in State Convention at Louisville on
Wednesday Of last week, and for
several days no business was done
on account Of so much discord among
the different factions. After harrang-

hoped that everything is serene and
the Democrats will carry the State
by large majority.

The debenture concerns that -four
ished for time in New Orleans and
robbed the poor people out of their
hard.earned money, have been
knocked out by the Supreme Court.

much money did these Ubiquitous
concerns spend in keeping that law
from being passed by the Legisla-
ture?

 Shortly stated, the essential factor in the production of nostalgia is an envi- ronment differing from that amidst which the affected person passed his or her early days. When this is the case some intangible influence is gem erated which reacts upon the victim, but just as happens in many official maladles, there muset first be innate receptivity or preparedness of soil on the part of the individual who suc- cumbs. This receptive state is favored by at least three different things-race. education and temperament: but of these predieposing causes the last pos eesses less power than either of the others.

 THE RAGE OF THE CAGOTS.

A French People Detested by Their Neighbors-No Ground for Their Per- secution
 The first historical mention of the Cagots dates from about the eleventh century. Their origin is very uncer tain, as several authors have pet theo ries on the subject, which all amount in the end to very much the same thing pure surmise.- What was a Cagot? was he foreigner; was he an atheist? Nothing of the kind He was French
 man. good Catholic, exactly as others were. What was the matter with him.
 then? He was a Cagot. One is re-
 minded of the old rhyme of Dr. Fell.
 There was dislike, but no reason. When
 one knows no real reason, the obvious course is to invent one, or several and
 this is what the pure race, as they
 called themselves, did First and fore
 most, they said the Cagots were lepers
 that they descended, in fact, from
 Gehazi, and that therefore they were an
 accused race. It was bad enough
 to be leper, even without the outward
 and visible signs, but there was a great
 deal more to be said against the Cagots
 Their breath was detestable and poison-
 ous; they had no lobe to their ears;
 they were born without tails, which
 their cunning mothers instantly pinched
 off; their skin was winter, their hair
 fairer, their eyes bluer than a good
 Frenchmane had right to be. They were sorcerers and warlocks; they had the evil eye; the unnatural heat of their
 body was such that if a Cagot held some grass or fruit in his hand it dried up and withered, and even in winter he could bear no covering on his bed. They were specially licentious, hot tenn pered, covetous, naughty, sinfully proud and pretentious At certain phases of the moon their skin became red and scaly, obliging them to use decocton of ivy leaves with which to bathe it. The moon was also responsible for a kind Of delrium which seized on the Cagots, causing them to rush wildly about as if they were mad. These out breaks were called the Cagoutelle, and seenl-if it be true that they ever ecl- isted-to correspond to the Neapolitan tarantella.
 All the facts proved that the Cagots were dangerous and terrible people, who must not he allowed to consider then- selves equal to their purer brethren, but must be constantly reminded Of their inferior condition, a duty which the pious countryfolk undertook and carried out with great conscientious | ness, helped by law and Church. A Cagot was forbidden to carry any wea- pon of defence, which in those days of | blood and iron reduced a man at once to the condition of a serf and made 1t l impossible for him to hold his own against the brutal and clustering man at arms The churches could not be i closed to them, but the priests forced 1 them to enter the holy place by sep- l arate door, so low that the accursed | ones were forced to bend their heads to | pass through, There was a special Ca got holy water stoup, and an imaginary | line or boundary in the church, across which no Cagot might venture. The i conSecratsd wafer was held out to them on a long wooden fork by the priest standing on his own side of the |

boundary. No priest would receive the confession of Cagot, although these poor people seem to have been most anxious to perform their religious du- tiea The Church never appears to have tried to soften their hard lot; on the contrary, the priests were careful to prevent the curse that weighed upon them from falling into abeyance. Even so date as the eighteenth century we read that a seigneur of Lourbes having insisted upon marrying Cagot, his brother who was cure of Lourbes, had his estates confis2ated, by virtue of an old law which reduced any one marry ing a Cagot to the same condition. To this day the descendants of this couple are peasants.
 It took five Cagots to witness against one pure man. They were obliged to wear a piece of cloth sewn on the front of their dress; in some parts this was shaped like a ducks foot and was either red or yellow. They had to eat the meat condemned as bad in the mar kets a privilege which they seemed to have shared with the lepers, to whom they were so constantly and so unjust ly likened, for we find in an old statute of the time of Robert III of Scotland the following pleasing proviso: Tt is statute that gif any man brings to the market corrupt swine or salmond to be sauld, they salbe taken to the Bail lies; and incontinent without any ques- tion, salbe send to the Lipper folk. and gif there be no Lipper folk, they salbe destroyed alluterlie ie"-Cornhill MapaZine.

 Han Also,
 The board of finance met for their regular weekly meeting yesterday at- ternoon and after approving the weekly bills took up the matter of Iialstead GS Harmount's bill of $s2. which was re- fused consideration several weeks ago The bill is one for supplies contracted by the director Of public works during the Farnsworth administration, and was sent to Director Troup for his ap- prove! This was refused because the appropriation for that particular ac- count had been exhausted. Mir. Hal stead appeared before the board and was heard in relation to the account and the board returned it to Director Troup for his approval.
 The salary of City Attorney Brown is in jeopardy, as he has not filed bond with the new controller. He had a bond filed with Controller Brown, but that is null and void with the new ad- n1inistration. Mr. Brown has been ill for the past few months and there was some question as to his doing the work Of the office.
 Another bill held up was that of w. E. Thompson, record clerk, and his son, F. w. Thompson, who Is clerk of the board of supervisors of steam boilers. The salaries of father and son are questioned,as there is rumor that they are one and the same, and the claim is set up that Thompson, the elder, is vio- -lating the city charter by holding two positions. An opinion will be asked of the corporation counsel before the bills are paid,
