A SERIOUS CALAMITY.
Terrible Ravages Of the Charlton


This most fatal Of all diseases to
which our chief domestic animals
are liable, is now making sad havoc
with herds in various localities of
this and other parishes. In Chen.
iere Lacroix, 1000 have died out of
+2500 In Cheniere .aux-Tigres of
80 horses 43 died in one spot where
they hefded. In Prairie Carlin
the ravages are extending in the
same ratio with fearful rapidly.
1t has appeared on Avery's Island,
on Weeks Island, and from the
latter the stock have been driven
out into the prairie. A Mr.. Brous-
sard lost four animals last year
with it, and to save the residue,
the experiment Of cutting off their
tails was resorted to, after which
he lost no more. Parious remedies
are being tried with more or less
apparent success, but despite the
utmost care and the use of the best
known preventives and antidotes,
the slaughter is simply APPALLING.
We have just heard that Cypre-
mort is being ravaged by the fell
destroyer, and We suppose the
whole Gulf Coast and island are in
the same category. Three men in
Vermiilion parish have been at
tackled, but whether fatally or not
we have yet to learn.-New Iberia

Tc5E E;s Advice

MS Itd4ti, " hti' w Spclit SiCut
deal Of money in riotous living
with some Of the most influential
citizens. He finally cmbezzled
some money, was arrested and
tried.
1t was uncertain how the trial
would go, so when his case was
called, his counsel, Judge D., one
Of the most prominent lawyers in
Western Texas, took the young
man aside and and said to him
earnestly
Young man, l don't want to
see you sent to the Penitentiary at
Huntsville, but the evidence may
be strong enough to send you there.
1 want to see you 90 home to your
parents in Boston"
Theyoung man from Boston in
timatcd that he, too, preferred his
home in Boston to a dungeon cell
in Texas Penitentiary
81 viii tell you what to do. "
continued Judge D, Il notice
that the sheriff is not very strict
with you, and lets you go in and
out of the court room without a
guard, relying on your honor not
to run off. Now, if dining the
progress Of the case, you hear me
whistle gently, you may know that
the best thing for YOU TO do is to
stroll out carclessly as if you were
only going out for some beer, or a
cigar. Once Oil the outside, you
had better get Gu horse, You
might have in readiness, and make
your way ont of the state"
The young man, whose name was
Winthrop, a descendant of the
famous Governor Winthrop, of
Massachusetts,, thought the advice
very good.
The trial began, and at first it
looked as if the State would rot be
able to make out case, but az last
things began to look squally for
the defendant. Then it was that
Judge D-turnod to his client and
gently whistled a couple of bars of
a grand old tune that has brought
tears TO the eyes Of so many weary
wanderers. What he whistled
was:-
Mid pleasures and palaces
Though we may roam
Be it ever SO humble
There is no place like home.
4 charm from the skies
Seems to haliow us there
Which seek through the world
Is not met with elsewhere;
An exile from homo
Splendor dazZles in vain
Oh, give me my iowly
Thatched cottage again;
The birds singing gaily
That come to my call,
Give me them with that
Peace of mind dearcr than all
Before Judge D. had ceased to
whistle young Winthrop was riding
through the suburbs and out into
the prairie on q horse. Sheriff Nc
Call failed to overtake the fugitive,
but he is satisfied in his mind that
Judge D-threw ont hint to the
prisoner to skip. This irsinuation
Judge D-strenuously denied,
more particularly when he discov.
cred that it was his own horse his
client had picked ont as n good one
on which to make his escape.

The AffiictiOn of Money.

You have observed the suicide of a
broker named Kane, believe. The
only Importance Of Kane's life or death
to me is the revival it brings up of his
father-in-law. Several years ago, in
Washington City, saw a keen little
man who made shoes at Poughkeepsie,
N. T., and had accumulated consid-
cradle amount Of money in that bnsi-
ness. He was nominally Democrat
but his money obtained him the Re-
publican support. While at Washing
ton he was generally against the DEM
ocratic party on the sly. knew him
little and studied him with moderate
interest, and it was apparent to me
that he was designing to have me write
a speech for him, something which I
never did for any Congressman, and
my bashfulness, and the old fellows
bashfulness, as studied by an outsider,
would have matched almost any court
snip in comedy. think he never
made his big speech. though he per-
haps got permission to have it printed.
He would take his creature comforts,
and yet was exceedingly particular
about the purity Of those nearest to
him. On one occasion the old man
came in from Scotchy kind of spree.
which he sometimes indulged in, and,
pointing with his thumb to the next
door to him, he said: "Gentlemen,
now be particular; l have offspring in
there" had forgotten all about this
poor old man, with his several hundred
thousand dollars, until saw the other
day that his son-in-law had banished
his wife from his presence, and then
cut his throat with carving-knifc; SO
it occurred to me that nothing had
saved myself and my friends except
our failure to make the same amount
of money. To fool money is a great
afiliction. The fool is sure to do some
thing wrong with money. He will
either go and gamble or go and make
another family, or break somebody's
family. or keep fast horse and break
his neck. You endow fool and you
equip fire-balloon to 20 where IL
pleases. Gath, in Boston Globe.

strove to get both the water and the

Rev. Sam Jones is giving the people of
Tennessee some mighty hot gospel,
straight from the shoulder. The New
York Sun gives compilation Of his pithy
sentences, from which we take the fol-
lowing:
Talk about an honest man starving to
death they won't starve. God will teed an
honest man, II He has to put the angels on
half rations.
What's culture worth? It's only white
vash on rascal. I'd rather have to learn
my A, B, U in heaven than to know Greek
iu bell.
Many good Christians sle,p so sound that
the devil can come up and saw off their heads
with dull case knife before they wake.
A lie ID always on the down grade, but the
truth you have to hitch an engine TO.

In this world than with people who talk too
much.

work, ssashiag and convincing hundreds

COrsets for the Ankles.

1.-The man who invented the ankle
corset will make fortune by it," re-
marked the superintendent of popu-
lar rink uptown whore 1900 people
skate daily.
"Have you tried it yetp" asked re-
porter.
''No; haven't even see it. But l
think it will be success. Some peo-
pie in skating never can keep their
ankles stiff. 1t impcdes their speed
and makes them tire quickly. Nowthis
ankle corset as l understand it, Is a
brace for the ankle to keep it from
turning. II 1t is properly constructed
it is bound to be Of great assistance.
Many young ladies now in skating wear
high-laced shoes 10 brace their ankles.
Not few Of them wear two or three
clastics for the same purpose. But this
corset Will have to be jaunty and grace
ful-looking or else no girl will wear it.
The great ambition Of the girls now is
to attain style and grace rather than
speed and comfort, so the ankle corsets
will have TO survive terrible scouting
before the rink queens will accept
them"
"Do the ankles of the girl skaters
really require corsets or bracesp'
'As rule they do. II their ankles
are weak and in trying to cut didos on
skates they happen to turn, the corset
will certainly be Of advantage to pre-
vent spraining. The ankle Is the part
of the human body most liable to dam
age in skating. II is frequently weak
and rickety and uncertain about turn
ing. Therefore my impression is the
ankle corset will be the next wrinkle to
sell in conjunction with skates. ."-Nev
