Some of the Republican members
ot Congress amused themselves the
other day by getting a long pole
and stming up the monkeys, but
in doing so they aroused a sleepiug
lion. It is safe to assert that they
will not worry General Joe Wheeler
any more, but give him a wide
berth iu the future.

It is to be sincerely hoped that the
States will uot go into conniption
tits over the defeat of tbe Morrison
Tariff Bill. The country can sur
vive all such disasters as tbe fail
ore of tbe Morrison act.
Let tbe States rest contented.
A little cold water pouied on top
of tbe bead ofentimes does good in
cooling down fever that is produced
from a strong imagination.
Mrs. Cleveland is winning golden
opinions since her marriage. Her
greatest charm is said to be ber ge
nial manners and simplicity of char
acter.
All tbe ladies of Washington
rushed to tbe White House the first
opportunity that was presented to
see and^congratnlate ber.
The evidence of her simplicity
wasfoand, in a remarkable instance,
in ber wedding dress that cost
$500.00 in Paris.
The Capitolian Advocate publish
ed a strong article^ the other day,
iu favor of the reduction of the ap
propriations made by the Legisla
tute so as to bring the amount with
in the limit of taxes to be collected, :
This is the proper thing to be j
done. Not a of dollar appropriation j
should be voted unless the taxation :
would cover it.
it is high time that Legislators
should be made to recognize the
fact that debts should not be made
l>\ their votes unless there are
wa^s and means ahead to meet ;
them at the proper time.
The C'.-.d. then adds :
"The one eighth mill taken
from the General Fund which was
; given tO the School Flltld sllOUbl
and the appropriations for the sup
be restored to the General Fuud
port of the universities should be 1
made from the Educational Fund 1
. ,,ii „
where thev belong. 7
...... e ... ;
Now, this thing of robbing the
School Fuud for the safety of the
General Fund, is just as reprehen
sible aud as impolitic as making ap
propriations without contriving
ways and means to liquidate them.
The money that is given to the
universities has nothing to do with
the fund for public schools, not a
particle more tbau the Levee Fund
does.
Universities do not benefit the
Public Schools : they are schools
for people who are able to send
their children to them and are of
little or no service to the masses
of pupils.
The C.-A. should begin to look
for reductions elsewhere.
It has uot a word to say about
bills, brought in by representatives
to ; pay $5000.00 for a few worthless
maps, to compel parishes to have '
maps made at great expense
that they do not need, to dig canals
about Batou Rouge to drain the '
frog ponds in the viciuity, aud tor
fifty other purposes.
Keep the General Fund flush, j
but to do so, rob the School Fuud. I
Let the children of the poor grow i
up in ignorance, but keep the Gen ;
eral Fund full to pay jobs that the
Legislators may bavea finger iu.
The criminal expenses of this
State are double wbat they should j
be, but we see no effort to reduce I
them, and relieve the people of!
some of the burdens they are com
pelled to hear.
It is time to hunt some other
means to fill ap the General Fuud
besides pounciug on and robbing
the School Fuud. Stop the mine
cessary and uncalled for leaks in
the General Fund aud there will
be ample means to pay all claims
against it, without depriving the
children of the masses of the privi
lege of receiving a common school
education.
One of tbe most siugnlar freaks
of nature, iu the way of dispensing
rain, occurred some ten days ago,
in the neighborhood of Alexandria,
on Red River.
It is reported that over that sec
tion ot country the rainfall, inside
of 24 hoars, was 28 inches. The
Marksville Review says;
We hear that there was at least
a foot of water over the banks of
Red River from Egg Beud down.
The River rose between eighteen
aud twenty feet during tbe late
rain and submerged all tbe crops
from above point down, with tbe
exception of those ot Messrs Bette
vy, Ware, Moreau and Coco, which
were protected by levees.
Iu the rear of Alexandria, over a
country similar to tbe lands iu |this
vicinity, the water covered every
thing, and rushed by way of Ba
yous Rapides, Castille aud others
so rapidly into the river as to cause
the rise above mentioned.
It is said that at Cane river
some 20 miles above, where there
had been no rain that the current
of Red River was reversed aud
rau up stream.
It was a remarkable pheuome
non, to sUy tbe least of it.

tor and iuvigorator, is sold by Roth A

The pension business has become |
an enouuous load upon the Goveru j
meat, and at the present date is (
one of the boldest and most brazen
species of public pluuder that was
ever sprung upoa the Cougiess of

j Whilst we candidly admit that '
: every soldier iu the aiiuv of the
United States, who has been disa |
bled or contracted disease iu theser
vice, that unfits him for labor
should be libeially pensioned by
the Government, it is a disgrace to
; civilization to conduct the peusiou
business as is now ( doue by the dem
agogues of both houses of Cougiess.

Any man who has stumped his
toe nail off within the last few years
has only to demand a pension on
the plea that the accident occurred
because he was in the army 15
years ago, and a peusiou will be al

Men, who served in the war with
out ever haviug been wouuded
or sick, and were discharged at the
end of their enlistment, are now 7
making the discovery that they con

tlie House shall be present to pass
auv more pensions.
The President has sent a message
to Congress, requesting that all,
pension bills should be passed only '
in a full hoase.
The way things are going on, it
will not be long before a man who
once thought of going into the army .
will be seeking tbe bounty of Gov
erniueut, aud a bill aud to pension
all the sisteis, cousins and aunts
that a soldier may have.
The ugliest feature about this
matter is that ;ull these demands,
now granted by Congress have been
refused by the Peusiou Bureau as
untenable.
Let every soldier disabled either
by pounds or disease, or who has
become nuable to earn his living
since, ou account of age or other
disability, be pensioned, but itought
to stop there.

Miss Anna Johnson, of 24 Front street^
Columbus, Ohio, says: " I suffered from
an aggravated form of constipation and
indigestion for several months. My fam
ily physician tried all kinds of medicines
and pills, but to no effect. 1 began to think
my case was a hopeless one. A friend of
mine (Mrs. Elvira Redmond,of East Long
■ street, this city), called,and seeing the con
dition I was in, recommended me to try
your Mahauh. I must say I had but little
faith in the medicine, but after I had taken
a few doses I was convinced that Mana
lis was the medicine for me. After I
had taken one bottle I was entirely well
of my complaint. I consider it one of the
best remedies for constipation I have ever,
used. I have several friends who ere us
ing it. They think it an excellent remedy.
I recommend it to all who are afflicted
with constipation or indigestion. Any
one doubting this statement is invited to
call on me at 24 Front street"
Mr. Milton Knotts, Urbana, O., writes:
* Last November one year ago I was tak
en sick, and called in our family physician.
He examined me and said I had symp
toms *f typhoid fever. He gave me
medicine for two weeks or more with
out any relief. I began to think that my
days on earth were fast closing in. I
saw at once that his medicine would
not reach my disease. Just as I was about
to conclude that I would have to die, my
daughter brought me one of your pamph
lets. I noticed a case whose symptoms
were like mine, and Pebcxa and Maxa
Lix had cured him. I concluded at once
to try it I procured one bottle of Prbc
ha and one of Maxalix, and took them
as directed, and beiore I had used the two
bottles I began to receive strength and
gain in flesh. I finished the rest of the
two bottles and continued its use until
the third bottle was used. When they
were used I could cat anything I wanted
to and go about my work. I consider
that if it hadn't been for your Phscxa I
would have been in my grave. Parties
wishing information can write me at tha
above place. I recommend your medi
cine wherever I go."
Mr. John R. Davis, Moundsville, W.
Va., writes: " I have been handling
your Pxritna ever since its introduction.
All who have used it speak highly of its
curative properties. I consider it a reli
able remedy."
Mr. George Fisher, Portsmouth, O.,
writes : " I am handling your Peruna,
and having a good trade on it. It give*
splendid satisfaction."
