TWIN SPRING BED.

E z
This is without doubt the CHEAPEST,
BEST and most DURABLE SPRING ever
offered to the public, and is as far SUI
perior to any Bed in the market as
smooth Nicholson pavement is superior
to the corduroy roads of our fathers.
Some of the advantages of this Spring
over all others are: 1t is clean, noise
less and strong. Each Spring is made
of the best BEssEMER SPRING STEEL.
and having an individual strength of
SIXTY POUNDS. The body rests as
smoothly and evenly upsn this Spring
as swan floats upon the water, andali
and heavy person sleeping in the same
bed does not cause it to sag, as with Slat
or Woven Wire Beds. This is the only
Spring in the market that can be adjus-
ted to any bed and moved from one bed
to another with the same ease that you
can move ordinary Stats. 1t makes a
smooth even surface for the mattress to
rest upon, with no ends to chafe and
wear the mattress. This bed we guar
antee to be Noiseless, Elastic and Adj
Unstable; to be hard or soft at the will
Of the occupant, (by simply adding or
removing few Springs, which can be
done in five minutes,) and to fit the
body in all its parts and positions, and
not to give way any strain, each spring
being severely tested before used. No
back ache in this bed.

RAILWAY TRAINS, from the proposed
lepot opposite Baton Rouge, tits said,
will be running to New Orleans, via the
Pacific Road within ninety days. Our
.itizens can therefore expect to see the
sunday excursion parties from the CreS-
eut City daring the spring and summer
uonths. Indeed Baton Rouge offers
reat attractions to visitors, lis shady
garrison grounds for Pic Mics, the Booth
srOyc, Just outside of the city, the finest
ak grove i'll the State, the Capitol, the
University, the National Cemetery, the
emtentiary, the battle ground are
faces that will greatly interest our city
lends, when on Il jaunt to the High
nd city. BY its connection with
atom Rouge, the Pacific Road will
rike a source of revenue that had not
,en thought about, we dare say. The
oner the Baton Rouge section is con-
ructed the better will il be for the
mpany and the travelling public.

MAIL SERVICE WITH RED RIVER LAND
ING.-The daily mail service to Donald
sonville, per the dainty propeller Morn
ing Star, has proven such a complete
success and great accommodation to the
residents Oh the banks of the river that
our citizens have petitioned the Post
Office Department to place just such an
other boat as the Morning Star, to take
the mails upon their arrival here from
Donaldsonville and convey them to the
different PostOttices as far up as Red
River Landing. That arrangement
would give the best and quickest mail
facilities ever established on the lower
Mississippi With line OF stages to
Clinton, connecting with the little mail
steamers, Baton Rouge, the State Capt.
tai would become a point OF Interchange
or distribution of mails to the great con
venience of the people Of many parishes.
These swift propellers in the mail ser
vice, which convey passengers from one
Postottice to another at cheap rates, be-
sides delivering mails are destined soon
to become an attractive feature Oh the
Mississippi There is no reason why an
uubroken chain Of these Could not be
formed all the way to Cairo.

We came very near not getting up on

the reason that on yesterday, Mr.. Hand

Real estate in Baton Rouge is steadily
advancing in price, and ere long it will
reach figures that no one dreams of.
There isn't place in the South, in our
humble opinion, that offers such induce
ments as this city, for the investment Of
capital. We have behind us the most
fertile highlands in the State from which
cane, cotton, vegetables and fruits of
all kinds are raised. The Capital, the
railroads, the picturesque and healthful
site of Baton Rouge are going to double
its population in less than five years;
else weare blind or crazy.

The santa ra Collision

Capital: The collision Tuesday week
on the A., T. & S. F. r. r., three miles
east of Topeka, resulted in the almost
total destruction of two engines, eleven
cars were totally demolished, and fully
90 head of cattle killed, the others es-
Gaping over the country, some of which
are yet at liberty, and some being found
ten miles away. The two engines were
about of equal size and weight, and in
stead of one going on top the other they
went "into" each other and the cars be-
hind each followed their example. and
the terrible destruction of engines, cars,
cattle, and freight followed, probable
loss to the company of $4,000. 1t was
difficult TO find pieces of many of the
cars large enough to tell their numbers.
The cattle were medium Texans and
belonged west. The dead ones were sold
to Messrs. Maxwell and BischoH, butch
ers of Topeka, who will use them for
rendering purposes. The disaster was
the result of the west bound conductor
and engineer misunderstanding dis
patch. A temporary track about 100 feet
in length has been put down around the
wreck, and trains pass over the tempo
rary structure at snail's pace. The or
ders dispatched the conductor were to
"run to Spencer regardless of any other
train" and both conductor and engineer
read it run to Topeka, the 49," resemb-
ling "T." Mr.. Carpenter, the west
bound engineer, was greatly affected by
the accident. He has had thirteen years.
experience, and this is his first accident.

him read know just how he read it.
Elder Rice next gave us a very prac-
tical talk on school work. He thought
he was qualified to give advice because
he was not a teacher. He went upon
the principle that one knows more about
another's business than his own, or at
least he always thought so.

Our Reading correspondent furnished
us another case of shooting last week.
This time the victim made his escape,
and the effects of his injuries were not
sseertained. His name was not known,
nor his mission, but being suspicious"
looking he was fired upon by farmer
and at least wounded. The other day a
servant girl was fired upon in the same
nighborhOOd and fatally wounded by a
man who fancied there were burglars in
the house and who discharged his revol-
yer at retreating object in the darkness,
with the result indicated. This is an al
together unwarranted use OF firearms,
and deserves the attention of the au.
thorities. Human life should be held
too sacred TO allow any man who chooses
TO open fire upon any one he deems a
suspicious character" 1t may furnish
balm for mans conscience to know when
he has killed an innocent party, that
he did so through a mistaken concep
ton that persons identity, but to the in
dividual Stayed OF TO the relatives il
matters nothing how the death was
brought about. II is the mission of Law
to put the highest possible protection
upon property and life, and if no otheI
means will avail, in such cases al
these, the Guiteaus and other easily ex
cited shooters with poor judgmen
should be rendered harmless by spec
ial statute providing against their car
rying arms.
