EUREKA The editor of the New York
Evening Post has found remedy for the
little pest known as bed bugs We copy
the receipt Cor the benefit of the habltus
of boarding houses:
Many persons complain of being pes.
tered by bed bugs-;t is easy to avoid the
Inconvenience. On going TO bed, strip off
your shirt, and cover yourself from head
to foot with boiled moiasses. Let every
part Of the body be thickly covered with
it. On coming to bite you, the bugs will
stick fast in the molasses, and you can kill
them In the morning"

''You have experience" said Morillo. as
his favorite stroke was parried fer the
sixth time, 'but you will soon find the
need of strength"
.lVait till that need comes,n said La
Mutt. as he gave a thrust which came
nigh the brigand's heart.
Our hero soon found that he must re-
sort to the only trick of arms he had left.
and to this end he moved back pace. and
then made feint at the brigand's breast.
The thrust was parried, but as La Mutt
had not intended to drive his sword home,
the cross stroke only took it upon the
point. and, quick as lightning he changed
the direction of his weapon. and drove it
clear through the nricand sword arm, at
the elbow. As Morillo's arm fell to bis
side, La Mutt withdrew bis sword with
powerful effort, and then fetched his ad-
versary a blow upon the temple with its
pommel, that settled him to the ground
When the fight ended, there were only
SIX of the brigands alive. and they cried
for quarters Forty-two of their oomrads
in crime lay dead about them. and they
saw that their chief was bound and made
prisoner La Mutt found that he had lost
twenty men. 1t was loss, but then the
loss was slight VIII, . compared with the

Stark, Of BoliYer. Casseday is said to be
a clever gentleman. and il is believed will
be courteous Speaker. Con. Starke, you
know, is a widoWer. and was voted for as
the old standard bearer Of the glorious old
party for widowers-ED VINO.
E.. B. Russell was elected Clerk BY accla-
nation. Flanagan elected Door Keeper af-
ter one or two ballotings By the by the
votes were taken by viva voce and therefore
not properly by ballot. Thus the House
was organized by electing complete State
Rights set Of officers. or in the language
of the Mississippian, all Democrats. This
was effected easily and quickly.
The Senate has been organized by the
election Of Col. Pettus, Of Kemper. Presi-
dent, and Col. Bunch Secretary, both State
Rights Democrats. There were many COM
petitors for the Office Of Secretary. Pickett,
of the Free Trader, Chalmers, the son Of
Judge Chalmers, Capt. Taylor, of Marshall,
of Buena Vista and Monterey memory, all
belonging to the great unsOusked.
1t would be idle to tell you who will be
Senator. Gov. Brown is here waiting and
nursing as close as successful man as he
has been. is apt to do. His chances here
are said to be good. The Secretary Of War
is also strong. Who will be elected time
will only reveal. Gov. FOote is cheerful,
buoyant and game to the last: his message
will be carker to certain fnnctiouaries at
Washington. He will go Immediately to
California where golden promises are made
to him. They sayhe is already rich with GER
