wants will inure to their benefit. The
mechanic knows that cottages are
needed for. operatives, and they will
find work to do; and property holders
know that lots are needed for these cot
tages and that such houses always pay
the best rents, and that industrial pe0-
pie always make the best tenants.
The unintentional length to which
have drawn this communication forces
me to leave with time some sugges-
tons as to how we, "poor, ruined
people, without money and without
credit" can do such gigantic thing as
to build Cotton Factory! c.

Trust What Time Has Sanctioned,

The maxim that the voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of the divinity, may in
some cases, be open to doubt, but the
testimony of honest and enlightened
witnesses extending through a series of
years, and all to the same purport, is
worthy of credcnce, admit of no ques-
ton. Upon such testimony the reputa-
ton of Hostctter's Stomach Bitters as
an antidote and cure for many ailments
is based. During the tweaty years
that it has been before the world, in
Vulnerable preparations intended to
compete with it, have gone up like
rockets, and come down the eytinguish-
ed sticks. Meanwhile the progress of
that Incompatible tonic has been swift
and steady-always upward and on
ward like the eagles flight. It's intro
duction produced reyolution in tllera
peutics, and it proved to be one of
those salutary revolutions that cannot
go backwards. To-day Hostetter's
Bitters is one Of the most popular
remedies in christendom, and COM
mands a larger sale than any other
medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, on this side of the Atlantic.
As a cure for dyspepsia, bilious disor-
derS, nervous affections, general de-
l,.y \
fevers, it takes precedence of every
other remedy. This fact should teach
the ambitious country dealers who en-
deavor to foist their local abortions On
the public in its stead, how futile their
small attempts to cajole the community
must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no chance for
the suckers"

WEDNESDAY,
"EIsqueElt Dispatches"

The telegraph is a great Yankee in
stitution. And the greatest OF the Van
Eee geniuses are entrusted with the
manipulation of the dispatches. We
have often noticed this. We noticed
this particularly in the dispatches
sent OF by the fellow whose fortune
it was to inform the world of the
destruction Of the city Of Chicago
The Picayune says the dispatches
were eloquent in their simplicity
And we will add they were exceed
ingly simple in their eloquence. For
instance the reporter himself says
that among the 10000 people ren-
dered homeless and destitute the
most pitiable one was an old woman
who stood crying "Chickoy,, my
chickey, craney crow" But if Kai-
mes, or Blair, or Campbell should
take issue with the Picoyune on the
eloquencc of this scene, they would
be compelled to class with the Hima-
laya and Niagara in the way of sub
Unity the reporters announcement
of great historical fact. He tells
us that the original of Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation, which
cost $4,000, was burned in the His
torical Society building. The burn
ing Of the Crosby Opera House was
q very bad thing, but it was not a
circumstance to the destruction OF
the Emancipation Proclamation which
cost $4,000. The loss of all the
churches sand newspapers WIS dread
full, but it could not 'hold candle
to the loss of the Emancipation Pro
clamation which cost $4,000. To
see the finest city in the West in
ashes is deplorable, but it "pales its
Intellectual fires" before the extin-
guishment of the Emancipation Pro
clamation, rand an Emancipation Pro-
clamation, too, which cost $25. 1000.
Most sapient and eloquent reporter,
we salute thee!

THE CHICAGO FIRE.

We publish to-day extracts from
the Northern press giving a full
account Of the great fire in Chica-
60. From these our readers will
be able to CLEAN a very clear idea
Of the extent of the loss. It will
be seen that tue first dispatches
were hardly exaggerated. The des
truc.ion of property is immense,
and scarcely finds q parallel in
modern times. The greater part
of a magnificent city of COCO in
habitants is laid in ashes. For sew
eral years past the merchant prin-
ces of Chicago have been erecting
such business houses as have no
equal on the continent. Nearly the
whole of these are in ruins. The
loss is estin atcd at 5000, 100000
A hundred thousand people have
lost nearly all they have III the
world.
Much suffering will follow this
disaster. the winter season being
so near at hand. This, however,
will be relieved in q measure by
the generosity of people in other
D!acas. All the Northern cities
have subscribed literally, and aid
also been promised from Europe.
Even the impoverished people of
New Orleans have raised a hand
some sum for the Chicago sufferers.
We can fully realize the situation
among the unfortunate suffers at
Chicago. Tt has not been many
years since Alexandria and Ra-
pitles were visited with a terrible
conilagration, with its consequent
suffering. The town was burnt
down and the finest plantations in
the parish destroyed. We then not
only received no sympathy, from Chi
cago, but it was these same Chica-
60 men who kindled the flames and
gloated over h e heart-rending
sight. No matter how generous
and charitable we might feel We
cannot aid them to-day. The bad
government their friends h av e
given us has put it beyond our
power to recover from the losses
they then inflicted upon us. IT,,
however, they Will accept an order
on the Federal Treasury for the
five millions we thus lost by them,
perhaps we m y b @ generous
enough to bestow that much.

From BRAz1L.-Mr. Abel Roussel,
of Thibodeux, who has been six years
absent in Brazil, recently returned
home, to tell his friends that Louisi-
ana is better country than any he
found in his travels. We are told
that he tried both cane and coffee
culture during his absence, but neith-
er proved profitable He says that
cane must be cut and rolled in q ccr-
tain season, or it dries mp and loses
It's sacharine substance; and if cut
as green rs here, it will not make
sugar. Therefore, though that eli
mate is milder than ours, yet it is
not as good for sugar planting Su-

A FAST MILE UNDER THE SADDLE
John Murphy rode Mr.. Bonner's bay
mare Pocahontas a mile, yesterday
morning, at the Fleetwood Park in
g: 19a, which is the fastest time ever
made at that popular trotting ground.
What makes this performance the
more wonderful is the fact that the
mare was taken from Mr.. Bonner's
road wagon Immediately after that
gentleman reached the ground, the
saddle thrown on and Murphy mount
ed. There had been no previous prep
aration, no training under saddle, and
taking all things into consideration,
it was memorable performance.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMs.-The State
Department has finished list of the
claims and amounts on file there for
indeI bnity for depredations committed
during the war by the Confederate
cruis ers Alabama, Tallahassee, She
nandOah, Florida and Olustree, for
transmission by the Assistant Secre-
tary of State. Davis, to the Geneva
Conference. The total amount of their
claims is $I3,2s9, 257. Most of the
claims are from New England and New
York. These claims, of course, are
only to be used as evidence before the
Geneva Conference, when the princ-
pie only of England's liability in the
premises is to be determined. IF
affirmed, another conference will set
tie and addit the claims. The State
Department has not yet found it prac-
ticable to give in the list of the cases
the aggregate value of the property
destroyed with and on the several YES
sells.

SOME STRIKING INCIDENTS.

At one time, after the fire had been
raging in the centre of the city, and
while the fire was raging on the south
side Of the river, considerable num-
Der of persons were cut off from cross
ing and could not retreat on account
of the flames. The water Or .he fire
was the alternative presented. Not
long did they hesitate, and the whole
party was soon struggling in the river.
1t is not known if all safely reached
the shore, bnt one brave fellow seized
a little girl, plunged in and safely
crossed with his precious burden.
While the fire was raging in the Vi
cinity of Madison and Dearborn streets,
and when McYicker's' Theatre and the
adjacent buildings were crumblipg ip-
to ruins, above the red furnaces, by
which it WAS surrounded, rose the dafS
outline of the Tribune building, when

To the Police Jury, Parish Of:

vice, gave the contract for rebuilding

rise in the Mississippi River. l had
hoped until within few hours, that
the arrangement said to have been
made by the former stockholders with
capitalists at the North would have
secured an advance of money in antici-
patton of the collection of the tax pro-
vlded by the charter, and that such
work as might be necessary to protect
your parish from overflow would have
been done; but this hope has been
dissipated, and it now rests with the
par0chial authorities. with such aid as

protect themselves. You have general

you, to do such work as may be nee

planters of your parish and others in

49, The reward of 500, coo offere

8sa.The reward of 100000 offered
by the New York Legislature, for the
best substitute for horsepower in
propelling canalboats, has brought
forward numerous claimants W h o
present devices some Of which are
visionary in the extreme, and others
of which seem to be scarcely above
the capacity of school-boy. Among
the recent propositions is that of an
air-pipe extending the entire length
Of the canal, with reservoirs ten miles
apart to supply the boats with COM
pressed air, to be used as q propell-
ing foGce. The air is to be con press
ed by power derived from the Falls
of Niagara, just as the compressed air
used to drive the drills in the Mount
Gents tunnel was obtained from the
streams of water damned up in the
recesses of the Alps. This scheme,
it is admitted, is highly visionary,
yet it is argued that many Of the
achievements of the present day were
considered preposterous forty years
ago. The capabilities of compressed
air as a motive power and the pos
sibility of conveying its effects. to a
great distance are not yet fully I'M
derstood, but the advocates Of this
agent claim that it will produce re-
suits more wonderful than any that
are now known Exchange.

unable to comply with their agree
