SSIER PARISH, LOUISIANA, TUESDAY JANUARY 49, 1876

The New York papers are burdened
with surmises as to how Tweed made his
escape. As the ex-boss had seven or
eight steamers to select from, and had
money to buy one for his own use, it il
very likely he slipped off over the sea.
Foster Dewey, Tweed's private secreta-
y, has also disappeared with his master.
He had talked Of going to Boston the
day before the disappearance, but he is
not there, and the inference is that he
has resolved to follow the fortune of
Tweed.

about the size Of an orange has green,

whisky and Life insurance. v

submitted an interesting paper to the
American Health Association last week
on " Alcohol in Relation to Life In
surance." The doctor adopted the cold,
practical, unscientifc view which men
of business take of the drinking habits Of
other men, leaving to others the con-
sideration Of the effects, moral and physi-
cal, upon the individual and upon co.
ciety, of indulgence in alcoholic drinks.
1t appears that thirty-fou years ago
+" The United Kingdom Temperance and
General Provident Institution T" was or
ganized in London, with the intention Of
restricting its business entirely to teeto-
talers. The company learned, however,
after an extended trial. that the number
of this class was not sufficiently large to
reduce to the desired limit the cost Of in
surance, and they were either forced to
extend their line or to retire from bus
mess. They chose the former alterna-
tive, and while still excluding applicants
Of intemperate habits, they accepted
those whose use Of alcohol was called
temperate. The two classes, however,
teetotalers and temperate drinken-were
kept distinct. The statistics of the COM
pany down to 1874 give the following
results: In the class of teetotalers the
actual death rate fell short of the ex-
pected rate fraction over 80 per cent.
On the other hand, ameng the temperate
drinkers. the actual death rate fell short
of the expected rate, but to the extent
only Of one-tenth of one per cent. While
believing that the temperate use of alec
holic drinks is not productive of any
evil results, and that teetotalism does
not furnish the true rule of living, still,
says DR.. Harrison, these figures challenge
examination, and it behooves US to con-
slider what answer we are to make to an
argument based on such facts.
DR.. Harrison believes that false no.
menclature is largely responsible for the
blindness Of people in general respecting
the abuse in the use Of intoxicating
liquors. The fact too little insisted on il
that these agents are narcotics az well a.
stimulants, and nine times out of ten the
man who fatters himself that he liz stim.
ulated is presenting the symptoms of in.

him to read far clearer than of old the

THE executive committee Of the
Woodruff county agricultural and me-
chanical association have issued in PAM
phlet form the address delivered by Gov
ernor Garland, of Arkansas, at the re-
cent fair of the above association. The
address is replete with valuable informa-
ton, judicious suggestions and interest
ing statistics relative to the condition
and improvement of Arkansas, and
should be carefully read by every citizen
Of that state. In the concluding portion
of the address Governor Garland says:
"Great efforts are now being made by the
co-operators of England, i've hundred
thousand strong, with their headquar-
ters at Manchester, to establish a direct
trade with this rich agricultural valley !;
and if the labor of Eads be not in vain,
may me not hope to see before long one
cultivated field from here to the gulf,
and its produce shipped direct to Eng.
land through the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi river? As an inducement and
incentive to our people to progress and
to note well their steps, here comes
the centennial exhibition at Philadel-
phia in 1876, where at the temple
of liberty will be gathered all her
children to tell their history and take
their stand. The civilized world will be
there to pass judgment upon each and
every one of the family, and a record
will be kept for future use and refer.
