The WORLD AND ITS BEAUTlEs.-The
world, says contemporary, is only
wicked and weary to those who are
stated with its delights, or who are
incapable of approaching theni. The
material world itself sets such an ex-
ample of brightness and cheerfulness
that it is quite wonderful how any
one can imagine for moment that
WEAKNESS could possibly be one of its
attributes. The year dies in tho
gloom and bitterness of winter, but
the fresh and young beauties Of ma
ture revive again in the ensuing
spring. Nature is perpetually rene 6
ing her charms and multiplying her
gifts. And if man couli only renew
his life in like manner, he might live
forever without WEAKNESS, and find
the world this SO called wicked
world-a paradise to all eternity.
The sun is always shining, the flow
ers are always blooming, the bios
are always singing, the golden grain
is always waving somewhere in this
wicked world.

Debility and EmaCiation.

Both of these result from the lack of
ability to convert the food into nutri.
meut. How necessary, then, for those
suffering from these alarming symp.
toms to immediately resort to RENE
dy that will strengthen the stomach
and digestive organs. For, as soon az
this desirable object has been accom-
plished the health improves, and the
patient resumes his usual personal an.
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. Its 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, purportiEg to be
correctiyes and restoyatives, have been
introduced. and have persisted one By
one, while thespopularity of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters continues to in
crease, and is now recognized as a
standard household medicine. The
success which attends the use Of the
Bitters evinces at once, It's virtues in
ali 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 the
great remedy of the age, in order t.
awaken public attention to its excel
lence. 1t is the only preparation 0
the kind that is reliable in all cases
and it is therefore worthy of the con
sideration of the afflicted.

A Live Home Journal.

Last October, Hearth andy Home
passed into the hands of Messrs.
Orange Judd &..Co., 245 Broadway,
New York, the well known publish
ers of the American Agriculturist-
a journal long without a rial in
sterling value. and circulation The
marked improvements then expect
ed to appear in Hearth and Home
have been fully realized, and it is
now one of the choicest illustrated
journals anywhere issued for the fam
lily circle-adapted to both the ju-
venile and adult people, and meeting
the special wants of the Housekeeper
Besides it supplies very useful chap
tiers for the garden and farm, and an
important News sheet, giving valu-
able resume Of the news for week,
up to the moment of issue. From
$500 to $500 worth Of very fine en-
cravings beautify each weekly num-
Der. We notice now a still further
mark of enterprise on the part of the
publishers; they have secured the ex.
elusive editorial services of Edward
Eggleston, widely a n d favorably
known by his writings in scribner''
Monthly, and many other Magazine
and Journals, and especially as tn
chief experimenting Editor of tn
New York Independent for som
time past. With this notable add

To We have had good weather the
whole of the past week for the crops.
But alas the catap;llarss are now in
full force and eating fast and thick.
They are now in every field, and be-
fore the 9Th of next month not leaf
will left ip the Parish. IT'S truly sad
aud discouraging to our people thus
again to be cut short even of half
crop. Already tightly pinched, this
heavy loss will only add to the severe
burden they are compelled to carry.
These worms are now regular every
year, and must force our people to
raise something besides cotton. The
plant caue of the Parish is fair and do
ing we'll; the stubble is a total failure;
corn worse than failure. Sad situa-
ton for Rapides!

~ Another of the old landmarks of
Rapides has gone. SEVERN Raugeat,
at the ripe old age of II, died at his
home, on Spring Creek, on the 18th
inst. He was native of st. Landry
and descendant of one of the best
Creole families of tho State. He has
resided in Rapides more than thirty
years, was always known and respect
ed as a good citizen, upright man and
kind neighbor. His old home has, in
the better days of Rapides, beaa .iso
hospitable seat of the highest intel
lects of the land, and well can we re-
member the genial hospitality, good
cheer and hearty welcome of the good
CID man. Those days ceased long be-
fore his lamp was dimmed, but still
to the last the old Rougeat home was
the abode of peace, contentment ant
good cheer To all. He leaves behint
him very large number of kindred
who mourn his death and will foreye
revere his memory.

One hundred and twenty names OF
Fontenots figure on the present as

This name, or rather horse BEARING
it, has been turning all horsedom up
side down, for more than two months.
In dash of four miles he ran, so it is
reported officially, a single mile, in
that dash, in LAO. Before this feat no
one ever dreamed he was a third rate
race horse. But this mere racro per-
Torrance was enough for the foolish
and wild phrenzy Of an excitable peo-
pie. Forthwith Leeomte and Lexing-
ton were no where, did not merit to be
named the same year with Longfellow.
Oh! no he was the race horse par erceI-
ieace of the world; his owner apoor
green one) refused 100000 for him, be-
cause he was going to knock all time
into eternity. In word the racing
world, such as it is now, went stark
mad, with Longfellow on the brain. So
far, so well. But aias!the great would
be champion, has again been tried, met
race horse and was found wanting;
in fact shamefully beaten in inglorious
mean time and proved himself a dung
hill. He ran dash Of four miles, these
days called a four mile race, against
Hembold, at Saratoga, on the 23d inst.
and, as matter OF course, was the
favorite with the knowing fools of five

The Louisiana Convention d
The Radical Press,

From a number of leading Radical
papers at the North, which we nave
seen, we observe that the recent Con-
vention OF tho truly loyal in New Or
leans has created quite sensation in
Radical circles. Even the over Jealous
admirers of Grant were not quite pre-
pared for such coup de main as the
marshalling of Fedora! troops and Fed
eral office holders, in Federal build
ing, for the purpose of so arranging
the wires as to secure the vote of Lou
isiana for Grant in the next Republican
convention. It had been generally
supposed among the faithful that the
Federal army was intended only to
oyerawe Democrats, and to keep them
from the polls, so as to secure Radical
maiorities. The idea of using the Ku-
Klux against Radical Convention is
something new under the sun; but
then the GRANTEES are rather silent
about it, and by their silence seem to
admit that it may be a very good way
after all of killing off dangerous COM
petitors for the Presidential succession.
On the other hand the denunciations of
the anti Grant, independent press are
both loud and deep. They threatened
to call all the authors of the "Outrage''
to account, demand the removals OF
the'New Orleans officials and swear
that Grant must lose the Republican
nomination at all hazards. But, though
several weeks have elapsed since the
adjournment of the Convention, the
Presidents brother-in law and his CO.
} adiutors do not seem to manifest the
/ slightest fear of losing their official
! heads.
!; Nor does Governor Warmoth fare
S much better at the hands of some o.
the leaders of his own party than dc
c the members ofthe Custom House Con
t vention. He is classed by respectable
!. papers with those Radical governor!
