The STEPPING STONE TO HEALTH.
The acquisition of vital energy is thu
stepping stone to health. When the sys.
tenn lacks vitality, the various organs flag
in their duty, becomes chemically irregu-
lar, and disease is eventually instituted.
To prevent this unhappy state of things,
the debilitated system should be built up
by the use Of that inimitable tonic, Hos
letters Stomach Ditters which invigorates
the digestive organs, and insures the thor
ough c~onve:sI5n of food into blood of a
nourlshig6s quality, from whence every
MUSCLE erv- and fiber acquire unwonted
sups%s of vigor, and the whole system
x|eriences the beneficial effect. Appe-
TIE returns, the system is refreshed by
.healthtul slumber, the nerves grow strong
and calm, the dependency begotten OF
chronic indigestion and an uncertain state
OF health disappears, and that saliow ap-
pearance Of the skin peculiar to habitual
Invalids, and persons deficient in vital
energy, is replaced by a more becoming
tinge.

HaT "Apd the cry is still they
come" and they do not stand
upon the order of their coming,
either, but they flock in from all
directions. From the orange
groves of Lake Arthur, the sugar
plantations of Vermilion Bayou.
the cotton patches of Coulee
Kinney, the classic shades Of Able
vile, the unsophisticated regions
of the Estate of Queue Torture
the sylvan gladcs Of Bayou Tigre,
the marshes Of Praire Greig and
the Swamps Of Crosse Isle, comes
one grand, soul-stirring, appeal for
a seat in the Legislative halls of
the State. As Vermilion parish
is only entitled to one represen.
t~ative, according to the apportion.
ment of 1878, we think a few of
these aspirants will be gently pre-
vailed upon, to retire to the quie,
walks of private life by a sym
pathizing constituency.

Capt. Frank R. King, indie
pendent candidate for the State
Senate from this district, arrived
here last Monday evening from
his pleasure trip to Blount
Springs, Ala, and we suppose
will soon begin the canvass of the
district. He is in fine spirits and
health, and intends to whoop
things up around here and make
it quite lively if not interesting
for some Of our politicians who do
not cherish ally remarkable love for
him. Of course, he is quite sap.
guine of success and confidently
expects to carry this parish and
st. Mary by a large majority.
St. Mary having repudiated the
nomination Of Mr.. Wells, will
support Mr.. King, and cast a
large vote for him, and if the
Republicans do not mske any
nomination in the district, as we
suppose, why of course it will be
left for them to obey the scrip
tural Injunction "Of two evils
choose ye the lesser " and vote
for the Indeperd dent candidate. II

Of a prominent place in the fore.
most rank of those bitter, fanati-
cal, unprincipled enemies of the
white people Of this State, who
seek to arouse the smouldering
fires of rage and resentment in the
breasts of the colored people. In
the course Of an %impassioned har-
rangue, delivered at the Republi.
can mass meeting held at Jeaner-
cite, Sunday the 18th instant, he
took occasion to charge the Demo
cratic party in this State, among
other things, Of desiring to call a
constitutional convention which
is to do away with universal
suffrage and substitute in its place
a limited suffrage. How in the
world this brilliant political
dodge ever suggested itself to
such an astute mind as his we
are utterly unable to explain.
Forty acres of land and a mule"
and the numerous other yarns
about the endless benefits the
colored man was to derive from
voting the Republican ticket and
hating the corper-head Democra'
cy, have long since been exploded
Then it became necessary to
change tactics and preach the
terrible treatment the poor color
ed man would receive if the
dreaded "rebels" should ever
come into power again. 1t was
frankly declared that they would
be driven out Of the public
schools and even put back into
slavery. Gov. Nichols and his
administration have been ruling
US for nearly two years and the
colored man finds that he is a.
free as ever and that none of his
rights have been c%urtailed
Branded as liars, these soul-less
demagognes again come to the
front, with brazen impudence, tc
