and majority reports were presented to
the Assembly to-day by the Committee
on Louisiana Affairs. After discussion
lasting nearly the entire session, the lat
ter report was adopted by strict party

the growing tendency of the General

military power in total disregard of all
constitutional guarantees. and especially
condemn the proposition of General
Sheridan and its approval by the Secre-
tary of War, in the name OF the admin
istration, to subject the citizens to trial
by II military commission in time of
peace.

Ho Concluded as Follows:

It had been said that the Republican
ship was sinking, but with the Great
Mariner above at the helm, she would not
be wrecked. He Logan could look
over the broad ocean of commotion to-
day, and see the time would come when
the same craft would ride the tempestu-
GUS waves and anchor herself at the
shores reserved for her; the shores Of
honesty and justice, and there rest undis-
turbed.
At the conclusion of Mr. Logan's
speech there was quite II demonstration
OF applause in the gallery, when Vice
President Wilson announced that the
rules would be enforced and order WAS
restored.

Milk Diet in Heart Disease.

The opinion of DR.. Pecholler, an emf
nent French physician, is now cited in
favor of milk diet in the treatment OF
the disease of the heart. He states that
in active hypetrophy-namely, in those
cases where the consequences of the de-
velopment of the muscular fibers pre-
vail over the embarrassment of the cir
culation caused by the dilitation of the
cavities, the contraction of the orifices
or the insuficiency of the valves, and
where, in consequence, the tension of
the blood is great in the arteries and the
radial pulse is full and hard. In such
cases, at their commencement, the milk
diet, together with the use OF digitalis,
and sometimes without it, will, if con-
tinued long enough, induce at once an
amendment of the symptom, and even,
at last, all absorption Of the super
abundant muscular tissues, and thus
effect cure. 1t is found that under
the influence of this diet the impulses
of the heart diminish, together with the
palpitations, also the congested condi-
ton of the face, brain and lungs. The
patient experiences an unexpected i'm
provement, and, by the adoption of this
plan, life may be prolonged and render
ed more supportable--a great palliation
of the symptoms resulting, even though
there be no cure. ... .r.

A Panic Among Sheep.

An Alameda (Cal.) paper says: We
mentioned the loss of large number of
sheep in the hills back of. Mission San
Jose, belonging to Mr.. Ashurst. The
sheep, it seemH. to the number of about
two thousand five hundred, were quietly
feeding on hill about three miles east
of Mission San Jose, when man who
had been short time working for the
owners suddenly uttered loud yell,
which had the effect of frightening
them. They Immediately began running
down hill as fast as they could. At or
near the bottom of the hill a large patch
of poison oak was growing, and they
rushed pell-mell into it. Here their
legs got SO entangled that they couldnot
move. Meanwhile the others behind
still came rushing down upon them,
until they were piled in layers, six deep,
one upon the other. OF course the
most of them were soon sutfocated and
dead. .-t r...s,..
One of the owners came to the spot
within ten minutes afterward, and with
the aid of Spaniard succeeded in pull
ing out and rescuing about fifty head.
But the number that lost their lives in
this strange way was seven hundred in
all. 1t is supposed that the yell by the
hired man was given for the purpose OF
starting the sheep off to camp.

Treed by n Dog,

The Middletown (Del.) Transcript
tells an amusing story: A young gentle
man, one of the aids of his excellency,
the Governor of Delaware, went to call
upon friend in Kent county, Mary
land. He drove into the yard, alighted
from his carriage, and was in the act of
opening gate when he was espied by a
savage dog, which at once made dash
for him. The colonel, who in a war with
Jersey over the fishery difficulties
would not shrink from the cannon s
mouth, seeingthis dire enemy approach,
thought not of fight, and hastily betook
himself to a gate post, which he climbed
with lightning rapidity. This elevated
perch afforded him temporary relief
from his foe, who immediately settled
into a state of siege. The colonel was
now in bad predicament. His horse,
which he had not hitched, was loose,
and might go away, and he dare not get
down to tie him he might not be dis
covered by the inmates of the house,
and be compelled to lodge on that post
all night. What to do he did not know.
Finally, however, as fortune always
favors the brave, two little girls made
their appearance, called off the dog, and
the colonel was happy, though little
| white.

A Great Tunnel.

The union of Europe and Africa, by
means of q tunnel under the straits of
Gibraltar, is one of the great engineer
ing schemes at present contemplated.
This tunnel, as projected, is to be a right
line, extending between Tarifa and Al
gesiras, on the Spanish coast, to Ceuta
and Tangier on the Morocco shore, the
submarine portion to be A, l60 feet In
length, or nearly nine miles. This vast
enterprise offers, it is said, more Difficult
ties than the, similar work under the
English channel, although the latter
will have more than twice the length.
The maximum depth of the channel at
the point to be traversed is stated to be
only 1863 feet, while that of the straits is
2, ,621 feet. Supposing that the tunnel
under Gibraltar be bored at a distance
of one thousand feet under the bed, its
total depth undsr the sea level would
be over $500 feet, while the entry and
exit galleries would be each three miles
in length. 1a@ 's'l'h "

nls word as Good as his Bond.

The late Samuel Brown, ESD, mer-
chant of Boston, and the owner of
Browns wharf, is still remembered by
our older citizens. When the elder
Quincy was mayor he saw the necessity
of moving the almshouse and the house
of correction to South Boston. Mr..
Brown owned very large vacant estate
where the buildings now stand, and Mr..
Quincy called upon him and stated his
purpose to induce the city government
to remove the institutions to South Bos-.
ton, and asked the price of the estate
referred to. The reply was 100000.
Mr.. Quincy said that would do, and
asked thirty days refusal and bond of
it, in order to endeavor to persuade the
city council to agree to the measure.
Mr.. Brown replied that he should give
no bond, as he said his word was his
bond always. The mayor took his word,
and in twenty-eight days had obtained
the proper authority and again waited
on Mr.. Brown, saying that he had come
to complete the sale of that land. la-
"What land2" said Mr.. Brown.
Why, the South Boston land we
spoke Of" said the mayor. a-ye raf

former. EJri-4 ,12.I- *sn.i4a. 1853

"Well, " said Mr.. Brown, since you
were here 1 have been offered 100000
cash for it, and can you expect me to
sell it for 100000 to the city9"
"I do" replied Mr.. Quincy, be
cause you agreed to-"
Have you any proof of that 2"
+" Yes, 1 am the witness.
3" But you, being an interested party,
can't be witness. Have you any other
proof, and do you ask me to refuse 800,

Mr.. Quincy ?"
Z" None, sir, whatever" replied the
mayor, stretching himself up with great
dignity" none whatever but your
word, and that you said was your bond. "
"And," replied Mr.. Brown, stretch
ing himself up with equal dignity, $50
it is. My word is my bond, and for
$50, 900 the land is yours.

Seeking Safety in Caves.

The Thomaston (Ga) Herald tells
this extraordinary story We had call
from Mr.. Harris, of Talbot county. We
had heard that the people along the line
of the late tornadoes in Talbot and Har-
ris counties were all the time much
alarmed, and had dug holes or caves IN
the ground to get in when storm
threatened them. Not knowing whether
the report was correct, we inquired of
him as to its truthfulness. He assured
us that most every family had dug into
the ground large hole, from five to ten
feet square, owing to the size of the
family. After taking out the dirt, they
take off a foot or two of the surface dirt
all around the top, cut down large trees,
square them and place the logs side by
sale until the cave is entirely and Sc
curely covered with these thick logs
After laying the logs over they cover them
with sound inch plank and cover the plank
with dirt. When cloud or rain comes
up and the elements look threatening,
all quit their fields, houses, and voca-
tions, and seek safety in their dark
caverns of earth.

Lost Her Hair.

A young lady of Hartford who was
stopping at a hotel at Stafford Springs,
awoke one morning and found her haT
living on the floor, and near by, pair
scissors. She was very much frightened
and she rushed out into the hall scream
ing. Her friends gathered around her,
and on calmness being restored and rea-
son set to work, it was thought she must
have got up in the night in her sleep
and committed the offense herself.
She had long black hair, which was the
admiration of her friends.
