We cannot afford to work for glory. much less promises. Aprrl let 1882. The Sunday's cool angel must be an ice angel. - It is the poll-light candidate who does not run well. The rainy weather has apparent ly laid up for repairs. A Cincinnati barber uses Arabi Bey rum. To be faithful without loving is to have the patriotism of vir tue. Love comes when we expect it the least and when we dread it the most. The Republicans of Calcasieu will support Beattie in the coming W election and not Kellogg. Out of three or four hundred Republican votes in this parish Kellogg will get about fifty and Beattie the balance. At Yokohama, out of 775 cases of cholera within twenty days, 572 cases have proved fatal. At Tokoi about eighty cases and fifty deaths occur daily. Brookshier's steam ginnery will soon be in operation, and will bring more or less business to town. It is such enterprise as this which tend to build up a town and develop. the surround ing country. Our young friend Isaac Wise, retarned on Monday last, after an absence of several months upon an extensive European tour. He is looking the very picture of health and has had a most enjoya ble time of it. pnring the progress of the Moore murder trial there was an immense throng in attendance and marked interest was manifested in the entire proceedings. The witnesses were in the custody of deputy sheriff Ellis, and held no communication with outsiders. We are pained to learn of the recent death, from typhoid fever, of Mr. T. A. BABIN, of New Iberia. He was the former assessor of that parieh, and his many good qualities had won for him a host of friends, who lament his removal in the prime of life. Onr compliments are due to Mr. W. B. Lindsay, Secretary. Lafayette Gun Club, for an invi tation to attend the Grand Bull tp be given by that body on Satur-i day next, at the magnificent La. Western Hotel, Veruailionville. Judging from the personnel of the c eb, it will he a recherche affair. MIRE IS ACQUITTED .dNEXCITIXG TRI4L EJNDS On Tuesday begun one of the most important murder trials in the criminal annals of this parish. The mystery sourrounding the af fair and the cruel manner'. of Theo. Leblanc's taking, off con spired to lend an unusual interest to the case. Theo. Leblane was killed in Voorhies Trahan-'s coffee house, on the night of January 1st 1877, and last March the Grand Jury indicted Felix Moore for the crime. The entire morning was con sumed in empanneling the jury. The evidence for the State occu pied the remainder of the day and was resumed, Wednesday, Thurs day evening about 3:45 the case was given to the jury wh4retired and after an absence of about 15 minutes returned with a verdict of not guilty. The case was bitterly contested %n both side" The State was represented by Hon. J. A. Char o-s who prosecuted ,with his usu al r. Messrs. W. W. Ed wa wars, Col. W U. C. medes co uc tht with marked t y The arguments of counsel, were replete wifh eloquence and erudi tion. Judge Clegg's charge to the jury was exceptionally brill iant and lucid. One day last week a snag boat ascended the bayou above Abbe ville, a piece, pulled- out a few stumps and left the next day, and we see in the New Qrleans Daily Democrat that $5000 of the recent appropriation for the improvement of Vermilion Bayou has been ex pended, Now we wish to know how and where the Work has been done. Five thousand dollars for a day's work at stamp pulling is rather a fat job for some fellow who can easily contribute his little 60 per cent to Bill Kellogg's cam paign fund and' then realize a Dutchman's 500 per cent Qn the transaction! Will the Protection ist please explian this little mat ter ? FABLE OF TmE BEAR AND Fox. -A Bear boasted of his love for man, say ing that he never worried or disturbed him when dead. The Fox observed with a smile, "I should have thouht more of your profession if you never ate him alive." - Moral : Better save a man from dying, than save him when dead. How true of man is that maxim to this day. Men and women, here, there, everywhere, deplore and lament death-bed scenes, yet pay so little at tention to each other's welfare during life. All tears after death, but no smiles before. The health of wives and daugh ters is shattered, and their lives im perilled by some chronic female com plaint, which is permitted to continue until the whole constitution is broken down. Don't procrastinate until these poor creatures are dead, but go to work nowe and work continuously until they are cured. Dr. Dromgoole's ExGLtsa FExALE Brrrsns is the remedy. It is a never-failing female regulato; and iron tonic, acting promptly and pleasantly. Cotton is opening rapidly ow ing to the present, warm dry weather, and the staple is in fine condition. Prices are anything but established and vary from $25 to $35 per thousand pounds for, seed cotton, according to the whims and caprice of the purchas er. We believe twenty seven dol lars and fifty cents per thousand is about the ruling price. Quarrantine was invented in Venice in the year 1127, all mer chant and others from the Levant or Eastern ports being obliged to stop in the house of St. Lazarus or the Lazaretto forty days before they were allowed to enter the city. Variops Southern States copied the example of Venice ; the habit was soon spread into every European country. and was introduced by the Venetians into Syria and Egypt. At - Gaza or Beyrout the guardian who former ly, with a long pole freely exer cised, kept one denizen of the La zarette from communication with another, was a Venetian, while the sick were attended by an idiot of a medio hailing from some part of Italy. who looked at them from a safe dibtance through assafretida emoke. A Huge Assessmmpt. New Orlesae City Item. We learn from the Times-Deme ocrat that the Third CongreeAen al District Republican sub cta mittee has begun a very vigorous campaign indeed, not against the opposing party, exactly, but its political friends in the first and second districts. The unprece( dented aisessment of sixty per cent upon the August salariesdf all federal employees in the city has been levied in the usual polite phrase, and each one of whom the tribute is demanded is assured of the committee's conviction that he will esteem, it both a privilege and a pleasure to pay the .small amount. The committee expects to raise $27,000 by this mean (provided all the assessed pay) but how they are going to spend such a sum of money in a sensible manber and for a useful purpose, does not appear. Nor have we seen in the paper that gives us these interesting facts, apr e rd aliusde, whence the Thir4 P t committee derives its authori as the lines and impose ful assessment upon two neigh lag friendly districts. A movement is on foot in Phil adelphia to celebrate the bi-cen tennial anniversary of the landing of Francis Daniel Pastorius, who brought over the first= Germans w"ho settled in Pennsylvania. A correspondent of the New York World says: '-In 1682 Pastorius, who was an intimate friend of William Penn, founded a society at Frankfort-on-the-Main for the purchase of land in Pennsylvania. He came over soon afterward and secured 25,000 acres where Ger mantowc now stands. On Octo ber G, 1683, the first German im migrants, thirteen families, making fifty persons in all, arrived ani settled upon 5700 acres of the land. Others soon followed, awl in a short time the settlement be came a flourishing community and Pastorius elected mayor. in 1730, Christopher Sauer, a member of the colony, established the first German newspaper in hetYiiited States. It was called the Hoch deutscher Pennsylvanischer Ges chichtschreiber -in English, the 'Pennsylvania German Historian.' The first complete Bible in Ger man in the colonies was priited at Germantown by Mr. -aueriri 1743. Pastorius was buried in Germantown,, where a street isi named in his honor. Take care of your Liver. A great number of the diseases to which man kind are liable, arise from disordered condition of this orgaf. Kee' it in a sound and healthy condition and you can defy disease. PRICKLY ASH BIr TEES are especially adapted for this purpose, being composed of gs which act on the Liver, giving i tone and strength to withstand malaria., The health bulletins from Pen sacoll and Brownsville show the usual fluctuation in such cases. At one time a slight decrease in the number of deathf from fever raises the hope that it is on the decline, but an increase the. next day brings disappointment. Those who are familiar with tl scourge are not deceived by thesa tempora ry and trifling changes. They are incidental to a yellow fever epi demic, and are two irregular to be depended upon atsigos.- In nearly all cases, yellowTever will run its course in a place in Trom sixty to ninety days. It rarely culminates before sixty, when it begins rapidly to decrease, and usually disappears a;togethcr with in thirty more. A gradual in crease may be expected, subject to occasional fluctuations, for the period first named; and the de crease is sometimes attended with the same phenomena. The afflicted citizens of the two places may as well make up their minds for at least a two months' siege.--City Item. An eminent Irish divine says that England legislates concern ing the rights of the Irish people upon the same charitable princi pie that cats 4o for mie. W4I' TD AN INTRODUC' TIO N. - On a recent trip of one of the up river steamer about twenty couples of ladies and gentlemen formed and excursion party, and the cabin presented quite a so, ciable and pleasing appearance. There were, too, several ladies who had but one escort. There was also a drummer on' the boat, and not being acquainted be felt lonesome and couldn't bear the idea of not getting acquainted with some of the charming ladies. He was anxious to be introduced to the group who seemingly had but one escort, and went to Clerk Watt, asking him to do the intro ducing. The clerk said he was not acquainted himself, but noth ing would give him more ppeasure than to give the irrepressible com mercial tourist an introduction to the escort of the attractive ladies. He made him acquainted with a maw weighing 250 pounds, and at ter the two had gone through the rmalities.of an jtroductionr, the fat man told the drummer that it was a mist e about his being the escort of the ladies. "But," said the fat man, "I will show you the man who is. Do you e that per son sitting down thajP He is the escort of the ladies. He's a little deaf, though, and you will have to talk loud to him." The traveling man went over, and, after bowing to the supposed human being and stating his busi ness with him, discovered that he was merely addressing a "dummy" and, of course those who watched the fun broke out in a loud laugh. Th drummer .wanted to fight somebody on the spot, but finally came to the conclusion that discro tioi was the better part of valor. He quietly withdrew to ue horri cane deck, and wondered how he came to be so casily fooled.

Opelousas Courier : The bridge across the bayou Tesson, above the college buildings, leading from the railroad to the Catholic Church, was finished yesterday. The structure is a good one, d. travel can now go on over tMlt route. The rice crop of this parish which is larger than usual is re ported as being very fine in quali ty. Hand cleaned rice is now selling at fifty cents a`gallon which is somewhat an advance over ordinary prices. The fine laddies were out with their new truck Sunday evening and went through the bucket drill. They handled themselves very well, and bid fair to do good work when the occasion demands. The track is a perfect little beau ty and the boys may well boproud of it. N0TI. CE. LAND OFFICE at New Orleans, La. Sept. 11. 1882.
