Two Great Physicians Gone

We are panied to announce the death,
on the 9Th inst, of DR.. Stokes A. smith,
at his residence in this Parish, after
short but painful Illness. Dr.. Smith
was native OF Kentucky and was IN
the 57th year of his age. lie came 70
this Parish about 80 years ago, and has
resided among us ever since, marrying
a Rapides lady and raising large fam
ilv of children. For many years he
was successful and widely known
physician, and for part OF the time
was largely engaged in mercantile pur-
sujts. He was member OF the state
Senate for a short time. He was an
able surgeon, and his opinions While
occupying high position in the Con-
federate army, were universally res
pected both in and out of the Faculty
He possessed great native power OF IN
| tellect. and his fondness for general
literature had led him to amass vast
| fund of information IN lhe various
branches of science and literature. Ills
fine social qualities had made him
multitude of friends, who will deplor(
his death. His loss is pu
calamity.
On the same day died at his residence
in fine city of New Orleans, Dir. Warner
Stone, confessedly the head of the Med
zeal profession ut the South. DR.. Ston'
WAS native of Vermont, but his Srea
reputation was all acquired in New VI
, leans. where he had resided Tor NOR
than forty years. He was IN the sixty
fifth wear Of his age at the time OF III
death. We can pronounce no his"e
eulo.y on him than to say his name wa
Warren Stone.

The Railroad.

We really believe that we are at
last to have a railroad connection
with the rest of the world. General
Thomas and Messrs Martin and Neff,
contractors, have arrived and COM
menced work on the old railroad
bed to Lecomte On Bayou Boenf'
This road, sixteen miles long, has
been purchased from its former own
er, Ralph S, Smith, Esq, by a North
ern company who have ample means
to carry through whatever they IN
dertake. The road is to be extend
ed rapidly to Vermillionville, where
it will connect with the Morgan road,
and also TO Shreveport, where it will
connect with the Southern Pacific
Railroad. We think that with the
energy and means of the company
we may expect to have railroad con-
nection with New Orleans at no dis
tant day.
Alexandria, being a central point
on the road, and the head of naviga-
ton for a great part of the year,
should be made the point from which
to work in either direction. Here
should be the workshops and the de-
pot for the shipping and landing OF
the material. This thing alone would
suffice to make our Town an impor-
tant point; and the value of such
works in the way of enticing immi-
grants, skilled laborers, and the dis
bursement of money, cannot be over
estimated. Of the importance to
Alexandria, to Rapides aud to Lou
isiana, of having a railroad passing
through tue heart of the State, wc
have spoken so often that it is use
less to recapitulate our arguments.
f Men of means and industry, there
fore, who come among us to develop
our resources should be received with
1 open arms. They ask no money ant
4 expect none from people as impov
crushed as we are. They only wan
jealous encouragement and coop
Grafton in heir great work, and this
we can confidently promise them
The great question with us now is
shall we have railroad?

Pat and the Pig.

A countryman having killed a pig,
and not wishing to divide with his
neighhors, as was the custom IN that
country, said to his man, (wh", ny the
way, was a son of the Emerald lsie:)
'.Pat, if l give all my neishbors VINO
have given me, a piece of my pork
III have none left for myself. Can
Won tell ne what l am to y
"Bedad, sir" said Pat, "it's myself
that can do that same thing"
"Good!" says the coantryman, 'no-
hing his hands and looking at Pat
"Now tell me what I can do"
"Faith, sir" said Pat, "snre ana
when tile craythur is cleaned, just oe
after hanging it up against the door,
where every mothers son of them VII

any one is about, git up and take III

when your neishbors come, just be al

"Capital idea. Pat" exclaimed the
countryman, "I'll do it, by st. George

the neighbors might see it. The coun

preaching night, and at last retired It

err of the darkness, crept round am
stole the pig.
7 What was the establishment Of til
ccuntryman, when at early dawn b
arose to hide away his pig, but f"nn
no pig there, can better be imagine
than described. In the midst of hi
bewilderment, Pat came in with his us

PLASTER OF PARIS AS A MANURE FOR
VINEs.-I have large quantity of grape
vines planted in the open ground, and
trained on poles and wires along the
gravel walks. In planting these l had
the holes dug about twenty-five inches
deep; then threw into each hole five
or six Jumps Of old plaster, about the
size of my fist. l threw a little earth
over these Jumps, and then planted the
vines in the usual way. The result has
been wonderful; the vines, which were
not half an inch thick when planted
three years ago, are now two inches
and more in diameter, and bear finely.
The grapes are also freer from disease.
Other vines, not so treated, are much
smaller and produce less, the fruit be-
ing also more liable to disease. To try
the effect of this plaster, in planting
| two American black walnnts we put
the plaster to the one and not to the
other. The former grew twice as fas
as the other. Last year we dug abou
the roots of the one to which no plastel
was put, and we threw in seven or eigh
Jumps of plaster among the roots; thu
trees are now both of the same size
and, though only four years old, ar
sixteen to seventeen feet high.-[P. z.

Ey The epizootic has developed in
Cleaveland, among other things, vast
deal of marital devotion. The wife of
one gentleman desired to attend the
Patti concert, but was in feeble health
and unable to walk. The husband put
her into a stout baby carriage and pro-
cecded straishtway to the hall where
Patti was to sing, and at the close of
the entertainment trundled his spouse
home in the same style. Another wife
desired to attend the wedding of a
friend, some distance away from her
residence, but the horses were all sick
and a carriage could not be had for
love or money. Carefully wrapping
her up and depositing her OH the seat
of light buggy, the husband took his
place between HE tlills and for the
once "played horse" most successfully

December 5, at Kuhn's European
Hotel on Dearborn 'treet. A thief
entered the room OF n. Aronson, an
importer of watches and a manufat-
turer of iewelry, whose place OF bust
ness is at Bond street, New York,
broke open sample trunk, aud car
ried off its entire contents, valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000. It appears
that the thief, who is believed to be
a professional from New York, was
stopping at the same hotel and COM
milted the robbery while MIR. Aron,

into carpet-bag and walked delib'
ately stairs to the Office, paid

DIDN'T LIKE MUTToN.-A good story
is told of the recent excellent perform
ance of Handel's ''Messiah" at a Bap-
fist Church: A farmer took his wife to
hear the grand music so splendidly rem
dered on that oc. aston, and after listen
ing with apparent enjoyment, the pair
became suddenly interested in one of
the grand choruses: "We all, like
sheep, have gone astray." First a
sharp soprano voice exclaimed: "We
all, like sheep" Next a deep bass
voice uttered, in the most earnest tone
eve all, like sheep" Then all the
singers at once asserted: "We all, like
Sheep "Darn'd if do" exclaimed
old Rusticus to his partner. 81 like
beef and bacon, but can't bear sheer
meat" There was an audible litter in
that vicinity, but the splendid music at
tracted attention from the pair, and the.
quietly slipped out.

DurclI's Decision.

After long discussion of the ques-
ton Judge Durell has rendered his
decision in the case Of Kellogg VS..
Warmoth. He adjudges the "En
forcement Act" constitutional ard
claims jurisdiction Of all the points
in the case before the Court. He
enioins Warmoth from counting any
of the votes cast at the late election
except as member of the fictitious
Radical Returning Board who can
outvote him. He places the State
House in charge of the United States
Marshall, backed by two companies
of Federal troops, to prevent the as
sembling Of the regularly elected
State Legislature. In the mean time
the Radical Returning Board has
counted in Legislature, with a large
Radical majority in each branch,
without ever seeing the returns from
q single parish, or without ever car
ing what they were.
The upshot of this decision is that
the Federal Court has the right &c

The right to contest elections yestet

of anarchy and misrule, with thel
disastrous effects on the property o

Coon TASTE IN DHEss.-It is q mista-
ken economy to furnish up faded artl-
Gle because it was expensive, for the
poor remnant Of the past will always
tell its own story. A neat, pretty calico
or lawn tasteiully made is more becom-
ing than furnished tinery, soiled silk or
rusty alpacas. Where but few additions
to wardrobe can be made they should
be selected always to harmonic with
the purse first, then the form, complex
ion and whatever else is left of the year
before, that striking contrasts may be
avoided.
A French woman, however poor, has
always the appearance of freshness and
novelty. If she needs new boots, and
can have but one pair, although her in-
clination point to drab or bronze boots,
she chooses black, as for economy and
taste combined her best dress is proba-
blv black, She needs new gloves, or
bonnet ribbon; before purchasing she
looks over her boxes and finds perhaps
her best necktie is pink; she cannot
wear pink gloves nor carry pink para
sol: therefore she wisely decides upon
roses for her bonnet, and drab ribbon,
drab gloves, and drab parasol, perhaps
frightened with pink lining, the roses
and necktie 'freshen admirably the 9th,
erwise sombre attire, which is i'll excel
lent taste.
A young lady may think herself very
fashionably dressed in green gloves
blue bonnet, and scarlet flowers, ant
purple dress, because erch article in it
self was costly and we'll made; but in
stead of being fashionable it would b.
in exceedingly bad taste, as howeyc
we may admire the rainbows in tn
sky, they are tawdry on the street.
American women of fashion and wealth
are now beginning to display grea
tast, in costumes by dressing in uni
form colors, and this requires grea
outlay of money, each suit having COZ
responding gloves, bonnets, parasol;
ETC., furnished by the dressmakers.-
l But with goods so cheap as to be reali
! bargains, and fashion magazines file
with patterns and good advice every f.
cility is given those upon whom forum
= has failed to smile, in the way of mai
ing pretty, tasteful and inexpensive to
