1t is a cause Of cougratulation and


confidence to me that In the course I


thus propose to myself, shall have tho
counsel and aid Of q General Assembly
which will compare favorably with any
Of Its predecessors In the history OF the
State. The citizens are justified by the
previous records Of the gentlemen COM
posing this important department of
our State government, by their known
and we'll established regulations for
moral worth, intellectual ability, con-
servative views, experience in public
affairs, and thorough Identification with
every interest Of our State, in looking
reform Of the many evils which .opprsss
our people and State, and for which
there is no other efficient corrective but
wisc, honest and just legislation.
With these pledges, and with the aid
! of Divine Providence, and your kindly
countenanco and co-operation, trust
] to make somo return for tho generous
| confidence which you have manifested
in me. Whethcr succeed in this or

citizens Of this State and city the pro-
found gratitude with which my heart
and memory aro filed to oVerflowing
for their unnumbcrcd kindncsses, their
largo charity, their unbountled good
will.


Such tokens Of popular favor are far
higher incentives and reward to the
honest and patriotic official, than nll

lumcnts of Office.


Trusting that l may never, by any
act or omission, forfeit tho regard ami
confidence OF tho good people of Louis

and honest purpose to enter upon the
practical duties Of Chief Executive of
tho State of Louisiana.

TAKE courage-'tis a little cloud
Il That soon will pass away;
The hearts that now with grief are bowe
May only grieve to-day.
Tomorrow, up the azure height,


The sun may dart his beam,
And then one joyous burst of light
O'er mount and vale shall stream.
When thwarted plans and baff1ed hopes
Become our only store,
And the crushed spirit barely copes
With ills unknown before
Despond not yet the tide will turn
The gales propitious play;
Take courage-'tis a little cloud


That soon will pass away.
When doubts eclipse the ray of Joy,
And fears their shadows cast;
When rugged seems the way to bliss,
And foes come crowding fast
Faint not; a mightier power than thine
Is pledged these foes to slay;
Light shall at last around thee shine
The cloud shall pass away.

Arriving at Hornas there was no guide to take
us on to Corajo, and there was prospect Of being
detained on that account perhaps, ten or fifteen
days. The next morning messenger was sent
back to Cebolla Blanca to try and get guide
there. On the way the important person sought
for was met and brought back to camp in triumph.
he gave us fresh news OF the whereabouts OF Ces-
pedes saying that the President was


IN PARAGUAY, AND NOT IN YARAYAGUAs.
That did not matter much to us, both places being
in the sub-dstrict OF Zarza, whittier we were
bound. The day after finding our new guide we
continued the march from Hormas, descending
from the mountains and passing the rivers Guisa
and Bayamo, the former within four leagues OF the
town OF that name. We passed some pieces OF
lovely scenery in the interesting foot hill country
Of this district. We saw many rich spots, where
the rich isancias OF other days lay mouldering in
charred ruins. The midday hour and siesta were
passed in Corajo We halted for the night In the
woods, near place called Cayito


Resuming our march from Cayito we came across
a newly planted Cuban Gordon, detached post in
the woods. 1t consisted OF two men, whose duty
It was to perform the services OF courers and
guides. They told us 1t was about


TWELVE LEAGUES TO THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT,
and that we could get there tomorrow. The
rascals lied, though perhaps they did not know 1t.
Here our guides relieved each other. The new one
took us to q nearby sugar cane field, where the
men ate to their entire satisfaction. The new
guide broke the cane and squeezed the juice fle,ce)
out OF into a cocoanut cup, from which drank
heartily. At this part Of journey we were near
the Spanish fort OF FL Dati, and hence mad to con-
tinue the route with great caution.


SPANISH COW TRAP.


Going through the grounds OF a ruined istancia,
just after fording the Bayamo River, we came
across cable trap, or snare, artfully and newly
set, in trail, so as to catch the first cow that
might pass. 1t was the Spaniards, who could not
be far or, that had adopted this means OF supply

SINGULAR PHENoMENA.-There was recent
" found, says the Inyo lrdependent, quoted
by the San Francisco ErdmIneT, q pair OF field
glasses In the desert, near what is known as
the Death Valley. The glasses are supposed
to have belonged to Hahn, q lost guide of
Wheeler's exploring expedition. They were
brought into one OF the interior towns by an
Indian and were purchased from him. The
most singular fact connected with them Is that
every object within range of where the glass
Us have been lying for year or more is dis
T. uctly photographed upon them. We have
he.Td OF such phenomena before, but this is
one Of the most remarkable instances we re-
memEer. Both object glasses are covered with
perfect and most beautiful photographs or
etchings Of desert shrubs, stems, branches,
le4f-stalke. Leaves and leaflets are as distinct
ly marked as if laid on by master hand
There Is no mixture or confusion of one plant
with another, each having clear border of
unmarked glass, rendering itprObable that the
sun or lightning photograph, or whatever it
may be, was received through the eyeglass.-
These pictures seem 20 occupy position
about the centre Of each Of the Object-glasses
but little nearer the plane than the convex

There is French legend connected
with this preparation. During the plague
at Marsieles, a band of robbers plundered
the dying and dead without injury to
themselves. They were imprisoned, tried
and condemned to die, but were pardoned
on condition of disclosing the secret
whereby they could ransack houses in
fectcd with the terrible scourge. They
gave the above recipe.

IMPROVEMENT OF RANCID BUTTER
According TO Land and Water, rancid
butter can be greatly improved inquality
by washing it thoroughly in lime water,
and then clearing out the lime water by
n good washing in cold spring water


The lime water is easily made, by allow
ing lump the size of the fist to slake in
n bucket of water, stirring it well, after
ward allowing the lime to settle. 1t is

England by sundry persons, who pur-

Among the many speeches made in the United States Congress, MT. Crocker, of Massachusetts, amid much laughter and applause described the un- certainty of his mind after the adjourn ment of last Congress as to what he should do with the back pay which he had received, after voting against the bill. He said he was in the category of those who had taken the back pay. He had collected it all according to law, every cent. He did not like to be slow in returning it. He had tried to get some company in that action but failed. He had, however, found some noble men who had made up their minds to give the back pay to schools. He had finally deposited it in one of his banks, thinking it would lie there safely enough. After that he had become grievously sick. He had not made up mind as to what his conscientious duty in the matter was, so being very sick he called his confidential clerk and said to him, Here, put that to the credit of the United States. It is small matter, but there will be enough effects left to pay for it." He had done that because he intended to do right about the mat

About one o'clock yesterday morning
as a train drawn by engine 225 was
coming out Of the cut west OF Doe Gully
tuppel, on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, it passed over a man lying on
his face on the track. The train was
stonped as soon as possible, and the
tra;n men went back and stopped
another train following them, when the
men from both trains went to the spot
and examined the body. 1t was horrl-
Div msugled and the head severed from
the trunk, but was recognized as that
of BENJAMIN McAtee. watchman at the
tunnel. The body was quite cold, and
but little blood flowed from the ghastly
wounds made by the car wheels. The
head az we said was severed from the
body but was not mashed By the wheels
over the left eye was an ugly cut and
bruise, apparently inflicted by a club
or similar weapon. These facts have
led to the suspicion that the unfortunate
man was murd cred and placed upon
the track to be run over by the cars.


McAtee was about fifty years OF age
and leaves large family. He had been
in the employ Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company for twenty
five years, though he had held the
posit,on Of watchman at Doe Gully tun-
lei but two or three days, and had re-
moved his family from Little Cscspon
to Doe Gully station only the day pre-,
yious to his tragic death.-Oem6srIa"d
