The BAY, July 80, 1885
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Having had good rain yesterday,
we feel in good spirits. We have just
taken a neighboring round, inspecting
crop prospects, which we find very en-.
couraging in proportion to the atten-
tion they have received. We SEQ nor
hear of no caterpillars in our section
yet, and the July light nights being
almost passed, we anticipate no trouble
from that pest this year.
We have not obtained that preacher
yet, but we have lumber on the ground
to build the house. We prefer a
Methodist, but we will accept and sup
port Baptist, if he will not plunge us
too deep nor hold us too long under
water, nor suffocate rs with close COM
munion; we can't stand everything,
and pay for it to boot.
We have a private school now going
on at the old Pine Grove church house,
taught by Mrs. Fl. G. Lyles and this
calls to our mind blunder in the old
teacher (H. G. e. that we dare expose.
He is the only person in this vicinity
who takes the Echo, and being ex-
tremely anxious that the sixteenth
section of school land should sell, he
used his influence accordingly urged
the constituency to turn out, had them
meet on the 2sth inst, qualified the
commissioners, and proceeded with the
election. His wife sent for him to
come to the house (of course knowing
what he was doing,) and asked him II
it was not August 2sth instead of July
292 He looked at the advertisement,
color, and remarked, "They
all ought to take the EcHo," went
back to the store, broke up the cleo
lion and got off somewhere.
We hear of the death of one of
The daughters of our esteemed friend
and neighbor, VIM. J. Dunn, which
took place yesterday about 10 or ii
o'clock, a. M, from the intra fusing
Of a spinal abscess. Death, of course,
was inevitable, nevertheless deplor-
able. She was a lovely girl, and idol !
zed by her parents, yet the most
,killful physician was called in vain.
Yours truly, SCRAP.

twice defeated for the nomination for
Governor by the faction to which |
belong. told him l thought it was
time to put an end to the cat-and-dog
fighting in the party. | offered him
my support for the collectorship, and
worked for him. My friends indorsed
my action. Had Mr.. Ogden been ap-
pointed the party would have been
united. At that time Mr.. Jonas was
a candidate for Cabinet position and
was not thought of for collector. l
have criticised Mr.. Cleveland because
l am a Democrat, and as member
of the party have right to criticise
the acts of so-ealled leader. But
HE IS NOT DEMOCRAT,
and he has not shown proper respect
for the party; whether his judgment is
bad or his actions are the result of
treacherous conduct toward the party
he claims to represent is a question:"
The World, in noticing the inter
view, says editorially: "Scnator Eus-
tis, who returned from Europe yester-
day, is still covered with war paint.
He reiterates his dissatisfaction with
the way things are going, politically,
and is evidently in for a war on the
administration. He will probably find
more followers now than when he went
abroad. There are more disappointed
Democrats in the country"
The Star, of this city, says edito-
rally on the subject: "Senator Eustis
has returned from Europe in q pugna-
cious mood. He denounces the Pres
ident point blank, and claims that the
party must renounce him as traitor.
The trouble all lies in the offices. Ac-
to Senator Eustis. TO keep
a horde of unscrupulous, ignorant and |
died-in the-wool and Extensively parti-
san Radical leaders in office all over
the country under Democratic rule is
in direct violation and contradiction
of the very principles of Democracy
The Senator is evidently quite put out
because the Republicans are not, but
be should remember that the President
has promised to remove just the classes
Of men he describes"

Canned Goods.
The sanitarian.

Inc GhultAIlau.
Every cap should be examined, and
if two holes are found in it, send it at
once to the health board, with the
contents and the name of the grocer
who sold it.
Reject all articles of canned food
that do not show the line Of resin
around the edge of the solder on the
cap, the same as is seen on the seam
at the side Of the can.
STANDARD" or iirst.class goods have
not only the name of the factory, but
also that of the wholesale house which
sells them, on the label "seconds, !"
or doubtful, or "reprocessed" goods
have ststoek-labeW of some mythical
canning house, but do not have the
name Of any wholesale grocer on
them. Reject all goods that do not
have the name Of the factory and also
the name 81 some wholesale firm on
the label.
A "swell," or decomposing can of
goods, can always be detected by
pressing in the bottom Of the can. A
sound can pressed will give a solid
feel. When gas from the deeomposi-
tion Of the food Is inside the can the
tin win rattle BY pressing the bottom,
as you displace the gas in the can,
Reject every can that shows any
rust around the cap on The outside Of
The head Of the can. II housewives
are educated TO these points, then
muriate Of zinc amaIgum win become
thing Of the past, and dealers in
,'swellse will have to seek other oceu-
patton.

GRIT
BY W. r. wHALEN.

Some call 1t luck, dear brother jim.
Some term it common sense;
While others still with equal vim
Pronounce 1t Providence.
But believe, in spite of all,
Fate, Providence or wit,
Bull-headed luck or braZen gall.
It's proper name is 'fgrit."
IT'S well for those, dear brother Jim,
With time and cash to spare
To lift their hearts and hands to Him
In everlasting prayer.
But prayer alone won't win the fight,
In spite Of holy writ;
'Tis acts that tell, or wrong or right,
And actions call for "grit."
I've seen In trial tests of speed
The horse that balks or breaks,
Although he sometimes takes the lead,
He never takes the stakes.
While ''sure and steady-on-the-stride, "
Though slower on the bit,
Is often on the winning side
Because he's got the "grit."
I've seen some fellows In my time,
Good, noble men and strong,
With hearts less human than divine,
Who couldn't get along.
No matter where you placed them, Jim,
They didn't seem to fit;
They couldn't win or sink or swim;
They didn't have the "grit."
Amid the countless ills of life,
Its pleasures and its woes,
The strongest factors In the strife
Are steady licks and blows;
And though we may not always win
We never will submit,
But still wade in, dear brother Jim,
And die like men of "grit."

Day CREEK, La, Aug. 8, 1885.
Editor Lake Charles Echo;
How suicidal it is when patient
under able treatment refuses or neg
lects to conform to the requirements
of doctor so successful in such cases
as seem to attack "Tacitus."
Those things--the hypos--are back
on him again, with now and then dele
rious spells, which give use to such
detached and incoherent ideas as these:
"Seventy-iye dollars per month" !"
"Sawdust," Gardener, Hair Vigor,
At times the phantom of bald
head looms up before his set gaze /;
and, 0, what contortions of counten-
ance But have been Howard"
to him, land don't You forget it."
My mission is TO do good, and | am
happy. And now, as the bald head
dissolves from view, if | can keep off
the appearance of huge set of whis-
kers, | am confident no "checks will
be handed in" and | am glad enough.
What folly, to find fault with nature,
Can poor, miserable man cause her TO
be less parsimonious in her dispense
tions. If she gives one an enviable
set of whiskers, at the expense of
bald head, she may endow another
with an oyeVplus of disernmsnt and
intellectual power, at the cost of some
bodily functuns in the shape of "Bad
Liver" So | must still continue to
recommend Liver Regulator, with in
creased doses until his tongue cleans
off to suit me.

Shreveport Times: In the suits OF
John Lake, sheriff and w. P. Ford,
clerk VS.. Parish of Caddo, for services
in summoning juries, Judgment was
rendered Yesterday by S. L. Taylor,
Judge of the First Judicial District
Court, in favor of plaintiffs. The court
in the opinion holds that "a jury is
as much part of the court at jury
term as the Judge on the bench,
for without their cooperation the
power of the court would be paralyzed
in all jury business; that services rem
dered in summoning jurors are not
services in criminal matters, hence the
parish is bound to pay for the drawing
and summoning of the juries.

A Negro Blacksmith Makes a
Valuable Invention.
MONTGOMERY va Messenger.

Montgomery (Va.) Messenger.
Minnis Haden, worthy colored
blacksmith of this place, has lately in
vented one of the most ingenious and
valuable devices we have ever seen.
Being a poor man and unable to en-
ploy hand as striker, he cast about
how he might do by machinery what
heretofore could be done only by the
hand Of man. The result,of his cogi-
tations is piece of very simple ma
chinery by which the striking hammer
is easily and effectively worked by his
foot, while he has both hands free to
hold his iron and use the small ham
mer. To listener the blows come as
naturally and as rapidly as If there
were two men handling the hammers
in the old-fashioned way, but there is
a difference The machine, by an easy
motion of the foot on the treadle,
strikes harder blow than any man
can strike, aud can be made at will to
strike as light'a blow as may be need
ed. But the use of this simple and
cheap device in the blaeksmith's shop
is not half. II can be just as easily
used, and will find a large field of pse
fulness, in driving drill for blasting
rock. In its present form, without
any change, one man can drive drill
perpendicularly as easily as three men
now do the same work. BY very
simple aud easy plan, hammers can be
provided and attached, which will
make it just as easy to drive a hole
horizontally Or at any required angle,
and the whole work can be dono by
one man. The machine is portable
and need not be very heavy. Mr, p,
w. Frizzell has become part owner
Of this invention. A cayeat has been
secured, and Mr.. Frizzell is expecting
10 receive q patent as soon as The pa-
pers can Be made out.

he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh

gestion are present, fiatulency, uneasiness OF

after getting warm, is a common attendant.

WASHINGTON, August 4.-The New

view with Senator James B. Eustis,
recently arrived from Europe with his
family, relative to his expression of
displeasure with the administration

the country in April.
The reporter produced the article
and asked if Mr.. Eustis had anything
further to say on the subject.

could not control the patronage of

nothing to break, because he has ut

pletely upset me. This gentleman
was Bolter, and a Bolter in Louisi-
