HE SAILING FEVER ALMOST EPIDEMIC
Gradually for few summers past several
kgentlemen have made some progress in
pducing their friends to enter into such
port as is furnished by sailing on the lake,
md at last their efforts have resulted in
yachts have been launched on Lake Pom
|chartrain, and almost every evening many
eail may be seen aflOat, the vessels contain
ing pleased excursionists. Administrator
brewster has just received a new Yacht
from New Ysrk, very complete in all its
parts, prettily finished, named Meteor"
She is twenty-eight feet long, and from one
or two trials it is thought her speed is as
great, if not greater than anything of her
dimensions in this section.
Surveyor Bell has a new yacht, the
Oracle Darling, a home production, and
will never be the last in when a race is
given. There are several other craft at the
lake, most OF them possessing such merit
that their admirers will venture something
on them. Others seeing how the amateurs
enjoy aquatic sports intend to participate,
and already several orders have been made
for pleasure boats. Members Of the boat
clubs enter into the amusement vigorously,
and find that the recreation is not only whole
some, but inexpensive. In fact this style of
amusement has obtained fast hold in the
minds of hundreds of our young men, and
il is well, Tor when INDUCING IN sail or
exercising body the at the oar, they are not
idling their time in bar-rooms or worse
places.
Those who profess to know assert, and
roundly, too, that water sports have very
humanizing influence. Timid people will,
perhaps, oppose the growing fever, holding
Ap the perils of wind and wave, forgetting
that thousands of people lose their lives by
accident on solid ground. The argument is
as good one way as it is the other, therefore
let US have yachting until the season closes.
New Orleans has but few fast eailers, but
if the present spirit continues we will next
summer be able to make favorable race.
1t is hoped that gentlemen owning fine YES
sells will soon give friendly contest, for
thousands Of our citizens never witnessed
anything Of the kind, and to such the
novelty would be very gratifying. There
is sufficient room in the lake Oft the Pontcb-
artrain railroad wharf for a dozen contest
ants. therefore, why can not we have good
square race

ATTEMPT To AssAssINATE.-Ihere was
something of a row on Chippewa, between
Second and Third streets, about one O'Clock
Yesterday morning. and it is intimated tna AT
:he Quarrel was raised for the purpose OF
assassinating Mr. Sauce, who Is employed
n grocery at the corner of Magazine and
PHILIP streets. During the quarrel several
;elows were struck, and some one of the
party fired shot, the bullet entering
SAUCES breast, inhicting wound whicn
Will probably cause his death. AS soon as
me Shot was fred the men and women ran
away, but Officer Duffy succeeded in over
:aking and arresting Dick FORESTER, Oliver
johnson, Carrie jackson, Ellen simpson,
Alice Peters, David Jackson and William
Scott. 1t is thought that johnson, or a

.ired the shot. Sauce was sent to his home,
No. 1853 jackson street, where DR.. Norman
attended him. Sauce says he believes that
Johnson is aware Of all the circumstances.

How TO Battle Disease.-The man who puts
bullet through his head dies more speedily than
he who is continually sending voleys Of strong,
cathartic pills down his throat but the drastic
pillets as fatal in the end the leader ball. 1t
is only a question of time Common sense should
teach everybody that the idea of expeling disease
by subverting the bodily vigor which is its natural
antagonist, is supremacy absurd. There should be
no purgation without inauguration and regulation.
These three processes should 20 on together, and
they do SO in all cases where Hostetter's Stomach
Btters are used as remedy for disease or for the
general debility growing out of TORPID state OF
the digestive and secretive organs. IN this great
vegetable restorative are mingled three essential
elements of cure purifying element, a tonic ele.
ment, and an antibous element. By these means
dyspepsia bilious disorders, intermittent fevers
sick headache, constipation and nervous debility
are readily cured and epidemic disease prevented.

"A WARNING.-Mechanics and all classes
OF workingmen who are warmly invited to
invest their small change in any kind
OF venture or institution are advised to
make minute inquiries before they part
with their money or put their name to
paper First ascertain if the leading men
are sound morally, and also learn if the
treasurer furnishes proper security that
will be able and willing to settle for fnan-
cial deliDquencies on the part of those in
trusted with the funds. Honest men can
not object to this advice, and by needing it
much misery will be avoided. The brains
OF grasping men are ever inventing schemes
by which they can obtain possession Of
other peoples wealth, and the present time
seems full of speculations which will even
tuate in nothing but regrets for those who
bite at the gilded hook.

BANKRrpr LAw.-In the decision Of the
Supreme Court OF the United State in the
Georgia Case, there occurs this language:
Congress cannot, by authorization or rat
ifcation, give the slightest effect to a State law
or constitution in conflict with the Constitution
of the u. S. That instrument is above and
beyond the power Of Congress and the States
and is alike obligatory upon both.
This being the law it rather knocks the
bottom out of the anendatory bankrupt law
passed by Congress, as well as the four years
abatement of interest provided for BY the Leg
islature of Virginia.; both impair the ob!lga-
ton of contracts. -Lou}oum Mirror.
