the anti Rowe man kicks up rowe and
takes away his press, ard when the un-

times and places, which I viii have to
throw together in as much shape as pos

ruled by Governor and council appoint

Hon. w. FL. Scanland, our Demo
cratic candidate for State Senator,
spent a day or two in our town this
week. He is canvassing in the in
terest of the ticket, as well as ac-
quainting himself with the people
whom he is to represent. His Der.
sonal acquaintance, his intelligent
and practical views of the situation
coupled with knowledge of what
he has been in the past, only war
rant US to emphasize what we have
already said in our paper in his in.
terest. We may add that our peo.
pie are pleased at having met their
nominee, and are naturally more in
terested in his election. If there be
a deserter in our Parish it is he who
will fail to vote through dire neeli-
gence and not from any disposition
to vote against the nominee. We
are authorized to promise our read.
ers that they shall hear from Mr..
Scanland before the election. But
Whatever be the odds he will be
slected, no doubt, by the largest
majority ever given in this District.

Gen. John B. Magruder.
by Major Edwards, of Missouri.

by MAJOR EuWdruS, VI MlSSOufl
Magruder sleeps the sleep of
a soldier in rude Texas grave,
over which there is no monu,
ment. The grass was growing
about it in the early Summer,
and there were some flowers
there. withered and faded, scat
tered by a woman's hand.
Magruder was a wonderful
man. He stood six feet four in
height, and had a frame men
envied and women adored. His
nerves were as of iron. Foreign
travel and comprehensive cul-
ture had given to his wit a zest
that was always crisp and
sparkling. He never lacerated
to the sting of repartee he
added the honey of clover. He
could fight all day and frolic all
night. In the morning a glass
of brandy and a strong cigar
renewed his strength and caused
the cup of his youth to run over
with the precious wine of health
and spirits. He loved .magniti
cent uniforms, magnificent hor-
ses, magnificent riders. and mag
niticent women. Gifted and
graceful in conversation, he was
a pet in the boudoir and a logi-
clan in the barracks. He had
studied French in Paris, Italian
in Rome, and Spanish in the
halls of the Montezumas. His
horsemanship was of the English
kind, that is to say, not grace
full, but impossible to be sur
passed for firm riding and endu-
rance. He wrote little love
songs that We're set to music.
One of them. "Imogene," had in
it the plaintive melody of a
lover. and the sad rhythm OF
burial bugles. In the Crimea
he astonished the French officers
by sleeping at the front with Il
chasseurs under fire. In Mexico
he sent back to the Arch bishop
a lady's perfumed glove he had
found in the palace when the
city was won, and with it note
which read: 1T is pretty enough
to have belonged to a queen
Would she have pardoned me
if ] had appropriated it?"
AS the Archbishop sent hin

HARVARD AND YALE.

New LONDON, June 27.-Harvard and
\ ale boat race has attracted an immense
crowd to the city and the streets especially
IN the neighbofhood Of hotels, presented
an animated appearance this morning with
throngs of collegians wearing the colors OF
their respective colleges. Great numbers
from a distance arrived this morning by
steam boat ard train, while the people Of
the neighbOring country poured into the
city by every conveyance.
At l. O'Clock the time appointed for
the race to begin, the water was smooth
and continued so until half past IL, but
still DO start, At l2l1 the start was
effected.
At LAO the Yale s pulled out into the
stream, and at ll:5l drew up to the buoy
which was nearest west o0 the right bank
amidst shouts of the Yale men on nearing
the stand, and there waited fully Is min-
utes for the Harvard, which did not gel
afOat before noon, TO draw into line. al

ent before three quarters of mile haC
been passed Harvard was from three t
four lengths ahead pulling uniform
stroke. while ale was making 81 and ve!!
ragged.
! Just before the navy yard half dlstaDc
was reached, \ ale was three lengths be
hind, both crews pulling even 81 strokes
the three mile point was passed with Har
vard increasing her lead having raised he
stroke to Sc. Yale was now hopeless
behind from to 6 lengths, and still pull
ing "a strokes. On the last part Of tn
J last mile the Harvard crew, which evident
y had much reserve strength, made
spurt and easily increased their lead pass
ing the line from ten to twelve length
ahead. Yale pluckily pulled through tn
race until across the line.
: The official time is Harvard 20:44, a
l2l.29. Both crews were heartily cheere
bv the thousands on the river banks, an
guns were fired and steam whis les suunl
ed. A large excursion boat from Ne
York ran into the press boat whIch carene
so much that il was feared she would e
over. and many !eaped on board the largi
boat.
The Yale men were much chagrlne
because Of the almost disastrous defeat
their representatives, but faulty stroh
bandicapped them from the start.

medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
Of Consumption than any other remedy known to
the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Oher
remedses advertised cures for Consumpl ion,
probably contain opium, which is q somewhat dan
eerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
cousumptive patients, 1t must do great injury; for
ITS tendency is to conne the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make cure impos-
sible Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain particle of opium; it is composed
OF powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver. stomach, and blood, and thus correct
all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the oily means
by which Consumption can be cured, and AZ
SchenCks Pnlmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which OPP
crate in this way, it is obvious that they are th'
only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption
Each bottle of this invaluable mtdicine is accom-
