Anna Held.

Nobody could expect the curtain
to part, but part it did, and there
stood Anna Held. Her riotous
hair furnished resting place for
a creation of plumes. Her gown
slipped away 10 show n perfect
neck, and arms and shoulders as
symmetrical as if carved by a mas
ter hand from Parian marble.
The skirt stopped short in time to
reveal graceful, silk-clad limbs and
dainty satin-shod feet. A sym
phony in pink and white, alive
with the scintillant sparklings of a
score of solitaires; clothed in a
stiffness that was the soul of life;
her marvellous eyes, tender and yet
mocking, swept over the audience
and there came a storm of applause
before her lips had opened, before
she left the pose in which the flood
of light had revealed her.
Anna Held is a beautiful woman.
Her beauty does not appeal to the
best there is in man. 1t is a beauty
that is wicked, self-conscious and
self-vaunting; a beauty that is
modern, insistent and sensuous.
Could repose and Anna Held exist
in the same breath it is probable
that she would not be beautiful at
all, so far as her face is concerned.
Her features are far from regular.
But there are her eyes and there is
her smile. These reservations are
enough to redeem the most hope
lessly homely woman who ever
lived into dangerous attractive
ness.
1t is when she is seemingly still
that she most fills the vision and
demands admiration. She is palpi-
tant, glowing. She says nothing
suggests everything. She voices
the uttermost in a glance-strikes
the strings of all that should not
be with a smile. Times Democrat.

The LOUISIANA Convention.

The Southern states at the close
Of the civil war were restored to
their places in the union, and were
accorded the full constitutional
right to ratify the amendment
freeing the negroes, but when they
refused, in the exercise of that
right, to make citizens of them,
then these states were violently
ravished of their rights, and put
through Il course of oppression
and compulsion which was only
relaxed on the condition of sub
mitting to all sorts of political
dictation, and only came to an
end, and that by slow degrees,
years afterwards.
When the people OF the north
ern states shall come fairly and
honestly to consider that this en-
tire matter, which should have
been decided with deliberation and
upon grounds of reason, fairness
and patriotism, was made oper-
ativo and authoritative by the'ex-
ercise of the most arbitrary and |
unwarranted violence, they will
realize the enormous crime that
has been committed, and, if they
shall fail to take action to undo it, |
they will at least recognize the

The Same Case Here.

The number of horses and mules
brought to Natchez for sale this
season astonlshes the most of those
who have been paying attention to
this branch of business during the
past decade. 1t has been expected
that there would be little or no de-
mand for these animals this season,
both on account Of the price of cot
ton. and because it was thought
that nearly everybody had all the
work stock they wanted. But, on
the contrary, more mules have al
ready been brought here this sea-
son than for several years past,
nearly every train into the city
bringing in one or more car
loads, yet the demand keeps pace
with the supply, if it does not oc-
casionally exceed it. Of course,
every horse or mule purchased
another bale of cotton dur
ing the coming season, and more
cotton will probably mean still
lower prices. The mule traders
are reaping their harvest now, but
it remains to be seen what the har-
vest of cotton planters is going to
be when they come to market with
.he additional cotton the mules as
,ist in producing. -Natchez Demo
