my loot outside the walls of Placenza be-
lore found that nothing was spoken of
BY the people but the Madonna OF Corano.
II can only compare the frenzy of en-
thusiasm with which all rush TO Corano
to that OF the Crusaders when about to
behold Jerusalem for the first time. For
miles round this village the country has
the appearance of the Tuscan Maremma
at the time OF the unfortunate prophet of
Arcidosso, David Lazzaretti. Hanging
from the branches OF the trees and on the
hedges on all sides are offerings presented
by the peasants to the miraculous
shrine, Whicn at present consists of a
basket, draped with three or four cloths,
on the roadside to the right, as you pro-
coed toward Corano.
Hundreds and hundreds of persons
are seen laboring up the steep ascent,
under the burning rays of the July sun.
Some girls scramble up the bare rocks,
supplicRting the Virgin with loud cries
to appear, until they faint with fatigue.
Recovering their senses they say they
hear the voice of Madonna, while all
present fall on the ground, kissing the
earth with cOnvulsive sObs and floods of
tears. A profound impression is pro-
duced. To aggravate matters, women
known to be hysterioal sing, laugh and
cry, causing others to initiate them.
While write this thousands are throng-
ing hither from the valleys of the old
duchies, from Piedmont, from Liguria,
from Lombardy. The number is estimat-
ed at 10000. The authorities are now
interfering, and it is high time. Several
doctors who have visited the place declare
that the spread of this hallucination is
likely to assume very alarming proper

ECZEMAl

For the benefit Of suffering humanity,
deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited
testimony in favor OF Swift's Speciac. My

No avail. She was also afflicted with a peri
odical nervous headache, sometimes followed
by an intermittent fever, 90 that her life be-

TO try Swifts Specific. She commenced seven
weeks ago. After taking the first large bot
tie the disease seemed to increase; the burn
ing, itching and Inflammation became I'M
bearable. she, however, persevered in the
use OF the medicine. After taking the second
bottle the Inflammation began 10 subslde.
After the third bottle the Inflammation dis
appeared. and sore spots dried up and turned
white and scaly, and finally she brushed them
on in an impalpable white powder resembling
pure salt. She 10 now taking the sixth bottle (;

headaches have disappeared ADD che enjoys

BEER AGAINST WHISKY.
The Malt Liquor Condemned by Science
in Favor of the Alcoholic.


in Favor of the Alcoholic.
From Ae Scientific american.
For some years a decided inclination
has been apparent all over the country to
give up the use of whisky and other strong
alcohOls, using as a substitute beer aud
other compounds. This is evidently found
ed on the idea that beer is not harmful
and contains a large amount OF nutri-
ment; also, that bitters may have some
medical quality which will neutralize the
alcohol which 1t conceals, etc. These
theories are without confirmation In the
observation Of physicians.
The use Of beer is found 10 produce a
species OF degeneration al all the organs
profound aud deceptive fatty deposits,
diminished circulation, conditions OF con-
gestiOn and perversion OF functional ac-
tivlties, local lnflammations Of both the
liver aud kidneys. are constantly present.
intellectually, stupOr amounting almost
10 parRlysis arrests the reason, changing
all the higher faculties into n mere ani.
mRlism-sensual selfish, sluggish, varied
only with paroxisms OF anger that are
senseless and brutal.
In appearance the beer drinker may be
the picture OF health, but In reality ne Is
most incapable OF resisting disease. A
slight injury, a severe cold, or a shock 10
the body or mind will commonly provoke
acute disease ending fatally.
Compared with inehriatee who use du-
ferent kinds Of alcohol he Is more Incur
able aud more generally diseased. Inc
constant use Of beer every day gives the
system no recuperatou, but steadily low
eIs The vital forces. 10 IL our observation
that beer drinking In this country pro-
duees the very lowest kind OF inebriety,

most dangerous class Of ruihans IN our
large elites are beer drinKere.
Recourse 10 beer az a substitute LOT
other forms of alcohol merely increases
the danger and fatality.

A STATEN EMIT.
ATLANTA. June u. 1881.

ATLANTA, June u, 1884.
Emerging from severe and long spell Of
Typhoid fever, discovered that the fever had
settled in my right leg, which caused 1t to
swell to an enormous size, remaining so quite
three years, resisting all treatment. A small
ulcer made its appearance, which continued
to enlarge, frequently dischsrgIng perhaps as
much as a cupful OF pus or matter per day.
The size of the ulcer was about two inches in
diameter, extending to a depth near the bone.
At one time it appeared that the flesh in all
contiguous parts would surely become run
ming sore, and il was intimated that might
lose my leg. DIR. j. p. Dromgoole made a
thorough examination, and said that the flesh
on my legs for six inches around the sore
would soon slough OFF If not remedied; that

ASSASSINATION.

1t has been long time slnce an
assassination has occurred IN our ar
ish until last Tuesday evening Octo-
her 9Th when We learned that Dick
Nic...,,l; VS. wavlaid and most bru-
taIly ussas.inatoI near the Fowke

oils had been to Monroe to take Lis
brother ami WAS returning home late
in the evening in two horse wagon.
The team came home or TO Mr.. 5.
4. Nichols place and when search
was instituted Mr.. Nichols iIfeless
form was found on or near the pub
lie road. From Capt. Nlckcrs who
held the inquest we learn that on
one sile above the hip WAS n gun
shot wound. supposed to be from n
double barel shot gun rs Il was In a
circle and not lirrcr taln the palm
of ones hand, and the face had
wounds supposed To have been in
flicted with a pistol. Mr. Nichols,
it seems, had two pistols one lay il
the wagon and the other was on the
body. Whatever may have been the
difference between him ami others
nothing could Justify the coldblooded
assassination Of one in the way he
WAS killed. 1t is a matter to be re-
GREETED and we do hope that better
counsel will prevail and that this
unhappy state Of affairs in that neigh
borhool will case to exist. Let us
harbor DO spirit of revenge but
counsel peac" and harmony IN the
country. Mr.. Nichols WAS compar-
atively Young man and seemed to

PROHIBITION.

Our ncighhor of the Democrat
Tribune in its issue of 22nd Oct.
says he was rather mild on the
young men who spoke and acted in
the way they did toward the ladies
of Minden who took a part in the
prohibition election. He comes at
them again in a more aggressive
manner.
All the strong liquor papers now
claim that they are for temperance
or high license. Even our neighbor
of the Clarion advocates high license.
We have advocated high license long
before this question of prohibition
was being agitlted yet the Clarion
puts MS down as prohibi,ionist
because we are opposed to such a
general use of the article. We agree
exactly on that point. We are in
favor of such licenses that all the
low grog shops will be forced out Of
existence and better and more relia-
ble ones take their places.
Let the licenses be high and then
compel those who engage in this
business to execute a good and suffi-
cient bond for the orderly conduct
of their houses. Do away with the
public gambling &c.

Lafayette Advertiser The farm

Abbeville Meridional: Hay-mak-
ers are taking advantage of the pres
ent fine weather and are cutting and
gathering their crop. Hay sells in
this parish at $3.50 per bale of 400
pounds, delivered.

our farmers would make a specially

they could make There is more

Ruston Caligraph: Corn is dull
in this market at fifty cents per
bushel. IT cannot be sold any lower
at any proiit.--A great deal of corn
of this years crop is unsound, doubt
less caused by the wet weather in the
early fall.
Ruston Caligraph: 1t is hardly
probable that home raised pork will
be very plentiful in this parish this
wear, or sell at low prices. Cholera
last spring and summer killed out
most of the hogs, and the fine mast
of this season will be in a great
measure wasted.
