The immigration into Louisiana, from
the great wheat growing sections Of the
northwest, shows no signs of abatement.
The fever spreads. The thousands Of
northern farmers already settled in the
south are sending home glowing ac-
counts of the climate, soil, fruit pros
poets ETC., and thousands more emigrants
are likely to follow soon.

GEO. S. HUBBARD, an old landmark OF
the early Chicago, a piOreer in Its bust
ness and director OF it's early com
merce, is passing away at the ripe age OF
eighty-ilve years. He was the first
white trader who ever furnished the In
dians with supplies at that point; the
first man who ever packed pork In that
now immense hog market; the man who
built the Chicago warehouses; the man
who raised Commodore Perry's old
flag ship; who also raised three found
cred vessels of the ola Eagle line, that
pioneered western lake commerce. over
half century ago he was agent OF the
American fur company, and In that SER
vice made twenty-six trips In an open
beat bet tween Fort Dearborn and Mack
mac. His experiences have embraced
wide range. and 1t has fallen to the lot
Of few men to see such city as the Chi
cago OF to-day standing on the camping
ground of the Indians TO whom he sold
gods less than half century since.
Chicago is OF a truth the commercial
wonder Of the world, and Father Hub
bard may tittingly exclain, 'let thy ser
want now depart in peace"
The advice given to the Knights OF
Labor by the press Of the country has
been OF sufficient gravity to sink ship.
Some of II is good, some bad, some i'm
pertinent, some satanic, and very little
of it will he needed. The goodwill to
them ward the general press In the
south and west has not been no apparent
as to call for any very special tokens Of
gratitude. or to approve the sdyice Of
fered as resulting from friendly interest.

on the market for years, and grows
in favor and popularity each year,
and calls forth continually scores and
hundreds of endorsements from those

their business has been immense.
They now occupy an entire building
in one of the principal business

An Editors Opinion.

Beware of anything that the maker
is afraid to own as his own. One
reason, among the great many others
which we could give why the justly
famed Swift's Specific has attained
such large sale, is the fact that Mr..
Swift, the original inventor, gave his
name to it. This wonderful medicine
continues to grow in popularity, not
withstanding the papers are full OF
the advertisements of imitators and
followers. Indeed it has come 10 pass
that this medicine is doing good in
curing those who lave seriously af-
fected from taking other mixtures
put up by nobody knows who.-

Buffalo Gnats.



The buffalo gnats, which Prof.
Lungger, of the Smithsonian 1nsti-
tute, spent several months in study
ing the past winter, and which he
believed would be scarce, have pre-
vailed near Memphis for more than
ten days in swarms such as was new
er before experienced. A number of
stock have been killed by these pests,
and they even drive people half dis
tracted at intervals. Extreme hot
weather can alone annihilate the in
sects, and for some time past the
weather has been exactly suited for
their generation and thrift. The
curious spectacle of burning coal-oil
smotl cred in cotton and waste, caI-
ried in small iron buckets, and hung
TO the necks of pillow mules is seen in
the fields of that vicinity, and smoke
piles are kept up at various places in
the public streets for the protection
of draft animals.
