4 doctor gives these hints IN Cassslrs
Magazine for people afflicted with rheu-
matism
Keep the skin II constant good tone
aud working order The matutinal sponge
bath viii strengthen the nerves, and keep
open the pores; the Turkish bath, porta-
bic or otherwise, ought to be taken once
week, or whenever an attack is threat
encd; If even once q day FOR time
should be deemed necessary, it will not
hurt. It is wonderful prophylactic. 1
coui0 adduce hundreds Of cases in proof
of this.
Those subject to rheumatism very often
feel tired. deiecFed. with or without loss
of appetite. The body may not ache. but
it does not feel fresh. Probably there is
little headache, moro often fulness in
brow or eye-balls, and the patient has but
little heart for his ordinary employment,
and things that interested him only the
day before, now appear devoid of any
value. If he thinks back, perhaps he
will remember that for day or two pre-
viously he had not been living quite so
abstemiously as he ought. Well, he may
call this little illness a mere fit of indi-
gestion, If he pleases, but it is indiges-
ton Of kind that has detrimentally in
creased the uric acid in his blood. Let
him take a Turkish bath at once, if his
doctor will permit it, and live by rule
again.
The living by rule includes certain
amount of exercise in the open air. With
out this, no rheumatic person can expect
to be long free from aches and pains and
wearisome ennui-almost as bad to bear
! as pain itself. As to diet it will greatly
depend Ola the age. The young require
more nourishment than the middle-aged,
but old people must have their little
often, and it must be well cooked and
easy of assimilation.
For breakfast, let tea and coffee be
avoided, substituting cocoa or cocoatina,
with milk and sugar. Let toast be eaten,
or If bread be preferred, it should be
brown bread and butter, and the bread
should be stale. Avoid meat, except q
little nicely cooked bacon, not too fat.
Eggs poached, or mushed, or lightly
boiled, not fried, and any kind of fish
except salmon, herring and mackerel.
II hungry ahyot 10 o'clock. light
biscuit or two, with butter, may be taken,
Auu u SldSS III SOUd-W8LCf Auu nllk.
Dinner ahouid be early-say / 80 or
o'clock. Soup the old may take mid
dlc-aged or young people do not require
it, and it is apt to get acid with some.
Meat may now be taken sparingly, say
twice week. Game, fish, poultry, and
vegetables, except the stronger kinds,
may be eaten every day with Dime.
No beer with dinner. Lemon juice is :
good substitute, but ginger beer and
ginger ale should be avoided. Lign;
puddings,. such as bread, tapiccag o,
ground rice NAV be taken, and a little
good wholesome fruit; but this latter j.
better before breakfast. No pastry; and
cheese is poison.
One cup Of not over strong tea at 4
o'clock, and tiny biscuit
Supper at Z or 80, with a cup oi
cocoa. Sauces and hot peppers disagree
SO do stews, for this reason no cook
| lives who can keep grease out of stew
and moreover, stews aud food Of thai
consistency are generally swallowed toe
quickly, and do not get mixed with the
salivary juices.

Who Defeated Blaine.

The New York Sun, which op-
posed Mr.. Cleveland so bitterly,
but which was among the first to
acknowledge his election, in Its
issue of Saturday says: at was
not the Independent Republicans,
so-called, who did it. They were
loud and active and free with their
money-in the way of legitimate
election expenses-but they could
not win victory. Many as they
were, there was not enough Of them.
1t was q handful of unforgiving
Stalwarts that did it. They made
no noise beforehand. They had
no organization. They held no
public meetings. They sent out
no orators. They printed no doc
uments. They said nothing until
the very eve of the election. But
they voted. They remembered
the defeat of Folger. They also
remembered Mr.. Blaine's assault
upon Senator Conkling; and they
voted so as to make the old account
square. Their votes, along with
those Of the regular Democrats and
the Independent Republicans, were
effcacious. Study the returns of
Oneida county, where Garfeld's
plurality of 1916 was changed into
plurality of % for Cleveland, and
you will see how it was done.
1t seems q funny idea, but the fact
is that after having served the
Blaine men as a bludgeon to knock
Folger over, Cleveland has now
been made to serve the Stalwarts
as cleaver to cut down Blaine.
And thus the whirligig of time
brings in the revenges. It'd.

Proclamation OF Thanksgiving.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, !
State Of Louisiana.

gEHEREAS, it is our bounden
sB duty at all times to give
III thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings He beStows; and
whereas, it is held as meet and
right that such thanks be also given
in concert at stated times on days
appointed, therefore, and in pur-
suance of general and venerated
custom, established throughout the
States of this Republic and in COM
pliance with the desires of large
numbers of worthy and pious citi-
zens of Louisiana, | have thought
proper to issue this my proclama-
ton designating
Thursday the 81, of November, 1884,
to be set apart and observed by
our people as a day Of General
Thanksgiving and Prayer, in order
that all who are so minded may
cease from their daily business and
devote the day to appropriate re-
ligious services, according to their
respective habits and in their
various places of public worship,
and may thus, with one accord,
utter their gratitude to the Giver
of all good for the manifold favors
which He has bestowed upon our
commonwealth and the citizens
thereof.
You have been blessed with
abundant crops, with peace in youl
homes, with general health, with
exemption from pestilence, with
public order, with rights and lib
critics unhurt and unimperiled
with growing privileges of instruc,
ton, with continued exemption
from external dangers and aggres-
sion and with constitutional liber.
ties unchanged and more firmly
established.
For these and other favors innu,
merable it is fit and right that most
devout and heartfelt thanks be
rendered continually, with cease
less prayer Tor the continuance O.
the same to yourselves and to YOU
children.
And it is recommended az a fur,
ther suitable manifestation of YOU
gratitude to God that you remem
Der, on that day, with charitabl,
hearts and open hands, the orphan
the distressed and the desolate who
may be within our reach.

A TERRIBLE FATE.

"To what are you listening"
said a man on top of the dome OF
the capitol at Washington, the
other day, to another man who
stood with his hands to his ears, ap-
parcntly listening intently. "To the
steady tramp of the coming mil
lions who will be here between
now and the fourth of next March,
seeking Office" said the stranger,
and clasping his hands together he
plunged headforemost off of the
dome, and was dashed to pieces or
the ground below. \ long and
careful search of the fragments,
was rewarded by the discovery Of
a three cornered note, which or
being opened was found to contain
these words:
Knowing how Mr.. Cleveland
would be beset by applicants for
office and being his ardent though
unknown admirer, l could not stay
to witness his misery, and so have
left this world of trouble. Don't
bury me where the tread of the
office seeker can be heard. Oliver

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

1t is refreshing to observe how
unanimous the republican papers
are. in setting forth the beauties OF
civil service reform. Nearly every
Office IN the gift Of the government,
is now held by republicans, and
the republican press wouldnatu
" like this state Of affairs to con-
tinue.
They have laid in a large supply
of "taffy" and are giving it to
Cleveland in the most liberal man
ner imaginable. "Gov. Cleveland
is not the sort OF man 10 displace a
faithful public servant merely to
put another man in" is one brand
of tatfy that is quite popular, an
other is Ibis record shows him to
be a fair and honest man, and he
would hardly etc etc." which
sounds very pretty and tickles the
department clerks considerably.
But it won't do, gentlemen.
There are, probably, million DEM
ocrats who expect to he rewarded
for their fidelity, and their cxer-
tons. That they deserve to be re-
warded goes without question.
They are a unit in wanting the re-
publicans displaced. When it
comes to who is to Eli the places
made vacant, there will be divis-
ion, for there are not enough places
to go around, and every man will
think that some other should be
the one to get left. 1t is hard on
the men displaced, but stop mo-
ment, and think of the intense
qualification of the men who secure
places. Besides the democrats
will get credit for anything that is
wrong. and if they are to get the
blame, they ought to have the game.
There will be no sudden clean
sweep, that would upset the affairs
Of the government, but the change
will doubtless be gradually, and
surely made, and the present force
might just as well make up their
minds to it now, as later, for it is
inevitable.

Too Many for Him.

\ man visiting London went to
church and seated himself without
hesitation in the nearest pew.
Soon the owner came in, eyed the
stranger critically, and then writ
ing "My pew" ON the fy-leaf of a
prayer-book, handed the book to
the intruder. The Stranger read
the message, smiled a beautiful
smile, and wrote underneath: "Nice
pew. What do you pay for it ?"

The Picayune Case.
By the Governor:
OSCAR ARROYO,
Secretary of State.

WASHINGTON, Nov. L.. The
case of Edward C. Hancock, appel
liant, VS.. Mrs. Eliza Jane Holbrook
& Co. ct al, came up in the Su-
preme Court to-day on appeal
from the Circuit Court Of the
United States for the Eastern Dis
trict Of Louisiana. The decree was
reversed, each party to pay half of
the costs in the Supreme Court.
The cause was remanded, with di-
rections also to remand to the State
court from which it was improper
ly removed, as equity and justice
may require.
Chief Justice Waite, who render
ed the decision, stated this
evening that there was but one
point in the case for the Supreme
Court to decide, and that wa:
whether the decision of the United
States court should stand, and thai
decision was reversed for the reason
that that court had no right to try
the case, because both of the par
ties to the suit were residents O
the same State.-T-D.

Dissolution of Partnership.

For some time past a misunderstand-
ing has existed between Thomas W..
Bowers and Henry +. Dure, comprising
the firm of Bowers & Dure, car build
ers of the Ninth ward. There were
any number Of reports In circulation
concerning the difficulty, but as a
general thing 1t was considered a
private matter, and not referred to by
reporters.
There has been but very few men en-
ploy ed at the works since last July,
aud very little business done, and the
statement that the present total stop
page will throw large number of nen
out of employment is without founda-
ton.
About noon yesterday the following
notice was served on Mr.. Bowers, and
it was announced that Mr. Evan Rice
would take charge of Mr.. Dure's
interest IN the business
"Notice is hereby given that the CO.
partnership between Thomas W. Bow.
ers and Henry f. Dure, under the firm
name of Bowers, Dure & Company,
was dissolved on the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1884
Previous to the difficulties which
have cumiuated in a dissolution of
partnership, the firm were doing
a good business, and furnished employ
ment to about six hundred men.
1t is said that when the works start
up again u sufficient number of orders
can be had to furnish employment to
the usual number of men. There is no
lack of capital to carry on the business,
and it is IA subject of regret that such a
serious misunderstanding should have
arisen between the principals.
