"a mistake" | repeated stupid
eyes You see it arose from an
internal custom they have OF re-
ncating over and over again the
same name in the family. There
was Laura's grandmother-her
name was Laura Smith, you see;
and Laura's mother was Laura
smith, too; and by some queer
COINCIDENCE the sister of Laura's
f.ther was called Laura, after a
great aunt by the name of Smith ;
and her name-that is sister OF
Laura's father-being Laura-that
made another Laura Smith-so
when Laura-my Laura, you know
was born, nothing would do bit
she must be called Laura too, anu
her name being Smith, there was
another Laura Smith. But, you
see, the misfortune OF the thing
was that your letter was only adj
dressed to Miss Laura Smith; and
Laura-that is my Laura-and
Miss Smith-that is, Miss Laura
Smith, my Laura's aunt, you see
thought the letter was addressed to
her; and your Laura sent my Lau-

No UNCEETAIE SOUND. WI Il man
discovers n great truth, it is his duty To
proclaim it to his fellow man. The use
Of DIR. WALKER's VINEGAR BIrfERs can
not be too strongly recommended TO the
invalid public. 70 those who have tried
it, nothing need be saiG-their expert
ence is their proof, pure and positive rs
Holy Writ. 10 those who have not tried
it, these truths cannot be too often re-
peated. 1t is a certain vegetable spe-
cilic, which aids f~altering nature against
the ~triumphs of dyspepsia, bilious dis
orders of every kind, malarious f~evers,
constipation of the bowels, liver COM
plant, Spring and Fall debility, etc,
etc. 1t costs but little, and can always
be at hand. 1t is the poor mans friend.
IL saves a doctors bill, and the time lost
in riding five, ten OF twenty miles after
him; besides being free from all the
poisonous indictments of the pharma-
copnia. 1t will not stimulate you to-
day to leave you weaker tomorrow. It's
benefits are permanent. ICON.

now, the mines waiting for company to
lease it, Mr.. Avery will furnish every
facility to visitors to see all that is interest
ing or instructive, and combinations or in
dividuals can learn particulars from Mr..
Tupper, No. 26 Carordelet street. Here is
golden opportunity for capital to more
than double itself in an extraordinary short
space OF time.
This salt is not only superior to any ia
the world, but is sold at less rates, and
when the mines shall be in successful oper-
alton the price can be made so low that no
producer can compete with it. The three
grades bulk, coarse and table, can be
placed on the market with but little trouble
and expense as soon as railroad shall be
constructed from the island to New Iberia.
At the mine are requisite crushers, of SIM
pie construction, fully prepared to supply
a vast amount. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that this source of internal wealth will be
fully developed at an early day. If our
own capitalists do not interest thems elves
in it, then gentlemen from other sections
will make the best Of this fine opening.

Asking for a Mail.

The mail contractor for points between
this city and Opelousas serves his route
quite satisfactorily, but there is an interest
ing section on Bayou Teche, in big bend,
between New Iberia and st. Martinsville,
which is cut off, as the mail takes an over
land course between the two villages
named, consequently all who reside on the
Teche, for distance of thirty miles, must
go to one of these two postoffices for mail
matter. These people think themselves
entitled to something, and have prepared a
memorial to Mr.. Creswell asking for mail
by the water route, and they will probably
be Accommodated.

National /" Air Line.''

For number Of years Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens zealously advocated in Congress
new railroad route between the national
capital and the metropolis Of the north
New York. The Penneyl vania Central
managers realizing the necessity Of this
new air line, have been for years building
tunnel under the city Of Baltimore, so that
trains can make close connections, doing
away with horse transfers in Baltimore.
This tunnel was completed last month,
and now through trains are running on
quick time. passing through some of the
fines. scenery in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vaniA. making close connections with all
south and southeast bound trains. The
road is double tracked and stone ballasted,
and are running the most elegant coaches
to be found in America.
