Perhaps the best way 10 give is to do so in

OUR NEW VOLUME.

To-day the LOUISIANA DEMOCRAT
enters its thirty-sixth year. 1t has
already outlived the average of mans
life, and there are but few now left
who perused the first number.
Founded by David Martin and
Samuel w. Smith, it entered upon
it's career as the exponent of Demo
cratic principles, which it has main
tanned through all the vicissitudes of
politics during many eventful years.
The lamented David Martin, the
peer in intellect of the first men our
country has produced, was succeed
ed at his death by DR.. Samuel Bard,
man we'll known in National
politics.
DR.. Bard remained at the head of
the paper one year, when it passed
into the hands of James A. Warner.
In turn, Mr.. Warner was succeed
ed by E. W. Halsey, a gentleman
still well known as a writer for the
press of the State.
The immediate predecessor of the
present editor, whom he succeeded
in the year 1860, was Major Mercer
Garfield, who fell at the battle of
Mansfield in 1864.
Sill firm in the faith of the faith
ers, it sends greeting to all true
Democrats throughout the land.
In the future, as in the past, we
shall direct our best energies to the
promotion of the principles we have
50 long advocated, according to 9th
ers the privilege which we have ev,
err maintained the freest exercise
of thought and speech, and which is
the birthrlght Of every American
citizen. We have no other desire
but the happiness and well-being OF
every individual.
1t shall be our aim to foster and
encourage the development Of the
resources of the State; to promote
harmony and kindly feelings among
all classes, and to compass, by every
means in our power, the realization
of the bright future now opening for
our State.

AS great many of our country
people are writing us concerning the
Parish Hog Law, we once more pub
lish the Resolution as introduced
and passed at the last session of the
Police Jury, May 31st, 1880:
On motion of Mr.. Blanchard,
Resolved, That the act passed by
the Police Jury, June 18th, 1879, rela-
tive to hogs running on the public
roads, in the lowlands, be SO amended
as to read: That any owner, or leaser,
of any plantation, after notifying the
parties to whom anyhogs seen run
ming on the public roads may belong,
shalt be authorized to kill the same.
This act to take effect 10 days from
date of publication.

--THE following complimentary
notice of our Journal is taken from
the sprightly Morgan City Free
Press, which has, under the manage
ment of Mr.. W. b. Gray, been en-
!arged to "a column weekly. 1t is,
indeed, what we would call a good,
interesting, wide awake country
newspaper:
"We were pleased to find that ably
conducted journal, the Alexandra
DEMOCRAT, upon our table this week.
AS Alexandria is now the objective
point of Morgan's Louisiana and Tex
as Railroad, and one of the principal
towns through which the New Orleans
and Pacific Railroad runs, we shall
most certainly appreciate the ex
change"

A VERY ODD CAsE.-An odd case ia
reported from Carlisle. England. A
doctor was called one evening Mt sew
en- O'Clock to visit q lady aged about
fifty five, who had, as she described
it, been feeling poorly all day, but
could give no definite symptoms and
complained Of no pain. During the
examination he noticed change in
her speech. This led to an investipa-
ton Of the throat. Outwardly the
neck appeared normal, and nothing
could be felt to indicate an obstruc.
tiou; he then examined the pharynx.
but no foreign body could be seen
there, and the examination only brought
up vomiting and straining. Howev or,
he determined to look a second time.
and Judge Of his surprise to fiud bed
ded low back in the pliarynx set of
false teeth, which he extracted with
little trouble. Upon inquiry the wom-
an said she had missed her teeth about
n;pe O'Clock in the ,Dorning, but had
no idea Of having swallowed them.
j. is remarkable that they had been
in the pharynx without causing her
any pain for over ten hours.--fNew

HON. JAMES JEFFRlES.
QUE CHOICE FOR CONGRESS-.

AS the time draws near for the
meeting of the Congressional Con-
vention in this District, the interest
of the pubic greatly increases. This
Convention will assemble at Natchi-
toches on Monday next.
As is we'll known, the choice of
Rapides is the Hon. James Jefries.
Without disparagement to his OPP
pouents from other Parishes, we are
positive that his nomination would
be received with more general salts
faction by the people of the District
at large, than any Of the several gen
tlemen whose names have thus far
been mentioned.
His friends in this Parish have
such assurances from prominent gen
tlemen throughout the District that
there is no room to doubt that he is
by far the most popular candidate.
Mr.. Jeffries is not a politician in
the common acceptation of the term,
nor is he an office seeker; his success
in public life is to be attributed to
his high. character, statesmanlike
views and consistent record.
The repeated honors which have
been conferred upon him came un-
sought, and were but the general
recognition of his great merit by the
people among whom he is best
known. It was with that sincere re-
luctance which is the characteristic
of the greatest purity, and the aver
sion to being regarded as contest
ant for political preferment, that he
consented to permit his friends to
press his candidacy in the present
canvass.
Possessing a fine presence and a
pleasing address, coupled with great
dignity and commanding talents, he
is eminently fitted to confer honor
upon the State, and to WELD great
influence in Congress. Extremely
conservative in his views, all classes
may repose in him the fullest
confidence.

OF SHREVEPORT,
DEAR PARD--

They tell me that you're hungry,
And that anguish clouds your brow
That yonr friends all pass you by,
And no one knows you now.
And the past before me rises,
And recalls to me day,
When you had piles of grub to eat,
And not cent to pay.
You thought that it would last,
Through all the coming years.
You thought not of the morrow,
So the future brought you tears.
Your life was all dream
OF something good to eat,
But alas the dream was broken,
And they bounced you for beat.
So then you tried to borrow,
But found it wouldn't do,
For the few that We're not busted,
Wouldn't even lend chew.
Many weeks and months had past,
And your sorrows you'd forgot,
When l met up with you, partner,
And-'you'd just lleve as not"
Well, old partner, here's my hand,
Through all that's thick and thin,
And if YOUR CHECKS N. G. o. E.,
I'VE got a little tin.
So take my arm, old fellow,
From your heart eject its weight,
For We'll stump the world together,
And take our whisky straight.
Yours, W. K. W.

IN our last we published that the
co!ored Democratic orator, Scott Cor
don OF Baton Rouge. would undertake
the fest recently accomplished by DR..
Tanner, that Of fasting for forty days.
Our readers 10 perusing the paragraph
did not at fret understand it's meaning.
Some Of them thought that he had CON-
mitted some dlsdemeanor, and would
serve out.a forty days sentence in the
Parish Jail; others that he would be
kept exiled out of the city, and would
not be for that length Of time, allowed
the privilege Of placing his feet on the
soil Of his native land. This was hard,
indeed, and we really felt for the poor
orphaned boy. We remembered him
we'll, and thought of the many times
that we had aeen him imbibe his quart
of whiskey, or devour his barbecued
mutton, tDemocraticMutt all at the
expense OF our party. We formed our

American fraud,) to use the words of
our confrere, had been kerhnmmaxed,

man who was to stand at SCOTS back
went back on him, and Scott, poor
creature that he was, went off on a
drunken tear. All bets were declared
off and the stakes were returned. We
verify believe that had it been forty
days drunk, Scott would have went
through like race horse.

Now, Mr.. Editor, what do you think
of an ex-President who, having been
ingloriously. defeated in an effort to
foist himself on the people for a third
term, undertakes to lead an organiza-
ton into the campaign that is to de-
eide who shall occupy the place Which
he vacated, and vainly tried to reach
sgain7 There is no fair man a any
party who will not think the less Of
General Grant for his effort to rally
the ex.soldiers Of the Union army and
organize them into "Boys in Blue"
clubs for campaign services. This
smacks of the Ward politicians and is
a fearful letting down of the head and
summit of the hnman race. The coun-
try would like to think we'll of General
Grant; the people have tried to over
look thousand evidences of ingram
ed littleness But he persists in let
sing himself down in the subj strata Of
politics. Think of a man with bis his
tory telegrapbing from Colorado an
order that the members for each State
of the National Committee of the
Union Veterans Association will at
once proceed to organize the ''Boys in
Blue" in their respective States to pro-
mote the election Of Garfield! The
organization of "Boys in Blue'' will
report to the Department Commanders
in their respective States! This is
rather diminutive potatoes for the
greatest living American. CHI.
