ON election day. The republicans
ariU register, and sote too--eoery
man of them. They are organized
and united. They know 1t Is their
only hope OF success. They know,
too, themecessity'ofuni0n, and they
never throw their votes carelessiy
around among candidates for the
same office. They never have two
candidates for the same Office. They
vote straight ticket, with the lew
est possible exceptions.
We have not to 90 far for an Ill
/ lustration of the necessity of party
union. ST. Landry is a democratic
parish. Indeed it is claimed that
at the last election she polled a heo-
pier democratic Uote than any other
country parish IN the State. The
republican vote of st. Landry was
in fearful minority, but 1t acas a
solid uote. The heuvy democratic
vote of St. Landry was split up
among two sets of democratic Cum
didates, and the republicans quietly
walked up 10 the polls as one man,
anil elected three ont Of fo'tr 7'epre-
sentatitues IN tie State legislature, and
the parish Recorder. SO much for
bringing out a full VOTE" and
parcelIiug out the democratic por-
ton of it among rival democratic
candidates.
The purpose of this article, how
ever, is not 80 much to show the
necessity of democratic Organizes
ton and unity, aud the evils of H.
dependent candidates., as to show
the necessity of full registration
of democratic voters. We desire
to impress ON the mind of every
democrat, lii town and country, the
serious truth that a heavier respon-
sibility rests upon him now than
ever before; and that if he fails,
for any cause whatever, short OF a
physical impossibility, to register,
and thereby to become a voter, he
will be personally responsible, if
his party is defeated, for the meal
culable horrors of restoration OF
the republican party to power in
Louisiana. The requirement OF
registration is the most infamous
feature of our State constitution,
and is one of the strongest argu-
meuts in favor Of O neweonstitution.
lit is a badge of servitude which we
are compelled to wear at the be-
hest Of the republican party under
whose domination the constitution
was framed aud adopted. There
is no more necessity for it, except
ln large cities, (where there would
be danger OF q man voting The
same day at different polling
places. than there is for man
going bare-headed on election day;
and if the people OF Louisiana elect
men to the next senate and house
of rerr sentatives who will repre-
sent the real interests of the peo-
pie, the latter, In the country pre-
cinets at least, will not again be
compelled to be Registered to emit
tie them to vote. Until then, how
ever, we must register or we can
not vote at all !; and in the name OF
everything sacred and honorable !;
fer the sake of relief from the ex-
travagant expenditure and eonse-
quent rpinous taxation which will
surely mark a republican State
government; and for the sake ,o1
reform 10 the national government

A Deb alta BILE RuestIOn.

While much has been written concerning
the use OF "put up" medicines, the ques.
ton Is still IN open one, and demands OF
the people a careful consideration. The sa-
lient points may be briefly stated and an.
swefed as follows: lst-Are the sick cap able
Of determining their real condition, the ma.
ture of their malsdy, and selecting the pro-
per remedy or means of cure? 2nd-Can q
physician, no matter how skillful, prepare u
universal remedy adapted to the peculiar
ailments OF a large class of people, residing
in different ATTITUDES, and subject to various
climatic influences? In answer TO the first
proposition, we would say, diseases are
named or known by certain signs" or symp.
tons, and, as the mother does not need a
physician to tell her that her child has Il
whOOping.cOugh, or indicate q remedy, so
people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms concOmitant to " impure blood"
"torpid liver" and "bad digestion" require
no other knowledge Of their condition, or
the remedy indicated, than they already
possess. Second proposition Many physi.
clans argue that diseases are sectionally pc.
culiar, and their treatment must therefore
vary, aud yet quinine, morphine, podOphyl-
lin and hundreds of other remedies are pre-
Scrlbed, IN all countries, to overcome GERS

rience has made him familiar with The

liver complaint, dyspepsia, consumption,
and ~catarrh, can prepare a series of reme-
dies exactly adapted to meet the conditions
manifest, wherever, and by whatever means
it may have been engendered? The family
medicines prepared by X. V. Pierce, NJ. d.,

ments. Many physicians prescribe them in

FEW men who handle horses give prop
81 attention to the feet and legs. Espe-
cially.'is this the case on farms. Much
time IL spent of a morning in rubbing,
brushing and smoothing the hair on the
sides and hips, but at no time are the
feet examined and properly cared for.
Now, be it known that the feet of q horse
more care than the body. They
need ten times as much, for in one respect
they are almost the entire horse. All
the grooming that can be done won't
avail anything If the horse is forced to
stand where his feet will be filthy. In
This case the feet will become disordered,
and then the legs will get badly out Of
Tx, and with bad feet and bad legs there
is not much else of the horse fit TOR any
thing.
The horses which bring the highest
prize in New York are those large

for this form of driving. They must be

but other colors are in demand.
These "park teams" as the name I'M
plies, are for driving in the park, where
every afternoon they may be seen by the
hundreds pranc,ng along with lofty step
and snowy style. They are not wanted
for speed but for display. Fast driving
is prohibited in the park, but out on the

is called the "English style" There
are two forms, one to cut the hair just
below the bone, and the other to cut it

Some of the most elegant teams are not
bobbed after this fashion, but wear their
tails AZ long AZ they chance to grow.

FROZEN plants, says the American Ag.
ricuIturalist,s will often recover IF taken
to a room where the temperature is just
above the freezing, and allowed to thaw
very gradually. The change to n very
warm room would be very injurious.
FARMERS should have a diversity OF
crops, so that if there is a failure in one
there may be a hit in another. The in
telligent farmer lays his plans ~ much as
does the military leader. lie looks ahead

he don't put all the eggs under one hen,
for she might leave tho nest and all
would be added. Farmers should plan
wisely and carry ont their plans to the
best OF their ability.
A WRITER in the Practical Farmer
says he kept his young orchard well cul-
tiyated with hOed crops for several years.
Tney grew eighteen inches to two feet in
Il season. Only n tree died. A neigh
Dor set out an orchard ut the same time,
and seeded it 10 grass. In three years
one-third of the trees were dea i, and
those which lived grew only from two to
six inches in a year, This is about the
usual experience.

Did any enfeebled human being ever be.
come strong under the operation of powerful
cathartics or saliyants? II is sometimes
necessary to regulate the bowels, but that
cannot be done by active purgation, which
exhausts the vial forces and serves no good
purpose whatever. The only true way 10
promote health and vigor, which are essential
to regularity of the organic functions, is to
invigorate, discipline and purify the system
at the saple time. The extraordinary efficacy
in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in cases of
debility or irregularity of the organs of di.
g%estion, assimilation, secretion and discharge,
is universally admitted. Appetite, good
digestion, Il regular habit of body, active
circulation Of the blood, and purity of all

REASONS why the agricultural colleges OF

those institutions do not consider manual
labor necessary aye! many think il
adverse to liberty and justice 10 compel
