He. Myers the absconding Judge
of the 18th Judicial District, than
whom does not exist q more consu-
mate thief and liar, is, We see from
the Geographic dispatches, dele
gate to the Convention of "consre-
gated Dick TurpiuH" at Chattanooga.
Tennessee.
That settles the complexion of the.
affair at once, and to the minds of tue
people Of Natchitocbes, there can be
no more farcical thing than the fact Of
Myers being upon the committee Oh
"Facts and Statistics," for he is with
out doubt the grandest liar that ever
existed, and would not be believed
on oath up here. However, he is the
fright man in the right place" now,
aud if We do not have "rnw head and
bloody bones" in his report, then he
has forgotten Ills cunning.
Here arc few "facts" We xsk the
people to consider IN advance Of "his
report-viz: He ia. a thief and liar,
which We can prove BY his own friends
he stole all tho school fund in this
parish for the last four years, amount
ing to thousands of dollars.
He is tho originator Of the Immigra-
ton Bureau scheme, in which be at
tempted to mulch the parish out of

Of court, which he went 70 far as to
attempt to circamvent, AND get the
money any ,cay rhe" he acas jsdye him.

He lied when be stated in bis letters
to the New Orleans Republican, that
tho Democrats Of Natcbitoches par
ish were responsible for the enormous
8 per cent taxes, when the facts were
patent to himself, that tie Democratic
party had not been IN power IN the par
isk for sere~ years, in vhich time all
this thieci*g had occurred.
He lied when he said in the letter
referred to, that . mob had driven
him off from the bed side Of his aged
and dying father aud his sick child.
He was like the guilty "who nee when
no man persueth"-lsft here in the
dead hour OF night reek before his
resigsation vas to be demanded, and
no siolescs was intended him, in proof
Of which none was offered the other
Radicals, who are on par with N.Y.
ers !; he deserted like . craven the
bedside of HE sick child-and like
the foul parenticide be abandoned his
aged and dying father to the mercy
of strangers, long before he departed
from Natchitoclles. His father was
fed and cared for by kind citizens
here for . long time before he left,
and his brutal and ungratefal con-
duct to the author Of his being, were
subjects of CONNIE ut by oil our citi-
Gems. Let our journals give ventila-

CASH PLAN ADOPTED.

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepay NJ eat on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
ed. We have therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses Of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage.
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both sub bscribers and publish
or The former will be relieved Of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name aciU be entered untesS the SubScTlp-
ton is paid for IN aduance.
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through themalls
with statement of his account. Many have
responded with remittances discharging their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do SO without
further delay, AS after the first of January, 1875,
we will commence to discontinue the paper tc

within which all in arrears can close up the bal.

Advantages Of Crying.

n French physician is out with long dis
sertatiOn on the advantages of groaning and
crying in general, and especially during op-
eratiOns. He contends that grOaning and
crying are the two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish that those pa
tients who give way to their natural feelings
more speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it unwor-
thy for man to bctray such symptoms of
cOwardicc as either to cry or sroan. lie tells
of y man who reduced his pulse from one
hundred and twenty-siX to sixty in the course
of two hours by giving vent to his emotions.
If people feel at all unhappy about anything,
let them 90 to their room and comfort them
selves with a loud bOO-bOo, and they will feel
= hundred per cent. better afterwards. In
accordance with the above, the crying of
children should not be too frequently dis
cOurage1. If it is Systematically suppressed.
the result may be the ST. Nitu, dance, cpl
lcptic fits, or some other disease Of the nerv-
Gus system. What is natural is nearly always
useful, and nothing can be more natural than
the crying of children when anything occurs
to give them either physical or mental pain.
Probably most persons have experienced the
effects of tears in relieving great sorrow. 1t
is even curious how the feelings are allayed
by free indulgence in groans and sighs. Then
let parents show more indulgence to noisy
bursts of grief on the part of children as wei!
as grown persons. and regard the eyes and
mouth as safety valves through which nature
discharges her surplus steam.

a sad Story

A little boy having heard a beautiful story
about little boy and hatchet, and how,
because the little boy wouldn't tell a lie. he,
in time, got to be President of the United
States, was very much impressed by it, Now
it happened that on the last day of March he
was just ten years old, and is father asked
him what he would like to have for birth

swcr was, "A little hatcllc. if you please,

The father bought him I little Ratchet that
very day, and the boy was delighted that
he actually tool, it to bed with him.
Early the next morning he got up. dressed
himself, took his little halchc, and went out
into the garden. There, as luck would have
it, the first thing that caught his eye was his

Our Food

There is no country where there is so much
dyspepsia rs in America, because our people
pay so little attention to food, and eat too
much meat for the exercise they take If
one has mental labor, fish every second day
is requisite. Soup sets all the CLANS at work
and prepares the stomach for the more i'm
portant functions of digestion, and there
fore should be taken at dinner every day
Beef broth to the old is what milk is to the
young. Cookery properly attended keeps
man in health. If the stomach is GU: of
order the brain is affected. We should eat
more vegetable soup, fruit and fish. Good
and well prepared food benefits the mind
Wrinkles ere produced by want of variety of
food. The man who does not use his brain
to select and prepare his food is not above
the brutes which take it in the raw statc.--
