MUsIc.-Our brass bands must have q
glorious treat in store for us ere long
if we are to judge from the nightly
practice going on. For two nights only
and for the amusement Of its proprietor
we suppose, there was quite an addi-
ton made to the towns music
corps by the Introduction, at one
Of our business houses lately, Of a
counter-mounted, glass nclosed, brass
front and back action fife and bass
cornet band, which under the skilled
management of profeients, is equaled
only by the far-famed, world-renowned
steam calliope. of the present centu-
~. We are witness to the fact that it
draws a good crowd, because, as we
were bending our steps homeward on
the first night itlplayed, we saw a group
Of ladies at d halt, taking advantage
Of opportunity by maintaining breath
less silence while from northern breezes
they caught each clear-sounding note
as it fell from the enchanted realm by
organic maneuvre.i We ought to have
one on every corner If we want to get
up d business boom. =

F
Woman's health is dependent upon
regular monthly uterine action. Inter-
fere with this grand function of female
life, and disease will be the legitimate
result. Nature demands regular action,
and her laws cannot be violated unless
at the expense Of health. This function,
this monthly secretion mast continue
from the age of puberty to the "turn of
life," without unnatural obstruction ;
and inattention to this fact has consign-
ed thousands of females to untimely
graves. A remedy for all these troub-
les has been prepared by the medical
profession which will relieve old and
young of these monthly excuses and
weaknesses; will restore nature; will
strengthen the weak and debilitated /;
will give rotundity and shape to the
lean and haggard, and will impart iron
to the impoverished blood. DR.. Drom-
coolies English Female Bitters is the
remedy and will do the work to salts

Our young men should organize a lit
erary society of some kind. In case a
move is made in that direction, we sug-
gest that it be not confined to the
young men, but. that an equal female at

cial Club OF something of the kind
is also needed. We want something to
get up boom among our young peo-
pie. Have dance, wedding, fight

Our town authorities have secured by
purchase from the railroad, and dona-
ton by Henry L. Garland, Esq, one
hundred feet front by seventy in depth OF
land at the depot, with which they in
tend to make kind of a park with
a row of trees in the centre by which
means vehicles going in will take either
fork of the road at the entrance and
going up to the depot can return to the
trees and 80 out when they see fit. In
other words, it is landing and turning

The lack of labor in the overfowed
part of this parish will cause no little
drawback to farmers moving back, as
many Of the colored people, we have
been informed, don't like the idea of
returning to the overfowed district.
While we advise all who have left
good homes to return, there are good
many large plantations here which
are sadly in need Of hands, where al
most any number can be aecommoda-
ted.

ELCHO.
A Dog Valued ut $4,000.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Times. writing of the recent Bench
Show in New York, says:
The best blood in dogs comes very
high, just as it does in other quadru-
peds. EIcho, the champion Irish set
ter, for instance, is valued at $4,000 by
his owner, DR.. William Jarvis, of
New Hampshire. To the uneducated
eye he does not look bit more valu-
able than an adjoining $50 pup, but he
is the finest product of much sought
after strain, hence his commercial val
ne. His sons and daughters are worth
their weight in greenbacks before their
eyes are open. A fire recently chased
DR.. Jarvis to fourth story window as
the only means of escape. He careful
ly lowered Elcho in a blanket before
he look out for himself Elcho is not
here in competition. Every dog has
his day, and he has been satisfied with
first prizes.
j. w. jackson, of Opelousas, owns a
son, and a granddaughter of Elcho, and
they are both fine specimens OF the
breed.
