EVERLASTING THE ENERGIES.

EVERLASTING THE ENERGIES
1t is not advisable for any of us to over
task our energies, corporeal or mental,
but in the eager pursuit of wealth or fame
or knowledge, how mauy transgress this
salutary rule. It must be a matter of
great importance to all who do so to
know bow they can regain the vigor so
recklessly expended. The remedy is
neither costly or dificrlt to obtain. Hos-
letters Stomach Bitters is procurable in
every city, town and settlement in Ameri-
ca, and it compensates for a drain of
bodily or mental energy more %effectually
than any invigorant eve prescribed or
advertised. Laboring men, athletes. stu
dents, journalists, lawyers, clergymep.
physicians, all bear testimony to its won
drously renovating powers. 1t increases
the capabilities for undergoing fatigue,
and counteracts the injurious effects upon
the system Of exposure, sedentary habits,
unhealthy or wearying avocations, or an
insalubrious climate, aud is a prime al
tentative, diuletic and blood depurent.

Plaquemine, lberville parish,
has established a rigid quarantine
against all points supposed to be
infected with yellow fever. How
ever the precaution proves una
vailing and the disease has made
its appearance in a fatal FORM
Hyams, Of the Sugar Planter COM
menting on the affair, says:
There has been so much talk
about quarantine and so much of
it done where there was no actual
necessity for it, so much fear of
the fever, that CONSERVATION seems
to pervade all classes of society
throughout the country. Expert
ence has demonstrated that the
greatest preventative against
fever, and fact all malarial diseas.
es,'is cleanliness of person and
precincts, and if these two points
are carefully attended to, the
chances are decidedly against the
disease. But when a panic takes
possession Of a community or an
individual there is no such thing
as providing against consequences.
Fear kills a great many people
but filthiness kills a great many
more. This simple lesson is never
learnt, though time has been try
ing to teach it many years."

Major Burke and the Inter-OCean.

Just before the assembling of
the Democratic Conservative Con
vention at Baton Rouge there ap-
peared in the columns Of the
Chicago Inter- Ocean Zone Of the
most violent and rabid Radical
sheets published) an article from
the pen of its New Orleans cor
respondent, making very grave
charges against Major e. A. Burke
our candidate for State Treasurer.
TIE DerriM South Of the l7th
inst, contains an able communi'
cation and a lengthy editorial on
the subject. Our Iberville,
friends are some what astonished
that the New Orleans Democrat
has not refnted these charges
since it is not unreasonable to
suppose that they have fallen TN.
der its notice. They consider it
useless to say that the Inter- Ocean
is a vilifying, slanderous sheet,
and no one places any credence in
what it says. There are many
doubters in the land, ana men are
prone to believe the evil that is
said Of US rather than the good"
They request the State Execu-
tive Committee to make a thorough
investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against him, for they de.
clare that the standard bearer OF
the party must be like Caesars
wife, mot only virtuous, but
above suspicion"
The charges evidently have
made some impression upon the
people of that parish, for the
Editor says IAN investigation
must be had Immediately, and
the biography and antecedents Of
our nominee published, so that he
may appear unsrotted and I'm.
tanned in character. We are a
friend of Major Burke and we are
most anxious to see him elected,
and for his sake, as well as for
the fair fame Of our party, we
join with our correspondent in
making this demand"
And he goes on to say that
none but men of the highest in.
tegrity are placed in nomination
by the Democracy of Louisiana,
and if it should be the case that
Major Burke is an exception to
this rule, we will have none of
him and tear his name from the
mast head Of our paper where we
have SO willingly and cheerfully
placed it." ...

ulotIlCt publish lue
and address of Col W. L. Lari-
more, of East Baton Rouge, who
is in the field as an Independent
candidate for congressional
honors. We suppose the gen
tleman is honest in his intentions
but we consider his undertaking
a most hopeless and thankless one.
During the present election the
Radicals will endeavor by all
means within their power to
defeat and undermine the Dem
.ocracy /; for they know full we'll
that their party in this State will
soon be buried beyond all hopes
of a resurrection. Unless a can.
didate is peculiarly Objectionable
or odious it is the sacred duty Of
every democrat to stand by the
nominee. Mr.. Ed. Robertson, the
present incumbent and nominee
from that district has given sat
isfaction, and it behooves the
Democracy ofthe District to give
him their cordial and undivided
support. Mr.. Larimore has a
theory in regard to the levees on
the Mississippi river, and pro-
pose to have them kept up by
the National Government !; and we
notice that Gen. J. Floyd King Of
the Fifth District holds a similar
hypothesis. This is all very nice
to talk about and reads we'll on
paper, and we can't imagine a
better hobby to ride into Congress
But the question is "can it
be done 2" No! and any one
from Louisiana-or any other
State-who sets out with the idea
of going to Congress and becom-
ing the big dog Of the lanyard
will discover that he has been
badly fooled. The Union is full
of men who imagine they could
manage the Kingdom Of Heaven
if the job was only turned over
to them and when one of them, by
chance, gets elected to Congress
he is pretty much like the fellow
from the Western part Of Ohio,
who had sufficiently impressed his
co%untrymen with the necessity Of
sending him to the Honse OF
Representatives. Our man being
accorded his seat watched the
proceedings with much interest.
1t beat all the debating society
discussions, and backwoods loren
sic efforts he ever listened to-.
But as he had been sent there
to talk he concluded he must
pitch, in and accordingly when
the Navy Appropriation Bill
was before the House, our hero
from the Buckeye State rose in
all his primeval majesty to pour
forth his torrent Of burning elo-
quence. Mister speek-ah."
"The gentleman from Ohio"
replied the chairman. "Mis-ter
speek-ah," chimed back our
friend. THE gentleman from
Ohio" said the speaker, smiling.
At this the members began to
litter, and growing red in the
face he blnrted out in despair,
mister speek-ah :" and as that
functionary gently responded
"the gentleman from Ohio" he
turned to a member at his side
and asking in a semi-audible tone
Il say, Harris, do you know where
/ can rent a knot-hole for a
fortnight 2" took his seat amid
outrageous bursts Of laughter from
the members and yells Of the au-

wisely remained there during the
remainder of the session. And
so it will be with any chap from

work wonders. He will soon dis.
cover that there is a vast difference
