SIcKNEss.-Owing to protracted dry
weather, cold nights and mornings and
warm days, there has been recently q
great deal of sickness, chiefly fever
with strong tendency to congestion,
all through southwestern Louisiana and
eastern Texas. Here, and il all direc-
tions in the country, it broke out SO
suddenly and seriously that for few
days the gvavest fears of an epidemic
pestilence were widely entertained. ii
was soon found, however, that the fe-
YER yielded readily to prompt medical
treatment, and We are glad to announce
that 80 far aS We can learn, the sick
are everywhere recovering. We ex-
poet IN next weeks Issue Of our paper
to be able,to say that the sickness has
entirely disappeared.

Itis fact, worthy Of comment and
inquiry, that though the people of
Cameron parish, in Southwest Lonisi-
ana, just below Calcasicu, suffered so
severely by the destructive storm Of
Septemberflst, that large amount Of
the necessaries of life had to be sent
them from Galveston to save them
from absolute starvation, not a scrap
of help was sent from here; no one
here seemed to know or care that so
many citizens of Louisiana were in
such dire distress; and not even a
question was put, or any official at
tempt made BY the powers that be, to
remind the Cameronians that they
were not Texans but Louisianians.
Yet, we'll be bound, the State tax col
llector will be sharp after these unfor-
Inmates for the shekels, and the politi-
elan, here and elsewhere, who are
bleeding at every pore to save the
State from ruin, etc, etc, will rely
npon the voters Of Cameron to help
carry them over Jordan.

1t is somewhat astonishing how littlt
is known by the outside world of ths
beauties and attractions of our village
by the lakeside. While thousands o.
visitors come annually from the North
to spend their time and money amid
the burning sands and dense swamps
of Florida, receiving little benefit and
less pleasure from their outlay, having
nowhere to go, except through the
sand, with poor hunting, and very few
other attractions, how few find their
way to our pleasant little town. ON the
completion of the Louisiana Western
Railroad, thereby making our town OF
easy access to the traveller or tourist,
we confidently expect Lake Charles
will become a favorite winter resort for
all classes. The town, situated on the
margin of a splendid sheet of fresh
water well stocked with fish of all kinds,
will afford endless pleasure and en-
ployment to the disciples of Isaac Wal
ton, while yacht clubs and rowing
boats have ample room and splendid
water to exercise in. The pine forests
surrounding the Lake will afford fine
pastime torthe sportsman, and without
any great eyertion he can always re-
turn from the days hunt loaded with
game. No doubt as the attractions of
our section become known we viii have
visitors in abundance.

Tine Old Verdict.

Rtillef. ia the voice and the silent dead
Retains scarce mark of the spirit He'd,
So fair without, but alas within,
| The Iiarisness Of death, and the stains OF sin,
Rested the tramp OF the weary feet,
Found in the dawning dead in the street
The thorns were many, the flowers were few,
and the false had effaced every trace OF inc
true,
The poor pale face was bedimmed with care,
But the form was one that o saint might wear
And the last that was heard OF this wall OF
Was the verdict of old, Visitation Of God
Visitation of God Oh moclSery sublime,
Poor priestess of passion and sister of crime,
1t is best as 1t is for the bud life unborn,
Whose birthright alas would be suffering
and scorn
Whose childhood of poverty only might claim
A future of sinfulness, sorrow, and shame.
Perchance in her past was happier day,
When her footsteps fell gently like sunshine
in May,
And her young life flowed onward in musical
streams,
Her home may have been corsecrated by
And glatiness and peace, found resting place
there.
Did she pray as she shivered amidst the rain
For the home that she dared not approach
again?
Did she cry, through that dark and dreary
night,
To the God whose dwelling is love and light?
Or did he accept, in mercy, her means,
As-she pillowed her head on the pitiless stones?
Wreck of the tempest, without home or friend,
Oh merciful heaven, can this be the end
The end of a creature that seemed to he given
As a link that would lessen our distance from
heaven.
And lead us to hope, and soothe us to rest
In the Eden of promise, the paradise blest.
Oh temple of virtue defled and profaned,
Oh altar of innocence shattered and stained,
Oh picture of purity blotted and torn,
Oh sunshine of life lost in darkness and seorn,
May the winds wall thy requiem upwards TO
God
And may he give thee rest from thy labor and
load.

On which the storm came as swiftly down.
Where hearts were sore and where eyes were
wet,
For the lamb they had lost, but could not
forget?
Did they dream as they heard the falling sleet,
1t was weaving the loved ones winding sheet:
Oh straight is the gate, and narrow the way,
And sad is the fate of the soul astray.
Alas for those who leave the track,
How few of the wandering feet turn back.

admiring the energy, system and en-

The latter were grinding corn, cleaning

all at the same time and under the same

we found them thronged with people.
