magician. He saw the palace, and
heard that it was put up in one
night by Aladdin, and OWNED the
truth at once. The Genie, Slave
of the Lamp, must have been the
boss carpenter! He devised q
plan for obtaining the lamp. He
got some bran-new ones and went
to the palace when Aladdin was
away, crying 'New lamps for old"
when one of the kind girls traded
off the magic lamp, ignorant of its
value as of everything else, thus
making Aladdin a lamp-lighter

ton he at length joined an expe-
dition about to penetrate to the
interior of Africa to search for DR..
Livingstone. He did not find the
Dr., but he did his palace. He
communicated secretly with his
wife. She drugged the magician's

Editor CHRONICLE
With your permission Ipropose
to consider our town and its sur
roundings, in the past, present and
future. Like all other towns,
Colfax has had its day of tribula-
ton, created in times of high poll
teal excitement. It was legiti-
mate result that the political par
ties should contend for suprem-
acy in controlling the political
bearing of the parish. The names
given the parish and the town
were distasteful to the white citi-
zens of the new parish of Grant,
and in the struggle for place and
power, much bitter feeling was en-
gendered. The struggle was long
and fierce, and finally eliminated
in what is known as the Colfax
riot. lido not propose to consider
the causes in detail that led to
that unfortunate affair, nor to pass
upon its merits or dement's
Suffice to say that it has given to
our town and parish rather a pub
lie as well as unenviable reputa-
ton, from which we are now,
Phoenix-ike, just emerging; and
we would ask from the public that
the mantel of charity be thrown
over our shortcomings, and that 8
liberal extension of time be allow.
ed us for reformation. To-day we
are reconstructed, social people
In no town within my knowledge
is there more good feeling or more
tolerance of opinion. Our people
meet and discuss the genera
topics of the day-political, agri
culture, and other subjects-just
as they did of yore, with no bit
terness or acrimony, and we are
in truth, a happy and prosperous
people. The tomahawk has beer
buried and we smoke the calumne
of peace, secure under the foliage
of our own vine and fig tree. 81

The Frenchman's Bow.

There are many theories on this
subject; there have been many
professors of the noble science of
salutation; there are, even in these
degenerated days, differences OF
opinion as to the exact nature and
ordination ofthe movements which
compose a bow; but the generally
adopted practice of the best mod
ern schools is after this wise -
When you meet a lady that you
know, you begin, four yards of,
by calmly raising your outside
arm, right or left, as the case may
be. There must be no PRECIPITATION
in the movement, and the arm
must be maintained at O short dis
lance from the body, with sort OF
roundness in its curve and motion;
that is, it must not come up too
direct, and especially not too fast.
When the hand arrives at the level
of the hat rim it must seize il
lightly, slightly, with about hall
the length of the fingers; it must
slowly lift the hat, and slowly
carry it out in the airto the fullest
length of the gradually extended
Strengthened arm, but not in front

Cure FOR SwEENY.- mot the ed
itor of the CHRONICLE, bear in
mind, as he is incurable. "We
always doctor the shoulder, if it
shows any sign of shrinking, in
the following way: Take q firm
hold of the skin at the top of the
shoulder-blade; draw it out well,
and then pass the small blade of q
pocket-knife through the skin, pen
etrating both skins. Then take
any stimulating liniment, or the
yolk of an egg and a tablespoonful
of salt; rub them together until
the salt is dissolved, and rub the
shoulder with it, using a corn-cob
to rub it in Nth, andin a few days
your horse will be WE'LL"
Now, We got the foregoing
from q good veterinary surgeon,
and have q strong belief in its eff
cacy; but if your horses are not
affected, We don't want you to try

thought such good subject.

aging; we have no cause of COM
plant; the husbandman sees in
his broad fields the prospects of
full reward for his labors; the
merchant looks forward with
bright anticipation in the future,
and all classes are jubilant over
the brilliant prospects of q rich
harvest. r.
The future of our town and par,
ish is, indeed, cheering. The
town of Colfax is located on the
magnificent estate of the late Mrs.
NJ. E. Calhoun, and now the prop
erty of her children. Mr.. w. s.
Calhoun and his sister, and no
where in the valley of Red River
is to be found more picturesque
or richer country. Every pro-
duct necessary to the sustenance
of man or beast, is grown in su-
perabundance, with the least ina
ginable labor, holding out rare
and unsurpassed inducements to
the agriculturist in quest of a good
home and with becoming hberality
none are sent away empty, who
desire to make their homes in this
parish. Lands are rented, capa-
BILE of producing from one to one
and half bales of cotton per acre,
and corn from thirty to forty bar
rels per acre, at the nominal sum
of from four to five dollars per
acre; and o cordial invitation is
extended to all who desire to Gull
tivate the soil, to cast their lots
with us.
The health of the country is un-
exceptional; the depleted pocket
books and tattered appearance Of
the disciples of Aesculapius speaks
in language too plain to be mis-
understood. That ours is empha-
tically q healthy country, two
seedy members Of Galilea hold on
to the legal horn of our dilemma,
and while they are engaged in
their dispositions, they are willing
to sever citizens. Unfortunately for
them, like Othello, their occupa-
ton is gone; and, if any, it is in
homeopathic doses that it neither
pays them or Injuries anyone else,
showing exclusively that we are
a law-abiding people.

describe O semi-circle on its road,
and reach the extreme limit of its
distance at the precise instant
when it has become upside down,
and the lining gazes ct the skies.
At the instant when the hat is
lifted from the head, the body be-
gins slightly to bend, the infec-
ton being so organized that the
full extent Of curving of the spine
shall be attained concurrently
with the greatest distance of the
hat. A slight respectful smile is
contemporaneously permitted to
flutter furtively about the corners
of the mouth. Then the hat comes
slowly sweeping back again, its
inward motion presenting the ex-
act inverse of its outward journey;
the back grows straight one more,
the smile disappears, the hat re-
sumes its accustomed place, the
bow is over, the face grows grave,
and you, the author of that noble
act, murmur within yourself, III
think I did that rather we'll" But
if the lady should stop to speak
to you (she alone can determine
whether the conversation can take
place out of doors), you remain
bare-headed; the arm is slowly
dropped till the now forgotten hat
hangs vacantly against the knee;
the back continues somewhat bent;
and when the talk is over-when,
with half courtesy and inclina-
ton of the head, the lady trips
away-the bending of the body
becomes more profound, the hat
starts off once more to the full
distance which the arm can cover,
but rsther lower attitude than
before, it executes o majestic ra-
dating sweep through space, and
then goes on to the haiq aud all is
over. Written descr9 zion rem
ders the whole process somewhat
absurd, but the impression is very
different when the act itself is
contemplated. Modern manners
offer scarcely any form of defer
ence SO grand, SO thorough, so
striking in it's effect, as a really
we'll executed bow. English peo-'
pie are rarely able to judge it
rightly, for their notices and prac-
tees on this subject take so differ

seems to them to ridiculously ex-
aggerate when he superbly waves
