We have paid frequent visits to the

We have paid frequent visits to the
Infirmary which has been recently es-
tablished in this city by Drs. Will
liams. Cutliff and Clay. Having given
the building a careful inspection, and
examined the patients, we are prepar
ed to make full and fair report.
These gentlemen, with commenda-
BILE enterprise and laudable ambition
to advance the cause of medical sci
ence, have gone to great expense in
fitting up an elegant hospital. and
everything is now arranged to render
the patients comfortable. The rooms
are large and well ventilated, and ex-
perienced nurses are always in readi-
ness to carry out the instructions of the
physicians, and to minister to the wants
Of the sick. We would advise all per-
sons in our city, who are deprived of
the inestimable privilege of being nurs-
ed by gentle woman, to go to the mfr
mary when they require medical at
tention. All expenses for nice paivate
room will not cost as much per day as
two visits from physician.
We can confidently recommend this
institution to all who are laboring I'M
der chronic diseases, and also to those
who require surgical treatment. Drs.
Williams and Clay have acquired cele-
brity in New Orleans. New York, and
also in Confederate hospitals. as scien-
tific operators; and DIR. Cutlif was
esteemed as one of the best, the kindest
and most attentive surgeons in the G..
s. army in Vicksburg. We hope the
community and the profession will
unite in sustaining this excellent insti-
tuition, and that our city and parish au-
thorities will continue to make suita-
BILE provision for the INDECENT sick who
may be so fortunate as to secure wards.
Humanity and self-interest alike ap-
peal to US to aid this enterprise. To
the brethren of the profession we will
add, that visitto the Infrnary, when
in Shreveport. would be instructive
and interesting, and we are authorized
to extend cordial invitation to all.
The above notice of the Medical
and Surgical Infrmary," Shreveport,
and the commendable efforts of the
worthy, skillful and energetic gentle-
men who have established the same,
from the pen of DR.. Drury Lacy, Of the
Caddo Gazette. is deservedly appro-
| pirate and fit to be made, as we can
testify, from personal knowledge Of the
ability and experience of the gentle
men who have the Infrmary in charge.

Last Fall the Democrats loved the
soldiers, they ran a soldier candi-
date, Durbin Ward, in this district
for Congress, they organized "boys
in grey" and called them "true
blues" they swallowed their record
and tried to swallow the soldiers
But the "boys In blue" would not
bite at the bait; they remembered
the past record of the party and did
not vote that ticket ENOUGH to hurt.
Enraged by this, and satisfied that
they could not hope to get the SOL
dier's vote now or hereafter they
proposed to diJrGaehise them.
Hon. Christ Hughes, member from
this county, offered an amendment
to the pending amendment to the
Constitution "disfranchislng all
members ofthe Grand Army Of the
Republic" and every Democrat in
the House Representative voted for
it /! Do you hear that boys, and
do you think they will ask you for
votes next Fall? They will, be-
cause that amendment was rejected,
but they meant to deprive you OF
any vote; bear it in mind Ham

- Keep your boy a boy while he
is a boy; well-behaved, polite
boy; no milksop boy tied to his
mothers skirts, but still a boy; not
a weakling fop, a precocious snob,
a conceited monkey, aping the airs
and acquiring the habits of grown
I'D dandies and fast characters
Don't make a self indnlgent small
gentleman Of him. Teach him to
wait upon and take care of himself,
and to respect his interiors and treat
them courteously and kindly. Pray,
save from the surdity of a cane and
kid gloves, and garments that are
not suitable for downright, hearty
play. 1t may be pretty and aristo-
cratic and a sign of your opulance,

ion; but in doing so you run the
risk of spelling him for any robust
and useful living.
