The Dog DAYS.

The "dog days" refer to the days
when Sirius or the 'Dogstar" rises
and sets with the sun. They en-
brace a period of about forty days,
beginning in the latter part of July
and ending in the early days of
September. The time of their be-
ginning and ending is variously
computed. In the English alma
macs they are stated as beginning
July Sd and ending August 1lth.
The American Encyclopedia says:
"this name is applied to the period
between the Oath of July and the
Oath of August" whereas DR.. Web
ster states that "they begin the lat
ter part of July and end the FIRST
of September"
In the scientific world they are
called "canicular days." the term
being derived from the Latin,
CAMS, a dog. The canicular star
is the star which astronomers des-
ignate as the star from which the
Egyptians computed their heliac
year. In all countries the "dog
days" are thought to be unusually
trying upon the human constitu-
tion-some attributing it to the Pc
culiar conjunction of the stars, and
others to other evil influences. AS.
a matter of fact they are the most
trying days of the year, and expe-
rience has taught men that it is
best to be careful during this cru
cial period of the year.
Several persons have lately asked
the editor of the Chronicle what
constituted the dog days." and he
has been forced to reply, doggoned
if he knew. He has fshed around
for a little information on the sub
ject, and gives the result Of HE re-
searches for the benefit of all con-
cerned.

The Editor and His Ways.

| -
The editor of the Colfax Chron
icle is always Democratic, but in.
dependent in his views of men and
matters. He leaves it to those
who have too little brains to think
for themselves to follow after pop.
ular clamor and demagogic meas.
ures. He believes 1t to be the
privilege and the duty of an editor
to lead and not tollo,o public senti-
ment. He has taken issue with
the Greenbackers, and has seen
their "rag- baby" retired into OBJ
livion; he was "gold-bug" when
that term was a reproach in Grant
parish, but he has lived to see
sound money and common sense
prevail; he had the independence
to tell the Populists they were fool
ish in their ideas, and has seen
them fade as a dream. He now
believes that a number of we'll
meaning but ill-informed Demo-
Gratis have been led off into the
fallacy that nominations by prima-
~ election are necessary, right,
and the proper thing to do to curry
popular favor. After considering
the subject in the light of history
and experience, he has taken de-
cided stand in favor of adhering to
the time-honored Democratic plan
OF making all nominations by con-
vention. If a majority of the Dem
ocrnts decide against US, well and
good. Any plan that suits them
suits us. In the mean time, when.
ever the matter is up for discus
sion, we wish it to be understood
that our voice is against primary
elections, until We can be shown
more just and cogent reasons than
have yet been advanced in their
support If we ever find we are
mistaken in this stand, we will
"eat crow" with the best grace pos
sibie, but we will have to ask our
friends to bear with rs for a while.

Wehave received the new catalogue
of the Louisiana State University
and Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege ut Baton Rouge. 1t is elegantly
printed and beautifully illustrated,
and it's contents show many improve
ments in that great Institution OF
learning. notwithstanding theaddi-
ton of two years to the age limit Of
admission, the University enrolled
424 young men last session. They
came not only from all sections OF
Louisiana, but from eight other
States and seven foreign countries,
thus producing a cosmopolitan at
mosphere that tends to enlarge the
outlook and broaden the mind of the
student. The Hill Memorial Library,
the new Mechanical Workshop, and
the new Laboratory for Physics, Flee
tricity, and Civil Engineering have
been completed; and the University
win have it's own electric plant in OPP
Grafton at the beginning OF the SEES
sion. These Improvements will add
greatly to the thoroughness and full
ness OF the instruction along literary
as wen as scientific lines. In short. II
the Louisiana State University is
making as rapid progress MS this
handsome catalogue would indicate,
it is surely keeping abreast Of the
times, and is well worthy Of the sup
port and patronage OF our people.

the Mississippi primary election

ness to puplic inspection in such a

Mount Vesuvius is in active
eruption again. On last Wednes-
day the side of the volcano opened
like a great mouth and poured q
stream of red hot lava down its de-
cliyities. The sight as seen from
Naples was grand and beautiful,
but it struck terror into the hearts
of the inhabitants who lived in the
villages about the base of the
mountain, and nearly all deserted
their homes in fright There seems
to be but little real danger 50 far,
and the people began to return in
a few hours, as the eruption soon
spent its force.

score years. A special dispatch of
August 26th, from Atlanta, Ga,
says:
The funeral of MAJOR Charles 81.
Smith { bill Arp,) who died Mon
day night at his home near Carriers
vile, Ga, was held to-day from
the First Presbyterian Church in
that place.
The services were exceedingly
simple, according to the expressed
wishes of the late philosopher.
The pallbearers were the elders
and deacons of the church of which
Mr.. Smith had for long time been
a deacon. Rev. Sam p. Jones, the
evangelist, assisted Mr.. Smiths
pastor in the service.
