Thompson Brown sent to us, through the wails, this week, from West Baton Rouge a curiosity in the shape of one of the small chameleons or lizards that abound in this region, with the peculiarity of a forked tail.

Cofield's Battery C is projecting a cel ebration of the 4th of July which prom ises to be an enjoyable affair. It is pro posed that the Battery go into camp Saturday night, July 3, at some point convenient to Donaldsonville,- and that the 4th be whiled away in such sports as target practice, patgot shooting, dancing on the greensward and an exhibition of infantry and artillery drill. We hope the plan will be carried out. Messrs. Andrew Patton and L. A. Co lomb, actuary and general agent of the Louisiana Equitable Life Insurance Co., lave been making a very successful can vass in the interests of that sterling and reliable company, in this parish and St. James, and have written a large num ber of policies. These gentlemen pro pose to make a tour of the Lafourche, Teche and Attakapas parishes, and we bespeak for them a cordial reception from the people of those sections. They are genial, high toned gentlemen, and represent one of the soundest insurance pseociations in the country. The new advertisement of the Lonisi ana Equitable Life and Accident Insur ance Company solicits the attention of all readers of the CnHIE. There is no spore popular or reliable insurance asso ciation in the land; it affords absolute security to policy holders, its terms are as reasonable as those of any other com pany, and its managers and agents are gentlemen identified with the interests of the State and their respective locali tes. ,Mr. Andrew Patton, the Actuary, is an active, throughgoing man of busi ness, while Mr. L.'A. Colomb, the gener al agent for this section of country is known to nearly anl our local readers as a reliable and estimable gentleman with whom it is a plear ie to hsve bnusiness relations. With sucha steling conmpany and such worthy representatives it is no wonder that the Louisiana Equitable holds high rank in the public estimation.

Tay, Cirovanes CAss.--Yestcrday Judge Hahn arrived from St. Charles for the purpose of assuming the bench of our District Count to consider the case of the statc ea rel., Attorney Gon cral ct ale., ms. Jno. A. Cheovers, which had been assigned for trial that day. Owing, it seems, to a misunderstanding between senior and junior counsel for the defendant, no answer had been fled in accordance with the agreement en tered into when the case was previously fixed for trial. Under the circumstances the case had to be postponed. Upon suggestion of counsel for plaintiffs the Judge ordered that the case be reas signed for trial on the third Monday of July, the Pith ultimo, to which day the court accordingly adjourned. Judge Hahn essayed to retujyn to Hlahuvillo yesterday but missed the train and was compelled to lay over until to-day. He was a guest in the family of District At torney Earhart, between whom and Judge Hahn a friendship of long stand ing exists. The Judge honored the CuIuEF office wfth a brief call during his stay. The Blue Store is determined to take the load for cheap goods. ExcuastoN.-Th6 Blue Bucket Fire Company of Donaldsonville will cele brate the national holiday by an excur sion to Napoleonville, leaving here on a Mlatbuat next Saturday, the 3rd day of July, at 8 o'clock, A. M. returning Sun day evening. Tickets for the round trip have been placed at the very low figure of 75 ceuts each, which should of itself insuro a large sale. The boat engaged for the trip will be fitted up in first-class style and every possible arrangement calculated to' contribute to the conven ience and enjoyment of the excursion ists will be made. The Blue Buckets hope to replenish an -enfeebled treasury with the profits of this festival and we hope their friends and the public gener ally will contribute liberdly to the suc cess of the affair. There will be music and dancing en route and a grand ball and musical festival at Napoleonville Saturday night. The committee of ar rangements is composed as follows : V. C. Cantrell-, chairman ; Jos. A. Duffil, conductor; Jos. Thompson, treasurer; Emanuel Bercier, Chas. Shallowhorn and Norbert Brand. The Napoleonvillo com mittee consists of Messrs. Gus. Nicaud, chairman; Joseph Nelson and John Williams. Good family flour at Gondran's for $6 and $6 'o0. AR RMs OF A MuDnEaRR.-On Monday last, at an early hour of the morning, in the Smoke Bend neighborhood, Sheriff P. A. Jones of this parish apprehended a colored man named Jerry Washington, a fugitive from justice charged with hav ing murdered Andrew McCormack, an other colored man, on Mr. Thos. Pugh's plantation in the parish of Assumption, on the 5th of June. Washington readily acknowledged his identity and gave the following version of the killing: Ho and McCormack both worked on the Pugh place. McCornmack's hog invaded Washington's potato patch upon diver's occasions, and the latter, claiming to have the sanction of the owner of the plantation, shot the animal and killed it. McCormack made this circumstance the basis of several quarrels with Wash ington, and finally, on the day of the murder, assaulted Washington, knocked him down and kicked him. As soon as Jerry could get away, he ran into his house, seized his shot-gun and emptied a charge of buck shot into McCormack's body, killing him instantly. The pris oner was conveyed to our parish jail to await the requisition of the Assumption authorities. Sheriff Jones made the ar rest on a warrant issued by O. F. Hebert, llq., Justice of the Peace for the seventh -ward of Assumption parish. Jos.

GRAssworrit Vmicaic.-The Grasshop per Base Ball Club gave its advertised picnic on Sunday last, under the large trees on the l attnre in front of Mr. J. Adlard Brand's plantation, and although the attendance was smaller than had been anticipated, those who were pres ent seemed to have quite an enjoyable time. Mnsic from the Independent and Cofleld bands, swinging, archery, leap frog, ball tossing and the occasional ab sorption of ice cream and lemonade into the system were the attractions which served to while the time pleasantly away. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon a smart shower of rain put a temporary stop to the amusements, but the pic nickers sought shclter in Mr. Brand's freight warehouse and neighboring cab ins until the brief rainfall was at an end. Between 3 and 4 o'clock the party left the picnic grounds and walked up to Brand brothers' pasture, opposite Don aldsonville, to witness a match game of base ball between the Grasshopper and Burnside clubs. The ground was uneven and damp, a stiff breeze sprung up and there seemed an imminent prospect of more rain, hence the game was called at the third inning and the boys concluded to defer their contest to a snore favora ble time and place, viz: next Sunday, on the public square in Donaldsonville. After returning across the river in the Little Minnie and the large flat she towed, the bands united and marched down front street, thence to Iberville, thence to Railroad Avenue, Attakapas street, the public square and into Phc nix Mall, followed by the ball players and sundry picnickers, armed with bats and umbrellas and going through the manual of arms under the command of the Capt. of the Burnside club. A drink of lemonade all around at the refresh nent table provided in connection with the Independent Band's promenade con cert, coincludmedl the picnic expcriences of the day. We hope that the continued eufoiccmnent of the salutary Suniday law will give our young men frequiemmt oppor tuiiitics hereiiftcr to get up piciuls and other festivals tfin thme amusement of theimislves and their lady friends. Snakes as Life Destroyers. The loss of life in India due to the ray ages of venomous smakes is almost in credible. Yet the disease which is as wily and deadly as the deadliest India reptile, is winding its coil around thou sands of people while the victims are un conscious of its presence. It has long been a hobby with incompetent physi cians to assumre that consumption is in curable after the formation of tuihercles has begun ; and in every case they fail to effect a curo-of course tuberc'es had begun to form and they wero incurable. The records of medical science disprove any such theory. On the contrary, in cases of lung disease which had been cured and the patients lived forty and fifty years in robust health, post-mortem examinations showed large cicatrices (scars) where the tubercles had been formed and removed. The tubercles are removed by absorption into the blood. An eflicient alterative, Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery, must be used to cleanse the blood of scrofulous impuri ties. For tubercular consumption, is on ly a form of scrofulous disease. Golden Medical Discovery is a sovereign remedy for all forms of scrofulous disease, or king's-evil, such as tumors, white swell ings, fever-sores, scrofulous sore eyes, as well as for other blood and skin diseases. Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic prevents mala ria. Experience in every branch of business ensures success.

On Tuesday District Attorney Earhart filed a suspensive appeal to the Supreme Court from the injunction so far as it presumed to affect the State of Louisiana represented by himself. Judge Cheevers promptly granted the appeal, which is made returnable on the third Monday of next January, at New Orleans. - Proceedings wore at once instituted in Justice Butler's court against the parties who kqpt their stores and places of busi ness open last Sunday in violation of the Police Jury's ordinance, and-the follow ing were arrested and required to furnish bonds in the sum of $30 each for appear ance in the District Court: Messrs. Si mon Moyse, Maas Tobias, S. Weinschenck, E. L. Weber, J. J. Lafargue, Fred. Rogge, Andrew Spies, Gustave Israel, Paul Lo fevre, Emanuel Bercier, Jos. A. Duffel, Casimir Martin. Mr. Jos. Gondran is also one of the offenders but ho was ab sent from town when the arrests were made. Messrs. A. Gfuazzini, Prudhomme Mollere, E. Ramirez and Thos. O'Malley also kept their places of business open, but the necessary papers have not yet been prepared in their cases. Following is a list of the parties who, in spite of the strenuous expostulations of the opponents of the Sunday law and the extra-judicial assurances of town of ficers that they would suffer no penalty for disobeying the law, kept their places of business closed. We shall designate this list a ROLL OP HONOR. Bernard Lemann, M. Israel & Co., U. Kline, A. Rougean, J. F. Park, Singer Agency, A. D. Vega, Alfred Gnigou, Francis Vicknair, John Solozano, Mrs. J. Letuuas, Mtrs. M. lium. In case we have omitted any names which should be included in the list, it will give us pleasure to supply the onis sion hereafter. These parties are to le commended as good citizens, who place obedience to law above the considera tion of a little temporary pecuniary loss and business inconvenience. We believe all who follow the example thiy have set will reap an ultimate reward that will more than compeisato for disadvan tages sustained at present. Outside of town, we hear of only two stores that opened: that of Gleo. A. Fei" ill Port Barrow, and one in Smoke Ileld. The prohlrltore were both arrested. Mr. Feig furnished an appearance bond and the other party, whose name we have nut learned, is said to have paid the tine mi posed. To-day a rule was taken on District Attorney Earhart to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court in violating the injunction granted against the Sunday law, by prosecuting parties who opened their places of busi ness last Sunday. The rule was signed by Judge Ch'evers yesterday, but, as in the case of the injunction proceedings, the papers were not filed until Saturday evening, and service was not made upon the District Attorney until after 11 o'clock, though ho was commanded to appear and make his answer at 4 1'. M. A large crowd gathered at the Court house to witness the trial of the rule, and the anti-Sunday law element fondly hoped to see our vigilant District Attor ney placed in default for doing his duty, but the expectation was disappointed. Mr. Earhart took the ground that sufli cient time had not been allowed him to respond to tie rule, and his argument was ably seconded by Mr. Frederick Duffel; R. N. Sims, Esq., counsel for the town authorities, argued to the con trary, but subsequently acknowledged that a further delay should be granted. Judge Cheevers recognized the justice of the demurrer, and ordered that the mat ter lie reassigned for Monday, the 19ti of July. We think it may be accepted as a sound proposition of law that the State of Louisiana, represented by its Attorney General and District Attorneys can not be enjoined from proceeding with the execution of a statute prescribing a pen alty for a crime or miAlemeanor. If prosecution of violators of the Sunday law can be enjoined, why should not vio lations of the statutes against murder, arson or larceny be amenable to suspen sion by the same process and at any time it suited the convenience of law breakers to seek immunity by this reme dy! The idea seems absurd on its face, and it is so pronounced by every lawyer whom we have heard express an opinion on the subject. The Sunday law should be respected and obeyed until the suit instituted to test it is decided by the Supreme Court. Our citizens and merchants will find in this course of action thieir only safety from the penalties prescrilbed For infraau tion of its provkions. f fl~k ebi5 e#t*e i nEf s5r Ap mtiass m ncep in the r the jtwarlsh e freesaew I4 t pope of trif gtho sdisfr.
