The best strengthener Of mind and
body is Browns Iron Bitters. 1t is
very soothing IN its effect.
We were pleased to see here, Rev. DR..
FL. N. Strong, formerly the able and elo-
suent episcopal minister. His very
many friends were happy to extend him
hearty greetings.
We regret to learn OF the death OF
Marie Louise, the infant daughter OF
our valued friend, Oscar Arbour, which
occurred this morning. We tender him
and the unhappy mother our deep sym
patty.
Mrs. Mary Martin, of Harrisburg, Pa,
says: ~ suffered severely from com
plicatiOn of female diseases; that sense
Of bearing-down seemed as if it would
kill me; my habits were very irregular
nothing seemed to benefit me until |
tried Browns Iron Bitters. They acted
like charm, and now enjoy perfect
health.

Grand Master, James l.. Lobdell r.. W..

Nor A BAD IDEA.--If some of our llv-
cry stable keepers would make arrange
ments to have carriages or Jerseys abont
the landing, on the arrival of trains and
steamboats,, the travelling public would
be greatly accommodated, while the
stable men would doubtless be repaid
for their trouble. We noticed this fea-
ture at the railroad depOts at Donald
sonville, Plaquemine and Bayou Goula.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALFs.-While
the steamer Carrier was lying at our
wharf the Captain of the watch, negro,
brutalized some of the deck hands. He
went af. shortly afterwards, when a
splash was heard and he disappeared.
He was found on Tuesday near the coal
feet with head battered and throat cut.
A deck hand ran ashore after the occur
renee and disappeared in the darkness.
He is, Of course, the supposed murderer.
On Tuesday evening the Charlie Wood
received the remains OF Mrs. VIM. Wood,
che lamcntcd accomplished young lady,
who, by the decree of the Almighty,
was taken away from her grieving hus-
band aud little ones, on Monday night.
The remains will be embalmed in New
Orleans and conveyed to Pittsburg for
interment. The family of the deceased

NIFTY in their unmeasurable bereavement
An English authority affirms that
malarial diseases have increased since
the general use of ice water. A large
proportion of the ice being taken from
small streams and ponds, the water in
which is impure. The water formed
from this ice has no unpleasant taste
or smell when it il very cold, but is
quite offensive when it becomes warm.
It is likely that the ice holds particles
of substance that are highly injurious
when taken into the system,
IN pRiNT.-It is - well known fact
that it is human for people TO feel fiat
tered by seeing their names appear in
print. Taking this view the City Coun-
ell, ct its last meeting, adopted a reso-
luton instructing the official papers to
publish synopsis OF the cases tried be-
fore the Mayors Court. The rule, there
fore, is an memorable one and every one
who appears before the Mayor will have
his name transmitted to posterity, We
can't say that themeasure will bs popu-
lar with those thus handed down.
An ENJOYABLE AFFAIR.--On the oc-
casion of the debut of Miss Mamie Nc
Cnllef, her mother Mrs. James McCul-
len gave party on last Tuesday night
to the many young friends of her char
ming daughter. The dancing under
the strains of Pages Band, began at
9 O'clock. At A. ". the numerous
guests were invited to partake OF an
elegant supper, after which dancing
was resumed until it became time for
''the boys to go home with the girls in
the morning" All those present are
loud in praising the generous hospitality
of Mrs. and Miss McCullen.
