tion.


Endowed with fine intellect and pro-
vided with o finished education, General
Augustin, as he was more familiarly
known, in early life embarked in the
legal profession, in which he soon dis
tinguished himself, and at one time
occupied the bench Of the Fifth District
Court. In this capacity he proved him





self to be possessed OF great judgment
and tact, and witbal Of such a lore of
legal knowledge that it was with the
greatest regret that the bar found him
disinclined, at the end OF bis term, to
submit his name for reelection. Judge
AugustiD had also, In his younger days,
occupied the position of sheriff of
the parish. which he also filled with
honor.


His death is great loss to our city.
He was one OF the representatives of
that class of our old Creole population,
to eulogize which words have ever been
found inadequate always ready to lend
his strong mind or his strong arm in the
support or defense Of his people, and
against whose character not word Of
disapprobation was ever murmured.
Sans peur et sans TeDrocte would be.a
fitting epitaph upon the marble slab
that is to conceal his manly form and
genial countenance from the gaze of
those who loved him in life and will
cherish his memory now that he has
gone to better world.


His funeral will take place this even
ing at 8 o'clock, from his late residence.
at the corner OF Esplanade and st.

We were somewhat surprised on
reading our article In the last weeks
issue on extracted honey to find that
after it had left our hands it changed
to strained honey, which was not a
freak of nature, but of obscure chi
Biography. 1t makes us appear rather
awkward, to say the least of it, in the
eyes of practical bee men. We are
aware that many persons regard the
word extracted and stra ned as synon-
amous terms, meaning the same
thing. This is great error, as the
two terms have separate meaning.
Extract as used in this connection
means thrown or drawn out by Gen.
trifngal force, while strained means
to filter. Extracted honey is thrown
out of the comb by machinery, and
does not come in contact with the bee
bread, or any other substance that
may be deposited in the comb, and
consequently the flavor is unsullied
and the honey perfectly pure.
Strained honey is com monty strained
or filtered through a cloth and is
brought in contact with the bee
bread and all other substances in the
comb, which destroys the flavor and
renders it an Indifferent quality. We
frequently notice in our Market re-
ports that the word strained is used
in place Of extracted. They mean two
separate and distinct kinds of honey.
We trust that grave errors of this
Kind will not again make their ap-
pearance in our column.

IT is but fair to assume that it is the sensa-
tional SANDER monger who has worked up
the reports to the discredit of Speaker Kerr
published elsewhere. 1t is fair TO do so be-
cause as public man he has acquired the
reputation of being one above the taking of
bribe and incapable of participating in any
corrupt transaction. A reputation of such
a character resulting from so long public
service is too dear 20 the possessor, and of too
much value in making up and maintaining
that public confidence so essential to the
welfare of the nation. True, Speaker Kerr
is Democrat, and during the war was an
Copperhead, and we cannot conceive the
contingency which would make us feel that
it was duty to support him. At present.
however, he holds the second office in i'm
portance in the nation. Because he holds
that high position, and because both parties
have had confidence in his character, we
trust that the reports are calumnies. We
are free to say that we believe they are-that
the party who got the money tor the COM
mission-the bookkeeping middleman-kept
1t and started the story. And in this
connection it may be proper to add that
the most contemplate, and at the same
time the most dangerous scoundrels in the
country are those who are laboring to shake
the confidence of the country in its con-
spicuous public men. They are public
enemies, and there should be some law under
which they can be punished.

They came at 10 a. m.-the baby,
his grandmother, his papa, and man.
ma, and two aunties. They wanted
to have his picture taken. The oblig-
ing artist got everything in readiness,
brought out the little velvet lined high
chair, In which babies are usually
photographed, and then the trouble
began. The baby's papa wanted to
take off its sack because 1t had such
pretty fat arms, but its mamma was
afraid it would take cold. Then one
auntic thought it would be so sweet
to take off his little stockings and sit
him In an arm chair, but the other
auntie thought that such a perform
ance would be very improper, and a
conflict seemed imminent.


Finally it was agreed that they
should take the artists advice and
strap him up in the high chair. After
much ringing OF bells the baby was
induced to look with favor on the
new state OF affairs. The artist pre-
pared to take the negative, but just at
the critical moment the infant doubled
himself across the strap and screamed
Justify. His papa jingled the bells
anew, the artist set the music box
going, while the mamma drew him
out Of the chair and his auntie called
him "putzy utzy title sing"


Peace being restored, another neg
ative was taken, this time with toler-
able success. But one auntie did
not like the expression Of the face,
and the mamma thought that ii did
not do justice to his eyes. The next
time he stuck both fists into his
mouth and shut one eye; and the
next time his grandma, who had been
watching intently, ran hastily forward
and began shaking him and slapping
him on the back.


1t was twelve o'clock and the ther-
mometer stood at ninety-eight de-
grees i'm the shade, and that artist
ground his teeth and looked to see
how far il was from the window to
the sidewalk. Three or four more
unsatisfactory attempts we're made,
and at last the baby, who had been
taken out OF the chair so many times
and was not properly secured, slipped
down on the floor with thump. A
grand hubbub followed; everybody
screamed; the timid auntie tainted
and the papa swore; while the tremb-
ling artist. fearing for his life, secreted
himself behind screen In the corner,
where he waited until he was sure no
bones were broken, and then he came
forth, saying he had been suddenly
called down stairs to see man.

told that they would not try again
