COFFEE IN TYPHOID FEVER,

DR.. Guillasse, Of the French navy,
IN q recent paper on typhoid. fever,
says: Coffee has given ls unhoped-
for satisfaction; after having dispensed
1t, we ind, to our great surprise, that
its action IL as prompt as decisive.
No sooner have our patients taken 4
few tablespoonfuls Of it than their
features become relaxed and they come
to their senses. The next day the i'm.
provement Is such TINT we nre tempted
to look upon the coffee as q specific
against typhoid tcver. Under its in
fuence the stup0r IL dispelled, and
the patients rouse from tho state Of
somnolcncy in which he has been
since the invasion Of the disease.
Soon all tho functions take their nat.
ural course, md he enters upon con-
valesccnce." DIR. Ouillasse gives an
adult two or three tablespoonful Of
strong black coffee every two hours,
altcrnated with one or two teaspoon
fuls of claret or Burgundy wine. A
little lemonade or citrate Of magnesia
should be taken daily and after while
quinine. From the fact that malaise
md crebral symptoms appeared first,
the doctor regards typhoid fever as n
nervous disease, and the coffee acting
on the nerves is peculiarly indicated
in the early stages before local CON.
plicatiOns arise.

THE REVENUE BILL.

An unfortunate deadlock has Oc.
cured in the House of Representa-
tives with regard to the clause in tho
Revenue Bill setting apart three mil''
for the payment of tho interest and
the redemption of the State Debt.
AS n member of the constitutional
Convention, none stood up more firm
ly than we for eliminating the fraud
ulent portion of the State Debt, and
in the impossibility of separating the
valid from the spurious, to scale the
debt down to such figure as wonld
bring relief to an overtaxed and plum
dcred people.
In a word we don't hesitate to say
that we were one of the forty mem
bers who voted to sustain the majori-
ty report on the debt question.
Later on, when we found that it
was necessary to the we'll being of the
State that compromise of the mat
ter at issue should be effected, we
gave our acquiescence to thedebt or
d!nance which has since received the
approval of the people at the polls.
To-day we arc uncquivocally in
favor Of adhering in good faith to the
settlement that has been ordained by
the people, and if it requires three
mills to carry it out beyond all qucs-
4ion of Il doubt, VIC say, let it be done.
We objected very strongly to some
Of the features ofthe Revenue Bill and
did not fail to express our opinion in
our last issue, just as we do now, when
we deprecate any action that may i'm
pair the fultillment Ofthc engagements
contained in the debt ordinance.

JUDICIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

With our confrcres of the press we
join in the protest against the estab-
lishment of official journals in the
parishes, wherein all judicial advcr-
tisements will have to be published.
This would create q monopoly in
every parish of the State, the effect
of which would be to crush out all
except the favored journal selected.
The Republican party was guilty
of committing such an outrage some
years back, and the Democratic par
ty, when it came into power, opened
the field of competition giving a
living chance to every printer toearn
his bread.
We sincerely hope that the Senate
will reconsider its hasty action in the
premises, or if too late, that the
House will amend the bill and send
it back for correction.

PROF. RICHARD s. McOULL0OH.

Our readers will doubtless learn
with much regret, that this distin
guished Chemist and Professor whose
reputation extends throughout this
country, even in Europe, has tender
ed his resignation as a member of the
educational corps Of the Louisiana
University. A memorial which he
has addressed to the General Assem-
bly, explains the reasons which have
prompted his course. We have no
Aesire to enter into Il discussion Of the
disagrccmcnts and complaints which
of late have occurred among the corps
of Professors at the University, based
as they allege, upon the faulty and
inefficient organization Of the Institu-
ton, one in whose success tho people
of the State are greatly interested.
The matter at issue is now before the
proper tribunal, the General Assem-
bly,, and we sincerely hope that after
full and careful consideration of this
important subject, such amendments
or changes in the present law will b'
made that will restore harmony amony
the Faculty, to tho extont ut least
that the services of such talented gen
tlemen as Prof. MctuIloch and Others
may be permanently secured toO tho
College.

bright future before it, if administer
ed under such rules Us will ensure tho
cordial cooperation and support OF

Grants tour to Mexico is the cul-
minating act of his monarchical de-
signs. He first visited the Empires
of Europe to learn how to run mon
archy then he goes to Mexico where
he hopes, from the habits of the peo-
pie, to acquire the art of destroying
Republics. This point gained, he
returns to the United States with the
fell purpose of destroying its form
and establishing one that gives him
the crowned title of king or emperor.
The opening scene in the bloody
tragedy will be his race for President

In the early settlement of Illinois

In the early settlement of Illinois
and Missouri two trappers were going
down the Mississippi river to New
Orleans on a flatboat. Every we'll
regulated boat i'll those days carried
plenty of whisky aboard. The trap
pers tappeta barrel with a gimlet and
sucked the whisky through a straw.
The Missourian ''pnked," but the H.
linois man, like his successors, being
proofagainst so weak a beverage, kept
his down. From that day Illinois
men were called Suckers" and Mis-
sourians ''Pukes.'

FOR A CONSIDERATION.

Mayor Patton of New Orleans has
created quite stir by the informa-
ton he has conveyed to the House Of
Representatives that one Of the men,
bcrs Of that body, had made n propo-
sition to Administrator Behan, TINT
for the sum Of $1,000 he would see
that the City Government be contin-
ucd in Office till the year Of our Lord
1884.
The question now is to And out
"who did itg" Several notes have
been exchanged, the wrath Of the
Legislators has been excited, and no
response has come ns yet.
1t is high time that the reign Of cor
ruption should be numbered among
the dark annals Of the past. Public
sentiment will whip with u lash of
scorpions the Infamous wretches who
make Of legislation n thing Of barter
and traffic.
A thorough investigation should be
had so that these rumors Of corrup-
tion may be sifted out. For the
honor and good name Of the State let
the matter be probcd to the quick.
II there nrc such scOun1rcls in the
Louisiana Legislature Of to-day, the
good members owe it to themselves
and the Democratic majority that
composcs 1t, to ignominiously drive out
tho individual who dares to traffic
with the interests of the people.
Since tho foregoing was put in type
Representative II. Heidenlam, Of
New Orleans, has been proclaimed
the guilty party. lie denies the
charge, and asks that committee be
appointed to investigate the matter.

accidentally shot himself while in

sons theatre. lie was handling
navy six, which was accidentally dis
charged, the bullet entering the left breast
below tn heart, and near the edge of the
lung.
Charles Niomyer who keeps the lunch
stand, gave HERALD reporter the following
version of the shooting:
1.-THE boys name is Lewis Austin he has
just returned ON term ut the poor farm !;
he has been running errands and doing chores
for me and staying about the lunch stand;
he was handling my six-shooter and | was
putting wood in the stove, near which he
was standing | told him to put down the
pistol rs it was loaded and he might hurt
himself or some one with it; stopped to
pick up pce of wood and the pistol was
discharged; the boy screamed that he had kill
ed himself; my left wrist was hurt and pow
der-burned on account of the pistol being
held so close to me-"
Niemeyers wrist wNs scratched or burned
somewhat and was at the time black with
powder
Policeman Clemens started fora physician
and met DR.. Q. X, Wilcox, who attended the
unfortunate man, who was taken t. his
mothers house on Commerce street.
To the question from the reporter if he
shot himself, tho boy replied, 81 reckon so. 4"
He appears to be suffering considerable and
to be very much frightened ut his condition.
His physician considers his wound mortal.
