Elsewhere we have permitted the
publication of q communication, signed
Third Ward, and must admit, that
we have often been too tender-footed
with many Alexandria doings, and
rather than offend have kept silent,
when we should have Crowded the
mourners." AS regards our action as
a. Member of the Board, our sole vim
dication is the way our vote was cast.
We have our own opinion in this mat
ter, but will not take advantage of our
own columns to express it. Suffice it
to say that all parties are our fellow
towDsmen, with like interests at stake,
have their virtues and faults, and as a
Journalist, we will do none of them an
act of nnfairness OF injustice, and hence
tender them cordially the use of oul
columns in reply to Third Ward. All
shall have fair play and clean deal at
the hands of the Democrat. Hear both
sides and then decide; who hears one
sound only hears one bell.

" We noticed briefly, last week the
killing of William Jones colored, of this
Parish, near Natchitoches. We have
received the particulars and find that
he was murdered and then robbed by
three men of his own color and race.
The murderers have been arrested and
are in Jail at Natchitoches. Still an
other instance of exclusive colored
killing.

THE PRETTIEsT WOMAN IN NEW
YoRK.-Miss K, well known in our
fashionable society for her distingue ap-
pearance and beautiful complexion,
was once sallow, rough-skinned girl,
chagrined at her red, frecked face. She
pitched into Hagan's Magnolia Balm,
and is now as pretty in complexion as
she is charming in manners. This ar
ticle overcomes freckles, tan, sallow-
ness, moth-patches, ring-marks, ETC.,
and makes one look ten years younger
than they are. Magnolia Balm for a
transparent complexion, and Lyons
Kathairon to make the hair plentiful
luxuriant, soft and delicate, have nc

hair from turning gray, eradicate'

dressing in the world.

Sinking Slowly.
TREBLA:.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a
crisis are not the only ones to be dread
ed. Canker or dry rot does not blast
a tree as suddenly as stroke of light
ming, but unless arrested, it destroys it
as certainly; and in like manner chron-
ic debility, although it does not kill
with the swiftness of yellow fever, is
as sure to sap the springs of life event
ually as any ocute disease, if not check
ed by invigorating medication. There
is something inexpressibly touching in
the spectacle of premature decay
Languor, pallor, emaciation, depres-
sion of spirits, and distaste for exer-
ton, are its ordinary symptoms, and
they should be promptly met by tonic
treatment. The best invigorant and
exhilarant that can be administered in
case of this kind is Hostetter's StOm-
acll Bitters. The stimulating principle
of the preparation rouses the dormant

The failing appetite is re-awakened,
the process of digestion and assimila-

come more natural, and every organ
that contributes to the nOurishment OF

By these means the repair of the phys
ical structure is effected and its health
and vigor restored. In no class of dis

THE FRENCH CATS.
HOW THE ZOUAvEs DO THEIR FIGHTING
THEY CARRY CATS ON THEIR KNAPP
sACKs-THE CATS CHARGE THE ENE-
MY, AND ACT AS GUIDES.
from the Sunday World. |


France possesses several special or
extra corps, entirely distinct from the
regular army, the National Guard, or
the marines. One of them, and per-
haps the most peculiar and eccentric,
are the Zouaves. There are two kinds
of Zouaves, the African or original
Zouaves. who in time of peace, are al
ways stationed in Africa. and whose
strength there is about 10000 men, and
the Zouaves imites, or imitation Zou-
ayes, who arc armed, equipped, and
drilled like the original corps, but 90
not possess the same perfection in
manGuvering, etc. These latter are
only stationed part of the time in
Africa; the greater part they are sta:
toned in various parts of France. In
their armament the Zouaves differ ma
terially from the regular infantry, par
ticularly in their bayonets, which have
the shape of scythes, and their side
arm, which is the Algerian Yataghan--
that is, the peculiar short sword of the
Kabyles; also, in so far that they pre-
fer to use their own private revOlvers.
No one can become Zouave who is
not born Frenchman, and a very large
number of them are recruited among
the Paris loafers and gamins. Their
drilling comprises, besides the usual
military evolutions, more particularly
also gymnastics, and no one can serve
among them for any length of time
who is not an accomplished and perfect
swimmer, jumper, and climber. Their
style of fighting differs accordingly
from that of the regular infantry.
They may no bayOnet attack in closed
lines, but spread themselves out so as
to have more room for striking about
with their bayonets, and they enter
the enemy's lines on the full run with
large bounds.
One of their eccentricities is their
love for cats, and they prefer as pets
the large gray and black cat of Elgeria
The training of these cats is admirable.
They know not only all the soldiers,
but also their four footed comrades be
longing to the same battalion, and cas-
lily pick out their own masters under
all circumstances. They are very obe-
dent to them, and not only on the
march, but also in battle, take up theil
positions on their knapsacks-from
which position they participate in the
fight according to their own peculiar
style, by jumping into the face of the
enemy, and scratching and biting in a
furious manner. During the Crimean
war, the wounds in the faces of the
Russian soldiers from these cats were
so serious and numerous that they had
to establish at Odessa a separate ward
in the hospital for the better healing oil
them.
In climbing up and attacking rocky
height, the Zouaves command their cats
to the front to lead the way, and care.
fully watching the way the cats take
they follow them closely, and take adj
vantage of every foothold pointed ou
by their trusty and agile comrades.

Tht Mass Meeting.

Saturday next is the day ap-
pointed for the meeting of the De-
mocracy and Conservatives of Ra
pides for the purpose of perfecting
their organization for the campaign
We have reason to believe that a
full attendance will represent. Our
people are beginning to awake to a
sense of the outrages OF the Radi-
cal party, and are about to rise up
in body to shake off the incubus
forever. The heavy taxation of the
present year has opened the eyes OF
many who refused to see them be-
fore. 1t is new generally admitted
among men Of all colors, outside OF
the Radical ring of office holders
that the Radical government, il
continued, will not only bankrupt
the State, but will ruin private in
dividuals in the same manner. The
chances are that Radicalism il
Louisiana will meet it's death blow
at the polls in November. All are
agreed, too, that the Democratic
party alone can accomplish thu
work.
We hope to see large crowi
present on Saturday. The meeting
will doubtless call q parish Con
vention to nominate parish officers
All should, therefore, take part II
its proceedings. We predict tina
the utmost harmony will prevail
