CHICAGO, April IA special from the
City of Mexico says: When the troops of
the Colombian Government finally entered
Colon after it had been burned by the Rebels
under the leadership OF Preston, they cap
tured several squads of Rebels. During the
past ten days the number OF these prisoners
has been considerably augmented by the re-
ceipt OF struggling Rebels captured in the
surrounding districts. 1t is not known now
just how many Rebels were thus held pris-
oneTs at Colon, but good authorities place
the number at about 400. Authentic infor-
nation reached this city last night that on
Wednesday the officers of the Colombian
Government selected 100 of the worst Rebels
imprisoned at Colon, and placing them on
board steamer, carried them out into the
bay, where the entire loo were thrown over
board and drowned.

Taking Care of the Body,

The Christian Iitder, the leading organ of
the Baptist Church in the South, published
in Atlanta, Ga, in its issue of Dec. 4, 1884,
has the following editorial:
Too many people seem to think that re-
ligious newspaper should be confined to the
discussion of moral and religious subjects
only, forgetting that religion has to do both
with the bodies and souls of men. s'ProYe
all things, hold fast that which is good, - has
as much to do with the practical side of life
as it has with the moral side Our readers
will bear testimony that in all questions dis
eussed In the Aader, the practical has been
duly set forth. In this paragraph, therefore,
we only seek to present an article worthy of
commentator. After subjeeting it to the
above test we have tried Swift's Specific and
found it good--good as a blood purifier, good
as a health tonic In this opinion we are
sustained by some of the best men In the
church. Rev. Jesse H. Campbell, the NestOr
of the Baptist denomination In Georgia, says:
sit is my deliberate judgment that Swift's
Specific is the grandest blood purifier ever
discovered. Its effects are wonderful, and l
consider them almost miraculous. There is
no medicine comparable to it.n DIR. H. G.

The late engagement Of the Turkish
troops with the Roumelian, has de-
cided tendency TO make ono believe
that a bloody European war is a thing
Of the near future. In fact the bloody
contest has already begun on small
scale, and time is al that is necessary
for its development. The neighbor-
ing nations that interest themselves ia
the matter of dispute, are beginning 10
pick the flint and unsheathe the sword.
At the FIRST scent Of blood the Rus
sian bear breaks to the rear and shows
by his actions that he would rather be
excused With the same facilities
and opportunities the British lion
growls, and begins to prepare for the
oneoming struggle. When the tron-
Bile is ended, according to custom, the
lions share will be set apart for his
namesake.
The effect a foreign war would have
on the United States naturally inter
ests us more than any other phase of
the question. Happily, our geograph-
zeal position places us beyond the
reach Of any of tire evils that would
result from war, but unhappily again
we are rather too far to receive com
mercial benefit from it. 1t would af
ford temporary relief to our present
depression of business. Hence our
chances to be benefited are far greater
than they are to be injured. This, of
course, is no reason that we should
even hope for a war, but if it must
come we will make the most out of it
we can, and we certainly will derive
more benefit from it than any of those
nations actively engaged.

THE .f1GRT " NEW roRK.


The campaign just opened IN the
great State Of New York promises a
square, stand-up fight between De
moeracy and Repnblicanism. Each
party seems to be fully regathering its
own strength. The Independent Re
pablieans, who supported Mr. Cleve-
land because Of Mr.. Blaine's well.
known unworthiness, appear to be
satisfied with the Republican ticket
headed BY Ira Davenport, and the
signs indicate that they viii give il
their support.
On the other hand, the nomination
81 Gov. Hill has given new life 10 the
Democracy Of that State and caused
the return to the party organization
all OF the heretofore malcontents
Tammany, the county Democracy and
the Irving Hall factions have become
more harmonious than ever before
What the Democratic ticket is to lose
by reason Of the return of the Mug,
wumps to their party will be more
than compensated by the harmony and
enthusiasm over the nomination Of
Gov. Hill, as 1t was apparent from the
election returns last November that
the voting strength of the Mngwumps,
though manifestly sufficient to turn
the closely balanced scales in New
York, was entirely ovcrestimated and
BY no means commensurate with their
demonstrations through their press.
The New York San, which is now
most enthusiastic in its support of the
Democratic ticket, is the represents
tive of a more numerous class of
voters that did not support Mr.. Cleve-
land, and who are now supporting
Gov. Hill, than the entire body Of In
dependent Republicans who may sup
port Davenport. In the city of New
York alone the present State ticket
will probably poll fifteen to twenty
thousand more votes than were given
to Mr.. Cleveland. While the Pres
ident has carefully abstained from
any official interference in his own
States canvass, the Democratic ticket
viii no doubt be greatly strengthened
by Mr.. Cleveland's admirable admin
istration of the government. 1T is well
understood that he approves the nom
nations, and the Democracy of New
York will naturally feel that the coun-
try looks to them to sustain their
President.
On the whole, there is nothing dis
couraging in the New York outlook.
The party, so far as appears, has
gained more in voting strength than it
has lost. The State is a very close
one in a strict party division, and the
advantage of possession is with the
Democrats. Their ticket is very
strong one, and we have all confidence
that they will carry the State.

CaIcasieu Parish Exhibit an the
American Exposition.
Editor Lake Charles Echo

Editor Lake Charles Echo
At meeting of the Horticultural
Society of Southwestern Louisiana, at
Jennings, it was resolved, "That we
petition the Police Jury to make an
appropriation for an exhibit of the
products of this parish at the Ameri-
can Exposition at New Orleans"
The members of our Society have
been waiting (impatentIy) to hear a
response from the older residents 5of
this parish to your earnest appeals, in
regard to an exhibit from this parish,
at the American Exposition at New
Orleans. When we consider the vast
undeveloped resources of our parish,
it does seem to us that every citizen
should be willing to lend helping
hand to make an exhibit that would
be an honor to our parish.
New Orleans is annually importing
thousands of tons of hay while mil
lions of tons of grass are allowed to
decay annually on our vast prairies,
that would, with proper manipulation,
make very superior quality of hay,
and yield a large and profitable rev,
enue to our farmers. Let us make an
exhibit of the thirty or more varieties
of nutritious grasses, all excellent for
pasture and hay, that grow so lnxuri,
antly on our beautiful prairies; also
samples OF it in bales of hay. A loos,
ening of the purse strings and some
intelligent work in this matter will
pay handsome dividend on the in,
vestment. There are millions in it fol
the citizens of Calcasieu parish.
