AYERS
Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are so insdous in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from triaing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
"In 1857 took severe cold, which affected
my lungs. l had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. l tried AYERS CHERRY Pee
ToRAL, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. BY the
continued use of the PICTORIAL a perma-
nent cure was effected am now 62 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
CHERRY PICTORIAL saved me.

"While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken i'll with Group;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu-
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
TO our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the CHERRY PICTORIAL had
saved my darlings life Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,
Mrs. EMMA GEDNEY."

FINE FRU1r.-Mr. M. J. Dun.
nam, who lives on Bayou Rapides,
and.by the way is considered one of
the best planters and fruit raisers in
the Parish, has sent Parish Commits
sloner Bolton a sample lot of his
line peaches. The average weight
OF four of the largest, now to be
seen at the Eagle Drug Store,
where they are preserved in alco-
mol, is thirteen ounces each. The
peaches are of the olingstone varie-
ty and are beautiful and worth see
ing. Such an exhibit alone to the

comfy A JOKE auburn
haired friend, Charlie Monroe, of
the firm of Irving & Monroe, of this
place, returned home on Saturday
night last from a pleasure trip to
North Madison, Indiana. Before
he arrived, however, he worked up
with the assistance of a young gen
tleman friend at Troupe, Texas, a
capital joke on his pardner here,
who was telegraphed to from the
place above named, to have coach
and four in readiness at the depot
for him "and his bride" on their
arrival here; also to secure a suite
of rooms at Hynson's Exchange
Hotel, and see that everything was
arranged, in order that proper re-
ception might be given himself and
lady. Accommodating and think
ing no doubt but that he should do
as requested, he accordingly made
the necessary arrangements. So
great, indeed, was Jake's surprise
on seeing his pardner step from off
he train without his inamorata that
he couldn't speak; suffice it to say,
he matter was soon explained, and
Jake took things good naturally.
Charlie isn't married, bnt he ought
o be, and if any of the girls won't
lave him, why it's no fault of his,

The LIBEL CAsE.-The Court
House on Saturday last presented
quite a lively appearance. As is
already known, the libel cases,
three in unmber, to which we have
in issues previous to this, alluded,
were fixed for trial before Justice
Wilmington.
In the matter Of DR.. A. Cooke
rifle, the gentleman waived trial
and was placed under an appear
ance bond to await action by the
next Grand Jury.
The case against Mccormick &
HUE, that is the one as regards the
publishing of the article signed
Prohibition" in which it was al
legged that Judge Blackman was
seen "beastly drunk, staggering and
hicooughing, as if he was attempt
ting to draw off his shoes through
his capacious mouth" was taken up
and entered into.
The examination of at least fif-
teen witnesses, some of whom were
twice recalled to the stand, and
the arguments and discussions that
were gone through with by both
the counsel for defense, Mr.. Z. G..
Hunter, and the District ATTORNEY,
Mr.. Jno. G. Wicklife. continued |
up to near o'clock in the evening,
when the argument of Mr.. Hunter
commenced, and which proceeded

he was tight. Not one, however
testified to his being in the condi.
ton as described in the article
signed Prohibition"
During the trial Mr.. Wicklitfe
lett the Courtroom, to the surprise
OF all present. The presiding Jus
tlce had made a decision, but after
second thought changed his ruling.
This aggravated the gentleman and
he left the room in an instant-not
in contempt, however, of the presi-
ding officer. After a short recess
Mr.. Wicklitfe was induced to again
take part in the trial which he did
and the case proceeded.
At the commencement of the trial
a great many people were present,
to hear this, the first libel case that
has ever taken place in Rapides,
but before adjournment the crowd
had dwindled considerably.
The general impression is that
the parties on trial will be placed
under bail.

"The bruncttes are up in the scale OF fash.
ion and the blondes are down, that's certain.
Figures won't lie, you know, and here are
the figures" said Il well-kuowu physician to q
reporter, as he opened his desk and pulled
out a little roll of paper covered with writ
ing. Now" he continued, With u laugh,
perhaps it's not a matter of any conse-
quenrs whether blondes or brunettas are tho
style, but just to settle the question | took
the trouble to go into the subject from a
statistical point of view.
In the first place, l peeped into over 800
novel; and stories. all written within two
years. You shall have the exact figures:
Three hundred and seventeen stories, exam.
ined MS to heroines being light or dark: re-
suit, 80 brunettes, y blondes; 1872 poems
selected out Of papers AMI magazines pub
lished January, 1882, 70 OF the heroines were
dark and SO golden haired.
Though there was no doubt now left In
my mind as to which style was the most pop
ular. l took the trouble to make a personal
count at the Academy OF Music as the people
danced about at the charity ball, and l found
that u good many more brunettes than
blondes had partners, AMI personal observa-
tion disclosed the fact that tho same was the
case at both the Stodiart and the star course
lectures, and on Chestnut street after The
matinees were out"
~But," said the listener, "f the proportion
of dars-haired women is greater than that of
light haired, it follows, of course, that they
should figure more prominently in tho sta
~tistics."
10, yes, il that were so; but IL is not, and
statistics show that there are just about as
many blondes as brnnettes. No, there is no
doubt about it; the brunettes have the call
at present, and have had 1t for some time"

Tho Elephant. Get Loose.
New York World.

New York Worlo
The elephants got loose in the afternoon al
Madison Square garden yesterday and Mile.
Minetta, who slides from the top OF the gar
den down a wire holding on by her teeth, fell
near the end OF her journey, but owing to the
precautions taken by the management was
not hurt.
Mile. Minetta is a sprightly maiden, about
22 years old, and dresses in blue and gold. At
about 3 o'clock she bowed before the i'm
mense audience and went through her per-
formance on the rings. Five minutes after
ward she was hoisted to the top Of the garden
and u second later came down like u cannon
shot suspended by her teeth.
Four men in crush hats and brondcloth
knee-breeches stood at the end of the wire
with an extended piece of canvas in their
hands. She drove through the canvas, so
rapid was her descent, and crashed up
against an iron post
One of the men swung his arm around her
waist and saved her from death. As it was
she was quite stunned, but managed to bow
to the audience before she departed. After
the performance the famous Nautch girls
gave a private exhibition of their dances.
The girls dress in picturesque costumes of
green, red and yellow wrapped around them
in graceful folds. As the girls retired two
East Indians dressed in white went upon the
JIatform. Each carried a heavy gun similar
TO a blunderbuss- Suddenly one of the In-
dams raised his ponderous weapon and a re-
port like the thunder of a cannon shook the
garden. Another louder than the first fol-
lowed, and then a third was heard. At this
stage of the performance other thunder as
loud but more ominous startled Mr.. George
A~rstingstall, the manager of the e~lephant1, and
upon entering the quarters of the beasts he
found Hebe lashing one of the pillars of the
garden with her trunk and Chief trying to
burst an entrance through the garden walls
into Twenty-sixth street Arstingstall sprang
among the beasts, and raising his whip beat
the animals into submission. The attaches
OF the garden had fed from the confines of
the elephants, as it was fearai the animals
would escape.
The finishing touch to the days performances
was given by the head man OF the Nubians.
These people took umbrage at half-a-dozen
gentlemen who laughed at their ~war-dance
and the chief, dwelling his spear, threatened
to transflH Mr.. w. i. Hamilton, Mr.. Bar
num'S agent.
