We.p.bIish to.da:. a letter from
DR.. L. W. McLeroy. Representative
Of Richland parish in the General
Assembly Of Louisiana; and in this
connection it is but just to him and
ourself to say that his letter to The
Times Democrat escaped our notice,
or we should either have copied it or
stated the substance Of its contents.
We do not presume that the doctors
honesty has ever been called in ques-
ton, and we have thought all along
that it was an oversight in him to re-
ceive the extra mileage. His expla-
nation that the account was already
made out, with the mileage added in,
throws light on this matter that
makes the impression upon our "iud
that there must have been an intention
on the part Of some party to set a
trap for the country members and
bring reproach upon them. There
are other things in connection with
this matter, but which We have not
sufficient authority to name, that serve
TO strengthen this impression.
There is no doubt but that the
State has been defrauded of large am
mounts in various ways that have
never been brought to light, and that
thousands Of dollars ore withheld
from the State government by fraudu-
lent assessments; but big wrongs do
not justify small ones. 1t is as crimi.
nal to wilifully misappropriate twenty
dollars as twenty thousand dollars.
Our Representative says that, after
due reflection, he determined TO re.
turn the extra mileage received by
him and we fully believe what be
says, for we have no reason or right
to disbelieve him. He is a gentleman
Of honor, enjoying the confidence o.
,he people who elected him to the
posi.ien he occupies. and whom We
have always found to be honorabl.
and upright in his private dealing.
with Us and so far - We are coDcorn
ed, we ore perfectly satisfied with hi:
explanation.

How 10 Melt Rabbit Metal.

I wish TO say few words in refer
eIice to the treatment Of Babbit AMI
other similar anti friction metals.
Workmen who are unaccnstomed to
mixing or treating metals while i'm a
liquid state, will generally melt such
metal upon blach smiths forge, by
applying heat 30 rapidly that the la
die will become red hot before the
metal within 1t begins tn melt. When
II has melted a dross rises TO the sur
face and is skinned oft by the work
men and thrown away. This skim
ming process is kept up as long as the
ladle Is Kept on the fire. Now such a
course Is all wrong, because, by ap-
plying heat to suddeily, the metals
which fuse ut lower degrees of heat
sweat ont. and are burned before tho e
which melt at higher temperatures
become lluid.
The dross, as II is commonly called,
which rises TO the surface, is in many
cases the antimonv or hardening prop
erty of the alloy, nnd should not be
thrown away. The surface of the met.
al should be kept covered with fine
charcoal, which will prevent oxida-
ton. A small lump of sal-ammo mac
should also be kept upon the surface
Of the metal. The metal should al
wavs be stirred before pouring, o her
wise the heaviest metals " i'll separate
and sink TO The bottom OF the ladle,
and n constantly varying quality of
metal will he the result.
BY melting the metal slowly and
keeping il properly flnxed as de-
scrlbed. it will run sharp, each east
ing will be found uniform throughout
and the metal be OF equal hardness.
In observing these simple precautions
much OF the dissatisfaction now ex-
perienced in using Babbit and other
anti friction metals will disappear,
AMI the metal not be condemned be-
cause il simply oheys the laws of ma
ture and separates when improperly
treated.-[L. +. Lyme, in American
Macbinisi.

| very soon real love, and mot gratitude,
which she felt toward her preserver.
As time wore on, and Mr.. Heath kept
away from the house, Laura began to feel
that she had lost him; women are tar
keener judges in these matters than men.
She recognized that he loved her still, but
she felt that before the accident ne had
seen that she had only been playing with
him, and now believed that at least she
felt only gratitude. Poor Laura was real
ly unhappy. She wanted TO make him
happy-yes, to be happy herself-but her
former trifling stood between them as
barrier. which she knew the clergyman
would never break dewn. 1t is impossible
to say what would have been the result OF
this. had not an event occurred which
changed the whole current of their lives.
The rector was walking in his garden
one Saturday morning. for once not think
ing of Laura he was arranging the heads
of his next mornings sermon. when he
was startled BY dull. heavy, muffied ex-
plosion in the valley. and saw cloud Of
smoke ascend from the hollow in which
was Mr. Haines's colliery. He ran straight
down to the pit. Scarcely five minutes
had elapsed since the explosion, but al
ready the miners wives and families were
gathered about the shaft. Won n were
there wringing their hands and screaming
wildly. Some sat in stony despair. gazing
at the fatal shaft, others had tainted, and.

There are nigh sixty Den and boys

the other shaft; about twenty have come
up there, but | fear there is no hope for
the rest The rope is down now, but no

At this moment boy ran up and spoke

Dear Sir-I was for twenty-four years seri-

sulting from my being weakened by Rheumatic
Fever. employed nearly every physician in
this city during this time, and paid over a
thousand dollars to them for their attendance
and medicine 1 could fill barrels with the
empty bottles of the stun l have taken. My
colds and I had hemOrrhages quite often,
sometimes raising as much as pint OF blood
l had pain in my back and chest so bad that at
times thought would die. could not even
get relief from the medicines took. l had
night sweats so severe that was compelled 70
change my under clothing two or three times
a day. l was SO Weak that would not only
sweat at night but through the day would
have cold clammy sweats that made me feel
very bad. Several times my friends were sent
for, my family thinking that would soon die.
While In this condition read your adver-
tisement in the Journal of this city. and your
method OF treatment seemed so reasonable that
! concluded to try once more to get relief at
least. 1 began by using your Pills Tonic and
Pulmonic Syrup, and in q very short time be-
gan to feel much better. By the time had
used a dozen bottles OF the Pulmonic Syrup

my lungs became much infamed. and finally was

could do nothing for. At last, through the advice
oil my employer, Mr.. Thomas Vaughan, began 10
use Dr. Schenek's Pulmonie Syrup and Seaweed
