Capt. McCranie regrets being absent
from the office when honorcd with a
call from Col. M. l.. Bell, Democratic
candidate for Congress in tho Camden
(Arkansas) district. Capt. NJ. hopes
to return the Colonel's call in Washing
ton, next March. "Clasping hands
across' the State line, these gentlemen
will be able, we are satisfied to effect
something more for their districts than
the cutting down of a few thousand
trees on the banks of the Ouachita and
then transferring them to the channel of
the river, to become the terror Of
steamboatsmen in the way of snags,
at all stages of the river.

Valuable Hints.

A regular habit of body is absolutely es-
sential to physical health and clearness of
intellect. Nor is this all. Beauty Of person
cannot co-exist with an unnatural condi-
ton of the bowels. A FREQ passage of the
refuse matter of the system through these
natural waste pipes, is necessary to the
purity Of tho body as tho free passage of tho
offal of a city through its sewers is necessa-
ry to the health of its Inhabitants.
indigestion is the primary cause of most
of the diseases of the discharging organs,
and ono OF its most common results is con-
stipation. This complaint, besides being
dangerous in itself, has many dsagreeable
a sa11ow skin. contaminating blood and
bile, hemorrhOidS, headache, loss of memO-
ry, and general debility.
Hostetters Stomach Bitters remove all
cause in the digestive organ, and regulat-
ing tho action of tho intestines. The COM
bination of properties in this celebrated
preparation is one of its chief merits. 1t is
not merely a stimulation or tonic, or an
depurent, or a catharic, but all these cura-
two elements judiciously blended in one
powerful restorative. 1t lends activity and
vigor to the inert and cneryated stomach,
relieves the alimentary canal of its obstruc
which line it, gently stimulates the liver,
braces the nerves, and cheers the animal
spirits No other remedy possesses such a
variety of hygienic virtues 1T is to these
as household medicine. Experience has
proved that it is as harmless AS it Is ethca-
ciOus, and hence it is as popular with the
weaker sex with the stronger.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are sold in
bottles only, and the trademark blown in
test OF genuineness. Beware of counter
feits.

Rooms OF THE GRAND JURY.

Rooms OF THE GRAND JURY.
Monroe, La, Sept. 81, 1872. J
To the Hon. Robt. Ray, Judge ofthe 18th
Judicial District Court:
Sir-In conformity with the require
ments of law, the Grand Jury of which
I have the honor to be foreman, have
this day inspected the Parish Jail, and
beg leave to submit the following re-
port:
The air within the building is foul
and notwithstanding we think, from
the filthy condition of the walls and
floor where the prisoners stool. The
drain on the outside of the building is
not kept open, and presents a filthy
and disgusting appearance. The pris-
oners complain that the buckets are not
removed frequently enough; this state
ment is corroberated by the condition
of the air in the building. Some of
the prisoners complain that the food is
insufficient in quantity, and not prop
erly cooked. The floor of the second
room on the lower story has been re-
paired, and is probably as good as it
ever was, but we do not consider it
secure.
Respectfully submitted.
a. +. FLOURNOT,
Foreman of Grand Jury.

The friends of tho Fusion ticket in
this parish have gone earnestly to
work. The country, particularly, is
aroused and the people are in motion.
The Trenton, Colony and Pine Grove
clubs report encouraging progress.
The Executive Committee had a full
meeting last Saturday, and took steps
for a thorough canvass Of the parish.
Let us recall fact: In 1867 and 1865,
at two successive elections, the
Radicals carried the parish. By thor
ough and earnest work, at the Fall
election of 'GS, the Democrats revolu-
tionized the parish and carried it by
over 200 majority!

There is only one remedy by which
this defect [nuisances] can be cured,
and that is, to pull down the present
Jail and erect another, constructed more
with regard to the safety and comfort
of the prisoners, and more thoroughly
ventilated acknowledgement.
And buy the Intelligencer lot and
buildings for 81 500; tear down the i'm
provcments; give the material to Mo-
rey and Ennemoser; build a Jail on
main street so that every passcr-by
may exchange glances with the unfor-
tunate seekers of pure air through the
CRATES; the pleasing memory of misery;
the delectable sight ola house of COR
rection, and the anticipation ola few
more mills to the next tax list, will
make us all happy beyond any thing
we have enjoyed since Radicalism
took possession. We must do it.

Council, the city weigher of cotton can
be required to perform the service at

the former, and be less troublesome to

A mechanic en- route for Marshall,
Texas, apparently in good health and
a ledger at the Ouachita House, became
temporarily raving maniac during
Thursday night. He imagined that he
was hunted down by the inmates of the
hotel, and that every one sought his
life. His cries were heard at a great
distance. In his efforts to flee the
house, he met Mr.. Hunsicker, the pro-
prictor, and made several Intellectual
efforts to cut him with pocket knife.
Mr.. Parker, boarder, passing into his
room with a lighted lamp,was pursued
tho lamp thrown from a table, and
exploding fired the bar and beding and
came nearly burning up the hotel. Mr..
Parker dealt the stranger a severe blow
on the head with Il dumb-bell, and
other parties joined in the effort to cap
ture and overpower him. He escaped
by jumping from the upper gallery,
and secreting himself near Kings
store. He was found Friday morning
in an exhausted condition, but perfectly
and rational. He was sober,
and so far as known by his compan-
ions, had not touched liquor during the
day.
