FRENCH ECONOMY.-TheF French but.
cher separates the bones from his
steaks, and places them where they
will do the most good. The housewife
orders just enough for each person and
no mere, even to the coffee. If a
chance visitor drops in, somebody very
quietly retires and the extra cup is
provided, but nothing extra by care
lessness Of intention, when the little
range is extinguished, and waits for
another time. No roaring cook stoves
and red-hot covers all day long for no
purpose but waste. The egg laid to-
day costs little more than one laid
last week. Values are nicely estima-
ted, and the smallest surplus is care
fully saved. A Thousand little econo-
mics are practiced, and it is respectable
to practice them. Cooking is an eco.
nomical as we'll as sanitary and gusta-
tory science. A French cook will make

wife will make three, and how much

THE ffty-eight horse butchers in
Paris distributed to the population Of
that city 927l horses, asses and mules
during the past year, against 6,065 OF
these animals slaughtered in 1875. A
society, formed for the promotion of
the use Of horsefesh for food, awarded
a silver medal to the owner of the first
establishment opened for the sale of
that meat at Lyons, and a gold medal
for the proprietor of nine horse meat
shops in Paris. A sum of HOO francs
was also placed at the disposal of the
society by its founder, to be applied to
the encouragement ofany butcher who

ALEXANDRIA. La, J
April 3, 1871
FELLOW CITIZENS
The recent proclamation Of Governor
Nichols calls upon the patriotism Of the
people OF the State to sustain the gov
ernment of their choice, by giving ODE
dience to the laws and paying their
State and Parish taxes for the support
of his government. While we feel as
sured that the people Of Rapides will
cheerfully respond to the call, and will
not submit to or pay taxes to any other
officers but those who are appointed by
Governor Nichols, yet we deem fright
and proper that there should be grand
Mass Meeting of the people at this i'm
portant juncture of affairs, in order that
they may give proper expression Of
their intentions and views, and at the
same time give that public assurance to
Governor Nichols and our fellow-citi-
zens throughout the State, that we are
ready to make any and all sacrifices for
the establishing and maintaining of the
government of our choice. We there
fore urge upon every one who is friend
ly to the cause, to meet in the Town
of Alexandria, on SATURDAY next,
the 9TH 0fAPRIL, 1877.

There is r,lmOr on the street that six

The following, which We issued as an

and substance of Sturgis' report. 1t was
written Immediately after the battle, and

soldiers.
Official Dispatches received give the in
telligence that the Nez-Perces flanked Gen.
Sturgis and fled down the Clarks Fork
precipitately. Sturgis followed them two
days without rations and came upon them
on the Yellowstone, about seven miles be-
low Chrk's Fork, on Clark's Fork Bot

nearly all day. He reports that he cap-

CATTLE FREIGHT REDUCTION.

The freight rate on cattle from Odgen to
Chicago has just been reduced to $3.50 per
car: The trains to run as FAST as shippers
desire. Eighteen miles per hour is the
guaranteed time, with ample facilities at
convenient points for resting and feeding.
This brings Chicago into competition with
San Francisco on the drives that have
hitherto been made from Eastern Oregon,
Washington and Idaho; and will secure 10
this point and to the roads leading east
from here, the traffic that has hitherto gone
over the &. P. Il. r. from Winncmucca. 1t
will also cause a great many Of the Mon
tana cattle that, up to this time, have been
loaded on at Cheyenne, principally. to take
the cars at Ogden. This will be the means
Of throwing considerable money among
our business men. And it will render the
Of the stock yards here a

who have already decided to drive large
bands here for shipment.-Oqden Freeman.

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

This exhibition, held in the main OK.
hibition building, purchased from the Cen.
tennial Commission, is now in full blast.
Governors from several of the States and
| territories We're present at an appointed
day last month, and We're most cordial in
their endorsement of its plan, scope and
object.
The Bulletin Of the Exhibition says:
1.-The Company now offer merchants
from every part of the country, near and
distant, facilities such as were never before
presented, for the examination and COM
parlson of all the various styles and quail
tiles of manufactured goods. A day or
two spent there before making his pur-
chases will enable the shrewd. intelligent
buyer to enter the market at great adyan-
tagr. Comfortable and appropriate rooms
are now fitted up rs a sort of commercial
exchange, where buyer and seller can meet
where papers, samples, price lists, etc..
can be inspected and compared, and where
the stranger is invited to come at all times
anu feel himself perfectly at home.
1.-The assertion is unhesitatinciy made
that this is the largest, grandest. and most
complete Exhibition in the world. 1t I'M
qnestlonably has never in the worlds his
tory had any peer, except in the matchless
Centennial. Of whose wealth it is the nat
ural lnhcl''or. and of which it is the most
worthy successor. No less than thirty
eight States and Territories, Ill of the prin-
clpal foreign countries are represented in
this immense display, by over two thous-
ana exhibitors. Not estimating the Won I
ders OF art and nature slowed away in
Memorial and Horticultural Halls. which
are attractive adjuncts to the Exhibition
proper there are on constant display no :
less than twenty-one acres of varied and !
interesting exhibits, representing every de-
Dartment of art, science. education and in
llstry.
"Ihe management are now organizing {
grand National Fair, to take place in the Il
lrst half of November, and to follow hard
lpon the State Fairs, which are being held e
III over the country. A system of awards
vii ne adopted. arranged more with regard d
nigh value than to number. It is pro- y
'osed that the medals awarded shall rem "
esent the highest character which
an possibly be given to manufactured
GODS. In this Fair our whole people o.
mould be interested, and, if possible, lend Z
1eir attendance. The vast machinery set h
motion by the last Centennial has been tn
tilted for the present international Ex- h.
loiton, and, by adding, improving, and OF
Notifying where necessary, it has now be
'me to be entirely worthy of the new de-
irture our nation took on entering the W,
'cond century of its existence. The spread tic
asst is now ready for and entirely worthy da
its cordially-invited gnests.' OH

Maj. Benha,n, Com'd TT. Ellis:
/ enclose dispatch from Gen. Sturgis
, Yesterday and the day before Indians
came in and brought about one hundred
horses stolen from the NcZ Pcrces. They
reported the Indians retreating with great
rapidity down Clark's Fork, using up
their horses very fast and abandoning
them I'LL along their march.
Night before last it was reported that
the Indians encamped at Rouse's Point
and burned the houses there, but no fur
Their particulars.
AS soon as the horses came in, the Crow
Camp was wild with excitement, and in
addition to large number already at the
front, several hundred have gone to assist
Gen. Sturgis.
urged all to go that could be spared
from their herds, and with this addition
and the River Crows already in the front
it would seem that the Nez Perces would
have hard time Of it. will add that on
Tuesday the Crows found Il wounded man |
in the foothills about twenty miles from
the Agency. He, with four other men
were bringing in a wounded man from
Gen. Sturgis' camp, when they were at
tackled by some IS Ncz Perces, who had
thanked Gen. Stllrgis, and all the party
killed except the wounded man and the one
who escaped and was found by the In
dams. The latter was wounded by a gun
shot through the arm.
AS you see there is no date to my dis
patch, but two Indians say the fight was
il Canyon Creek. little beyond Eouse's
Point. +
am sure that the Crows will harass the Il
Scz Pcrces and get large numbers Of their
ponies, and if Gen. Stlrgis is not too /

LETTER FROM MARIE.

WASHINGTON, d. g., August %, 1877
When the regular army of the country
was organized, after the war, Congress
provided that four regiments, two Of In
f'ntry and two Of Cavalry, should be
composed exclusively of colOred men.
Repeated efforts have since been made for
the disbanding Of these regiments and the
distribution of the cOlOred soldiers among
all military service, but without avail and
the matter has of late been brought promi-
nently to the notice of the Presidant and
Secretary of War, McCrary Although
there is no existing law prohibiting the
assignment Of cOlored recruits to any
regiment in the service, yet it has always
been the practice to assign them to the four
original colored regiments. The COM
plants now being made are made by the
white officers Of these regiments, and are
well worthy of attention. Because the
colored men are less susceptible to the evil
effects Of the extreme heat, these regiments.
have been continually kept on duty along
the Rio Grande, from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Pacific, while other regiments are
transferred from one point to another
