The New York World-Thrice-a-week
Edition.

The Twice-a-week Edition Of the New
York World has been converted into
the THRICE-A-WEEK. 1t furnishes three
papers of six pages apiece, or eighteen
pages every week, at the old price Of
ONE DOLLAR a year. This gives 1856 pa
pers a year for One Dollar and every pa
per has 6 pages eight columns wide or 4s
columns in all. The THRICE-A-WEEK
WORLD is not only much larger than
any weekly or semi-weekly newspaper,
but it furnishes the news with much
greater frequency and promptness. In
fact, it combines all the crisp, fresh
qualities of a daily with the attractive
special features of a weekly.
To all who pay $2.75 cash in advance
the. OPELOUsAs COURIER and N. Y.
Thrice-a-Week World will be sent post
paid for one year.

Rough on the Pops.

Our friends, the Populists, are already
beginning their customary talk about
dying for their rights 10 the campaign
over the constitutional convention.
which will soon begin. The average
Louisiana Populist is very much given
to boasting about his Willingness to die
for bis supposed rights until lie is Of
fered an opportunity to play the dying
act. He then barks his shins in a wild

It may be my friend, you are very
good sort of man, judged by the
commercial standard, by the standard
of the club, and even by the standard
of the church. We don't doubt but
that you are pretty good sort of a
man measured by your own standard;
but hope the composiUors will
place long dash after that word but,
for there was great deal of thinking
that came after it. What was I think
ing about? Your wife, perhaps; your
mother, your sister, or any one whose
kindness and courtesy and affection
minister to you, and you don't appre
ciate the ministry. The unapprecia-
tive ones, who love us and serve us; I
am thinking of them. And as I think,
faces come out of the air in front of
me, and stand out to sight as if they
were living faces. There is the face
of a mother-a worn face; face that
is wrinkled as years and labor and
troubles wrinkle a face; eyes that
show growing dimness as they gaze
at me; hands no longer plump; fingers
no longer rounded; hair half gray and
half brown. The face of a woman
who has done work-hard work; done
it faithfully, lovingly, heroically, but
has never been appreciated for doing
it. Another face? Certainly. Whose?
Your wife's. Not old nor young-for
ty, perhaps. The face of a woman
who does everything for love; of a
woman who has been busy all day
long that your house might be home
to you; a woman you left without
kiss this morning, and whom you for
got to greet as you came in at night.
And yet there were your slippers by
your chair, the evening paper on the
table; the table spread for tea-every-
thing clean, orderly, home like. And
you scarcely greeted her! Brute?
Pretty near it. What do you think?

FARM NOTES.

Any abuse inflicted upon the cow
poisons the milk to some extent.
Look after the water supply closely
now; good water and plenty of it
should be the rule.
The stagnant water that the COW
may be forced to drink goes into the
milk, with all or most of the nastiness
of the water.
It does not need proving that land
cannot be overcropped if supplied
