DR.. Love, the first appointee for this par
ish, died a few hours after the State Board
held its meeting, thus creating vacancy
that will doubtless be filled by gubernato-
rial appointment.
No lists of recommendations having
been received from several parishes, it was
decided that the old Boards of Directors
should continue to act in such cases until
appointments are made by the Governor.
The following resolution was adopted:
ResoIved, That special meeting of the board
be held ON the first Monday in October 1884, to
select site for the State Normal School. to be
lie notice be at once given by the superinten-
dent OF Public Education of said meeting in
order that the several towns and cities through

VERY LIKE A BOOM.

Closely following the announcement made
| in recent issues of the CHIEF that many of
| the leading merchants, steamboatmen and
other citizens Of New Orleans have joined
Blaine and Logan clubs, came the news
| from Goneordia and Catalonia parishes
| that the white voters, and particularly
| those of the most intelligent and substan-
| tial classes, are declaring Tor the Repubii-
can candidates by hundreds, and q similar
state of feeling is declared to exist in other
parishes of the Fifth Congressional Dis
trict. Hon. Geo. Il. Walton of goncordia,
ex-P President Of the State Senate and erst-
while ons of the ablest Democratic leaders
| in North Louisiana, is out in strong,
| manly letter advocating Blaine and Logan
and advising the people of the State to sup
port those candidates. The letter is printed
on the first page of to-day's CHIEF and we
commend it to the attention of every
reader of our paper.
A white Blaine club is being organized in
Plaquemine and Of twenty five men already
enrolled only two have been Republicans
heretofore.
The New Orleans German Gazette, the
leading German paper of the State, de-
nounces the Democratic tariff plank as
an unworthy bubble, incapable of deoeiv-
ing anybody as to its true meaning" The
Gazette wants to know whether the sugar
and rice planters are going to carry out
their avowed policy of guiding their politi-
cal action by their material interests, or
whether they propose to take the back
track and train with a party whose platform
is supported and Endorsed by rampant tariff
reductionists and free traders like Morri-
son, Carlisle and Hard as vindicating their
views. -
The white Blaine clubs in New Orleans
continue to swell their membership with
admirable material at every meeting. List
week the Central Pioneer Club admitted
the following new members:
]. G. Cofield. II. Zuberbier, e. A. Lever, John
Ihiac, VIM. Fitzpatrick, Capt. J. A. Comsteck.
u. NJ. HUNT, John Williams, Joseph Shuber, J.
.; Garlen. Chas. Schneider, John Hardness,
Gonnelly, John Sands. j. VI. WesterHeld; c. il.
McNeill, Joseph ?. Bellr. John Halpin, Geo, d.
Ma9ett, j.. 'Hsanis, III. McCabe; James Reid,
W. IL. Lewis. John L. Kearney and j s. Grabiel.
The first named gentleman, Mr.. J. G.
Cofeld, is one of the leading sugar planters
of Ascension parish, man respected and
esteemed by oil who know him. Capt. J. 4.
Comstock, for some time past resident of
DonaldsonFille, is we'll known as one of the
most popular steamboatmen on the lower
river. Such men as these are an honor to
any party or cause they may support, and
their adhesion to the Republican platform
and ticket is strongly indicative of the
benefits Louisiana is promised by the sue
cess of the vital principles which the Re-
publican party represents in the pending
canvass.
1t is reported that there is strong feel
ing in favor of Blaine and Logan among
the white New Orleans 'longshoremen, and
that q 'Longshoreznens Republican club
will be organized in a few days with over
$50 members.

Comforts Of Late Risers

The ethics of good sleep should
form part of household morality.
1t is hardly an extravaganza assertion
that comparatively few people, after
childhood passed, know by exper-
fence what perfect sleep is, and sat
isfy themselves with poor apology
for this most perfect refreshment.
Rising tired and weary from a dis
turbed and imperfect sleep they pro-
coed to summon up lost energies by
strong tea or coffee, which in its
turn again interferes with perfect
rest at night; and this process OF
life, more than any mental or ply
steal labor, wears women out and
makes them prematurely old. 81
have been reading myself to sleep
after retiring," said a Boston WON
an the other day, "and when / have
done this for two or three nights /
can see that | look five years older.''
1t is an experience that any woman
can verify, and, conversely, she can
see that sleeping in a perfectly dark,
well ventilated room brings back
the contour and the roses of child
hood of early youth.
The most perfect sleep is obtained
by carefully closing the blinds, rails
ing and lowering the windows to
admit plenty of pure air, and draw
ing down the heavy shades, thus
making the room perfectly dark
Then, on going to bed, 60 there to
sleep, not to write or read, or think
or plan, but for the most valuable of
all things, the foundation Of all ac-
tivity and energy, perfect sleep. A
few nights of this experience will
work magic transformation in
looks and in feelings.
Above all, let us divest ourselves
of traditional prejudice that there
is somehow virtue in early rising.
When early sleep is obtained, early
rising is indicated by nature by
waking; but artificially produced it
is pernicious. Unless there is an ex-
c6It;nnal reason. it isfar wiser to
sleep till One wakens naturally, and
one hour then will do the work OF
three when one comes to it tired,
unrefreshed. Natures sweet re-
storer,n is of all things the most in

L. N. Cary, of Mandan, was here
Tuesday on business. He is a candi-

saw in Iowa.
1t would be a good advertisement
for this country if the farmers would
prepare samples of grain and vege-
tables and send them back to their
old homes for exhibition at the coun.
ty fairs. This could be done at small
expense.
George Ruggles, who has claim
near here, and has been living in
dugout came near losing his life last
Sunday by the dugout caving in on
him. The accident occurred about
noon. a large piece of stone fell on
his abdomen and lower part of the
body causing great injury and pain.
He was unable to remove it and re-
manned in that condition for two
days when he was discovered by
passer-by and in short time relieved
from the trap, but was unable to
move from the effects of his long
confinement. He is still in a very
critical condition and the injuries
may yet prove fatal.
