THE YOUNG MAN FROM TEXAS WHO
RESPONDS TO THE FIRE ALARM.-A
young man, whose exterior indicated that
he was fresh importation from the ru-
raj districts, entered barber-shop yes.
terday, and extending himself at full
length in the only vacant chair, requested
the barber to give him q clean shave.
The knight of the razor at once began 10
comply with the request, and soon had
the rustic's two weeks growth OF bristles
covered with heavy lather.
"Guess l had just as well have 'cm
shined up while Pm resting comfortable" !"
said the rustic, and bootblack immedi-
ately set himself to work on the country
mans brogans.
The work of renovation WAS progress =
ing satisfactorily, when the fire bell just
around the corner suddenly sounded an
alarm. At the first stroke Of the bell The
rustic sprung from the chair as if he had
received an electric shock, and grabbing
his hat started on dead run for the en-
CINE house. In answer to the BARRIERS
excited query of "What's the matter?"
the rustic replied, "By Jupiter, I'm going
to the fire." He was hotly pursued by
the barber and the bootblack, each carry
ing with him the respective tool of his
craft.
The barber thinking he was about to
lose his customer, shouted "stop! stop p
but the rustic kept putting in his best
licks until the engine house was reached.
The scene attracted the attention Of d
large crowd, and their enjoyment of tine
race was excessive. The young man WAS
oblivious to the fact that he presented Il
very ludicrous appearance with his face
half shaved and one boot blacked, and
the persuasive eloquence Of tile barber
to induce his return to the shop until it
was definitely settled that the engine
would not answer the alarm. He then
accompanied the barber back to the shop
where the finishing touches of his toilet
were quickly applied, it evidently being
feared OH tie part of the barber that Il
second alarm might ut any moment be
'unded.
Iu explanation of his conduct, Il g
young man said he was from Texas; thi
he had been in the city two weeks and
hadn't yet seen the engines go 10 Il fire.
"But you bet your ears" he added, "when
they do go, Pm going to be thar."-tL
Louis Times.

Symptoms Of aDiseasedLiver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some"
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

AGUE AND FEVER.

DR.. C. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF ACUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

and deserted his wife the daughter
Of one Of the wealthiess residents
of Sayre, Penn. He obtained, by

nI= The people of California are
very much exasperated at the pro-
crastinating spirit exhibited by the
fraudulent Hayes in refusing to put
his signature to the anti-Chinese
bill, and strong feeling of seces-
sion is badly manifested by pre-
ponderating class OF citizens OF the
Golden State. The San Francisco
Daily Stock Exchange, the Oldest
financial paper in the West, several
days ago contained a call urging a
monster mass meeting to demand OF
Hayes that he siga the anti.Chinese
bill, and in leading article says:
Tho East has Utterly failed to IN
derstand our situation and TO ex.
tend US the aid and sympathy we
have the right to expect from the
sisterhood Of States. As a last
resort we will take advantage Of
the physical lines that surround u.s.

ces Of wealth that are ours, and

IMPROVEMENT OF THE MISSISSIPPI

The bill which passed congress
for a careful examination of the
Mississippi liver from Alton to the
mouth, with the sole view Of ascer"
tanning what Improvements are
needed, and the best means by
which to make these improvements,
has created howl from those who
oppose any appropriations for tie
south, and who seem to think that
the government is instituted solely
for the benefit of the north. The
opposition to the Mississippi COM
mission is based upon false premi
ses. 1t is argued that congress
has undertaken to correct the mis-
takes OF Jehovah in regard to thu
Mississippi river. The Chicago
Times says that it is the intention
of the solid south to build a wal
of granite forty feet wide and sew
enty feet high on both sides of tn
river to the gulf, the cost Of while
will bankrupt the national treasury

H3@The last session OF the legis

B@@T The last session OF the legis-
lature passed a bill repeating the
Louisiana State Lottery, but as yet
Gov. Nichols has failed to give
the same his approving signature,
much to the disappointment of
large number of our citizens, who
are very anxious for the repeat OF its
charter. Why is this? Likely
the Gov. has good reasons for no:
approving this bill, thinking, per-
haps, that by his actions, to reduce
the chances of a successful resort
to the courts by this company. We
have from the first advocated the
dissolution Of this company, and
would like to see the bill as passed
promulgated Immediately we as yet
believe no good will result from a
delay.

but there is a very strong probabil-
ity, we are glad to say, that the
river will be put in first class con-;
dition under tho supervision and at
the expense Of the Federal govern
ment. eThe solid south has no
more interest in the enterprise than
the solid north. The Mississippi
is not sectional, but national; and,
az national property, the nation
must take care of it. The in,pu
dent inconsistency of the 'Timesar.
gument will appear when wo re-
member that the northern lakes, in
which the south certainly has no
direct interest, have drawn millions
upon millions Of dollars from the
public treasury, without any pro-
test on the part Of southern tax
PAYERS. Yet when these tax-pay'
ers ask for appropriations in behalf
of a river which rams from north te
south through the very heart of thu
continent, and which ia worth more
to the country than all the lakes
put together, with Chicago thrown
in, they are pelted with abuse ant

business. This game Of bluff la

It will be seen that the only two sigma
lures representing the other side are those
of G. Nj, Barrow and II. 3. Barrow, the |
other delegates refusing to agree or sign |
the agreement. This document was pre-
sented and read to the Convention. At !
ter this the report of the Committee on
Credentials was adopted, four voting
yea, two voting nay and three not vot-
ing-East Feliciana being entitled to
| nine votes.
Upon this, pursuant to instructions,
Judge Thomas Butler, Chairman, an
| nounced in brief but stirring speech
that the Democracy of West Feliciana
could not take part in the further delibe-
rations of the Convention, aud the whole
delegation retired.
The Convention then nominated Hon.
Thomas Bal ton Lyons as their candidate.
From the foregoing it will be seen that
the report of tie Committee on Creden-
tials was based upon total misunder-
standing of the facts. The Baton Rouge
Convention did not decide the matter be-
t,reen the contestants, IN fact the question auas
not before Contention and consequently
could not have been passed upon by it.
Such were tho facts, despite any state
ments or representations to the contrary
The proceedings of the Baton Rouge Con
vention show this.
While we regret the action of the East
, Feliciana delegates, based rs it is, on a
misrepresentation Of the trne state of facts,
h. yet we can but most heartily approve
:. nay applaud the action of our delegates
and we feel confident that it will meet

made Oh the part of the delegates and
