err also for her own pleasure made some
times flowers and fruits, of wax and other

become quite successful expert il this
line she found that almost always her eff
forts were criticised by her friends. Once
at a tea party she passed large apple
around, and stated her confidence that
this time she had been quite successful in
her imitation of Natures product; but
her friends were as usual, not of her opin-
ion; one criticised the shape, saying that
il would be more natural if it was not SO
plobular; another criticised the colors, and
SAID that it was better than other imita-
tions but she had not quite hit that nat
ual indcscribabIe peculiarity which dis
tinguishes the natural apple from mere
limitations; almost every one had some fault
to find. After the apple had passed round
and came in her hands again, she ate it,
without saying anything. Her friends
had been criticising real apple, but never
afterw ards criticised her limitations of
fruit.

On Thursday eveLing last Colonel
E. G. Davidson, Fusion candidate for
Congress, addressed the people OF
Rapides on the issues in the cam
paign. Though the notice was short,
and the meeting at night, he was
greeted by quite a large and respect
able crowd. .rrf
Colonel Davidson entertained the
audience for more than an hour in
an able, logical and eloquent address,
embracing a discussion of all the I'M
portant questions which now asitate
the public mind. He planted him
self squarely on the Cincinnati plat
form and commended the wisdom Of
the Democratic party, of which he
has long been distinguished mem
Der, in adopting both the platform
and candidates OF the Liberal Repub-
lican party. Passing from Federal
to State politics he eulogised the can
didates put forward BY the Fusion
party, and showed that the salvation
of the State depended on their sue
cess over the candidates of theipros-
criptive party araayed against them.
Colonel Davidson made decided
impression on our people, and all
seemed pleased at the idea OF having
! so able o representative from the
Fourth district in the next Congress
of the United States. Sickness and
the low state of navigation have pre-.
vented Colonel Davidson from filing
the appointments made for him by
the Central Committee in the lower
part of the district. He will spend
the remainder of the campaign in the
upper part Of the district. where
much labor is to be performed. ls
At the same time Colonel Eugene
Waggaman, who had just returnel
from Natchitoches, made one of his
Enthusiastically bic speeches,
which was applauded to the echo,
After lie had concluded MIR. John
Smith, an intelligent colored orator
from Texas. made a speech replete
with much good advice to his race.

of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
most approved tonic ever advertised
in this country. 1t may be recon-.
mended as fall medicine, par excel

ness, dyspepsia and malarious fevers
are especially prevalent. The frame,
exhausted by the heats of summer, is
relaxed and feeble at it's close, and re-.
quires, we may say demands, artificial
assistance. Afford it that assistance in
occasional doses of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, and the evils referred to may
lie escaped. Throughout the far West,
and on the steaming alluvial Of the
Southern rivers, all the varieties of
periodical fever are probably rite to-

as she was about to pour in bottle Of

They also made full nominations for
Police Jurors, Magistrates and Consta-
bles. We have not the names ofthe
nominees, otherwise we should publish
them. From what we can hear grum-
bled around some of the nominations
are distasteful to large majority Of the
party. The great complaint is that the
Alexandria ring has taken all the chick
en- pie, but one small slice allowed te
Cheneyviile, and that given to one
nobody ever heard Of before. The re.
nomination of Sheriff DeLacey was

the Radicals, show some signs Of graft.

The Elections Yesterday.

Yesterday was perhaps the most
day of the campaign. On
that day occur the State elections il
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Iowa
and Nebraska. The result in these
States will have a most important
effect on the ensuing Presidential
contest. We remember we'll the pan
ic our defeat in these States caused
US in 1868, and the hopelessness OF
the subsequent contest. As we write
our friends at the North know the
result. Let US calmly survey the
probabilities and patiently await the
news.
Pennsylvania gave Grant a major
ify of 2s,s99 in 1868, and the Radi
cal candidate for Auditor in 1871 y
majority of 1855. This year the
Democrats and Liberals have united
on Hon. Charles r. Buckalew for
governor, and the Rad Gals have nom
mated General Hartranf. AS the
latter is very unpopular, it is conf
IDENTITY predicted that he will be
beaten by at least 10000 majority.
Ohio gave Grant o majority of Al,
42S. In 1869 it went Radical by a
majority of $3.50, in 1870 by 1886
and in 1871 by 1904. The polite
of Ohio are very changeable. We
have no hopes of carrying it, but ex-
pect a large gain in the Congression-
al delegates. d. r.. ..,-s i,.e ,--,e
Indiana gave Grant a majority of
9,572, but this has been greatly re-
duccd at subsequent elections. The
Democrats and Liberals have united
on Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks for
governor, who is probably elected.
We feel more sure of Indiana than OF
any state which voted yesterday.
Iowa is as hopelessly Radical as
Vermont. -, ,.e ,..4. ....s Lraa.
Nebraska gave Grant a majority
of 1920. In 1870 the Radical major
ity was .247S. The Liberals have
strong hopes Of carrying it. 2f 49,
IfPennsylvania and Indiana have
gone Democratic Grants chances are
hopeless. The electoral vote OF those
States added to the States conceded
to Greeley will elect him. Moreover
the dispir:ting effect en- the Radical
cause will secure for Greeley other
States which are now doubtful, and
lead to an overwhelming victory for
him. And even if we have carried
only Indiana we shall still consider
Greeley's election certain. With the
Southern States which will vote for
him he can be elected with the votes
Of New York, Indiana and Nevada,
to say nothing Of several other North
ern States, which are almost as GER
tain for him. taaa'4a ii ~
ain any event we caution our friends
against such senseless panic as that
which fell upon the Democracy in
1868 after the elections had taken
place. Had the Southern States
been guaranteed fair election, Sey-
mour would have been elected, not
withstanding the defeat Of the party
in these States, and in spite of the
silly advice of the n, 7. World to
withdraw him as a candidate. We
hope the elections yesterdS, no mat
ter what may have been the result,
have not brought forth such evil
eounselors as the World was at the
last election. ~ pr

armed, who, after several hours par

two white men, finally carried the
prisoner of. The negroes are reported
as declaring that ''they were pledged
to protect each other and they intend
ed to do it; they had money enough
to buy powder and shot to kill all the
poor Democrats and to buy matches

D. G. DeLeon.

David Camden De Leon, acting
Surgeon General s3of the Southern
Confederacy in its earlier, days, died !
at Santa Re, New. Mexico, On the sd
nit. He was little more than 6ity
yearssold, Int his career has been5a
most active and eventful one, and his
biography would give the military
history of all our wars, from the Sem
mole, in 1887, past the Mexican, and
through our late civil war. Born
and reared in South Carolina, short
ly after obtaining his medical diplo-
ma at the Philadelphia school, he ]
entered the United States army as
assistant surgeon, and went through
the Seminole war, after which he was
stationed for several years at OUT,
posts on our Western frontier. AT
the breaking out of the Mexican war
he went with General Taylor to the
Rio Grande, was present at most Of
battles which led the victors to the
gates of Mexico, and entered that
city when it surrendered, riding at
General SCOTS left hand. For these
services, as we'll as for gallantry in
action (when commanding officers
were killed and wounded and he
took their place) DR.. DeLeon twice
received the thanks Of Congress, bnt
was again assigned to frontier duty
in Mexico, on the ground OF his great
energy and bardihood. He was one
of the first Of the Southern officers OF
the army, tender his resignation, and
when all was over, with several other5
officers, he passed from Texas into
Mexico, vowing he never would re-.
turn to the conquered South until
she was free. After a years trial Of
Mexico he left IN disgust, and return
ed to New Mexico, where he had /,
been stationed for many years, and
owned property. There he planted
and practiced his profession until
his death, greatly beloved by the poe /
mitive people. Personally no man
had More devoted friends and fewer
enemies than he, and both as a sur
geon and a man of science he stood
high in his profession. His literary
culture was also high, and as a terse
and vigorous writer be had few
equals, whether writing on profes.
sional, political or literary topics.

THE PRosPEcTs IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The special Washington correspon-

telegraphs, on the 18th:
Colonel John w. Forney spent yes
terday in Washington. His visit had
no political aspect. In answer to in.s
qnines about the Pennsylvania elec-s
ton, he expressed the opinion that
Buckalew would be elected by 10, COZ.
or $4,000 majority, and also the Demo-
cratic candidate for Supreme Judge.
The only doubt, in his opinion, d
Buckalew's election grew ont Of thu
known plan of Hartranft's and Came
ron's friends to perpetrate large FRAUDS
lin Philadelphia. But this fraud, ~
thought, could be prevented by tle
aid Of the Citizens Reform Associa-
ton. rs,
| An Intelligent politician, just arrived
from Western Pennsylvania, conarms
the account of Buckalew's strength 40
that quarter. and says lie will have .
majority in Western Pennsylvania, be-
ling the first time the Democrats hare
had majority there for many year,.
Allegheny county, which gave, Grant
4 $4,000 majority, will be reduced 70
twenty-five hundred. The oil REGION
which has suffered at nearly every ses'
sion of the Legislature from the rapac-:
lity Of the Cameron ring, will now give
