In all new ountries we hear of fatal diseas-
es among Fowls, styled Chicken Cholera,
Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-
mes, &c. LEIS' POWDER will eradicate the
above named diseases. In severe attacks, mix
small quantity with corn meal, moistened,
and feed twice a day. While these diseases
prevail, use little in their feed once or twice
week, and your poultry will be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks oftentimes they
do not eat; it will then be necessary to admin
lister the Powder by means of a quill, blowing
the Powder down their throat, or mixing Pow
der with dough to form Pills.
Cows require an abundance of nutritious
food, not to make them fat, but TO keep up a
regular secretion ofmilk. Farmers and dairy
men attest the fact that by judiciOus use OF

The following tribute to the memory
of John Brown is paid by the New
York Tribune: When John Brown was
dragged half dead from the Jail to the
courthouse, and then again from the
Jail to the gallows, there were not many
who recognized in the man anything
better than foolhardy fanaticism.
Liberal persons in Europe spoke of him
with respectful tenderness, but here the
best his swiitcst friends could do was
TO frame elaborate sentences of eXtenu-
alton. The Rebellion came, and with a
sort of poetic justice il came to bestow
upon John Brown n good historical rep
utation. The facts are the same, but the
smoke and flame of battle have given
them a new color. The cruel rigor that
was to conserve and consolidate the
Slave Power for another generation has
so swept it from the face of the earth
and the eyes of mankind that hardly a
vcstige of il remains. So, again, we
notice that the Senate of Kansas has or
dered the portrait of John Brown to be
hung in the Capital of the State, side by
side with the portrait of Senator Lane.
lie who is able to look keenly into the
future, understanding the aspect which
Slavery will assume in the eyes of the
next age, will understand the place
which the name of John Brown will
take and hold in our annals. His sto-
ry may become, TO n certain extent, tint
cd by mythical traditions, but his fame
will lose nothing by that. He may re-
ccive greater honor than that to which
he is entitled, but of neglect and con-
tempt he is in no danger.

political cats paws to aid in carrying
out their schemes of plumber and OPP
preston against the property holders
and Taxpayers of the State.
But Bently becomes philosophical
and consoles himself with the reflection
that he las not lost faith in mankind.
It would be much better for him were
he to lose faith in carpet-baggcrs and
scalawags. If he does not he may
have cause to regret it. They are a
deplorable set and are playinga despe-
rate game. They arc not actuated by
any principle other than the cohesive
power of public plumber. They care
not for the people. They scout argu-
ment. With them right is right.
The man who can read and understand
must know that the registration bill,
the election bill, the constabulary bill
and the militia bill were designed SOLE
" with view to retain the political
control of this State in tho hands Of the
party in power. If their attempted
enforcement inaugurates another " car
niyal of bloodshed " the result be upon
the heads of those who devised those
Infamous measures.

Grant at Donelson.
HOW HE WAS SAVED FROM A RANTAN-
KEROUS REB.
from the Railroad Record.


The following incident has never be
fore been published, and its entire
truthfulness can be substantiated to the
satisfaction of any who may desire it
On the morning of the surrender OF
the Confederate troops at Fort Donel-
son, Federal staff officer approached
the works occupied by Baldwin's brl-
gade, Buckner's division, and inquired
for the headquarters of the brigade
commander. He was shown to the
quarters of Colonel John G. Brown, sd
Tennessee Infantry, who was tempo
rarily in command of the brigade.
Upon meeting Col. Brown the Federal
officer announced that he had been
sent forward by Gen. q. S. Grant, COM
manding United States forces, to learn
the location of the brigade headquar-
tiers, and that he would return and in
form the Federal commander. The Of
ficer then rode back to the line OF
works, and, meeting General Grant and
his staff, conducted them to the tent OF
Col Brown.
"Col. Brown, allow me to introduce
Gen. Grant, commander of our forces"
Colonel Brown acknowledged the in
PRODUCTION by polite though formal
bow.
"Colonel Brown, it gives me pleasure
to take by the hand an officer who has
made such gallant Defense" and re-
moving his hat, the Federal comman-
der leaned from his horse, extended his
hand, which Colonel Brown accepted
with that grace and dignity which,
with his gallant bearing on the field,
so distinguished him afterward as Ma
jor General.
After few minutes the party passed
on toward the village of Dover, the
Confederate headquarters, leaving Col
onel Brown before his tent standing.
i AS he turned to enter he saw, APP
preaching from the direction of the
fort, Confederate Lieutenant mount
ed upon a splendid horse and riding at
J break-neck speed, his hat drawn tight
ly down, and full-sized "navy six
particularly noticeable in his right
hand. An instant moro and Colonel
Brown had seized the madman's bride
with " Where arey you going, sir 2" "To
shoot that id Yankee officer; and
i, now loose my bride or I'll shoot you.'
And the man raised his pistol while he
foamed with rage.
1--WE have surrendered, sir, and
"Loose my bridle"
: al will not. sir-you shall not do
l "Colonel Brown, tell you for the
third and last time, loose my bride
p rein -
D "Drop that pistol" and the man
thrown off his guard by quick move
ment of his Rorse, found himself GOV
r cred nv the pistol which Colonel Brown
;, had suddenly drawn.
4 A moment of hesitation and the mat
Lieutenant's pistol fell to the ground
"Now dismount," and, with one lool
s that satisfied him of the firm purpos'

The World All Life.

The wonder as to the immensely OF
Mature does not come to it's limit with
the provision for mai; the forest, tne
field, the mountain, the shGrc, are an
peopled with eager existence. Inc
world we live in is all life. The quad
ruped millions range freely, and are
fed adundantly in regions into which
man never struck a spade. We speak
of things of common knowledge. The
buffalo ranges in herds of thousands in
realms to which man hasa as yet scarce
" given a name. In Africa, the casual
mjgration of an antelope has displayed
such myriads, that they have been
compared to the march of an immense
army. The elephant, in Eastern Afri-
ca. is almost master Of the land. Who
feeds these millionsP They can pro-
duce nothing for themselves; but their
table is spread upon the ground, and
their feast is perpetual. If the tempest
ravages it, or the frost bites it, they
are led by instinct, by the lnscrutable
hand of Providence, to another, ana
still the land furnishes their inexhaust-
able food. But the support of man,
and the quadruped hosts, is but por-
ton of this wonderful productiveness.
The millions of the reptile tribes, the
countless swarms of insect life, are all
to be fed from the ground. Another
race comes in view from land and sea
the fowl of the air. No measure OF
enumeration can comprise their multi
tude. The migration of wood pigeons
alone has covered the sky with liv-
ing cloud, often miles long and mile
broad. Yet they are fed from the
ground. Even the birds of prey, and
the sea birds, are nourished by wha
was once the product of'the earth. II
the ocean there exists, no doubt, count
less numbers of huge creatures, NJ
more capable of ascending to the eur
e faee.of the ocean than man has of fly
, ing to the moon, or to tho surface o
the atmosphere; yet enjoying existence
grazing in submarine forests and prai
ries, ranging through pastures, in con
e parison to which the broad fields
0 the land are tame and narrow, an
who, undisturbed and unmolested b,
man, give in the provision and thei
enjoyments proofs, to higher eyes tina
q mans, of the spontaneous and bound
y less benefcience..o of their Creator.

THE RAIL ROAD TAX.

On Monday next the qualihed Vo-
tiers of the Parish of Rapides will be
called on to say whether the Parish
shall issue twenty year bouds to the
amount of One Hundred Thousand
dollars to aid the construction OF the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vlcks-
burg Rail Road. The matter is inn
portant enough to bring out full vote
of the people. If they think that the
Parish would be benefited to that
amount they should vote for the tax
if not, then it is their duty to vote
against it.
We have discussed the question in
these columns in all its bearings from
the time when it was first sprung
upon us. flour readers are not by this
time fully appraised of our views on the
subject, it is not our fault. AS pub.
lie journalist it is our duty to advocate
those measures which we deem advan-
taeeous to the community in which we
live. Such measure we think the
building of this road to be; hence we
have supported it from the first.
We deem it useless to recapitulate
the arguments we have used in the
past six weeks. To any rejecting
mind they occur without any special
mention. The saving of freights in
one year would pay all that tho Parish
is asked to subscribe. The actual ex-
penditure by the Rail Road Company
within the Parish in one year would
amount to four times the tax The
!, saving in the expedition with which
produce will get to market is another
large item.
But there is really no difference OF
opinion as to the necessity of a Rail
Road. All are agreed on this point
The opinion, however, seems to have
rot abroad that the Company should
build the road without any assistance
from this parish, and that it will be
built WneGneT Suc L uIlSii SuOSS'Aoo "
,, not. This is very illiberal view tt
!, take of this important subject. If ev
, erybody who has money to spen'
should argue in the same way, tn
road would certainly never be built
We are free to admit that perhaps tn
road would be built whether this par
ish subscribe or not. But, with tn
u subscription, the parish will be in pc
= sition to dictate the line the road shal
take. If it be built without our assis
lance, the Company may divert it
some direction which may not be in az
q cordance with our wishes.
}. The interest on the bonds will b
10 100000 per annum, or about thirt
v cents on the one thousand dollars, az
it cording to the present assessed valu
IS of the property of the parish. Is NJ
il this too small an amount for which
" leopard the building of road in whic
re- all are so much interestedq This
,e the question to be decided at the pol
n on Monday next.

THE SroMACH.-We firmly believe
that almost every malady, to which
the human frame is prone, is either by
the highways or byways connected
with the stomach. The woes of every
other member rests upon your diges-
tive timbers, and We must own that we
never see a physician in fashionable
circles consulting the pulse of his pa
tent, without exclaiming "Why not
tell the poor sufferer at once. sYou
have eaten too much, you have drank
too much, and you don't take enough
of exercise. The human body is not
created imperfect; it is only ourselves
that have made it SO. There does not
exist a donkey in all creation half as
overloaded as that worked to death
portion of our internal organization

How TO LOOK YoUNG-SIxTEEN.-
Don't paint or use vile Hair Restorers,
but simply apply Hagan's Magnolia
Balm upon your face, neck and hands,
and use Lyons Kathairon upon your
hair. The Balm makes your complex
ion pearly, soft and natural, and you
can't tell what did it. 1t removes
freckles, tan, sallowness, ring-marks,
moth-patches, ETC.; and in place of a
red, rustic face, you have the marble
purity of an exquisite belle. 1t gives
to middle age the bloom of perpetual
youth. Add these effects to splendid
head of hair produced by the Kathai-
ron, and a lady has done her best in
the way of adornment. Brothers will
have no spinster sisters when these ar
ticles are around.
