THE DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Serious charge. against 81 Charles delegates


GRETNA, La, Feb. rs, 1854.
Mr.. Editor SF CHARLES HERALD:
This being Mar,ii Gras day, and
having some hours of leisure, | IN
prove the OCCASION by dropping you
Il few lines concerning the recent
Republican District Convention held
at Harvey's Canal. [ was particu-
Iarly struck with the difference in
the character and standing of the
delegates from the different parishes
represented.
Those from Jefferson were smart;
active, vigilant politicians, knowing
what they We're about and doing it |
with vigor and skill. The st. John +
delegation, many of whom were
white, was composed Of decent in
teiligent and solid inen. The dele
gates from your parish, | regret to
say, struck me us wanting in intelli-
gence and character. They seemed
ignorant Of what their mission was,
and knew not what to do. Indeed,
they were slow TO enter the Conven.
ton when it WAS called to order, and
there We're some reports that they
intended to bolt, bat for what rea
son or on what principle no body
knew. There was but one candi-
date put in nomination for each of
flee, and consequently there could
not be any cause for want of har
mony. When our able and faithful
senator, Hon. Henry Demas was
nominated for re election one of Oul
delegates only one L am glad to say
) voted no, although he had no other
candidate! Whena man votes against
i II candidate, he should certainly
. place another name in nomination
+ MOI so in this case. These WAS no
earthly reason for such conduct, i
b was Senseless and silly, AID no on

Again, many OF Tie st. ChaFls.

OPEN YOUR Observation-Disclosures women do
not seem to understand that they add very much
to their natural nervousness by living in darken-
ed rooms. Houses from which the sun is excud-
cd are not wholesome. There is always damp,
depressing condition in them that makes itself
evident at once to y sensitive temperament. The
mind and bodies of all who live in such houses
arc affected by it, Both health and spirits are de-
pressed. Their occupants have not only the de-
pressing effect Of the lack of light and seem to
contend against it, but the reaction consequent
upon living in unwhocsome conditions. All the
rooms in tho house should have both light and
sunshine freely admitted at all times whether
they are in daily use or not. They are thus kept
sweet. and are in good condition when they are
wanted. Many woman and child has been sac
rficed to save the carpets and keep out the flies.
Many fit of illness has resulted from the same
cause. Many disappointed, cherries life can DO
traced back to sunless rooms beginning.
Multitudes of women and children are only half
living today because only halffed. Sunshine and
light and air are as much food for the body and
soul rs tho fruits and grains and vegetables that
we take into our stomachs and we cannot get
surfeit of them as of food. Open your windows
wide, then. my sisters, and let the sun, that al.
ways carries health in It's rays, have free access
to every part of your homes. Screens will keep
out the flies, and if you have OCCASION to temper
the heat of the sun, use q white curtain that eau
be rolled up or down at will.
