% A divorce bill is before the
New York Legislature, which is a de-
cided innovation upon former di-
divorce laws. If it should pass it
would have the effect of destroying
the traditional sanctity of the mar
riage relation in its quality as an al
lance too sacred to be trifed with by
DEGREES Of courts. The bill gives the
Supreme Court of the State discre-
tionary power, to allow any person
against whom q decree of divorce
may have been granted to re-marry,
provided three years have elapsed
since the decree was made. Accord
ing to this law man may be divorced
and may marry as often as he choos-
es. He has only to place himself in
the position of defendent in O. divorce
suit to free himself, and after three
years waiting he will be at liberty tc
marry again, if he should desire tc
do SO. Knaves of both sexes would
undoubtedly avail themselves of such
law to make marriage and divorce
shameless speculations.

vs. We are having very warm
weather again, with here and there
Il fresh shower. The cotton crop
continues to make and improve.
We have heard very little catapil-
lar talk since our last. We must
wait for the second crop to esti-
mate their damage. The present
hot weather will prove Of immense
benefit to the cotton and retard the
catapillars.

DIED:


At his residence on Bayou BQuef,
on Saturday morning July 18th,
PATRICK FOLEY KEARY, aged 81
years.
Major Keary was born in West
Feliciana, and came to this Parish
in 1854 from Wilkinson County,
Miss, where his early life.was pass
ed. A few years after he represent
ed Rapides in the State Legislature
During the late war, as Captain
of Company Fl, Sth La, Regiment.
he followed the Southern Cross,
borne by Lee and Jackson in the
Army Of Northern Virginia. Many
of his old comrades in arms will
now learn, with regret, of his death.
Of a generous and chivalrous dis
position, he attached to himself a
host of friends, to whom his heart
and hand were ever open: and to
whom throughout life b Q chung
with answering tenacity.
We shall ever keep green in our
heart, the memory of one so noble
and true. in every department of
! life. S.

DEATH OF S. 3. RoBINsoN.-We
are panied to learn Of the death, on
the Goth ult., at Baton Rouge, of
our friend, S. B. Robinson, Esq,
instructor in Bookkeeping in the
State University. For several
years prior to the removal of the
State Seminary from this parish
Mr.. Robinson was the business
manager Of the Institution and as
such came in contact with most of
our business men. He was prompt,
energetic and faithful in the dis
charge OF his. duties, was a gen
leman of the strictest integrity.
he has many friends who will re-
greet his death, and his loss to the
University cannot be easily re
paired.

Bridal Tours.

Bridal tours have become as fash
ionable as they are expensive. AS a
fashionable custom we protest against
them. Let all who can afford it en-
Joy the luxury to their hearts con-
tent, but let none in moderate cir
cumstances, who have to work for
living, and who need a thousand
things more than they do a view at
Niagara, or week at Saratoga, pur.
chase chain to notoriety, or respect
able conformity to custom, at an ex-
pense of from two to five hundred
dollars, by spending few miserable
days among entire strangers, amid
the hustle and confusion of hotel life,
OF enjoying the double luxury of be-
ing rode on rails.
Circumstances, in this as in every
question, determine proprieties. But
what we protest against is the tyran-
nical reign of fashion. It has no
right to dictate in this matter. It
may be that the fancy may be Hcens-
ed to treat with poetical Indifference
the ordinary affairs of life on SO in
spring an occasion as that of mar
rage, but we can discover no valid
reason, nevertheless, why common
sense should be entirely discarded as
too vulgar or material q thing to be
associated with the heavenly bliss OF
material experience.
Admitting that marriage should
elevate one above the unromantic
things of this world for a time, we
believe there is q return again il
most cases to the vulgar things 0.
earth, to labor, to duty, it's perplexi
ties as well as its ordinary pleasures
It is not inexpedient, then, to be wise
in this matter. How many, however
are slaves to this fashionable folly
who have not the courage to breal
away from it :? How many are lee
into an extravaganza in this matter
which they cannot rightfully afford
merely because some more fortunate
Tor we might say in many cases, more
unfortunately do so. How many
contrary to reason and good judg
ment, follow this fashion, merely t.
make show, for the sake of appear
ance, which must, sooner or later, ap
pear to have been false and counter
feit.-[Waverly Magazine.

4 Young Mans Capital

There are many young men who are
in the habit of excusing their idleness
and inefficiency with the plea that they
cannot do nothing without capital.
The lack of means is the ready reply
they make to every appeal to action
they possess within themselves all
the prerequisites to success, but capt.
tai if they had only that, in addition
to their other imagined virtues, they
would do great things in the world ;
they would astonish the natives with
the boldness and briliiancy of, their
enterprises; they would grow i'm
mensely rich, and then lay the world
under perpetual obligations of graft
tnde By the magnifcence of their bene-
factions. This is the way they think,
and talk and they roll the vainglori-
Gus idea over in their idle minds, until
they come to imagine that the world
is an immense loser by their poverty.
These persons forget one important
fact-that all capital is the product of
labor; that nearly all rich men in this
country were once poor; that nearly
every personal fortune they can enume-
rate is either the product of its owners
toll and skill, or the representative
of his fathers toll and skill.
How did makers of these fortunes
manage to get along without capital.
Had they spent tho vigor of their
youth in idle and foolish lamentations
over their poverty, they would have
lived and died poor, and left nothing
but an inheritance of honesty behind
them. Capital allied to labor and skill
can work wonders in the way of mate
rial enterprises; and the man who
possesses money finds it easy to.mal1e
money. But capital is not indispensa-
Die to young men of the right stuff, for
all this. There are other kinds of capt.
tai besides accumulated money ; brains
muscle, industry, honesty, diligence,
truth, fidelity skill, tact, education-all
these are capital, and all of them have
a commercial value, which the owner
will be able, sooner Or later to COM
mand in the market. Provided with
these, any young man in this country
may make more than he needs to spend
every year, and thus have something,
at the end of each year, to invest as
money capital. IF he needs money
let him go to work and make it, and
thus give proof of his ability to use it
proftably and juliciously. If we go
into any great city, or in prosperous
agricultural district, we find the capt.
talists are those who have made their
fortunes without outside aid. They
did not waste their time in repinings
at their poverty, and in silly dreams
of what they could do if they only had
money to do it with. They went bold
ly and resolutely to work; they toiled,
and thought, and planned, and kept
on toiling, thinking and planning, I'M
til their rugged hands grasped the
fortunes that Others envy. In nine
cases out of ten, the man who will not
work for tho capital he imagines he
needs, would not know what to do
with it if he had it, Southland.

Both of these result from the lack of
ability to convert the food into nutri-
ment. How necessary, then, for those
suffering from these alarming symp-
toms to Immediately resort to reme-
dy that will strengthen the stomach
and digestive organs. For, as soon as
this desirable object has been accom>
plished the health improves, and the
patient resumes his usual personal ap-
pearance. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have attained worldwide popularity
in such cases, and have been proven
the best and safest means of removing
constipation, toning the stomach, Civ
ing energy to the liver, and relieving
every symptom of nervousness and de-
preston of spirits. It's cheering and
beneficial effects are highly spoken of
by thousands who owe it to their res
toration to health No restorative in
the annals of medicine has attained
the same popularity in the short space
of time it has been before the public,
or has won the high endorsements ac-
corded to this excellent tonic. Many
other preparations, purporting to be
correctives and restoratives, have been
introduced, and have persisted one by
one, while the popularity of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters continues to in
crease, and is now recognized as o
standard household medicine. The
success which attends the use of the
Bitters evinces at once its virtues in
all cases, of debility and disease of the
stomach. Certificates, almost without
number, have been published, attest
ing its truly miraculous power in re-
moving those painful and fearful dis
eases. And at this.time it seems idle
to do more than call attention to tho
great remedy of the age, in order to
awaken public attention to its excel
lence. 1t is the only preparation Of
the kind that is reliable in all cases,
and it is therefore worthy Of the con-
sideration of the afflicted.
