Weigh a professional politician and he will be found wanting offioe. Very little of the spring poetry used In Mobile is written at Spring Hill.

Nature seems to stand by the survival of the fittest and the preservation of the tightest. Postal cards were invented for poli-- tieians who want to write open letters to imaginary people. Eloquence can be pnt on tap; but that which is so drawn to order is not of the genuine brand. The barber is always ready to cat hair, and many a man who goes in for a have eomea out shorn.

If the prioe of copper keeps on going v-up the copper cent will be worth a dollar in the course of time. The postage stamp is always licked unfairly. Some one goes behind its back when the assault is made. A no table social event is a lunch party where the guests stand up by the sideboard and take their refreshments straight. The ring is in danger, and the ring is doing the squealing.

The Democratic party in the state has been saved, and is all right. "I rise to announce," said the member for Wayback, to the speaker. A spoonful of yeast oould do that to an ounce of flour. Can not, being two words, can not be a word, though many good writers unite and try to make them one, which can not be rightly done. To man who wants a cocktail at home in tne morning, it is a bitter experience to wake np and find his an-gostur bottle empty.

The monopoly plan of acquiring valuable franchises is to put plenty of money where it will do the most good, and make the public pay for it. Samson's weakness was in allowing bis wife to cut his hair. Physically, and according to reason, he should have 'been stronger after being shorn. An engagement ring on the finger of a young lady is apt to be made conspicuous by the wearer. It is the same way with a scalp worn by an Indian in his belt.

For a swell lunch, set oat Boston crackers, prunes, raw oysters, Weiss beer, sponge cake, dried apples add seltzer water, with radishes and salt tor relish. A debutante should not wear a dress that does not cover her shoulders. Such a dress makes her look too much as if she wanted to come out, which is bad for the blossom. If a vulgar man has money enough he ean buy a ticket of admission to fashionable society. All the same it will not be good society where one must be agen- tleman to be a member.

If it is wioked and criminal for a barber to share a customer on Sunday, as it Appears to be, under a ridiculous Sunday law. no good oitixen will lend his countenance for a shave. An exchange says "Two articles of bistorio value are reported to have been found within the past few days. One is the fiddle owned and. played upon by George Washington.

It is the make of Jacobus Steiner, and is nearly 2J0O years old. The fittings are new, but the old case is intact and the tone is oft and sweet. Mr. George Gnmunder New York bought it a week ago of a jlescendant of Washington." The landers against George Washington will never cease. He has been shown to be a cherry tree destructionist as a boy, and illiterate, profane, speculative and a politician as a man.

Now he is accused of having been a fiddler. Nina Van Zandt is quoted as saying he bitterly regrets that she did not carry out an alleged plan of blowing up the jail that held the late Chicago anarchists and thereby releasing Spies. She says the "murder" of Parsons was "the most diabolical of them all. Think of it; a man believing himself innocent, gives himself np to the authorities and Is murdered by them i Parsons should have been saved, and oould have been saved if bis case had been properly managed. It was different with my husband.

Nothing could have saved bim but one thing, and I was a fool not to do as -I intended and should have done that was to blow np the jail!" Miss Van Zandt does not seem to grasp the fact that in blowing np the jail she would also have blown np "her husband." Savannah News. Well, other women have blown np their husbands. It needs no orazy anarchess from a dime TWO W03DIEFUL AMERICAN BATTLES There were in the present century two battles fought on the North American continent which, oonsidering the numbers engaged, the vast interests at stake, the circumstances of disparity in the strength, discipline and equipment of the opposing forces, and in the completeness of the results attained, and the extraordinary destruction of human life on the one side and the astonishingly trivial losses on the other, may well be characterized as miraculous. One of these was the bloody drama which was enacted in the environs of this goodly city, thereby saving it from fire and saok, this day seventy-three years ago, namely, on the 8th of Jan-nary, 1815. The other was the battle at San Jacinto, on the plains of Texas, in which on the 21st of April.

1836, the scanty American population of a Mexican province won their independence from the oppression of the mother country. In December, 1814, almost at the very close of the prolonged war between the United States and Great Britain, a British army, which had eluded all observation, was landed on the shores of Lake Borgne from a fleet which had destroyed the pitiful squadron of small schooners which had attempted to bar its passage to the waters in the rear of New Orleans. Having landed, not only without opposition but without discovery, the troops, by means of the ships' boats launched upon Bayon Bienvenu, were able undercover of nigbt to transfer themselves and their stores to the high ground on the bank of the Missis-sinni river, and the first notice of their coming was their appearance upon a plantation in the immediate neighborhood of the city. This army was no common organization. It was composed of officers and men who had gained the highest renown in campaigns in India and in numerous battles with the veterans of the great Napoleon.

They were skilled in every art of war and were supplied with every requisite for their work of de-structionand in order to inspire their utmost zeal appeal was made to the worst passions of this fierce soldiery by offering as a prize for their success in the conquest of the devoted city everything which could be implied in the expression "Beauty and booty," which was given as the battle word for the day. When it is considered what was opposed to this formidable invasion, the extreme seriousness of the situation will be appreciated. A motley aggregation of Tolunteer troops and militia was composed ef Tennesseeans, Missle-sippians, Keatnokians, Louisiana Creoles, a few oranautes of battle-soarred adventurers; skilled artillerists from Lafitte'e pfratieal stronghold at Bara-taria. a battalion of free men of color, and some other irregular a Over this army, an army of shreds and patches as to exteriors, but a band of American freemen in heroism and patriotic devotion, was to be seen as chief com mander the Wellington of the West, one of the most remarkable men of his day, whom, to mark his indomitable will and energy, men called "Old Hickory," bnt who was indeed a man of blood and iron. These were the men and this the commander who were to oppose Lord Pakenham and his veterans of two continents in their march into New Orleans seventy-three years ago.

The details of the battle have been often written. They need not be repeated here. Perhaps there were five thousand of these Americans to oppose twice their number of the invaders. The sun rose on them in brave battle array. Before it set 3000 British, killed and wounded, were strewed upon the fields of the sugar plantations, while of the city's defenders only seven were killed and six wounded.

In the Texas battle of which mention was made, 760 ill-clad, half-starved and poorly armed settlers met double their number of the flower of the Mexican army, under the most brilliant and successful of Mexican commanders, who was at the same time president of the Mexican republic In twenty minutes the Mexican force was annihilated with 630 killed, 208 wounded and 730 prisoners, while the Texan loss was only eight killed and twenty-five wounded. These, in brief, were the two miracu lous battles on the North Amerioan continent, xneir consequences were the deliverance of Louisiana and Texas from the temporary effaoeinent of their civilization, a deliverance by means which were truly astonishing and inexplicable upon any of the principles of war. Some are disposed to believe the Americans in each oase received supernatural assistance. At any rate, it can be classed as truly providential. Death of Dr.

Felix Formento, Sr. The telegraph has brought to New Orleans the sad news of the death In Plgneral, Italy, of Sr. Felix Formento, the father of the well-known phyalolan of New Orleans, whloh occurred oa the 6th of January. Tho deceased was born la 1792, In Piedmont, Italy, ef a very old and distinguished family. He graduated lu medlolne at the University of Turin In 1813, and took part as a physician In the last campaign In France, of the Emperor Napoleon L.

At the downfall of the Napoleon dynasty he left Europe and came to the United States. Soon thereafter he joined as physician the expedition commanded by General Lallexnand. who, at the bead of an herolo band of exiled French soldiers like himself, undertook to found the settlemencknown as "Champ d'Aslle," in the then province of Texas, a dependency of Mexico. In 1818, after the dispersion of that unfortunate expedition. Dr.

F. Formento sought a refuge in New Orleans under rather romantlo circumstance. Whilst serving in the Champ d'Aslle," at a time when complete aemorallzaUoa existed among the remaining few disappointed members of that expedition. Dr. Formento was Induced by the famous privateer Lafitte to visit his headquarter in some island or locality in the vicinity so as to giro his professional eervloes to hi daughter, to whom be was greatly devoted.

She bad been affected for some time with seme serious disease-typhoid fever it was thought, Dr. Formento remained several weeks at Lafltte's house and was treated with the consideration of a king or, still better, as the savior of the celebrated privateer's only daughter. After her recovery Lafltte gave the young doctor many tokens of gratitude, and moreover, provided him with the means of reaching New Orieane, where he arrived daring the year 1818. He then began the practice of his profession in which he very soon acquired a great and widespread reputation. He reached to great eminence as a very successful praoU-tloneer.

He also greatly distinguished himself in the epidemics of yellow fever, which at that time were quite frequent, and particularly did he do so in the great cholera epidemic of 1832. Dr. Formento tn 183S married Mrs. Widow PonUanlt, nee Palmyra Lauve, and had by that marriage four children, three sons and one daughter. His eldest eon.

Dr. Felix Formento, new one of the most eminent practicing physician and surgeons in New Orleans, served with marked distinction in the medical arm of the confederate sett lee. Another son died from disease, contrasted -ia the same terries, and the third is at pret- ent director of a bins In Italy, and the only daughter married In Turin a wealthy and influential manufacturer. At the time of the general financial crisis all over the United States In 1837, daring the presidency of General Andrew Jackson, Dr. F.

Formento, was the possessor of a very Urge fortune. Owing to the terrible financial disasters and wild peoulatlons of that time, he, like so many others, was entirely rained. Very much affected by the loss of the wealth which he had acquired after many years of incessant struggle and hard work. Dr. Formento left New Orleans for a while and took refuge In the village of Plaauemlnes.

Iberville parish, where he nrawUcfiA hi ntofesslon. But at the request and solicitation of numerous friends In New Orleans, he soon returned to that city, where he continued to practice with great success until the year 1851, when be left for Europe with his family. In 1800 he returned to New Orleans, but In 1863, when New Orleans fell Into the hands of the federals, he went back to Italy, where he had since lived. At the time of bis death he had attained the age of 94 years, but retained to a remarkable degree his brilliant intellect. He had not lost Interest in the affairs of his adopted oonntry, the extraordinary development and progress of which he followed to the end with deep satisfaction.

Sr. Formento had never occupied any publlo office In this country. With, his great talent as a physician he combined the most precious and amiable qualities of heart and soul. Modest, kind and devoted to friends, of an nnbounded charity, of refined and elegant manners, very dignified in his appearance and remarkably handsome, he waa to the end. and In spite of many years of absence, remembered by all those who knew him, as a fins type of the old souool gentle, man physician.

5 At a special meeting of tha Cotton Yardmen's Benevolent Association the following tribute of respect and of condolence was adopted The death of PATRICK ME A LEY has cast a gloom upon this association. The voice of a a miliar friend no longer echoes within thl haU, the hearty laugh, the od-natursd rippling wit of an almost boyish disposition are no longer heard there is a vacant chair." To the will of God all must bow. and In thl belief, hard though it be to accept it under the circumstances which have deprived us of our friend and brother, we must confide. A man among men with a heart that charity never appealed to in vain, and a hand ever ready to succor and relieve, Patrick Mealey. in the prime of life, from the field of hi kindly labors, from the love of a devoted wife and the caresses of affectionate children, has been taken by the bullet of an assassin.

To his wife and children in their onoe happy but new desolate home the deep sympathy of this association is extended. Words, however kind, cannot heal wounds like theirs, and it were vain to seek for them. W. H. MERRICK.

Secretary. IN MEMORIAM. Hall Volunteer Fire Engine Company Nc 1, 1 New Orleans, Jan. 4,1888. At the regular meeting of this company, held on the above date, the undersigned committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutions expressive of the death of our late exempt brother member, GEORGE MOORE.

PATRICK MEALEY. Inspired by high personal regard for his sterling qualities, as well as pro. fonnd sympathy with his surviving family In their irreparable bereavement so lamentable and unexpected, the following-named citizens have felt it to be incumbent upon them and that they only voice the general wish when they formulate a plan whereby senti-. ment and feeling can be converted Into substantial aid to the i widow and children now left without means and deprived of their accustomed support. The idea is to raise a fund of such amount as friendship and generosity may make possible, with a view to its inveetment in some suitable form, so as to secure a fixed, if modest, income to Mrs.

Mealey. to assist her in bringing np the six minor children forming her now unhappy household. Subscriptions to this end will be re- eeived. and reported by any member of committee named below.
