in our own ranks, the time honoured
jilid invinceble Democracy, llie glorious
Democracy of St. Landry, lias met tiie
foe and won a victory that wil; >jive lii-r
a L'ommaudiiijf voice in the fulme
councils of the party in tlii-i State. The
liody, soul and spirit of Radicalism, in
this l'iirish, dies with the «lnjjiMc'-tti I
and signal defeat of its irren t lea.lei.
and with ir, is buried, polie,il iiimijrivl
ism in all the various forms it has n>
sinned in St. Landry. .Let. all ihr
people, irreal and small rej.dcc! And
let tlie colored element, tlie dupes of
selfish office seekers, who have followed
their bail "like dumb driven cat lie"
learn this lesson;that they cannot con
trol the distinies of this State or palish
bv leajrileinfï themselves toother in
solid plnlaux under such leadeis as
they have followed heie.

The howl of the defeated Ridicals
«ml Judependenta over the conduct of
the election i«t the Washiugtou poll is
simply ridiculous.
The impediittent. to voters, if any there
was, was caused h.v the fact that the
negroes, massing themselves in solid !
^ ' 1
columns at an early hour, blocked up
all tiie approaches to the ballot box and
held the ground until near 3 o'clock P.
M., when the commiksiouers began to
allow alternate voting.
The Radicals are so accustomed to
practice hand, violence, intimidation, j
aud ballot box stuffing, that they are j
. . 1
over ready to charge these things agaius j
their opponents whenever ihey are
beaten. One of the commissioners, and ,
the clerk at that poll, were appointed at
the suggestion and request of Elbert
Gantt, defeated candidate for the Police
Jury, and the leader of the Radicals at
Washington.
B »til these gentlemen, publicly de
clare, that the election was conducted
fairly and in strict accordance with the
law.
The Radicals have lost their strong
bold, the head quarters of Anderson's
Urst lieiUcuiwt and chief wirepuller,
E. Qantt, and their abuse of tlie officers
of the election, is simply a howl over
the fall of their great leader.
We call attention to the Concert anil
Supper to be given by Mrs. J. 4. Morgan,
assisted by her scholars on the night ol
the SIst of this month. Ttie admittance
is otih 35 cents. A dance will close the
entertainment. There will be a large
crowd and we guarantee every one will
be delighted and pleased. If one-lndl
of the friends.of Mrs. Morgan are in at«
tendance, which will certainly be the
case we ;>re afraid " otaudiug rooai " will
be scarce.

Wc are authorized by sheutt Duson to |
announce to the public that their wi I
la* no Court on Motlday, owing to the
District Judge aud District Attorney
being unable to pass the quarantines
and get here in time. A special tenn
will be held, of which the public will
have due notice.
All true Democrats are called npo n
to meet at the Court House to-night, in
honor of the great victory aeheived.
Music and speeches will be the order
of the night. The Ladies are specially
invited.

Traits of J£o«si;:i>or i>upanloup
[ s'ew V<" k Sun I
The career of the late Hishop of Or
i leans as a |ilel:.te, colltrovel'sirtlist,
S> ii tor and aca Ifiiiieian has been amply
reviewed tor tlie |»iiolte duriiiir tin* few
davs ihat have elapseil since his death.
; His characteristics as a man are less
I widelv known, yet few conspicnons in
■ i ! i \ it I na 1 s of our time have a more inter
! esiiuir personality.
Monsifjnor Dupanloiip never knew
whether he had any money, or, if he
! had. how much. Once he was asked to
! conti ilmtc to a charitable inxlilution,
i and probnblv pledged hiin-elf to irive
t wein.v-tive t hoiis.ind francs. The treas
urer came In see il th H reported pr«*mi>e
wa- all riirlit, and Dupanloiip ott' ied
i t! iin the money on the spot. The treas
I mer excused himself from tukintr if
! then, u.s,!ih was coin# into society with
I ont lefiirniiivr to his office, and itroni
ised to i-oine iijrain. Next <1 iv he w*|"*

He was to preach in Pans, and wmt
to rile station for the train. He was a

lectfu! j hiatoinl vvasphiin,iMiupartaken
(ioinV' good, sinnuiiirly attract the lik
f moderately. He is eahl to have
li liitunlly rehired wine, though that,
id he sure, was due not not to frugality
but. to his full liai «it, which did not
make fermented liquors prudent for
liitn. Will» Iii« (lisposition ami alms
money affairs hail little to do. But it
often happens, apparently, that church
dignitaries who have this lofty super
Mi it.v to lucre except as an appliance for
! ings of men who knew f!,e^ "leaning of
1 money, anil how hard it often is to get.
All persons weie open to Dupanloiip.
Tlie Peter's pence that- he collected
outdid thai of other prelate*. The very
facility with which hje gathered money
seduced hint, doubtless, from lingeijng
long enough over it to acquire an appre
ciative estimate of if, Once he needed
j thirty tho'i^aml francs. He wrote to
j variouft h^iiie-ss nien and rich nien Hmt
1 his word was given to get it. n hen
j HI1( | drafts came in, in response,
these amounted together to seventy-five
, thousand francs. So he had to assemble
the generous givers and get them to
arrange some way of fnkttig back their
surplus forty-five thousand.
Another traitnf Dupaiiloup, bts bearty
enthusiasm in espousing a cause, is
well illustrated by bis unsuccessful ef
forts to have Joan of Arc cmo iized.
His combativeness sfuvffei! itself in
long campaigns against French pos ; -
tivists; his iiide|iend<-iice in his fight
usraiiist the enunciation of papal iti
f ililiility; his loyal chiirclnnanship in
yielding to the dogma i his p.u triotism
in his support'of France in the war of
l>j70; his philanthropy in his treatment
of German wounded and prisoners. Hi«
quickness and hapt>v art of managing
were shown at a collection he once took
up in his eafhedral, after a sermon on
almsgiving. He was seized with a fancy
or inspiration to gather the alms him
self, and, of course, the gift* p.itired in
freely. Bnt lie came In his course '«»
one ladv who, blushing scarlet, heirgod
to "■><• excused for having aecidentai'v
brought no money with her. " No
money !''echoed the Tîishon. "Oh, if
that is all, I. too, have forgotten my
nurse; but all we need to know is h'» w
to iret on without one," A"d, so saying,
he took the precious bishop's cfoss that
hau» to his neck and flunj> it loti» the
box, which immediately,, with his ex
•m'ple, was ti l"d with chains, ritigs,
brooches, and bracelets. So, by- this
s'roke of readiness and fervor, th»
nishop Tathereil a v:|st sum for *he
po »r. The u»st day the geiitlenjet) of
Orleans red emed the episcopal cross
in money. The incident is historic; but
K.-inmiir. the German biographer of
Dup'tnlonn. who, besides the anecdotes
we have uiven, has many other curious
ones in Ids admiring sketch, is moved
to ask, " Didn'r he know that this cross
would be red«*emed Î Did he sacrifice
anything? Nothing." Done by some
men. it would, in truth, have been onlv
a b f of safe theatrical play ; but, coupled
with Dnpaiilonp's known careless _ of
wealth, the act deserves no such criti
cism. A truer comment, might be that
his parting with an object of pecuniary
value was never a test of th« Bishop's
charity, for it cost him so little pang to
let such a thing go. It, is quite certain
that when he threw the jewelled cross
into the heap he did not reckon up his
chances of having if hack.
The careful writer just referred tn, in
giving an account of Dupanloup's or
dinary day—the date being a little more
than a year ago—says that the Bishop
was wont to rise about 5 o'clock. After
his devotions, he studied or wrote till
toward midday, when ho breakfasted
with the priests of his household. The
afternoon was devoted to administra
tive affairs of I lis office, to correspondence
calls, ami so on. The dinner, at ?, was
followed by walks and talks in the
episcopal palace, or in the seminary
gardens when th«- weather favored, for
his failing «■vesiirht forbade evening
work at 1 books. But tlie advance of age
ili«l not seriously cool the Bishop's btood;
he was accustomed to study in winter
jtj an unhealed room, with the windows
opeu.
TTfnd Tension.
THE MENTAL DEAD-POIXT, AND HOW IT
IS EXPLAINED.
The London Lancet says:
It. is a common subject of marvel that
criminals in presence of immediate exe
cution are usually self-possessed, and
often exhibit singular composure. The
donim d creature sleeps through the
iiijfht before his violent death, and rises
composed to pass thfoupli the ordeal.
The exceptions to this rule are few, and
there i> no reason to suppose that the
individuals who display irreater emo
tion. or u ho are prostrated by theajron
izinjr prospect of death, feel their posi
tion niOie acutely than those who pre
serve control of their demeanor. It is
a prevalent but groundless error to sup
pose that the state of mind in which
tuost capital offenders meet their doom,
is one of scarce or paralyzing amaze
ment. They retain every faculty, taste,
consideration ami even fancy. They
frequently give tokens of especial
thoiighttiilness, ami are punctilious in
the observance of rules and the adop
tion of measures to minimize their own
pain, aud the trouble and sympathetic
■oufterinjr of those by whom they are
surrounded, or who will be left burdened
with their memories. Mentally and
physicallv the criminal, during the last
few hours of his iife, in the .immediate
presence of a cruel death, is self pos
sessed and tranquil. His pulse is evil,
less disturbed than those of the official.
w ho are compel led to take "put in Ins
execution. Why is this? The answei
will be obvions on retl^-ci ion. The mint!
has reached what may be designated a
"«lead point" in ils tension. The ex
citement is over, the airony of antici
pation, the trembling doubt between
hope and fear of escape has exhausted
the irritability of the mind, and rhei<
is, as were, a pause, all interval of pah
si v»' endurance between the end of tin
struggle for life, and I lie bitterness <s,
remorse ami agony id' disappoint m
w Inch may begin at death. In tins in
terval the ni inil is released front tin
tension of its eft'n t for self-pi enerva
tion, and almoM rebounds with tie
sense of relief that, conn-s with certain
tv, even though the assurance b- rha
of impeiidiugdeath. lu the pause th.-r
is time and opportunity for the recoy

What is a Bat !
[St. <ieorge Mivart, in Popular Science Monthly |
All who have ever examined a
bat closely, and observed its fur, eai>
and teeth, must, I think, have rccog- '
, . , 1*1 A a I , T , 1
mzed it a.s a kind ot beast. Its real
affinities, however, serveexcellently well
to demonstrate How little mere external
aspect can be trusted as a guide to fun
damental relationship. The bat is es
sentially an animal id' the air—all its
»structure is modified for fight, iuid it
rarely descends to the surface of the
gtoitijd; The mole, ou the contrary, is
essentially an annua! öf *1î" earth—all
its structure is modified for burrowing,
and it rarely ascends to the surface of
the ground. The contrast could hardly
lie more complete, and y«'t the bat and
the mole are cousins—the mole, the
hedgehog, arid the shrewinouse belong
ing to a group of beasts with which the
bats show no inconsiderable affinity.
I have spoken of the opinion that the
bat is a kiml of bird. This view seems
to have been entertained by the Jews,
and the " bird of darkn-ss"' 1s placed
iu Deuteronomy xiv„ 18, among the
unclean ones forbidden as food :
"And the stork and the heron after
her kitpl, and the lapwing and the bat."
Aristotle, though lie placed the bat
among flying animals, and theiefore
among birds, distinctly recognized the
differences in their Organization ; and
the same thing may he affirmed of Pliny.
But in spite of this, and although Alber
tus Magnus,-in the middle Ages, was
fully acquainted with the true nature of
bats as heats as well as with their Win
der torpidity, we find latter «in, retro
gresssion of opinion.
