Isaiah.

Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth
from evil maketh himself prey: and the
Lord saw it and it displeased him that there
was no Judgment Is.
Come ye, say they, will fetch wine, and
we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow shall be as this day, and
much more abundant.-56, IL.
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy
way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope ::
thou hast found the life of thine hand;
therefore thou vast not grieved. 81, 10.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come We to
the waters, and he that hath no money
come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy
wine and milk without money and without
price.-55, l.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the
fir tree, and instead Of the brier shall come
up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the
Lord for name, for an everlasting sign
that shall not be cut off.-55, Is.
For this is as the waters of Noah unto
me: for as have sworn that the waters of
Noah should no more go over the earth i;
SO have sworn that would not be wroth
with thee, nor rebuke thee.-54, 8.
Against whom do we sport yourselves?
against whom make We wide mouth, and
draw out the tongue? are We not children
of transgression, seed of falsehood, en-
flaming yourselves with idols under every
green tree, Staying the children in the VAL
leys under the cliffs of rocks?-58, 4-5.
Behold, have given him as witness to
the people. a leader and commander to the
people. Behold, thou shalt call nation
that thou knowest not, and nations that
knew not thee shall run unto thee because
of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One
of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.-55, As.
He is despsed and subjected of men; a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him {;
he was despsed, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs. and car
ried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But
he was wounded for our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquities: the chastise-
ment of our peace was upon him; and with
his stripes We are healed.-53, 3-5.

"Long-Winded" Eruptions.

loves neutrality-suspicious.. But, there are
few things that we must draw the line on.
You know, there are a good many diff

some of them are real ''curious." Now
and then we get about thirty seven pages
from one of these 'curiosities," and it is
impossible for US to use it. Wecannot and

from different parts of the parish and have
gently laid them away in the waste basket
to rise no more. The reason we do not
publish them is because they contain alb
solutely nothing that would be helpful to
our intelligent list of fifteen hundred
healthy, robust and Industrious readers.

One by one, the men and women who
raised the school system of Louisiana up to
point of efficiency such that Aswell could
take hold, make show, and claim all the
credit, are passing away. Prof. j. V.
Calhoun is the latest to lay down his bur-
den. Perhaps more real progress was made
under his administration than under any
other since the war, except that of Warren
Easton. Builders work which is least Wis
ible and most important is that done in
devising the plan, gathering in the ma
terial, and laying the foundation. Setting
up the framework after this is easy and
snowy. This is the kind that was done
under Aswel; the other was done under
Easton and Calhoun.-1Morgan City Out
look;
During Mr.. Aswell's boastful and snowy
administration as Superintendent of Edu-
cation, his advocates, especially certain
newspaper correspondents, not only indi-
rectly claimed everything" in educational
advancement-past, present and future
for Mr.. Aswell, but all of his predecessors,
by unjust inference, were discredited that
he should be exalted. An able bodied
Baton Rouge correspondent said Mr.. AS
well "found the superintendent office a
den Of cobwebs,' or words to that effect.
Not one of Mr.. Aswell's predecessors would
have remained silent had one of their
predecessors been thus most gratuitously
misrepresented. Great were the sloppy
and nauseating encomiums heaped upon
the vociferously proclaimed only really
great educator in the State, while he was
adroitly building his fences with an eye al
most solely to his future political prefer
ment. Truly, 'there was glory enough for
all;'' but Mr.. Aswell's ardent advocates
would not have it so. Not openly, mind
you, but by insinuation, we're we to under
stand that the Democratic party and the
Democratic voters of Louisiana had been
guilty in the past Of nominating and elect
ing Misrepresentation Robert NJ. Lusher
to Joseph V. Calhoun-all as worthy and as
we'll qualified as Mr.. Aswell, although they
were not forward in "telling the newspa-
pers" of their great worth and ability.

THE SEVENTEENTH OF MARCH.

St. Patrick lived about 400 years ago,
but his memory is green in the heart of
every Irishman. He was the patron saint
of Ireland. He was sent to that country
as captive, but making his escape devot-
ed himself to the conversion of the people.
The 18th of March has long been and will
be while time lasts, great day in the CAL
endar for the sons of the Emerald Isle. 1t
is the holiday which has attracted the SYM
pathy and cooperation of myriads of men
and women who have not Irish blood in
their veins, but who admire the warm
heartedness, the jolty, the devotion and
the patriotism of race which is more
numerous now in other lands than in its
native island. A Saint Patrick's Day pa
rade is joy not only to those who wear
the green and march to music, but to the
larger number who line the streets in the
large cities and watch the most expressive
procession of the year. New Orleans will
have a big parade next Wednesday and
the city of New York announces "a bigger
and greater and grander than ever plan fol
the proper celebration of Saint Patrick's
Day this year." And happy is the man
who, Of whatever race or condition, is
permitted to join in the festivities in honor
of the occasion.

Newton Record: Not very many of the
men in Mississippi are in favor of woman
suffrage-not because they consider the
women incapable of exercising the rights
OF suffrage, or that they wish to deny them
any rights whatever, but they do not be-
lieve it will be of any benefit to the State
or nation, and besides they do not believe
that any great number of women want it,
at least in this State. There certainly is
no evidence that any great portion of them
wish to get out and mix up in politics. It
is distasteful to many men, much less to
the more refined feminine sex. All the
congressman of this State voted against
universal suffrage when it was before Con-
gress recently.

 The instructions to that effect were received by Commissioner Thomas last Tuesday morning. Commissioner Thomas called meeting of the liquor dealers of the town at the court house last Tuesday afternoon at which time he read to them the ruling of Judge Jennings which in part is as follows:
 There shall be special elect ion held in each city where liquor licenses are issued, on the 24tll day ot Nav.

And on the 24th day of May every one shall go and cast their vote for or against the liquor traffic.
