Some of our railroad men predict that in
twelve months from this time ten trains a
day will be running into Shreveport The
river has obstinately persisted in remaining
down at the most incunvenient time possi-
Bile. With good river Shreveport would
now be alive with peopie-planters from
the interior AID railroad employees from the
West A gentleman who reached here a
few DAYS since from st. Louis, expressed
the opinion that if we had good river not
less than 5000 people would arrive here
within the next two months, some to look
out for Investments or settlement in the
city, and Others to 20 into Texas. Here
marked that all through the West Shreve-
Of tie most promising places y ii the South
west, But the low stage of the river pre-
vents us from realizing from all this the
many advantages that would result if we
enjoyed high water navigation

The Board of Health and Yellow Fever.
At the last session of the Board of Health,
reported in the Republican of the thirteenth
instant, we find statement of DR.. Perry,
health inspector of the Fourth District, in
which he gives description of purifying
rooms from contagious diseases as follows:
have used large steam atornizer to
throw very dilute solution of pure car
bolic acid in the form of fine spray, on
to everything in the rooms-walls, ceiling,
furniture, bedding, carpets, etc. This is
done without wetting or soiling, or other
wise damaging anything. Distinction in
this manner is almost certain to reach and
destroy the living, organized germs upon
which yellow fever depends for its propa-
cation. From experiments which | have
tried, | found that a diluted solution of
pure carboltc acid, one to fifty parts of rain
water, does not stain or injure the most
delicate calicoes, muslins or cloths.
DR.. Perry so well read an experiment
aiist, ought to know that vibriones and
other minute organisms after having been
in contact with diluted carbolic acid Of
the strength of one to ten parts of water,
do come to life again. How can he, then,
be in earnest to assert that he is able to de-
stroy life with solution Of one to fifty,
where a solution of one to ten has failed?'
No doubt solution Of one part of carbolie
acid to fifty parts of water will not do in
IN lin Off Int Ia
solution, destroy the living organized germs
of yellow fever? And where are the proofs
of the existence of his living organized
germs? If DIR. Perry has found the real
living organized germs, the propagators of
yellow fever, in the search Of which so
many have failed, he has made a most
important discovery. If he has in
reality become the Pasteur of the
pebrine Of yellow fever without making
it known to the scientific world, [ must
submit his modesty to be equal to the impor-
lance Of his discovery Though being my
self opposed to the theory of spontaneous
generation, and believing that all contagi-
GUS diseases, like measles, scarlet fever
smallpox, diphtheria, cholera, have living
germs for the source Of their propagation,
yet, with the exception of smallpox, they
have not been proved, and, as long as this
has not been ascertained beyond doubt,
scientific men ought not to give parentage
to erroneous views which may lead to i'm
proper hygienic measures What we know |
Of the nature of vibriones does not by the !
force of induotive reasoning permit us to
place any confidence in the atomized distri- |
button Of diluted carbolic acid as used and |
by DR.. Perry.

The Senator says he is much wearied by
the protracted labors of his campaign

His speech, lasting about two hours, was

This evening, that venerable and hon

Perche, was welcomed on short parochial
visit, by a procession of our citizens. He
was received on the outskirts Of our town
by large eavalcade, and escorted to the
church amid salvos Of artillery, joined to
anthems of praise. The bishop is much be-
loved and honored in this section Of his
diocese, and his visit here causes universal
rejoicing.
Hon. G. B. Darrall is rapidly taking the

the purpose OF exercising a general and
comprehensive observation over the whole
army, to enforce economy, induce efficiency,
promote discipline, discover and remove
the inefficient and to elevate the whole tone
of the service by the introduction of such
reform and notifications. as may be sug-
gested by close inspection of the present
establishment. The stations of the inspec-

is probable that General Marcy, the senior
officer, will take post at New York. General
Sacket at Washington, General Schriver at
New Orleans or Atlanta, General Hardie at
Chicago and General Davis at San Fran
cisco. The three assistant inspec tors-gen
eral are assigned to the headquarters of the

The Shrezenort Times SAYS:

Itfs gratifying to state that Mr.. LeRosen's
letter, published in the Times, has awaken
lance of the Shreveport and Southwestern
railroad. Every effort should be made to
build this road. or the rich trade Of some Of
the finest counties in Texas will inevitably
be lost to Shreveport. This is no idle fear,
and it will be supreme folly for us to delude
ourselves with the belief that people will
haul to this place over bad roads distance
of sixty or eighty miles when they can
reach the Houston and Great Northern
railroad iii half the distance. Then some
thing must be done, and, as Mr.. LeRosen
says, done quickly.

mule hauling q barrel cart, while going
along Decatur street, took fright and start
ed to run. But he found SO much in his
way, such as drays, floats. carts and street
cars, that he turned aside and jumped on a
float, where he did his best to stand up like
a circus rider. He astonished the driver of
the float as well as the mules, but he was
more astOnished himself than "any other
man." However, no harm was done except
to himself, for he left the ground with many

There are now lying in our lower bay two
ships. the first that have entered our harbor
in many months. The Ben Nevis arrived
Sunday, and the Tuscarofa yesterday.
These are old acquaintance of ours, and
are right welcome at this time, when long
trains Of cotton loaded cars pass through
our city on the way to New Orleans. The
schooner Island City also arrived in our
harbor yesterday, and the brig Martha,
Captain Cassidy's live oak vessel, began to
take in a cargo Of cotton. So Mobile is
