.-,o yoval home day OF the flying year,
Iwbste'er may be the weather;
u-hsn scattered households, with gladstone
cheer,
Are ali once more together:
ussn hearts, forgetting care, are full OF joy
a. summer lands of glories,
.nd in their overflow give time employ
with olden songs and stories.
rv,s. Golden visions of the day OF yore
send thrills through all their beingi
rss circle as it never viii be more,
The sights that charmed the SEEING
parents are in their prime again in days
with gladness running over,
And children, little, happy at their plays,
As lambs In fields OF clover.
And grandsires, grandmas, long since gone
TO rest,
Their lips deaths white lips pressing,
yade rapture for young hearts, so sweet, so
blest,
with words and deeds of blessing.
Sunshine comes streaming up from olden
days
To sweeten loves communion,
To cheer them when they go their chosen
WAYS,
After this glad reunion.
Around the table older hands have spread
They take their wonted places,
On ample dainties feast, when grace is said,
With thanks on all their faces
or, II perchance they see an empty chair,
though not a word be spoken,
Their hearts turn heavenward, and they pray
that there
The circle be not brokeni
And then together as OF old they kneel
Around the freside altar,
Give thanks for mercies, pray, come wo or
veal,
In faith they may not falter;
But, evermore, as comes ard goes such day,
Through love and holy living,
They all may press with growing JOY their
way
To God and Heavens Thanksgiving.

chair of the only speaker of the House of
Louisiana is
SURROUNDED By UNITED STATES TROOPS.
The officers of the house are prisoners in
their hands. So / solemnly swear that Lou
isiana has ceased to be a sovereign state, that
it has no longer a republican government,
and call on the representatives of the state
to retire with me before this show OF arms
The democratic representatives, headed
by Speaker Wilt, then marched out
of the hall and the state house,
both of which were closed as soon
as the last democratic representative went
out. They went to No. II st. Louis street,
followed by a large crowd, who cheered
them on their way. Speaker Wilt was
loudly called out. He addressed the crowd
in the following words: 1--WE have attempted
and succeeded in organizing the House of
Representatives. am elected speaker, and
after a permanent organization, notwith-
standing the interference of the police, we
have kept up our proceedings until
a few minutes ago; until the
United States troops forcibly expelled about
eight or ten of cur duly seated members.
We then retired and lett, and come TO our
people to tell them what has been DONE"
Other speakers, Mari, Ellis, and ETC., fol-
lowed, counseling order, and asked the
crowd to retire. Speaker Wilt called the
members together, and adjourned them un-
til half past z o'clock, to allow the members
some rest and refreshment.

THE HOUSE ELECTS ANOTHER SPEAKER
AND ADMITS REPUBLICAN MEMBERSHIPS
POSITION OF TRooPs-THE CITY QUIET.
After the conservatives withdrew Vigers
proceeded to call the roll, when itty-three
members answered to their names. Fifty
four were necessary tor a quorum, and
Vigers declared that there were fifty-four
present. Ex-Gov. Michael Hahn was
elected speaker Mr.. Lowell took
the floor and protested against the presence
OF United States troops in the hall of the
House, and moved that they be required to
leave. They left. On motion, two repub-
lican members from the contested parish of
DeSoto and one from Grant parish were adj
mitted. The governors message was
received, read and referred. After
further action the House ad-
journed till noon tomorrow. The Senate
was called to order by Lieut. Gov. Antoine,
Is holding over members being present. The
newly elected republican members were
seated. Nothing of interest transpired.
The democratic members were not present.
United States troops are on duty about ], 800
strong, including infantry artillery and cav
airy under the immediate command
of Gen. De Trobriand. At midnight
they had all gone to their quar-
tiers, except one or two companies
of infantry, now occupying the state house.
The congressional committee are still in
session examining witnesses as to
the organization of the legislature
to-day. Mayor Wilt and others tes-
tilted. Their testimony does not differ
materially from the account given
in the Associated Press dispatches
tonight. Several military orders
have been issued to-day, one sending troops
to VicksbuTg. The conservative caucus
tonight resolved to organize the legis-
lature tomorrow. The place of meeting
is not yet decided upon. No personal vi
olence was used to-day, the citizens every
where remaining very quiet in the streets,
except an occasional outburst of applause
about the state house when favorable news
to the conservatives was brought outs

pay well for winter or spring feed, and beets
are the best roots; forty tors may be raised to
the acre. Not much cotton seed meal is fed
to cows in New York. Rye meal is better
than corn meal at the same price, and barley
meal is worth almost as much. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to give cows salt; without it
milk shrinks in quantity and quality. Keep
it within reach of your cows. Saltpetre is
good and should be mixed with salt for con-
slant use, at the rate of one ounce to one
pound. Sulphur produces good effects in the
spring. Garget can sometimes be cured in
the early stages. 1t arises from congestion
of the blood in the udder, from any cause.
Apply laXatives; warm water is better than
cold. Give food like clover etc., rather than
meal-saltpetre is good, sulphur of no value.
If you use coarse fodder, wet it, and give
ground feed with it. Meal when fed alone,
goes at once to the fourth stomach, and does
not come back to be masticated; much of its
value therefore, is lost, as it is only partially
digested. When wet and mixed with hay or
straw, it goes into the first stomach, and re-
turns to be chewed, and is properly digested,
and is one-fourth more than in the former
case. Beside this, cow can be fed
with safety more meal with cut feed, than
dry and alone, as there is less danger of scour-
ing Sour food digests easier than sweet and
causes larger secretion of milk, but the
quality is not so good.
