The Revolution in Louisiana.

There was desperate fighting in New
Orleans on the 14th between armed
bodies of citizens and the Metropolitan
forces. Several persons on both sides
were killed or wounded. The following
is a summary of the account of the
affair, as given by the Associated Press
dispatches of that date:
A mass meeting of citizens was held
in the forenoon, in response to call
signed by fifty business men and firms of
the city. In this call it was declared
that for nearly two years the people had
been silent but indignant sufferers OF
outrage after outrage heaped upon them
by an usurping governments; that at last
even the right of the people to keep and
bear arms had been infringed, in viola.
| ton of the Federal Constitution; that
the citizens were therefore called upon
to close their places of business and as
semble together, and, Gin tones loud
enough to be heard throughout the
! length and breadth of the land, declare
that you are of right, ought to be, and
mean to be free"

a. m, and series of preambles and res

acts, in the face of the report of a com

cured the writers or their friends of Fever and

make known the wonderful virtues Of the Dis
cOvery in the cure of Ague and kindred dis
eases. He always replied that it was not in
tended for " cure ALL and should he recon-
mend tito people as a remedy for so many dif-
ferent forms and classes of disease he feared
those who had never tested its virtues would
at once class it among the numerous hum
bugs OF the day. This answer was satisfac
tory TO no one; they argued that the whole
country ought to know it at once, and ey-
pressed their establishment at his indifference
to the subject. His ear and heart being at an

was the one elected and chosen by the

Corrosive sublimate, it is said, has
the most remarkable effect on ants.
The powder, strewed in dry weather
across their path, seems to drive crazy
every ant which touches it. The insect
runs wildly about and fiercely attacks
its fellows. The news soon travels to
the rest, and the fighting members Of
the community. huge fellows some
three-quarters of an inch in length,
make their appearance with a determ-
ined air, as if the obstacle would be
speedily overcome by their efforts. As
soon, however, as they have touched

often fell down from. sheer weakness.
The three men were constantly drunk.
One Of them, who claimed the control
of her, told various stories concerning
her. One was that she was captured
by the Indians when four months old,
and he had reeaptured her.
Another is that her mother had died
when she was eight months old, and
had given the child to him up in
Montana. Still another is that she is
his own child. To Father Bourbon he
stated that one day he was going past
house in Minnesota where he saw q
woman beat the child fearfully, and he
ran to the child, seized her and took
her away. Father Bourbon gave Rim

Hints About Milking.

Always manage to have the COW eat
ing when she is being MIXED, and when
thus occupied she let's down her milk
freer, and is less liable to kick or move
about than when she can give her whole
attention to the mixer. 1t is best to
milk diagonal teats at the same time,
but always take hold of the off teat
first, for if the COW is going to kick at
all she will kick first from the side you
commence to milk. In milking diago-
nal teats the left hand milks q third
teat, and thus the left arm is fender in
case she kicks or steps about. The
best stool is made by mailing foot
square piece of pine board ON piece of
3x4 one foot high, and the knees the
most convenient bucket holder. Get
close under the COW; work the bucket
well under the udder, and the milk will
not be near so apt to be spilled as when
you put the bucket on the floor and sit
off as far as possible. Milk quickly,
steadily. gently, and never leave COW
until you have her last drop. Above
all things, never yell at her or beat her.
Kindness is a cows most effective
master.
