Editor DEMOCRAT:
This is Easter Sunday, and day that
will long be remembered by the citizens
living in this vicinity. This morning
broke forth by an almost clear sky, and
sunshine came to an end by the hardest
rainfall it has been our lot to witness
for years, and probably never noticed
here before. At two o'clock in the
evening deep, dark clouds were moving
over us from the southwest, rain soon
began to fall, it seemed to be a perfect
sheet of water pouring down, while one
continuous glare of lightning flashed
through the air, sending off crash after
crash of thunder, then the deep, rumb-
ling as it wore away off, like the roar
of distant artillery, enough to make one
fear that some great calamity was near
at hand, the wild winds blew almost a
hurricane, twisting, whirling and roar
ing, carrying away the branches OF for
est trees, tearing down fence not Sc
curely set to the earth, all was sublime
but terrific, showing the great power
that rules the universe. For space OF
near two hours thisavalanch OF rain fell
agingled now and then with hail. so
ended Easter Sunday for 1882.
Yours, JOHN O'SHANE.

A bees sting is only fourth of an
inch long. A very small and insigniti-
can't thing, yet it leaves warm i'm
preston Of about two feet, and there's
nothing stingy about the sensation
either. A certain merchants wife
danced to late hour one night-be-
came overheated, and returned home in
a thin dress. Next morning she had a
severe headache and general pains and
aches in her bones and the joints. She
and her husband considered it a trivial
affair. and thought of no serious results.
The next few days she became much
worse aad doctor was called in. He
failed to find out the cause Of suffering,
and only prescribed for the fever and
headache. She recovered only after
two years suffering, and was then cured
by the use of DR.. Droomgoole's English
Female Bitters. One bottle of this
wonderful female regulator would have
cured her during the first few days.

tions necessary for any real civilization
at all. They have lived in an impover
ished way, in certain state OF life IN
which the only opening for any I'M

own country" After giving his views
taking up near an entire column OF the

put him down emphatically as nome

trmness for one thing. That is home
rule for Ireland, and the lands for the
poor as well as the rich. He thinks the
government of England should pur-
chase the large estates and sell to the
poor hard worked peasant on long
credit and at "A rate low enough to be
paid for without starving e to do so. for
our part we say Ireland for the lrlsh'
and Ireland a Republic, no English to
rule Ireland. That land air and

be owned in common for the good OF

Milk in New England States retails at
four cents quart, and it is good milk.
Here in Louisiana it retails for ten
cents a quart, and as a usual thing it is
bad milk. In the New England States
they build barns at q great cost, and
five months of the year the stock is fed
with cut hay, meal, bran and vegetables.
In Louisiana the cattle. get what they
find both in shelter and in food; still
they make more money at four cents In
the North, than they do for ten cents IN
the South [Farmerville Gazette.

Meht ns mortgage. On the
ground that equity forbids the use
OF the deed as conveyance where the par
tics only designate it to operate as a So
curity, parol evidence is allowed to show
1hat such was the intention of the parties.
whilst hesitating (says the learned Judge,
deiiyering the opinion of the COURT in
reaching any conclusion, he is individually
nnciined to the opinion that the practical
effect OF such stipulation us to possession
is TO make the conveyance imperative at
the option OF the grantors, should no iudr
ment be rendered against the sureties." If

The evidence being positive that moneyed
consideration was to be paid il there were
no recovery, show that the validity of the
sale was not dependent on the recovery. A
hxcd price was agreed upon and an abso.
s@te conveyance made. The court say; On
dence are insufficient to establish that no
sale was intended, but merely an arrange.

children seemed necessary. Heavy
burdens are still placed upon many lit
tie children in multitudes of miserable
tenements, where both father and
mother are forced to strain every
nerve to earn the daily bread. This Is
sad. but perhaps inevitable in such
cases.
But how Is it in mole prosperous
homes? Are fathers and mothers

Mother, are you not demanding too

the table, washing the dishes, sweeping,
busting, ironing, and carrying in her
young arms the chubby baby2
"What!" you ask: "when there is
SO much to do, are not the children to
help" Most certainly. 1t is their duty
to help willingly; it is yours to see that
they do not work too much-too long at
time. Better leave something undone
than to "make Jack a dull boy" bet

to see your little girl, in her young days,
overwhelmed with multiplied household
cares.
