There is a humorous side to the for.

complained to a taotoi, or local gov
ernor, that the people pulled up and
carried off the stakes that his survey.
ors had driven into the ground to guide
the construction gangs in grading the
right-of-way, SO that he had been
compelled to do the work over three
or four times. The tatoi promised that
the mischief should stop, and said that
he would give the matter his personal
attention. The surveyors went over
the line again and marked it out care.

came back few weeks later they
found that every one of the markers
for miles had disappeared. The chief
engineer in the heat of his wrath
rushed to the taotoi to make com.

was childlike and bland, attempted tc
soothe him by saying: "The stakes are

A DISTINCT INNOVATION.
A Prominent Preacher to he the
Orator Mt the Confederate Re
union at Louisville.

New Orleans, April 2S.-Rev. DIR. B.
NJ. Palmer. of the Presbyterian church
of this city, will deliver the opening
Grafton at the coming reunion of the
confedarte veterans at Louisville. Ky.
The selection of DIR. Palmer, who is
distinguished as an orator in The
southern pulpit. marks a distinct iu-
novation, as heretofore the Grafton at
the different reunions has been deliv-
eral by statesmen and generals of the
confedracy.
One reason set forth as leading to
the invitation of DIR. Palmer to deliver
the oration this year was that there
has been u surfeit of politics in Ken
tuely of late, and it is believed that it
would be appropriate at this reunion
to have preacher for this task. More
and more each year the organization
of the confederate veterans is becoln-
ing dissociated with politics, and is
being devoted TO the benevolent care
of the infirm ard aged among the liv-
ing veterans, and to the care of the
graves and the memory of the dead
