A wrong impression exists among tho mcr-
chants that the change decided upon by the
Southwestern Railroad Association Ia regard to
the Weighing Of lumber is virtually m advance
Of rates. Such Is not the fact, % the rates are
rather reduced, II anything. The new arrange
ment makes It imperative that lumber be billed
by actual weight. The rates have been saa, 80
per car Of 4000 pounds from Chicago to Nils
suurl Niyer points, and 69m per car
Of 24,o00 pounds from Hannibal and 81.

A IMMINENT FOR HoRsEs.--R s.
Steele writes to the American Far.
mers Club: "Some time ago / was
good deal worried with couple Il
horses which had sore backs. TRIED
various remedies without success,
and was beginning TO despair when
the following recipe came to my no.
tice: "The inner blrk OF white oak
bark boiled down in an iron kettle
never use brass one until it is as
black as ink, while boiling drop in. i
piece Of alum about the size Of 4
hens egg" This liniment is to he
applied with sponge, and is good
for any sore or bruise; il fact, it il i
safe thing to keep in ones barn
ready to use when occasion requires.
As I found this so useful, l venture
to send it for the benefit Of others
who may not be in the possession Of
anything SO good. I think it is also
an excellent plan in warm weather
to clean the collars often with CASTLE
SOAP"

TO THE PEOPLE OF RAPIDES.

After two years efforts to accom-
plish the object of their organization,
under great difficulties and discour-
agement, the Cemetery Association
find themselves destitute of the
means required to complete the work

diture Of less than Four Hundred
Dollars, contributed by few indi-
viduals of the many in our Parish
whose friends and relatives are in
tered in the Cemetery, we have en-.
closed the ground and paid the salary
of Sexton, whom we have now been
compelled to discharge for want OF
means to pay him.
The grounds must be drained,
walks made and shrubbery planted,
and it is absolutely necessary to
build house for a Sexton, to insure
the protection and permanency ofour
labors. When this is done we will
require but small amount of money
yearly to keep the grounds in order.
A few hundred dollars now will ena.
BILE US to complete our work-without
it we must disband, and the work al.
ready done will be lost.
In the name of our dead, and Of
yoar dead friends and relatives, We
appeal to you to help US protect theil
bones and graves from spoilation and
dissertation.
By order of the Association pub
lie meeting will be held on MONDAY
the 9Th of MAY, for the purpose O.
adopting some measures to raise the
means required to accomplish ou1
purposes and complete our work.

Who is Indicted, and for Wh.t,

Orville E. Babcock is indicted +,
conspiracy to falsely accuse a reput.,
BILE citizen of Washington Of most
odious crime. The name Of that CHI.
zen is Columbus Alexander, and he ~.
to be falsely accused of breaking Oman

valuable papers. 1t may be remarked
that originally the word conspiracy
was used almost exclusively to signify
an agreement of two or moro persona
falsely to indite one, or to procure him
to be indicted, of felony.
And who is Orville E. Babcock who
thus stands indictedi For seven yean
past he has exercised, as Secretary to
the President, a very large part Of the
office of President of the United States
He has stood between the people and
the President. Ho has undoubtedly
influenced hundreds and even thou.
sands Of appointments. He opened
the letters Of the President, and show.
ed to him only such as he saw It,
When General Babcock was accused Of
a crime against the revenue Of the
country, the President shielded him
by his influence, and tho Attorney
General came to his rescue by tho issue
Of most extraordinary order. VIII he

Fortunately Congress is now 10 sss.

owner, the President of the Return
ing Board, in announcing his recent
arrival here, we feel in respect bound
to assume the task. Matt Wells, for
be it known we can't help calling him
by that familiar name, for it clusters
back thick old pensees yet fresh in
our memorial casket, reached here,
his old Alexandria stamping ground,
Monday week, and with his usual
vim and Giant stirred up the home
stock of his menagerie, and blazed
anew the old slumbering embers of
the home wigwam. He only re-
manned here whilst the Packet was
lischarging her Town freight, fixed
up the tricks of his house political,
ana went above on her.
Now we must assert our pleasure
at his visit and bid him success in
the work he has mapped out for him
self and his keno chum Of the Re-
turning Board. We are more than
pleased to know that we shall have
the two as candidates against US,
and shall know where to find them
and how to face and meet them. In
brief Matt wants the nomination of
his party for Congress in this Dis
trict and has started out in his usual
earnest to merit and get it, and at
the same time he is in the interest of
Keno Anderson for the nomination
for Governor, and is sure to give him
a big lift in the Red River Parishes.
Now, friends, patriots, Independents,
stool pigeons of Kellogg and cursers
of Democracy, what think you of
this news3 How do you like it?
We are almost certain it will be, and
"you alp may as well make up your
minds to meet it, face it, and join us
hand in hand to fight it, but to fight
it legitimately, with bold front and
under one flag.

p. j. BYRNE, a young gentleman
of unexceptionable business traits
and steady habits, has branched out
for himself, made his inaugural stand
under the lower corner of the Town
Hall, and offers cheap and rare in
ducements to consumers and specially
to heads of families. His card, else
where to be found in our columns, is
a compendium of what he has on
hand and of what he intends to con.
tinually renew and constantly keep.

BY far the most important office
to be filed by our people, at the com
ing election, is that of District Judge
of this Judicial District, composed
of Rapides, Vernon and Grant. We
hope the last four years reign of the
herculean heap of assininity and stu
pidity which has been counted on US,
will be a sufficient warning for the
people to be on the sharp lookout.

THE COurt feels pood all ~

The Court feels good all over
she says it is only matter of form
for her to be again elected, and again
slip on the ermine of this Judicial
District. OF course she'll be the
nominee, for her party has no one
else to nominate, but with due cour.
tesy to her honor we think her foot
will slip this time clean beyond the
precincts of the Returning Board.
