outlaiiglit on President Hnyes.
It reminds one ot ;i woodpecker
peeking at the Hooky Mountains.
Pa tier sou, the pretender
oiiiith Carolina, made a fourth of
July speech at Woodstock in 1
Connecticut and made a furious
!
(Communicated)
Bath Houses.
It was often been said, and
r ,
witil considerable truth, that litl- j
fonrche is one of tile most health V I
and comfortable places of resi
dence in the. summer months, of
the paiishes ot this Htate.
T(|Is ta(Jt j 1HS p ee|1 established
l»y the testimony of many peo
p] e wllO llJlY'e been fortunate
enough tt> experience many cli
mates.
But the fact that people are
tolerably comfortable here and
tjjpe from disease, is not in itself
a|sufficient argument against their
going away for a certain period
in order to obtain what at the pre
sent time. Thibodanx does not af
ford, without considerable diflicnl
ty namely, an opportunity ot fre
quently restoring the system,
enervated by weeks and monhts
of evenly warm temperature, to
that existing during the colder
mouths olKlie year.
i
Were the weather is so warm,
as it is here, that at no time with
in the twenty-four hours of the
day, can an unconfortable feel
ing of cold be produced, though
all the clothing be taken from the
person, a bad effect is experiens
ced iu the general health so far
as energy, vigor, etc., is concern
ed, although no aente sense of de
sense or discomfort is apparent.
The only proper remedy for
this trouble >s to be found in
cold water baths, and yet we
have not one of the kind in this
town.
Where some enterprising indi
vidual to sit up a place where a
cool shower bath could be taken
iu the morning, noon or evening,
lie would undoubtedly be regard
ed as a benefactor, and receive
the remuneration which his ener
gy would so decidedly merit.
Such an institution would un
questionably be patronized by
all abie to pay for it. but who are
yet unable to get away fiotn
town ; and in time, as its merits
become known, the get-aicay
would materially subside, and
Thibodanx hold an equal share of
population with any town iu the
State through summer months.
But this is not all which is de
manded in the way of the public
bathing line, as it uow stands,
the people who wish to refresh
themselves bv a plunge into an
element somewhat colder than
the atmosphere, are obliged to
make an excursion to the sea
shore or to the qity of New < >r
leans, costing considerable, and
more than a large portion of our
citizens are able to spare.
We advocate the establishment
ot public bath houses at sonu
place along the Bayou near the
town of Thibodanx.
The water of the Bayou Lufo'ir
elie is colder by several degrees
than the cistern water which Is
generally used for washing, and
by imparting the desired shock
to the system would go further to
wards improving the health and
happiness of the people than all
the physic of the doctors.
The erection of the proper faci
lities, through the action of tlu
Police Jury or Town Council,
would have the effect to givi
tin* benefit of a great desideration
at a trifling expense, which is
now beyond the reach of many
on account of poverty.
We commend these few sugges
tions to the attention of our peo
ph*. and hope speedily to see some
thing started for the benefit of
Public Bathing
The subject is one which
should actively engage the co
operation ot till citizens, the Po
lice Jury and town Council, to as
large an extent as questions usual
ly considered of much more im
portance in our everyday af
fairs. . V. Auion.

demands were made on O. Crosier for the

two several orders of Court issued to him
to produce the same.
Your Experts therefore, in order to fix
his liability on the State Tax. were coin
pelted to use liis cash book of Parish Tax
CS, and to make the proportion therefrom
as Parish Taxes anil State Taxes, are eel

Your Experts say that they have no

of whom are liable for Poll Tax.

The report of G. Schmidt, Expert (?). ap

the figures ns he found them, which, to

Wlui t (lie Kilo mis Require.
Since torpidity of the liver is the chief
cause of its disorder, it is evident that what
the bilious require is an alternatrvo stimu
lant which will arouse it to activity, an ef
lect that is iollowed by the disappearance
of the various symptoms indicative of its
derangenienr. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
invariably achieve the primary result men
tioned, uesides removing the constipation,
flatulence, heart-burn, yellowness of the
skin and whites of the' eyes, pain m the
right side and under the "right shoulder,
nausea- vertigo and sick headache, to wnioli
bilious invalids are peculiarly subject. As a
remedy lor chronic indigestion, mental des
pondency and nervousness the Bitters arc
equally efficacious, and as a reuovant of
lost vigor, a means of arresting premature
decay, aud,a source ot relief from the infir
mities to which the gentler sex is peculiar
ly subject, they may he thoroughly relied
upon.

Iu a personal difficulty between myself
and Mr. R. N. Sims, in this place, ou the
1 Jtli of June, 1877, being under an erro
neous impression regarding a certain fact
connected with a certain law suit (lending
in the District Court of Assumption parish
wherein a question of appeal arose ; said
erroneous impression being that the deci
sion of the District Court would he siihmit
teh to. whereas Mr. Sims says he intended
the decision ,<f the Supreme Court, aud
never intended at any time to create the
impression on my mind that the District
Court was meant. 1 believing from conver
sations had with him and mv counsel that
the decision of the District Court would
he final, and believing that my belief as to
that fact was erroneous. I hereby ret ract
the language used by me towards Mr.
Sims, ou tlie said 13th of June, 1877, and
