taking off la like tho sudden
removal of giant oak, which for
scores of years has boon familiar land
mark. Fof three-quarters of a century he
had been a conspicuous figure in his ma
tive city. For great part of that time
he was leader in the business, political
and religious lie of the town, and he
always led in the right direction.
Strength and ruggedness were the con-
spicuous features of his character. His
principles were firmly fixed, and com.
promise with, or Indulgence to, whas
he believed to be wrong was abhorrent
TO his nature. OF course to such a man
ostentation was intolerabls. He lived
simply throughout his whole life. Great
wealth never tempted him into garish
or vulgar display. The aim of his life
was to be useful. TO be helpful, to set
an example of correct living. to leave the
worlf better for his having been in it.
10 him were given great opportunities
and great talents, and he used them in
such way as to win the veneration
Of his contemporaries and to leave be-
hind him memory that shall ever be
an inspiration to noble living.

"Ibo Old, Old Story, etc. etc. This
popular author has a happy way of tell
ing story, without haste and full of
attractive details which is very delight

ty and interest. Life at Highlands is
very fresh and charming. The opening
love scenes change materially as events

In his speech in New York in October
Gov. Altgeld Of Illinois alleged that
the plank of the Rspu blIcan platform
of 1860 which denounced the lawless
invasion by armed forces of the soil
of any state or territory as among the
greatest errors, was aimed at the use
of Fedreal troops for enforcing the fugi-
tive slave law. In letter to the New
York Evening Post the Hon. John A.
Kasson. Hon. Edward 4. Pierce and
the Hon. George s. Boutwell, all de-
clare that this is an altog ether erroneous
Interpretation of the plank. Mr..
x sson In his lettersssays:
Not a single fact exists to justify his
application of the fourth resolution of
the Republican platform Of 1860 to the
uSe of federal troops in support of the
fugitiye-slave. The first declaration OF
that resolution was expressly Designed to
plant the now party on the old doctrine
of both Wings and Democrats, of non
interference in the purely domestic
deDunoiatory declaration WAS aimed
at 1.-THE lawless invasion by an armed
force OF The soil of any state or terri
tory" This clause was suggested On the
one hand By Browns armed raid into
Virginia, and on the other by the in
vasion of armed Missourians into
Kansas TO suppress free institu tons
there.
The attempt to apply this resolution as
protest against the right of the ma
tional government to march its troops
for lawfnl national purposes anywhere
within the states of the Union, is
double wrong. 1t denies the truth of
history and it ISLANDERS the Republican
party by implying their assent to the
extremist Southern claim of states
rights. against which, a few months
after, the party was organizing great
armies.
Speaking thus positively, / ought to
add that ! served on both the general
committee and the subcommittee on

"Not long ago." says a Phila-
delphia clergyman. 81 made an
earnest appeal during a Sunday
morning service for contributions
to support a certain branch of the
church work. The ushers distri-
buted blank subscription cards,
which were to be filled out with
promises to pay specified sums
within a year, and returned. One
of our leading members filled out
his card for IS, but by the time
the ushers collected the blanks he
had changed his mind and deci-
ded not to give anything. He
held the paper in his hand until
the church service was over, and
upon leaving the church, tore it
up into pieces and threw it in the
street. Providence had an eye OH
the man, and so did a policeman
who stood on the corner. The lat
ter arrested the erring brother for
throwing the paper in the street.

ABOUT IMMIGRATION

The report of the commissioner
of immigration for the last fiscal
year furnishes some interesting in
formation.
According to the report 343,267
immigrants arrived during the
year and of the number $40, 45S
were landed, 2709 being debarred
and deported. Of the number de-
barred 776 were found to be un-
der contract for labor and the ba-
lance belonged to other prohibited
classes.
Compared with previous years
the total number Of immigrants
fell off 81, S1S, or 81 per cent, this
falling off, the Picayune attributes
to the industrial depression and to
the stricter enforcement of the ex-
clusion laws.
Of the total number of those
landed over fourteen years of age
5O66 could not write and 1880
could neither read nor write. Of
those Who could neither read nor
write 31.374 came from Italy, H.
SIG from Russia proper, 12,l54
from Hungary, 61O7 from Bohe-
mia and Moravia, 528l from other
parts of Austria Hungary, 2473

Last Sunday five Baptiste CO.
lored preachers were arrested and
placed in the guard house. There
are two factions in one OF the Bap-
fist churches, and every Sunday
there is trouble between the fac
tons. They have been before the
justices court several times, and
last Sunday the police had to in
terfere. Unless the factions can
come to some understanding, the
Mayor will be compelled to order
the church closed.
The police jury have fixed the
parish licenses at the same rate
as the state. Peddlers with one
horse will have to pay $50 license,
$40 to the state, and $40 to the
parish; with two horse the license
will be S75 for the state and S7j
for the parish, making a license
of $50. This high license will
probably kill the peddling bust
ness, but it might induce the
opening of country stores, which
will perhaps be as injurious to the
towns as the peddling carts, and
may be more.
