a pretended Legislature has been or
sanized and now takes it's cowardly re-
tuge. As "the thief doth fear each
bush an officer" so these frauds upon
the people, covering behind the gal
lant soldiers of the Republic, imagine
every word from you to I've a menace
against their miserable existence and
see the air filled with plantom daggers.
Nor have they been slow in their
deeds of mischief. They have preten-
ded to impeach and suspend the Chief
Executive of the State, without an affi-
davit or an examination, well knowing
that such course was in fiat violation
of the law which has stood upon our
statute book for nearly twenty years.
They have put in his place, as a pre-
tended Lieutenant and Acting Cover
nor, Il person whose term of Office had
long ago expired. They have passed
resolutions to blackmail the most i'm
pOrtant corporations of the State by
pretended Investigations from Which
they desire to be bought off. They
have organized new and strange
schemes of plumber. They have bull
lied and inundated the judiciary by
abolshing courts ofjustice. They have
created a new court with exclusive .iu-
risdiction of questions of Office and
procured the appointment thereto as
Judge, a member of theiv pretended
Returning Board who is pledged to de-
eide every question in their favor
Aud their daily boast is that they are
sustained in all this by the Federal Of
fee holders, who, it may be also re-
marked, are largely represented in
their ranks.
The whole story of this nsurpation,
commencing in August, 1871, and cul-
minating in THIS capture of the State
House of Louisiana, is one of the sad
DIES; in the history of the country.

~ A New York paper contains
criticism upon the present fashions pre-
.vailing among the ladies, 1t is particu-
larly hostile to low-neckcd dresses, and
says the decentralization in this respect
has almost reached the degree of de-
pravity which existed at the most cor
rupt period of French history. There
is undoubtedly much in the present
styles that is Objectionable to the sober
sons of reason and JUDGMENT; and the
improper advances which we are told
young men sometimes make toward
young ladies may to some extent be
traced to this evil. Party dresses are
now cut solely with view to exhibit
the rotund neck and welI-deyeloped bust
to the greatest advantage. Both should
be developed in thick gauze-impene-
trable to the eye-or the dresses should
be cut high-necked. Ladies cannot act
upon 4 safer plan than that adopted by
the traveller who wisely hides from view
his most costly jewels lest they tempt
the cupidity of the robber on the
plains.

CLEANING CHIMNEYS.

On the subject of cleaning SCOT from
chimneys, a member of the New York
Farmers Club says: SIN localities where
the services of professional chimney
sweepers cannot be obtained, one can re-
move the SCOT from his chimneys
in a few minutes, by attaching a
weight to small bundle of hay
or straw, and letting it down the fiue
by means of small rope, then drawing
it up again. The bundle should be of
the proper size to pass down the fiue,
drawn by a weight of twenty or thirty
pounds. By moving the bundle up and
down a few times the inside of the flue
will be swept so clean that the SCOT will
not be ignited by ascending sparks of
fire. When large quantity of soft wood
is employed as fuel, either in stove,
range or fireplace, SCOT will accumulate
so rapidly that it viii hang in large scales
to the sides of the fiue, which, if not
removed, will often take fire. rise to the
top of the chimney while burning, and
fall on the roof while the scales are still
in blaze. Thousands of dwelling houses
have been set on fire by this means. As
SCOT is more valuable as fertilizer thar
superphosphate for promoting the growth
OF grass, flowers, fruit of any sort OF
growing vegetables, it will pay well te
save it and scatter it around about frui
trees, or put couple of handfuls vel
spread out around every cabbage, hill o

THE STUDENTS TRICK.

A young man of eighteen or twenty, a
tulent in university, took walk one
day with professor. who was commonly
called the students friend. such was his
Kindness TO tie young men whom it was
his office to instruct While they were
walking together and the professor was
seeking to lead the conversation to grave
subjects. they saw a pair of old shoes
lying in their path. which they supposed
belonging to poor man who was at work
close by. and who had nearly finished his
days work.
The youngstudent turned to the pro-
fessor. saying, Let us play the man a
trick we will hide his shoes and conceal
ourselves behind those bushes. and wa eli
to see his perrlexiry when he cannot find
them.
My dear friend" answered the pro
fessor, we must never amuse curse yes
at the expense of the poor. But you are
rich. and you may give yourself m"ci'
greater pleasure. Put dollar into each
shoe. and then we will hide ourselves "
The student did so, and then placed
himself with the professor behind the
bushes close By, through which they could
easily watch the lahorer. and see what
ever wonder or joy he might express.
The poor man soon finished his work,
and came across the field to the path.

While h. put on the coat he slipped one
foot into one of his shoes, but feeling

SWARMING REES

A bee-keeper gives the following plan
to prevent swarm of bees from getting
iar away from the hive, with the state
ment that after ten years experience he
has never known it to fail once As
soon as they show the first symptom of
sWarmlng, stop up most of the outlets of
che hive, SO as to force them to be a con-
siderable time coming out. The swarm
beng made up in part of young bees,
many OF whom cannot fly well, and as
nothing can be done by the swarm until
all are out, they fly about in the air; by
2rolonging their exit, the feeble ones be-
come tired, and finding their plans frus-
rated, they alight to rearrange their

REMEDY FOR LEECHES IN THE LIVER OF
SHEEP.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1873-06-05

Our correspondent in Clackamas coun-
ty, Oregon, having read the symptoms
of leeches in the liver of sheep, as given
by our correspondent in Lane county,
and published on page 81 of the month
~ reports for 1872, states that, fifteen to
eighteen years ago, a disease prevailed
among the sheep in Clackamas county,
of which the symptoms were in all re-
spects the same, and it was ascertained
that they originated in the same cause.
The local name by which the disease was
then known was ''swelled jaw" Hun
dreds upon hundreds of sheep died
of it. After many Intellectual expert
ments for remedies had been tried, a
farmer dissected one of the many sheep
which had died out of his flock and
found its liver filed with leeches. Among
other applications to the living leeches,
he tried saleratus, and found that it kill
ed them Immediately. He then mixed
salcratus with the salt given to the dis
eased sheep. They soon began to re-
cover. In a short time all were WE'LL
The news of the discovered remedy
spread. Others tried it with equal sue
cess. Within a few months there were
no sheep in the region affected with the
disease, and since that time our CORES
poDdent has never heard of another case
in the county.-Agricplturdi Report
