sections of the republic, regardless of
rank, class or party, sharing alike in

Bossier Banner: 1t is said by those
who have investigated the matter that
the prohibition laws in Maine and Yer
mont are total failure. 1t is as easy
to get whisky in these two States,
where the laws are 50 strict, as it is
where whisky shops are licensed.
Bossier Banner: Every town in
Louisiana should have a reading
club. Every town or village should
have a circulating library. With a
we'll selected library much good can be
done in the way Of self-culture. Let
the aim be the cultivation of the mind
and not to indulge too much in idle
gossip. Let the library, however small,
contain no trash, but the best books of
their kind.

committee of arrangements, which has
been in session in this city, adjourned this
afternoon. The proceedings were harmon
ious and the attendance large. The fair
viii be held at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in No

machinery, and implements, dairy cattle
and models of creameries and cheese facto-
ries. The committees invites all dairy as
sociations and Boards of Trade to partici-
pate; and exhibits of products and imple-
ments are solicited. Several thousand dol
lars in cash premiums will be awarded, an d
butter and cheese manufacturers through
out the State, are expected to compete.

He said he travelled under an assumed

to revolutloniZe the country, but to inves
tigate certain points. He intends to re

physicians, makes the announcement of a
fact which must greatly intensity public in
terest in the Presidents case, and add to
the sorrowful features of it If the Executive
should yet prove a victim to the assassin
The news relates to the condition of Mrs
Garfield This lady, as the public already
know, has been very i'll ever since her ad
vent to the White House. Her sickness dates
almost from Inauguration day. At the time
the President was shot Mrs. Garfeld's
condition was SO critical that the physi-
clans who attended her at Long Branch all
but despaired of her recovery After her
recall to Washington by Guiteau's crime,
the true character of the lady, being so
strongly appealed to, asserted itself. and
from that time she has apparently been
much better 1t is now announced that it
is expected that in November next Mrs
Garfield viii again become mother. Mrs
Garfield was married to the President in
1858, in her 23rd year, and in his 9th.
She is now in her 46th year When it is
stated that Mrs. Garfield's case was entirely
misunderstood up to the time of the
attempted assassination, that only at that
time was its real nature known to her and
the President, the special enormity of
Guiteau's act becomes apparent.

THE LETTERS ARE voUcHED FOR
HEIR APPARENT.

ST. Louis, Aug. 16.-Senator Dan
Voorhees, is stopping in ST. Louis over
night on private business. In an inter-
view he said: 'I look upon Garfield's s
death as a most unmitigated misfortune, a
calamity to himself, his family, and the
country. / do not mention the misfortune
to his party, because any misfortune to
the republicans would be a blessing to the
country The circumstances that must
follow his death would be deplorable, and
it must be source of grief and pain to
any man who contemplates them to see
that one weak and almost exhausted life is
all that can forestall them.
'You do not look forward to Arthur's
presidency with much hopefulness" he
was asked.
mo, indeed, do not. regard it with
great distrust; and ] hope that no such
misfortune viii occur. 1t would be most
unfortunate for the country genarally."
''In what way?'
'sWell / hardly care to discuss this mat
ter | have spoken great deal about IT,
and am still of the same mind. In the
first place, know that Arthur is a man
utterly incapable of fulfilling the duties OF
the office properly. In the second place,
know that he is in the hands of faction
who will do all in their power to control
him and swerve him towards their ends and
purposes Thirdly, | know that he is
man who could be controlled without dfii-
Guilty"
"You look upon his presidency, then. as
a national misfortune?'
ssOh, it would be very bad, very bad.
hope it may be averted. We can not
afford to have Conkling at the head of
affairs, which would be what it would
amount to. Mr.. Arthur is not the man for
the place His friends, who will become
his advisers, are not the proper men to
control this nation. The result woul be
deplorable. .
