Nervous Esrostration.

Americans, like Ortogral of Basra, desire
that the golden stream should be sudden
and violent, and in their anxiety to acquire
wealth, overwhelm themselves with the
cares of business, until their oyertaxed sys-
TENS are broken down under the pressure to
which they are subjected. This is one pro-
life cause of nervous diseases so common in
this country. Another and probably agreater
one is the very general propensity to run
into excess in excitement and the use of
Liquors and Tobacco, which soon ruin the
strongest nervous organizations. Such suf-
erers have more difficulty in obtaining re-
lief than almost any other class. DR.. RAD
CLIFFS SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN WONDER
is sovereign remedy for all nervous aztec
tions, no matter how they were incurred.
The worst eases of nervous debility have
been cured with singular rapidity by it's use.
The SEVEN SEALS is purely vegetable COM
pound containing no poisonous or unwhole-
some ingredients, and aets directly upon the
nervous system.

We are called upon to record the
death of another good man, who has
been called from the busy scenes OF
this earth to another and better world
Rev, William NJ. Daily, D. D., LII p,
one of the presiding elders OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church In tins
State. died at his residence in this
city on Monday evening, after an III
ness of but little more than week.
DR.. Daily has been engaged In the
Methodist ministry for more than fo:ty
wears, He graduated in the college
course to the degree OF A. b. In the
Indiana State University IN $3.50.
subsequently he received the addi-
tienaI degree of A. NJ. while stationed
in ST. Louis from three different col
leges. Indiana University, Augusta
! kentucky College and MchendIee
| College, Illinois. This happened IN
1899. In the fall OF l849 he was elected
professor of clocution in st. Charles
College, Missouri. The degree OF
doctor of divinity was conferred upon
him by his old preceptor, Rev. Phil
ander Wiley, president of his dtma
mater. Indiana, in 1851. DIR. Wiley
died in 1853 and Dr. Daily was called
to succeed him as president of the In
diana University. During his presi-
dency the university building burned
down, but q fine new edifice was soon
after constructed, and the number OF
students increased from eighty to over
four hundred. In 1859 he resigned
the presidency and retired to his home
in Madison.
At the breaking ont of the rebellion
he gave all active support to the gov
eminent, though his political sympa-
thies were Democratic. de was what
was known at the time as War Dem
ocrat. In about 1865 or 1866 he came
South. and was for two OF three years
employed as a special agent of the
postal service. Subsequently he was
engaged in missionary work here for
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Since
1871 he has been presiding elder. in
the Louisiana Conference for the
parishes on the river above the city
a. high up as Bayou Sara. His field
was a most laborious one, in which
lhe encountered difficulties enough to
appal a less courageous and energetic
man. His was constant struggle
with the poverty. Ignorance and pre-
JUDGE of the people to whom he was
: assigned, and he sometimes was al
' most ilisheartened. He found the col.
ored people kind, affectionate ane
willing TO do all within their power
: but they were poor and unlettered
and entirely unable to defray ever
the simple expenses of their severa
churches.
DR.. Daily was sixty-fve years o
. age at the time of his death, am
leaves a wife and several grown al
!. children to mourn bis loss. His char
acter may be briefly summed up. ii
n was brave, energetic, pious, strict!
honorable man, one whom difficult
could never swerve from duty, an
withal had heart full of love an
n charity for all.

SABBATH LAw.-We may be wrong,
but our impression is that Louisiana
is the ouly enlightened State in the
world that does not require the sus-
pension of all business on the Chris

sion; and We also hope 10 see our
