Now Orleans Republican,

There was . great Republican love-feast
in Plaquemines the other day, which some
how has not got into the papers--especially
the Fusion papers. The colored people
gathered in great force, and passed resolu-
tions strongly indorsing leading Republi-
cans, and Rledgingtheir aid to the support
of the State administration, which was
voted for by a number ofthe leading white
citizens of the parish, who were present.
But this is not all. They captured, bag and
baggage, that jolly planter, bingham
Lawrence, who was the Fusion candidate
for Congress last fall, and who has always
been personally very popular with the col
ored people of Plaquemines. They invited
him to speak, and the fact that they cheer
cd what he said il evidence enough that he
made pretty good Republican speech. He
advised all classes to pay their taxes and
give in their adherence to the kellogg gov
ernment. This borrows peculiar signih cance
from the known fact that Mr.. Lawrence
has been in close conferer 90 with all the
leading Republican congressman and Sena-
tors who have recently been among us,
and some of whom, it is claimed, will advo-
cato giving him the seat he claims in Con-
gress. A number of other planter lave

wise . plan by which q Legislature could
be rot together, tho authority of which
shonld be unquestioned, tho immediate
Gauss. of dispute would BE- praotieally ne
moved. It does not seem as IL this should
b unattainable. IL will be remembered
that there were not in either Legislature
enough members whose election was undis-
putcd 70 make . quorum but there were
in the two Legislatures, taken together,
more than enough members who were re-
tuned q elected by both boards, to con-
stitut6 q quorum. Here, then, IL the ma

body. Il ought to be used, and Gov. kellogg
to exhaust every honorable means to get il
together in one body. If this could be done,
tho contested seats might be vacated by
the consent of all parties concerned, and
new elections be ordered. Such IN arrange
ment would not require general election,
and would, on that account, be desirable.
But in whatever way the creation of the
contested seats should be disposed Of, it is
plain that some way would opeu II only .
working majority of members ofthe Legis-
lature ofundispnted regularity conld be OBJ

the sacrifice ofsome pref ensioas the sur
render of some personal interesss, and the
abandonment Of personal pride. If the men
who now control Affairs in Iouisiana are
capable Of these, they can perform great
service to their State and to the country,
and win for themselves the respect of the

ing state prey to internsl '1issension
and violence, the President would have
been justified in leaving tho tw o factions
to 6gHt il out among themselves in Lauisi-
ana. No matter what principles may un-
derlie the differences between the two, the
Kellogg party had resorted to fia,ld TO OBJ
tain power, and could only, w, believe,

ment could have maintained itself without
utter ruin to the prosperity of the State,
If the oppositian-which Is undoubtedly
formidable, If not the largest numerically

But Mr.. McEnery Lounsels submission.
at would be, he says, "but folly and mad
ness to intcrpose any resistance likely to
bring US into conflict with the national an-
thority." Il is more than that; it il wise
to refrain from s1ch resistance if the only
motive were to secure the sympathy of the
country at largo. The appeal they Iaake by
their present attitude to the justice of Con-
gress cannot be without its effect next win
ter. The outrage which Is now inflicted
upon them by the President will inevitably
bring about reaction in the public mind
which they may, if they are wise in other
things, % use a. to put their enemies under
their feet, and bring pesce and prosperity

A hen belonging to Mrs Mayo, of
this place, Matched a brood Of chickens.
They took the chickens away. but the hen
persisted in returning to her nest. Be
low the nest, in grain house, cat pro-
duced litter Of kittens. The cat leav-
ing her charge few minutes, biddy set
herself very composedly upon the kit
tens. Puss returning, fight ensued,
in which puss was victorious. Afraid Of
what might happen, puss remained in
charge till compelled by hunger go after
food, whereupon biddy resumed the care
of the kittens. Puss returning, and
having a vivid remembrance Of what she
suffered at the first encounter, concluded
to allow biddy to remain. This she did
till it was discovered that she had
smothered some of the kittens, when the
latter were removed and given over to
their rightful guardian

The Shah Witnesses Prize-Fight.

Yesterday the Shah was greatly en-
tertained by the Marquis of Queens
berry, who brought to the palace num-
Der of prize-fghters. Gen. Hardinge,
who was on duty at the time, was quite
Mortified. "How many of them have
you got?" asked he of the Marquis.
"Six, . was the reply. Ny God p ex-
claimed the General, "we can't let six
go in they might knock us all on the
head and walk off with all the jewels
and plate" A compromise was effected !;
two of the best of the brtlisers were al
lowed to enter with the Marquis. They
first fought with each other, and then
the Marquis, who is the best boxer in
the kingdom, tried a few rounds with
each of them, handsomely drawing the
claret from one, and knocking down the
other. The Shah was perfectly charmed
He said it was the best thing he had
seen in England. He gave each of the
men a handful of coin, and bestowed
upon the Marquis a magnificent pipe,
mounted with rubies and emeralds.-

Amateur Vaccination.

A fastidious young gentleman of Phil
adelphia was SO afraid of being vaccin-
ated with impure virus that he got a
lady friend to save him that which she
took from her baby's arm. He called
for it one evening, and, while examining
the delicate morsel, it fell to the floor.
A. long search, however, recovered it,
and he went home triumphant. He
rolled up his sleeves, cut the fine little
gashes, and laid on the virus. In few
hours his arm began TO swell, and
panied him so that he sent for doctor.
The doctor soon arrived, and, after ex-
aiming the swollen limb; requested to
see the virus. The gentleman said that
it was not worth while, as he had just
taken it from little baby, and could
vouch for its purity. The doctor, how
ever, insisted, and little piece was
found, which, upon examination, proved
to be a part of a crushed cockroach.
The real virus had been lost, and the
gentleman mistook the crisp roach skin
for the lost article. The next time he
gets vaccinated he will go for doctor.

OF these veritable nondcscripts is now in
the possession of Mr.. G. H. Ewell, of
Rocky Nook, Plymouth, Mass The
parent bird had built near his residence,
but no notice had been taken of the lit
tie family, until few days since, as Mr..
Ewell was passing under the tree, the
young bird became alarmed and took to
flight. Noticing the strange appearance
of this particular bird, Mr. Ewell
secured him and now has him caged-a
study for naturalists and wonder for
those who have never before seen the
like. The bird appears in all respects
like robin, with the exception of the
plumage, which is entirely white.

Dear Sirs-During a long residence in China, 1
have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both in nv
own family and among the Chinese. and have found
it a most excellent medicine In the summer of 80
and 63, while residing in Shanghai, found it an
almost certain cure for Cholera, if used in time.
Indeed, using it in great many instances, l do
not remember failing in a single case. For three
years have been residing in this place. than
fifty miles from physician and have been Obliged
often to fall back upon my own resources in cases
of sickness. The Chinese come to us in great
numbers for medicine and advice. Though with
out medical knowledge ourselves, the few simple
remedies We can command are SO much in advance
even of their physicians, that we have almost
daily applications. We allow them to come, be-
cause it brings in eccta>t with them, and opens
door to usefulness. In diarrhea, collie vomiting,
cholera coughs, &c, your Pain Killer has been my
chief medicine. Yours, very truly,

Castle was sad stumbling block in the
path of Bunyan's Christian, though it
couldn't bar his way to Truth. We can
sympathize with the pilgrim, for doubt
always besets us when we are asked to
believe anything particularly e1traor-
binary. Consequently, when we heard,
some eighteen months ago, that physi-
clan in California had compounded,
from the juices and extracts of certain
herbs found there, medicine that cured
almost every variety of blood disease,
we were incredulous. Since then we
have had opportunities of testing the
accuracy of the report, and are free to
admit that our doubts have vanished.
Seeing what we have seen, knowing
what we know, it is impossible for us to
question the remedial properties of DIR.
