call public attention to DR.. Christie's Ague
Balsam, advertised in our columns. We
have no hesitation in recommending this
medicine We believe it to be the best
and most successful remedy ever offered to
the public for Chills and Fever, Ague and
Fever, Dumb Ague, etc. Its virtues as a
curative have been pretty thoroughly test
ed in different regions and in a great
variety of cases. We are satisfied it is no
humbug, or we should neither recommend
it or keep it for sale.

The outrageous manipulation of the
Baton Rouge Convention by Marshal
Packard and the Custom House Off
Gals is bearing fruit. Colonel George
W. Carter and JOS. H. Wilson, two of
the most prominent and able men
heretofore connected with the Custom
House wing of the Republican party,
have declared their opposition to the
State ticket nominated by the Baton
Rouge Convention. They aver that
the real wishes of a majority of the
Convention were overridden and de-
feated by the federal officials who
used the patronage of their positions
to control the actions of delegates. AS
Mr.. Wilson is president of the Nation
al Republican Printing Company, and
Col. Carter has until recently been
editor-in chief of that journal, their
detection may well cause consterna-
ton in the Custom House ranks.

PACKARD's BATON ROUGE MOB
AND ITS WORK.

The Packard or Custom House Con-
vention remained in session in Baton
Rouge until Monday last, and contin-
ued to the end d disgusting, noisy
crowd, whose deliberations more re-
sembled the antics of a pack of es-
capped lunatics than conference of
sane men.
On Saturday resolution was pass
ed by the combined efforts of the
supporters of Messrs. Billings and
Mary, calling for a committee to ex-
anime and correct the roll of the Con-
vention which the president had been
detected in altering. Ingraham ap-
pointed the committee from among
his personal friends, and though their
report resulted in striking from the
roll the names that had been placed
there by the president, they declared
that nobody was to blame, and a Wig
orous application of the Custom
House lash by Marshal Packard in
duced majority of the Convention
to concur in the committees curious
conclusion.
The nomination of candidates for
State officers was entered upon and
continued amid perfect din, as if
each delegate sought to make more
noise than his neighbor. The candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton were Messrs. VIM. Pitt kellogg,
Z. G.. Billings, Aristide Mary and b.
+. Flanders. Three ballots were ia
ken before a candidate received the
requisite number of votes to consti-
tute a nomination, and the announce
of the result of each ballot produced
perfect bedlam upon the floor of the
Convention, no less than four rough
and-tumble fights being in progress
among the delegates after the first
vote. At one time general riot was
apprehended and the lobby poured
out into the streets, but the fears of
the belligerent Conventionites over
came their passions and comparative
quiet was restored. Upon the first
ballot Kellogg received 1877 votes, Bill
lings 1856, Mary So, Flanders /, 147
being necessary to choice. The see
ond ballot showed Kellogg to have
received l40 votes, Billings III and

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual

equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
ar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning car
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the society for the Diffn-
sdon of Useful Knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is TO give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families III which Har-
pers Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest. &
There is no monthly magazine that an IN
te1Iigent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
