The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-01-26

lie TO much carly printed remarks II
the bloody shirt papers concerning
the purposes Of the Southern people
i The browning speech Of the debate
was that Of General Banks on Thurs
Eday. He made ali eloquent appea
| for peace, which alone could restor'
4 prosperity, in place of the depression
which rests upon the country, taking
from men their property, from labor
ers their employment, from womel
and children their bread; which i.
/ destroying not only the welfare O
the present, but importing the hopes
Of the future.
Profound attention was given the
speech throughout A whisper
might have been heard in the gale
ries during its delivery, and when
concluded buzz Of approval filled
the vast assembly. The universal
feeling here is that Blaine and his
followers are out of sympathy with
the people and the times. They have
staked all on desperate card and
lost.
| have already exceeded my allot-
ted space in attempting to give an
adequate idea of this discussion in
which everything else has been lost
sight of here. The Senate has been
mostly occupied with the President
pro tempore discussion, and has f.
nally settled it by retaining Mr.. Fer
ry. President Grant has sent in his
appointment of Billings to succeed
the scoundrel Durell as judge in Lou
isiana. It is putting one rascal in
the place of another, and he will not
be confirmed. Several financial
measures have been introduced in
both houses, the points Of which will
shortly be discussed. 1t is more
than likely, however, that the re-
sumption act Of 1875 viii be repealed
and something better substituted in
its place. The Republican Commit
tee have called their National Con
vention to meet at Cincinnati June
IA. This is q preliminary victory
for Bristow and Morton.

WEIGHT OF Hoes BY MEASUREMENT.
The same general rule applies to
smaller animals-hogs sheep. etc.,
as to cattle. This is, take the girth
of the hog just behind the shoulder
blade, and the length from the bone
of the tail to the fore part of the
shoulder blade, getting the dimen-
sions in feet and inches; multiply
these measurements together, which
reduced to feet, given the square SUI
perfcial feet; multiply again by the
number Of pounds allowed to the SUI
perfcial foot. This depends upon
the size of the animal; for animals
having girtl of from 3 to 5 feet al
low l6 pounds to the superficial foot
and if the girth is less than 3 feet,
allow IL bounds to the superficial
foot. Suppose a pig measures2 feet
in girth and 2 feet along the back;
these together gives
square feet, and this multiplied by
III, pounds to the superGial foot for
animals measuring less than 3 feet
in girth) gives A pounds as the
weight Of the pig.
A PREPARATION so widely and
favorably known as Halls Vegetable
Sicilian Hair Remover, needs few
words of praise from us. This COM.
pound has won its way to the high
est favor in the public mind; and
multitudes, who have yainly used
other remedies for the restoration Of
their hair, have, on trying the sicil
ian Remover, been made glad by the
speedy restoration of their gray hair
TO its natural color, and the thin locks
up, as in the days of early
youth. It also prevents the hair fall
ing out, makes it soft and glossy,
md is altogether the best prepare
lion for its intended purposes before
