BATON ROUGE, June 2i, 1872, 9P.M.
Closing, a series of notwithstanding
now ensues. One resolution protests against
the employment of penitentiary birds on
plantations; another calls for the removal
of the capital to Baton Rouge; third regu-
lated the appointment of an executive
cOmmittee-four from each congressional
district. The resolutions were adopted.
w. P. Kellogg makes a speech for the
first time in three days. The convention is.
something else beside bedlam. Even now
there are frequent Interruptions. Kellogg
says; l am grateful to you all, and especially
to glorious old North Louisiana. 1t is to the
country that l owe my nomination. He
replied to an article in the Times, charging
him with intending to resign the post Of
Governor that a negro might fill his place.
He said he would serve TO the end of his
term if he were alive and elected. AS
Senator no man could say that he failed in
doing his duty.


Such were all the points of his speech,
the rest containing the usual bunoombe.
That journalist who charged him with
Africanizing the State is an enemy to the
people, to the country and to the State. He
hit the table with his closed fist and found
which was the hardest when he said this.
The cOlOred men nominated for Congress
would compare fav0rably with Democrats
previously elected. He kept on this line
for a long time, all the colored voters com
ing in for puffery. Touching party poll
tics, he made stump speech, going on in
the usual style until he raised to the bene.

We referred recently to the greatly increased
consumption copper for tho manufacture of metallic
cartridges and the diminished product Of some OF the
great districts OF the worldcfins espe
ciaIly and OF Great Britain. The de-
crease in Chill is attributed partly to the low prices
which had ruled long time, partly TO the exhaustion
of some Of tho leading mines and partly to the diver
sion OF labor to recently discovered silver mnes and


to the construction Of railways for which large contracts
have been made. The higher price Of copper will no
doubt stimulate larger production, but some time must
elapse supply increases enough to have any
material effect the market Taking this into account
good authorities estimate the production OF the chill


mines in 1872 tuns OF fine copper, which would be
an increase OF about 1871 The advance in
price may more speedily affect the production OF Corn
wall but the closing OF many mines the emigration OF
miners and the competition OF the tin mines for the

many mines which have been idle for years, and to sm

mining which will not soon be forgotten and 1t may be
safely assumed that our progress in that direction will
be more substantial and more profitable than

There is only one case in which you can be at

WHY We LIKE THEM wonder what it is
in people that makes us like them. There
must be certain amount of common infOrma-
ton as basis for congeniality but surely it is
not quantity, in any sense: not is with a
friend as it is with an author we are won by a
certain quality, and mere quantity and mere
faculty go for nothing except as they give
proof of the quality. There are books you can
read by the hour, with instruction and even
entertainment, and yet neither for the frowsy
cover, nor the blurred page, nor any of the
accidental outward belongings have you bit OF
that attachment which in the case of books as
of people, betokens an affection for the inner
most part. And there are plenty Of men and
women of whom you thoroughly approve, who
really inform and amuse you, with whom
indeed, if circumstances conspire, you can
become reasonably intimate, and whom you
never think OF in the way of earnest friendship.
But, bless me, haven't the poets been singing
all this since the beginning of days!-Only they
have another word for friendship. = Scribner' s

The most romantic of all numbers is figure
9, because it cant be multiplied away or got
rid of anyhow. Whatever you do, it is as sure
to turn up again as was the body of Eugene
Aram's victim. One remarkable property of
this figure (said to have been first discovered
by w. Green who died in l794) is that all
through the multiplication table the product of
nine comes to nine. Multiply by what you
like, and it gives the same result. Begin with
twice nine, IS; add the digits together, and l
and make g. Three times nine arc u and
and make 9. So it goes on, up to eleven
times nine, which gives SO. Very good add
the digits: 9 and are Is, and 8 and arc g..
Going on to any extent, it is impossible to get
rid of figure 9. Take couple Of instances at
random. Three hundred and thirty niue times
nine are 305l add up the figures and they give
nine Five thousand and seventy-One times
nine are 45639; the sum of these digits is 27
and . and are Q.


NJ de Maivan found out another queer thing
about this number-namrly, that if you take
any row of figures, and reversing their order
make a subtraction sum OF it, the total is SURF
to be nine For example

GREAT MEN Amongst the worst atfecta |

desplslng the ordinary cOurtesles OF life. Great |
men are always courteous men with them
Doors forget their bOorishness; and rise out OF
their habitual mire into something like the
cleanliness of decency. For ru leness is akin
to dirt it is dirt on the mind


Another characteristic Of the men we mean


is their appreciation of the finer evidences OF
feeling; to them we can express more in a
movement than to others in volume. Our
true want in life" says modern philosopher
is some one who will make us do what We
can." Great men supply the want by
bringing out that which we know to be
the best that is in us. Their very presence is
rest to the weary and peace to the
troubled They shed happiness around them,


but though loved by the many, they are only
appreciated by the few. The blended passion
and understanding that constitutes in its es-


sence, worship, is not gift bestowed on all;
| it can only be brought into existence by the


men who use their greatness in their daily life,


and do not keep it as ''too bright and good for


human natures daily FOOD"


| Our great man shows respect to others in


such a way as implies an equally habitual and


sure reliance on their respect to himself" He


trusts to what he is for asserting what he


wishes to appear. He is modest-the modesty


of man who knows accurately what he is, his


powers and capabilities, who never attempts


anything which requires the gifts he may not


happen to possess, and if the gifts he has not


seem to him greater than those he has, he &C.


knowledges his inferiority and bows to their


superiority.
