The unauimity with which the
Democratic State Ticket is sup
ported throughout the State augurs
we'll for the success of the Democra
~ in Louisiana. There is really
no practical opposition shown in any
portion of the State.
The Democratic party Of Louis
lana is firmly united in this State.
The Republicans, fondly imagin
ing that the howlings of Il few
chronic grumblers, Indicate q dis
ruption in the ranks of the dom'
nant party are seriously consulting
about placing candidates in nomina
ton, deluded with the idea that
about IS or 1Oo .disaffectted Demo
Gratis can enable their party to pull
through.
And they desire TO place War
moth ut the head of their ticket.
Oh ye Gods and little fishes. Place
Warmoth in opposition to McEn
cry and 10000 votes will he cast
for McEaery that perhaps will not
be cast otherwise.
Do those Radical bummers imag
inc that the people of Louisiana
have forgotten the reign of War
moth and Kellogg7 McEnery will
be the next Governor Of Louisiana,
and viii! beat any ma that can be
put against him 10000 votes. The
voters who see the difference in
prosperity now and that which
characterised the Radical Regime
will know how to vote.

A Republican Senate is about to

A Republican Congress in 1888
did reduce the Tariff on Sugar, and
now, by the aid of a few Democrats
propose to still further lower that

Let the colored people speak to the

New York World


In the front end of the same car with me
as l was coming over from Boston the other
night, sat Gen. i. +. Butter. No5ody had the
slightest knowledge that he was aboard the
train until, about an hour out OF New York,
lie got up and went to the rear end of the
car for II drink. The old gentleman is aging
very rapidly. noticed as he went through
the car, and again as he was being helped
into his carriage, that he walked with a limp
Of a very decided kind, and that 1t was hard
for him to move about ut all without assist
ance. In the car he sat all huddled down In
u heap, aud tho only time he paid the
slightest attention to anything going on about
nim was when he turned and talked for a
few moments, of his own v~olition, to n gray
haired man who sat behind him. l could not
help rejecting upon the extreme probability
that IL the man had opened the conversation
with Gen. Butler, insteaI Of having hal it
opened by that doughty warrior, he would
probably have been taken up with a pretty
short turn.
Butler is queer about some things. Worse
than anything, he hates to ave his privacy
intruded upon. II he chooses to open his bat
teries OF conversation on anybody else, that
is altogether another matter. / judged the
other night that he didn't find the gray
haired gentleman very entertaining company.
At any rate, after two or three sentences had
been spoken he plunged back into a corner,
pulled his big gray cap over his face, and
played possum. When we reached New
York saw for the first time that Buffers
colored man Friday was with him. The man
doesn't bother himself much about waiting
on his master. He never so much as offered
to take down his hat for him from the peg
where it hung, but said, in a gruf tone,
"There it is, up there" and Benjamin turned
meekly and put it OF without Il word.

retard old age Is |. the first place to endeavor
as far as possible to counternct the excessive
action of atmospheric oxygen; secondly, to
retard the deposit of ossific matter and as far
ms possible to dissolve the partially formed
calcareous concretions. Distilled water and
diluted p~hosphoric acid are believed by Mr..
de Lacy Evans to nave the desired effect.
When considering their special action we
cannot but fully coincide with him as to
their efficacy in retarding old age by their
combined chemical action
Now distilled water alone has a powerful
action owing to its solvent properties,
thereby dissolving and excreting the excess
OF earthly salts which otherwise would be-
come blocked up in the system, gradually
storing up those ~blockages which in time
cause old age. The solvent properties OF dis
titled water are SO great per 30 that on dis
~tillation In vessels it actually dissolves small
particles OF them. Now the generality of
waters contain more or less carbonate OF
lime, and are to be avoided, especially those
from chalky soils, tending us they do to pro-
duce calcareous deposits Thu action of dis
titled water as q beverage is briefly as fol-
lows: First, its absorption into the blood is
rapid; second, it keeps soluble those salts al
ready existing in the blood, thereby preclud-
ing their undue deposit; third, it facilitates
in q markell degree their elimination by
means of excretion- After middle life a
daily use OF distilled water Is highly bene-
hcial to those DESTROYS of retarding old age,
and it is also n useful adjunct for aYerting
stone in the bladder and kidneys.
TO CHECK L AGE.
Lastly we have TO deal with the special
beneficial action OF diluted phosphoric acid
when mixed with distilled water and con-
suIned daily. II well diluted with distilled
water 1t is perhaps the most powerful means
known to science for suspending old age.
Diluted phosphoric acid possesses the follow
ing merits: 1t prevents the accumulation Of
earthly salts and also facilitates their elimina-
ton. Secondly, by its great affinity for
oxygen these fibrinous and gelatinous deposits
previously alluded to are held in allegiance by
its use. Thus by its double agency, com.
bined with distilled water, we have q most
valuable preventive against tho primary
causes of old age, which its daily use holds in
check. Hypophosphites are believed TO exer-
else a like action, as on becoming ~phosphates
through fixing the oxygen from the blood,
undue oxidation waste of tissues Is to a
great extent prevented.
To sum up shortly what has already been
advanced, according to the teachings OF
modern science the most rational and certain
means of retarding old age are by avoiding
all foods rich in the earth salts, and by TAX
ing daily two or three tumblerfuls of dis
titled water with about ten to fifteen drops
Of diluted phosphoric acid in each glassful.
Thus are the inimical salts held in solution
and their excretion daily affected Tho
means herein advocated hive also another
great advantage, viz, that they cannot pos
sibly do any harm

ArrER Ovet twenty years Of watehin.

AFTER over twenty years of watching
and waiting, twenty years filled with re-
bluffs, humiliations and shattered hopes,
General Fitz John Porter has finally
achieved the dearest ambition Of his life
in the passage of the bill for his relief by
both houses of Congress. History af-
fords but very few examples of pertinacity
under the most trying ordeals that will
2 bear comparison with those exhibited by
this heroic old man. The one unconquer-
able idea for which he has lived for twenty
years was the yindicstion of his career as
soldier. For over twenty years he
struggled for it, long after many of his
warmest friends had lost heart and hope.
To defeat him every obstruction that the
fertile e~ngenuity of hate could c%onjure up
was thrown in his way, Political rancor
played its part; the memories Of
Lincoln and Garfield were called
up to thwart him prejudice, mis-
representation, malice, all combined
were used with deadly purpose to crush
him Under this weight of c%aluihny a
man of less strength Of purpose would
have long since fallen by the wayside.
Single handed and alone the old man has
made his way toward the one remaining
object of his life. Conscious of the just
ness Of his cause, he has brarely borne up
under the bitter taunts and bitterer hum
i~liations that have met him at every
