has at length come out of our swamps. 1t
Is the new remedy for scrofulous diseases,
which include consumption. put up in this
city by Messrs. G. H. Smith & Co., No. 90
Baronne street. They have issued circu-
lar, in which they publish original letters
from gentlemen who have thoroughly tested
it. and give long list of city references, all
going to establish the remarkable character
Of the remedy in question. Among the
names we notice those of some Of the most
distinguished citizens of Louisiana who
strongly indorse it after trial. A laboratory
has been established for its preparation
upon large scale, and it is creating quite
a sensation. Orders have been filed al
ready from Boston, New York, Cincinnati,
Yellow Springs, St. Louis, Galveston, Mo-
bile, Norfolk, Memphis, etc. The proprie.
tors and those who have become best &C.
quainted with this new thing from our
swamps believe it to be the long sought
remedy for consumption and kindred dis
eases.

Base Ball.

Since the arrival of the Empire Club, of
St. Louis, they have successfully demon
strated their knowledge of the game by de-
feating the SOutherns, Lees, and Crescents,
and by such scores that the admirers of our
home clubs are agitated for fear that the
plaid-legged heroes Of the West may COM
plete the circle by scoring last and great.
est victory to-day.
For concluding the games their tour, our
great Lone Stars have been held in reserve,
and it remains to be seen whether the con-
quering march of the Empire nine is to be
broken at last.
No previous contest has ever awakened a
like interest, and, partaking of the feeling
which animates the ball-playing community,
both mines will strive for victory. as perhaps
they never tried before.
The Empire Club will present the same
nine which has thus far laid all our amateurs
low, while the Stars will have out their full
strength, with Hennessey their famous
catcher) to face Leonard for the first time in
two months.
This will be the greatest game Of the
year and the attendance will probably be
larger than has ever graced base ball
match in New Orleans The railroad CON-
pany will furnish extra accommodations for
visitors. Play will be called promptly at
halfpast three o'clock
We trust our visitors, the Empire Club,
will not depart before giving our gallant
ExcelsIors chance to try their mettle. The
rain on Tuesday sadly disappointed many
DESTROYS OF witnessing the match between
them fixed for that day. and as our home
club has the merit of breaking the long
line of victories of our famous Lone Stars
by the score of eighteen to sixteen, few
weeks since. and are indisputably the finest
fielding club i'll the city, game with them
would prove Of more than ordina " inte1e
