recovery are doubtful. The u Of the
shooting was an old grudge between the
parties. Bell several years ago shot a
man named Porterfold through both
arms In Eureka. .

--"ADyANCE AND RETREAT" is the
title Of the posthumous book of Cen
eral j. b. Hood, whose modest per-
sonal bravery was the admiration Of
every one during the late war. It is
a narrative of his personal experien.
ces in the Armies of the United
States and the Confederate States.
1t is very handsomely printed, octa-
70 size, containing $50 pages, with a
handsome photographic portrait in
full military costume, and a fine line
engraving Of the warrior in ci,izen's
dress. Both are excellent likenesses.
The book also has four ithographic
maps of battle fields. The price of
the book, handsomely bound in gray

A Vicious MULE. On Sunday eve.
ming, at about 4 o'clock, ON the cor
ner of Fifth and DeSoto streets, the
citizens in the vicinity were the wit
nesses of rather a novel incident. A
mule, belonging to one of our dray
men, attacked and mangled little
calf which happened to be standing
in his path; at one time raising him
clear from the ground and shaking
him as a terrier would a rat. The
little unfortunate was happily re
leased by one of the by-standers and
the mule driven of, or he would un
doubtedly have succeeded in killing
the little calf. To what can we at
tribute the v!ciousness of the mule
on the neutrality-suspicious., or
what? 1t is certainly the first oc.
currence of the kind within our ex-
perience.

"A LARGE fish, not of the catfish

ed out of the river, nearly opposite
our Office, measuring five feet, five
inches in length. Strange as it may
seem, neither hook nor line were
used in capturing this monster Of
the deep, for he was caught in new
way. The old darkey who shored
him, says he ''caught him mapping"
and he wrehched his thumb into one

ashore. Several persons witnessed

HAIL TO TIE CH1EF!--At meet
ing of the Fire Department, held on
Monday night, for the purpose of
elec,ing Chief and an Assistant
Chief, the companies turned out in
full force, and very lively interest
was manifested in the election. We
are glad to note that the best of
feeling prevailed and nothing oc
Cured to mar the harmony of the
occas ON. On the first ballot, with
out n mination. Mr.. William Rexer,
one t our most estimable citizens,
aud general favorite of the ''boys,"
haviI 6 received majority of the
votes cast, was declared eleced Chief.
The deafening applause with which
This announcement was greeted was
a felicitous approval of his selection,
and showed that he was indeed the
choice Of the Department. After
the applause had subsidized, the gen.
tlemsn arose and, after thanking the
mem' ers for this mark of appreci-
alton, very moiestly declined the po-
sition. Judge Thornton then arose
and $ ated that, as the gentleman had
been hosen, it was but fair to assume
that tue Department wished him to
fiji u e position, and did not think
he e uld refuse the position under
he circumstances, and ended by in
si-'ii g npon his acceptance of the
office. AS the Judge reflected the
sentiment of the Department, after
being urged, Mr.. Rexer finally con-
sen'ed to accept the position. His
election was then made unanimous.
On the FIRST ballot for Assistant Chief
the position was conferred upon our
sister city, Pineville, in the person OF
Mr.. John F. Graham.

The Free Lottery Bill has passe

THE Free Lottery Bill has passed
the State Senate, where it originated,
by decided majority, and goes at
once to the House, where there viii
be hard fight over it. Our new
Constitution has really licensed lot
teries in the case Of the Louisiana
State Lottery, and we can't see that
it is against good morals to grant a
license to as many as will pay $40,-
900 annually to the State for the
benefit of the Public Schools. This
is the matter in nutshell, and let US
get as many $40, 1000 for our schools
as we possibly can.

The PHYSICAL PAKADox.-It has
been said that "the blood is the
source of life" 1t is as truly the
source Of disease and death. No
life, that is to say, no healthy tissue
can be generated from impure blood,
no organ Of the body can normally
perform its functions when supplied
with impure blood. The fluid that
should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and die.

~ when it is pure. II It has become
diseased, it must be cleansed by
proper medication, else every pulsa-
ton Of the human heart sends

OUR MAILS.

An order has been issued from the
Post Office Department cutting down
the six times a week mail service,
from Red River Landing to Shreve-
port, to three times a week, and to
commence operations on the LIST day
Of April, 1880. At this peculiar
time we can scarcely imagine more
glaring outrage and injustice to the
people of the Parishes of Pointe Cou-
pee, Avoyelles, Rapides, Grant,
VIM, Natchitoches, Red River, De
Soto and Caddo, through whose ter
ritories this mail passes and whose
people are supplied by this large and
important route, than this indiscreet
and unnecessary mandate of the Pos,
Master General. We are surprised
and shocked at it, and are at a loss to
imagine why Mr.. Elan, our immedi
ate Representative, Judge Robertson,
and especially Mr.. Jonas, who is al.
ways alive to Louisiana's rights and
her peoples interests, should not
have prevented this injustice to our
people. But, we feel secure that ere
this they have managed to have the
obnoxious order revoked.
This change on this Route, besides
the injustice depicted above, falls
heavily and unjustly on the Contrac-
tor, who, in good faith and in obedi-
ence to his contract, has thoroughly
and completely stocked the roads, of
course, at heavy outlay of money,
AMI now that it is the very best land
route in the South, and working to
perfection, comes that revoking Or
der. Surely this is a great breach
of faith and a violation of contract
by the Post Office Department, and
looks like one sided bargain to suit
the whims and caprices of one party,
irrespective of the bounden rights of
the other. 1t looks bad for any De-
partment of the General Government
thus to use its tyrannicaI powers to
Cypress it's own Contractor, and in
jure its own people. We reiterate
that this order was entirely unneces
sary, without just cause, inficts
great harm and injustice to the Par
ishes named above, and should at
once be annnlle.l, revoked and ex-
plunged from the hooks of the Post
Office Department.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1880-03-31

I note in your issue of March "a,
a communication signed "Civis," in
which he arraigns both branches of
the General Assembly and the Gov
ernor of the State, for ignorance, or,
to say the least, of gross negligence
and carclessness. Allow me, Mr..
Editor, to corree, two errors, anu to
signify to "Civis" that we hatter
ourselves that we are as capable OF
interpreting the Constitution as he
lis. If "Ciyis" had read Article Al
of the Constitution, lie would have
seen in the latter part of the Article,
that flaws repeating local or special
laws may be passed"
His second error is, stating that
Gov. Willz very reluctantly vetoed
the bill, and not until two Of the
members of the Legislature request
ed him to do so, did he consent to
veto it. Now, Mr.. Editor, ] have
already stated in a previous commu
uication that he very cheerfully az
fixed his signature of disapproval as
soon as We explained to him the con-
dition of affairs. We waited on him
because it was necessary to explain
to him why he should veto it, for
had he approved it, which he GER
tally would have done, but for our
interference, it would certainly have
become law, "Civis" to the contra
ry, and Pineville would have been
deprived of her corporate rights,
which, am happy to say, we pre-
served to her by timely interference.
And now, MI. Editor, while perso-
,.al privileges are in order, l indig-
nantly repel the insinuation of as
terisk, e that "those who had been
delegated to represent Rapides, had
incontinentiy snubbed her" in not
getting the Supreme Court estab-
llshed at Alexandria. I used my ut
most endeavors, both before the
Committee and on the floor of the
Senate, to get Alexandria designated
as the point.
The Judiciary Committee decided
in favor of Shreveport, because the
Bar of all North Louisiana preferred
it, saying it was more convenient for
the few lawyers of Alexandria to at.
tend the Court in New Orleans, than
for that whole section to be com
PEELED to come to Alexandria. l on.
ly repeat this as their argument.
The report of the Committee was
unanimous, which made it entirely
unnecessary to make factious fight
on the floor of the Senate, single
handed and alone. The great un-
known, in his aspersions, on the
members of the General Assem-.
bly, for valuable time wasted aud
nothing done," reminds me of the
loud mou,hed frslde Generals who
existed during the war, who told
Generals Lee and Johnston how to
do it. Rest assured, Mr.. Editor,
that the Representatives Of Rapides
and Vernon, are doing their dut,
honestly and faithfully.
