and paid no attention to the silent in- |
roads of an insidious disease. He
was often warned by his anxious
friends that he was everlasting what
he conceived to be an iron constitu-
ton; but still he labored and denied
himself that outdoor exercise so es-
sential to mitigate, if not to cure, that
dreaded, fatal disease, which, like the
upas tree, destroys every thing that
comes within its fell influence. He
was under the fattering impression
that a few days recreation with his
family at the delighted retreat of
Glenwood would soon re-establish his
health and enable him to resume his
professional labors.
Some three months ago he came
to Glenwood, but rapidly declining
healh caused him to Invoke the medi-
cal aid of DR.. R. R. Beasley, who was
constantly at his bedside and rendered
in vain all possible assistance.
The many devoted friends and old
comrades of Capt. Sims were continu-
ally at the bedside, giving all neces-
sary aid and comfort without avail, and
the morning of the 9th of September,
1876, witnessed the curtain dropped
on the sad scene. His sufferings were
intense and borne with the fortitude
of brave and heroic spirit. Like a
bright meteor, he flashed in the heay-
emily sky and was no more.
AS soon as the intelligence of the
death Of Capt. Sims was confirmed,
the Masonic order assembled and pre-
pared to give him a fraternal inter
ment.
Past Master Geo. G.. Garner, as
sisted by Past Masters E. B. Cox and
j. L. Moseman, performed the beau
tiful and solemn ceremonies over the
corpse at the residence of Mr.. Jones,
and Bros. l. ID. Moore of Benevolent

203, as pall-bearers bore the body OF
Bro. Sims to the Episcopal Church, Of
which he was a member, and where
the impressive service of the Church
was read by the Rev. Bro. Lyme. The
casket in which Bro. William Sims
was enclosed was conveyed by the
Masons to its place of final interment
and after religious services were ad,
ministered Bro. Garner concluded
with Masonic burial rites.
In person Capt. Sims was tall, hand
some and graceful. In his intercourse
with the public, he was frank, manly
aud courteous, always leaving a fav-
orable impression upon all those will
whom he came in contact. He leaves
a widow and four children to mourn
his death. > = = NJ. NJ.

Nut GRASS, OR Cocoa writer in
the Southern Cattiuator, speaking of
that great pest, nut grass, or coco"
says:
I know of but one way to exter-
inmate it, which is, unfortunately,
not in the power of many to adopt !;
and that is to food the land at least
foot deep during the winter, three
months.
The Opelousas Journal, however,
suggests more simple and practic-
able method:
From our experience with it, it can
be greatly reduced if not entirely de-
stroyed by shading. Sow oats on the
ground in the fall, and as sooll as the
oats are taken off in the spring, SOW
COW peas pretty thick. This viii
keep the ground so shaded during the
entire warm season that the grass can
not grow and the nuts seem to die
out when the ground is kent con-
stantly and aensely shaded.

Now is the collapse of the Flagg
bolt in this Judicial District complete,
as witness the following from the
HahnEille Herald of last week:
At length the Republicans of St.
Charles have rendered merited JUS
tice, though tardy, to the regular Re-
publican nominees of the Fourth Ju-
dicial District-Messrs. Marks and
Earhart. The resolution endorsing
these gentlemen was passed by the
parish convention on Saturday last,
without one dissenting voice, and
even Peter Harper, the leader of the
delegation from this parish to the St.
James boiling convention, in o few
well timed remarks, called upon ev-
cry honest Republican to endorse and
stand by the nomination of Messrs.
Marks and Earhart. And the thun-
dering burst of applause which greeted
his words, must have convinced every
one that Messrs. Marks and Earhart
possess, indeed, the confidence of the
people. We shake thee by the hand,
Peter, and trust that hereafter thy
speech will be heard on the side of
the people, by the people and only
for the people.

The suItry Days of Summer.

Hot weather is very exhausting upon the
energies, and its influence renders the sys-
TEN peculiarly liable to disease. During
the close and sultry days of July and An
gust, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cholera Nor
bus, Cramps, Collie, and pains in the stom-
ach are common and fatal diseases. 1t is
na enough to trust to a curative when at
tackled, for it is essential to fake proper
measures for their prevention. An unfail-
ing preventative of all summer complaints
exists in DIR. RADCLIFF's SEVEN SEALS OR
GOLDEN WONDER; and this standard yege-
table preparation is no less eficaeious as a
cure. Thousands have used it for all dis
eases incident to the summer solstiee, and
always with the happiest results. Complete
cures are effected in the worst cases.

The St. Charles Herald gives this
parting shot to the gentleman who
for brief season labored under the
hallucination that the bench of the
Fouth Judicial District Court had
been constructed for his exclusive oc-
cupation and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
The champion Office seeker in this
State is o. J. Flagg of this parish.
Honestly beaten in tho judicial coll
vention for District Judge; hopelessly
ambitious for seat on the Supreme
Court bench, and vet again candi-
date for the District Judgeship before
a boiling convention in st. James,
this persistent plaee-hunter wanted
to be the Parish Judge of st. Charles,
and but for the manly determination
of Mr.. Horanson not give way, Mr..
Flagg's name would have been pre-
sented to the convention for the po-
sitiOn. Are not the eyes of the hand
full of followers who have adhered to
the fortunes of Judge Flagg now open
to the sole desire of his heart-office ?
And are they willing to suffer that
ignominieus political death which will
surely orertake any boiler from the
Republican party2 We don't guess

SCHENCK AND SOME OF HIS
FRIENDS.

Gen, Schenck describes his friend and
patron Park as "liberal and generous
man." But that is no name for it, Gen.
Schenck. Park is sublime philanthro-
pist who towers head and shoulders
above all merely liberal and generous
6nanciers. Just recollect what he did
for you at time when your luck was
running bad andyou were holding hands
that had no money in them. He fairly
forced in toyour pockets $4,000 of stock,
lent you the money to pay for it and
charged you no interest, overwhelmed
you with dividends which the stock had
never really earned, and when the time
came around for the final settlement in
sisted that you owed him $4,000 less
than you thought you did. This was too
much magnanimity for even you to swal-
low, and you paid up your obligations
like Major.General transferring to the
whole-souled Park the sum of S637oo, in
the following shape:
Cash, $I,7oo.
Certificates of stock in the Vermillion
Coal Company of Illinois, the National
Insurance Company of Washington, and
other companies, to the amount of $32,-
900.
Promissory note of M. Woodruff for
$4,000, endorsed by Schenck.
No wonder you consider Park liberal
and generous man, Gen Schenck, This
purely benevolent fnancier must have
known that Vermillion Coal Company
certificates are not worth a continental
that the National Insurance Company of
Washington is Boss Shepherd exploded
concern, and that the note of Woodruff,
endorsed BY Schenck, is paper the mere
sight of which would make any sane
banker shudder. No wonder, erepeat,
that you are grateful to Mr.. Park. He
has been kinder than an uncle to you

SAN FRANCISCO.
The Chinese Excitement.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-At the anti
Chinese meeting at Unions Hall and the
street in front, was attended by at least
ten thousand persons. Gov. Irwin presi-
ded in the Hall. Resolutions were
adopted setting forth the evils following
from Chinese immigration, and urging
that local measures Of relief had been
exhausted and that the only resource
left was to appeal to the treaty making
power, and that delegation be sent to
Washington to urge immediate action.
The meeting was addressed by number
of prominent gentlemen counseling
moderate and conservative action, and
enjoining full protection to the Chinese
now in this country, and deprecating
earnestly any violent proceedings. The
meeting was quiet and orderly, and evil
IDENTIFY in harmony with the views ad-
vanced by the speakers. Ample prepa'
rations had been made to suppress any
riotous proceedings. A Gordon of police
had been drawn around China town and
its inhabitants counseled by their lea
ders to remain in their own quarters.
Great alarm had existed among them,
and extra purchases Of weapons made
by them during the last few days in
anticipation of trouble, but the city re-
maincd perfectly quet througout the eve

A MAN ROBBED OF OYER 5000.

On Monday last an old gentleman by
the name of Robert White got on the ex-
press at Forest, with the intention of COM
ing to this place. He had in his pocket
book between 5000 and 500 and the
conductor who was aware of this fact,
and also cognizant that White was slight
ly intoxicated, advised him not to fall
asleep on the train, as pickpockets were
always on the alert for just such cases.
He promised to keep his eyes wide open,
but stupor soon overcame him and he
fell into deep sleep. He awoke about
half way between Forest and Mansfield,
and feeling for his wallet found it absent
to considerable extent. Then you bet
he was mad,
When the train reached this city, three
men-who were afterward ascertained to
be professional pickpockets-jumyed
from the train and started off, through
the mud, in the direction of Lucas, foot
ing it the whole way. They reached
there at eleven o'clock that night. In
tle,meantime White, who had suspicioned
two of the men, and who supposed they
were still on the train went on to Loudon-
vile. By the time he gotthere he found
the follows had given him the slip. The
pickpockets remained all night at Lucas,
and on Tuesday morning took the train
east. The operator at Lucas who had
been posted on the robbery, saw them
board the train, and telegraphed to the
Marshal at Loudenville to have a force
in readiness to arrest the three men upon
their arrival They were successfully
bagged, brought to Mansfield and han
ded over to Judge Lemon, who conveyed
them to the Cooler" and searched
them, finding upon one S2o upon the
second S4, and upon the second three
dollars. They were tried, plead guilty
to the charge Of being suspicour charac-
tiers, and were each fined threty-fve
dollars. How they managed to raise that
amount with only twenty-seven dollars
b between them has not been vouchsafed
to us.-Mansfeld Herald March goth.
