, THE LEvEE QUESTION.

The Police Jury met on Monday
last, and the Board had q large
and enthusiastic audience. There
was slight disposition, shown by
this audience to turn the affair into
a mass meeting. That citizen,
not member of the Board, is per-
mitted to address the Board, is q
matter of courtesy on the part OF
the Board, that should be so re-
ceived, but there was FREQ and
easy sort of Hurley Burnley mani
tested, that 1t would be, not unde-
sirable, for the Board to dispense,
with, in future.
There was much enthusiasm dis
played on the subject Of levees,
and an earnest desire, shown, to
have the lcvecs repaired and raised.
1t was further desired by quite a
number of gentlemen, to spend
about all the money on hand, on
the levecs, but the suggestion that
tax of five mills, or more, be levied
for lovee purposes, did not excite
the same enthusiasm.
The fact that there is several
thousand dollars on hand from the
accumulated funds of several back
years, appears to have set the
parish wild, and the number Of
schemes on hand to dispose of that
money, clearly demonstrates the
fertility of resource, of the average
Madison Parish man.. There is
now on hand about $500, which
can be used only for levee pur-
poses, and it is seriously proposed,
to use, not only this amount, but
all other amounts, that can be got
ten hold of, to use on the levees.
In all successful businesses, it is
considered essential, that the cur
rent expenses Of the concern,
should be promptly paid. The
same rule will apply very properly,
TO the affairs of the parish, and
before turning the Treasury into a
grab-bag it would be eminently
proper, and if you will excuse the
slang, the correct thing, to provide
for the payment of current 'ex-
pense of the parish, before indulg-
ing in any other financial PROPOSE
ton, whatever.
II is, of course necessary, that the
lcvces should be built, but when
the special levee tax was suggested
last year, it was met by the argu.
ment that the planters could no,
afford TO be taxed; that they had
suffered so much loss, that they
were not in a condition to bear any
extra burdens. Every indication
points to q prosperous year, thii
year, and as the preliminary, 20
wards building levces, it should b,
proposed that special tax shout,
be levied, for the purpose of raisin,
a levee fund. If the planters ON,
citizens generally, arc not in favo
of levying this tax, then let tn
levees go, and keep the ordinar,
revenues TO pay the ordinary ex
penses. If, on the contrary, tn,
people of the parish, manifest
desire to help themselves and ar,
willing that special tax SHOULD
be levied, then it is plainly TIT
duty of the Police Jury to meet
half way, the desires of the people
and swell the sum raised by the
special tax, by every available cent
at their disposal for such purpose

Cancer of the Tongue.
A Case Resembling that of Gen. Grant.


Some ten years ago had a scrofulous sore on
my right hand which gave me great trouble, and
under the od-time treatment healed up but it had
only been driven into the system by the use of
potash and mercury, and in March, 1882, it broke
out In my throat, and concentrated in what some
of the doctors called cancer, eating through my
cheek, destroying the roof OF my mouth and upper
lip, then attacked my tongue, palate and lower
lip destroyng the palate and under lip entirely and
half my tongue, eating out to the top of my left
cheek bone and up to the left eye. / could not
eat any solid food but Subsisted on liquids andmy
tongue was so far gone. l could not talk. Such
was my wretched, helpless condition the first of
last October 1854, when my friends commenced
giving me Swift's Specific. In less than a month
the eating places stopped and healing COM
menced, and the fearful aperture in my cheek has
been closed and firmly knitted together A pro-
cess OF a new under lip is progressing finely, and
the tongue which was almost destroyed is being
recovered, and it seems that nature is supplying
new tongue. can talk so that my friends can
readily understand me, and can also eat solid
food again. If any doubt these facts, would re-
fer them to Hon. John H. Traylor, State Senator
of this district, and to DR.. 7. S. Bradfeld of La
