As remedy for that much-dreaded di-
sease, diphtheria, the following should be
of great interest to both physician and
parent:
Ruth Lockwood the 9-year old child OF
Thomas Lockwood, of the New York
Times, became violently i'll with diphthe-
ria on Tuesday night. She was so weak
that it was deemed dangerous to try trach-
eotomy, or cutting open the wind-pipe. On
Thursday DR.. Nichols, who was attending
her, received copy of the Paris Ftgdro,
which contained n report made to the
French Academy of Medicine by DIR. Del
thil who said that the vapors of liquid tar
and turpentine would dissolve the fibrlnous
exudations which choke up the throat In
Group and diphtheria. DIR, Delthils pro
cess was described. He pours equal parts
of turpentine and liquid tar into tin pan
or cup and sets fire to the mixture. A
dense resinous smoke arises, which per
meates the air of the room. "The patient,
DR.. Delthil says, Immediately seems to
experience relief; the choking and rattle
stop; the patient falls into slumber and
seems to inhale the smoke with pleasure
l he lDTlDouS Hciu vi aiic o'oii p'.'h'N W
tached, and the patient coughs up micro
bicides. These when caught in a glass
may he seen to dissolve in the smoke. In
the course of three days afterward the pa,
tient entirely recovers,' DR.. Nichols tried
this treatment with little Ruth Lockwood
She was lying gasping for breath when he
visited her Firmly pouring out two table
spoonfuls of liquid tar on an iron pan, he
poured as much turpentine over it ana sci
il on fire. The rich resinous smoke which
rose to the ceiling was by no means un
pleasant. As it filled the room the child'
breathing became natural, and as the
smoke grew dense she fell asleep, to awake
relieved and to recover perfect health
We suggest that this vapor should be USED
where danger is apprehended 1t is easier
to prevent than 10 cure.

One of the most enjoyable features of
the exposition has been the selection of
special DAYS as state days, when the citizens
of state may meet, and listening to speech
es and other entertainments, formally cele'
brate the opening of the exhibit
On the nth of March the citizens OF Ne
braska assembled at the beautiful head
quarters of the state and listened to several
eloquent speeches interspersed with choice
selections of music by the Mexican Typi-
cal Orchestra, after which the favored as
sembly were treated to refreshments, con
sisttng of a generous supply of cake and
presented with several very pretty souye-
Mrs of the occasion, leaving in all minds
lively appreciation of the generosity OF tn e
state.
Tennessee chose March Nth, the ll1th
anniversary of the birth OF her famous son,
Andrew Jackson, for the formal opening OF
her exhibit A delegation OF the Tenn
legislature was present and hundreds OF
Tennessee's citizens were in attendance.
The exercises were of a somewhat peri
patetic nature, beginning a, the state de
partnent and proceeding from there to the
woman's work department, thence to the
Colored exhibit and from there TO the edu-
cational department, addresses being made
in each place, that of Hon. 5. \. McElwee
fcoloredJ being particularly eloquent
After this the Tennesseeans, with thous-
ands Of other visitors, assembled in Music

Firemen's SemI-Centennial.

New ORLEANS, March 16, 1SS5'-One
of the most interesting of recent events in
New Orleans has been the semicentennial
celebration of the organization OF the city
fire department. Unlike other great cities
New Orleans has retained the volunteer
system in her fire department and her citl
zens take great interest in it. Annually on
the 4th of March the streets are crowded
tor miles along the line OF march to witness
the triumphal procession of the brave men
who are always ready to. risk life for 9th
ers.
This year the day had special signifi-
cation. Unmarked the re-establislment OF
the power of the democratic party after a
quarter of century of defeat and 1t cele-
brated the fiftieth anniversary Of the es-
fablishment of the New Orleans fire de-
partment. The day that saw Grover Cleve-
land seated in the presidential chair, found
New Orleans filed with strangers while
many visiting companies were the guests
of the department In spite of cold wind
and dismal rain large crowds assembled
early on the streets to view the procession.
The rain was so persistent however, that
the parade was postponed until the next
day when the spectators viewed one OF the
grandest parades ever seen in New Orleans.
Twenty eight fire companies, besides sew
eral juvenile organizations, numbering full
ly $500, marched in line.
A hundred marshals lent dignity to the
parade, while forty carriages bore the
guests of honor, with veterans grown
gray in the service and long exempt from
active duty
Thirty bands of music enlivened the
air, their strains intermingled with the
Ginning of bells on the trappings of the
horses. The engines were drawn by spe
cial teams of six or eight horses each, led
by fancifully dressed jockeys, while within
the ranks walked proudly the engine horses
with gilded hoofs and richly decorated
coverings of satin. But it was upon the
engines that the greatest labor ana expense
had been bestowed. Bouquets, festoons and
pyramids of gold and silver fringe, ribbons
and natural flowers almost hid the body of
the engines, shining as bright as metal
could be made, while nearly all bore EN-
blematic figures, many of which were very
beautiful and artistic. One was King Cot
ton, representing $ sovereign in his royal
robes seated upon throne of state. AT his
feet was bale of cotton, while below was
a Negro picking cotton, the whole being
formed of cotton.
The liberty bell was prominent In many
of the decorations, a token of restored
friendship and amity between North and
South. The day closed with minor par

Company d. at its last meeting discussed
the subject of visiting the city of Mobile, Ala,
where grand encampment of soldiers Will be
held in the early part of May. The citizens
of the city offer $4,000 in prizes for drill and
it is supposed that the crack military organi-
cations of the United States will compete for
the prizes. Our company does not intend to
enter as competitor. The visit Is designed
purely as one of pleasure and the witnessing
and observing OF new military tactics. The
fare for the round trip is but $40, and as Mo-

Large Egg Plants.

Mr., c. SCHNEIDER, the popular propri
etor of the Cosmopolitan Restaurant,
brought 10 our Office this week pair
of egg plants raised in his garden, the
largest of which measured % and
the smaller one % inches in circum-
ference. This takes the palm, friend
Jessen, and you will have to come
again.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER, who is a German,
and Germans generally know whereof
they speak when talking of anything
connected with market gardening and
fruit growing, says that any and all
kinds of vegetables can be grown
here to perfection if a little care and
judgment is used in the selection of
seeds and cultivation. He is per-
feetly satisfied that strawberry grow
ing conld be made very profitable and
would give orr little boys and girls a
chance TO earn something in the way
of gathering the berries for market
Mr. SCHNEIDER also informs us that
he has made, for several years past,
from five to twenty gallons of.
wine each year, from grapes gown
in his uaFdan, and SAVE that
the wine is superior to the best Cali
fornia wine. We expect to sec these
industries engaged in at no distant
day in Calcasieu, and pushed TO sue
cess. There is money in the grape as
well as the strawberry. Having a
railroad gives us a market for every
thing we can raise. Tobe prosperous
and happy we mast look well tothe
cultivation Of the soil.

Fell from Grace

Jonas Hill, colored man hereto
fore considered honest, arrested was
and lodged in Jail last Tuesday
on complaint of Mr.. Pau Sulli-
van, charged with having stolen some
paint and brushes from within the
Baptist Church, belonging to him.
Mr.. Sullivan has been engaged for
some time in painting this Church,
and was in the habit of leaving his
paint over night in the building, and
was surprised one day last week on
returning to his work to find that
some yillainOus scamp had invaded
the sanctity of the church and carried
away a lot of paints and a very fine
brush. He snspicioned, for some
cause or another, and kept a sharp
watch over Jonas Hill, and last Tues
day succeeded in placing the theft be
yOhu uOnDt on MN, having IOnhu the
brush and some of the material in
Jonas possession.
The arrest of Jonas Hill created
some excitement in colored church
circles, as he has heretofore been con
sidered one of the leading lights in
their church, sometimes officiating as
minister. However, Jonas let his foot
slip, Notwithstanding the confidence
heretofore reposed in hun by both
white and black, and now langnishes

of stealing, with the additional charge
of having resisted an officer

The past month has brought about
quite a changein our saw mill ibusi-
ness. All the mills are now in opera
ton, running on ifnll iime, and gen,
eral improvement in the demand for
lumber has taken place, and The mill
men appear very much elated at the
turn affairs have taken.
In addition to the large sale
made last week by Mr.. ii. G. Drew,
the Calcasieu Lumber Company, this
week, disposed of 400 carloads of sea
soned and 100 of nnseasoned lumber,
making in the aggregate something
like 3,750,oOO feet of lumber.
We are also informed that during
the past week the HntehiBs mill sold
some $50 car loads to Western Texas
dealers, a, fair price, with the under
standing that the same parties could
have rs car loads more during the
next week.
Some trouble arose during the week
among the hands employed at Moss
mill, the laborer's demanding an in
crease OF wages, and, IS the manager
of the mill did not accede to their de
mand, they struck. This, of course,
stopped the mill, proper, bnt the
planer was kept going, However,
nothing dannted at the action Of the
Iaborers, Mr.. Albert Bell, the clover
of the Moss mill, proceeded
to Beaumont in search of hands, and
he informed US last Friday that he had
no trouble in securing all the help he
needed. He returned from Beaumont
asst Thursday night, bringing ten men,
which, together with those of the old
crew that will return to work, will en-
Ible him to start the mil again next
Monday, and from thence on will con
inue on fnll time. 4
