SBTURDAY, SEPT. •>. 1885 .
r —Senator Dcrnas lias been nominated
for Congress iu tlie second D strict of
Louisiana by tlie Republican party.
,—Mr. Cragiu cf DuLac plantation on Ba
yon Graud Cailloit lias sent to this office a
Sugar cane with 20 full ripe joints al! over
1J iueh in diameter.
— At a flood in Western Texas some
days ago more than 100 persons were drown
ed, and quantities of live stock were car
ried away.
Beauty Regained. —The beautyty and
color of hair may he safely regained by
ttsuing Parker's Hair Balsam, which is
much admired for its perfume, cleanliness
and dandruff eradicating properties.
—As the rolling season approaches, the
time to buy Charter Oak Stoves from S. T.
Grisamore is at baud, who has a large as
sortmeut of Croceery and Cutlery suitable
for sugar house wants.
—Arkansas has had an elec! ion for Gov
ernor, giving a large Democratic majority
Vermont has also had an election and gone
Republican. No body has been badly sur
prised in either case.
—At a meeting of the American Associa
tion for the advancement of science held
in Elmira New York in August 1882 our fel
low citizen George C. Taylor was elected
second vico-President.
.—Among the marriage notices in the
Times-Democrat of last Tuesday is found
that of Anatole Panalle to Miss Susan
"Washington.
The Custom House seems to have had
a matrimonial effect upou our townsman.
It is the general impression that the Re
publican party is a God and morality par
ty in which there is no guile. In 1880
the census says that there were iu Indiana
468044 males over 21, yet there wero cast
470603 votes. As the gain was all on the
Republican side, these extra votes wero
evidently cast by the pious Republican.
Gov. McEnery has appointed Thomas
Courtland Manning, of Alexandria, As s o
ciate Justice of the Supremo Court in place
of William M. Levy deceased. A wise and
judicious selection. The appointee was on
the Supreme Bench when the present cons
titution went into operation and which va
cated his office.
-■-Six pills at once- What a dose to enter
a delicate stomach ! Nonsense. There is no
use in craming your stomach with such dis
gust mg medecines. Discard your pills and
semi fora bottle of Bailey's Saline Aperient,
it is cheap, very pleasant, never failing aud
warranted to give satisfaction.
—.The Mississippi River commission met
in New york August 28 1885.
Major Richardson Chief of the Board of
State Engineers, and Hou.D. F. Kenner ad
dressed the commission urging the neeessi
ty of adding $100,000.00 to the state Funds
to rebuild levees below Red River. Only
$50000.00 were recommended for that pur
pose
—People, who cannot comprehend the
principle of a .i?My, have only to look at
the effect of the high water la«t spring, in
front of Thihodaux. The battures that
ordinarily form along the bank, especially
on the North side of the Bridge structure
are washed away, leaving only the original
banks of the bayou. A full stream with an
increased current very effectually dredged
all the loose deposits and carried them
away.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Iberia Star ends an article
on the Congressional election thus :
With Kellogg - and Ackleu as ri
vals, ami Danall oblivioued, the
only alternative left to Judge Beat
tie is to run as an independent can
didate, in which case he might pos
sibly be elected.
The Ibetia Journal says:
Iberia parish is solid for Senator
Win. Pitt Kellogg to the 48th. Con
giess Third Congressional District.
J1 is majority will be over 1000 in
this parish.
The Morgan City Review adds:
If any one doubts, let him trouble
himself to inquire, as we have, and
he will not be long in discovering
that Hon. Taylor Beattie is lirst
choice of both white and black, and
not only in St. Mary buc iu all the
adjoining parishes. As between
Beattie, Kellogg and Aculen, Sir.
Beattie lias the call, most decided
ly, ''and don't you forget it.''
—The best remedy for exerting a power
ful tonic effect on the muscles governing
and coutruling the action of the heart, is
Brown's Iron Hitters.
-^The Tinus-Democrat continues to as
touish die natives and marines.
Its two Mammoth editions of August 2G
and September 1 1882 surpass anything ol
the kind ever gotten up in New Orleans. It
not only gives statistics and information of
the city of great importance but also of
half a dozen Southern States.
Success to such enterprise. It merits
atul will obtain success.

—It is enough to make a fellow shake
his loose ribs out with laughter to read the
N. Y. Sun end other northern papers of the
same stamp.
The Editors of the New York City papers
climb up to the top of the tall columns
over their offices, and with a copy of the
River and Harbor Bill that Arthur could
not veto, in their hands they gaze around
their city and see works made at the ex
peiuc cf the National Government that
have probably cost 500 millions of dollars,
then they wave the river and harbor hill,
of 1882 over their heads in which five mil
lions are given to the improvement of the
Mississippi liver, aud bawl out''steal, steal

It is not the first time that rascals with
pockets full of plunder have been yellow
iug thief, thief, thief, to distract the aiten

'I LOST MY MASSA WHEN DEY SET ME
Fit ee. —The latest song jewel from the great
Mific Publishing House of the Soulh.
One ofthose plaintive molodies like "Ohl
Black Joe,'' lliat touch the hearts of all.
Us subject is a faithful old time servant
whom freedom lias not used kindly, and
from whom the memories of "Ole Masters''
and the "Oie Plantation" call forth the
patliet c lament:
'T am getting old and feeble and my hair
is turning gray,
And there is no one left on earth to care
for me.
And the hoe-cakes in the cabin they grow
scarcer every day,
Since I lost my massa when dey set me
free."

and dyspepsia,milky urine, etc., no longer

—The exchanges say that there
is a great deal of sickness in the ov
erflowed Parishes of this State. In
Lafourche such a healthy season has
not been experienced for many
years.
If the duty on Sugar bad been re
moved, the old jlink man could

—And every Republican Senator

Opelousas.—E nterprise in any
town is a good thing. Live people
who are willing to unite forces and
strength to advance public welfare,
and to protect public interests are
necessary to insure prosperity and
cause progress and action. A Town
with such people, aud a tew men
who have public spirit and energy
to advocate measures for the inter
est of all the people, will always
prosper, and even if unforeseen cir
Cumst.iuces retard progress for a
while, the onward march of the pub
lie can not be stayed.
Opelousas is a town that has
been organized iu one of the most
beautiful, "healthy and productive
prairies iu the South for neai ly a
century. And in all that time it has
not reared up men enough to vote
a light tax upon themselves to eua
ble a fisc company that has gather
ed together $S00.( 0 to purchase a
Steam Fire Eugiue to protect the
houses in which they live from be
iug destroyed by fire. The Fire
Company ought to spend five do!
lars and buy a leather medal 'to
elevate in the public square, com
memorative ot the wonderful feat
of the property holders in their
town iu voting down a proposition
to raise a small tax to buy an appa
ratus to save their property in time
of danger.
Why, Thihodaux, that was not
dreamed of until years after Ope
lousas imagiued she was a big
town, has a Steam Engine, a hand
Eugiue, a Hook aud Ladder Co.
and a dozen lire wells, and wfeenev
er the firemen ask for any reasona
ble aid it is always given promptly
and cheerfully.
Any property bolder who would
raise auy objection would be boot
ed out of town by the little boys.
Mr. David D. Jones, cf Parkersburg, W.
Va., writes: "I experienced for many years
great annoyance and suffering from rheurna
tis:n and weakness of the kitlueys, aud my
bowels were almost irregular. I tried
Brown's Iron Bitters, whicli acted like a
chamrestoring me at once to regular health
end banishing all pain from my body."
—Now that September is here
you can eat as many oysters as you
please, provided that you can get
them.
—The Tariff Commission have
had sessions iu Ciucinnatti and
Louisville.
Leading commercial citizens in
those cities heve argued before the
committee, against any reduction
of Tariff on Sugar or Rice.
— The "Can't Get-a way Club" of
New Orleans will give an excursion
to Chicago on Saturday Sept. 16
1882 at 5:30 P. M. by the Jackson
Route. Excursionists will have the
privilege of returning on any regu
lar train uutil sept. 30.
Round Trip only $17.00.
This is a good chance for any one
to visit the west at a low rate.
—Yesterday a little blustering
weather indicated that the storms
or cyclones that have been sactaee*
ing about the Gulf of Mexico late
ly bad produced same effect iu this
region.
—Yellow Fever exists on the Rio
Grande and at Pensacola. It is
not probable that it will spread
this fall.
WIlio trial of the Star Route
swindlers has beeu going on for
some jime, aud has beeu given to
the jury.
—The war in Egypt continues.
It is difficult to keep posted ou its
movements.
—The Congressional race in tbis
Congress District is warming up*
The friends of the various candi
dates are not idle.
Beattie and Acklen are personal
ly engaged in visiting the voters,
in the. different Parishes.
Let the people awaken, this is an
important election.
—The Republicans though? they
had a Bonanza when they trapped
Malione and went for the indopen
dents with as much vim as a terrier
does for a rat.
Now they have an independent
running against Ilowk in Tonnes
see, one running against their (lar
ling Chalmers iu Mississippi, Kel
logg is running independent against
Beattie in Louisiana anil thsee or
four im'.opeudeiGs tun in their
strong district in South Carolina*
So by their beioveil independents
they are likely to lose the only Dis
triers in the South in which they
hail a chance to elect members of
Congress, ilui rail for Mahon ism !
—The Marquis of Lome, Cover
nor of Canada and his wife, a dangh
ter of Queen Victoria of England
are making a visit to Calafornia.
We have conversed this week
with several planters from differ
ent sections of the prnirin and they
all agree that the crops look better
and promise more this year than
they have done for years back.
With a favorable season more cot
ton will be made than can be ga
thered.— Mark&villc Bulletin.
—And now the festive inn'e
Trader is about and the \ nice ol the
mule is heard in the land. Messrs.
Crosier of Kentucky and Drexler
of Missouri arrived this week with
droves of stock.
—Of all men who appreciate good
roads commend us to the drum
mer and the peddler.
Iu St. John parish the people
pay taxes and licenses exactly the
same as in other parishes, although
there is now in power there a Po
lice Jury from whicli the people
were led to hope for an entire ex
emption from such burdens. It
waseupposed that, with the disap
pearaneeofaRadic.il Police Jury
and i he installation of one appoint
ed by his Excellency, everything
would be happy and prosperous,
and that such things as luxes and
licenses would be unknown except
iu memory.— St. Charles Herald.
—The abeve is a fair sample ot
the senseless twaddle of the Radi
cal Press. After that party has
stolen millions horn tiic people of
Louisiana in taxation, when the
power to continue to plunge their
bands in the public Treasury is
taken away, mica stutt'as the above
is beard from them.
