FULLILOvE's BAYOU CLOSED
Yesterday we learned from Mr.. Ben.
johnson that he had closed Fulli
loves bayou, where it broke some
time since, and overlooked Mr.. John
A. Skannals and other plantations
at and in the vicinity of Chalk Level,
on the Bossier side of the river, a
short distance below this city. Mr..
johnson informs us the water is run
ming off rapidly, and in a few days
the lands will be in good condition
for blowing. Of course work on the
places lately overflowed, because of
the breaking or caving in of the
levee across Fullilove's bayou, will

st. Landry Democrat: "Dogs
were made property in this State,
by an act of the Legislature in 1858.
We do not see why an act of the
Legislature should be necessary to
make dogs property, any more than
it is to make horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, etc., property. When per-
son oaoas a dog, it is certainly his
property; ownership, ipso facto,
makes property of anything. Dogs
are property beyond doubt; but
some object to the taxation of dog
property. Horses and even persons
are taxed; why should not dogs be
There is no reasonable reason to the
contrary; and according to Governor
McEnery's instructions to assessors,
they are bound to assess dogs. They
should be taxed ad ualorem, or by
poll tax of fifty cents or one dollar
each. Being property, the law
makes it imperative that they shall
be taxed; and the resulting benefit
OF taxing them will be, fewer dogs
and a little better quality.n

Salt the Stock.

Petersburg Index-Appeal.l
Do not omit sailing the stock for
single week at a time at this or
any other season. It is of the great
est Importance for all stock-horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs-and especial
ly SO in sections remote from salt
marshes and saline soils. Its action
is tonic and medicinal, Importing
appetite and tone to the stomach and
vigor to the general system. A hand
ful of salt to sheep or cattle when
grazing, or feeding on damaged hay,
would often prevent or cure colic.-
Mich cove need it constantly, es-
pecially in spring. 1t improves their
milk and reduces it's tendency to be-
come sour. Hogs often need it also.
This animal gets less salt from his
owner IMAM any other class of stock,
and this is one reason why cholera is
so destructive among them of late
years. Be sure you salt your stock
at intervals of eightor ten days. A
better plan is, to keep Jumps ofrock
salt in troughs within their reach at
all times. They will lick little
daily, perhaps, and fare all the bet
ter for it. No animal can 60 without
salt great while without injury
A material so cheap and so necessa-
ry ought to be allowed them in
abundance. 1t is doubly important
to cattle having access to abundance
of green and succulent food. Give
your animals salt.

THE ". q T
The Luckiest Railroad fn h
United States.
Virginia Chroni


The result OF the railroad accident yes
terday adds another confirmation to the
statement that the Virginia & Truckee is
the luckiest road in the country. During
the IL years the line has been running no
passengers have been killed or seriously
injured, except as the result Of their W
carelessness. There have been startling
accidents on the road n numerous mar
row escapes. Trains have plunged
through herds OF cattle dn one instance
the passenger train killed over a dozen
cows at Ophir, which were lying on the
track; engines have been smashed and
train men killed and mangled in every
imaginable way, yet there seems to have
been a cherub sitting aloft taking care Of
the lives OF the railroad passengers. And
with o singular lack Of prejudice all have
Jared alike, whether paying travellers or
persistent riders on passes. OF all OF he
noble army OF ~deadheads which has made
numerous flying incursions on railroad
territory during the past decade, not one
has had so much as 8 finger pinched or a
toe jammsd. In fact it has been safer to
ride on the rails between this city and
Reno than to stay at home. As il is a long
lane that has no turning, it is not likely
that this remarkable immunity from acct
dents to passengers can long continue,
much as it is to be desired.
