The young man who runs through life on this rule, neglect ing the culture of his mind and the cul tivation of friends, foregoing all innocent pleasures for the sole purpose of accumulating money which others will spend, is not an agreeable person to know. Such a man will be always handling the muck rake, and Jiaving his eyes so closely on the gutters looking for lost pocketbooks that he will know nothing of the bright puns and beauti ful rainbows, and nothing of singing birds and the laughter of happy people.

Ten years later when the last batch, of bread in the colony was in Governor Bradford's oven and starvation was staring our New England ancestors in the face, good ship from Ireland appeared with provisions, and the day appointed for fast- ing was changed into a day of thanksgiving. Here is reason for New England sympathy with the oppressed Irishmen of to-day, and here is a reason why what was once only a feast day in New England is now a national thanksgiving day, appointed by the president. God bless old Ireland!

The existence of this faith is one of the gunee" of the stability of free institutions in this country and is one 4anja of thankfulness which should be remembered to-day. It is a doctrine of the saored bonptures ana or that nations as well as in dividuals are rewarded and punished according to their deeds, However m.n m.viifrwMta the source of re sponsibility, it is a fact attested by all human experience that virtuous living is the essential condition of well being. The nation that forgets God and disre gards the moral law is on its way eitner to anarchy or to despotism. eucn nf societv as the nihilists, an archists and socialists declare that re ligion is a barrier which must bere- mnvMl hMfrtr thT can 1UOT6 onWSld to the complete conquest of the world.

and their judgment in tnat respect is unquestionably sound. Some years ago the famous Russian Nihilist Bakomne made an address at Geneva, in which he unfolded the whole nrmrramme of his Deculiar soliooL He had come, he said, to announce a new gospel, one which, was to be preacnea to the ends of the earth, and which was incompatible with half-way measures. It began with a war to toe aeatn against all the long established social lies of the world, The first of these lies, he said. was God; the second lie was tne tiction of Right. There was no God but force.

and no Right but might. The sooneryou understand, lie continued, that you are mere agglomerations of material particles brought together by gravity and other attractive forces, the sooner will you be free, and only thus can you do free. Get nd of the ideas of God and of Right, and all the substructions of the existing social order, the state, tne church, the family, science, will disappear. What a Bublime ideal a society without faith, without law, without domestic ties, and even without scienee How different from a Christian civilization with its clean firesides and holy altars, its dictates of honor and its impulses of pure love. Scientists may demonstrate if they can the descent of the human body from lower species, but true statesmanship will strive to cherish faith in the immortality of the sonl and accountability to a personal and omnipotent law giver.

A review of the history of the year that is now drawing near its end suggests many reasons why Americans should be grateful to the divine ruler of men and nations. Our country is at peace with all the world, and, better still, it is in love with peace. No ambitious politician in this country would venture to propose a war of conquest by which our land might broaden its territory at the expense of weaker nationalities. We want nothing but our own, and we submit our international differences to the decisions of reason and justice in preference to the cruel arbitrament of the sword, in the next place, the law is supreme in these United States, and its yoke is easy because the people themselves have made it. Desperate adventurers and fanatics find no fit audience here for their wild and subversive doctrines.

Institutions established long ago by the wisdom and courage of our forefathers are not to be destroyed by the torch and the bomb, for they are secured by the love and veneration of the millions who have grown up under their benign and enlightening influence. To the peace and order which have prevailed in the land we must add the blessings of general health and. industrial prosperity. No devastating pest ilence has reached our shores from the infected ports of other continents. Death, indeed, has visited many happy homes, but no great community has been desolated by the ravages of a terrible and lingering epidemic We, in Louisiana, have special oause for thank fulness on this account.

For nine years we have been free from that fell disease which at one time was a source of continual apprehension. Prudence, vigilance, scientifio progress, under God, have given us an immunity from that old terror, and this beautiful city of New Orleans has gained tenfold in at tractiveness. Meanwhile, that com mercial depression which for some years afflicted our own in common with all civilized countries has been very gen erally dispelled, the clouds have been broken and scattered and the prospect grows, bright and inviting. The neces sities and luxuries of life are produced in abundance, the purchasing power of money has increased and the prices of labor have been well maintained. Here and there we find indications of discontent and unrest; but as a rule our people are procuring the enjoyments of life by honest toll and, upon the whole, we believe that they are the happiest people in the world.

Let us then with becoming humility and gratitude acknowledge the boun teous goodness of Providence and en deavor to conform our national life yet more strictly to His wise and beneH cent will. THE THIBODAUX HIOT. All reports from Thibodaux agree in the statement that in the riot which occurred there yesterday morning the negroes were the aggressors. The affair was only one of a series of dastardly outrages. For some time past roving band of negroes have been making murderous attacks upon laborers em ployed about the sugar-houses in the vicinity at night, and have escaped un der cover of darkness.

In these circum stances 'troops were of no avail. When informed that the laborers at any place had been fired npon the night before they have found it useless to repair to the scene of the attack, because the assassins had in the meantime dispersed. Negroes peaceably disposed and willing to work have been terrorized and kept in a condition of enforced idleness. Those who have refused to work have been evicted from their quarters on the plantations and have repaired to the towns in great numbers. lor weeks past they have crowded the streets of Houma.

Thibodaux- and other towns. and there they have mingled with des perate outlaws of tneir own race who have been indastrjonsly fomenting strife and bloodshed. The presence of the soldiery in Thibodaux protected the town itself, and their withdrawal was followed by the bloody not which is reported in our news columns this morning. It seems mat the citizens received information of the intended attack on Tuesday, and consequently decided to picket the approaches to the town. The fight was DC gun dj some negroes, who fired from an ambush and wounded two of the picket guard on one of the roads at a very early hour yesterday morning.

The white people of Thibodaux saw that it ywaa rutnuaratA itrikedoWD the turbu lent and murderous element with a prompt and unsparing hand, and accordingly they moved 'in foroe upon the rioters and dealt with them in the summary fashion which our dispatches describe. The aennnnti which WO PUDllsnea are furnished by men whose word cannot be doubted. They portray a situation of great gravity and peril, and make the conclusion inevitable that its difficulties could not be solved by the nrncaiuea of civil We trust that the worst is over. The negroes should have learned by this time that when thev resort to violence they invite inevitable defeat and punishment. The right of laborers to strike for iff her wacea is no excuse for mur der, and cannot be considered at all in relation to the conduct of the rioters at Thibodaux.

A QUESTION OF AFKICANIZATIQX. At the Delhi Nicholls meeting. Colo nel H. R. Lott, of West Carroll made a point relative to the "Africanization" of the State that deserves serious con sideration.

It refers to the representation in the State Democratic Nominating Convention of such parishes as Tensas, which casts nineteen votes, when it is entitled to about three on a fair apportionment. Colonel Lott made the point that the political power possessed by the colored man is an immense one and when consolidated and brought to bear as a unit and controlled by a few white men likely to become in this State as powerful as it had been under earpet-bag rule. It seems this view of the case is to be realized. The points brought forth by this campaign develop one by one unmistakably the fact that this power, which is lodged in the hands of the colored man and which we hoped would not be brought to bear, is again about to be urged forward by ambitious colored men and for the same purposes it was used by the carpet-bag power. The action of the State Central Com mittee, which according to the claims of the McEneryites, was controlled by them, is.

conclusive against them. The apportionment which they, according to i heir own advocates, fixed, goes in the direction of wielding this power of black votes against white opponents. In demonstration of this proposition said Colonel Lott They have apportioned the parish of Tensas 19 delegates in the convention. This is on the basis of 1 delegate to every 21 white men. They have ap portioned to the parish of Ouachita.

9 delegates. This is on the basis of 1 delegate to every 90 white men. They have apportioned to the parish of Morehouse 6 delegates. This is on the basis of 1 delegate to every 120 white men. They have apportioned to the parish of Concordia 11 delegates, and this is on the basis of 1 delegate for every 36 white men.

"Now upon this basis one white man in Tensas is equal to ten white men in Union. On the same basis he is equal to ten white men in Jackson, and one white man in Concordia Is equal to six white men in Union, six in Jackson and seven in Claiborne. "This list carried out would show the same discrepancies existing in their apportionment throughout the parishes forming what is known as the 'Black Belt' of the State and the 'White When the result of this gerrymandering of the State is considered in its full bearing it will be found full of danger to the Democratic party. Colonel Lott partially shadowed these when he claimed that by this apportionment Governor McEnery would get in the Fifth congressional district the parishes which he claims, or his friends claim. 41 votes based on negro representation, and Governor Nicholls gets 7 votes based on the same representation.

On this basis, if Governor McEnery is nominated at all he will be nominated by ballots representing negro voters, who at the primaries are not allowed to vote at all. The same system carried forward and adopted at the convention in 1891 would give us about twenty Tensas, and these twenty Tensas, voting in the same way that Tensas now votes, would nominate the candidates for Governor and all the State officers, which is negro supremacy again of the worst form. educating Hoodlums and Criminals. The most popular literature for children is no longer of the style of the old-time fairy stories and wonder books, in wnlch most of the astonishing and difficult feats were performed by creature endowed with special and extraordinary powers. Now the fairies are forgotten and books of the highwayman school are alone In favor.

The small boy Is taught that the proper thing Is for him to be able to kill hla fellow-beings at a moment's warning, and to feel no hesitation in undertaking any act, no matter how serious Its nature or direful Its consequences. Thus he becomes accustomed to contemplate blood shed and crimes of all sorts as the common est things In the world, and lt would be strange If he could escape growing up a brutal hoodlum. If not a criminal of the worst type. An example of this Is to be seen In a story that oomcs from Texas. Two boys at Segain, under the Influence of the sort of mental pabulum commonly provided tor readers of tender years, resolved to turn robbers.

They then excavated a care In a lonely hillside, where they spent moeh of their time. Having acquired pistols and all the paraphernalia of robbers lt was then necessary to secure a victim, whereupon they decoyed another boy Archie Henry into their cave and murdered him. For this crime they have Just been sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Death of Rev. Patrick F.

Allen. At a quarter-pasts o'clock yesterday morn ing very Bev. Monslgnor Patriok Francis Allen, pastor of St. Patrick's church, departed this life peacefully, surrounded by friends and attending physicians. For some time past Father Allen's health was on the decline, and frequently he was oompelled to take to his bed.

While seated In his office on last Thursday evening he was seized with a chill. As the days went by he grew worse until yesterday morning when he breathed his last. Chronlo Inflammation of the bowels Is said by the attending physician to have caused death. Father Allen was born In county West Meath. Ireland, In 1833.

and came to Ameri ca In 186L He studied for the priesthood at LlttlBock, Barrins College. and at Cape Girardeau College. He came to New Orleans and was ordained In 1867 by the late Archbishop Odin. He became assistant priest at 8c Theresa's church, where he remained two years. He was then transferred to be the assistant of Father Flanagan, of St.

Patrick's church. Upon the death of Father Flanagan in 1872 Father Allen was made pastor of the church and performed the duties of that office until the time of his death. Oa the occasion of a visit to Home he was made a monslgnor or domestlo prelateof me pope. ehortly after the fatal end Bev. Father M.

Fathers Mullen and Flanagan, wno are also burled there. Solemn high mass will be celebrated at 10 o'clock by Bev. Father J. H.

Healln of St. Michael's church and Father Bouxel will officiate. Father O'Connor of the Jesuits' will deliver the eulogy. The clergy and the parishioners of St. Patrick's will attend in large numbers.

Last evening the remains were plaoed In a handsome casket and laid In state In the main aisle of the house of worship. The well known divine was laid out In his priestly robes and appeared quite natural in death. Thousands of people visited the church, marched up the main aisle, took a parang look at the familiar features of the dead, and retired after murmuring a prayer for the repose of his soul. At half -past 7 o'clock vespers of the dead were sung In the presence of a large number of people. A guard of honor watched the remains, and the funeral kneu was sounded at Intervals during the day and night.

Manufacturing Perfumes. The Picayune has repeatedly called atten tion to the opportunities offered In this city and section tor the manufacture of essential oils and other perfumes from the native as well as the cultivated plants and flowers. when ltis considered that most of the per fumery used tn the United State la Imported from abroad, and of that manufactured In the country the concentrated extracts from which it la developed are brought also from foreign countries, the Importance of such an industry may be seen. In this connection the Baltimore Manufacturers' Becord has the following Erery where In the lowlands from North Carolina southward are found the magnolia and Its lesser sister, the sweet bay, whose blooms, treated by distillation or by absorption, yield a delicious perfume, and from the ripened seeds of the former a delicate ex tract ean be distilled. rne ouiuratea flowers from which commercial perfume may be obtained are numerous.

The apparatus for the distillation ot these oils and the extraction ot essences by steeping thO leaves of flowers In oils Is not expensive nor are the processes difficult. The oil of sassafras Is largely produced in North Carolina by distilling the bark In ordinary stills like those used for msklng turpentine, only smaller, and a large share of the busi ness Is done by negroes.

With more delicate odors processes less crude would be desirable, but they Involve nothing that is of special difficulty. The business Is open to any who will ndliie the opportunity. Savage Swine. The wild boar was for centuries considered the most ferocious beast tn Europe In an age when bears were common there. The boar In India Is classed among the dangerous game, and is hunted by the ad venturous sportsmen with as much relish as they would experience in shooting tigers.

The domestlo hog Is by no means formid able, nevertheless by his great strength of neck and shoulder he is able to overthrow' a much, larger animal. Recently In the suburbs of New Orleans a woman was attacked In her own yard by an enraged sow and was so seriously Injured that death ensued. A lean, gaunt, razor-back swamp hog Is certainly a savage-looking creature. Relief for Tampa, a Elsewhere will be found a list of the contributions made through Messrs.

Baker Pasha was the son of a Gloucestershire squire, and became In after life famous as a soldier, and notorious as a gallant. He entered the army as a cornet in the Ceylon Rifle In 1848, and was transferred to the Tenth Hussars In 1862, but passed In the same year to the Twelfth Lancers, where he remained until 1856, when he joined the Tenth Hussars as captain, fla became shortly afterwards the lieutenant colonel of mis crack regiment, in which the prince ot Wales was placed tor military education.

A warm friendship sprang up between Baker Paha and the prince, and continued for years. From the Hussars Baker Pasha went to Aldershot as quartermaster general, a position which'ne neld until 1876, when the painful circumstances ot the great scandal ot bis life compelled his retirement from tne queen's servioe. He was a man ot courage and marked ability. He served in the Kaffir war of 1863-53, and In the Crimean war at tne memorable siege ot Bebastopol. He was reaent at the battle of the Tuhernaya, and ed one of the storming parties in toe final assault on the fortress.

His breast was loaded with military decorations. He wore a medal for the Kaffir war, and the Crimean clasp and the Turkish war medal. He was Immensely popular with the army, and also a notable society man. Boston Herald. CITY HALL.

A Special Meeting. A special meeting of the city oounoll has been called for Friday night for the purpose of reading the license ordinance for 1888 and passing the motion to advertise for license plates. The lloense ordinanoe is a lengthy document which requires an hour or so to read. The council meeting Tuesday night lasted until nearly midnight and the members would not wait to hear the lloense ordinance. An attempt was made to refer lt by title, but the rule Is that an ordinance must be read In full upon Its first offering.

New York Tribune: The use of the word "grand" in small towns and villages of this country Is so common that In some cases lt has become ridiculous. The word, which lea good enough word in its place, is belittled, and the objects to which lt Is applied are cheapened. An English traveler says that the traveling shows ot the country undoubtedly popularized the word In the towns where they exhibited; and the people cling to It because the magnifloenee which It suggests Is a protest against the Insipidity which so generally characterizes their lives. In the Rhode Island circuit court at Newport, before Judge Colt, the ease of Fran- eesoa Bomona Janauaohek the actress, against Henry Bull, was set down tor trial by Jury on the 3d ot January next.

He Is now energetically devoting himself to showing that the commissioners are thorough rascals, while they appeal to the publlo to agree with thorn that the ex-superintendent Is a nincompoop. Both sides seem meeting with considerable success. Meanwhile the silk Industry languishes, but the appropriation will not by any means be permitted to lapse.

TASTE DISPLAYED IN GIFTS. There are few presents more appropriate for the coming holidays than a piano there certainly ean be none more acceptable to the recipient, or that wuf hold In pleasanter or more lasting remembranee the giver. Add to tne above named reasons the fact that for value received a piano Is the cheapest, and Its claim fur superiority as a present, at any time ot the year, is established. Fifteen years ago this could not truthfully have been said, for the number of first-class manufacturers were comparatively few, prioes high and profits large. To-day, thanks to Inventive skill and energy, the choice of an A No.

1 piano Is almost unlimited, and the competition among dealers so great that the prioe of a magnificently finished, sweet tone Instrument, possessing the latest lm- Srovements and guaranteed to last for years, i reduced to minimum profit.
