Quarantine Against Charlton.

Times Democrat.
The Louisiana State Board OF
Health, in establishing quarantine
regulations against the introduction
and spread of oharbon from the
State Of Mississippi. has done only
what it was required to do in de-
Tense ofsthe public health and the
public interests.
1t is perfectly clear that the
a :tion of the Louisiana State Board
of Health under the circumstances
has been both necessary and wise;
indeed, similar action has already
been taken by Tennessee. Without
emphasizing TOO vigorously Condi-
tions that now exist in some of the
Mississippi counties, it is sufficient
to state that the prevalence of char
bon requires that the authorities
both in Mississippi and in other
States should strive as best they
may to isolate the disease and to
segregate it's victims.
1t is to be hoped that the Missis-
slppi State Board of Health will
contrive some means whereby funds
can be assured sufficient to provide
methods for successfully resisting
the ravages of Charlton. A liberal
policy which would enable the Mis-
sissippl Board Of Health to do
handily what it has in view would
be everywhere Endorsed by public
sentiment.

Massachusetts is about the last
State one would look to il in search
of compliments to Southern Demo-
Gratis, and the Nj Ssachusetts Club,
composed as it : largely Of the
cold guard" Republicans of the
ON monwealth, is about the last
quarter in NJ assachusetts from which
anybody would expect such com
pliments. Nevertheless and not
with standing, as Senator Vest would
say, Secretary Long of the Navy,
in a recent address to the members
of this club, while discussing the
progress and importance Of the navy
and the support which Congress
had given to measures looking to
the improvement of the navy and
the general welfare of the country,
took occasion to pay this marked
compliment to the statesmen Of the
South:
.'When l think of results like
these, continued Secretary Long, l
cannot help saying that something
of them is due to the character of
our Southern representatives. The
Southern member, though we have
differed from him, has been a leaven
working toward the honesty of the
native character, and toward the
high standard it has always main
tanned of personal integrity"
1t is scarcely necessary to add
that this generous Acknowledgements
of the high character and personal
integrity of the typical Southern
statesman is but a just recognition
of well-known fact. The Southern
statesmen have, with but slight ex-
ceptions, been the conservative
force in the government from ITS
foundation up TO the present time.
The South has not been entirely
free from self seeking men, but the
than in most other sections, while
the high character which her early
statesmen have given the govern
ment has been acknowledged by all.
AS rule, also, the Southern Sena-
tors and Congressman have always
been less selfish and rapaclous in
making demands upon the common
treasury than the Northern Con-
gressmen have been, while their
support has been freely given to
such measures as tended to enhance
the welfare and prestige of the
government, at the same time that
it has fought with incorporating
zeal such measures as are found to.
be unworthy.
Our members of Congress, and
| Southern statesmen generally, might
often, and with profit to themselves
and to their country, look back upon
the wide and glorious space South
ern statesmen have occupied in the
creation and development of our
common country, and take heart of
hope. In this age when selfshness
seems to rule ''the court, the camp,
the field" the splendid examples set
by the Southern statesmen of the
first sixty or seventy years of our
governments existence ought to
furnish inspiration for the struggles
that are still ahead of US. Secretary

NAPOLEON'S EYE.

One Look From 1T Explained HIS
Power Over Men.
In 1887, while working in London as
q curate to the Rev. Canon Fleming, l
was called in my wears absence to ad-
minister religious service to an old
admiral in Eaton square. The admi-
RAILS name was Eden. After the Serv
ice was over he took my hand and
said: "Shake hands with me, young
man. There are not many alive who
can say what can say. You are talk
ing with a man who has talked to Ma
poleon the Great" "Sir," l said, that
is history. May 1 hear more?" The
old admiral then told me that he was
once returning with the fleet-I think
from the West Indies, but Of that am
not sure-and touched at st. Helena.
The admiral said, II am going up to
Longwood to pay my respects to Napo-
leon, and the senior midshipman comes
with me-
81 was the senior midshipman," said
the old gentleman, land so l went. We
waited for Napoleon in an outer room,
and you must imagine how eagerly
OApcCI6u LIS uc uOOI was
thrown open at last, and in he came.
He was short and fat and nothing very
attractive but for his eye. My word,
sir, have never seen anything like it.
After speaking to the admiral he turn
ed to me, and then understood for the
first time in my life what was the
meaning of the phrase, a born ruler Of
men, l had been taught to hate the
French as hated the devil, but when
Napoleon looked at me there was such
power and majesty in his look that if
he had bade me lie down that he might
| walk over me l would have done it at
once, English MILDLY though l was.
The look on Napoleon's face was the
revelation of the man and the explana-
ton of his power. He was born to
command"
Such was Admiral Eden's version to
me Of an incident which at 90 years old
or thereabout seemed to him as fresh
as if it had happened only the day be-

A MAYORS MIRACLE.
He Made the Blind See, the Deaf
Hear and the Lame Walk


Hear and the Lame Walk.
From the many anecdotes of Bamp-
fylde Moore Carew's rogueries in Ar
thur Montefore Brices essay on that
Amazing Vagabond" we quote one in
which Carew and his gypsy crew who
had rigged themselves up as cripples
and gathered at Bridgewater fair to
plunder the junketers came off second
best.
When the mayor of Bridgewatei
heard that this motley group of Grip
pies had arrived, he announced to some
Of his friends that he was possessed of
q power they perhaps little suspected
that, in fact, he could make the blind
see, the deaf hear and the lame walk.
Bets were freely made that he could do
nothing of the kind, and thereupon the
mayor had the gypsies arrested and
Immediately brought before him and,
after hearing their narrowing tales, or
dered them to be confined for the night
in the lookup.
About 10 o'clock at nigh1, however,
the municipal surgeon entered with a
lantern and announced that he would
examine them all in the morning in or
der to report to the mayor whether or
not they really suffered from deformity
of one kind or another, and he went on
to say that those who were found to be
impostors would be treated by the
mayor with severity SO extreme that,
moved to pity, he would allow any such
misguided wretch to escape there and
then from the lookup on condition that
he Immediately left the town.
At this intelligence a great commo-
ton arose, and in less time than it
takes to write it the whole crowd surg
ed out Of the lookup, dinging away
their crutches and wooden legs, patch
es and bandages, and made off down
the town at topmost speed, the blind
leading the way with unerring steps,
the dumb crying aloud their fears, the
deaf replying to them, and the lame
sprinting along at a rattling pace.
Now, just opposite the lookup, on the
farther side of the street, stood the wit
ty mayor and his friends, convulsed
with laughter at the success of his
acknowledgements.

Abyss1nfaDs Expert at ThatchtnS.
In describing Abyssinia and it's
strange capital a writer in Pearson's
tells of it's mushroom growth as fol-
lows: A crowd Of workers appears with
loads of sticks some IL feet high. These
are planted in the ditch to erect the
walls, and few more sticks are twist
ed in and out to keep them together.
Now comes the preparation of the roof.
A number of men climb up inside and
bind together more sticks like the
frame of an umbrella. AS soon as these
are in position they Chamber outside
like monkeys and set to work to thatch.
For this purpose they bring great
bundles of hay and twine it between
the sticks. They are not an artistic ma
ton, and they have next to no indus
tries, but at thatching they are really
expert, end they turn out work which
would call for admiration even in q
civilized country. They do not trouble
to produce an elegant finish, but this
often adds to the pictur1Squeness Of q
