Louisiana Coal.
wv. La, Journal.)

According to the Harrisonburg
News, that section of Louisiana will
soon become a great coal market.
Near Danville. in 4tahou|a parish,
coal has been found u immense guam
titles and of a kind inferior to none.
Capt. Blanks, of the steamer John
Wilson, has tried some fifty boxes and
pronounces it very little inferior to
the best canal now in use. Means and
enterprise can soon make this a very
profitable industry.

RAIN IN THE HEART.

The following lines were found by a
Confederate soldier in deserted house
on the Peninsular, Virginia
"Into each heart some rain must fall
II this were ALL oh if this were all,
That into each life some rain must fall,
There were fainter sobs in the poet s
There were fewer wrecks on the shores
of time.
Bnt tempests of woe pass over the soul,
Since winds of anguish we cannot control,
And shock after shock we are called to
Till the lips are white with the hearts
despair.
The shores Of time with wrecks are strewn
Unto the ear comes ever q NOAH
Wrecks of hopes that set sail in glec.
Wrecks of love sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eye,
Only God knoweth how deeply they lie !:
Only God heard when arose the cry
''litlp NE to bear; OFT! help lie to die
Into each life some rain must fall
If this were all, oh if this were all.
Yet there refuge from storm and blast;
GLORIA Patrim we'll reach it at last.
"Be strong, be strong,' to my heart I'll
cry,
The pearl in the wounded shell doth lie ;
Days of sunshine are given to all,
Tho Unto each heart some rain must

Midsummer Madness.
Grant for q Third Term-HOw to Ex.
tinguish all Hope Of Republican
Success,
from Harper's Weekly.1

FROM HarperS Neekly.]
There is a sort of frantic despera.
ton in the tone in which Gen. Grants
nomination is urged. The drift Of the
articles is a plain confession that up.
90 him hangs the only chance Of the
Republican party; and that the
chance arises, not from the greater
wisdom of Republican pulley, but
FROM the dire extremity Of the conn.,
try. A more ridiculous strain cannot
be imagined. One of these papers
says that 1.-The sooner the necessity of
nominating Grant is generally recog~
nized, and the event is accepted as a
foregoue conclusion" the better for
the Republican party. Another says
that his call to the Presidency lis
believed to be essential t" the welfare
of the country" Mr.. Emory Storrs,
in the Illinois Convention, advoca-
ting, amid loud cheers, the nomina'
ton of Gen. Grant, said:
Tie laboriugman inquiries, Shall l
he permitted to labor without inter:
ference from mobs or mob v,olence7
Shall the wages of my labor he Sc
cnre? Is there in this country any
one man whom the nation can place
at the head of it's affairs who will
see to it, 90 far as he is concerned,
that in all these l may be secure I
All these lab"ringmen are asking
themselves this question, and they
have answered it. Property asks this
question. Capital If all kinds makes
tie inquiry. Nay, every good citi'
zen, each for himself, is revolving in
his mind to say, and has been for
mouths past, who is there of all others
10 this country who, placed at its
head, will see that the great essentials
Of life, liberty, property, the due e1'
ecut,on of all the laws, shall be pro-
| tected and carried out
All this is unmistakable. Gen
Grant is to be nominated, not, as the
representative of a policy of admin.
istration, but as q savior Of society
He is not to- carry out measures that
have been argued before the people
aud which have been approved by
them at the polls, but he is to protect
us against anarchy and impending
dissolution of social order. But it he

Death I'm His Fayorite Robe.

The mOrtuary statistics of the whole civil
lied world show that about One-fifth of all
mankind die of consumption alone and the
number Of deaths due to consumption bears a
greater ratio to the whole number than that
of any other three diseases together. More
. over, Investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing. Its increasing prevalence
has led to the popular belief that consumption
is incurable. Every year hundreds of these
sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats of Florida
or the dry atmosphere of Colorado, for health
and find only grave. The Influence of the
atmosphere the only remedial agent that either
Florida or Colorado can afford the coDsump-
tive--is at best only pailiatige The cure Of
consumption depends upon two essentialcon-
ditions: 1st the arrest of the abnormal break
ing down of the tissues, which prevents enact
alton, and "a, the restoration of healthy nutri
ton, in order to stop the formation Of tuber-
culOus matter. Fulfill these conditions, and
consumption is as. durable AS fever. q, Tofulfll
these conditions the rec uired remedy must in
crease the appetite, favor the assimilation Of
food. and enrich the blood, thus retarding the
development of tubercles. To accomplish this,
a more powerful Alternative than DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has never been dis
covered. At the same time, it soothes the iF-
rtatiOn of the nervous system produced by
violent coughing, which, in its turn so often
leads to more serious results. The use of sex
pectorantsn in consumption is absolutely sui
cidal. For while removing the tubercles al
ready formed, they produeeayet more serious
results by inflaming and destroying the sound
and healthy tissues. Consumption requires
remedy that wilsoothe while It relieves; harsh
medicines but add fuel to the fame that al
ready threatens to consume the system. The
Golden Medical Discovery fIlills these condi-
hons, and has been pronounced the best RENE
dy yet discovered to allay sud arrest consump-

Another marriage, which is worthy
of more than a passing notice, took
place yesterday, at point a few miles
this side Of Pleasant Plains. The par
ties to it were Mr.. Samuel Zirkle and
Miss Libbie Whitcomb, a school-teacher
Mr.. Zirkle took the southeastern-bOund
train at the Plains, and as it neared a
crossroad between there and this city,
he approached Conductor Merritt and
asked as an especial favor to a man
who was about taking one of the most
important steps in life, that he would
halt and let him off. The obliging
official complied with the request, and
Mr.. H., made 'bee linen for a little
situated a short distance
from he track. A minister was present,
according to previous arrangements,
and when Mr.. Zirkle entered Miss
Whitcomb called q halt in the duh
routine of proceedings in the school
room, laid aside her birch, and the two
stood up before the man of God, and
there, in the presence of the urchins,
solemnly pledged their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honors, or some
thing of that kind, one to the other.
The bride then repossessed herself of
her rod, called s'books,'' the groom
took his departure and ''dug OUT for
the Plains on foot, and business went
on again in that little country school
