The California Bubble. The Dallas Neres learns from a gentle man and a leading citizen of that place who has just returned from an extended tour through California, that at many points in the State visited by him he found many laboring men idle and very anzious to get out of the country. He makes mention of San Diego as the city of "land men" and wholly in the hands of capitalists, and that the present condition of the Golden State is not the least invi ting to men of limited means. In corro boration of this we would state that Mr. Edgar Tally, of this city, a shrewd and observant young man, has recently re tarned from Los Angelos, where he re mained several weeks for the benefit of his health. He reports that from all he could gather by listening to tne conver sation of apparently intelligent men, it is certainly "on the cards" that the boom will collapse in the early port of the com Iag year, when the third and last pay ments will be duo on property purchased at very high figures and which many buy ers will no; be able to meet.--[Shreveport Journal. In this respect we would state that two of Rapides' sons of late have loca ted in San Diego, and are doing well -in fact making money. In their correspondence with relatives here, they seem te have the greatest confi dence in the boom there, and almost say in so many words, "bundle up enn] come out." As we understand the matter, it is this way-men with money andja certain amount of business get up can go and locate and make money mostcanywhore. Yes,, we will dare say this cannot be denied. Then, why is it so much faes and racket is made over this California bnbble? Louisi ana,pRapides Parish, is good enough. And we advise all who have any ilea of going to the "golden shore" to stay here. The boom out in California 1 will burst, and when it does, why stand from under. Put the same money and men in Rapides, and you'll see ! We are satisfied right here. -COME and take a look at our oil- a ed leather saddles, cheapest and best i in the market.

The rneral of the late Minister Manninº took place yesterday morn ing at 1 o'clock from Christ Church. The ser es were conducted by Bish op Gal r, assisted by Rev. David Scssum ector of the Church, and at the clo ie cortege wound its way to Metari here the remains of the dis n.inguis dead were placed tempora '0- rily in a vault. At 9 o'clock in the morning all that was mortal of the dead minister lay in state in the beautiful chancel of the rk church, attended. by only a few faith ful friends, whose tributes of loyal lis friendship were thus for the first time xti unheeded by him they honored. All the windows of the lovely church were t_ set wide open, and a soft mellow Octo ber wind istrayed in under the grand n arches annd melted its musical whisper ings in with the tones of the organ that filled the sanctuary with a tremu lous suggestion of music as of harmony dheard from afar. The casket was of mahogany cov ered withiblack cloth, with silver han dles and 'on the lid a square silver plate beating the name and age of the great mar whose stilled heart it cov ered. U'on this plate rested a cluster of exqui e white roses, ripe in their e perfect luty, mingled with fronds of d maiden r fern. Also upon the lid, 'y now sh ag away forever from mor tal view the fine face, the noble brow, le rested a superb floral design, a cross 3 of white and crimson roses, losing it self in a splendid crown woven of white roses and immortolles. Upon the chancel step, below the casket, stood another large and handsome of fering-ani arch of white flowers bend ing above, white and gold gates that s opened disclosing a star of flowers. n Before thc services a lady deposited a ' laurel wreath upon the casket. d At half'past 9 the church bell be t gan its tolhling and the friends and fel low citizen&s of the distinguished dead t began to Assemble for the solemn, fi nal rites. Mrs. Manning and her fan Ilily arrived in carriages and were es r corted by the pall bearers to their seats near the casket, and shortly after t the pall bearers, with heavy scarfs of I crape floating from their shoulders marched up the aisle and took their seats at the left of the coffin, the fanm ily of the dead minister being in the front pews at the right. And then the hushed and awed congregation arose. Bishop Qalleher and Rev. Mr. Ses- c sumis entered the chancel and there were repeated the impressive words of the Episcopal service beginning, "I am the resurrection and the life." B During the entire recital of the t burial service Mr. Florian Schaffer at I the organ improvised an exquisite mi- d nor-chorded tmelody that sighed thro' the church, and was the perfect music- t fitting th~e words of the solemn service. t Bishop Galleher pronounced a most eloquent enlogy of the deceased, say- c ing that it was meet and right to gath er in the touse of God, and speaking with the voice of the church to make some recognition of the loss which weighed 'i heavily on the heart. When on6 has been taken away the church mingled her tears with those of relatives iind friends. The doceased made for himself a large place in the hearts oi the people of Louisiana. te Coming fiiom the Atlantic shores he I brought with him heart and capacity. n In the many crisis of the affairs of the state he iceupied a foremost poSition. The contfidence of the people of Louis- n iana wans ~is. He was a true and up- v rightjudae, as minister to the Sister a Repubhlio of Mexico dignity sat upon his brow, and as a man he was distin- ti guished, larned and fearless. It was h well thatj they should mourn. He n closed hisitribute with the ever solemn ti and impraesive : "Earth to earth, ash- ce es to ashes; dust to dust." tl At the gonclusion of Bishop Galle- I her's bea itifully chosen and tender words the.pall bearers stepped into the chancq! and lifted their burden. The proc~ sion down the aisle was led by the hi top and rector, the bishop's face bein tear wet for the loss of his friend. Iebind the clergyman camne the pall learers with the casket, led by the vonerablo Judges Marr and Merrick, Mnd followed by the sobbing family aid friends. During the pro coession fromi the church Mendelsohn's ct funeral n rch was played. The pall- m bearers wtre Jungo R. H. Marr, J C. H Morris, Jqhn M. Avery, Capt. Richard Sinnott, ,dge E. .

The preparation of which the bh. correspondent spoke is at least worth a Ib- trial, and doubtless many cotton plan. rid ters and vegetable farmers will take at pleasure in complying with the request to therein contained : is- PORT CLINTON, OHIO, Oct. 12, 1887. Seeing a dispatch October 7th, quoting your editorial on ravages of the cotton at worm, leads me to ask whether it be pos. sible for me to get by mail a few hving in specimens of the insect. I have discover he ed and thoroughly tested the present sea son a non-poisonous preparation, which ;h- without injury to vegetation kills or ban ishes every insect pest known in this lat itude, from the poultry parasite to the no bed bug, and from the plant louse to the Colorado potato beetle. I am not sure it Ill kills the tobacco worm, but it cause, ire them to disappear. This preparation, into the composition of which no official 0- drug enters, can be made anywhere in the id United States for $1.25 to $1.50 per barrel of say 250 pounds--perhaps for less in 3r- large quantities--and no expensive ma tn chinery is required. Ten pounds suffioes for each application per acre of heavy Ir u- ish potato vines. If put on while plants are moist with dew it prevents for a long time the moth from depositing eggs. If not practicable or convenient to send Sspecimen as requested, would you be so kind as to send me a brief description of n- the worm, its origin, habits and method or of attack in its depredationst If it be a caterpillar or soft worm and works in a he way to be accossibte, either in eggs or larva, my preparation will assuredly kill or prevent it, and this, I should think, or would be a boon of some importance to y your section. Hoping to hear from you when convenient, and anxious to impart of any infobrmation in my power, I am, respectfully, LEONARD H. MILLER. -Buy your boots, shoes and hats from " Cheap ss John."

Have had a a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, d and my leg is now sound and well." Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Buekleu's Arnica Salve at 25c. º- per box by Jacob Ueiger. - -CnHEA John has the nicest and best made furniture ever brought to this town. Examine his stock before going r elsewhere. Read This Well and Ponder Over It. B Before the Democracy of the State - can make up its mind to nominate Gen. Nicholls, says the Tensas Ga zette, it must agree to the following startling propositions and incorporate them in the platform of the party : t 1. That however grievous may be the Swr, ng they suffir, however onerous and degrading may be the burden of negro and Republican misrule, any efforts made by Democrats to relieve themselves is "ut terly wrong and without justification." t For this Democratic (f) proposition our readers are referred to the Nicholls message to the legislature of'77 as the "Tensas Affair." 2. That whenever a nomination does not meet the approval of a Democratic minority that .a bolt and thie suplport of an independent candidate is their remedy. For rhe enunciation of this rule of Democratic condnuct, reference is made to the course of Gen. Nicholls in the Hunt-St.-Martin campaign. We sub mit that it is scarcely possible to evolve, by the employment of ever so much ingenuity, two doctrines so sub versive of the traditions of- our party and of our ideas of right and wrong as the above two fulndamental proposi tions of the Nicholls Democracy. Ad herence now to suihL monstrous theo ries is to give the lie to everything that the Louisiana Democracy hlas ac compltshed since the inauguration of the movement to wrest the State from Republican domination. -ADn now comes to the front Cheap John with the annonncement that hlie will sell you more for $l than you can get any where else. -A TELEGRAM from Terrell, Tex., gives the following account of a sen sational affair: "One of the most blood I curdling accidents occurred here this morning. A freight train on the T'ex-. as and Pacifio came to the depot about 1 5 o'clock a. m., and missing a brake- t man they searched for him, and foulnd his lifeless and limnp form across the , track, about one hundred yards enst of a the depot. His name is Amther IIeed , and is s:sid to bavebeen a sober young l man. He had relatives in I)allas. 1 HIe was about twenty years old, and of d substantial physical structure. No one a knows how he came to his death, but 5 the supposition is that hlie was passing n over the train, and in stepping from I one car to another his foot went be- u tween, and he fell immediately utider g the wheels. Both arms were broKen and mangled dreadfully, and thel wheels passed over the main part ofc the body, just above the hips, crush ing and mangling them in every con- u ceivable shape, his heart and otiler or ginus being thrown out of the body on < the ground." -WHEN you want a good b)oot or shoe for a slnmall sum of mmoney, why hi call on Cheap Johu, the shoe man of Alexandria. lie has also a beantiful c line of hats, which are also going at ti very low figures.

The tke articles, long and short, bear this char est aoter. The serious illustrated papers naturally demand the first atention. ft "Vesta and the Vestals," by Mark F. ing Vallette, is very interesting, and the ton illustrations picture some recent dis o0- coveries in Rome. "Sir Phillip Sid nug ney," by Edmund Gosse, with a por ca- trait and views of his home at Pens ich hurst, is a charming study. "A Walk in the Farces" gives a life-like picture th of these unfrequented islands, and No the l1 Ruthveu's "A Dash Through the it Green Isle," is a very entertaining re 4' cord of a hasty journal through Ire j land. "The Gospel in Egypt," is a he most imlportant article. It is by Miss rel M. L. Whately, the daughter of the n" late Archbishop Whately, of Dublin, 1a- and shows the remarkable success jr- achieved in Egypt by one devoted wo its man. Dr. Talmage's sermon is on the rl' "Employments of Heaven," and edi ud torially he discusses "Holy Curiosity," so "Our Own Condition," "The Nega of tive" and "Our Church and No Oth od er." The two long articles are con a tinued, anal there are two good short or stories. Several good poems and ill many short articles make up an excel , lent number of this favorite family on magazine.

A correspondent writes to it correcting the mistake as follows: "I P see from your last issue that you have Sdone an injustice to one of our school board. If you will only look back to 1876, Juudge Raynham was a candi -date for the office of justice of the tpeace for the first ward that year, and I the carpet-bag negro Dulas ran for the same office. To elect the negro over Judge Raynham, Weher had each wardl in the Parish to vote for Dula, ( and so made his false returns. Thtough Judge Raynhanm, in the first ward. had received a large Mnajority of the i1 legal votes, Weber attempted to esad dle this vile negro upon the first warid as its Mnagistrate. Gov. Nicholls, for some cause or other, issued his com mission to Dula and not to Ravnham. Thlis was after the Nicholls govern ment was securely in power. The good people of this Parish who had worked day and night to destroy Rad ical rule and to elect Gov. Nicholls could not and would not stand this outrage; and the negro Dula received notice to leave. iNow Judge Rayn baul is not a Nicholls man, and how A could he e bef" Buncklen's Arnica Salve.
