about being organizedto build
a railroad from Shreveport, via
Colliusburg, up Red River to
Santa Fe. A meeting for this
purpose is to take place at
Shreveport on the 18th of this
month.
We like the project, and
think that, sooner or later, it
will be accomplished. There
should be a railroad skirting
Red River, touching here and
there the most prominent
points. from its mouth 10 its
source, in order that there
should be a good inter-commu-
nication through this great cot
ton field. AS the river could
be used for the transportation
Of heavy freights, this road
might be of the FairIie narrow
guage cheap sort. From
Shreveport, up on the east and
north side of the river, he road
would not have to cross any
navigable stream until Little
river be reached, if that may
be so classed, which is a dis
tance of a hundred Dr more
miles. Again the colntry is
one of easy grades, and eonse-
qnently in the beginning the
road could be very cheaply
built.
1t would be much to the in
terest of Shreveport, and all
the country lying on the route,
to assist the measure by con-
triburions of the city, parish
and county corporate rs
Shreveport, Caddo, BossieI, La
fayette, Fulton, Hampstead
and Little River, might each
contribute a quota, which, with
private subscriptions, could
put the road through. AS to
State aid from Louisiana or Ar
kansas, or the United Statesl
either in lands or bonds, it must
not be expected. For if we
place any dependence on such
aid, the road will be built as
fast as the North Louisiana and
Texas road.
A charter for this road is be
fore Congress, but the probable
tiles are that the bill will no
be acted on, this session, a.
; Domingo and Ku Klux keel

So, in order that the enterpris,
may begin now, u charter 70

should be gotten up under til,
general law.

Arrest Decay,

Arrest Decay
When q plant or q troo begins to decay It
must needs die. It cannot DO rcvitallzcd. But
It Is not so with human beings. A human ruin
can be repaired, strengthened, restored, though
q brown, leaf or a withercd blade Of grass can
never DO made green again. In the autumn Of
life, or over in Its winter, when nature seems
to be giving way under tho pressure OF years, 1t
Is rtill possible to retard the progress OF decay,
and to lend to ago moro than Its wontcd vigor.
Az a means OF promoting this object, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters Is unquestionably the
most potent OF all restoratiyes. It Will not
make the old young, but It will prevent, lessen
or soothe the in1rmities which arc tho usual
Accomplishments OF the decline OF life. For
debility and Q lack OF nervous power, from
whatever cause arising, It is tho medicine that
Of all others before tho world, bost deserves the
name of q specific. In purity, In invigorating
properties, In It's adaptation to weak stomachs
and feeble organizations, 1t has no competitor
among tho tonica Of tho pharmaeopela, nor
among proprietary remedies. Besides Its
strengthening principle, It possesses Alternative
and regulating properties OF tho highest ordor,
and as an anti. bllious medicine Is far preferable
to any Of tho preparations containing mercury.
Time has shown that for physical decay, ner-
vous debility, dyspepsia, bilious disorders, and
Intermittent fever, Hostetter's Bitters is q rom
edy without q rival. This Is the season OF tho
fall OF the leaf; lot It remind the old, tho feeble,
the sickly, to invigorate and regulate their sys-
toms with this great vegetable tonic and alter

trict Court is one by q clerk for three
months salary on a year contract. An or

plicatiOn Of . married lady of the Fourth
District for divorce on the ground of drunk
enness. In this case considerable property
belongs to the husband and wife in commu-
nifty, and there are five children: The fol-
lowing prisoners have been released by
Judge Cooley, On the ground that being
committed BY q justice Of the peace, who
has NO crimiRal jurisdiction, the process was
illegal: John and George Cooper, Frank
Case, Philip and Joseph Bernard. The re-
lease took place following writ of habeas

In the suit brought by the Attorney Cen

decided, an appeal has been granted on the
prayer of the plaintiff, returnsble in the
Supreme Court on the first Of November

The ruinous condition of the courthouse
is the daily subject OF remarks. Yesterday

than mans hand, fell with crushing ef-
feet to the floor from the inner clerks Office
of the Fifth District Court. Should any
one be unlucky enough to feel the weight of
like quantity, of plaetering which fell
mot to speak Of the whole ceiling, which
will coon lsuccumb to the power Of gravita-
tion), he would most likely appreciate the
precarious livelihood of the court attaches
and numerous suitors who daily, throng
these apartments. 1t is true that they who
begin to repair an old house are never done.
Nevertheless, . little patchwork Of the Or
binary yariegated appearance would suffice
to protect life in this ''palace of Justice" rs

The LlDGaPdS.


The Lingard Comedy Company is run.
ming through its second week at the St.
Charles Theatre, with less success than the
merits of the troupe would command if a
better selection of plays were made.
Last evening Una" gave way for 'Frou
Frou, and we consider the change de-
cided improvement. Una" is lacking in
all the essentials of good play. 1t is
fearfully dull, if we except the scene
where an attempt is made to initiate the
Lydia Thompson troupe in the singing of
"Mary had q Little Lamb" and such like
stun. The only relief about the whole
piece is the introduction of Mr.. Lincard in
his inimitable character sketches. 2
The acting is a. good as can be wrought
out Of the play. But a. the groundwork
for an actors success is the play, if that is
not the work Of intellect it is impossible
for an actor-uo matter how talented-to
appear to advantage in it.

dramatic talent. As Gilberte, Mrs. Lin.
