The Official Journal of the Proceed ing* of the Constitutional Convention of the State of Louisiana, held in New Orleans, Tuesday, Feb. 8, 1898, con tains the following, by Dr. C. H. Te- bault, a member of the convention, and now Surgeon-General U. C. V.: “Resolved, That the following his tory of the last three amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which was taken down by an expe rienced stenographer while being de livered in connection with a law lec ture before the Tulane law class by a distinguished statesman, lawyer, and professor of the Tulane Law School, is deserving ot preservation. The history is succintly and briefly stated aaj follows; ‘There were no more amendments until the Civil War. Mr. Lincoln issued his proclamation of 18— as a war measure for the eman cipation of the negroes. Nobody be lieved that he bad the power to eman cipate slaves, but be did It. As soon as we were subjugated, in 1866, they adopted what Is cnlled the Thirteenth Amendment. The adoption of this amendment ratified what had been done by Mr. Llucoln, and made con stitutional what had been unconstitu- al, and abolished slavery In the Uni ted States. That was the immediate result of our subjugation. In 1866 they adopted what is called the Four teenth Amendment to the Constitu tion, which declares that all persons born or naturalised in the United States, etc. Why did they do It? It was to override the celebrated Dred Scott decision (19 Howard). In that caso a free negro had instituted a suit In the courts of the United States in Missouri against a citizen of an other State, claiming that he was a free man. The question was whether a free negro was a citizen of the Uni ted States. The Supreme Court of the United States decided that a free negro was not and never hud been regarded ss a citizen either of the colonies or of the State previous to the formation of the United States; and, therefore, never could be a citi zen of the United Stales. The Chi.f Justice went into the history of the African race in this country. Mr. Huuiuer and Seward, iu the Senate, denounced this decision. The North rose up in arms. The Republican party, when it assembled to nominate a candidate, adopted as a part of its platform that the decision of the Su preme Court of the United States was not binding upon the country on such a question. And they would not rec ognize it. Mr. Lincoln wus elected upon that platform, and when he was elected the South thought that as the people of the North hud claimed for half A century that the Supreme Court of the United StateB was the Arbiter of this constitutional question, that as they had undertaken to repu diate this decision and elect a Presi dent on a platform which repudiated the authority of the United Status Supreme Court, and that if there over was a time to go to war that was the time, they went to war upon It. That U the origin of the Civil War. It was not that Mr. Lincoln was elected upon a free-soil platform, but a plat form which repudiated n decision of the United States Supremo Court on this subject In contradiction to which they had contended for up to that time, simply because it was in favor of the South. SIhvcr wero after that made citizens, in 1866-66. Then cume the last amendment: The right of citizens ot the United States to vote shull not be denied, etc. They thought they lmd secured the pre dominance of the Republican party in tlie South, because the negroes iu many ol the Slutes wore in the ma jority. Note: -That the right shall uot be abridged on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi tude.’ The Supreme Court, when this article came up lor consideration, aaid that this did not give anybody the right to vote. It is true, negroes were citizens, but tho State could discriminate as to what citizens should or should uot vote for any other cause than race, color, or pre vious servitude. This did uot secure to the negroes the right to vote, but merely secured to them that they should not be discrimiimten against on accouut of race, color, servitude.’ “Resolved, That this valuable and instructive legal history be spread on Use journal of this convention." The resolutions were adopted. It Happened in a Drug Store. “One day last winter a lady came to my drag store and asked for a brand of cough medicine that I did not have in stock,’’ sayB Mr. C. R. Grandin, the popular druggist of On tario, N. Y. “She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough prep aration I could fecommend. I said to her that 1 could freely recommend Chamberlain Cough Remedy, and that she could take a bottle of the remedy and after giving it a fair trial if she did not find it worth tbe money to bring back tbe bottle and I would re fund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. 1 consider that a very good recommendation for the remedy.” It is lor sale by all Newnnn druggists and W.

The remedy of to-morrow Is too late for the evils of to-dny. The lawyer’s acquaintance with a client is usually a brief one. Many a man has been choked by trying to swallow capacious tlsh sto ries. The wsrnan who marries for a home pays the highest market price for It. The emptiness of things here be low is most keenly felt about dinner time. According to an old bnchelor fe male suffrage Is caused by a scarcity of husbands. rt is policy for little birds in their nests to agree—otherwise they might fall out. .Tho comfort derived from the va rious walks of life depends on the condition of the feet. Many a fool has sense enough to get a good wife, but hasn’t got sense enough to know it. A believer in tho faith cure says Hint tbe paths that lead to an un timely grave are allopath und home opath. The uvernge young man is always ready to embrace an opportunity when it comes aloug in the guise cf u pretty girl.

The bald-headed man with four days’ growth of beard on his chin en tered the barber’s shop and sat down in one of the operating chairs. “Shave, sir?” “No!” growled the man in the chair, “I want to be measured for a suit of clothes.” “This isn’t a tailor’s shop, sir.” “What is it?” “It’s n barber shop?” “What work do you do in this shop? “Shave men and cut their hair, sir.” “Do you think a man with no hair on his head would come here to have his hair cut?” “No, sir.” “Then, presuming me to be a sane man, but bald-headed, what would you naturally suppose I came for?” “F'or a shave?” “Then why did you ask me if I wanted a shave when I took u seat in your chair? Why didn’t you go to work at once? If some of you bar bers would cultivate a habit of infer ring from easily ascertained data, in stead of developing such wonderful conversational powers, it would be. of material aid in advancing you in your chosen vocation and of expanding your profits. Do you comprehend?” “Yes, sir,” replied the man, as he began to lather tho customer’s face in a dazed sort of wny. And be never even Asked him if he wanted brilllan- tine on whon the operation was per formed. The best method of cleansing tho liver Is the use *of the famous little pills known as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers. Easy to take. Never gripe. G. R. Bradley.
