has every desirable advantage, viz
LIST. 1t is light, clean and easy no pres

upward.
Cd. 1t has no Springs or Iron Bands,
thus avoiding all Injurious Pressure on
the Back, at the same time SUPPORT

aperture of all Undue Weight.
Sd. The Button is so formed that the
pressure Is equal on all of the Hcrni-
al Aperture, without Infringing ON the
Spermatic Cord.

ton is made, renders it Impervious to Per
spiration, and produces rapid absorption
of the deposits in the simultaneous cellu-
lar tissue, which permits the BUTTON to
act Immediately upon the tendinous canal.

. This Instrument is confidently recon-
mended to the public, knowing that it is
superior to any now in use. 1t has been
tried by sufficient ulmbers to prove its
superiority over all others, both for COM
fort and cure of the wearer.
This Instrument Is recommended by the
leading Surgeons and Physicians through
out the country, for the certain relief and
cure of Hernia.
1t is recommended by patients who have
tried the various "Spring Trusses" for
years, without obtaining relief, and have
been cured by this Truss.

A GoOd Joke.


The Egyptian mummy, in the library of
the capitol at Nashville, furnished materi-
81 for perpetrating q little practical joke,
. few days since. A great many visitors
from the country were visiting the CAPT.
tol. and the oft recurring question was {:
Where's the mummy? DIR. Morrow, who
enjoys o good joke, had passed into the
Comptrollers Office, where he found Col.
Pennebaker on a lounge taking a nap
Returning to his own Office he was met by
o party. consisting of several ladies with
tho inquiry. Where's the mummy. l
will show you ladies, said the Doctor, and
taking the lead, he conducted them to the
door Of the Comptroll:r's office. Point
ing to the out-stretched form of Penne-
baker, lying still as death ''that ladies'
said he, sis the mummy, he is supposed
10 be three thousand five hundred years
DID," After q few timid chances at the
mummy, the party retired with exclama-
tions of wonder, that the art of preserva-
ton had ever arrived at such perfection.

"Gentlemon Of the jury" said he, with

cents for his lost character.

MISCELLANEOUS.


Inferior stock should begot rid ofas soon
as possible. 1t is.a very erroneous prac-
tice to waste provender on stock which
will make no adequate return for the out
lay. Old horses, cows and sheep, are very
Improbable stock; the former are not
vigorous enough to perform the labors of
che farm, when the most needed. Old
milch cows are not fit for dairy proposes,
and old breeding ewes produce small, week
lambs and very light feeces. The i'm
provement of his stock should be the con-
slant aim Of the farmer. This may be
deneby selecting the best breeding animals
that can be obtained.-No money is more
judiciously expended than that which goes
tosprocure the services of a first rate stall
lion, bull, buck or boar. In order to pro-
duce superior stock, the breeding animals,
male or female, must be of the best quail
~ and they and their progeny must have
abundance of good proyender at all sea-
sons. Young stock of all kinds arc some
times injured for want of suitable food
and shelter at'the most critical period of
their lives.

The Commercial AdUertiser's Saratoga
correspondent got into a sweet mess the
other day. He landed at the depot in the
night. He got mixed up with twenty-five
married ladies, seven spinsters and four
girls. all waiting for their husbands, caus-
ms and lovers. BY accident these wo-
men mistook him for their GOWNS And

days ut Yale. A ponderous maiden now
approached-dressed decollete, hair q la

and whispered, %, Charles. did you bring

"a sweet golden-haired blonde now

Then she held her cheek close TO NINE
It was hot with loves young hope and

PARIS AND NEW ORLEANS.

All due allowance should be made in
New Orleans, at least, for the apparent
purpo>eless threat OF All outbreak against
the triumphal entry Of the Prussians into
| Paris That it WAS purposeless is clearly
apparent to us from the fact that any such
demonstration would have brought upon
| the mob terrible and almost instantanc-
Gus punishment. and would have inflicted
on the fallen city a disaster which can not
be estimated i'll its extent. None but the
most unreasonable citizens would have
suggested such an effort in the face of that
calm and titanic force which had already
Frustrated France, and which was moving
with artillery cavalry and infantry to
crown the result of its almost miraculous
career Of conquest with the last touch OF
victory.
We sav tina. the despair which sug-
gested such al outbreak, in the face OF
such an apparent disaster, should not be
too harshly con 1emned in New Orleans,
for our Own local history offers parallel
to the occasion and to the effort which
should warn Us that human nature is the
same on both sides of the Atlantic
When the victorious Union forces made
their appearance in front of the city of
New Orleans and demanded its surrender,
and when a detachment of marines
landed to assert the supremacy of the
United States. there were crowds of peo-
pie in New Orleans so thou5htless Of the
power that protected these marines that
they proposed to resist the army and
navy that had fought its way to the mas
terry of the city through the iron hail and
flaming distractions of the forts and de-
lenses on the Mississippi river. And it
is needless to say now, what was so ap-
parent to sensible people then, that any
outbreak in New Orleans when Commo-
dore Farragut took up his position in
front of the city would have been as des-
perate. wicked and disastrous as any out
break i'll Paris on Wednesday against the
Germans would have been.
There are times when men. powers and
must bow to disaster. and
the best providence which can befall the
at such time is to have
some clear headed people to counsel them
to peace and submission. Happily for |
New Orleans and Paris they both had |
these wise and discreet citizens, else had |
their fate been like that of the cities of |
tue plains, which We're visited by con-
Stunning fires because the leaven of good
people was not to be found within their
limits. Let Us, therefore, not put on any
airs over Paris, because she mas only
initiated our example, both in the sugges-
tons Of desperation and in the dictates

atall times and in all places these respecta
bic parties appealed to the members t.
sustain and uphold these enactments
and that they referred to their OWL
standing and responsibility to vouch fol
the Observation-Disclosures and intelligence OF
their suggestions And further, the
Le''9e1' should have explained that
when these schemes were under
consideration in the Legislature, their
odlou, and oppressive features were
allowed to pas, without comment by the
press OF the city, with the exception o. the
REPUBLICAN. which is the only paper that
has used its columns to explain and op-
pose this improper system of c,as, lesis-

But to our point A deliberate con-

and we have watched the proceedings
closely, nearly every iniquitous scheme
that has been passed by any General AS
| sembly in this State has been presented
by men who were not members, and who
do rot belong to the Republican party.
The Democrats, or Conservatives, or
whatever they may call themselves, have
endeavored, by every means in their
power, to corrupt and demoralize the col
ored members. Money has been lavisled
upon the iupecunio,u;, the naturally vain
have been h,ttered bya sort of semi-social
recognition, and the eye of conscience has
been closed on more occasions than one
by the personal assurance ION my homer,
10y the ''oldest and best" that to receive
a hundred dollars to vote for a particular
measure involved no disgrace. The loud
and constantly repeated preteEsions OF
these tempters to responsibility, long
residence and identification with the III
terests Of this community since the adop-
ton of the constitution of 1853, were well
calculated to deceive the unreflecting, until
the precedent was established, and buy
ing measures through the Legislature be-
came an everyday affair.

IN THE LEGISLATURES.

Amid variety Of business. all OF which
was necessary, if not important, there
Was very little done of the kind to attract
public attention. One OF the most graft
flying was the report offered by Senator
Fish on behalf Of the special committee
to report upon the Auditors books. The
report stated that after thorough exami
nation the affairs of the Auditors office
were found to be in excellent order. No
body who knows Auditor James Graham
would ex pect any other result from the
sev5rest investigation. and the report of
the committee is all the more acceptable
from the contrast between the present
condition of the Auditors Office and the
state Of affairs under the administration
of that galvanized Democrat, Wicklife.
Senator Hunsaker is entitled to all credit
for adherins to the bill to change the
venue i'll the case of the men implicated
in the disorders that took place at Donald
sonville during the fall election.
The Senate passed the revenue bill with
the same promptness as did the House on
the previous evening. In fact at this,
the eleventh hour, there is no time to
waste in parley.
We notice, i'll relation to bill for the
charter Of the town of Shreveport, that
there is disposition on the part of the
legislative authorities to strengthen the
hands of the larger towns throughout the
State, by making such police regulations
as will prevent a recurrence of the horri-
BILE scenes that occurred at several points
during the late election. Had there been
competent organized police at Baton
