Svre0d the Truth !

Some medical Men insist that it is undig-
infcd to advertise q remedy, however
valuable 1t may be. Queer reasoning this.
1t is like saying that an article which the
world needs should be hid in "A corner--that
benefits and blessing- may be to widely
iiffised that the means of protecting asd
restoring health should b.. close mono.
poly. and not accessible ~ all. The Argu
ment n bA,i. 1t - worse than that; it is
i~hun,an. Suppose HOSTETTERS'S BIT
TERS-Rn absolute specific for dyspepsia.
biiioushess and nervous debility--had ne
yer bean known beyond the repertoire OF
the faculty, what would have been the con-
sequence' Instead Of curing and invEo-
rating millions, the good effects of the pre-
paration would have been confined to
comparative few. There il the highest AL
thorify for saying that light should not be
hid undel bnst.el: that whatever Is ex-
eelent should be placed A. . city on
hill. where oil men can take coenizance of
it. 1t is rpon this principle that the BIT
TIERS have been advertised and continue
to be advertised in every newspaper Of any
prominence in the western hemisphere, and
that the spontaneous Testimonials in its
favor have been translated into all writ
ten languages: Thousands ENJOY perfect
health TO- day who would be languishipg
on beds of sickness if the newspapers had
not spread the truth with regard TO this sne.
qudled inriyorant and corrective far and
wide. Suppose profit has been reaped
from this publicity. Is Mst any argument
against Il! If the public health has been
protected If lives have been saved; If
the feeble have been strengthened and the
sick restored, greor good has been aG<eia-
plished; and who so mean as to grudge to
exertions thus directed their fair reward!

Un;rer.al Amnesty.-In the Fed

Lnire1sal Amnesfy.-1n the Fed
eral Senate on the 18th inst, Mr..
Stewart introduced a series of reso-
buttons declaring in favor of univer-
sal suffrage in return for universal
amnesty. We are glad that the ques-
ton of universal amnesty, says the
n. Y. News, has been preached in
Congress in any shape, but we pro-
test against any attempt to bride the
South to the acceptance of prinei'
pies that conflict with their convic-
lions Of duty and interest. 1t is un-
worthy of powerful government to
sell its, cl-mency, and barter the boon
of mercy like wares in BRIDESMAIDS
shop. Universal amnesty would set
tie many Of the most troublesome is
sues that now perplex the country,
and would strike their most efficient
weapon from the hands of the radi-
calls. But we would regret to see
the President use his high preroga-
tive Of pardon to push bargain.-
-" The quality Of mercy Is not
strained" and when Mr. johnson ex-
ercises it. we hope it will come free
~ and generously from the E1ecu-
tive hand.

Shreveport rs It Is, and what II
van b~

Look al Shreveport as it is, one OF
the most promising young cities sit
uated on the fertile banks of Red
River, surrounded on the north, east
and soutl, by ch country for cot
ton and corn. aud by rolling lands for
small grain OF every description; on
the west, in connection with the
great prairie lands, unsurpassed for
being the best adapted for stock rails
ing in the world; and now. with
these numerous inducements so near,
why should not this virgin mctropo-
lis begin to make her mark in the
great field Of noted cities. She has
at this time a population Of over
1000 inhabitants, many of whom are
large real estate owners within her
corporation, hoping that she would
rapidly advance aud rise in power,
wealth and responsibility. Why do
these T. al .s'ate owners stand idle,
and look upon their vacant lots hop
ing them to be enhanced in value by
their neighbors building! Why not
put the shoulder 10 the wheel and
pull our city out Of the mud She.
is truly in the mud, down to the +. d
clay. but are we stuck there? lsay
emphaticalIy No the time is draw
ing near when she will rise in wealth
and beauty.
For long time she has been con-
trolled by worthy gentleman as
Mayor and We hope by wise aud
worthy aldermen. But what seems
to be- the nahia Of these worthy gen

Judgment the best course to pursue
Let US reorganise the officials OF the
city, and know that the man who ".

Use. but how to act and execute and
when We have put in Office men OF
that character We will see a new face
on our sidewalks and streets and tn.
morality Of the city under existing
ordinances will startle the oldest cit
liens.
Shreveport can be made by q
proper course of administration one
of the prettiest. healthiest. riches,
and most desirable as we'll as the
most respected inland cities of the
State. This can only be done by
placing a man of industry and integ-
rity ut the helm Of the corporation,
supported by aldermen and a street
commissioner of good judgment aud
untiring industry. and men who have
city pride and enterprising spirit
Let us look to this and put men OF
that character in the respective Of
fees of the city and parish wards,
and new scene will dawn upon our
community one of startling im.
provement, health, grandeur and
beauty.

Ezcisso,1sed from Il Paris Letter
for Lodics Oniy.-It is stated tina.
"crinoline is at last entirely dfsap-
pearing in evening toilets, although
it is still seen under promenade and
morning dresses. But for evening
wear starched petticoats are now
adopted instead Of steel cages. These
petticeats are made quite plain round
the hips and have several founces
from the knee downward. About
four of these petticoats are worn at
one time. The material is muslin,
and the starch is stiff. Only very
eccentric lad@cs, and those who de-
sire to be conspicuous, are seen to-
tally without crinoline out Of doors"
Yet the same journal which gives
this as the Partisan style, seuds to
its readers a paper pattern which
Twill enable them to cut out and
make up a very we'll sitting crinoline
at home" And, moreover, States
that the real fact is that, "crinolines
arg not as yet "going out" they are
only diminishing in size. They are
still clung to with pertinacity which
has never, We believe, before been
,vinced for any articl. of ladies' cos
ume. They have been written at,
eered at, talked at, INCREASINGLY for
en- years or more. Punch has lav-
led endless critical shafts against
Ilese apparently offending garments,
Mt all to 70 avail The case at ands
nus for outdoor wear small round
rinolines are worn, and for evening

ed neither for morning nor evening

reasons not necessary to mention,
never did equal Lees army. With

passed, in my Judgment, in ancient,

been able to rival it." Gen. Meade
speaks of the ''bravc and gallant ad-
vances" Of the Coniederates at Get
tysburg. Hancock talks Of their
" wonderful spiri.-nothing could
have been more spirit-d,"--and Gen.
Pleasanton, describing the disgrace
full running away of the 18th army

for it by "tle combined effect upon
the imagination of the sound Of mus.
