ENGLISH Axes at Hastings.

At the battle of Hastings the corps
d'elite of the English army were ac'
coutered with sword and shield, and
IN addition to this they had hung
''great hatchets on their necks, with
which they could strike doughty
blows" Whenever a special deed of
valor is credited to an Englishman in
that battle. with one exception. it is
due. to the ak he bears. And now
what were. these axes that dealt such
deadly, destruction on the Norman
knight? As to this we are left in no
doubt. Time after time does WAGE
call them great axes" The head

Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do,
Set watch upon your actions, keep
them always straight and true;
Rid your mind Of selfish motives, let
your thoughts be clean and high,
You can make a little Eden OF the
sphere you occupy.
DO you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start,
BY accommodating wisdom in the scrap
book Of your heart.
DO not waste one page on folly; live
to learn and learn to live.
II you want to give men knowledge,
you must get It ere you give.
DO you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day

For tne pleasure Of the many may be

AS the hand that plants the acorn
shelters armies from the sun.

leaned low upon his horses neck as il
searching for a trail. Soon they heard
the clatter and the sharp yells of rid
ers on all sides, and two or three fig
ures, dimIy outlined in the fog, ap-
peared, riding on either hand.
To these nearat-hand enemies the
brother-friends paid not the slightest
heed. They rode forward initiating
their yells and warning cries. but i'm
perceptibly falling to the rear until all
the pursuers had passed; and when
the last beat of hoof had died away
they matted and grinned at each other.
In the fog they wandered, evading
struggling hunters, until nightfall~
Then, with infinite caution, they made
their way out of the valley and rode
flomeward. They arrived at the Ogal-
IaIa village in safety, and were well
coined with the acclaim which always
greeted the return Of the successful

Probably Boon Island would be but
little known outside Of New Hamp-

were not for the fact that the island
is the terminal of the Cape Ann trial

THE VENDETTA IN THIBET.
w. C. Jameson Tells in the BookIovs

W. u Jameson iellS III Tue DOOhtON~
ers' Magazine of Its Survival.
The worst trait Of the Thibetans
is their ungovernable hostility and
their love of warfare. Each tribe is
generally at war with its neighbor,
and in many cases on the most trivial
pretext. Two men may quarrel over
the possession Of a knife or equally
valueless article. The aggrieved
party returns to his village or en-
campment and reports the facts in
the case to his chief. His right to-
the article in dispute is never con-
sidered; it is enough that he should
have Quarreled over it. War is i'm
madiately declared. ON the tribe Of his
rival by sending messengers with ar
rows dipped in blood, and the head
Of any unfortunate prisoner Of war
who may have been captured prior
to the outbreak Of hostilities. From
that moment the quarrel becomes
deadly. No concerted action is
taken, the future strife being much in
the nature Of a gigantic feud. When
a man of one tribe meets one of the
rival tribe, a combat takes place I'M
til one or the other has been killed,
the victor cutting off the head of his
y@nQui8hed foe as a trophy of his
prOwess. His standing among his
people is determined by the number
Of these CORY trophies adjoining the
roof of his dwelling. Poisoned food,
and the poisoning Of wells and
springs, are subt6rfuges which either
tribe feels itself perfectly at liberty
to use to encompass the downfall
of a rival. This sanguinary feud may
last for months, or even years, until
a powerful chief, not in the quarrel,
steps in and orders representatives
Of each Of the warning factions to-
meet at his hut. There a feast has
ben prepared; and two bowls Of food,
one Of which contains poison, are
placed before the two emissaries. The
tribe whose representative dies Of
poison is proven the aggressor, and is
obliged to pay a heavy fine of cattle
and other articles of value to the
tribe whose claims have been sus-
tanned by the process of ordeal. A
similar method is adopted in the set.

viduals of the same community, when

"See brother-friond, what a fine
pony | haye
Yellow Sun had ridden at gallop
across the prairie to where a group OF
lads were playing at hoop and sticks.
The. rider addressed White Hawk
who had been looking on, absorbed in
the game. This tall youth turned to
greet the newcomer.
why, so you nave, other brother!"
he said. lie examined the prancing,
spotted pony with a young Indians
keen interest and delight in horses.
My father just now gave me this
pony He says it is time for me to go
to the hunt" said yellow Sun, proud
W. He bought this fine horse of my
uncle at PoDca Creek. Now see him
make the antelope ashamed"
He wheeled and dashed across the
prairie, his mount going with the rush
of a frightened deer. He cut a beauti-
full circle and returned.
Alas" said White Hawk, my
father is too poor to give me a pony.
He has only his riding pony and one
old Pawnee travels horse"
Yellow Suns citation vanished. His
face fell. These Ogallala youths had
been brother-friends since they had
blinked at each other from their era
oil boards. They had shared all things
in common Each had taken delight
in giving to the other his most cher
ished possession.
Yellow Sun hesitated but an instant;
then he leaped from the pony's back
and thrust its lariat into the hands of
his friend.
Take this horse, brother; it is
yours, he said Il did not indeed in
tend to keep this one Doubtless my
relatives will give me another"
White Hawks delight was fine to
see. w-how-hoW," he said. 1t
seemed that he could say nothing else.
Then, in daze Of joy, ne leaped upon
the ponys back and rode away to try
the animals speed
Soon all the people in the village
knew OF this gift. Nearly all Of them
said that yellow Sun was a most gen
erous young man to give away his first
pony, and just as the buffaloes were
beginning to come. The lads father
and mother, however, said nothing.
Some days afterward a herd of buff
faloes was seen by the village scout,
and when he came in crying his re-
port. all the hunters went scurrying
after their horses. Everybody who
had a horse and could bear arms rode
away to the hunt
In this excitement Yellow Sun, who
had failed to receive another pony,
was left behind. His grief and disap-
pointment We're so great that ne went
away from the village and hid himself
during the day.
When he returned to the teepee at
night he found mis- parents looking
very sober. They said nothing for
a long time. then his mother smoke

THE EXECUTIVE Committees
ID ACTION.

We publish elsewhere in to-
days issue the full proceedings of
the meeting of the Parish Demo.
cratic Executive Committee held
in Franklin on Thursday last. The
action taken by the Committee
in regards to the fling of contest
to the Contest Board against the
printing on the official ballots of
the names of any persons as can
didates on the Republican ticket
who participated in the Democra-
tic primary held January 10th,
was in our opinion legal and in
the interest OF political honesty.
Under the primary laws of our
State when a person participates
in primary election he is bound
legally as we'll as morally by the
result of said primary. The law
of the State compels no man to
60 into an election unless he so
desires, and when he does, he is
fully aware of the names of the
candidates on the ticket. The
Democracy of the Parish of st.
Mary has never, and does not now,
object to opposition, but it does
object, and strenuously SO, to par
ties participating in the primar-
les and when their candidates fail
OF election, disregard the law of the
State and their moral obligation,
by joining another party, thereby
assisting to defeat the ticket they
helped to make.
Every man who participated in
the primary election held in this
Parish on January 10th, is honor
ably bound by the result of said
primary and should support the
nomin ees at the April election.

cans. The party orators in this
State are fully as resourceful.
One of their first moves ere the
late Democratic primary had
"joined the les ion of the depart
ed" and the Jastremski wing of the
party had been defeated, was to
promulgate a platform declaring
against executive appointments,
against political sinecures, and
concluding with an arraignment
of the Democratic organization as
wholly responsible for ills innum-
cradle, real, fancied or imaginary.
The adoption of this platform was
at once apparent. It was for the
purpose of capturing the votes of
those Democrats who advocated
and voted for the principles ad-
vocated by General Jastremski.
These declarations might have
been taken sincerely by some and
the consistency of the State Re-
publican party not very materially
impaired; but "the straw which
broke the camel's back'' was when,
in the same breath, that self-same
platform declared for white SUI
premacy and the political ostro-
cism of the negro. On this theme
the voluble Republican orators
are now going through the State
haranguing the intelligent white
men of Louisiana, PROSECUTING
among them and asking for their
votes and political support. There
have been numerous minor and
important political appointments
conferredson negroes in this State
in recent years by Republican
presidents-there are some now
one of the chief clerks in the GUS
tomhouses is negro by the name
of Johnson-but never have we
seen where one of these orators
dared to put himself on record in
opposition to such appointments.
Not a word escapes their lips
about the Indianola, (Miss.) Incl
dent or the appointment of Crum to
one of the best political berths in
the State of South Carolina, not |
withstanding the most vigorous
and persistent protests of the best |
white people in each of those re-
spective communities. With the
black rank and file of the State
every ready to embrace their old
political adherence to the party of |
Grant and Lincoln, this newly
metamorphosised white suprem-
acy" Republican party will have,
like the leopard, no little difficulty
in convincing intelligent Demo-
Gratis of the Jastremski persuasion
that it has forever cleansed itself |
of its spot. A party that has a
metropolitan police invasion and |
Federal bayonet interference to |
its credit in the dire past and not
a commendable act in recent |
years on which to base it's present |
big professions-only hopes and
illusions of fancied iactional |
Democratic discord-must vet |
hold itself in patience for con-
siderable time ere it can, by such |
expedients, secure political con-
troll Of State enjoying the bles-
sings and prosperity of benign
Democratic government.
