+. OUR. TELEPHoNE.-This scribe
is the owner of a pretty and nicely
working telephone, the only one in
Alexandria, and has it stretched
from his residence to that of his
associates, q distance Of about three
hundred feet. We now have some
thing to occupy our leisure mo-
ments, 1--WE mean those on Sunday
after we have attended our duties
as q christian, and carefully perused
our many valuable and interesting
exchangcs.) If we keep growing
richer we'll continue our line to the
DEMOCRATS sanctum, and thence
to the different depots and hotels
in oar city, and want the whole
population to use it, free of charge.
It's a great accommodation, and
saves walking, besides being very
rapid. For a lover, who is not al
lowed the home of his beloved, it's
just the thing, and can't be beat,
and we invite our young friends to
come and try it. We are somewhat
joyful, to say the least, at being the
possessor of one of these most per-
feet Of recent inventions.

The aronunts opposite the years
1883 and 1882 are placed with that
of this years taxes for the reason
that no assessments were made on
property included in above amount
through oversight of the Assessor,
and hence are collectable this year.
The amount total for assessment
of 1884 exceeds that Of 1883 by
1913, 652, aud when it is taken into
consideration that none of the over
flowed lands have been assessed,
and that a reduction of s53, 900 has
been made on property Of the Tex
as and Pacific Railway, we think.
the figures of 1884 large, indeed,
and shows that a proper assess
ment has been made. Mr.. Long,
in his capacity as Deputy Parish
Assessor of Rapides has taken great
pains and has tried to be correct in
every particular. Would that 9TH
er Parishes could boast of such
efficient and painstaking officers
as he.

The stomach and Infection.

Youths Companion: 1t has long been
q popular belief that q watcher with a full
stomach was comparatively safe in the
sick-room, and that one exposed to infec-
ton with an empty stomach was in great
danger Of taking it. These views, the re
suits of accumulated experience, are sub
stantially true. Science accepts u e1'
plains them. As we nave had occasion re-
peatedly to say, many infectious diseases
are due to bacteria microscopic plants)
received into the system with the breath.

Cholera is found to be due to q kind oil
bacteria, one of whose characteristics ii
that they penetrate deeply into the coats
Of the intestine, thus, doubtless, produc-
ing more destructive disorganization and
being not SO easily reached with remedies
The bacteria can be readily destroyed by
various acids, provided they can bt
| reached.
Now, when these diseases are prevailing,
thousands of persons may take the bacte
ria into their systems with entire safety
What is the explanation? II is that sug
| gested above. A vigorous stomach, in
state of activity, digests them as freely al
it does larger vegetables. The gastric
| juice itself is acid. and is thus destructive
to their life. Hence, since an empty
stomach does not secrete gastric juice, il
allows the bacteria to pass on unframed
in the alkaline portion of the intestine.

rHg PRESIDENCY.

The great battle is still undetermined.
The Presidency is hanging in doubt on
the result in New York. New Jersey
and Connecticut are Democratic. New
York City and Brooklyn give Cleveland
about 81, 1000 majority. In l.60O and
odd precincts outside Of these cities,
Blaine has "a, 922 majority. This leaves
him over 5000 behind with less than
400 precincts to hear from. 1t will be
seen that there is still a little
show for the election of the
Democratic ticket. We know nothing
of the political complexion OF the pre-
cincts still to be heard from. But ad.
hitting them to be Republican, are they
sufficiently SO to overcome the 5000 re-
auired to carry the State This Is the
question remaining to be settled. The
SENTINEL. will not surrender New York
and the Presidency until fuller returns
are received. At this writing we believe
that Cleveland has carried New York
and is to be our next President.

FEvERIsH EXCITEMENT.

The q~uadrennial excitement under
which the country has been laboring ior
the past three months is now rapidly
abating. Even the candidates who are
defeated must feel that a surcease OF the
anxiety that has agitated them a relief.
We as a nation tend, it is said, almost
naturally to politics. We are nervous,
restless, and ambitious and aggressive,
and too much like that man who never
was at peace except when in a fight. We
have asked ourselves time and again
whether all the turmoil, pickering, and
ofttimes bad blood, if not ~bloodshed,
pays? Does it pay even the successful
candidate ? and il he reaps a temporary
advantage does it in the end promote his
permanent benefit? These are questions
which must give a pause. W. all have
seen how very frequently it is the case
that a man, elected by his fellow-citizens
to fill some one of the minor offices, has
been by the little elevation absolutely
ruined for life. 1t has broken up the
routine Of his business, no matter what
it has been, and too frequently untitled
him for a return to it. He at first
thinks himself as one favored Of the
gods, and when his brief, official term
is ended, is all too unwilling to return to
private life. If the people tire Of him,
or a more popular candidate looms up,
and he is thrust aside, he thinks gross in.
justice is lone him, that merit is no Longer
appreciated, and he retires sullen and
morose. We therefore doubt whether
politics either privately or nationally
pays, taking a philosophical view Of th'
subject. But our aim in commencing
this article was merely to say that W.
believe it would tend to the welfare o
the nation at large were our great Presi
dental agitations to come less frequently
