A REBUKE.-In a certain criminal
case recently tried before Judge
Woods, U. S. Circuit Court, the Jury
returned verdict of not guilty. The
next day Judge Woods ordered that
the Jury be assembled in the box,
and this having been done, he adj
dressed them as follows:
Members of Me Jwy:-The verdict
rendered by you yesterday, in the
case of the United States VS.. Ferd
Dudenhefer, was so extraordinary
that I cannot let it pass unnoticed.-
In all my experience in courts of
justice, running through period of
over twenty years, I have never
known verdict rendered so utterly
in defiance of the law and the evil
dence. I am satisfied that is impos.
sible to administer the law and to dis
pense justice eyenhanded with jury
capable Of rendering such a verdict.
l therefore order that you be dis.
charged from any further attendance
as jurors in this court.

Our PAcKET.-Amid the crush OF
steamboat worlds, and the wreck Of
steamboat matters, like the historic
bayleaf, the laurels fairly won of our
Packet are yet blooming green, and
change only when sinking. 1t mat

atty, how side show rackets disturb
outsiders, her withers are unwrung,
and as ever she is on hand and like
Ferguson and Schnack's time pieces
to the second and regularity itself
Our Bart. Able, under her present
and continued management and guild
ance, bIushingly wears her laurels,
bestowed by an appreciative public,
and she can we'll afford to bask in the
sunshine of their smiles, and never
for a moment to falter in the good
intent of her owner. She is of u.s.
with us, saluted and greeted her
Alexandria and Pineville home Mon
day morning with paying trip, and
goes down to day at noon with all the
freight in the cotton, sugar and mo-
lasses line ready for shipment and
the blue ribbond trip of the season in
the passenger line.

NOTHING DONE.

AS yet our Legislature has really
lone nothing in that reform line, and
as yet we are palsied and spellbound
by the iniquitious hand of Kellogg
radicalism, and riveted to inactivity
by the dulcet notes of the Wheeler
Adjustment.
It matters not that less than ten
working days are all that remain for
the good and promised work, still
that radicalism which forged our
chains, yet grins sarcasticly at their
continued mischief, and are reyeng-
fully determined to keep their hellish
flames still Kissing and blazing.
From our present standpoint one
would suppose that the entire body
of our Legislature, as we must call
it, are responsible for this derlliction
of duty, and that all should receive
alike our curses for their sins, but
such is far from the case or the true
situation. From close survey OF
the field operations all along the
whole line, and a careful study of the
skirmishing, we are satisfied, and
proud to be thus satisfied, that the
lower House, with its Democratic
Conservative majority, must be held
entirely blameless in the criminal
matter to which we again allude.
Not only have they come down nobly
to their work, and redeemed the
pledges made to their constituents,
but in every and all instances have
they gone as far as honorable men
could, to effect the desired changes
and the promised reform. But thus
far they have been rebuked, snubbed
and even jeered at by the negro-radi'
cal Senate and the de tacto Kellogg,
and instead of being met halfway on
the good road, every empediment and
obstacle which radical cunning and
ingenuity can invent or handle, have
been thrown in their path, and thus
the working time of the session has
been criminally triaed away.
%he Returning Board, of which the
entire decent people of Louisiana
know too we'll the baneful and cor.
rupt uses, and which we of Rapides
are eternally reminded when we know
who now misrepresents US in the
Senate, and who yet fungus-like dis,
graces us on the District Bench, is
vet and will continue to be the char.
mel banking house Of the infamous
party we have so often denounced in
these columns. 1t matters not tc
them what has been promised, what
wrongs they have committed, they
are even determined to the bitter end
to cling to their cheating bag. Still
again on Saturday the home organ
here of the Returning Board clings
to it's idol and bantling and swears
for the hundredth time that the ere
turning Board is necessity" Sc
! we 20, so we are bound hand ano
foot, and still there seems to be nc
remedy, no medicine for the sick pa
tient and he must die for want Of
such. We again notice this standing
iniquity as reminder to our people
of it's existence, and yet live and hope
in the good faith of that coming good
future.

ELSEWHERE all interested par
ties can find and peruse the card of
the steamer John B. Maude, splen-
did, large and magnificent steamboat,
under the command and in charge of
Captain John Helm, who made but
one trip with the Kate Kinney and
now replaces her by the steamer men
toned above. The cold man." whom
our people have cause to lovingly re-
member and who is still bound to his
people, as he delights in calling US,
transfers to the Democrat the full
authority to state and make public
that he is here for good, intends to
remain, keeping his day outside of
cold Dick Sinnott," to use his own
expressions, and in no ways fight him,
but will to the bitter end return blow
for blow to all outsiders placed along
side of him to cut down prices and
run him out of his old trade, fail
portion of which he is seeking to re.
gain. He wars not with the regular
Packet, believing in the system, but
can't be run out by the shoulder lift
ers of the Pool Line. We thus state
the old mans position and think he
can maintain himself on his line o.
duty. His boat will be here to-mor
row morning and goes down OF
Saturday.

SOMEBODY in the Second Ward,
on Monday, took advantage of the

ney to clear it, and some one else took

The growth and structure of the

in pamphlet, published by R. P.
Hall & Co., Nashua, New Hampshire,
proprietors of Halls Vegetable Sicil-
ian Hair Remover, for gratuitous dis
tribution. The deservedly high rep
utation of their preparation has been
gained wholly by its merits. Being
free from oil and alcohol, it has a
healthy action on the scalp, restoring
gray hair to its natural color without
dyeing it, cures itching of the scalp,
removes and prevents dandruff, and
will thicken up the thin locks. Such
are benefits which are conferred upon
the consumer. No one should neg
lect to give it trial. Journal s

LIVELY.

This is modest word for the
steamboat racket we have had here
last week, but we prefer using it to
a harsher one for the present. The
Pool Line, as usual, scented the war
whoop of old John Helm, beat the
long roll and went at him and his
John B. NIaude with one of their
chartered stern wheelers and all along
the line the two had good old fash
toned rough and tumble fight of it,
The truth of history, steamboat his
tory, however, forces us to admit and
record that the Pool Line struck the
old man foul and below the belt, but
only for a moment did he stagger;
he soon recovered and Richard-like
was soon himself aagin, and retired
from our wharf the Richmond of the
fight. This foul blow of the Pool
Line was three dollars a dozen
for the staple, half fare to her hash
dishes and other truck in proportion.
Above our town at Grand Ecore,
Natchitoches and coastwise, the cut
throat tariff of the Pool Line prevail
ed, also in Pineville, hut here in our
Town the old Heinn-er clutched the
blue ribbonds and got nearly all in
sight, at one dollar per bale and in
that proportion for other things. In
the passenger line, that commodity
was so scarce and few between on
both, that we failed to be able to
score the victor. Both left here Sun
day morning, crowding the mourn
ers, eager to reach the lower landings
to renew the fight. Take it all
around both had light trips after all,
and the head accountants won't be
troubled much to count the cash
profits. We may report final result,
time and condition of the parties in
our next, in the mean time we take
the Bart. Able and Mardi Gras in
ours.
LIFE INsURANcE.-The advantages
and protection offered by Life Insu-
rance is now so we'll understood and
appreciated by our readers, that it
appears almost useless for US to call
attention to the advertisement of the
Louisiana Equitable Life Insurance
Company, to be found in another col
umn. This is the only Company
chartered by the State of Louisiana,
consequently the funds of the Com
pany are invested at home and not
sent North and West, as in the case
of all other Life Companies working
in the South. This certainly should
induce the Southern people to patron
ize it, particularly as they have am
pie security and prompt payment
The Louisiana Equitable has been
eight years in operation and has paid
to widows and orphans over Three
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dol
lars. Its administration is composed
of prominent New Orleans merchants
and bankers, whose names and char
acters place the institution in the
most favorable position. John NJ.
Barrett, our Deputy Sheriff, is the
Agent for the Company-parties de-
string any information can address
him. DR.. James S. Fish is the Med.
ical Examiner.
