Rat RiddaMce.


Cor. Chambers journal
Allow me to suggest simple means
of getting rid of those pests. In the
year 1855 ] was in command of the
British vessel Tubal Cain, lying along
side the wharf at Melbourne, embark
ing Chinese passengers for Hong
Kong. The wharfs were so infested
with rats that it was impossible to
prevent their getting on board, and
my vessel was well stocked with them.
After being at sea few days, ! mus
tered the passengers-witb their cf-
fects--on deck, to give them an air.
ing, and for the purpose of giving the
passenger deck p good cleansing, and
sprinkling some chloride Of lime mix
ed with water. also bad couple of
buckets of the same mixture poured
down the pumps. This continued
weekly; when, to my surprise, the
rats made raid on the cabin (poop)
on deck, and became so troublesome
that neither myself nor my officers
cared about turning in at night. A
happy thought struck me-that the
chloride of lime had driven them from
below deck; so | had everything
cleared out of the cabin and the
storerooms, and freely used the mix
ture. This had the desired effect, the
rats taking shelter in every available
place outside. This gave us some
good sport, especially on a moonlight
night, when all hands engaged in
bunting rats and driving them oyer
board, so that by the time we arrived
at Hong Kong not one was left on
board. On my return to England ]
took house and furnished it. After
being in il short time, found that it
was infested with rats. They would
get through every part on the ground
floor. On examination, ! discovered
that drain ran under the house,
empLying into the harbor. ! here
again used the chloride of lime freely;
and in less than week every rat bad
taken its departure. ! have recon
mendcd this remedy to many ship
masters and friends on shore, and in
al cases II has proved success !
have occupied my present residence
for FIVE years, and VIC have neither
rat nor mouse on the premises. | at
tribute this to the free use Of the
above mixture, which is also effective
as deodorizer aud disinfeetant.

MEADOW, La, April 10, 1885.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:

mEADOWf l-dsf Aptli tVf 1000
Editor Lake Charles Echo;
see every portion Of our great and
growing parish represented in the
Echo except this, and knowing the
great circulation of your valuable pa
per, also, the growing interest of our
parish, if you will allow me space ]
will endeavor to tell your readers some
thing of this, the Northwest portion
Of Calcasieu.
As to timber, the yellow pine Of
Calcasieu rightly boasts an inexhanst-
ible quantity also, nearly all the diff
ferent hardwoods, such as ash, oak,
gum, ETC., in great quantities the
hard timber growing in the Sabine
river and its adjecent creek bottoms,
the same furnishing as fine hog range
as any in the State, there being
enough mast in the river bottom at
this time to last the hogs till midsum-
mer. Perhaps the lands are not 30
fertile rs some of our neighbor par
ishes, but man can make all that he
can gather. The pine lands will yield
from ten to fifteen bushels of corn per
acre, and about 400 to 500 pounds
seed cotton, and is especially adapted
to sweet potatoes. The hammock
lands will yield from Is to 25 bushels
of corn per acre, and from one-half to
three-fourths of bale of cotton.
The surrounding country is well d.
versified with clear running creeks
and branches, which furnish an abund-
ant supply of cool spring water and
fish without number for the angler.
The man that is fond Of hunting win
also find deer and turkey in abundance,
also few bear.
The range for horses and cattle is
second to none in the State the pine
woods furnishing an abundant supply
of grass for spring and summer graz
ing, and they have the benefit Of the
river bottom cane for winter.
As to health 1t will compare with
any section of Louisiana.
As | have set forth the advantages,
| will now give some of the disadvan-
tages. The greatest of those is the
great distance to market 1t is true
steamboats, ply the Sabine, which
affords transportation only through
the wet season, as the river is nayiga-
bic only at that time. Society is also
at a low ebb.
All we need to overcome these and
similar disadvantages, is the right kind
of immigration, and for such there is
plenty of room, and they willrecoive
hearty welcome. More anon.

SATURDAY,


These are said TO be the three sweet.
est words in the English language,
and the assertion is true. Around
each scyerally clings a thousand holy
associations. They have ever fur
nished themes for the poet and artist,
and their praises have been sung in
the cloquence of genuine inspiration.
No relationship on earth is compara-
bic to that of mother. How exalted
the position, how fearful the responsi-
bilityl A mother exerts the most
potent of all influences. If oxerted
for good, it leads to heaven If for evil,
to the lowest depths of perdition:
Ca!ous indeed is the heart that cannot
be moved by the prayers and tears of
loving motherl Her love, how wide
and enduring it is It follows her
offspring through all the yicissitudes
of life, imprints kisses upon the pallid
lips of death, and follows the depart
ing spirit through the cerulean arches
into the very gates of heaven. No
crime of the erring one can crush it,
nor time nor space efface il. Even
after her heart has ceased to beat, and
the cold, dead clay is bid away from
sight, the memory of her life and love
lives on in tho hearts of her children,
often restraining them from evil and
calling back the wanderer, even after
he has sank below the level of the
brute in the ways of sin. How great
and high and sacred is the office of
mother!
Home In all true hearts the love
of home is all-pervading. However
humble, there is no place like home.
While the foot of the wanderer may
stray far from the patcrnal roof, the
heart yearns for the dear old home.
stead, and the loved ones left behind.
This homo may be upon tho sleeps of
the rugged mountain, beyond the
flights of the eagle, or hidden away in
the seclusion of the forest, in the frozen
or torrid zone, yet there is an attrac-
tion about it that no other spot of
earth can weaken or abato. This love
of home is not a mere theoretical
fancy, but a sentiment craven deep
upon the tablets Of the heart. One
may wander in foreign climes, bask in
the sunlight of fortune, form new and
endearing friendships, but in day
dreams and in night dreams the mind
and heart go back to the spot where
the eye first saw the light and the
childish feet first pressed the sod.
From this devotion to home springs
the love of country, and this kindlos
the fire of patriotism in manly breasts.
About the last wish in death is to rest
our wearied, toil-worn bodies meath
the oak where repose the dust of the
loved and lost of long ago
Heaven ! All, what is heaven
When tired, VIC contemplate it as q

REFORM.
The Object of Civil-SerVice Hse-
form and What Ii Really
Means

N. Y. World.
The World has suggested that the
new Secretaries ought to set to work
promptly to remove the "barnacles" $"
which in the long Republican term of
office have fastened themselves on the
National Treasury. Many Senator,
Congressman, influential politician or
shoddy aristocrat who has been trou-
blcd with a worthless relative has man
aged to get the black sheep gathered
into the official fold. Dissipated crea-
lures who have disgusted even New
York society and been turned out of
clubs and had private doors shut in
their faces have been made pensioners
on the Government through the Gin
fucnce" of their relatives or friends,
until the Washington Departments
are not without a number of charac-
tcrIess drones. ...... g..
We do not doubt there are many
capable, honest, faithful men in the
Washington Departments. We do
not believe il would be in conformity
with Ciyil-Service Reform principles
to turn such men out.
Surely it cannot be so difficult to
understand what real Civil-Service Re-
form means. Its object is to insure
just as thoroughly capable, efficient
and honest service in all the public
offices as is to he found in Il well-con-
Quoted private business. To accom-
plish this bad men must not be re-
taincd, no idIers and drones must be
tolerated, faithful and useful men
must be rewarded for their fidelity,
and only capable and honest men must
be appointed.
A President who is nominated and
elected by a political party also owes
something to that party, subordinate
of course to his public duty. When
a position becomes vacant by the ex-
piration of the term of the incumbent
or from other cause, he has perfect
right to fill it with member of his
own party, provided the appointee is
as well qualified and as deserving as
any opposing applicant.
In political sense this is not only
his right but his duty.
Have not Republican Presidents for
twenty-fonr years recognized and exer-
cised this right2 Have they not, in
fact, regarded their obligations to
party as superior to their duty to the
public2 "
There are certain offices closely con
cerned with the political character of
the Administration which ought to be
in harmony with TIE Presidents po-
liticaI views and principles, and these
should certainly be filled by Demo
Gratis. The Administration cannot
otherwise be efficient and successful.
But in the thousands of subordinate
offices merit should go before politics,
Just as the interests of the country
must go before the interests of any
party.
Turn out raseaIs; get rid of barna-
cles; no new appointees who are not |
thoroughly capable and honest. But
all other things being equal, a Demo
cratic President will naturally prefer a
Democrat to Republican.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense Of
weight in the back, foins 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 perspira-
tion, 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-

Louisville Letter to Globe-Democrat.
The Kentucky women are as cnthu-
siastic about horses as the men. They
unhesitatingly place the horses before
themselves rs the great attractions Of
the State. | remember hearing con-
yersation between General Grant and
a kentucky girl at the ST. Louis Mer-
chants exchange, in 1875, when Pres
ident Grant was visiting the st. Louis
fair. A number of ladies were intro
duced to the President, wherenpon he
spoke in very high terms of st. Lonis,
the fair, etc "You are mistaken, Mr..
President, we are not from st, Louis"
Iaughingly said one Of the girls, 1--WE
are from Kentucky, o very fine State,
you know, which possesses three
things all men of taste must appre-
eiate." Smilingly, the President asked
her what they were, She answered:
awe have the fastest horses, tho pret-
ticst women and the finest whisky in
the world" The President replied:
"Your horses are certainly justly re-
nowned; | have soinc on my farm near
here; yourself and party prove the cor
rectness Of your second observation,
but whisky is ono Of the things that
require age, and your men consume it
so fast that it rarely has fair chance
to become good,p The girls thought
that if General Grant could not make
