Coon ADvIcE.-We know that many
farmers have an idea that they cannot write
well enough for publication but this is all
nonsense in this connection. We have plen-
ty of employees in our Office who can write
and spell better than they can talk agricul-
ture, and if our friends will give us their
experience and opinions in plain way, there
are those here who will put their communi.
cations in proper shape. We want to get at
the facts which our readers alone can furnish
US, and the rest we can take care Of here
If you have found new variety OF potatoes
which is better than the old ones, write and
let US know it. If you have found how to
raise pork at profit, tell US about 1t. If
you have proved anything by experiments in
feeding cattle, or breaking colts, or keeping
hens, let US know that, and so on.
Again, if there is anything you want to
know before you decide upon next year 5
operations, write and ask about it. If we
know we shall be glad to tell you, and if we
do not we will try and make some subscriber
inform us. A long winter is coming and it
would be very foolish in all of us to let 1t
pass without learning very much which will
help us next year. We can learn much
from books but more from each other

The Scientific Farmer says The New
Hampshire Board Of Agriculture are discuss
ing means of resettling the 1000 deserted
farms of that State. 1t is hoped to make
some provision with the owners by which
settlers can be induced to take them up
again, possibly by the owners giving bond
for deed after few years Improvement

ANXIOUS.

The SHERIFF.-Amid the din and
turmoil of the coming battle at home
which has already been sounded in
every street in Alexandria, and in
the hearing of every log cabin in the
country, we can gather and pick up
loose the names Of numerous candi-
mates for all the District and Paro-
CHA offices, except that of Sheriff.
It is strange, passing strange, that
we have not as yet even heard the
light or secret tread of any patriot in
search of the Sheriff's baton. Why
is this SOP What does it mean? We
have sought the cause, and as it is
no secret or favoritism, we may as
we'll diyulge it and let it be a compli-
ment, a bay leaf coronet, to our pres
ent Sheriff. The cause is short.
sweet and conclusive, David G. Paul,
has made good and most excellent
Sheriff, the only one since recon-
struction, and the people here are
willing and anxious to let well alone,
and permit all opposition to 60 by
default. And further we think there
is an implied consent that he shall
again be our nominee for reelection,
and woe to the patriot who would
seek to contest the palm with him.
We desire not to scare off any one, nor
above all to dictate, but we know in
this instance we are the mouthpiece
ola people and a party, who can ap,
preciate worth and render praises
when deserved to it and the good Off
cial when known.

A PARAGRAPH WORTH READING
In his remarks in the Senate s;t,
ting as Court Of Impeachment, ve,-
terday, Matt Carpenter, the sen;o,
counsel for Belknap, was, as usual
impertinent and disrespectful to tha
members Of the Court, indirectly
charging them with the intention 81

trial. Many Senators sat uneas;l,
under his insinuations; and Judo.
Thurman, of Ohio, was noticeablv
annoyed. Just at the close of thu
proceedings, Judge Thurman, in tn.
course of a few rsmarks, said, point.
ing toward Carpenter, "The Senate
has been treated with scant respect
and the law with less" Seeing that
the Judge was annoyed, Carpenter
walked over, and putting one hand
good-naturedly on Thurman's shoul.
der, extended the other for shake
at the same time saying something
inaudible to persons in the galleries.
Thurman refused to extend his hand,
but Carpenter kept on talking, and,
finally, with gentle force secured
possession of it, and shook it heartily
Thurman was evidently still angry
and, withdrawing his hand, began
talking and gesticulating earnestly,
frequently bringing his fist down on
his desk, in very emphatic manner.
Carpenter finally turned and spoke
to Senator Norwood, Of Georgia, and
subsequently returned to Thurman.
and placing his hand on his Thur.
mans shoulder, again began talking
pleasantly. Thurman rather gruffly
shook it off, and Carpenter, evidently
despairing of modifying him, turned
away. This little scene was wit.
messed with a good deal of interest
from the reporters gallery.

The Great Show.

Mabie's Great Show and Exposi
ton, the best advertised concern We
ever knew IN this country, and with
al a perfect and complete exposition
with varied and talented performers
under the best and most approved
management, will be here on Satur
day. We are certain they will leave
more money here than they take
away, are no dead beats, but most
excellent artists of every land and
cline, and surely merit the most
generous support from our whole
community. Its collections of wild
animals and birds alone make it an
attractive show well worth seeing
and aside from it's other reputable
attractions cannot fail to please and
instruct all whom we hope will flock
to its tents. By all means favor all
such shows as Mabie's!

Sound Doctrine.

The New Orleans Democrat ID
sound to the core and gets off doc.
trines to its constituents, and in the
following short article hits the nail
right on the head, and just suits our
notions. We reproduce it and know
it will bear reading here and bear
bordering on:
There can be no objection to par.
ish conventions, which assemble to
send delegates to the State Conven-
ton, expressing preference for any
particular gentleman for any partic-
ular Office. But we believe it unwise
for the local conventions to positive
ly instruc. their delegates for any
man. The object of every delega-
ton will certainly be to secure the
nomination Of the best and strongest
candidates, and this they are not free
to do when they are hampcred by
positive instructions. A candidate
may seem to be very strong to the
people Of one locality, while, in truth,
he may be, in the State at large, a
very weak man, and his weakness
may only be discovered when the
convention meets. Thepolicy Of the
local conventions should be to send
class Of men to the Convention who
cannot be manipulated by dema.
gogues, and who feel that the inter-
ests of the Democratic Conservative
party are infinitely higher than those
of any man in the State, and that, to
the public good, the interests and
aspirations of all men must be sub
ordinated. The delegates should be
men too, who will 60 to the Conven-
ton with the purpose of harmonizing
all elements of the party, and com
bine them in one mighty, determined
and invincible army for the redemp-
ton Of Louisiana.

IMPAIRED DIGEsT1oN.-The major

lesser degree from this sad affection
many unthinkingly cultivate it by
insufficiently masticating their food
others whose occupation is of Sc
dentary character have it forced upon
them, the excessive use of tobacco,
&C., all tend to develop it. The
symptoms vary, one suffering severe.
ly after meals, another only slightly,
constipation or diarrhoea, fatulence,
variable appetite, &C., are only a few
Of its unpleasant consequences.
Now what is required, is attention to
diet, assisted by remedy which
aids the natural secretions in the
alimentary canal, and produces again
a normal solvency of food. Such a
valuable remedy is the celebrated
Home Stomach Bitters.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
I notice in your last issue sug-
gestion of the name of DR.. Taylor of
St. Landry for the office of State
Auditor in the coming election. DR..
Taylor is a gentleman in every way
worthy the support of the people for
any office in their gift, but I think I
know gentleman equally as entitled
to their respect, confidence and sup
port, who, 1 believe, will accept the
nomination if rendered to him. |
refer to Mr.. Frank II. Hatch, of New
Orleans.
If, as we hope and have every rea-
son to believe, Rapides will have one
of her honored sons for Governor,
New Orleans, whose people are
agreed that the country shall have
the nomination Of Governor, will in
all fairness have right to the choice
of the other positions on the ticket
and in this respect Mr.. Hatch will
have superior claims to those of Dr.
Taylor.
I throw out this suggestion, Mr.
Editor, as the friend of Mr.. Hatch or
my own account and hope to see him
nominated.
Respectfully,
AMICITS.

their whereabouts.
District Court is to begin here next

taken this step to escape legal conse.
