Organic w eakness

Immediately cured and full vigor restored.
This distressing affection which renders life
miserable and marriage impossibIe-is the pen
atty paid by the victims of improper indulgence.
Young persons too apt to commit excesses
from not being aware of the dreadful conse--
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands this subject will pretend to deny that the
power of prOcreutiOn is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits than by the pru-
dent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of
healthy ohspringS the most serious and destruct-
i've symptoms OF both body and mind arise. The

How TO Make n Paper.

Some people estimate the ability Of a
newspaper by tho quality Of original
matter. 1t is comparatively m easy
matter for a frothy writer to pour out
daily column Of words-words upon
any and all subjects. Ills ideas may
flow in ono weak, washy, eYerl astirs

may enable him to string them TO-
gother like bun ohcs Of onions. aad set
his paper may be poor and mcagrs
concern. Indeed, tho mere writing
part OF editing paper is but small
portion Of tho work. The care, The
,iulo employed in selecting, is far moro
important, and tho tact Of good edi
tor is better shown By his selections
than anything else; and that, WO
know, is half tho battle. But, as wO
havo sail, ap editor ought to bc csti.

Farnl Life.

1t Is a common complaint that The

THE AMENDMENTS.

In their anxiety to vote the solid Demo
cratic ticket to-day voters should not forget
to vote Against the Amendments" Let
them remember that they are the result OF q
compromise in the last Legislature, between
the Democrats who represented the people
and the various monopolies for which q con-
vention means nothing short of absolute
destruction.
Except upon the first of these amendments,
it is only necessary to specify each amend
ment on the ticket voted by its number,
and mark opposite 1t, Against the Amend
ment" Some people contend that the alter
native Is offered of voting "For" some OF
them; but these people belong to class that
as O. rule, don't know what they are talking
about. II the free and untramrneled Amer
lean voter wishes his vote to count for any
thing, there is but one way to accomplish
his desires, and that is by voting simply,
Against the Amendment" in every instance,
except that of the first. Upon that amend
ment, the correct vote, techinallY, is as fol-
lows, to wit: "FoR Amendment No l. For
State Capital, New Orleans
We DO not admit that the first part OF this
formula is saclamental, and the practical
effect Of such q construction would be the
throwing out of nine-tenths Of the votes In
the State, for the simple reason that very few
people are accurately informed as to the
formula prescribed for voting on this ques-

THE SCHEME FOR THE CAPTURE OF
LOUISIANA.

The grand object Of the fraudulent admin
istration at Washington, for months past, has
been the capture of Louisiana. 1t Is upon the
gross and damnable frauds perpetrated in
this State by the Returning Board that
Hayes title rests. Those frauds and that title
the Judgment of mankind has condemned and
denounced. To reverse that condemnation
and denunciaton it is necessary that the first
election in this State after that Of 1876, which
was falsfied by the Returning Board, should
be carried, If not openly by the Radicals, then
by them covertly against the Democratic par
ty. In furtherance Of this everything purpose
of the minstration the anti Democratic can
vass here has been organized in Washington
and organized with great craft, ingenuity and
knowledge of the weaknesses OF human nature,
Early in the season number of factions were
inaugurated, each appealing to some powerful
prejudice or delusion of the populace-none
to the reason and patriotism of the people.
In all of these factions wesf find present the
unifying principle or power-Radcalism.
l. Notwithstanding the hard money policy OF
the Hayes administration, the Republican
