A young man, accompanied by his
lady love, took breakfast at q hotel the
other day. Never having seen any fish
balls, he handed one to his lady, under
the impression that it was doughnut.
After breaking his own, he carefully ex-
amined, then smelled Of it, and with
sepulchral voice said, "Sal, don't eat
that doughnut, there's something dead
in it.

TOBACCO IN THE ENGLISH HOUSE
OF COMMONS 247 YEARS AGo.-The
following is extracted from the pro-
ceedings in the House of commons.
"Wednesday, April 18th, 1921. Sir
Vim Strond moved that he would have
tobacco bansihed wholly out of the
and that it may not be
brought in from any part, nor use
amongst us; and Sir Grey Palmer said,
hat if tobacco be not banished, it will
overthrow one hundred thousand men
in England; for now it so common that
ne had seen ploughmen take it as. they
are at the plough" Not being "ban-
ished, !" it has been doing lively bus
mess, until now We see that I'M Ar
man has lately announced to the
French Academy of Sciences the dis
covery of an antidote to the noxious
principle of tobacco. A liquor OBJ.
tanned by an infusion of water creses
when used for sleeping the tobacco
leaves, destroys the baleful effects o.
the nicotine, without altering the arc
ma of the tobacco, whilst a draught O
the liquor is sure antidote to nicotine
posing. M. Armand recommends tina
the paper used for cigarettes should b,
soaked in this liquor, to render then

the road, to build and equip the road
with rolling stock for thirteen thousand

It is stated in the article extracted
from the Times that "the charter and
rights" of our road "haye also been
purchased from Judge Boyce'--this 1
apprehend is an error, it certainly is SO
far as we, the stockholders, are con-
cerned. But Judge Boyce was land
still is) in New Orleans when that arti-
Gle was written and published there.
Let me not be Misunderstood am
not opposed to the construction of this
road, on the contrary, no one, except
it's originator, Judge Boyce, has been
a more earnest and anxious advocate
for it, from it's inception, than myself,
but I do not want to give strangers
more than money enough to build the
road, and then pay them for building
it besides, they owning the entire pro-
perty in it. If the State and Parishes
are to furnish this company of wealthy
Illinois capitalists with more than am
pie means to build the road, we had
better build and own the road our
selves, thus keeping at home all the
capital invested in it, except the cost of
the iron. ,.
| Utterly FRUSTRATED in health by in
cessant physical suffering of now TWEEN
| ty months duration, am entirely un-
able to enter into any discussion of, or
controversy about, this matter, having
only endeavored to make this, to me
very painful exertion, by an anxiety
that the already overburdened tax pay
ers of the Parish, whose burthens of
this kind are to be progressively and
rapidly increased by Legislative Acts
already accomplished, should under
| stand the facts connected with this
matter, so far as they are known to
me, before voting on the question of
additional burthens on themselves.
Very respectfully, -

The Living Machine.

IDjure the main spring of watch and
every portion of the works becomes disor-
dered The human stomach is to the hui
man system what that elastic piece Of met
al is to chrOnometer. 1t influences the
action Of the other organs, and controls, to
a certain extent, the whole living ma
chine. The comparison may be carried
further: for as the weakness or other i'm
projections of the main spring is indicated
OH the face of the time piece, SO also is the
weakness or other disorder of the stomach
betrayed by the face of the invalid. The
complexion is sallow or faded, the eyes are
deficient in lustre and intelligence, and
there is worn, anxious expression in the
whole countenance which tell us plainly
as written words could do, that the great
nourishing organ whose office it is to min
lister to the wants of the body, and to sus-
tain and renew all it's parts, is not per-
forming it's duty. 1t requires renovating
and regulating, and to accomplish this end
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be truly
said to be the one thing needful. The bro
ken main spring of a watch may be re-
placed by new one, but the stomach can
only be repaired and strengthened, and
this is one of the objects OF the famous
vegetable restorative which for eighteen
years has been waging successful contest
with dyspepsia in all climates. AS spe-
ciic for indigestion it stands alone. When
the resources of the pharmacopeia have
been exhausted. without, at best, doing
more than mitigating the complaint, a
course of this wholesome and palatable,
yet powerful, stomachic effects q perfect
and permanent cure. In all cases of dys-
pepsia the liver is more or less disordered
and upon this important gland, as we'll as
upon the stomach and bowels, the Bitters
act with singular distinctness, regulating
and reinvigorating every secretive and
assimilating organ on which bodily and
mental health depend ,J@t25iS

A REMARKABLE SToRY.-A few
days since, there was colored man
in the city with scar entirely around
his neck. 1t is stated that during the
closing days of the late war, he was
tried by drum head court-martial,
found guilty, sentenced to death, duly
hung, and pronounced dead by two
surgeons, one of whom secured the
body. He then restored the hanged
man to life. Although he was to all
appearances dead, yet the vital spark
was not quite extinct. The hanged
man hid himself until the war was over
and then settled on farm within
thirteen miles of the city, where he is
now at work. The scar alluded to is
but the marks Of the rope by which he
was suspended. The execution, it il
alleged, took place in Kershaw county.
It is also stated that the surgeon who
restored the man to life is now resi-
dent OF this city.-[Charleston News.

sound Doctrine.
THE RYAN CASE.

The Democrat is becoming such a
good Democratic journal in some few
respects, that oftener than heretofore
we have occasion to quote from it. It
has the sagacity to see that the Radi-
cal leaders are running its party to
death, and is bold enough to blurt out
it's disgust. Its most recent outbreak
was about the following trifle. A GER
tain Mr., Ryan, an, old resident OF
Louisiana, and such staunch union
man during the late civil war that
Gen. Banks on the floor fthe house of
in the debate over the
contest for his seat, testified to his out
spoken loyalty, was returned a mem-
Der of the present congress. In his
district 25, 027 voters were registered;
of these 2O,5O0 voted at the election,
3,244 for Mr.. Ryan, who thus had not
only clear majority of the votes poll
ed, but even an absolute majority, Of
l ,461, of all the registered voters. A
stranger in the district by the name of
Newsham ran against Mr.. Ryan; but
the voters seemed to regard this car
petbagger as appropriately named,
considered him merely a new sham,
and even under the pressure of party
drill, gave him but 1886 votes. New
ertheless he contested the election. 1t
was admitted by the maneger of his
case before the committee on elections
of the house of representatives, that
there was peaceable and fair election
in the majority of parishes in the dis
trict, although in part of it, there
were disturbances on the day of cleo
ton. Many, even Of Newsham's party
friends voted for Ryan, because he was
Gan old, we'll known and influential
citizen" Yet the house of representa-
tive elected Ryan from his seat and,
not satisfied to send the matter back
to the constituency, gave it to New
sham!
The Democrat hits the nail on the
head when it gives, for full explanation
of this outrage the concise statement
that "Ryan was q Democratic candi-
nate and Newsham was Republican,
The whole proceeding is choice spe-
cimen of that insolence of power which
preccdes and precipltates the loss of it.
The Democrat may we'll exclaim, in
its bitterness at the stupidity of its
party leaders: "The Republican party
gains nothing by such proceedings
1t loses the confidence of fair and
honest men, whenever it does such
things. Is it stran &c that in view OF
such proceedings Democrats declare the
majority in congress to be governed by
mere partisanship."7-lSt. Louis Re-

CHESS PLAYING CHARACTERIZATION
Saturday evening--the opening night Of
the Brooklyn Chess Club at their new
rooms, $50 Fulton street-eight players
members Of the club) inaugurated feat
at chess which, has, probably, never been
paralleled, which was to play a game OF
chess, blindfold, four players on each side,
and each player to make move in his
turn without consulting his colleagues.
Three games were contested in this mans
ner, and two of the number were beauti-
fully played. The contestants were Messrs,
Richardson, Capt. Mackenzie, q. Delmar
and DR.. Barnett opposed to Messrs.
Brenzinger, Gilberg, Marachi and j. A. de
Con. The first gave was won by Messrs.
Brenzinger and allies, the second and
third by Messrs. Mackenzie and allies.
The blindfold skill exhibited by every
one of the eight players in the three games
is deserving Of great praise. The per.

all presently. =. Herald.

The Republicans Feel the Blow

From the N. I. sun, Republican,
The recent elections would seem to
indicate turn in the drift of the po-
litical tide. The defeat OF so worthy
and personally acceptable a candidate
as Governor Jewell, in Connecticut,
last April, was doubtless due to the UNI
popularity of Gen. Grants Administra-
ton, and especially to its anti-Ameri-
can, cowardly, and shameful attitude
on the. Cuban question. The over
whelming Democratic majority in this
State at the judicial election was caus-
ed in great measure by the disar-
rangement and Generalization diffhsed
through the ranks of the Republican
party by the absence of any inspiring
idea in the conduct of our affairs and
by the unwise Federal appointments
made from this State and city. The
loss of Oregon is also a severe Blow to
the Administration. The seat of Mr..
Williams, the present Republican SEN
ator, and one of the foremost men of
the Pacific slope, was at stake, his term
of Office expiring in March next. Great
exertions were therefore put forth by
the Administration to carry the Legis-
lature; but the Democrats having Sc
cured both branches, q member of that
party will succeed Mr.. Williams.
The most signal and significant of
these defeats is the election Of Emery
as Mayor of Washington, by more than
1000 majority over Bowen, the regular
Republican candidate, and the conf
Dental friend of the President. Now
that this catastrophe has happened to
the Administration, of course it's cham
pions declare that Gen. GRAFT took no
interest in the matter, and that the
failure to achieve the triumph Of his ia
vorite is not striking proof Of his
weakness at the Federal capital. The
people do not believe this; and, at all
events, every shrewd politician will as.
sert that if the President did not use
every effort in his power to elect Bow
en-, he ought to have done SO, and tina,
his delinquency only affords another
proof of his incapacity to lead grea
party in q trying crisis.
In any view of the result, the stun
ming overthrow of Bowen, under tn
livery eye of the White House, in til
presence of Republican Congress, ant
! in city swarming with the beneficial
ries of the President, must be accepte,
as an indication that either his days o
those Of his party are drawing to
close.
