Pass it Around.

Blackburn's Homer Iiad contains
the following:
The Citizens Guard asks us to turn
our back upon Governor Warmoth, at
once and forever. This we will do
whenever we are thoroughly satisfied
that either personal honor or the vital
good of the Republican party demands
it, which we trust will be never. Now,
'Elet us have peace,n and cease this
foolish quarrel among ourselves. The
Democrats are laughing at u.s.
We say let this thing be stopped.
What say you, New Orleans Repubii-
can? What say you, C,ti-en's Guard !?
What say all the Republican papers
of Louisiana? If nothing else will do,
let us cast all our unruly so-called
leaders out of the political synagogue.
The principles of the party are worth
much more to the country than one
man or select set of men. Let us
renovaGe our camps and purify our
political atmosphere. "To your tents,
Q Israel p and let us have thorough
cleaning out. But don't let us COM
mence by sacrificing any member of
our party unjustly, or by turning our
back upon any man without he thor
oughly and indisputably deserves it.
What say You all Z

.HARPER'S WEEKLY.

The best publication ofits classi in America
and so far ahead of all other weekly Journals,
as not to permit of any comparison between
1t and any of their number.
Its columns contain the finest collections of
reading matter that are printed y
Its illustrations are numerous and beauti-
full, being furnished by the best artists in the
conltry.-Boston Traveller.
Harper's Weekly deserves its priniacy in
this class of publication, alike for the value
OF its matter as the excellence of its illustra-
tons. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
ires OF Mast are a power in society, and are
dictated III aid of "a sound public opinion, and
against public wrongs and follies. The edi-
torials on public affairs are models OF discus,
sion, weighty and temperate, supporting high
principles i'll an elevated tone and a chasten-
ed literary style.-Eranai,aer and Chronicle.

A New SwINDLE.-A branch of the
Louisiana State Lottery, has been
opened by Hon. Geo, E. Bovee, at his
store just above st. Michaers Church.
We are always glad to see legitimate
business prosper, but we sincerely
deprecate the introduction of this
swindling lottery traffic into our
midst. We consider the profits of
such a business ill-gotten gain, as it
nearly all comes from the pockets OF
the poor and ignorant, who are easily
gulled with representations of the
possibility of realizing a large sum of
money from small investment.

Last Monday morning, between nine
and ten o'clock, difficulty occurred
between two colored men named Bel
mont Shields and Aleck ., dur
ing which the latter received several
severe blows from chair and box,
breaking his arm in two or three
places. Aleck Immediately sought
DR.. Gray and had the broken limb
reset. His injuries are very pain
full, but not considered dangerous.
We have not learned the cause of the
quarrel.

Early Thursday morning, ominous
clouds gathered In the West, and
good judges of weather were of the
opinion that we would have a hard
blow. These predictions were not
verified, however, for after slight fall
of rain and a few gusts of wind, the
sky cleared up and all was again
serene. 1t is probable that there was
a heavy wind further to the west, as a
steamboat passed town about twelve
o'clock apparently disabled and with
her ehimneys blown down.
