A vfsage Rivaling fn Yellow


A vfsage Heivaling in Yellow
ness that of "heathen Chinee," II belong
ing to one Of our race, can scarcely be de-
scribed as attractive. But worse than this, 1t
is the index of disordered liver, of liver
that needs arousing and regulating. The
remedy is at hand, prompt, efiicacious A
course OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will ex-
pei the misdirected bile from the blood and
divert 1t into the proper channel, open the
bowels, remove the dyspeptic symptoms which
invariably accompany biliousness and coun-
teract the rapidly developing tendency to
dangerous congestion of the liver, which must
always exist when the skin and whites of the
eyes assume this yellow hue. The pains
through the right lower ribs, side and shout
der blade, the nausea, furred state Of the
tongue, and unpleasant breath which indicate
liver complaint, in short all it's disagreeable
concomitants are soon remedied by this soy
ereign corrective, which In addition to its
regulating properties is superb inyigorant,
and pure and agreeable medicinal stimulant,
appetizer and neryine.

A FIXED FAcr.--The profitable cul
ture Of rice in Calcasieu and Cameron
is no longer an experiment. 1t is 9
fixed fact that no other crop is SO sure
and requires SO little time and labor
Rice cleaned by Jacob Ryan d. Son,
at their new steam rice mill at Lake
Charles, compares favorably with the
best specimens of Carolina rice,
These gentlemen in their new adver-
tisement in our paper, offer special
inducements to rice growers, and an
examination of the work done at their
mill viii greatly stimulate the produc-
ton of this valuable and certain crop.

Especial to the Cincinnati Star.

Seymour, Ind, Nov. s9.--One Of
the most singular natural freaks, in the
shape of an aerial cyclone, ever known
in this part of the country, passed over
here yesterday. About noon a dark
and angry looking cloud rose in the
West, and soon it was necessary to light
lamps. As it came up it rolled over
and over, making one revolution after
another in quick succession.
As it came near it raised and fell,
sometimes coming below the tree-tops.
Every limb it came in contact with
was shaven off as smooth as if cut off
with an AK. When above the trees the
sound of the wind resembled that Of a
mighty cataract. Its path was not over
two hundred yards wide. Passers
passing along the highways were ter
ribly alarmed.

OvR BAILRoAp.--The schooner Mar,
Lord, with 400 tons of steel rails and

of the pivot pier of the GaIcasieu bridge
Track laying goes on west Of Lake

The election last Tuesday, as usual,
passed off quietly in Calcasieu. The
vote polled was larger than esor before,
though it fell off considerably at some
points. The day was pleasant, the
roads in good travelling condition, for
Calcasieu roads, aad the crops were all
gathered, yet some four hundred regis
tered voters staid at home. We con-
graduate the democratic party on
the republican state ticket receiving
only one hundred and twenty-nine
votes out of total vote polled of six
teen hundred and thirty-one. We give
elsewhere the total vote received by
each candidate, and viii publish next
week tabular statement showing the
result at each polling place. Tele-
graphic advices to date show heavy
democratic gains in the country par
ishes, and the election of the demo-
cratic state ticket by large majority,
though scarcely two-thirds vote was
polled in New Orleans. The new con-
stitution was adopted by the people,
bit the State debt ordinance is in
doubt, and we cannot tell before the
middle of next week whether it was
adopted or rejected.

MARROW EscAPE.-We have re-
ceived two communications from Sugar
Town, giving accounts of late fire
there, and for want Of room to publish
them in full we condense their state
ments as follows:
On Thursday of last week, Nov. 81,
about 8 p. m, q fire broke out in the
lint and press room of Richardson q
Peninger's cotton gin, at Sugar Town,
caused by a parlor match being caught
in the gin saws. This room is about
seventy feet long, and forms the upper
story of their steam saw mill and rice
mill. There were two or three hun
dred pounds Of lint cotton in the room,
and about one hundred bales of cotton
about the building. The room was all
in flames in moment, but owing to
the lightness of the lint the first violent
flames subsidized in few minutes, and
were then soon extinguished by the
prompt application Of water, and by
smothering them with bagging, the
hands employed in and about the build
ing working like heroes TO assist Mr..
Richardson in putting out the fire.
This is the third or fourth case Of
cotton gins catching fire from matches
ignited by the gin saws which has come
to our knowledge within the last three
weeks, and there are two important
lessons to be learned therefrom first,
extreme watchfulness to detect the
presence of matches in cotton at the
gin, and secondly the importance Of
not giving up everything as lost on the
first violent outbreak of fire. Loose
cotton flames up for moment, and
then shoulders down, and the burning
mass can then be smotbered out, OF
drowned out, by prompt action, before
the wood work around it has time to
catch fire.

Tho United States Land Office has
been doing very large business this
year, forming striking contrast to
the records Of several years previous.
The business has consisted, not In
speculation, but in bona fide sales to
actual settlers and entries under the
homestead and timber-culture laws.
The purchases have covered this year
8,85O,1l0 acres, and the homestead
and timber-culture entries 8,O27, 1884
acres, which, in each department,
trebles the business of 1875. This IL

PORTLAND IN ST. JOHN EYES.
What a st. John Man Thinks of Pert
land.

A st. John man visited Portland lately and
has embodied an idea of some of the places
he saw and how they struck him in letter to
a local journal. This is what he says:
The city can boast of several fine halls
"Congress HalI,' "Grand Army" "Army and
Navv" and mechanics" are all fine places for
public entertainments. A government officer
10 charge of Grand Army Hall showed me
through this building and everything therein
was as neat and cosy as well kept cottage
In it are stored the same muskets, swords, un-
iforms and colors as We're carried into the field
of battle in the days of the rebellion. Here
those veterans meet often, their bands play, the
beauty and youth of Portland trip the fantas-
tic step, and old times are talked over by many
land is fond of dancing, and the best society in
the place patronizes it. At all events the
Grand Army boys 20 in for it, and where the
good boys 60 the pretty girls are sure to follow
and their mas will let them if they coax we'll.
The PRESS, ArRus and Advertiser are all good
papers, and if one advertises IN only two of
these, the third will be pretty sure to tear him
all to pieces in criticism, if it has chance at
all, SO it is better to patronize them all and
not run the risk # being lacerated. A Grand
Army gentleman. "a ma ior general" [ sup
pose, took me to City Hall and We visited
sort of tenn perance fair that was being held by
the temperance ladies of the Reform Societies.
The fair occupied tremendous room in the
building Second to the largest in the United
States). Here was built village of houses, in
imitation of Burns birthplace, Byrou's, Wal
ter SCOTS, Longfellow's, Washington Irving's,
Sleepy Hollow, etc. One could step into these
cunning little buildings, sit down and order re-
freshments, if desired. We did not do this,
however. My companion wouldn't "say any
thing" In the meantime praised up the en-
great credit on the good people who got up the
show
The Portland daily press., 1879-01-08

On Christmas Day, one of our business men,
whose office is located on one of the principal
thoroughfares, went into the back Office for q
few moments and, on his return, thought he
saw gentleman passing who has a desk in his
counting-room, and he rushed to the door to
attract his attention. When he got to the
door he could not see his friend and supposed
he had gone home He went back, closed the
safe, locked up the Office and departed. 1t ap-
pears the friend had come into the Office by a
side passage, and gone down cellar. he heard
the first gentleman 60 home, but thought little
of it as another key was usually kept in the
Office. When he came up stairs he could not
find the key and then he realized he was
locked up on Christmas Day and the family all
gathered at home for the Christmas dinner.
Friends passed by and discovering his situation
joked him and asked him how he liked 1t.
Finally one friend agreed to 90 and get the
key, but went home and forgot ali about it for
an hour when it flashed across his recollection
aud he rushed off for the requisite weapon" "
Armed with this he returned and released his
friend who bad been imprisoned some three

Encounter with a Bur2lar.

The brig Dauntless, Capt. Shea, lies at
Merrili's Wharf. There is no crew aboard bu t
the captain is keeping ship. Monday night he
retired into the cabin at the usual hour and
went to his bunk. During the night he was
aroused by hearing a foot fall on deck. He
listened and presently heard somebody making
his way into the forecastle. The captain
arose from his bank quietly, took his revolver
and proceeded steslthily forward. As he
emerged into the forecastle his presence was
accidentally made known to the intruder who
made for him evidently knowing he was the
only man aboard, that there was no other vessel
close at hand, and The spot where the vessel
lies is situated some distance from Commercial
street. As the fellow made his spring the
captain fred but missed, and the burglar
evidently not prepared for firearms turnsd and
bolted out ofthat forecastle as if an army were
in pursuit. The captain sent parting 8 hot
after him but the chap escaped.
