On Wednesday, the 25th inst, the
members of the First Presbyterian
church, of New Orleans, celebrated
the eigltieth birthday of the Rev.
DIR. b. M. Palmer. The event was
one of the most remarkable of Its
kind ever held in New Orleans, and
was participated in by the entire
population of New Orleans, people of
all classes and religious tenets join
ing alike to do honor to the distin-
guished divine, whose life has been
one long day of lncessant toll for the
Master. DR.. Palmer has hsd mos.
remarkable career, and the echoes of
his voice have thrilled in the ears of
thousands for the last three score
years. An orator, divine, a
patriot, his deeds will reap golden
harvest in the years yet to come, and
his voice will sound when all that is
mortal shall be laid to rest. Nav he
yet live long to do good in the call
ing OF which he is the southland's
leading exponent.

Won't we hustle? Won't we? Say?
Well haul down our last years fiddle

And when we're done, we'll buy new and

For it's goodbye. Hard Times, come again

But "ginger round" intendin' like,

When the big, new. East and West road,

And the street cars git ter runnln' and the
Electric lights to glow,

And as we tantalize 'em, pile on more and

The admission of Utah Territory to
statehood was a serious mistake, and
1t seems very strange to the outside
world that the intelligent gentiles
should have permitted it, especially
when they had full power and held
the reins. BY the admission to state
hood, the women were enfranchised.
placing the entire control of all state
and municipal affairs in the hands of
the Mormons. All the officers from
Governor to a policeman are Nor
mons. Polygamy will again be
practiced and all the authorities will
walk around with green goggles on.
and fail to discover that such das-
tardly crime is being practiced.
Those who are caught living in Poly
gamy will receive a small fine, which
will simply place small tax on each
wife. The Gentiles see their griev-
Gus mistake, and whenever you
meet an influential politician who
worked tooth and nail for statehood
he will swear that he was always op-
posed to it, and invariably says ~
told you so.'

His Deception Fooled.

The following we clip from the
Vicksburg Herald, of the 1st inst:
William Pritchett has been fooled in
an attempt to victiniize Mr.. Leonard
X. Barber, of East Carroll parish. La,
to the extent of $50. The attempt is
conspicuous for the ingratitude which
Pritchett displays to his benefactor.
| 1t will be remembered that Pritchett,
who is colored. was shot some time ago
by Supt. Webb, of Mr.. BARRIERS plan
tation Last Wednesday Mr.. Barber
brought Pritcbett to Vicksburg and
sent him from here to Atlanta, Ca, to
be subjected to an examination by the
X-rays in order to locate and remove a
bullet which had lodged in his back.
MIR. Barber sent Harrison Smith, a
trusted employee, with Pritchett. to
care for him, and paid all the expenses
of the trip for both men and also furn-
ished the money to get Pritchett into
the Greater Hospital at Atlanta. Har-
rison Smith was instructed to telegraph
to the P. P. Williams company of this
city if he needed any money and Mr..
Barber notified the Williams company
that if Smith telegraphed for any
money to send it to him at once. On
Friday the Williams company received
the following telegram from Atlanta:
Won't receive PIitchett at hospital;
please send $50.
CIVILIAN PRITCHETT."
The Williams company, suspecting
something was wrong at once wrote to
Mr.. Barber, in New Orleans, where be
had gone on business, asking him
whether they should send the money.
Mr.. Barber notified them to wait his
coming. and he arrived here yesterday
from New Orleans. Ore of the first
persons he met here was Harrison
Smith. who had just gotten back from
Atlanta. and who said that Prltchett
had gotten into the hospital all right
and that he needed no money. 1t then
became evident that Pritchett had at
tempted to secure $50 on false pre-
lenses.

In order to provide means for
meeting the enormous expenditure in
connection with ornaments, Japan
has decided to convert the produc-
tion and sale of tobacco into a state
monopoly. The government will
issue licenses to tobacco growers,
and the leaf must afterwards be sold
to the government at certain price.
The state will then resell it to the
trade at an advance of about 80 per
cent. BY this means Japan expects
to raise at least $40, 100000 annual
]y.
