WORCESTERSHIRE hard
ly know a more pleasing sight
than while whistling along oh
various lines of railroads.&c. see a
farmhouse, with allits out-houses
and fences, exhibiting snowy
whiteness in striking contrast to
the green fields. 1t at once i'm
presses our mind that the occu-
pant ha4an idea of cleanlinessand
beauty. Apart from all this, it
is a preservation ofthe wood, and
it adds at least fifty per cent. to
the looks of the place, and in a
sanitary point of view its use can
not beovere estimated. Its cheap
ness places it in the reach Of all.
Why not use it freely?

DETECTING A LIE.-There
was once a physician-Dr. Will
Hams by name-who adopted an
original method for detecting a
liar. A boy who had been ac-
cused of some wrong doing, as
serted his innocence, when the
doctor, putting his finger on his
pulse, said: "Young man, you
are lying! You have not utter
ed one word of truth about this
matter! Your pulse is running
as high as 40, and no person en-
joying good health and telling
The truth would have as rapid pull
sation as that" This brought
the boy to his senses. He con-
fessed his guilt.

How To GET RID OF RATS AND
MIcE.-We get rid of rats by put
ting potash in their holes and runs.
The poor wretches get it on their
feet and over their fur, then they
lick it, and do not like the taste
of it; it burns them somewhat, aud
the more they see of it the less
they like it; SO they clear out al
most as soon as the application is
made. To get rid of mice we use
tariar-emetic mingled with any IA
vorite TODD; they take it, take sick,
and take their leave.

The Grand Army's Picnic. .

On Saturday next the Joseph A. Mower
Post, Grand Army of the Republic, will
remember the day we celebrate, by meet
ing for basket picnic at Hickok e Gardens,
Carrollton, to which all friends of the Post
are invited. The comrades of the Post will
turn out with loaded lunch baskets, and
the most timid reporter on the Picayune
staff will be we'll treated and receive their
protection.
The day which marks the anniversary OF
our national independence will be passed
in innocent amusement, incidental to which
will be music by band, dancing on the
platform, with a short address in the after
noon by Hugh j. Campbell, Esq.
In the absence of any organized plan oy
our city authorities, or militia, for the
proper observance of the fourth of July, we
consider the programme to be adopted by
our Grand Army boys good one. and be-
speak for them the kind forbearance of the
probabilities that rules showers, and war
rant pleasant time.

The COming Campaign.

In a very few wesks the political cam
paign in louisiana will open in serious
earnest. The Republican State Central
Committee has fixed upon the fifth day
of August for the State convention to
assemble. It will be the duty Of this body
to nominate aState Treasurer, and already
the list of candidates is long one. Fully
dozen gentlemen ofNew Orleans are will
ing to serve the people in tlAt important
office, while in the country arge number
of candidates are presenting themselves.
North Louisiana alone presens formida-
BILE array, the people of tht portion OF
the State claiming, and with sgood deal OF
propriety, that it is about time they
had representative on the State ticket.
Messrs. H. r. Steele, of Tensai G. T. Dunn,
of Moreheuse, Allan Greene, of Lincoln, j. S.
Harris, of Concordia and A. y. Brown. of
Madison, have each strong lcal backing,
but as only one can carry OF be prize it is
possible they may all crowd och other off
the track, and the convention 10 elsewhere
for . candidate. Then, agai5 there is
strong feeling in favor Of ren9inating Mr..
Dubuclet, and we would notle surprised
if he obtained the votes Of thi convention
after all. He has had the otce since the
reconstruction Of the State, ad never has
his personal integrity been peached in
all that time. In these days, Fhen official
misconduct is not uncommo1 the people
