As TO Low DREssEs.-Most fashions eve
their origin to an attempt to give prominence to
the strong point or. hide the weak point Of a
King or q Queen. Thus powder came into vogue
to conceal a Quee- grey hair, and large per-
ukes because King was bald. We learn. how
ever, from Belgian paper that the custom of
ladies exhibiting their busts in all the beauty of
nature has far more romantic origin. In a
battle in which the French were engaged (sll
dates we may mention, are reserved1 their
ranks were brolen. and they were routed.
When they retrea I'd, their women barred their
breasts and entreated them to pierce them rather
than to permit them to fall into the hands of the
enemy. This was too much for the gallant Gauls.
Nerved with fresh courage, they turned, renew
cd the combat. and were victorious. From that
time our French women haye on festal occa-
sions, always been accustomed to wear their
dresses low. In fact. when you see one who ap-
pears to have have forgotten the upper part of

The Warning Has Been Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts
made by certain Inscriptions local
dealers, to palm off their coarse astrin-
gents, made from cheap and impure
materials, in the place of the great ma
tional tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, public opinion has set strongly
against these empires and their pre-
partitions. Their occupation is gone,
or soon will be. When the light is let
into deception it soon willis dowp.-
Persons who trifle with their own
health, by using unknown prepare
tons, with no guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific,
proven by twenty years experience to
be exactly what it is claimed to be, is
within their reach, are sure to repent
their temerity. Many have done so in
this instance, but it is hoped that the
truth plainly spoken has arrested the
evil. In the meantime the demand Tor
the leading protective and restorative
medicine of America was never so great
as it has been this season. From the
fever and ague districts Of the west,
south west and south, it is literally
overwhelming, and it may be said Of
the advices from all parts of the coun-
try of the cures it is effecting in dys-
pepsia, bilious complaints, and chronic
constipation, that "their name is le-
gion." Everywhere the sick and fee
bic seem to have realized the imFor-
lance of "holding fast that which is
good" and ofavoiding hat is spurious
and dangerous.
The numerous "Bitters," under va
rious names, which mercenary dealers
endeavor to substitute for Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters,. should he avoided,
for their own sakes, by the sick and
the public at large. Hostetter's Bit
tiers are procurabIe in bottles only, and
never sold in bulk.

THE RESULT ~ RAPIDES.

We have held back the Democrat un-
til to-day IN order to lay before our
readers tabular statement Of the Off
cial vote. A complete table will be
found in anot! er column.
1t will be observed that the Fusion
ticket has been successful by an aver
age majority of $50 votes. 1t is one of
the most splendid victories on record.
Two years ago the majority. exclusive
of the portion now attached to Vernon
was nearly 100 votes. A gain Of 1850
votes in two years will do pretty well
for beginning. We have elected ev-
cry officer from the head to the tail of
tie ticket. On account of the Radical
law, requiring every Parish officer to
be elected on a general ticket, the Rad
icals have not even saved a magistrate
or constable. But, then, the law was
intended to operate upon the rebels and
not on the truly loyal.
Our victory is so complete and so
gratifying that We have no disposition
to crow over our fallen adversary, al
though some Of the Radical leaders be-
haved SO badly during the canvass and
the election. That such victory
would be achieved was apparent sevc-
raj weeks ago. AS soon as it was evil
dent that a fair registration and a fair
election would be had, the Conserva-
tives poured forth, registered, and then
came to the polls to vote. If a single
Conservative failed to register or to
vote, we do not know where lie lives
As single instance the registry at
Paul's Store was 2i0 IN excess of that
of 1870, and the whole $50 votes were
cast for the Fusion candidates. Men
seemed to feel that there was chance
to save the State, and they were deter
mined to avail themselves of the op-
portnnity. If the other Parishes have
done half as well, our poor old State is
already ransomcd, redeemed and dis
entlrailed.
With a Governor, and a Legislature.
both of which we are confident of hav
ing elected, We shall be in a position to
do something for the down-trodden
people of Louisiana. The task is a
Hcrcuiean one, but VIC feel sure that
the new government will be eqnal to
it. The people have done their dnty;
it remains for the officers to see that
the trust has not been misplaced.

sconding from the house of her hus-
band, is found wandering about Sun
derland, Scaham Harbor, Tvnemouth,

she obtained a situation as house
keeper to Frederick Cotton, pitman
residing at Walbottle, Northumber-
land. In October of the same year he
married her at St. Andrews Church,
Newcastle, in the name of Mary Ann
Mowbray. When she was residing at
Walbottle number of fat pigs died,
