Sin is often the result of physical ill.health
and feeble stomachs. During one-third of
our time the process of digestion continues.
To be dyspcptic is to be miserable; dyspepsia
is the foundation OF fevers and all the diseas-
es of the blood liver, skin and kidneys. Dys-
pepsia yields to the virtues of the vegetable
ingredients in that great purifier of the blood
and restorer of health, DR.. Walkers Vinegar

The New Orleans Usurpation.

Ine new OfIe0no U80fQota00s
despatch from New Orleans IA. the Bos.
ton Globe, dated the 18Th, says:
Colonel Penn took charge Of the State
House at 2 o'clock, this afternoon, being es-
corted thither by about 5000 armed White
Leaguers, and more than that number Of uu-
armed citizens. James Graham il ia posses.
sion of the auditors Office; Ogden, Of the
Attorney Generals, and Luther, Of the Office
of superintendent of education. Tom Boy
Ian, the bank detective, was appointed chief
of police. Armed Leaguers will act ~ pa
trolemen. The Mayor will send associate po-
licemen.
Some officers, by agreeing to recognize the
new order of things, have been permitted to
remain in power. The Council met to-day
adopted the resolutions necessary to effect
this object.
The League is now in possession of every
public building in the State.
The number of casualties will amount to
fully 80 killed and 100 wounded. on both
sides. General Badger was wounded in the
body and arm, and sustained q compound
fracture of the leg. He will, however, save
his life and both his limbs under careful med
ical treatment.
The White League papers compliment
Badger, Lawler and Gray highly for their
gallantry, though General Longstreet 10 Sc
verely criticized on all sides for throwing 800
policemen in a street fight against full 5000
armed citizens. Lawler was formerly cap
tain in the Ninth Connecticut Regiment. He
was the last to surrender his station, which
he held for several hours with a severe wound
in his body.
Among the killed policemen was j. II. S.
Camp, formerly of Captain Scott's ''nine
hundred" of the Mexican war veteran. Gen.
Bsldeye, Vice. President of the Police Board,
received a flesh would in the arm during the
fight. When Badger fell Baldeye took COM
mand and remained on duty during the night.
The general belief is that. before the i've
days named in the Presidents proclamation
shall expire, the McEnery government will
be installed in power all over the State.
Prominent citizens Of Louisiana now say
that this is the programme, and that no atten-
ton will be paid to the proclamation.
President Grant stated to-day. that he was
bound to sustain the Kellogg Government,
that having been sustained by the courts and
endorsed by Congress. He will probably be
compelled to reinstate Kellogg at the point of
the bayonet, for it it is hardly thought that
Penn and his friends will retire peaceably.
The great trouble appears to be the scarcity
of troops. Col. Emery, commanding at New
Orleans, informed Gen. Mcdowell that the
moral effect Of the presence of the troops is
lost, and he will require much larger force
than he has to reinstate and sustain Kellogg,
should the insurgents fail to comply with the
terms of the Presidents proclamation. All
the cavalry and a large part of the infantry
are in the West looking after Indians. The
artillery is mostly in the forts. Telesraphic
order have been sent to the commandants of
the Notifications, to make musters Of their
men fit for duty, and forward them At once to
the War Department They are also instruct
ed to hold their men in readiness for trans
portation.

The kernel is hard and we'll developed, en-

delight the eyes of the old-time farmer, and
that so cheered his heart. The season has

Our readers undoubtedly read with interest
the account of the great stallion race on
Tuesday, on Mystic Park, Boston. 1t was
the great trotting event of the season, the
purse being for $4,000. The race was won
with ease by "Smuggler," owned by Col.
Russell best time 20, being the fastest time
ever trotted by stallion. "Smuggler" is
representation of the "Cadmus" blood, and
cost Col Russell a very large sum. The
stallion "Cadmus," owned by Messrs. Means
& Butler of this city, is descendant from
the same horse as Smuggler, and is getting
some very fine stock, having colt that has
never been trained, that can show l.2 mile
in ;l5 without any preparation.
The workshops in the Kennebec county
Jail in this city are ready for whatever indus
try may be found available for the prisoners.
There are three large, well lighted and airy
rooms, we'll adapted to the purposes for which
they are intended, and we should judge very
convenient for workshops. The Commission
ers wisely decide that it is not for the inter-
est of the county to employ the prisoners di.
rectly, but the Commissioners will advertise
to sell the labor of the convicts to outside
parties, on contract. There are various kinds
of industry upon which these prisoners may
profitably be employed; but if their labor is
entirely unremunerative it would still be for
the interest of county and the convicts that
employment be given these men.

was murdered, is completely honey-combed,
every spot of plastering on which the minu-
test speck of blood could be traced having
been cut out and carried off, The woodwork
around the window through which Mrs.
Houtvent escaped with her little dog to seek
refuge among the snow covered rocks, has
been removed, and not a trace of either the
original sill, window sash, or the surrounding
lathing remains. Even pieces of tho foor,
on which were blood marks, having been cut
