AN APPEAL FROM PORT ALLEN
Local Relief Impossible and the General
Government called On.


NEW ORLEANS, March 29.-The Times
Democrats Port Allen special says: The
river rose II inches to-day. A meeting
of citizens of West Baton Rouge parish
has issued the following appeal:
WHEREAS, The crevasses in the Pointe
COupee and Mulatto Point leYees IN tins
parish have already overnOWed lands con-
sdered free from inundation; and
WHEREAS, The greatest danger IS to be ap-
pretended with the rising river in front, the
Increasing water from the rear ana the
levecs becoming every day more insecure be-
cause of the force of the current; and
WHEREAS. The state, parochIaI and indl-
vidual means are exhausted and can afford
no relief to the suffering people,
ReS0tCed, That we appeal to the General
Government OF Washington in this hour Of
suffering and distress, and respectfully re-
quest that ald may be given us IN closing the
crevasses and Strengthening the standing
levees, and we respectfully suggest that il is
better to do this at once and restore our
fields to agriculture than to condemn them to
floods.
The break at Sardne Point has been
closed.
RODNEY FULL OF REFUGEES.
A special from Vicksburg says: "Capt.
Cooper, of the government steamer Vida

moved in the last few days from Tensas

80 families with their belongings, in
Guiding chickens and dogs. He says
that the town of st. Joseph,
containing 400 houses, is flooded,
except Front street, behind the levee. The
water proof, which is close by, is entirely
Overflowed. All the streets have planks
laid on boxes for people to get around on.
On his way up, Capt. Cooper noticed
negroes camped at different points along
the levee, from Rodney to Davis Bend,
waiting for the water to fall so that they
can return to their homes and their work.
The river below is reported to be falling.

The firing upon the mob has been
merciless. Whether it was by the Gatling
gun or by the soldiers cannot now be
told, as nothing has been heard from
inside the Jail for the past hour. No one
can estimate the loss of life or injury by
wounds,

der no control, and seems bound on de-
struction, pure and simple. The burning
of the court house gives no aid in the
original purpose of lynching the murder

disgrace.

The destruction of the building means
an irreparable loss in valuable records,
some of them of great historical interest
and value. In the present chaotic condi-
tien of affairs there is nothing to prevent
untold loss from fire, except the lack of
material to give it a start. When the
mob had robbed PowelPs gun store it was

LONDON, ENGLAND (SpEC1AL Br Ca
BLE) In the suit of the Charles A.
Vogeler Co., of Baltimore, Maryland,

this city, the Court of Appeals has
granted the plaintiffs perpetual in

which grew out of an illeged infringe

heard in the high Court of Justice,
| where Vice-Chancellor Bacon, with.
ont going into the merits of the case,
considered it was one. that should 90
before the comptroller of Trade
Marks. From this opinion The
Charles A. Vogeler Company appeal

jured hy the goods of the defendants,
entitled st. Davids Oil, being mis-
taken for theirs, and that while they
had taken steps to bring case before
the Comptroller of Trade-NIarks,
months would elapse before a deci-
sion could be obtaieed, and as their
business would be so seriously In.
jured by such delay, restraining
The result of the appeal was that q
perpetual injunction was made with
costs. The proceedings before the.
Comptroller have been abandoned by
the defendants, and the Baltimore
house has thus achieved donble
victory. BY the order of the Court
of Appeals, PNrrott & Co., and their
agents, are perpetually restrained
from using the term 'E st. DaVids
Oil,'' or any similar term as we'll as
the words, "The Great German
Remedy" and any words or marks
similar to those used by The Charles
A. Vogelcr Company in connection
with their st. Jacobs Oil. The pro-
grcss of this suit has been watched
with interest by the mercantile and
manufacturing community of Great
Britain, where thousands of trade
marks of almost incalculable value
are owned. 1t was shown by the evil
dencc that plaintiffs had sold during
the past few years, over seven million
bottles of st. Jacobs Oil, and expen-
ded rs high as five hundred thousand
dollars in a single year for advertising
throughout the world. Their success
in this suit is regarded with great sat
isfaction in business circles. Emil

PoETICAL.
Come, Teach Me.


Come, teach me the worth OF affection,
The love that will never grow cold.
A bliss which will brighten life's pathway,
More precious than silver and gold.
Then whisper of joy in cottage
A charm that no lover would miss
And with your sweet face flushed in beauty,
Just meet me half way with kiss.
Come, tell mo how long must linger,
Assigning for joy you can give,
These years you have kept me awaiting
It's hard out of sunshine to live.
Then teach me the worth of affection.
While am so eager for bliss,
And with your fair face bright with bushes,
Just meet mc half way with kiss.
Come, teach me the art of true loving,
And smile when call you my dear;
My heart is now throbing with pleasure
And tenderly drawing you near.
While youths bright, warm summer is passing
Oh! give mo one token of BLISS;
Just fly to my arms with an answer.
I'll meet you half way with kiss.
While the shadows of twilight are deep'ning,
Aud nightingales' songs we can hear,
Come, teach me the worth of affection,
The love that is constant. my dear.
wait in the sweet, blooming clover,
And long for your token of bliss:
Come, love, with your fond eyes a-glowing,
And meet me half way with Il kiss.
