1t is with sincere regret that We
chronicle the demise of Professor NJ
Heating, who died at his home in this
town ate o'clock Wednesday evening,
He had been in failing health for sew
eral months, but wsls seldom SO i'll as
to prevent him from spending a por-
ton of each day supervising the ex-
ercises in his academy, and had thus
occupied himself short time on the
day preceding his death. He had APP
peared to those around him to be
gradually improving-had eaten food
with more relish on Tuesday than for
some time Beforehand no suspicion
was entertained that his malady was
SO serious or his end so near at hand.
Professor Heating was native of
Ireland, and had attained the age OF
50 years. The last four years of his
life were spent in Donaldsonville,
where he established popular and
successful school for the education of
the youth of both sexes in the ele-
meutary and IN ore advanced branches.
A man of fine education and deep re
search, he possessed a happy faculty
of imparting knowledge TO others
which fitted him emineDtly for the
occupation he pursued in life. He
leaves wife and three children
two sous and a daughter-to mourn
his loss, and to these the sympathy
of the entire community will be ex-
tended in their hour of sad bereave-
metlt. Deceased was buried in the
Catholic cemetery Thursday evening,
aud his remains were followed TO the
last resting place by a considerable
concourse of his friends and pupils,
despite the DRILLING rain which was
falling. The Independent Band, of
which Mr.. Heating was an honorary
member, led the procession and played
mouruful music on the way to the
cemetery.

Rain at last, and enough to make
it worth while! Early Thursday
afternoon a drizzling rain began to
fall and continued with varying force
until an early ho.r yesterday morn
ing. Representations of cold snap
after the shower have not yet been
fulfilled, as the temperature yesterday
was milder than it had been for sew
eral days. We have not learned of
tho extent to which sugar house ponds
have been replenished by the timely
rainfall, but We know that town els
terms have received considerable
supply of wafer.

Dir. J. C. Braud, who has 80 capably
filled the position of clerk to the Su-
pervison of Registration, has sustained
"a sad affection in the loss of his moth
eli, Mrs. p. Hebert, Sr., who died at
her residence near Dominique's Land
ing, Thursday evening st half past 4
O'Clock, aged 6S years. Mrs. Hebert
had sustained long and painful illness,
and death was to her happy release
from bodily suffering. Her Borrowing
relatives silonld find some consola-
ton in this reflection and from the
sympathy of surrounding friends, to
whose condolements our own are ad
ded. The funeral of deceased will
take place to-day, and her remains
will be deposited in the Catholic GEM

The facine on the Bayou Lafourehe
levee near it's junction with the river
levce is receiving much needed re-
pairs to fit it for service during the
season of high water. The water
sweeps with great force against the
levee at this point, aud too much
pains can not be taken to strengthen
the resisting power of the embank-

this poison-tO eliminate it from the
blood, the physician always endeavors to
produce a soluble or free state of the

their legitimate work. To accomplish

NEW DEAL IN THE CABINET.

On Monday President Grant made
several changes in his Cabinet, as fol-
lows: Attorney General Pierepcnt has
been nominated Minister to England;
Secretary of War Alfonso Taft assumes
PierepOnt's present portfolio and j.
Donald Cameron, son of Simon Cameron,
is named for Secretary of War. After
saying that these appointments took the
country by surprise, the Boston Journal
says:
Mr.. PierepOnt is scholarly man of
high character and good judgment, and
the appointment, we think, will be ac-
ceptable in England and regarded as
honorable to our Government. There is
public gain, also, in transferring Judge
Taft from the War Office to the Attorney
Generalship, as it takes him from mat
tiers where he had everything to learn to
those in which his lifelong legal train
ing has made him completely at home.
That he has done so well thus far in
the Cabinet augurs his complete success
as the chief law officer of the Govern
ment.
Had the Secretary of Wars place been
filled by an appointment of the same
grade as above, no special comment, ex-
cept of commentator would have been
elected. The selection of j. Donald
Cameron, however, is quite of another
character. He has no national reputa-
ton, nor has be, that we are aware Of
any local reputation which had pointed
him out as suitable for Cabinet office.
He is simply known as "the son of his
father" and his father is we'll known as
the leading, perhaps we should say con-
trolling politician of Pennsylvania. 1t
is barely possible that the secret of the
appointment is the Presidents good ma
ture and readiness to oblige friend,
which his appointments have more than
once disclosed.
1t is undeniable, however, that the
current republican view is different.
Whether President Grant is or is not
ambitious, like some of his predecessors,
to found personal party, this last ap-
pcintment would seem to indicate his
determination to follow in the footsteps
of jackson and nominate his own sue
cessor. 1t has often been stated that he
prefers for that honor Senator Conkling,
and now he would seem to confirm it by
a step intended to give Mr.. Conkling the
support of the great State of Pennsyl-
vania in the Cincinnati Convention,
through the Cancellation of the veteran
Simon Cameron. If there is any war
rant for this view of the matter, we will
not apply the old commercial quotation
about the difference between making
bargains and delivering the goods, be-
cause we are unwilling to use any such
terms in connection with President Grant
or Senator Conkling. We prefer to treat
the movement as one Of those political
arrangements into which the exigency
has tempted the parties, without under.
taking to settle its moral character very
J accurately.
As an arrangement, however, 1t is 4
blunder to say the least. The Presi
} dent Of the United States cannot swervt
from the path of plain impartiality in ;
contest like that now going on in th'
i Republican organization without the no
fairness recOiling upon the very partie

DEBILITY AND NERVOUS HEADACHE
Chronic, sick or nervous headache is
generally dependent on, or accompanied
by, impaired digestion, by which the
circulation and nutrition of the brain
are deranged, and the nervous centers
vitiated. The PERUVIAN SYRUP, by re-
invigorating the digestive powers, lays
the axe at the root of the tree; the
brain is duly nourished, the nervous
symptoms cease, and the headache dis
appears.

Great as mans influence is in reha-
bilitating the surface of the earth, he
only shares with the rest OF the organic
world in eftecting the vast changes to
which our planet is being increasingly
subjected. Everywhere insects may be
found, whose presence is sufficient to
exclude that of some of the most endur-
ing of the mammalia. Thus, in Para
quay, the abundance of a certain spe-
cies of fly, which attacks newborn cat
tie and horses, has prevented those ami
mails from running wild in the country,
although they abound north and south
of it. The presence of this pernicious
insect has, therefore, induced conditions
which have so completely altered the
vegetation, and, through the latter, also
the entire fauna of the district, that
Paraguay has acquired wholly differ
ent aspect from that presented by con-
tiguOus lands which are free from the
ravages of this fly. In South Africa,
the Tsetse fly has set even more fatal
mark on certain Well-defined districts
where it abounds, for within those linn
its no horses, dogs, or cattle can exist,
although asses, zebras, and antelOpes
are unaffected by it. AS long, there
fore, as the Tsetse fly endures, there will
remain a barrier against the entrance
of certain animals, more effectual than
any raised by mountains, streams, OF
arms of the sea.
