THE WAY TO MAKE GOOD TIMES.
TBOSsier Banner.7

[Bossier Banner.]
One of the simplest ways in the world
to make good times is for every one
who has money by him, or can COM
mand it, to pay it out for everything
he buys, and when he makes his pur.
chases. Some of US cannot do this at
all times, but some can and should,
consider how many it would help each
day to get over the hard times.
For instance, a man pays out a $50
bill to some one who needs it, and this
man goes to his grocer, dry goods
merchant, and others, and so pays half
a dozen bills during the day, and has
not spent the whole twenty dollars
either. The grocer and merchant, ETC.,
use this money to pay half dozen
other bills the same day /; and before
night this small amount of money has
passed through a dozen hands, been di-
vided and subdivided, and accomplish
ed a large amount OF good. If the man
who first paid it out had kept the same
in his pocket, and made the man wait
a month for his pay, because it is hard
times and because others do the same,
why dozen men, for each day of the
and made comparatively miserable.
Money is good for nothing only to sup
ply our wants with.
Cast pebble into the quiet waters
of the lake, and the waves which it
causes to bubble up at first, will keep
on widening until the motion is ex-
tended all over the whole body of
water. So is the influence of this
generous way of doing business on the
public. 1t does not take large amount
of money, constantly employed, to
pay the small bills that daily accumu-
late in a village. 1t is only when it is
sent abroad, with no compensation in
the way of return, or only when the
cry is give, in one direction, that the
money gets to be and keeps scarce.

MONROE AND BAsTROP RAILROAD

MONROE, La, March 10, 1873.
Editor O,tacAito Telegraph
Without prefacing my remarks with
an apology for not complying sooner
with my promise to give your readers
another article on the nerrow-gauge
railways of the present date, shall give
you further information upon the SUBJ
ject that is, or ought to be, of such vital
importance to this people. Owing to
the fact that they are so much cheaper
to construct and operate, together with
the no less patent fact, that there is but
little difference between their carrying
capacity and that of the present STAN
dard gauge road, they are fast becom-
United States; and especially is this
the case in the Southern States. All
the old established usages and customs
of the South are fast undergoing an en-
tire revolution, to suit the radical chan
ges that have been forced upon the
country within the last decade, and the
present system of narrow gauge rail-
roads is mainly due to causes over
which the people had little or no con-
troll. These lines can be constructed,
over the average Southern country, at
a cost not exceeding S., 500 per mile,i in
Guiding construction and equipment.
And where the country possesses the
peculiar natural advantages, inviting
the investment of capital in this species
of property, that are to be found be-
tween this place (Monroe) and Bas-
trop, it would be wilfull blindness on
the part of the people not to take hold
of the matter boldly, and reap the ben
efits that are their just due.
The financial condition of our cOun-
try is becoming better daily, and it is
perfectly reasonable to infer that capt.
talists will begin soon to look out for
the opportunities of investing their
funds to the best advantage,a land should
the incorporates and stockholders of
the proposed st. Louis and New Or
leans railroad fail to exert themselves
sufficiently to build the initial link
from Monroe to Bastrop-of this road,
they will have lost a golden opportuni-
ty, Some persons object to the build
ing of a "locap' road, as they term it
of twenty-five or fifty miles in length,
and contend that what is needed is a
line extending from this section Of
country to st. Louis. 1t is not the in
tention, as 1 understand it, to build a
purely local road, but to begin the road
that will become the direct line OF
communication with the grain produc-
ing and manufacturing Western States.
Every undertaking, however great
must have a beginning, and should the
first 25 miles of this road be built, the
main difficulty will have been sur
mounted, and the friends OF the
.through line' need have no fears as
to the ultimate completion of the bal
ance of the distance to Little Rock,
Ark.
Another objection raised to the in
vestment of capital in the road is, that
the incorporators and builders of roads
rarely, if ever, continue to own and
operate the roads. While this objec.
ton may have been true with regard
to the past system of building and
managing roads of the standard gauge
the Inauguration of the narrow-gauge
system has proven conclusively that

Counterfeit trade dollars have been
discovered in circulation at New York
as they have been in Baltimore. Their

hard to detect them. The bad pieces
are nearly twenty grains lighter than
the genuine, and a very little smaller
in size. They have been so far chiefly
distributed among the grocery stores.

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 consump-
tive-is at best only palliative. The cure OF
consumption depends upon two essential con-
ditions: 1st, the arrest OF the abnormal break
ing down OF the tissues, which prevents enact
alton, and I'd, the restoration OF healthy nutri-
tion, in order TO stop the formation OF tuber-
culous matter. Fulfil these conditions, and
consumption is as curable as fever. To fulfill
these conditions the required remedy must in
crease the appetite, favor the assimilation OF
food, and enrich the blood thus retar1ing the
development OF tubercles. To accomplish this,
a more powerful Alternative than DIR. Pierce e
Golden Medical Discovery has never been dis
covered. At the same time, 1t soothes the ir-
ritation of the nervous system produced by
violent coughing, which, in its turn, so often
leads to more serious results. The use of lex.
pectorantsn in consumption is absolutely sui
cidal. For while removing the tubercles al
ready formed, they produce yet more serious
results by infiaming and destroying the sound
and healthy tissues. Consumption requires a
remedy that will soothe while II relieves harsh
medicines but add fuel to the flame that al
ready threatens to consume the system. The
Golden Medical Discovery fulfills these condi
tions, and has been pronounced the best rene
dy yet discovered to allay and arrest eonsump
tion.

Marrying His Fathers Wife.

The special dispatch to the Ne'0s yes
terday, announcing the elopement of a
Kentucky gentleman with his step
mother, and their marriage at New
Albany, has proved substantially true.
Mr.. Thos. II. Ellis, the junior proprie-
tor of the Ellis House, Bardstown, KY,
and Mrs. Mollie Z. Ellis are the drd-
mats perSon@ of this little sensation.
The parties seem apparently well-to-do
people, and the unnatural son lavished
considerable money on his wife, who,
no doubt, liked him better as q "dear
hubby than a cold-hearted step-son.
When NeVS reporter called on the elop-
lists at the Central Hotel, New Albany,
yesterday, they were coolly eating their
dinner in a manner of perfect indiffer-
ence, and, on stating our mission, we
were received with kind of caustic
cOrdiality, Mr. Ellis remarking that he
was kind of printer himself and didn't
want anything in the paper about his
running off; and, furthermore, if we
did print it he would make cold meat OF
us. To show him how badly scared we
were, we went directly to the telegraph
Office and sent that dispatch. Father
Kline performed the ceremony making
them man and wife, after which they
crossed the river to return as mixed re-
latiOns. NeWS.

Why Do Eggs Spoil2

We find lining the shell thin skin,
which, when kept in healthy condi-
ton by the albumen of the egg, is i'm
perviOus to air; but if the eggs remain
too long in one position, the yelk, being
heavier than the albumen, gradually
sinks through it, and comes in contact
with the skin. AS it has none of the
qualities requisite for keeping the skin
fabricated and healthy, the skin soon
becomes dry aud pervious to air, which
penetrates it to the yelk, causing the
mass to rot. Therefore the true plan is
to keep the yelk in its central position.
By doing this, the egg can be preserved
for long time. My plan for accom-
plishing this is to take keg or barrel,
and pack the eggs on their sides, end
to end, laying tier around next to the
slaves, so continuing until layer is
made, and so on till the barrel is full
Use oats for packing; jar them down
as much as is required to keep them
firmly in their places, and head up the
barrel ready for market. By rolling
the barrel about quarter around every
few days the eggs will be kept as re-
quired.-COr. american Stock Journal.

He Had Been a Boy.

1t is only now and then that the pub
lie get sight of a man who was once a
boy and acted like boy. One of this
sort was met at the Central Depot the
other day. Feeling tired, and yet de-
string to see all that was to be seen, he
made arrangements to sit down on a
bench outside. Passing his hand over
it several times he said to himself:
"No tacks or pins put in here to
raise feller up, and no pitch to hold a
feller down.
He looked it over very carefully, and
continued:
"No fresh paint on here to spile
clothes, and no acid to spile the hide. I"
He made a last examination, and felt
satisfied to say:
"No place above here to pour water
down my back-no bricks to fall on my
head-n0- -Bogardus kicker under it-no
bumble-bees around now, and think
can safely sot down and take COM
