TOO OBLlGING.
A HOusemaid's Effort to Please and
Its Disappointing Result.


A young woman, whose home is in St.
Paul, spent few days in Washington the
guest of a congressional family from New
England. She had just returned from a
six months tour Of Europe, and the travel
ing bag she carried was plastered over with
steamer labels and stamps Of half the
famous hotels on the continent. She is not
an ostentatious person, by any means, the
St. Paul girl, but she certainly did set great
store by that decorated bag, and gazed with
pride on it's collection of labels. Her charm
OF manner and the liberality Of her tips,
too, perhaps, completely won the heart of
the trim New England housemaid of the
congressional family. On the morning of the
guests departure for St. Paul the maid ap-
peared at the door of her room, wreathed
with smiles and holding the travelling bag
in her hand.

to the unsatisfactory results obtained
from the use of the heating process
used to do away with the offal.
In regard to ., the pubic, roads
the jury made the following report:
s.Thxt Mr.. Ben Avant, member of
che police jury of~this parish, who
has in his care oxen belonging to
the parish, did on the. 9th day. of
said oxen to Mr. Foreman who had
instructions from the. road overseer
of that ward to go to Mr.. Avant
and ~ sehe oxen to, do some work
on the public road. The reason
tiyen by Mr.. Avant for not turning
over theEoxen was that they were
not strong enough to do public
work, while he, on that very same day,
was using the said oxen to break
new land for his own benefit. We
would further state that Mr.. Forem an
said that he was satisfied that had
he got the oxen he would have been

IUDGR DEBAlLLoN'S CHARGE.
He Suggests to the Jurors the Pro"

Constitutional Convention.

After delivering the usual charge
to the grand jury Judge Debaillon
did what some of his contreres in
othersdistricts Of the State have
done since the election of delegates
to the constitutional convention.
He stated to the jurors that he be-
lieved it his duty to express his
opinion on the question of the
judiciary and to suggest to them
the propriety of formulating a me-
mortal to the convention, which
has just assembled in New Orleans.
Before giving his views on the judi
ciafy the judge stated the great
question of suffrage was already
receiving the attention Of COM
mittee composed of the best men
of the State, who would settle that
vexed problem we'll and SATISFACTORY
1y. Judge Debaillon. then gave his
views on the movement to change
the judiciary, which, considering
his long service on the bench, are
entitled to no little weight. He
stated that with slight changes the
present system would be the best
the State has ever had; that the
trouble was with the mode of pro-
cedure rather than with the system
aeSelf$ sHeladded that he believed
the Supreme, Circuit and District
Courts should remain as they are
now constituted. He stated that
he favored the retention of the JUS
tice court. but added that this lat
ter tribunal should be vested
with more jurisdiction which
would empower it to dispose of
m,sdemeafiofs and cases not neces-
sarily punishable at hard labor.
