The most deadly acute disease from
which the people of the United States
are to day suffering is pneumonia.
There are not less than 2.00O cases at
this hour in the city of New York alone.
Many are nearly down with it who do
not suspect it, and these can bring it on
by q single act of indiscretiOn. Ten
minutes on street corner in the cold
wind; glass of brandy or whisky !;
late hours and exposure at night; an
evening in badly ventilated church or
theatre; any of these may permit the
latent disease to manifest itself.
The disease attacks the lungs. but is
not, as generally supposed, a species Of
hasty consumption. There is very little
expectOratiOn in pneumonia, and in
many cases none at all. The cold set
ties on the lungs, the air passages fill
up with mucus, and death is due to the
impOssibility of breathing, or to the
weakness which the disease brings on,
as cautious dieting is necessary. When
the trouble in the lungs is overcome,
the patient is often left in so low a con-
ditiOn that it is impossible to make him
rally. Ii is q rather singular phase of
this deadly disease that the percentage
of cases is as four to one in favor of
men. Women very seldom suffer from
it. This may be due to the greater
exposure to which men are subjected,
and to the more sedentary life of women,
who do not suffer from such constant
changes and such shocks to the lungs
The best preventive against pneumonia
is to keep the mouth closed when going
from hot place to cold, and breathe
through the nose. IL comes like flash
of lightning; there is no preparation OF
means of averting 1t. One may go to
bed healthy. to all appearances. and
wake up with the disease IN full blast
Then it is simply a question of consti-
tuition. Medical skill avails but little,
and physicians pursue but one course
to keep the patient in a warm, equal
temperature to give remedies as much
as possible to clear the lungs, and to
seek to keep up the proper animal heat.

Look! o look, papa! the suns

swered papa; "and you can be like the

.NeSsrS. Editors:
Away off in this quiet corner Of
The great PashawIic Of Louisiana,
what we do without newspapers I?
True, we are blessed with rather
meagre mail facilities, vet all the more
eagerly do we welcome the arrival of
news from other quarters. We have
just been enjoying our weekly
budget"-column after column of
politics, sentiment, fun, and fancy
really our brain is so crowded with
the heterogeneous mass, we find it
difficult to- sift out the illusory from
the real, or even to bring our own
chaotic Thoughts into anything like

we impressed with our own diminu-
treness, by the side of the local
writer's of the age, we are tempted
to lay down our pen in despair How
can we dare enutnerate in our rustic
style th, common details of common
country life for the amusement of
public demanding ever something
new? Earth, ocean, air, are daily
searched for the novel, the startling;

heroes. But while being RECALLED with
all these superb feats OF fancy, do you
wonder that the honest thinker

The Travis boys (Clnton and
Ciarcnce) aud their mother came in
on the train. last Thursday, rom their
home in ltichland parish. They are
the guests OF Judge Jacob G. Sea.e.
We are told that the boys We're given
so many hours by the roushS of that
parish in hich tn leave, aad they
left, hui it is their rtention 20 return
to their plantation in that parish in Il
few days-NadiSGH J0UTaai.
The respect aud esteem we have
for many Of the relatives Of these ur-
fortunate young men have heretofore
caused us TO refrain from IA discussion
Of this painful subject, anG it is our
desire still to avoid doing or saying
ANYTHING to wound The feelings Of
those friends but this unjus; and
slandcrous attack Gu our parish COM
pels US to reply, however painful the
duty may be. How the editor of the
Journal can read the list of names
signed to the resolutions passed by
the citizens of Drini and vicihilv, and
published in the BEACON last Satur-
dav, and then call the gentlemen
whose names are there "roughs". is
uuaccountable to us, knowing as we
do that r'any of them are known to It's
editor as honorable, higb-toned, law
abiding citizens, whose characters are
above repIoach, and who have never
committed an act in their lives, that
we have ever heard of, to justify the
applying to them Of such an insulting
epithct. We would to God that all
North Louisiana was populated by
Just such 'roughsn as those who 10; k

r, solutions. If il were then we would
have no need of such resolutions, and
every mans life ahd property would
be as safe as if he were surrounded
by walls Of aGamant, insurmountable
aud impene,rab!e
The citizens who did this thing saw
they were not influenced by personal
fear of the Travis boys, but by a
desire to assure the laboring class
Cor colored pe"ple) of their intention
10 protect their lives, although jury
of their own color haG refused TO
guarantee them that protection. The
parishes of Ricbland and Franklin
have long been accused of alrordiug
no protection TO negroes and. now
that portion, at least, Of this parish
have determined to vindica,e the

As we state in another place, we
have been unwillingly drawn into the
discussion of very painful subject
this week, in vindication of our parish,
which was nnjustly assaulted by the
Madison Journal. which appears to
have gathered its information from
mere one-sided rumor. We hope it
will have the manliness and courage
to correct what errors it may bave
committed, point out such as we have
made-if any-that we may do the
same, and not fueaher force upon us
the disagreeable necessity Of perhaps
unintentionally wenIipg the feelings
of some for who d have more than
a natural frieqdS6sp; whom we love
even as Jonathan loved David. There
are those connected with those I'M
fortunate young men by ties of con-
sanguinity, who cannot see their case
as others see it, who do not and
should not forfeit our love and esteem
for such display of affection under
trying circumstances, whom we would
not willingly offend, or whose feelings
we would not wound, for any consid-
Grafton aud further discussion might
force Us to make statements that might
have such result, without accom-
piishiug any good TO anybody, and
thus estrange to us those for whom
we would gladly always have the
deepest sympathy aud warmest at
tacbment of friendship and brothcrly
love. We want peace and order, and
we believe that is all any good citizen
wants; but many of them are de-
termined to bequeath that to the CON-
munity even i: they have to sacrifice
themselves to secure it.

MISCELLANY.
HErrY mAHvr0.


When the Tories attacked New London,
Connecticut, and set price on the head of
Governor Griswold, the latter fed to the town
of -, where his cousin, Mrs. Marvin,
hid him for some days in q secluded farm
houss. Dit at b'ngth the subtle f. ills
covered his retreat, and one sunny afternoon
in May he was routed from his hiding place
by the tidings that band Of horsemen were
approaching to capture him.
His only chance of escape was to reach the
mouth of little creek which empted itself in
to the Connecticut river, just above the en-
trance of the latter into Long Island sound.
There he had a boat stationed, with two faith
full attendants hidden beneath the high banks
of the creek. The distance from the farm
house to the boat was two miles by the
usually travelled road. But a little path a.
cross the farmers orchards would bring him
to the road, only mile from the boat, and
save quarters length of bis fearful run for
life.
Just where the narrow path from the
orchard opened into the road, Hetty Marvin
sat with her dog Towser, tending the bleach
ing Of the household linen. The long web Of
forty yards or more, which was diligently spun
and woven during the long winter months
was whitened in May, and thus made ready
for Use: The business Of bleaching was well
economical, being usually done by the
younger daughters of the family, who were
not old enough to spin, or strong enough for
IL - Iasp
The roll of linen was taken by the farmer
or his stout "help" to a grassy plat, besides
spring or meadow brook. There 1t was
thoroughly wetted and spread upon the green
turf, to take the best heat of the sun by day
and the dew by night The little maiden
who tended it would sit near It.
Thus sat Hetty Marvin, the young daughter
,of Governor Griswold's cousin, when her
hunted friend sprang past her into the road
to escape from his pursuers. Hetty was a
timid child of about twelve years yet
thoughtful and wise beyond any Of her elders.
She was frightened by the headlong haste
| with which the Governor rushed across the
meadow. But she quickly comprehended the
scene, and instantly quieted her faithful
Towsef, who, though friend of the family
| guest, thought it becoming to bark loudly al
his hurried steps.
Her wise forethought arrested the Cover.
nor's notice, and suggested scheme to de.
lude his pursuers. "Hetty,'' he said earnestly,

reach my boat before am overtaken, / am a

FooD ron LEAN WOMEN. IF any one wishes
to grow feshy, pint of milk taken before re~
firing at night will cover the scrawnicst bones.
Although nowadays we see great many
aesl,y females, yet there are many lean and
lank ones who sigh for the fashionable meas
ures of plumpness and who would be vastly
improved in health and appearance could
their figure be rounded with good solid flesh.
Nothing is'more coveted by thin women than
a full figure, and nothing else win so rouse
the ire and provoke the scandal of onc of the
clipper-buide as the consciousness of
plumpness in rival. In cases Of fever and
Summer complaints milk is now given with
excellent results. The idea that milk is
feverisll has exploded and it is now the
physicians great reliance In bringing through
typhoid patients or those in too low state to
be nourished by solid food.
1t is a great mistake to scrimp the milk
pitcher. Take more milk and buy less meat.
Look to yonr milkmen, have large-sized,
well filled milk pitchers on the table each neal
and you will also have sound flesh and light

WHAT A CREOLE Is.-.-A correspondents
writes to the Chicago IutefaOcean:
Before came to New Orleans had an
idea that Creole was q half-breed Of some
race-Cuban, or French, or Spanish, didn't
know which--and think many Of the North
ern people have the same notion, and would
be grateful to me II would correct them be-
fore they come down here and show their ig.
norance as did. A Creole is native of
Louisiana, as a native of Indiana is Hoosier,
and a native of Ohio Buckeye. They don't
have dark, pensive eyes and romantic hair,
and they don't sit on yerandas with their fists
against their cheeks, and a shapely arm, bare
to the elbow, resting ON the balustrade, and
they don't look of into the garden Of orange
trees, and bananas, and dropping palms, with
alligators crawling over the walks. It's a.
Misrepresentation, this idea but was very
sorry to have my romance shattered when /
found it OUT"
