~We ask attention to the profess
sional card OF G. c. Shakelford, ESQ.

re- If there were more of the right
sort of feeling in the world, the idea
of the MilrduKee Wisconsin, that
Gen. Grant could not do "a better
thing than to take Gen. Lee into his
Cabinet would be generally Endorsed
throughout the country. The pro-
position is at least worthy of notice,
as coming from a decided radical
paper. The following is what it has
to say:
AS to the Southern Representatives
in the Cabinet, who should they be 7
We know that in what we utter we
shall differ widely with most men in
the North, but we have held to the
opinion that 'Grant. the soldier,
Grant, the magnanimous, Grant,
elect of the people, could properly
and nObly tender one of his Cabinet
appointments to Robert E. Lee, by
al odds the first and noblest man in
the rebel Confederacy. 1t would do
vastly .Iucl to heal the sore differ.
ences between the North and South ;
it would make our lately alienated
Southern brethren feel that they had
a near place in our hearts and our
homes, and that we are now one ma,
ton, that our glory is their glory,
and that they have large share in
the success of the administrator OF
our great President.

n@-Dr. s. II. Tichenor, late of this place,
having formed a partnership with DR.. Sabert,
OF Oxford, under the firm name of Drs Itch
enor and ,Sabert, is now located at No. s
Roy al street, New Orleans, where he is pres
pared to treat consumption, and all other
diseases Of the throat and lungs with his
newly invented and justly celebrated Pull
monary IuhalAtor.' As regards that scourge
of all civilized nations, consumption, DR.,
TIchenor has been quite successful in effect
ing many positive cures, aud in no case has
he failed to afford at least Temporary relief to
all those afflicted with it who have given him
call. Eminent physicians have expressed
the opinion that should he be able to cure
only one out of each one hundred sufferers,
that his instrument is success; whereas
the Doctor has certificates to she's that he
has efsctea cures In the ratio of ninety to
one hundred cases; therefore his instrument
must be a decided success.
Or. Tichenor has secured patent for his
Inhalator for the United States but owing
t. the fact that his Office is daily crowded
with so great number of patients that he
can not attend to them all, he has consented
to sell State and county rights, and all ply
sicisns wishing to avail themselves of this
important discovery, will do well to address
him early at his office, No. 8 Royal St., New
Orleans.

Is this fast to keep
The lardsr leaue,
And cleane,
From fat of Vealss and Sheep
Is 1t to quit the dish
Of flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish -?
Is it to fast an houre,

Or show
A downCast look and SQUIRE?
NO,''ti a fast TO dole
Thy sheaf of wheat,

Unto the hungry soule.

From old debate,
And hate;
To circumcise thy life;
To show heart grief-rent,
To starve thy sin,

With pale faced dreamers all around.

And forms Of dear ones-Ol twas hard
To lay them down in the Old Church yard.
Dead-cold and lifeess-hands at rest,
Meekly folded DER the breast,
Eyes filed with joyous light,
Closed in deaths long sleep tonight.

Yet thou breathest DER my healt5;-
And its cadence is unmarried
Asst floats to me from the Old Church-yard w.

Pain can wiring the heart more

Sleep-dream sweetly-moonbeams rest

And our hearts to feel this quiet day
Thou knowest best--and is il not hard
