POISONED BY BUTTERM1LK.--

The Memphis and st. Louis pack
ct ST. Joseph, on her downward
trip yesterday, landed about sun
rise at Pacific Place where the
steward obtained from the dairy
of Mr.. c. F. Morris, a quantity of
fresh buttermilk. The milk was
put into copper vessel and set
upon the ice to csol, to be served
for dinner. A number of persons,
including officers Of the steamer,
some invited guests, and several
of the crew Of the st. Joseph and
the wharf boat drank of the milk
at dinner, and shortly afterwards
all were taken violently sick with
symptoms of poisoning. Medical
aid was promptly procured, and
we are giad 10 learn That,
though very sick, none of
the party are thought to be in any
serious danger. Capt. Corbitt,
Neaffie Duke and the well-known
passenger agent, w. E. Dill were
among the number of sufferers.
The action of the acid in the milk
upon the copper had produced a
poison known to chemists as as
cetate Of copper, or verdigris, a
very violent poison.
Had the quantity taken into the
stomach not been very minute,
the result would have been fatal

At Savannah, Ca, negroes
amuse themselves by shooting
pistols through windows where
citizens are looking out. A
white man came near being ar
rested there for pulling in his
head too quick, before the mig
ger had got a good aim at him.

The government of the Uni

The government of the Uni
ted States has, since the war,
shown examples of the greatest
magnanimity and the lowest
meanness. AS the government
CONSTITUTES the law, a great rebel
lion has been quelled and the
greatest traitors have had
nearly full amnesty. 1t says
to the Generals and high Off
GERS of the rebels, "go scot free.
Your power is not feared. A
great nation disdains to act as
your hangman, although you
have committed the greatest of
all crimes"
But ON the other hand, this
great government that holds
itself so high, refuses to give
even the least guilty of those
rebels his just rights in money
matters, and harnesses him with
the most petty disabilities.
Its bearing towards foreign
nations is brave and grand in
deed, but with it's own people
how little! 1t is magnanimous
when it refuses to hang Gen.
Longstreet; when it relieves
him of all disabilities and gives
him an office which he is emf
nently qualified to fill, although
he was a volunteer and one of
the greatest of our Generals.
It is mean when it disables a
Justice of the Peace who was
compelled to join the Southern
army by the CONSUMPTION; when
it refuses to pay what it owes
to one of our citizens because
he cannot prove by two wit
nesses that he never aided the
rebellion, which is proving a
negative, and therefore very
difficult and when it refuses
even to get competent officers
because of the requirement that
every one of them should take
the iron clad oath.
AS the philosopher Bacon
was the greatest and meanest
of mankind, even 50 our gov
eminent holds the same quail
ties among the nations.

THE NEXT BHL.-The Rich
mond Dispatch presages that,
unless some great State like
New York shall resist the bill
for the enforcement of the 18th
Amendment, another law will
be passed entitled "an act to
provide for the election of a
Radical President"

Matt. Gains, negro in the
Texas Senate, in a speech on
the Militia bill said, "it must
be passed to enable his sort to
get back into the Legislature
again !" Matt has an eye to
business. His sagacity is equal
to Radical craftsmanship q in
Louisiana.

Who is Supervisor of Regis
tration for Bossier parish7 Why
has no appointment been NADER
Under the law this appointment
should have been made some
time since.

The delegates from this par
ish to a Conservative Oonven-
ton for nominating a candi-
date for Senator repaired to
Minden on the 9th instant but,
finding no other delegates pres
ent, did nothing.
Should Bienville and Clai-
borne parishes see proper to
appoint delegates, ours can
meet them at any time and
place they may fix.
The object our people have
in view is to prevent any divis-
ion in the opposition, so that a
Radical could not be elected
Senator. In our own parish
we are confident that there will
be no division. With us, at
present at least, we see no ne
cessity for organization of par
ties. If we can get through
this canvass without any ex-
element whatever, we shall be
grateful indeed. Our people
should remember that strenu-
Gus exertions to elect strictly
anti-radicals, although success
full, would more than likely
make the elections invalid be-
fore the Election Board. If two
strong Democrats were elected
to the Legislature from Bossier
after a spirited canUass, the
Board might say certainly Co
ercion was used here, for Bos-
sier has three black voters to
one white one.' If, on the con-
trary, two moderate men were
elected, aoitbout any excitement,
pledged only to oppose the OBJ
noxiOus measures of the pres
ent administration, but willing
to abide by the decisions of
those issues in regard to our
colored population lately made,
the Board could have no ex-
cuse to deny their election.
The Democrats were in favor
of President Johnson's plan of
reconstruction. They were de-
feated, and the 14th Amend
ment rendered any further con-
test impossible. They also OPP
posed the admission Of the
blacks to the rights of voting
and serving on juries. In this
they were also defeated, and
the issue determined forever
against them by the 18th
Amendment. These issues,
therefore, are dead.
Our duty is clear to obey the
law as it now exists, and to en-
deavor to have that law hon
estly administered.

SUMMER FRUITS Acids pro
mote the separation of the bile
from the blood, which is then
passed from the system, thus pre-
venting fevers-the prevailing
diseases of summer. All fevers
are "bilious," that is, the bile is
in the blood. Whatever is an.
tagonistic of fever, is cooling. 1t
is a common saying that fruits
are ''cooling," and also berries OF
every description; it is because the
acidity which they contain aids in
separating the bile from the blood:
that is, aids in purifying the blood.
Hence the great yearning for
green's, lettuce, and salads in
early spring, these being eaten
with vinegar; hence, also, the
taste for something sour, for lem
onades, on attack of fever. But
this being the case, it is easy to
see, that we nullify the good eff
fects of fruits and berries, in pro-
portion as we eat them with sugar
or even sweet milk or cream. IF
we eat them in their natural state.
fresh, ripe, perfect, it is almost i'm
possible to eat too much, to hurt
us, especially If we eat them al:,ne.
not taking any liquid with them
whatever.-f Exchange paper. y

Cons OMNIsCIENCE.-God new,
er forgets anything. All his
works, from the creation of a
world to the things Of a leaf, are
finished perfect. Did you ever
stand under a full -boughed,
heavy foliage tree in summer
time, and pluck one of its myriad
leaves and examine its delicate
tracery, its coloring, the very per-
lection of its finished beauty, and
then think of the countless num-
Der of such leaves, or the mighty
forest whose luxurious growth
cover so much of the world, and
reflect that among them all there
is not a leaf unfinished, each per-
feet in its form and color? And
did you ever pick a flower, either
from cultured garden or by way
side walk, enjoy its odor and bless
it's beauty and stop to think how
all the wide earth blossoms with
such fragrant beauty, and no
~
flower of them forgotten-the same
careful hand filling each glowing
heart with perfume, and coloring
each leaf with care? When we
think of this omniscience, of this
never failing care we feel some
thing Of the attributes of that
power unseen, yet ever present;
untouched, yet, ever felt-who
gives to the violet it's color, to the
rose it's fragrance, who tints with
beauty the tiniest leaf, and yet
whose hand controls the planets
in their courses, whose fat rules
the countless WORLDS SDurqeo,e.
