PANSY.

From the New Orleans States.
The March number OF "Men and
Matters" an attractive little maya
zine published in this city, contains
the picture and brief sketch Of the
personality and literary work OF Mrs.
Julia Rule, who has for the past
eighteen years served in the various
capacities of reporter, bookkeeper,
travelling correspondent, cashier, COL
lector and society editress of the
Shreveport Times.
We take especial pleasure in en-
dorsing every word OF the high COM
mendation of Mrs. Rule. Left q
widow when quite a young woman,
with three small children and her
aged parents almost entirely de-
pendent upon her exertions for sup
port, her life has been one Of unre-
hitting toll in her vocation, either
chosen or forced upon her-that Of
journalism. And most nobly has she
discharged the onerous duties that
devolved upon her. Unspoiled by
praise, retaining at all times the
modesty and gentle courtesy which
are the browning glory Of woman
hood, she has treaded the stony
pathway Of life with steady steps
aud unshrinking courage, winning
the affection and commanding the
respect of all with whom she has
been brought in contact. A loving
and dutiful wife and daughter, de-
voted mother and true friend, she is
pearl beyond all price. We lift
our bat and bow in reverence before
all such women, who are in verify
the salt of the earth.

A Jackson, Miss, correspondent
writes to the New Orleans Piclyune
as follows:
An old Confederate soldier was
upset this morning by the converse
ton between two young men. He
was passing as they met. He saw
them greet each other cordially, aud
hear one say: II EN- glad, SO glad,
to see you again; this is the first
time I have seen you since the war. "
The old veteran looked at them for a
moment, and, as he walked of, be
was heard to say that "the war was
over before either of them kids was
born" A bystander suggested to
him that they were soldiers of the
late war between the United States
and Spain. The old Confederate did
not seem pleased with the explana-
tion, for he remarked that was not q
sure-enough war and passed on,
leaning heavily upon his cane.

ELECTRICAL SEASONING con-
sular reports of May 5 describe the
Nodon-B retonean process of season
ing timber by means of electricity.
Electrical osmose is utilized. The
wood is placed in solution of borax,
carbonate of soda and rosin, and
electricity is passed through it six
or eight hours (for q ten.inch log),
after which it is slowly dried for
some months. The sap passes out
and is replaced by borax and rosin.
Wood thus treated is said to resist
putrefaction and become stronger.
So successful is the process that the
shares Of the company working it
sell at premium Of 600 per cent.

The railroad commission Of this
State is just as much benefit to the
people as those OF the other States,
and that is nothing. For all the
good that the commissioners can do
they might as well stay at home and
draw their salaries there. They can't
reduce freight rates, and, in fact, are
powerless for good since the United
States Supreme Court decided
against the Nebraska and Texas rail.
road commissions. The Nebraska
decision was rendered before our
last constitutional convention met,
and we saw at once that the useful
ness of q State railroad commission
was at On end and useless expense
to the people. Previous to that de-
cision we advocated a railroad CON-
mission for Louisiana, but afterward
the Town Talk changed and its edi-
tor petitioned the. delegates of this
parish to vote agaigst q railroad COM
mission. We will advocate an
amendment to the constitution to
wipe out the railroad commission OF
this State and save the people about
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
per annum that is now thrown away
in paying the salaries OF the commits
sioners and other necessary expen-
ses.-Alexandria Town Talk.
Referring to the Alger rotten beef
contract and the Mckinley admins
tration, the New Orleans States
says:
What pains US much is that Gen.
Joe Wheeler participated in the full
some praise of the same enemy and
nearly outdid Merritt. We have
heard of no position that Gen.
Wheeler is fishing Or bidding for,
and we believe be is as clean as be is
brave. But this we do know-that
there is not a private among the
Confederate veterans who would not
rather hold the place that Wheeler
so lately held in the hearts OF his
heroic old comrades than to secure
the highest position in the gift of
the President and his corrupt admin
istration. And we do not believe
there is one of the grizzled bearded
soldiers OF Lee and Jackson who will
not be cut to the quick by hearing
Joe Wheeler on the stump praising
Alger and Mckinley, and declaring
that he knows of no Encouragement
Of the war.

disclosed in the mine lately, and while
officials of the company assert that
nothing extraordinary has happened the
news is learned from reliable sources
that the management has prepared for
shipment within the past few days 100
sacks of ore that viii run upwards of
200 ounces in silver to the ton r. ].
