It is said that while Mrs. Mackay had a box at the Paris Grand Opera her loge was always noted for the strict silence therein maintained daring every public performance.

The conductor rang the bell. out it was too late, and the car kept on to the opposite corner. She was very indignant, and put her indignation into 'warm words, winding up with I'm Mrs. Blank."

It is one of the best state documents he has produced, and will add to his reputation as a practical statesman. It is free from the defects of the Anderson bill for a labor commission, on which we took occasion to comment some time ago, and the project suggested by it is mach superior to the bill recently passed by the nouso. which we have several times recommended, notwithstanding its defects, as better than no law on the subject. It goes without saying that the railroad magnates will not openly reject a general system of arbitration their opposition will seek less outspoken met hods. In the conrse of his testimony before the House Committee Thursday Jay Goald went so far as to assert that he had always been in favor of arbitration, and that it bad been rather a kind of hobby of his.

At a later point in the examination, he declared that he thought the government should have such right to govern and control railroads as to have troubles arbitrated, even without consulting the companies or their employees. Judge Barnes, one of tho Missouri Congressman, interjected, "you mean compulsory arbitration to which question Mr. Gould, evidently thinking he had gone too far, immediately replied in a dodging fashion, "public opinion on these questions is all-powerful. Perhaps voluntary arbitration woald have greater effect tnau compulsory arbitration." This episode in the inquiry is worth consideration. It is not to be doubted that if compulsory arbitration were provided by a carefully drawn statute, the companies would not dare to resist, and would have so mach fear of bringing upon themselves the overwhelming condemnation of public opinion if they should hesitate, that they would probably assume the virtue of an honest desire for arbitration even though they have it not.

It is unfortunate that in tho present temper of Congress it is impossible to hope for any law containing any compulsory provisions. The ill-digested and very imperfect House bill is to be preferred to. no law, but much better is the carefully considered project of the President. Let Congress try for ouee to abandon its insistence on a hundred dissonances, and accept a sound suggestion. IT WAS QUITE TIME.

If the late energetic and rigidly honest Vice President Hendricks were alive to-day, he could point with no little pride to countless remarkable confirmations of his favorite argument in the old campaigns that it was time to open the books. Take the Land Otlice for instance There are from 60.000 to 100,000 claims awaiting examination, and the Board of Revision is finding anything like haste impossible, so enormouH is the mass of fraud accumulated about the land business. No urgency can under the circumstances justify haste at the expense of certainty of right. A very remarkable evidence of the general truth of the contention that it was time to open the books, in order that it might be determined whether a quarter of a century of Republican domination had really vitiated the public service throughout, lies before us in the shape of a closely printed pamphlet of 41S octavo pages, in small type; it is the answer of the Secretary of the Treasury to a Senate resolution directing him to transmit a list of claims, accounts and vouchers against the government, paid by disbursing officers or otherwise, which have been, since the 1st of January last, disallowed by the accounting officers of tho Treasury, together with a memorandum in eacb case showing the reason for disallowance, and what further action if any has been taken thereupon, ami also copies of all written decisions and opinions which have been rendered by any officer in such cases, and of any explanations made by officials making or authorizing such payments. The Senate probably thought that the new Democratic accounting officers, in an excess of partisan zeal, had been unnecessarily stopping and reversing claims, and.

charging against Republican officials payments which the latter had properly made. But the report will prove an indubitable boomerang. There are on some pages more than eighty separate entries to the page, ranging from a few cents upward to hundreds of dollars. Almost every class of officials seems to have been caught peculating, or, to state it in no harsher form, claiming and receiving money to which they were not entitled. There were the time is less than a yearA26 such payments to Consuls and Ministers, and in four instances they ranged over $3000 apiece.

The list of illegal payments to Indian agents is incredibly long, and one agent has 113 separate payments refused. The explanation of many of these refusals is forged vouchers. The reader will understand that in all these cases payment has already been made by disbursing officers, and the trouble is discovered when the accounts of these disbursing officers come in for auditing. If there had not been a new set of accounting officers no one would have heard.of the trouble at all. The aggregate amount of money which has thus been illegally paid out in less than one year by disbursing officers must be very great; it would require a week of close figuring to sum it up, and we cannot attempt Nor is it necessary any reader of the detailed report will be too sick to ask for a snm long before be gets through with it.

It will be a famons campaign document for the Democracy in" the Congressional canvass next fall. The damage reported at Helena, from the breaking of the levee, reported in yesterday's Picayune, is not so great as at first supposed. The river is still rising at that point, however, and it will probably be some ten days before the crest of the freshet wave reaches there. In the meantime the levees in that section on both sides will be subjected to a severe strain. There is serious danger on the Mississippi side at several points, where a break may flood the Yazoo delta.

However, if leveea stand the rise now coming down there is not ranch to be feared thereafter, as the upper rivers are not high, and these floods will have time to reach the'Gnlf before the snows melt in the North west. TheAtchafalaya outlet will probably save the lower delta from the effects of the rise now coming, as the volume of water is not great. The principal danger is above Eed The holders of Jackson Railroad bonds issued by the city, which have been prescribed and declared worthless by the Supreme Court of Louisiana, are now being sued upon id the United States Courts in amounts too small to be appealed to the Supreme Coort of the United States. In this way it is thought that the Board of Liquidation will be compelled to acknowledge these claims and reincorporate them as part of the city debt. Could not some means be devised to avoid such judgments It is about time that the hold ersof the recognized bonded debt of the city should organize to protect themselves, for if the debt goes on piling up the way it has.

been its payment will be a matter of impossibility. The Wife of Edward Livingston. Eilward Livingston, one of the most distinguished figures in tbe civil annals of Louiftina. Is so prominent in American history that ha Is kuown to ail who are familiar with the event of half a century ago. A Nf-w Yorker by birth he appeared in Louisiana, then a French-Spanish province, about the beginning of the century, and was present when the American fla was hoisted over the old eablldo or palace of the provincial trover men at the Placed Armee, on the 30th r.f November, 1803.

His career as jurist, member of the United 8 ates Congres, serving succoestlvely In the House and In the 8enate, subsequently as Becretary of State, and afterwards as Minister to France, are all matters of history, and need only be mentioned. How much of his splendid career was due to the in-piring isfluence of his brilliant, cultivated anl coarming wife, may not be stated In terms, bus that she was a powerful factor in his fortunes cannot be doubted. A delightful sketch ot her life has Just made Its appearance in a neat Utile volume of memoirs by Miss Louise LI-inston Hunt, frrandniece of tbe distinguished JIy and member of a family which is eminent in its own right as well as by iaheritauce, being the bister of Hon. Carleton Hunt, of this city, late member of Congress, and niece of the lats Hon. W.

H. Hunt, Becretary of the Navy, and subsequently Minister to Kussia under President Oartleld. Mrs. Edward Livingston, Louise d'Avezac, was born in the Island of Saint Daiuiniro. Her father was a planter, descended from a distinguished French family.

Tbe terrible insurrection of slaves which overran that island at the beginning of tbis century, ruined the planter. His two sons were killed, and hisdaighter. the subject of this sketch, her grandmother, little sister and several other ladies who were hidden in the fercst and nourlkhed for several davs by a faithful slave, finally eaped to a French frigate lying in the harbor, but not until the grandmother had been murdered by the savae nrproe. Louise d'Avezac was then a widow of 18. having been married to a gentleman named Moreau at the age of 13.

On her escape with her friends from the West Indian revolution she came to New Orleans and was warmly received by the Creole popu'atlou there. It was not Ion it after this that Livingston met the youug refugee. She was 19 years old, beautiful, gra-elul, brilliant and witty. He was a grave ani handsome man of 39. They loved at hrst sight, and in lSOfi, on the 3d of Jane, they were married, the ceremony beinir celebrated in the chapel ot the old Convent on Ursulines street, but at that time known as Coude afreet.

This building is now the Archie pls-eopal residence, and the priesc who HI elated was af tor wards the Bishop of Explnasse at'me Livingston's home soon became the rallying point ot the most brilU-nt society in Louisiana; bat tie good lady did not fail to be a notable housekeeper. She alao gave great care to the rearing and education of her young daughter Cora, who was born in 1808. In 1923 Judge Livingston went to Washington as a member of Congress from Louisiana, and after serving three terms be was made 8enator. His wife became a distinguished ngure In the society of the national capital, but through all she was a most exemplary wife aad mother. In 1833, under President Jackson, Mr.

Livingston was sent as Minister to France. Tte celebrated John Randolph of Roanoke was then at the height of his political eminence, and he formed a very high admiration for this charming lady, and in a letter to her husband, urging him to accept the French Mission, he wrote as follows "Let rueconjure yon to accept the mission to France, for which you are better qualified than any man In the United States. In Mrs. Livingston, to whom present my warmest respects, you have a most able coadjutor. Dowdies, dowdies won't do for Euripran courts, Paris especially.

There and at n-don tbe character of the Minister's wife is almost as Important a his own. There she would dazzle and charm, and surely the salons of Paris must have far greater attractions for her than the Yaaooa of Her daughter, Cora, was married about that time to Mr. Thomas Pennant Barton, of Philadelphia, who was Bocretary of Legation to her father. In Paris Mrs. Livingston's eoci worth was fully recognized, and she was duly honored at court and the leading salona.

After the return of the family from Europe thy settled at Tarrytown, N. where Mr. Livingston died, in 1835. His wife survived him to the age of 78, dying in IkCO. The volume of muniirj contains many Interesting sketohee 01 Creole life In Louisiana, and lively pictures of society at the national capital in the early part of the century.

It is from tho press of the Har-peis, New York. Amending the School Laws. The 8tate of Mississippi adopted by popular vote laat year an amendment to tbe State Constitution providing for an Increase of the school fund, and the Legislature this year adopted a carefully considered school law of seventy-eight sections for the perfection of the school system. Many vigorous changes in the laws were made, which have been recommended for years by the leading teachers and superintendents of the State. The salaries of teachers are to be fixed and definite, and first-grade teachers are to receive better pay than seoond-grade.

That is tos-y, the design of the new law is to make the salary partly dependent on merit. The matter of public schools has been well attended to so far as the constitution Is concerned It contains no less han ten sections on the subject. Now that the Legislature has made a vigorous effort to enaet such provisions as will carry the intention of the constitution into operation, the result will doubtless become vMjle lathe rapid Improvement of the schools. The provisions of the constitution and laws have been published in a neat pamphlet of thirty-two pages for the instruction of superintendents and teachers, and offers a needed opportunity for comparison by our Legislature with the laws of Louisiana, in order that any valuable its whioh the perusal may afford may be serviceable In the revision ot our statutes. That our laws are susceptible of improvement Is certain, and that the pending general revision offers a suitable opportunity for sues, improvement will have occurred to every member of the Legislature already.

The leading educators of tai Btate should "make a careful examination of the Mississippi laws. draw up their conclusions in the shape of an amendatory statute and hand the draft to any member ot the Legislature with whom they happen to be acquainted, la order that their experience may be of service at Baton Booge next month. Death of Louis H. Pihe. At 11 o'clock last night Mr Louis H.

FlUe, after a eomp-rattvely short Illness, de-parsed this life at the rioe age of 68 years. Ia his dsata the oommuhity is again called to mourn the loss ot one of Its beat citizen one who contnbnted largely toward the advancement of the eity, one who was loved and honored by all who knew him. The pang ot sorrow which this sad sews will cause will be increased when memory recalls the one who has departed, aid he is recalled aa he always was, a jovial companion, a true friend and a devoted father and husband. '-f Louis H. Pill was, a native of this city, having been born is the year .1830.

He was educated In Janin's Insrltuts, a celebrated school in this city From early boyhood the deceased showed great fondness for mathematics and drawing, and when still quite young ate red pub lis life as a Deputy Surveyor for the First Municipality. la ISM he was appointed Surveyor of that municipality and remained in the dlsohargo of the duties of that office until 1852. when he was made the Surveyor for the whole city, then consisting of three muni sipsti ties. After the breaking out ot the war, in 1862. he was removed from odloe by Gen.

Butler, whoiuiprsoned him for some time for his Confederate convict ona. Immediately after the conflict he re-entered public life, and without his solicitation In 1867 he wa again appointed Cltr Surveyor by the City Council. In this ofiice ho remained only a few months, when owing to his untiring efforts to defeat party schemes he again Temoved by Gn. Sheridan. Of late years Mr.

Pilie efficiently fulfilled the duties of tbe important office of Assistant City Surveyor under tbe late lamented Jules A. d'Hemccourt, and the present incumbent, Mr. D. M. Broenan.

Many of tbe niowt Important improvements in this city, especially tbe rquare-blocking of tbe streets, were made under his superviel'in. The subject of tbis brief sketch leaves a large family to mourn his demise. Among these are several sons, who have followed the profession of their lamented father. The Picayune tenders its heartfelt sympathy to the members of the family in this their hour of bereavement. The funeral will take place this afternoon, at o'clock, and will be attended by a large number of the friends and acquaintances of the family.

The Picayune is luaebved to Gen. W. 8. oeecrtns, Register of the Treasury, for a copy, of a statement of the publle debt of the Lnlt'd State from tbe year 1789 to 1885, inclusive. In a quarto volume of 110 pages is presented in tabular form a statement, year by year, of the various loans nezotiated by the United States Government, with the amount of each, the time to run, the rate of interest and tbe manner in which they have been successively rcduoed or disposed of.

There is also given an account, year by year, of the receipts and expenditures of the government, showing th sources of revenue and the speclno department of service for which disbursements were made. It furnishes, at far as bare tables of figures can, a condsns-d memoir of the national life, the vicissitudes and tbe unexampled growth of the nation. The information contained is invaluable to the statesman and writer oa pub io affairs, and it is the first financial history of tbe country ever made. "The Public Opinion Company" has established in Washington city the publication of a weekly quarto sheet containing expressions of sentiment or bnlief on all leading subjects, from tho chief representative public journals of all sections of tae Union and of all political parties. It furnishes good reading and assists to elevate its readers out of the rut of local and merely partisan opinion.

St. Pimples, Boils, And Carbuncles result from a debilitated, impoverished, or impure condition of tbe blood. Ayer's SarsapariUa prevents and cures these eruptions and painful tumors, by removing their cause; the only effectual way of treating them. Aycr's Sarsaparilla has prevented tbe usual course of Boils, which have pained and distressed me every season for several years.

Geo. Scales, P' lain ville, Mich. I was badly troubled with Pimples on tbe face; also, witb a discoloration of tbe skin, which showed itself in ugly dark patches. No external treatment did more than temporary good. AVer's Sarsapa rill effected A Perfect Cure, and I have not been troubled since.

T. W. Boddy, River st- Lowell, Mass. I was troubled with Boils, and my health was much impaired. I began wing Ayers Sarsaparilla, and, in due time, tbe eruptions all disappeared, and my health was completely restored.

John K. EJkins. Editor Stanley Observer, Albemarle, X. C. I was troubled, for a long time, with a humor which appeared on my face in ugly Pimples and Blotches.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured me. I consider, it the best blood purifier in the world. Charles Ii. Smith, North Craftsbury, Vt. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is sold by all druggists and dealers in medicine.
