The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1875-07-31

Day before yesterday handbills
were circulated about town announc-
ing that 8" A Grand Gift Show" would
be given in Donaldsonville that even
ing 10y prof. Reynolds and his ac-
complished daughters, Misses Alice
and Carrie Reynolds" The party
arrived the same day from down the
Bayou, travelling in a covered flat
boat. They have given a number of
exhibitions at Thibodaux, Lockport,
Napoleonville and other points on the
Bayou during the past three weeks,
and the Thibodaux Sentinel of last
Saturday speaks of their entertain
ments in very complimentary terms.
Prof. Reynolds cndeavored to procure
the use of the d. S. c. b. Hall for his
exhibitions here, but did not feel JUS
tilted in paying the price demanded,
so he pitched his little tent upon the
public square. Thursday aud Friday
evenings entertainments were given,
and those who were present speak of
them in the highest terms. The per
formances consist of astonishing feats
of legerdemain, character songs, COM
edies, etc, by the Professor and his
daughters, and there is nothing which
could offend the most fastidious taste.
Another exhibition will be given to-
morrow evening and Prof. Reynolds
hopes to have IL number of ladies and
children among the visitors to his
chaste and pleasing entertainment.
Mr.. jeremiah Supple of Bayou
Goula called upon us this week and
handed lis the appended statement,
requesting its publication in the CHIEF.
In justice to Mr.. Supple and all con
cerned we cheerfully comply, and re-
get that an incorrect version of the
difficulty referred to below should
have appeared in our columns. Our
report Of the affair, as stated therein,
was written upon information re-
ccived, but we deem it due to our
informant t., say that he merely re-
peated to us what was circulating as
public rumor in the neighborhood
where he resides. Following is the
statement:
[CoPT.
Our attention has been called to an article
| in the DoNALDsONvILLE CHIEF. published i'll
the issue of that paper of July 18th, 1873,
headed 'Almost Duel" in which, after a
reference to u recent difficulty between DR..
Armstrong and Mr.. j. Supple, the following
language is used: '.Through the efforts of
the seconds, however, the difficulty was am
icably arranged, Mr. Supple agreeing to pub
lish card in the Iberville Republican re-
tracing the language which led to the
challenge"
We deem it our duty, as the friends of
the gentlemen named, to whose lot it fell to
adjust the difficulty between them, to say
that there is no word of truth in the state
ment above quoted. Mr.. Supple did not
agree to publish Il card in the Ibervillc Re
publican rctraeting the language which led
to the challenge. No such card, in point of
fact, has been published; nor was the diff
ticulty settled upon the basis Of a rctraction
or apology, on either side, of any nature
whatsoever.

him.
Mr.. Solomon Weinschenck having
obtained a Judgment for $500 against
the town of DouaidsonviIle, and there
being no money in the treasury to
satisfy the same, counsel for plaintiff
have garnisheed sufficient amount
due or to become due to the town by
the lessees of the Wharf and Market
House, to meet their clients claim.
This will upset the financial scheme
of the Council for time, as there
will not be realized sufficient revenue
to meet the monthly salaries of the
town officers, much less surplus
with which to purchase outstanding
obligations.
Tomorrow evening, in the main
hall of St. Joseph's Academy, will
occur the annual exhibition by the
pupils Of that institution, under the
direction Of Rev. Father Cuppens and
Prof. Jones. Premiums will be award
ed to deserving scholars during the
evening. An admission fee of 25
cents will be charged, and as the pro-
ceeds will be sent to France for the
relief of sufferers by the recent disas-
trous overflow in that country, all
who attend will have the double
pleasure Of witnessing an interesting
exhibition and contributing something
in a humane and praiseworthy cause.
We clip the following handsome
notice of a Donaldsonville organiza-
ton from the Natchitoches Repubi-
can of the Oath inst, and in behalf of
the Cannonecrs we bow acknowledge
ments to our Rcd River friends:
The DOnaldsOnvllic CHIEF mentions the
fact that the Cannoneers of that place have
reorganized. Previous to the war. this was
one IF the most efficient and best drilled Ar
tillery Companies in the State. We have
some very pleasant rccollcctions of their at
tendance at the first State Fair held in Baton
Rouge. when they competed with the Peli-
can Rifles Of that city. for prizes offered for
the best drilled infantry company. The
Cann"neers won the first prize fairly and
squarely, and both companies served in the
Southern army We wish them every sue
cess in their organization, and that the
thunder of their guns may join the grand
chorus which will awaken the land on July
4th 1876.

DIR. Robert Hunter.

No living physician has done more than
DR.. Robert Hunter, formerly OF New York, TO
bring all diseases of the lungs and air pas
sages within the category of durable maladies.
No one has done so much to enlighten the
public as to the real cause and cure of those
diseases. In his Monthly JournaH'-in sew
eral Treatises-and through series OF letters
published in many Of the leading papers, DIR.
Hunter has, during the last twenty five years,
thrown a flood of light on the nature and
proper treatment of Catarrh, Consumption,
Bronchitis, Asthma, etc, and forced
upon the profession tacit abandon
ment of the old and ever-failing routine
practice of dosing the stomach TO reach
the lungs. DR.. Hunter first introduced the
treatment by inhalation-Or inhaling proper
remedies into the lungs-as scientific method
of practice quarter Of a century since, and
has had an extent of experience and success
uneQualed by any other in his speciality In
every quarter of the country can be found
those who viii attest to his success in treat
ing those diseases previously considered as
incurable.
DR.. Hunter has now opened a permanent
office in Chicago, and may be consulted per-
sonally or by letter. His Office and address
is Lakeside Building, corner of Adams and
Clark streets, Chicago, Ill.

NEVER boil coffee. The reason is that
not only the better part of it (the exhila-
rating escapes, but that the extractive
properties, which, if largely used, are
unhealthy, are alone present. Bring up
to the boiling point, but do not boil.
You thus get sufficient Of the eXtractive

Ants Enemies to CaterpiIiars.

THE Belgian Official Journal, referring
to the ignorant conduct Of those who de-
stroy all kinds of birds and insects indis-
criminately, insists on the necessity OF
children in primary schools being taught
to distinguish between useful and nox-
destructive faculties against the latter
only. The writer proceeds to say that
the ant, which is very disagreeable and
inconvenient in many respects, does ex-
cellent service in chasing and destroying
caterpillars with relentless energy. A
farmer who had noticed this fact and
had had his cabbages literally devoured
by caterpillars at last hit upon the
expedient of having an ant hill, or
rather nest, such as abound in pine for
ests, brought to his cabbage plat. A
sackful of the pine points Astounding in
ants was obtained, and its contents
strewn around the infested cabbage
plants. The ants lost no time, but i'm
med1ately set to work; they seized the
caterpillars by their heads. The next
day heaps of dead caterpillars were
found, but not one alive, nor did they
return to the cabbages. The value of
the ant is well known in Germany, and,
although their eggs are in great request
as food for young cartridges, pheasants
and nightingales, there is a fine against
taking them from the forests. The ant
is interchangeable in hunting its prey; it
climbs to the very tops Of trees, and de-
stroys an immense quantity of noXious
insects.

a Wrong Custom Corrected.

It is quite generally the custom TO take
strong liver stimulants for the cure Of liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegeta-
bic kingdoms have been diligently searched
to procure the most drastic and poisonous
purgatives in order to produce a powerful eff
feet upon the liver and arouse the tagging
and enfeebed organ. This system of treat
ment is on the same principle as that of Civ
ing weak and debilitated man large por-
tions of brandy to enable him to do certain
amount of work. When the stimulant is
withheld the organ, like the system, gradual
ly relapses into a more torpid or sluggish and
weakened condition than before. What then
is wanted? Medicines which, while they
cause the bile to flow freely from the liver, as
that organ is toned into action, will not over
work and thus debilitate it, but will, when
their use is discontinued, leave the liver
strengthened ard healthy. Such remedies
are found in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

boen Quxotic and irregular in the extreme, opening

ties who in many cases were the heaviest buyers at
the highest prices of the later rally. Lake Shore
