An effort is being made by the
Medical Congress now in session at
Washington to revive the defrnct
National Board of Health, which
petered out through its mischiev-
GUS tendency and utter uselessness.
It is reported that in the re-organ-
ization of the Board the objection
able features of the old institution
will be eliminated, when Congress
shall be called upon to formulate a
law upon the report of the COM
mittee of the Medical Congress.
The Secretary of the State Board
of Health, DR.. Herrick, is in at
tendance upon this session of the
Medical Congress, and his expert
ence with the National Board OF
Health when it was in existence
and played 80 active part in this
city by its interference with Oul
local health authorities, will eer-
tainly not induce him to look ia.
vorably upon any proposition te
reinstate the National Board.

The rapidity with which the Improved
stock business has grown ut the South is
a great surprise to many. The Gun
States have been described time and
again as the ssCotton country" 1t was
thought eyen by many of our best farm
ers that the men who brought the first
blooded animals into this section, were
..cranks" of the highest order. But re-
suits have shown the scranks" were the
wise men and they Eho laughed SO loud
ly. now have to follow In the procession
statistics show that in 1880 3229 so, ,92I
was invested in live stock in the Galf
States. In the two years following 1880,
this value has increased 13 per cent. To-
day we could probably show 3275,OOO,-
GOO invested In live stock. The improve
ment is constantly going on, and each
year will add to the number Of aceiima-
ted herds. Many Northern breeders have
overlooked the Southern market, but 1t Is
probable that in the near future they will
find ready sale for their best animals
here. The losses from acclimating fever
have deferred many Of our stockmen
from going into the business as they would
! like TO do, but in every case where men
have perseyered, the result has becn ia
yorable. We seed mort good ste I mere

And when he advertised agair
his rivsls loudly swore, to SEE

A Great GRANDMOTHER, Age IS.

A dispatch from Union, w. Va, Dec.
8, says: A New York man, Edward r.
Whaites, is the hero of remarkable rO-
nance which has just come to light by q
news note in New York paper. About
1925 Whaites, who was then yoans
man, auarrelled with his sweetheart and
found his way to this county, which was
then wilderness. He took up large
tract of land. Four or five years later he
married a girl of Monroe county and
shortly afterward moved to Mississippi
There his wife died. He left his danGh-
ter in the family Of friend and returned
to New York, where he married a widow
with several children. Father and daugh-
ter lost trace of each other. The daugh-
ter grew up, was married, and finally with
two boys came back to this county,
where she settled on the land abandoned
by her father. The boys grew up re-
spected men and with their aged mother
still live here. Whaites and his second
wife lived together thirty years, when the
WlIe OleQ duu " uslttcS Spcut many ycoAD
travelling in the South and then settled
down in Galveston, Texas, as wholesale
grocer, where he remained until 1870.
when he again went to New York where
he met and married his first love, Miss
Ann Treadwell, who had never married.
Two years ago she died and in January,
1854, Whaites was married to o girl OF
| nineteen. The New York newspapers
contained accounts of the marriage. One
of these accounts was republished in the
Monroe County Watchman, and was read
| by j. E. Keadle to his mother. She rec
ognized in the man her long lost father.
Correspondence followed and Wh2ates
and his young wife are here. Father
and daughter are united after separa-
ton of forty years. A woman OF sixty
has for her mother woman of twenty,
and men forty years old have daughters

A Signalling Apparatus for Railroads.

Among the wonderful things exhibited
at the Worlds Exposition will be an
..electro mechanical signalling appara-
tus," which gives promise Of making
railway travel in future triflle safer than
staying ut home. This wonderful con-
irivance not only gives warning OF such
ordinary dangers as the approach OF
'swildn trains, obstacles upon the traek,
or broken bridges or trestles, but If the
draw of a bridge is ever SO little out Of
place it rings bell in the engine cab,
and another ut the house or post CT the
bridge keeper. If a trestIe or culvert Is
out Of line in any direction so as to ere
ate danger, or if a tunnel wall says in
threatening way, a faithful little hand
points out the danger upon dial, and
the bell in the cab rings sharply, waking
the engineer if asleep, and calling his at
tention to the signal. Many inventions
looking in this direction have been pat
ented and are in use, but nothing has ever
yet been devised so perfect as this, which
indeed seems to have nothing to be desi-
red. 1t is, or will be when perfected ac-
cording to the inventor plan, mechan-
| ical realization of the s'little cherub that
sits up aIoft to take care of poor Jack, :"
tanned and transferred to the service of
Jacks brothers who travel by land. The
inventor of this unique and comprehen-
sive signal is Mr.. Toulmin, formerly Of
Alabama. His patent bears date Sept. 2,
1854. The management Of the Worlds
Exposition, we understand, will afford
Mr.. Toulmin every facility for giving q
practical illustration of his wonderful in
| ventions.-T-D.

OUR PRINCIPAL RESOURCES.

If our people could be brought
to a proper appreciation of the ex-
ceptional resources that Louisiana
affords, and to symtematic and in
telligent efforts to develop them, it
would be but q few years ere this
State would become, proportion
ately, the richest inthe Union. Ac-
customed to look upon cotton, su-
gar and rice, as the readiest wealth
producing articles, the great mass
of our agriculturists have lost sight
of the most reliable sources OF
wealth. Stock raising, for instance
which has made Holland the rich
est country in Europe, is a worse
than neglected industry. Yet, our
State, with its mild climate, its
natural pasturages,swhich, with the
introduction of other grasses, could
be rendered equal to the best in the
Union, offers every inducement to
engage in stock raising on an ex-
tensive scale. The State is grid
ironed with water courses, and
with some attention, during dry
spells, stock need never suffer for
the want of water, as they do in
Texas and other States. AS stock
raising country, Louisiana ought
to be the Holland of America.
Our forests and swamps afford
an inexhaustible supply of excel
lent woods, suitable for the manu-
facture of furniture, ship building
etc. Consequently, our towns
should be filed with artisans en-
gagged in these industries, than
which none are more remunera-
tive.
In fully one-half of the State,
the orange grows luxuriantly, and
it could be made to yield immense
profits.
Throughout Louisiana the pecar
tree grows splendidly, and once
planted, there is nothing to do {
few years after, than to gather th'
nut, which obtains ready sale ev
erywhere, at very remunerativ'
prices.
The fig tree grows over three
fourths of our territory, and th'
fruit, if extensively grown, coult
nourish a vast industry, as it doe
| in other countries.
Vegetables of all kinds, of larg
size and fine quality, grow every
: where, weeks earlier than in tn
Northern and Western States, il
whose markets, by means of ou
railway facilities, the early vegeta
bles would lind quick sale at goo
profits, every season.
Our gulf coast is lined with inex
haustible banks of the finest an
; largest oysters in the world. Henc
canning industries would pay spler
! didly.
These are but a few of the man
resources of Louisiana, that hav
> been neglected because sugar cane
cotton and rice grow SO much be-
ter here than in any other State.
It is not to be doubted that tn
e moment our people can be indl
0 ced to turn their attention to tt
pursuit of these industries, Lou
e siana will become the garden sp'

THE NICARAGUAN TREATY.

Our statesmen will be blind to
the signs of the times, if they fail
to perceive that our country has
attained degree of industrial de-
velopment that necessitates for
ward movement towards the ac-
complishment of its manifest des-
tiny.
The United States have the NOR
al right to take the necessary steps
to successfully compete with the
nations of the old world for the
commerce of Central and South
America, the Islands of the Pacif-
ic and Indian Oceans, China and
Japan. Moreover, the United
States have the power to uphold
that right, and no menace from
across the waters should deter our
government from pursuing the
policy suggested by statemanship,
and by the needs of our Industrial
interests.
We are to-day a united people,
numbering over fifty millions of
souls, and our railroad system
gives US facilities to concentrate In
a few days any portion of our tre-
mendous power and resources up
on any given point of our territory.
We should let the world know that
whenever it becomes necessary to
assert our power and to sustain our
national dignity, the States will vie
with each other in sending to the
field battalions whose valOr cannot
be excelled by the best trained
soIdiery of the age.
The roaring of the British Lion
did not prevent France from ac-
quiriDg Tunis, and from engaging
in a war to extend its commerce in
the China Seas. The power of the
United States is in no way second
to that of the proudest nation In
the world, and our government
should, without bravado, inform
Great Britain that it means to
have an inter-oceanic passage
. across the American isthmus fol
all its legitimate purposes, and te
afford facilities for the extension
of the commercial enterprises OF
the American people.
We believe that the Nicaragual
treaty will be advantageous to th'
entire country; but more especial
" to the South, whose sea port
will become the great entrcpots O
commerce between the Unitc'
States, Central and South Americ
and the Pacific Ocean. Hundred
, Of millions have been fritted ava
to little or no purpose in the past
and our government would be pen
, ny-wise were it to delay the geneI

ests by refusing to ratify this trea
ty, and to provide the ways an
p means to reap the manifold bene
. fits that will accrue to our country

Carlyle's Laugh,

None Of the many sketches Of Carlyle
that have been published since his death
have brought out quite distinctly enough
the thing which struck me more forcibly
than all else, when in the actual presence
of the man namely, the peculiar quality
and expression Of his laugh. 1t need
hardly be said chat there Is great deal
in q laugh. One OF the most telling
pieces Of oratory that ever reached my
ears was Victor Hugos vindication, at
the Volt1ire Centenary in Paris, of the
smile Of Voltaire. Certainly Carlyle's
laugh was not like that smile, but it was
something az inseparable from his
personality, and as essential to the ac-
count, when making up ones estimate
of him. 1t wns as Individually charac-
terislic as his face OF his dress, his way of
talking or Of writing. Itseemed, indeed,
Indispensable for the explanation Of all
of these. found in looking back upon
my first interview with him that el that
| had known of Carlyle through others,
or through his own books, for twenty.
five years, had been utterly defective
had left out, in fact, the key to his whole
natro-inOsmuoh as nobody had ever
described to me his laugh.
II was not the bitter laugh of the
cynic, nor yet the big bodied laugh of
the bury joker; least Of all was it the
thin and rasping cackle of the dyspeptic
sstirist. But it was q broad, honest,
human laugh, beginning in the brain,
took into its action tho whole heart and
diaphragm, and instantly changed the
worn face into something frank and even
winning, giving to it an expression that
would have won the confidence of any
child. Nor did it convey the impression
of an exceptional thing that occurred for
the first time that day, and might never
happen again. 1t rather produced the
effect OF something habitunl of being
tho channel, well worn for years, by
which the overflow of q strong nature
was discharged. 1t cleared the air like
thunder, and left the atmosphere sweet.
1t seemed to say to himself, if not to us,
"Do not let us take this too seriously |;
it is my way of putting things. What
refuge is there for q man who looks be-
low the surface in world like this,
except to laugh now and then?" The
laugh, in short, revealed the humorist !;
il said the genial hnmorist, wearing q
mask Of grimness, | should hardly go too
far the impression it left At any rate it
shifted the ground, and transferred the
whole matter to that realm of thought
where men play with things. The in
slant Carlyle laughed, he seemed to take
the counsel OF his old friend Emerson,
aud to write upon the lintels of his door
way, "Whim. ~. W. HigginSon In
