gratificd at the bold stand which

the most important Of the Con-

committees have little or no time
to consider any other matters than
those specially confded to them.

employed in the consideration Of
better and more efficient judiciary
system than we have at present,
and in the study of the various
important problems coming up be-
fore the Convention. Tie many
paramount questions presenting
themselves require the gravest
consideration and forethought.
Entering upon a new era in her
history Louisiana must have a
constitution moulded to the alter.

the country, and in keeping with
the agricultural, mechanical and
commercial interests of the day.

SZegedin.

A correspondent of the Paris
Steele, speaking of the work going
on at the ruined City of Szegedin
says s'The work of simply clear
ing away the ruins is gigantic; how
ever, men are engaged on 1t day
and night, even by torch light.
Dead bodies are constantly being
found. Only few days ago the
whole family of Prof. Szabadl was
got out. The unfortunate people,
nine in number, were seen at the
time of the disaster on the roof OF
their house, asking for help. But
the ruins still contain masses OF
human bodies and those of animals
in an advanced stage of decomposlH
ton. The air is poisoned, and
nothing is done to disinfect it, and
yet the matter must not be post
poned until the water has wholly
for then the catastrophe
might be succeeded by epidemics.

The Meanest Man in the World.

OF all tue mean characters that have
come under our observation, the mean
eat of ali is the dyspeptic cynic, to
whom gru milling has become a second
nature. The weather is always too
hot or too dry; the meat is too rare or
too thoroughly cooked, too fat or too
lean-in short, he grumbles about
every thing from his coffee to Congress.
He is always in want of something he
has not, and forever discontinued with
whatever he has. C0ntrariness is his
distinguishing trait. If his wife de-
slres to spend the evening with
friend he insists upon staying at home.
He warns all his bachelor friends to
beware of matTimOny. His brain is so
full of whims and cTOtchets, there is
little room for reason or sense. But
the dYspeptic cynic reaches the acme
Of disagreeableness when a diseased
liver, has supplemented the grumbling
by hypochOndria. Then the slig htest
unpleasant circumstance is magnified
Into something mOmentOus and ter
riblt. The victim becomes distrustful
of Ills best friends, and all sorts of im-
aginary evils haunt the weakened
brain. This picture is not OverdrawD,
as thousands of homes can attest
homes in which domestic happiness
and harmony have been wrecked by
nothing more than dyspeptic and
chronic disease of the liver. Given a
sound stomach and a healthful liver
and the results will almost invariably
be health and a cheerful temper. DR.. |
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets are unfaiI-
ing remedies for all chronic diseases of
tho stomach and liver. Druggists mark
them as the most popular domestic
remedies on their list.

Grating in stocks which Messrs. Law

by using from $50 to $500 capital. By
this system, orders from thousands of
customers, in various sums, are pooled
into one immense capital, and Oper-
ated as a mighty whole, thus giving to
each shareholder all the advantages of
vast capital and shrewdest skill Prof
ils are divided every 80 days. Any

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
BY enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit a contin-

heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
