sentiKg the name Of Capt. L. M. God

enhanced by the fact that he was q
gallant soldier of the Union, and lost
q leg in the bloody assault on the
rebel works at Vicksburg in May,

way fitting and appropriate.

James +. Anderson is the man on
whom the democracy are now relying
to make out case against John Sher-
man and the President before the
Potter Investigating Committee for
the unseating of Mr.. Hayes, and the
installing of Tilden. 1t is well that
that our readers should know some
thing of the history of this man. He
Is a Pennsylvania, and for some years
has been in Louisiana. He was a
clerk in the Custom House at New Or
leans in 1876, and was supervisor of
registration and election in the Parish
of East Feliciana, and man named

ton for West Feliciana. In 1872 and

; therefore was absolutely and COM
pletely apparent that there had been O

: and it turned out that this man An

A Sailors FOrethOughf.

The experienced mariner, before risk
ing the perils of the sea, skdllfully adjusts
his cargo, and makes provisions for
every possible contingency, well know
ing that when the storm comes, his abili-
ty will be taxed to the utmost in saving
his vessel and crew. Yet the mariner on
the sea of life makes no preparation to
cope with the storms (disease) to which
all are liable. No studious effort to keep
the many organs in order, or regulate
their functions. If the liver be sluggish,
bowels constipated, head dizzy, dull, or
aches, he "guesses it will wear off In IA
day or So" and does nothing to obtain
relief, though knowing that one or two
doses of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative
Pellets will effect radical cure, and that
Il bottle or two of his Golden Medical
Discovery will effectually ward off all
future attacks, by enriching and purify
ing the blood. Suppose captain upon
discovering that his vessel was too heavy
on one side, should "guess 1t would right
itself in day or so" and do nothing,
could any one be blamed but himself, If
in storm his vessel foundered, and all
perished? So people who carelessly and
toolishly neglect the premonitory symp-
toms OF disease can blame no one but
themselves of an early death is the re-
suit. Reader, if you wish to "kn0'o

Twogentlemen of this city were lately
the owners of game ROSTERS having re-
markable likeness to each other. A few
days past, the wife and daughters of one
whom we will call A, concluded to surprise
him his return from the country with a
chicken pie and selected the game rooster
as the best suited for the purpose. So lay
ing their plans they gave chase and pur-
suing him across the street he was lost
for moment. On finding him Gas they
supposedly he was soon in hands, and on
AS return he partook of the pie with a
relish and proceeded to feed his chickens
amongst them his ''game" who was on
hand as usual for his share-now neigh
Dor b, was looking for his and making en-
quiries of A., who at once called the atten-
ton of his family to the matter. Here
was dilemma. So unfolding their little
chase it was seen at once that AS chicken
had hidden and they had captured b. IS
Now that street has only one game rooster
and he perches on BIS roost. Moral, don't
keep twin game roosters.
Mr.. ward, OF 1DoDDlllSVllle, has opened

planted with a good selection Of Towering
plants. Mr.. Ward is. well known in this

"FanchOn the Cricket

1t is five years ago this month since
Maggie Mitchell was in this city, and yet
her hundreds of admirers have not for
gotten her, nor her acting, as was evinced
by the most enthusiastic reception that
she received at their hands last evening
The audience numbering about 1000 was
composed largely of the very best citizens
and no matter how much applause, or
how large an audience, Miss Mitchell has
received elsewhere, she has never received
any that We're more flattering than the
one that greeted her here, and she may
will feel proud of her reception, as il
seemed to be an ovation from the time
she made her appearance at the window
of the house of Father Barbeaud, until
the curtain dropped upon the scene. And
even then the audience had not seen
enough of her,as they called her before the
curtain which made the fourth time for
the evening. OF Miss MITCIIELL's act
ing there is no criticism needed, il can all
be embodied in the one word, perfection.
She has not changed but is the same jolly
Cricket. Mr.. WILLIAM HARRIS, who
still continues to support her i'll the lead
ing roles, was well received and of course
was the recipient Of well merited applause
The remainder of the company were all
good in their parts, there not being a
''stick" among them.
Tonight Miss MITCHELL will appear
here for the last time this season. She
will present "The Pearl of Savoy, or n
Mothers Prayer" by many considered the
finest of all her repertoire.

against his vii he did not want to come
but he was, and here, please the Lord,
he was going 10 remain. Upon the
Board he would leave the responsibility
of ousting him through personal preJu-
dice.
DIR. GrimShaw argued that the Board
would stultify itself by voting for the res
olution; IL would throw out perfectly le-
Pal votes, and would not settle the ques-
ton whether Farrell or Grubb was legal
ly elected The proper thing would be to
proceed against the inspectors and lnves-
tigate the election in ali the Wards.
Mr.Woolley disclaimed any personality
in offering this resolution; he was simply
doing In good faith what he conceiyed
to he his duty.
The chair said he thought the best thing
the Board could do wound be to present
all Inspectors To the Grand Jury.
