HONOR FROM EUROPE. It sconced ed on all sides that Dr. Ayers Pills are above compari- son with other medicines. Uniting the best clements known to the chemist they are par ticularly effective against the numerous stom- achic disorders for which they are recommend ed as a cure. These Pills are SO mild, yet searching, that they are often prescribed by doctors who otherwise do not favor patent medicines. Indeed, with the fruits of Dr. Ayers genius in the shape of Pills, Sarsaparil- la, Ague Cure and Cherry Pectoral, one might with impunity travel through the swamps of tropical America, or follow Stanley on his travels through the interior of Africa.

The Irish Home Rule party seems much broken up. It is an organization from which we could never foresee much good. The Irish race suffered great wrongsfrom England, but we doubt whether they will find separation the true remedy for the evils they still suffer. Those evils are shared by the peasantry of England and Scotland, and are the result of domination of rich over poor, rather than of any tyranny of race over race.

Will the new city council look after
the horned cattle that make their beds
at night on the sidewalks Every
gentleman of experience knows that a
COW in bed is not an easy obstacle to
walk over. Surmount her rear, and
then there is the horns. Try the horns
first, and there is case of the stomach
ache, if not something worse. A COW
on the sidewalk, of a dark night, is a
very serious thing to encounter. And
it is also annoying, next day, to en-
counter her tracks and the like. True,
the street is wide enough to go around
the beast, and keep ones skirts clear
and keep down profanity, but we must
insist upon clear, clean Sidewalks, no
matter what be the cost of milk or
beef. The COW nuisance should be
abated, and can easily be done by COM
pelling owners of cattle to keep them
in enclosures at night.

Crops and Weather.

Corn has been planted and replanted
as many as four times in places, but
the cut worm, bud worm and chintz
bug have met it so persistent1y and
destructively that it is apparent from
the best information we can gather
that the prospects are hardly half so
good as last year; but the increased
acreage justifies the hope that there
will be at least sufficient yield for
home consumption.
Cotton is good, and i'll stand, vigor
and size of plant will compare favor
ably with preceding years. The
weather has been cold from day to day
for the last ten days, and the growth
has been checked if not stunted. Lice
will be apt to follow. No one can an
ticipate the many dangers that hang
over cotton, but from present indlca-
tions the planter seems to have good
ground to hope for an abundant har-
vest. But apprehensions of the cater
pillar, owing to the mild winter, are
not without good reason.

Silk Manufacture.

Mr.. J. H. Milling has handed us a
skein of sewing silk (white) as pretty
as any we have ever seen, and the
wonder with us is that it was manu-
factured in Lincoln parish by Mrs.
Grant who rears the silk worm and
spun the silk from the cocoons of worms
fed by her. The silk is glossy, evenly
spun and a single thread would hold a
large trout. Mrs. Grant deserves great
credit for her industry and energy.
She has convincing evidence that Lou
isiana is silk producing country.
