rhe Opelousas Railroad Com
pany Election.
The election on the 27th of directors of
ihis compamny, usually one of much monot
,nv, wai enlivened by a raid into the
lmiect en .In-urA Iby that very popular per
son kmnwn na the Governor of Louisiana,
who. not ismntent with the patronage given
him bi the co,-titution, and by the law
pased at the lest session of the L~egiala
ture, thought to ',rvern the selection of
directors of this company also.
It will be recollected that by an act
passed in 1867, just as the session ended,
the right of Ilhe State and of the city to
vote for directors of this and the Jnekaon
Road, wiach was then thought a doubtful
one, wa relinqsiahed. The bill was not
signed by Gov. Wells, but was sub)eqent
ly approved, by one of his militarily ap
poInted successors, whoe power to do thi'.
has been sustained by judicial authority.
Gov. Warmoth, it seems, regards this
act as not binding on him, and undertook
to vote yesterday, notwithatead its provi
dons, and proceeded to the vote of the
State for 26,000 shares of atock for the
following gentlemen. most of whom had
not previously been interested in a single
share of stock, but who, as we are told,
were the da7 before invested each witl,
one of its present very valuable and high
priced certilieatee of ownership, that they
might be qualified Bth the post.
The following are the gentlemen for
whom the Governor offered to cast his
vote:
James Graham, 8. B. Packard,
Robert Watson, A. E. Barbour,
J. R. Robertson, P. D. Pr.att,
A. B. Long, B. W. Francis,
8. T. Delasise, D. W. F. Bisbe,
M. A. Southworth, Johla F. Deane,
J. . Noy. , J. B. O e~lsby,
Gen. 8. Cleveland, W. L. MeMillan,
J. J. Williamsna, A. D. Grief,
The commtmssoners nrfused to accept the
vote tendered as a va3 one under th
law, but received it umlor a protest against
its being counted, and the Warmoth
spread its wings and flew away, to seek
the aid of that discreetly selected judieiary
to enable it to enter more safely into the
the sacred enclosure.
But the example of the Radical insect
was not usnotleed by another Executive
functionary whose jurisdiction is not so
eatenaive, or his power of appointment so
well sustained; bet whose n ht to vote is
quite as good as that of ;he Governor, and
a trifle heavier. The Mayor of the city
acticinv the circeumyrationa of the War
moth ahso went to the place of voting, and
offered his vote on 60.000 share., and
though this was rejected on the same
gvomsnd, bet reeeive. under protest, ii
ties, in any event, the elect.ien of the
following ticket. the one previously voted
for bftoe stock holders :
A. B. Segar, Ales. Mouton,
Henry Reshnaw, 8. O. Belson,
L Folger, A. MUcC.,lln,
Robt. Hlaru, G. A. Ikeaex,
F. W. Tilton, Sam'l Smith,
G. W. Hyeion, A. Bower.
I. N. Marks, W. 8. Pike,
C. H. Slocomb R. Geddes.

'A gentleman from Swampville was
telling how many daftfrent oupations he
had attempted. Among others he tried
school teaching.
"How long did you teach I" asked a
bystander.
'"Wai. I didn't teach long, that is, I on
ly went to teach."
'"Dii, you hire oat?"
"Wal, I didn't hire out, I only went to
hire out."
"Why did you give it up f"
"Wal, I giv it up for some reason or
nnther. You see I traveled into a dee
strict, and inquired for the trustees. Some
body said Mr. Snicklnes w.s the man I
wanted to see. So I found Mr. Suickls
--named toy ohijic, interducing myself.
and asked what he thought abut lettin'
toe try my luck with the with big bovs
and unruly gals in the d.-estrict. HIE
wanted to know if I r-sly considered mr
self captble; I told him I wouldn't mind
his asking me a f-w easy questions in
'rithmetic an jtoraphy, or showing my
hand writing. He said no, never mind,
he could tell a good teachler by his gait.
'Let me see you walk off a little ways,'
says he, 'and I cin tell jis's well's if 1
heard you examined,' says he. He sot in
the door as he spoke, and I thought he
looked a little skittish ; but I was consi'l'r
able frustrated, and didn't mind much; so
I turned about, and walked on as smart a'
I koow'd how. He said he'd tell me when
to stop, so I kept on till I thought I'd
gone far enough: then I s'pected s'thing
was to pay. and looked round. Wal, the
door was shot, and Snickles was gone I"
"Did you go back "
"Wal, no-I didn't go back."
"Did you apply for another school !"
"Wall, no-I didn't apply for another
school." said the gentleman from Swamp
ville, "[ rather judge my appearance was
sg'n me."
Axscoors OF CosLn.-There is a
good joke told about Colfas, when he and
the Hom. Mr Fitch were opposinz candi
dates for Congress in Indiana. Fitch had
a ltter from a prominent citiszm of the
distriek which reflected verb s-yerely iup
on "Skyler" in several pattieular4, which
during the joint diacussion between the-t,
he was in the habit of reading. CoW!az,
of course, h..J no rcp'y that be could pu.
in, so he tried to "grin and bear it." How
ever, Mr. Fitch imaginae that CO,!i.rx wa
I very anxions to get possession of the latter.
whereupon he hid it exactly oupi.--l, and
I on the next day of di:cu+sion purposely
placed the copy in the way of Mr. Culf4x,
-who, very naturally, gobbled it up. On
I the subsequent day, when they met, Mr.
Fitch incidentally referred to "the letter
he had in his po~session," etc., whereupon
Colfax sprang to his feet and branded the
statement as a e*lamny that he would no
I longer eu·are, and def .-d him to show
himn the letter. Turning upon him, Fitch
said : "Is that what you watt, you little
rascal I You think that you stole that let
ter from me yesterday, but yo.: did not;
it was only a copy. Here is the original.
And now, Mr Colfax, I would propose to
treat you as a fond mamma does a refrac
tory boy, were it not that you show the
seat of your punishment for the purpose of
excititg sympathy." Colfas never denidr
the letter afterward.
RE.'DY vFO SMALL-OX.--A
correspondent of the Stockton,
(Cal.) Herald, writes as follows:
I herewith append a recipe,
which has been used to my
knowledge ia. hundreds of cases.
It will prevent or eure the small
pox though the pittings are fill
ing. When Jenner discovered
cow- pox in England, the world
of science hurled an avalanche of
fame upon his head, but when
the most scientific school of
medicine in the world-that cf
Paris-published this recipe as a
papeceaifor small-pox, it pasesd
auheeded It is as efailjpg as

For a child, smaller doses, ac
cording to age. If counties would
compel their physicians to use
this there would be no need of
post-houses. If you value advice
and experience, use this for that
terrible disease.
At a recent exhibition in a
girls' school the question was put
to a class of little one : "Who
makes the laws of our Govern
ment ?" "Congress," was the
ready reply. "How is Congre.is
divided ?" was the next question.
But the little girl to whom it
was put failed to answer it. An
other little girl in the class raised
up her hand, indi1ipglt she
could answer it. "Well, isaid the
examiner, "Miss Salliv, hat do
you say the division is?" In
stantly, with an air~4 confidence
as well as triumph;.the answer
came. "Civilized, half civilized
and savage."
