The Ord Family,

A Washington letter in the Cincinnati
Enquirer gives the following:
During the late estates war" General
Ord drew his sword in favor of the Union.
Other members of his family drew no
swords, but many words in favor of the
Confederacy. To-day Colonel F. w. Ord,
of the Royal Artillery, is appointed to an
important command that may attract at
tention when England's arms are engaged.
am reminded to say that the Ord family
of America are the lineal descendants of
King George ". 1t comes in this way;
George ". legally and morally married
Mrs. Fitzherbert. By this marriage he
had one son. When this son was grown
up to ten years he was conveyed to Amer
lea by an appointed tutor of the king, q
Mr.. Ord, whose name he had always been
known by. In America the lad grew up
unknown and unknowing his origin.
When he became q man he married Miss
Cressup, and by this marriage had sons
who were christened by the singular
names of Atlanticus and Pacifcus Ord
the present General and his brother,
Judge Ord, in California. These gentle-
men never knew until years had passed
their royal origin, and, like wise and
modest men, never proclaimed it. Eng
land, her George ~, Pitt and Parliament,
will never be unknown for the foul denial
of that marriage being legal, resting their
arguments on the himsy basis that SO
king can not marry a commoner," though
the king be the commonest, as was the cas-
in this instance. The present family o.
Ord in England are Of the line Of The
above tutor, and in no way Of the loins o

Obituary.

A special dispatch from Versailles,
Kentucky, under date of May 20, to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, says:
"Ihis community was very much
startled by the announcement this morn
ing of the death of Major Harris H. John
ston. Major Johnston retired to his room
in the Versailles House apparently in
his usual good health, and requesting to
be called early this morning. About six
O'Clock this morning a servant called at
his room, and after trying for some time
to awake him, became alarmed and in
formed the proprietor, Major w. J. Sitt,
who placed ladder to the room window
and entered, when he found Major John
stone cold in death. A eoroner's jury
was Immediately impanneled, and rem
dered verdict of death from apoplexy.
The remains were taken late this evening
to Frankfort. He will be buried in Lou
isviile tomorrow evening"
The deceased was a native of this par
ish, having been born on the present
"Old Brown place." adjoining the fair
grounds, and was the son of Judge John
Harris johnson, SO long our parish judge
under Louisiana's first constitution, and
was nephew of DIR. j. P. Davidson, also
an old citizen of Rapides. The father of
the deceased was one of the three remark
able and talented brothers so well and
favorably known here in past days. We
allude to our former United States Sena-
tor, Josiah Stoddard Johnston, and the
late great Confederate commander, Cen
eral Albert Sydney Johnston. All of these
we knew in our young days, and remem-
Der well the deceased as a promising and
bright lad. Nearly all of that great family
have passed away, only two to our knowl-
edge being living. J. Stoddard Johnston,
the brother of the deceased, is the present
Secretary of Estate of Kentucky, and is a
prominent statesman of that State, re-
hecting honor on his Louisiana and his
honored parentage. Willie ]. Johnston,
a native of Rapides and now resident
of Philadelphia, grandson of the Sena.
tor, as also of the late Archie P. Williams,
of Willow Glen, is the other surviving
member of the illustrious family, the
death of whose kinsman we are called
upon to announce in these columns. =

Information Wanted by a Government
that Protects its Citizens.

The following is from the'Jackson, Mis-
sissippi, Times of May 80:
We learn from Washington that the
British minister has addressed q commu-
nication to Mr.. Evsrts, calling his atten-
ton to the fact that the Scotchman, Mr..
McLelland, one of the victims of the muir
derous affair at DeKalb, Mississippi, on
the twenty-ninth of April, was at the time
of his death a subject of Great Britain,
and requesting that the circumstances
connected with the killing of McLelland
be investigated, to the end that steps be
taken to bring the guilty parties to JUS
tice. The result of the British minister s
communication is, as we are advised, that
the Attorney General of the United States
has instructed the United States attorney
for the Southern district of Mississippi to
investigate the DeKalb tragedy and make
report of the facts of the case, especially
those relating to the killing Of MeLelland.
We are further advised that this inVesti-
cation will be entered upon without IN.
necessary delay, and we regard il as for
tunate that the duty is devolved on one Il
whom the government and the people ear
safely look Tor an impartial and truthful
report,

TIScr. MAGNEs1A. In Judge South
worths court yesterday one instance of
the rapacity Of advertising doctors and
the gullibiity of the public was shown in
q postofice case.
May 10, had feloniously opened letter
received through the mail, directed to
him at No. l78 Canal street, and taken
and converted to his own use SIS inclosed.
The defendant was sent befort the
United States Court on S2500 bonds,
which he furnished.
During the trial he offered in defense
statement that A. B. was indebted to him
and had passed over to him for collection
for his benefit the accounts OF some of his
''patients." The letter was received from
gentleman who had been one of these
unfortunates. In proof of this he pro-
duced B. g book, and, in substance, the
following entry: ...
-, age about fifty years. May
Is, 1877, has been treated by
DR.. -. Was to pay SIS; has paid $25;
was to pay DIR. B. $50; has paid So and
$3-$8. Balance due, $40.
And here is the prescription for which
the charge was SIS, and which the
patient was willing to pay quack who
had never seen him
''R. Tinct. magnesia eight drachms.
Take tablespoonful twice day."
Under date of May % is an entry of the
receipt of S. by letter.
SeVenty-fye dollars for eight drsehms
of magnesia! 1t is sufficient comment
airy to say that the prescription would
have as salutary effect on the disease OF
the patient as an emetic would on a
sprained ankle.
The public has been warned over and
over again to beware of advertising doc
tors, but they always find victims.

In what does nerve food consist? In
what do we find it? Is it meat2 No.
White bread? No. Potatoes? No. If
it is not found in these staples, in what is
it to be found? answer, in the exterior
of the white kernel, in the skin of the po-
to and in milk, partially also in eggs and
fish. 1 answer, the chief food staples in
the present dietetic system are almost en-
tirely deficient in brain and nerve build
ing material. In view of these facts, is it
a result to be wondered OF that the starv-
ing nervous tissue in the overworked
masses attempts to satisfy an intolerable
sense of craving, of physical hunger, by
the use of stimulating poisons that tenn
porarily supply the place Of brain and
nerve food9 l answer, the cause OF in
temperance is based upon fundamental
error in the present dietetic system. Let
it always be borne in mind that stimulat-
ing brain poisons- alcohol, opium and
tobacco-temporaril supply the place of
brain and nerve food. What is the RENE
dy for intemperanceP answer, nerve
food building material to supply the
waste Of the nervous tissue in the masses.
l answer further, a reform in the present
popular system of dietetics, by reducing
the proportion of fat and muscle forming
elements and increasing the nerve and
brain building material in proper ratio.
Let the supply in each case meet the de-
mand and no more.-Herdld Of Health.

THE BACK WATER.
From the Madison journal Of May 90.
Under date of May 20, DR.. T. j. Hard
ing writes tc as as follows: In your item
column You mention my place as being
now covered. had $50 10 800 ceres, out
of HOO acres of tillable land overlooked.
The back water in this region has fallen
eight inches, and has fallen two and a half
inches in the last twenty four hours. On
account of the vide openings in Ashton,
Bass and Diamond island levees, the back
water this season lacked only five inches
at my place of reaching that of last,
though the gauge at Vicksburg indicates
some two feet less water in the river. I.
hope the new State law may prove a more
efficient guardian of her subjects interests
than the Levee Company.
BAD BLOOD LETTING.
From the Baton Rouge Aduocate of
May %:
A sad rencounter occurred at Hope Villa
last Friday evening in which two men are
said to have been seriously wounded.
There are various and conflicting versions
of the affair, the substance of which when
boiled down seems to be about as follows:
Messrs. Ed. Phillips and Samuel Fields,
who reside in the parish of Ascension, and
between whom there appears to have been
existing an old teud, met at Hope Villa on
the evening of the day above mentioned
and got into an alteration, when Phillips
level ed o shotgun at Fields and Fields
KIN ocked the gun aside. Just as Fields
KIN ocked the gun aside it fred and the
load took effect in the breast of Mr.. Fred
Smizer, young man who resides at
Hope Villa, inhicting very serious if not
dangerous wounds. Fields then drew his
pistol and commenced firing upon Phil
lips, two shots taking effect, one in the
forehead and one in the left side. Phil
lips wounds are dangerous.
We learn from DIR. Brooks that the
facts above given of the rencounter are in
the main correct. Mr.. Phillips died last
evening, and Smizer is not expected to
live. Mr.. Fields surrendered voluntarily,
to the authorities.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.
From the Mansfield Reporter, May 10:

road, near Coushatts, while visiting a
patient during one of the dark nights
which preceded the present week. The
doctor was riding along the bank by tAe
side of colored man, when his horse

miles below, but his body had not been
