What the Trouble Was.

At camp meeting not long ago, man
clad in thin linen suit, seated himself on
one of the rickety benches beside a fat
man who occupied full one-third Of the
concern. When the services were ended
the fat man arose, and the gentleman in
thin linen suddenly began twisting about
in surprising manner, while his counte-
nance was significant of mortal anguish.
His actions attracted the attention of some
of the brethren and one of them, solemn
visaged individual, who looked as though
he had just swallowed pill, approached
the writhing body, and laid is-hand on
the mans shoulder and said "Brother, if
you are resisting the promptings of the
Evil One, strive manfully, and you will
triumph at last. Remember Jacob wrest-
led with the angel, and 81 dunno but
he did," interrupted the agonized man,
"but if Jacob had the seat of his trowsers
and a little of his meat caught in con-
demned crack, he wouldn't feel like rast-

NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL !
THOMPSON'S
Fever and Ague Powders !
FOR THE
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLS AND FE.
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER
The Greatest Discovery of the Age


UNHERE are no diseases so debilitating in
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 we'll as prove 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.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's 3
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED;
Their Reputation Is Established. - 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.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders
stamped on the lid, and the signature OF
"Thompson 81 Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

NEGROE TROUBLES.
Proclamation by Governor
Kellogg.
Governor

New Orleans, Sept 3. Gov. Kellogg has
issued proclamation placing a reward of
$4,000 head on all the persons implicated in
the Coushatta affair, and accompanying his
proclamation by the following statement:-
To the public Having felt it my duty to
issue my proclamation offering a large reward
for the apprehension ard conviction of the
murderers in the Coushatta outrage, and to the
end that the law abiding citizens of the State
may fully comprehend the magnitude of the
crime committed, and be induced to render
more active assistance to the officers of the
law, deem it proper to make the following
statement:-
These facts are gathered from reliable in
formation received at the Executive Depart
ment on or about the 2Sth day of August,
1874.
A body of persons belonging to a semi mil
itary organization known as the White League
of Louisiana, assembled in the town of Cous-
hatta, Parish of Red River in this State for
the purpose Of compelling by force of arms
the State officers of that parish to resign thsir
positions. The officers we're men of good
character, most Of them being largely inter-
ested in planting and mercantile pursuits.
They held their position with the full consent
of an admittedly large majority OF legal vo-
tiers of the parish, this being heavily repub
lican parish. The only known objection to
them was that they were of republican prin-
cples. Frank Edgerton, duly qualified as
sheriff Of the parish, in strict compliance with
the law of the State and of the U. S., sum
moned posse of citizens, white and colored,
to assist him in protecting the parish affairs.
His posse, consisting Of 65 men, were over
powered BY superior force, and finally after
several colored and white men had been killed
surrendered themselves prisoners, with the
explicit guarantee that their lives should be
spared if the more prominent republicans
would agree to leave the parish, and those
holding Office would resign. These stipula-
tons, though unlawfully extracted, were COM
piled with. Part of the republicans were
theu locked up in jail
