The Shreveport Times of yester-
day gives the following particulars
of destructive storm which visited
q portion of this parish Tuesday:
"Froms Major c. McClanahan, of
Collinsburg, we learned that q vio-
lent storm of wind and rain swept
over a portion of Bossier at about ]
o'clock yesterday. The frstevidences
of the storm are visible at OEden's
store, near the Willow Chute bridge.
Fences were blown down, trees up
rooted and crops more or less injur-
ed. The storm crossed the river at
w. c. Vance's plantation.
"Our friend, MIR. r. K. Colquitt,
informed us that al about o'clock
yesterday wind storm accompanied
with rain and hail swept over his
plantation which is a few miles below
the city. The wind was from the
north, but shifted to the west and
was very terrific while it lasted The
hail covered the ground and in places
cut the corn and cotton into shreds
He lost 20 chickens which were killed
by hail stones. One half of the roof
ion. the gin house, on DIR. d. M. Clay's
plantation was blown off and three
heavy planks from that building
driven across the river by violence of
the wind were embedded in the river
bank. The path of the storm was
about one-quarter of a mile in width
and was very destructive. Mr.. Col
quit stated that his oats were beaten
to the groundandwil be atotal loss.
Large trees were uprooted, fences
scattered in every direction and near
" all the corn and cotton. in the
storms path were FRUSTRATED. The
wind was more violent and. destruc-
tive in places and appeared to rise
and fall as it moved along in its work
of destruction. There. May have
been other sufferers but owing to the
late hours at which the news was re.
ceived, it was impossible to- obtain
further particulars"

America Ahead.-P0cuIA0r
characteristics Of AMert-
cans The Evils amG How
Restored.
In this age of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises
the American people are taking the lead
in the furtherance of noble works, and in
the advancement of the sciences and arts.
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works of millions,
the American continent is fast being
transformed from its untaned state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race,
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fications; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaint,
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S S. Cloudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes: That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep--
STA for several years: that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles of the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. 1t braced
him right up and gave him energy, and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says it
| is wonderful remedy.
Adolph Bakhaus & Co, Springfield, O.,
writes :" We are having good sale for
PERUNA. 1t sells as well as any medicine
we have, and gives the very best satisfac-
ton"
Mrs. G.. w. Needham, Newtonville,
/ Clefn1ont County, Ohio, says: i have
been great sufferer for the last six or
seven years, with general debility and
change of life.- / was very much reduced.
| Ihave takenfouf bottles of PHKUNA, which
has restored. me. to perfect health and
strength. We think PERUNA safe and
grand medicine"

In this strange world of perpetual
change we are met by many resem-
blances to a resurrection. Without
much exaggeration we call them
resurrections. There is the resurrec-
tion of the moth from the grave of
the chrysalis. For many ages the
scnlptured butterfly was the type and
emblem of immortality. Because it
passes into state of torpor or dead
ness, and because from that it energies
by a kind of resurrection-the same,
yet not the game-in all the radiance
of fresh and beautiful youth, never
again TO be supported by the course
substance of earth, but destined
heneeforth to nourish its etherealized
existence on the nectar of the flowers,
the ancients saw in that transforma-
tion something added to their hopes
of Immortality. Il was their beauti-
full symbol Of the souls indestructi-
bility.

'1t is q strange and mournful truth, -
says Robertson, "that the qualities
which enable men to shine are exactly
those which minister to the worst
ruin. Gods highest gifts-talent,
beauty, feeling, imagination, power;
they carry with them the possibility
Of the highest heaven and the lowest
hell. Be sure that it is by that which
is highest in you that you may be
lost. It is the awful warning, and moi
the excuse of evil, that the light
which leads astray is light from
heaven. The shallow fshing-boal
glides safely over the reefs where the
noble bark strands: it is the very
might and majesty Of her career thai
bury the sharp rock deeper in hel
bosom"

The OKLAHOMA REGIoN.-The Okla
homa region, about which there is so
much excitement, is tract of land
extending from Red River in Indian
Territory TO the Kansas line, contain
ing about Ia, 600, 600 acres. The tract
is some 800 miles in length from
north to south, and 200 miles in
breadth. It was purchased by the
Government in 1866, of the Greek,
Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw and
Seminole Indians, with the view to
settling freedmen and friendly In
dams thereon. A good deal of the
land is of excellent quality, well
watered, and tempting to land-grab-
bers It is said that none Of the pur-
chase money has been paid, while the
lands obtained of the Cherokees
were by the terms of the sale to re-
main in possession of the tribe until
occupied and paid for.

An Excellent Spine.
Golden ArEosy.l

Golden Argosy.l
Ii the Scriptures it is related that
Danisi was preferred above princes
because no had an excellent spirit"
In him.. A boy being asked, in hts
Sundsy-school class, why Daniel was
thus preferred said, Because he had
an excellent spine in him" This
boys blunder on the word "spine" is
amusing, but yet his answer hit the
nail square on the head. Daniel
got on because he had backbone"
enough to stand up against corrup-
ton.
There was never time in the his
tory of the world when "spine" was
needed more than to-day. Fraud
seems to have crept into every line
of business. Formerly it used to be
said that Corporations had no souls.
It was meant by this that when men
united In associations and worked
under a president and directors, they
would do things as a body which
they would be ashamed to do as indi-
viduals. But to-day it looks as if the
old proverb had lost its peculiar force.
Men have let down the bars more in
business, till it sometimes seems as if
any trick were thought iustifable if
it led to making a dollar. It is diff
cult now to buy anything that is not
adulterated. Dealers do not hesitate
to misrepresentation lie outright
Spectators are not particular whose
money they use, or how they get it.
Men hardly dare trust their dearest
friends. And all this sort of thing is
tolerated, so long as it brings success.
Thus it is that the boys of to-day
need doubly stiff backbone to stand
up against dishonesty. Respectable
usage leads them into temptation at
every step. Fraud is gilded by wealth,
and young eyes are dazzled. Almost
above all else, what youth needs to
cultivate is an excellent spine"

CLEVELAND'S CABINET.

The Cabinet of President Cleveland
will be announced before another week en-
pires, but nothing positive is as yet known
of the Cabinets composition. Prominent
Democrats have fixed up the following
Cabinet slate: For Secretary of State,
Bayard, of Delaware; Secretary of the
Treasury, Manning, of New York; Post
master General, Lamar of Mississippi
Secretary of the Interior, Thurman of
Ohio; Secretary of War, Villas of Wiscon-
sin; Secretary of the Navy; Attorney-Gen-
eral, Garland of Arkansas. In consider
ing the probabilities Mannings appoint
menl is considered doubtful, and if the ma
jori,y Of the leading Democrats of the
country could be heard on the question it
is thought that Cleveland would be COM
PEELED to select some other Democrat for
the position. 1t is asserted, with little room
for doubt, that Bayard, Lamar, Villas, and
Garland, will be given Cabinet places. For
the NAVY portfolio New Hampshire and
Massachusetts men are named. No &C.
curate prediction can be made as to the
final makeup of the Cabinet, but Pacific
Coasters will get no representative.

PuNrsHMENr FOR wIFE-BEATERs.

The restoration Of the whipping post as
penalty for wife-beating is being consid-
cred by the Legislature of Pennsylvania
and placarding by the Legislature Of Mon
tana. This form Of punishment, although
relic of barbarism, is not a particle too
severe for any man guilty of the barbarous
practice of beating his wife. The terrors
of the whipping post might have tenden-
CIV to restrain the brutes who are in the
habit of indulging in that brutal pastime'
The bill introduced in the Council, by DR.
Mitchell, bids fair to become a law Of Mon
tana Territory Such law should have
been placed on Our statute books several
years ago when introduced in the Council
bv the gentleman from Deer Lodge. The
bill now before the Legislature provides
that any man, convicted Of wife beating,
shall be tied to a pillar or post in some
conspicuous place in the village, town or
CITY in which the offence was committed
with large placard attached to his back or
breast bearing the words "wife beaten" but
the proposed measure for Montana does
not go so far as to provide whipping post.
It is reported that in States where law is
in force similar to the Mitchell bill that
wife-beating is fast dying out. We hope
DIR. Mitchell will succeed in making his
bill law at this session, so that in the tu-
ture brutal husbands might be restrained
from indulging in wife.beating and punish
ed when convicted of the act
