The Radical Row.


New ORLEANS, January TO-. ! P. NJ.
AT five o'clock this morning a large
number of Watmoth's police, armed
with Winchester rifles, occupied Canal
street, at the corner OF Royal street,
with detachments occupying other streets
leading to the general hall. Several
citizens passing down Canal street to
Market were arrested by the police and
forbidden to pass down Royal street or
Exchange alley. The design OF War
moth is evidently to prevent a meeting
ofthe Carter Legislature to-day at the
appointed hour or to attempt the arrest
OF the members.
Tho First BIoodshed,
About FIVE o'clock yesterday after
noon while Isadore Mccormick and w.
w. McCullock, Assistant Sergeauts-at-
Arms for the Carter House OF Repre-
sentatives, were attempting to. arrest
Mathews, q member, scuffle ensued in
which Walter Wheyland was shot. He
died an hour later in the Governor S
parlor at the State House. Wheyland
claimed to represent the parish OF Sa-
bine, but had been expelled by the
Carter faction. The supposition is that
he was endeavoring TO prevent the
arrest Of Mathews. Col. S. D. Scott, a
citizen who witnessed the shooting, says
that when the scuttle commenced be-
tween McCullock and Wheyland, q
body of policemen ran across from Dry
ades street. Wheyland simultaneously
drew a pistol, when one OF the police,
men, not knowing Wheyland, and
doubtless thin king he was going to
shoot, fred upon him. This is the first
blood shed since the troubles com.
menced.

II is rumored on the streets that

Public sentiment is getting stronger
respecting the high handed measures oI

in consequence A meeting of the Reform

Take Care Of the Liver.

A liver secretes each day about two
pounds of bile, which contains q great
amount of waste material taken from
the blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or contested, 1t fails to eliminate
this vast amOnt of nOxious substance,
which therefore remains to poison the
blood and be conveyed to every part OF
the system. What must be the condi-
ton of the blood when it is receiving
and retaining each day two pounds Of
pOisOn2 Nature tries to work oil this
poison through other channels and Or
gans, the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc: |;
but these organs become Overtaxed In
performing this labor, in addition to
their natural functions, and cannot
long Withstand the pressure, but be-
come variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great centre
of vitality, is unduly stimulated by the
unhealthy blood which passes to 1T from
the heart, and it fails to perform its Of
flee healthfulIy. Hence the symptoms
of bile poisoning, which are dullness,
headache, incapacity to keep the mind
on any subject, impairment OF memory,
dizzy, sleepy or nervous feelings,
gloomy forebodings, and irritability OF
temper.
The perspiration becomes so irrita-
ting and poisonous that in connection
with the vjtiated blood, it produces dis
colored brown spots, pimples, blotches,
and other eruptions, sores, boils, car
bupcles, and scrofulOus humors. The
stomach, bowels, and other organs,
can not escape becoming affected soon
er or later, and costiveness, piles, drop
sy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, and many
other forms of chronic disease, are
among the necessary results.
How important, then, that the closest
attention should be paid to the condi-
of tine important organ named.

For the Last Time.

There is touch of pathos about
doing even the simplest thing "for the
last time" 1t is not alone kissing the
lips of the dead that gives you this
strange pain. You feel it when you
have looked your last time upon some
scene you have lOved-when you stand
in some quiet city street, where you
know that you will never stand again.
The actor playing his part for the last
time, the singer whose voice Is cracked
hopelessly and who after this once
Will never stand before the sea of
unturned faces disputing the plaudits
with fresher voices and fairer forms,
the minister who has preached his last
sermOn-these all know the hidden
bitterness of the two words "never
again.. How they came to us on birth
days as we grow older. Never again
yOung-always nearer and nearer to
the very last-the end which is uni
versal, 1.-THE last thing" which shall
follow all last things, and turn them
let us hope, from pains to joys. We
put away our boyish toys with an
odd headache. We were too old to
walk any longer on our stilts-toO tall
to play marbles on the sidewalk. Yet
there was pang when we thought
we had:played with our merry thoughts
for the last time, and life's serious,
grown-up work was waiting for us.
Now we do not want the lost toys
back. Life has other and larger play
things for us. May it not be that these,
too, shall seem in the light of some far
off day as the boyish games seem to our
manhood, and we shall learn that
death is but the opening of a gate into
the new land of promise?

The first point in this summary which
will attract the readers attention is the
fact that the names of the Southern States
all appear very near the head of the list.
Texas is the seventeenth on the list, and
Florida the fifteenth; Arkansas stands the
eleventh, and all the others precede it..
New York, with population, according to
the last census, of 4, ,392, 756, has debt of
less than $38, 900, 900, or almost So per
capita, while Louisiana, with a population
of only 726,9l5, and the twenty-fifth State
in the Union as regards the number of in
habitants, has a debt of over $50, 1000, 600,
or 81 per capita, and stands second on the
list. The same thing is true of our South
ern States when compared with their
Northern sisters. North Carolina, third
on the list, has a population of l,07l ,361.
and debt of $29, ,S99, ,645, being $28 per
capita in Massachusetts, the fourth State,
the same figures are, respectively, ,457,-
35l, So, ,560, ,664 and $22 Between Penn
sylvania and Alabama the discrepancy is
more marked. The former State has
population, 1881 ,95l; debt, $2S,656,S76
per capita, $S; the latter 6,992; $25.
isl, ,967 and SIS. In Missouri and Georgia
the per capita amounts are $l2 and SIS
in South Carolina and Maryland, $22 and
SIG; in Arkansas and Ohio, $23 and So,
and finally, in Connecticut and Florida,
$40 and $2s. Proceeding in the same
manner, but coupling those States which
are nearest alike in population, we obtain
the following results: In Louisiana and
Maryland the per capita amounts are, as
given above, $4l and SIG, or in compari-
son with Maine, $4l and $ll. Comparing
North Carolina and Wisconsin. we have
$2S and 50 respectively; Alabama and

ship.-COrrespondence Herald.
1t was not Robert but Gouverneur
Morris who ventured an undue famil-
iarity with the Father of his Country,
and he was toO-well bred or had not
the temerity to say "old fellow"
The anecdote was related by Alex
ander Hamilton to Judge Jacob Ben
net, of this city. Hamilton had at a
private gathering remarked that WASH
ington was cold and reserved, even to
his personal friends, and allowed no one
to be familiar with him. Gouverneur
Morris dissenting, Hamilton made the
following banter: eff you will, at the
next reception evening, gently slap him
on the shoulder and say: My dear
General, how happy am to see you
look so well, supper and wine shall
be provided for you and a dozen of
your friends"
Morris accepted the challenge, and
on the evening of the reception en-
tered early, bowed, and as he shook
hands put his lett hand on Washing
tons shoulder and said: "My dear
general, 1 am very happy to see you
look so well.' Washington withdrew
his hand and, with anger and indigna-
tion in his countenance, gazed at Morris
until the latter, abashed, sought refuge
in the midst of the assembled COM
pany. At the supper provided Morris
said: 81 have won the bet, but paid
dearly for it, and nothing could induce
me to repeat it. ."-Cincinnatj CONNER

Why should We Wear Boards.

There are more solid inducements fol
wearing the beard than the mere improve
ment Of mans personal appearance ant
the cultivation of such an aid to the every
day diplomacy of life. The hair of the
moustache not only absorbs the moisture
and miasma of the fogs, but it strains the
air from dust and SCOT of our great, smoky
cities. 1t acts also in the most scientific
manner, by taking heat from the warm
breath as it leaves the chest, and supply
ing it to the cold air taken in. 1t is not
only a resrirator, but with q beard entire
we are supplied with a comforter as we'll,
and these are never left at home like the
umbrella and all such appliances when
they are wanted. Moffatt and Livingstone,
the explorers, and many other travellers,
say that at night no wrapper can equal
the beard. A remarkable fact is, too,
that the beard, like the hair of the head,
protects against the heat of the sun; it
acts as the thatch does to the ice-house !;
but, more than this, it becomes moist with
perspiration, and then, by evaporation,
cools the skin. A man who accepts this
protection of nature may face the rudest
storm and the hardest winter. He may 20
from the hottest room into the coolest air
without dread; and we verify believe he
might sleep in morass with impunity; at
least his chance of escaping the terrible
fever would be better than his beardless
companions.-American Artisan.
