LAKE CHARLES LOUISIANA SATURDAY
THE Old ORCHARD.

In memory's halls some pictures dwell,
With dear associations blest;
Whatever be our treasures there
This stands apart from all the rest.
With some it is a face, flower,
A glorious day, sunset hour,
A something that's beyond compare;
But unto me the one most fair
Is of a grey old orchard sweet,
With bloom leaves scattered at my feet,
With robins fitting through the trees,
And music from the humming bees.
1t was my childhood's playing ground,
And of it brightest memories come,
My brothers and my sisters dear
Played in 1t round our happy home;
When all our little tasks were done
The orchard echoed with our fun;
And robin gay, now gone to rest,
Tuned up his throat, with ruffied crest,
But wondering hushed, in mute surprise
While listening to the merry cries
Of children In their gladsome mirth,
The happiest sound in all the earth.
You cannot die to me, old trees,
What though your usefulness be DER,
You're living In my memory yet
As bright as In the days Of yore,
When your spring blossoms, pink and fair,
Made fragrant all the balmy air:
Or when your summers leafy shade
A cool retreat for children made;
Or autumn's sunripe fruit so sweet
Was gathered from around our feet,
And by our father stored away
To cheer us on some wintry day.
o, days have soon dropped into years,
The years into q lifetime grow,
And heads that then were dark or fair
VIII soon be sprnkled DER with snow;
But years may come or years may go,
Bring wealth or want, Joy or woe;
Fame, with her mocking laugh, may come
And settle round my humble home,
But only death from me can take
The picture which those old trees make,

HEART DISEASE,
A Convenient Term Which Of
ten Covers Other Derange-
ments.

Golden Rule.
If it is not almost fashion to have
some form Of disease of the heart it
is certain that the disease is often sus.
pected, the idea of its presence pro-
ducing a great deal of anxiety, often
unwarranted. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that many of these "palpitations,"
these suspected heart diseases, are re-
ferable to arrangements of the stom-
ach, arrangements of the digestive
process, durable by proper dieting. An
over-distending stomach, either by an
excess of food or gas, may SO interfere
with the action of the heart as to induce
certain symptoms which may seem of
a critical character, which would be
removed by lighter supper, by proper
dieting, by the use of foods which will
not tax the stomach unduly, and by
general observance of the laws of
our being. Before becoming unduly
alarmed, it will be safe to restrict the
use of highly indigestible foods, so
changing the habits of diet as to Sc
cure good digestion.
1t will be safe to avoid pork, lard,
rich pastry, new bread, the more irri-
tstipg spices, with intoxicants and to-
bacco.
Still, there are heart affections when
fatty deposits affect that organ, those
unusually feshy, fat and Compliant,
being the special victims. Excessive
fatness, when it extends to the heart
and its surroundings, is always a grave
condition. So long as the fat deposits |
are confined to the less important It's
sues surrounding the heart, serious
apprehension need not be felt. There |
is more or less discomfort, shortness
and difficulty of breathing on exertion
after meals, and auscultation deter
mines the existence of cardiac dullness
and weakness of what is called the
apex beat-tbe result of diminished
space for the hearts action of com
preston by the adjacent fat, rather
than of degeneration of the heart
itself.
When the heart muscle is not in
yolyed, the case is simply and readily
durable. But il is not always easy for
the medical adviser to satisfy himself
that the heart itself is uninjured, since
the functional disturbance caused by
orowding, stimulates and may be mis-
taken for the earlier stages of heart
failure. 1t is always important to
know how far the disease has pro-
crossed and it may be well to note
certain symptoms which unfailingly
point to the more serious heart degen-
,ration. If the heart-muscle is in
,olved, and not merely its surround
ngs, the difficulty of breathing will
lot be confined to periods of unusual
,xertion or fullness of the stomach; it
viii either exist continually, or occur
frequently without apparent cause. If
he patient is over forty, with an un-
aVorable hereditary history and feeble J
rterial circulation, together with at
ack of angina pectoris, OF spasm Of

nd a sense Of ,suffoeation and faint J

ure Of the heart. If a blueness of

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh.
boring organs At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency uneasiness OF
the stomach etc. A moisture, like perspra-
ton, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of DR. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting permanent
cure. Price so cents. Address, The Dr. Bo-

Good Manners.
Exchange

Good manners constitute the most
valuable of earthly possessions. All
may have them by the cultivation Of
the affections, and none without it,
Only for tho few are learning and
genius, wit and beauty, wealth and
fame but good manners, with their
dowry Of happiness, are for all who
are willing to pay the price Of self
culture. That lady lives not, what
ever her station in life, but who by
amiable temper, pleasant words, and
kind acts, may shed light and comfort
on the hearts and homes Of earth.
That man is yet to be born who may
not possess those elements Of power,
If trne to the obligations Of his being,
which brighten and bless human So
ciety. There Is 4 wealth Of affection
ana kindness N every human heart, if

A good wife is to man wisdom,

confusion, weakness and despair No
condition is hopeless to man where
the wife possesses firmness, decision

Man is strong but his heart Is not
adamant, He needs tranquil mind;
and If he is an intelligent man, with a
whole head, ho needs its moral force
in the conflict of life. To recover his

peace and comfort There his soul
renews its strength and goes forth

The average northern citizen seems
to be under the impression that The
great State Of Louisiana is one inter.
minable succession Of bogs, lagoons,
swamps, marshes and frog ponds.
How they ever became possessed 81
such an erroneous idea it is hard to
imagine. Bat one thing is certain, a
more untrue estimate Of the topo-
| graphy of any country has never
worked against its prosperity more
than that which generally prevails in
regard to Louisiana. It may be that
this unfortunate state of affairs is the
result of the charlatan and empiricist,
or il may bo due to the misrepresenta-
tions Of rival communities which hope
to profit at our expense. In either
case it is time for these systematic
misrepresentation 10 cease. Let the
State press speak out against the false
position in which our fair land has
been placed by ignorant and evil dis
posed persons, and let our citizens
embrace every opportunity to correct
ly inform every stranger they meet Of
the true condition Of the territory
within the State limits.
Talk TO northern man about the
"hills" of Louisiana, and ninetv-nine
times in hundred he would ridicule
the idea. Yet Is fact beyond con
troversy that two-thirds of this State

Sargent to the United States Depart

ot that area being long leaf pine.
Every person who knows anything Of
forestry knows that the growth Of

"TIle Real Question -
Baton Rouge CapitolIan- Advocate.

Baton Rouge CapitolIan- Advocate.
Oar esteemed contemporary, the
Truth, argues that no principle is in.
volved in the bestowal of public pat,
ronage by the President, and on that
theory it proceeds to censure Senator
Eustis and other Democrats for their
disapproval of Mr. Cleveland's course,
in reference thereto.
We regard the policy of appointing
Republicans and Independents to Of
fee, or of retaining them in Office, by
Democratic administration, as tanta-
mount TO a declaration that there are
no distinctive principles necessitating
the maintenance of the two great par
ties, or that the Democratic party
alone, cannot safely be entrusted with
the administration of the government.
Democrats who have followed their
party through q quarter of century
of successive defeats, cannot be ex-
pected in the hour of victory h lower
their flag and to make 50 humilatng
confession TO their opponents,
Our conception of Democratic policy
is in entire disaccord with the one thus
far pursued by Mr., Cleveland, and we
cannot, consistently with our conyic-
tions, give it our sanction and ap-
proVal. We regard it as contrary TO
The theory Of popular government ;
which renders the existence of politi-
cal parties absolutely necessary to the
maintenance Of principles laid down
by the majority in the conventions.
A policy that seeks to obliterate party
lines, tends to reduce the adherents of
political parties 10 the position of
mere followers or retainers of ambi
tious men. If persisted in, 1t must
produce political chaos, and inevitably
lead to Ciesarism, so soon as a strong
man arises who can bend the masses
TO obedience to his belests and attach |
them TO his fortunes.
Therefore, We are nncquiYocally OPP |
posed to the idea of entrpsting the |
administration of the government TO
men who have 20 fixed principles and |
are ready TO seek Or accept Office from
any party. This class, IN our opinion,
are the real spoilsmen.
II is not astonishing that Democrats
who voted for Mr. Cleveland, as they
would have done for any other nomi-
nee, 10 pnt the government In Demo
cratic hands, should now protest
against and oppose the prostitution Of |
the power of their party to theory |
Of government clearly destructive Of |
is prestige and antagonistic TO Tie
principles Of popular government,
which i has always upheld.
