TIE LIE AARQUE DECISION.
ISt. Ionin Mntohman |

The Supreme Court of this State gave last
week its decision in the case of the heirs Of
Madame LIE Marque versus the Archbishop,
which had been in the courts for ten years or
moro Mrs. LIE MSIque lived in Washington
county, in this State, and during her long and
edifyinG life had scted as godniother general
to the large French congregation living in the
vicinity of Old Mines. By her munifoent aid
priest was enabled to live among them. A
church and sohoolhouge were erected and
maintained. The former is one of the neatest
in the State. When Madame lie Marque saw
that her days on earth were numbered, she
considered how after her death she might CON
tinue the work Of charity and religion which
had engaged the greater part Of her widow
hoods years. Her first Thought was TO create
q fund and appoint trustees for the mainteu-
ance Of the parish. By the advice Of able
counsel she execatsd the will that has just
been declared fraudulent instrument.
BY the terms of that will eight thousand
dollars was bequeathed to PeteF Richard Ken
rick, absolutely and without condition, sti pu-
lstion OF formal promise. The heira attacked
this provision, insisting that the bequest was
made in violation of . clause in the oOnstitu-
tien Of the State, foEbidding any property,
real or personal being given, conveyed, sold
or bequeathed to any church OK church
man. Peter Richard Renriok was church
man, and hence the beqnest was illegal. By =
peFusal Of the will lt was seen thss sll mentiOn

GENERAL BEAUREaARD's LETTER.

NEW ORLEANS March A. 1876.
Dear Sri have read the above address OF
the citizens of Louisiana of Irish nativity and
parentsge, relative to the advantages offered
to immigrants in the five Attalrspas parishes
of this State, and have no hesitation in certify
ing to the correctness of the facts given and
representations made in said address.
These parishes are healthy and their lands
are fertile, capable of yielding fine returns to
proper industry and economy.
Yours most truly,
G.. T. BEAURE0ARD,
Civil and Military Engineer.

LOUISIANA IMMIGRATION.

The undersigned, citizens of Louisiana. Of
Irish nativity or pareDtage, desire to call the
attention Of all who are seeking new homes to
the great advantages this State offers to the
agriculturist.
Fertile lands. can be bought on very reason
able terms, both as to price and time for pay
ments. Our numerous lakes and bayous fur
nish cheap outlets for farm products.
The five Attakapas PARISHES, Wig: Lafayette,
with the parish of St. Landry, contain land
enough, not now under cultivation, to support
an additional population of more than $50 600
souls. The lands of these parishes produce a
variety of crops, SUCH as sugar-cane, cotton,
rice, corn, hay, fruits and vegetables great
portion being prairie land, the pasturage is
excellent.
With the exception of O fractional portion
east of the Teche, the lands are above over
dow and safe from crevasses of the Mississippi
or it's tributaries.
For the ,rorking farmer we believe no more
desirable locations can be found in the Union,
taking into account the fertility of the lands
and their extreme chespness at present market
rates.
Our French Canadian brethren will find in
the Attakapss q congenial population, their
people in race and creed, and we would call
their attention to the fact that here their ex-
lied Acadiau brothers found q home in olden
times

To ALL. particularly invalids, spring is 8 trying
season. Indications of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become constipated, and the
system to remain in 4 disordered condition, until
the disorder has tune to develop itself An ounce
ofpreventiOn Is worth pound Of cure is an old
aid truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who
are troubled with the complaints now very preva-
lent-headaehe, md sestion, discrdered liver want
Of appette, nausea. or feversh skim to take with
cut delay, Schenek's Mandrake Pills. We know of
no remedy SO harmless and decisive in its action.
1t at once strikes at the root OF the disease and
produces healthy tone to the system. People
never need suffer from any disease arising from
disordered condition of the liver if hey would take
this excellent medicine when they feel the first in
dcations OF the malady. Families leaving home
for the summer months should take three or four
boxes Of these pills with them. They have an al
ne , instantaneous effect. They will relieve the
pal snt Of headache in one or two hours, AID will
rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and
will efiectually prevent bilious attack They are
sold by all druggists. May /, -deodkwlm 3p

4 WIFE-BEATER IN beating
seems to be becoming quite popular
amusement. recently. The latest case is
that OF James Bingham. St. Paul street,
who was arraigned in City Court. Wednesday
morning. 1t seems that on Tuesday Bing-
ham got irritated at some domestic triae and
forthwith broke up housekeeping with an
axe mirror, bureau, marble-top table and
sundry chairs being resolved into kindling-
wood before his deyouring wrath. The
work OF destruction being completed he
started out after his wife (who was visiting
at a neighhor -, chased her over the neigh
borhood and beat her severely with an UNI
hrella stick. Seeing nothing heroic to ac-
complish further. he then concealed him
elf. Wednesday . m, however, he was ar
rested and after full hearing fined SIS and
costs, from which decision he appealed and
gave bail in the sum Of fifty dollars The
only matter Of regret is that such brute
should escape so easily. and We think the
City Grand Juror erred in not asking for
heavier penalty
