HNHERE are no diseases so facilitating in
i their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure In cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove q preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating it from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.

every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputation Is EstdbIishsd. = Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There is no Risk In Taking Them. - They
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.

THE GLORIOUS TIDINGs.

We have waited a long time, very long
time, have borne disappointment after dis
appointment with JOb-like patience and
resignation, until hope, which the poet
would make MS believe, "sprlngs eternal in
the human breast" had almost died out,
when suddenly, like clap Of thunder from
IA clear sky, without the slightest Fremont
ton, came the glad tidngs, "Durell is to be
mpeached.'
There was not a man, woman, nor child
within the broad limits of our unhappy
State, save the very few who are bound to
the Usurper by bonds of gold who did not
breathe more freely and utter audible thanks
for the glimmer Of daylight thus vouch-
saftd.
There is not in all the broad lard any
man whose conscience is free and unbiased
who will not say that the action Of the
judiciary Committee is em;nently proper,
and who does not hope that the man who
has brought all this misery and ruin upon
Louisiana may be made such an example of
as will be warning to the judiciary for
all time to come.
With Durell impeached, what becomes of
Mr.. Kellogg and the usurpation which
Durell set ups Is the man who committed
the crime to be punished and the crime to
be permitted to exist We trow not. With
the rotten prop of the usurpation kicked
aside the usurpaton itself must fall.

The intelligent reader will conclude at
glance that Milton Jones either stated to
our informants and reporter what was false,
or his card is forgery and an imposition.
But if the truth of the matter could be
known, this marked discrepancy between
his verbal statements and his published
card, would appear very simple. After
talking, as he is clearly proved to have done
by four witnesses, whose veracity is not to
be compared with his, and Clinton finding
it wculd be profitable to quiet his babblng
tongue, by some means-we will not say
how-persuaded Jones to publish the above
card
Believing that the BULLETIN, like them
selves. was q ven to publishing statements
it could not verify, and hoping, that in this
instance it could be made to retract, those
two sheets readily jumped at this Negroes
card because they believed it cornered the
BULLETIN But they reckoned without
their host In violation of all propriety and
decency, and to the insult of the com
munity, the Picaynne and Times give place
negro Milton Jones, of the Kellogg Legisla-
tlre, who is dsrepntable character, and
one of the plunderers of the State.
Instead Of joining rs in exposing and de-
nouncing such public enemies, they prefer.
because it pays better, we suppose, to give
the use Of their columns to break down our
efforts and to bolster up such as have fat
tened and grown rich upon the life blood Of
the people
We doubt not the community here will
fully understand and appreciate the conduct
of those papers having " the largest circu-
lation in the Southwest At the same time
it will be well for them to remember and
observe the difference between the organs
of the negro and the usurpation, and the re
preventative Of the white man and decent
and respectable people of Louisiana.

TRADESMEN'S TRICKS.
HOW AMERICANS ARE FLEECED IN PARIS
ICorrespondence PHILADELPHIA Pressl

HOW AMERICANS ARE FLEECED IN PARIS.
Correspondence Philadelphia Press.l
The manner in which Americans arc
treated by the Partisan tradesmen is thus
wildly pictured by q correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press:
l am almost ashamed to multiply instances
of axtortion and cheating on the part of
French trade people towards their American
customers but, for the sake of warning
those among my countrymen and country
women who may contemplate summer
voyage to Europe, with it's attendant round
of Partisan shopping, I will mention tho
last two cases which lately came under our
observation. The first was that of lady
who ordered black silk suit from dress
maker, for certain price, the dressmaker
having shown her q pattern of the silk
which she said she intended to use, and
which was Of very good quality. When
the dress was sent home 1t was found to be
composed of material far inferior to that of
the sample shown The purchaser consulted
a lawyer. Have You piece,Of the pattern
which was FIRST offered to you 2" asked ho
"No," was the reply. Then, Madam, you
can obtain no redress: yOn cannot prove
your case"
The second sample was still more fragrant,
A young American lady ordered a quantity
of articles from one of the first-class houses
here, accompanying the order with minute
and written directions as to the material,
style, and quality Of each and every article
In due course Of time the things were sent
home, corresponding in no one particular
with the orders given, and accompanied by
a note, wherein the proprietor lamented his
inability to comply with the terms of the
order, but hoping that the things he sent
would suit. They did not suit at all, and
the lady instantly returned them, whereup
on she received q very insOlent note from
the proprietor. who said he would make her
take them, and threatened legal proceedings.
Unfortunately she had destroyed the irst
note sent with the articles, so she had no
positive evidence that her or Ter had not
been complied with, In this dilemma she
consulted a cOmpatriCte who had resided for
several years in Paris. any DEAR" said her
adviser elf you stay here the man will in
fallibly sue you, and willcertainly gain tho
suit, for the courts here always give judg-
ment against an American in such cases.
My advice to you is to pack your trunks and
go quietly over to England as you are to
sail for home in a few weeks, few days
here, more or less, will not much matter"
The lady took her friends advice, thus only
escaping from fragrant piece of swindling
by actual flight.
Therefore l say INTO my fellow citizens,
take care what You do when you deal with
a Partisan tradesman or hotel keeper. Let
your agreements for rooms or dresses, or
jewelry, or in fact any other article DO put
in black and white, and preserve the writing
carefully. And then, ten to one, but you
will BIC cheated at last.

THE LATEsT-A Chicago inventor has in
his brain novel plan of railway travel.
He does not describe it fully, deeming it in
expedient to do so, but from what he says
it may be inferred that his system comprises
an elevated shaft or rail, from which light
passenger cars are to be suspended, and
over Tor rather under) which they are to be
propelled at the rate of one hundred miles
an hour. As the cars will be swung in air,
sufficiently high to avoid all distractions,
no danger would be apprehended from acct
dents at crossings, collisions with country
wag ms, running over cattle, and the like.
There would be no delays from land slides,
heavy SHOWS, and other causes which impede
railway travel. In other words, the passen-
gers would speed along, perfectly Indifferent
as to what might be below them, and with
the assurance of entire safety from acct
dents. The inventor thinks the plan en-
tirely practicable, and in this age of pro-
gress and invention We may be prepared for
almost anything, no matter how marvellous.

A NOVEL RAILWAY SUIT OF FIVE Hun
DRIED THOUSAND DOILARs.-ID 1866, a
sleepy traveller on the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad was carried by his point
OF debarkatiOn, owing to the station not
being called. He was q member of the
Legislature, and introduced bill where it
is provided that conductors of passenger
trains shall call ont at each station, in q
loud voice, its name and the length Of time
the train is to stop. Fer each failure to do
SO the road must pay penalty Of one hun
dred dollars. His declarations are printed,
and consist of two thousand five hundred
counts, the aggregate Of penalty amounting
to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
This is the amount claimed for failure to
call the names of the station, and two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars more is
claimed for the failure to call the stopping
time, making in all half million dollars.
The law is very distinct, and it is not easy
to see how the road can escape the penalty.
The law provides that half Of the penalty
shall 60 to the complainant.

sum OF $3.50, 100000. Henry Will lam Golding

served on the officers of the Company, and
the petition sets forth, among other points,

secure $l6 900 coupon bonds, and that an
assignment was made for that purpose, de-

accept the bonds of the company payable in
twenty years; moreover that the company
performed an act Of bankruptcy in trans
terring its road and appnrtenancts to the
Union Trust Company, said transfer being
recorded as mortgage in every county
through which the road runs. 1t is claimed

SUPPRESSED STANZAs.-Gray was the
most fastidious of poets, and so severe was
his TASTE that he expunged the following
beautiful stanzas from his immortal 'EIegy
in Country Churchyard." Even Lord
Byron said in his Diary, February 81, 1921,
g. wonder that Gray could have had the
heart to omit such lines:
Here, scattered Oft, the earliest Of the year,
By hands unseen, are showers of v Diets found

Gray are superior to the finished compost
