As an elegant hair dressing stands
Parker's Hair Balsam, deservedly
popular for the beautiful hair it pro-
dnces, and its healthful, cleansing
and healing properties. Commencing
at the roots, it promotes luxuriant
growth of young hair, and untailingly
restores gray or faded hair to its
original youthful color, giving o soft,
rich aud lustrous appearance of great
beauty. It is pleasantly cooling to
the scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff,
cures itching and humors, and stops
falling of the hair. 1t is perfectly
harmless, exquisitely perfumed, never
soils the skin or gums the hair, and
pleases everybody by its many ex-
cellent aud attractive qualities. Buy
bottle from your druggist, n. Bel,
and test its merits.

TIE SUNDAY LAw.--The Secretary
of the Police Jury informs us that he
has received from all wards except
the seventh returns of the election of
Saturday last, held TO take the sense
of the voters upon the ordinance pro-
hibiting liquor traffic on Sundays; but
the documents being sealed, we can
procure no detailed statement of the
vote until the President of the Police
Jury canvasses the returns. There is
no doubt, however, that the ordinance
has been approved, and if common
reports are true, the vote is nearly
unanimous in its favor.

Henry Thomas, the eolored man
indicted at the last term of District
Court for the murder of Harry Glas-
per, died in the parish Jail, Monday
night, of consumption. The Jail
Physician recently addressed COM
munication to District Judge Duffel,
calling attention to the condition of
Thomas, and recommending his re-
moval to private quarters. Judge
Dutfel referred the matter to the Po
lice Jury, who in turn referred it
back to the Judge, aud pending this
game of official shuttle-cock the pris-
oner's soul took flight and located
within the jurisdiction of that Court
which requires no human evidence to
determine whether or not the blood
of Harry Glasper is upon the head Of
Henry Thomas. The Coroner viewed
the body and superintendent its
burial.

EDITOR CHIEF
Approaching eourtesies received from
your hands, take this occasion to address
these lines to you, not only on account
OF the merited popularity OF the, CHIEF, but
because of the willingness you have ever
eyineed to Render unto Caesar what is
Caesars, as fearlessly as you oppose injus-
tice or intolerance.
Sunday, January 81, the Rev. DR.. So
phar, who is well known and deservedly APP
preciated in your town, paid US visit, and
worked so zealously for worthy object,
that in the course of the few hours he re-
manned in our midst, "a congregation was
duly organized, having for its ultimate OBJ
Ject the establishment of a House of Wor-
ship" For the present we must satisfy our
selves with the establishment of :" SABBATH
School," and the establishment of our
" Cemetery" Sunday, the 10th inst, Rev.
DR.. Sophar again favored us with visit and
materially assisted us in adopting the neces-
sary Constitution, etc. Approaching such
services, our reverend friend was elected by
reclamation, first honorary member OF the
g Congregation Ohavai Sholom . of Plaque
mine, Iberville parish, La. The officers elect
are l.. Meyer, President; A. Kowalslxi,
Treasurer DIR. NJ j. Lehman, Secretary
Messrs. A. Kowalski and s. Levy, Wardcns
of the Jewish Rest.
Rev. DR.. Sophar can not be too much
Landed for services rendered, as out of chaos
he has instituted order and established an
association that shall stand as an everlast-
ing monument to his zeal and services.
Thanks are mpossible-words superflu-
ous-to such men. Acts are the opponents of
their services to humanity. CADIAN.

Council to whom was delegated the
authority to arrange settlement
with Mr.. G.. w. Mitchell for the work
recently done upon the streets under
his direction, agreed to pay the sum
of $3.50, and this figure was accepted
by Mr.. Mitchell as the best obtaina-
BILE. A majority of the committee at
first favored the payment of 5000
only, but an increase of $50 was
finally agreed upon, and the matter
defnitively settled on that basis, the
Treasurer disbursing the award by
direction of the committee. Thus the
contractor receives just one-half the
amount of his bid for putting the
town streets in order, aud under the
circumstances is glad to get that. We
opine it will be many day ere he
repeats the indiscretion of under
taking to do $500 worth of work for
$500. Three goes into one no times
and nothing left. Eli, Mitch
