Most medicines which are advertised rs
blood purifiers aud liver medicines contain
eli her mercury, in some form, or potassium
and iodine yariously combined. All Of
these agents have strong tendency to break
down the blood corpuscles, and debilirale
an,. otherwise perm inently injure the hu-
man system, and should therefore he dis
carded. DR.. PIERCE Golden Discovery, on
the other hand, being composed oi the
fluid extracts OF native piant-, barks and
Roots will in no case produce injury, its eli
fecrs being Strengthening aud curative only.
Sarsaparilla, which used 10 enjoy quite Il
reputation as a blood purifier, is remedy
OF rhiity years ago, and may We give place
as 1t is doing, to the more positive and val
liable vegetable alternatives which later
medical investigation and discovery has
brought to light. In Scrofuia or Kings

A Grand Parade Expected.

From Mr.. J. BENZ. Chandler, Secre-
tary of the Veteran Association, we
learn that no fewer than forty-threc
associations have agreed upon parading
In the grand procession on the Fourth
of July next, and seventeen others are
on the point of registering, and will
probably do so by Monday. Nine other
associations have promised their aid by
affiliation with other societies, their
bylaws preventing them from pa.
rading as body. -,
Six associations in country towns will
celebrate at home to-day, rs follows: at
Greensburg. jackson, Amite, and Bayou
Sara. The Butchers Association OF JEFF
ferson. Butchers Association OF New
Orleans, the Sociedad Menorquina, the
Portuguese Benevolent Association, the
Draymen's Association and several Ger
man associations have called on the
executive committee for information on
the subject, but nave not come to any
determination as yet.
The grand marshal will delay the pro-
gramrne until Monday night, to give
| further time for delinquents to decide.
The programme will be published on
Tuesday morning. The Louisiana As
sociation Of Veterans will meet to-day
at D. m.. at No. So st. Charles street.

Exhibition of Franklin Girls school.

One Of the most recherche entertain
ments Of the season was the closing eX-
ercises of the Franklin Girls School.
A large number of the friends and rela-
tives Of the young ladies were present,
and the manner in which the scholars
supported their several parts made the
exhibition a perfect success. The pro
gramme consisted of selections Of mu-
sical and literary gems well adapted to
the occasion.
Amongst the exercises we deem most
worthy of notice was the recitation,
1.-THE Maiden Of Judea," by Miss Lettie
Shearer. This young lady has a clear,
sweet voice, and showed by the manner
in which she recited her piece that she
was an efficient scholar.
The rendition of " The Laugh and the
Moan" by Miss Lulu Derbridge, showed
that her elocutionary powers were won
derful and merited the just applause
accorded her.
The exhibition was closee by recita-
ton. entitled the Rainbow" in which
seven of the scholars participated.
The school is under the able manage
ment Of Mrs. G.. Carleton, and her as
sistants, Mrs. Uampson Stanislaus Pitt
man, and Misses Oliver, Young and
Harris. The music for the occasion,
which was delightful, was under the
direction of Miss Emma Smith.

WARDS CONFESSIONS.
MIS- story Of the Attempted Assassinatie
Of wilde ana Devereux.


J. w. Ward, alias John II. Mcclure,
the alleged would -be-assassin OF Thos.
Devereux, an ex detective, in February
last, and the party who tried to assassi-
nate A. F. Wilde, a few months previous,
in the parish Of st. Bernard. stated in
an interview with DEMOCRAT reporter
that he is entirely innocent OF the
charges preferred against him by Mr..
Devereux, and says that he was shot on
the night in question, at the corner OF
st. Mary and Rousseau streets, by some
unknown parties concealed behind O
fence.
This he says he can prove by compe-
tent witnesses whenever they will give
him trial. When interrogated by the
reporter hs to how he accounted for the
powder singing his face, he mumbled
something to himself and branched of
from the path OF conversation to when
he was in the Charity Hospital suffering
from the amputation OF his arm. He
said while there he was visited by q
prominent lawyer OF this city, in the
guise Of preacher, who told him that
| his end was near approaching and that
