The Louisiana legislature has passed
resolution instructing the Louisiana repre-
sentatives iii congress to use all their infiu-
e1ice to have substituted the New Orleans
Pacific railroad as the proper road to receive
national aid as a connecting link with the
Texas Pacific, instead Of the New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railroad, as
named in Senator Vests bill, better known
as the Backbone road. The resolution also
provides for forfeiture of the charter of
the ew Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicks-
burg road.
Unusually rich discoveries in the San
Juan district of Colorado have developed a
widespread interest in that quarter. Late
assays conclusively show the presence in
large lodes of gold-bearing ores of extraOr-
binary richness. The extension of the Denver
and Rio Grade railroad viii include Cucharas
on the 25th. Track-laying is favored by ex-
cellent weather, and progresses at the rate of
two and half miles per day. This road will
probably reach the east boundary of the San
Juan gold region early in spring, and thus
bring that important section to easy access.

ga Drop OF Joy IN E,ery word..

FLEMINGT0N, HUNrERD0N COUNTY, IN. j.,
June z6 lS74.-Dr. R.V. PIERCE, Buffalo, NY:
Dear Sir-It Is with happy heart that pen
these lines to acknowledge that you and your
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pei
lets are blessings to the world These medi-
clnes can not be too highly praised, for they
have almost brought me out Of the grave.
Three months ago was broken out with large
ulcers and sores on my body, limbs and face.
procured your Golden Medical Discovery and
Purgative Pellets, and have taken SIX bottles,
and to-day am In good health, all those ugly
ulcers having healed and left my skin In a
natural, healthy condition. I thought at one
time could not be cured. Although / can but
poorly express my gratitude to you, yet there
is drop OF joy In every word write. Gods
blessing rest on you and your wonderful med1-
cines Is the humble prayer Of
Yours truly, JAMES o. BELLS.
When medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood of the
virulent poison causing them who can longer
doubt its wonderful virtues2 Dr. Pierce, how
ever, does not wish to place his Golden Medi-
cal Discovery in the catalogue Of quack patent
nostrums by recommending it tO cure every
disease, nor do s he so recommend it; but
what he does claim is this, that there Is but
one form Of BLOOD disease that it will not cure,
and that disease Is cancer. He does not recon-
mend his Discovery for that disease, yet he
knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free
the blood and system Of all other known blood
polsOns, be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery is WARRANTED by him
to cure the worst 1orms of Skin Diseases, as all
forms of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions,
also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst
Neck, Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous
Diseases Of the Bones. as White Swellings,
Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all
Of which belong to Scrofulous Diseases.

The Prodigal Son.

Dubufe's wonderful work of art, "The
Prodigal son." is now on view at Melo-
deon Hall, and thousands of our citizens
will avail themselves Of the opportunity
OF seeing it. Itis work too grand for
description in an ordinary notice. Never
before did the parable seem to have such
force, such significance, such genuine
eloquence and power. The picture tells
the whole story, and tells it as 1t only
could be told by the cleverest and most
thorough student gifted with the ability
Of most yividly portraying on canvas his
own conception of it's force and grand
eur. The New York Tribune says:
sit belongs to that great school OF dra-
matte compositions OF which the most
famous exemplars among the old mas
ters are those superb Suppers and Mar
riages of Paul Veronese, and the grand
Alterations of Rubens. 1t is broad and
brilliant work, full of blazing light and
color, theatrical, IN the good sense and
not in the bad, for, without being false
or affected, it labors to present, with the
greatest splendor Of arrangement and
decoration, the full thought OF the
artist"

Just In Time.

Mr.. Louis He'll and his wife were out
visiting some friends last night, and did
not return to their home, No. 454 Broad
way, uutil nearly O'Clock this morning.
At that time they reached their door,
and was about to enter, when Mrs. He'll,
in trying to open it, found that some-
body was pushing on it from the inside.
She spoke to her husband OF it, and he
pushed.
Presently the door gave way and out
popped four strange men with their faces
concealed by handkerchiefs. Mr.. He'll
wanted to know what this meant, and
he was informed by the leader OF the
party, who drew pistol, that If he made
the least noise he'd get his head blown
off.
Mrs. He'll, however, not minding the
threat, raised scream for the police,
when the masked party struck out
for the back yard, jumping the
lence onto Spring street. A boy
who lives in the same building
says he heard noise as il some one was
entering, about five minutes before the
return of Mr.. and Mrs. He'll, conse-
quently the robbers had not got down to
work yet when they were disturbed.
