DIED

On Sunday evening, at his residence
in this Town, in the seth year of his
age, GEORGE w. SOUTHWICK, Ed
itor and Proprietor of the Rapides
Gazette.
The deceased came to Rapides in
1862, and has been resident of our
Parish ever since. He was a man of
varied information, experience and
education; had seen much of the world,
and on several occasions filed posi-
tions of eminence and trust under the
Government. For the past year he
has been publishing and editing the
Rapides Gazette, the Radical organ in
this Town. To his credit, however,
be it written, he conducted it in fair
and impartial manner, and never gave
just offence to anyone. We knew him
well and are free to say that at heart
he was one of us and for ns-and Moth
ing but stern necessity placed him in a
false position before the people of the
Parish.
He leaves wife and three children,
who will long mourn his loss, and
weep for their protector and true
friend. In their sad bereavement they
have our heartfelt sympathy.

- AS the trials of life thicken, and
the dreams of other days fade, one by
one in the deep vista of disappointed
hope, the heart grows weary of the
struggle, and we begin to realize our
insignificance. Those who have climb
ed to the pinnacle of fame, or revel in
luxury aud wealth, go to the grave at
last with the poor medicant who begs
by the ayside, and like him are soon
forgotten. Generation after genera

Yesterday afternoon gentleman NAM

for the foundation of a house. Near
the roots of an old tree that had long
ago been cut down, Mr.. Pate was freely
using his spade, when suddenly it
struck something solid and apparently
immovable. Digging around the OBJ
ject it was soon brought to light.
1t proved to be small iron chest,
rusty, but heavy and SOLID. 1t was at
once removed from its bed under the

DE4IINE OF THE REpuBr1IcaY Parry.

DECLINE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The Republican party cannot do
much on the money question, and it
must look to something else for
new leading idea. General Grant
might give them the winning war
cry on the Alabama claims, or on the
Cuban question, or on the Mexican
question but General Grant seems
to have settled down to the inglori-
Gus policy Of mastery inactivity, the
policy of taking things quietly and
trusting to luck, He seems to for
get that though elected for his first
term on his great and glorious
achievements as soldier, he will be
Judged as candidate for q second
term upon his merits and achieve
mepts as a statesman. He seems to
depend upon his party, while his par
ty depend upon him to clear the way
for succession, and this is the road
to defeat. Indeed, it appears to us
that the only alternative to the adj
ministration and the party behind it
to avoid discords, divisions, and de-
feat is the popular idea of annexa-
ton, in the settlement of the Ala
bama claims, the Cuban or the Mexi-
can question, On the idea of the
annexation of Texas comparatively
obscure Tennessee politician defeated
the great statesman of Kentucky,
and personally the most popular
man of that day. So now even the
popularity of General Grant will not
save him and his party if they fail to
take new departure.-LNew York

Ey. Working rs an ordinary hand in
a Philadelphia shipyard, until within
a few years, was man named John l..
Knowlton. His popularity was, that
while others of his class were at the
ale-houses, or indulging in jollilication,
he was necessarily engaged in studying
upon mathematical combinations. One
of his companions secured poodle
dog, and spent six months in teaching
the quadruped to execute u jig upon
his hind legs. Knowlton spent the
same period in discovering some meth
cd by which he could saw out ship
timber in bevelled form. The first
man Taught his dog how to dance
Knowlton, in the same time discovered
q mechanical combination that enabled
him to do in two hours the work that
would occupy dozen men, by slow
and laborious process, an entire day.
That saw is now in nse in all the ship
wards of the country. 1t cuts beam
to curved shape as quickly as an or
binary saw-mill saw rips up plank.
Knowlton continued his experiments.
He took no part in parades or target
shootings, and il n short time after
ward he secured patent for a machine
that turns any material whatever into
q perfectly spherical form. He sold a
portion of his patent for sum that is
equivalent to fortune. The machine
was used for cleaning off cannon balls
for the government. When the ball
comes from the mould the surface is
crusted. and the ordinary process OF
smoothing it was slow and wearisome
This machine, almost in an instant, and
with mathematical accuracy, peels it tt
the surface of the metal, at the same
time smoothing out any deviations from
the perfect spherical form.
The same unassuming man has IN
vented q boring machine, that was
tested in the presence of number o
scientific gentlemen. 1t bored, at the
rate of twenty-five inches an hour
through block Of granite, with a pres
sure of but three hundred pounds upOI
the drill. A gentleman present Offered
him ten thousand dollars upon the spO
for a part interest in the invention, IL
Europe, and the offer was accepted
1.-THE moral of all this is, that people
who keep on studying are sure t.
achieve something. Mr.. Knowltol
does not consider himself by an.
means brilliant, but il once inspires
with an idea, he pursues it until III
forces it into tangible shape. If eve
rybody would follow copy,, the worl'
would be less filed with idlers and tin
streets with grumblers and malcon
tents Exchanges.

Taking Cold.
now TO DO IT, AND HOW IT MAY BE
AVOIDED.

Not by tusnblins into the river and
dragging home wet as drowned rat;
not by being pitched into the mud, or
spilled out into the snow in sleighing
time; not by walking for hours over
shoe-top in mud not by soaking in
the rain without an umbrella; not by
scrubhing the floor until the unnamea-
bic sticks to you like u wet rag not by
hocing potatoes until you are in lath-
Ell of sweat; these are not the things
which give people colds; and yet they
aIeall the time saying how they "caught
cold by exposure"
The time for taking cold is after
your exercise the place is in your own
house, or office, or contingencies. 1t
is not the act of exercising which gives
the cold, but the getting cool too quick
after exercising. Fer example, you
walk very fast to get to the railway
station, or to the ferry, or to catch the
omnibus, or to make time for appoint
ment; your mind being ahead of you,
the body makes an extra effort to keep
up with it, and when you get to the
desired spot you raise your hat and
find yourself in perspiration; you
take seat, and feeling quite comfort
able as to temperature, you begin to
talk with friend, or if a New Yorker,
to read II newspaper, and before you
are aware of it, you experience SEN
sation of chilliness, and the thing is
done; you look around to see where
the cold comes from, and find an open
window near you,. or q door, or that
YOU have taken Il seat at the forward
pant of the car, and it moving against
the wind. a strong draft is made through
the crevices.
After any kind of exercise, do not
stand Il moment at a street corner for
anybody or anything; nor to an open
door or window. Whenever you have
been exercising in any way whatever,
winter or summer, go home at once, or
to some sheltered place, and, however
warm the room may seem to be, do
not at once pull off your hat and cloak
but wait awhilc-some five minutes OF
more, and lay aside one thing at a
time; thus acting, a cold is impossible.
Notice moment: When you return
from brisk walk and you enter a
worm room, raise your hat and you,

u A magnificent piece of human
halr-the largest, finest and most val
liable in Americas now on exhibit
ton in New York. 1t is of dark
brown nue.. soft as silk, weighs seven
ounces, and is sixty-four inches long
five feet four inches. On medium
size woman, this would sweep the
floor. The largest piece on record, ex-
hibited at the London Exposition of
1851, belonged to Leon Pollery, of Pa
ris, and was .seventy-two inches in
length. The story of this one that
measured sixty-four inches is rather
romantic. 1t came from the head of a
Swabian peasant girl, who had two
suitors for her hand, one a poor farm
hand, who earned six kreutzers day,
and the other rich miller. The mil
Ter owned the cottage in which the
Swabian girl and her mother lived, and
being as selfish and nnscrupulons as he
was wealthy, threatened to drive his
tenants out of their home unless his
suit was successful, although they had
already paid part of the price demand
ed for the cottage, and were saving
and working to pay the remainder. In
this emergency a travelling hair mer-
chant appeared in the village, and
sooner than marry the wealthy miller,
or on the other hand have her aged
mother driven from house and home,
she determined upon the sacrifice OF
her beautiful hair. 1t was taken to
the Leipsic annual fair; sold there for
$175 to an American dealer, and from
his hands found its way to its present
owners. 1t Is valued at between 1886
and $500. ia
