A SPLENDID WOMAN.

No Greek, no French, and but one verb of
Lat n;
OF higher mathematics none to boast;
With far more love for simple lawn than
satin,
% For unadorned she seems 20 shine the
most.
A novice in high art. its lore disdaining,
And never guilty of Sapphc verse;
OF Terpsichore slight knowledge still retain
ing,
Modest and brave where moral strength is
y needed;
Easy and graceful gentle and refined:
In culinary art high rank conceded,
In hospitality 10 trouble blind
Transformations in her mild demeanor,
Courteous and animated full of life;
Perchance you may or may not yet have
Perhaps you envy him who calls her wife.
The goddess Fashion she may reverence
Yet, like her sex, have due regard for
dress
A thing no woman can pass over lightly
Without vexation and some mild d stress,
And yet no slave to habits so alarming.
Cont with what Dame Fortune may be-
stow:
Her smile is bright, her conversation charm
spr'ghtly, but artless, are the words that
flow.
Her "set' is not so utterly exclusive
That worth, though humble, may not min
gle there
Nor lowly sorrow deemed by her intrusive
Nor suffering want denied its pleading
If Fate is kind, with grateful smile she
greets him,
And shares her pleasure and her fortune
too;
If Fate is cruel, still half way she meets him
Nor points with envy at the favored few.
Her path. when smooth and strewn with fra
grant beauty,
Draws out her love for it and Natures God;
When furrowed W tn the rugged lines of duty
he bends but never faints beneath the rod.
To ceramics no idle hours are given,
Nor days allotted to enn1ti and sloth;
Filtration and frvolity have striven
With her in vain, for she has conquered
both.
The fair and idle dreamers daily pass us
With languid air, recherche as to dress,
They drink IN tales. or niger near Parnassus
With finest frenzy and a keen distress;
Our heroine finds ample scope for science
In bridging DER II e's griefs as they occur,
Domestic arts with each approved appliance
Are more than dreams, and never Greek to
her.
One verb of Latin, and the tense is present
A typos knowledge, but womans bliss
Amo and amor, sweet, euphonious, pleasant,
Attain their acme with the added kiss.
In every tongue this mood is only human,
Which indicates the highest joy we reach :;
woman
Who has not learned what Heaven and Ma
ture teach?

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA.
The General Character and Diagnosis OF
the Terrible Lung Plague.

The General Character and Diagnosis of
the Terrible Lung Plague.
One of the unfortunate facts in rela-
ton to the contagious form of pleuro-
pneumonia is that no absolutely GER
tain diagnosis of the contagious form
can be made even by the most expert
veterinarians, until after post-mortem
of one or more animals determine the
real existence of the plague. This once
established, then the veterinarians can
safely diagnose other infected animals
of a herd Otherwise it is often diff
cult to discriminate between this dis
ease and the non-contagious form of
pleuro-pneumonia. For the benefit of
persons conversant with diseases more
or less prevalent on the farm, we append
the symptoms of the infectious form of
the disease. As to the post-mortem signs
in the dead animal: When the chest
or thorax is exposed, there may be an
extensive flow of fluid from the cavity,
sometimes several gallons. There will
also be found floating therein large
flakes, of yellow, trembling,
fragile substance (coagulable lymph),
the result of active inflamma-
ton. There will be adhesions
on the surface of the lungs to the in
ner sides of the ribs, constituting So
called ''false membranes" or "adven-
titious tissue" of Inflammation. Some
times the lungs are united to the heart
bag (pericardium) and the midriff
(diaphram), very much diminishing
ba ootiAn in 1ifo Tho In, oro
when detached are enormously heavy.
When healthy they should weigh from
five to eight pounds. In this disease
they have been known to weigh up to
eighty pounds. The healthy lung will
float in water and present clear,
bright, salmon color, the substance
smooth, elastic and yielding. The
diseased lung will show dirty or gray
color, with a tint of blush red or
purple, the surface rough and thick
ened, the substance hard and eventu-
ally solid. The lobules will be dark red
while the investing tissues will be
grayish. In cutting, the whole lung
will cut solid like cheese. There will
be fibrinous deposits on the plural
membrane and the peculiar marbled
appearance Vi inc lungs Will NC easily
distinguished. Toward the end of the
disease, if slow, there may be great de.
bility and emaciation; hectic fever &C.
curing. death ensues.-F'arnl, Field
and Stockmdn.
The bear of the Adriondacks, &C.
cording to a writer in the Brooklyn
Eagle, is shy, timid, sensitive brute.
He prowls around in the raspberry anC
blackberry bushes, chewing berrie
with pair of jaws that could chew up
the leg of strong man. Should the
bear see you gathering berries in the
same patch before you see him he will
run-run like Turk. 1t is of no use
for you to run after him; you can't
catch him. But if you see the bear
I first and do the running yourself, he
will keep on eating berries.

The Courier in correcting the impress
sion as to the proposed legislative &C
ton relative to the election of Police Jul
rors, measure having reference to ST.
Landry exclusively, adds the following
comment:
While on this subject, we may as we'll
give our opinion on this proposed legls-
lation, and that is that it is implartlca-
BILE, being in contravention OF our or
ganic law. Art. A. of the Constitution
of 1879 says that "the general assembly
shall not indirectly enact special or To-
cal laws by the partial repeal OF gener-
al law :" and this, we submit, is precise
ly what Gen. Lewis proposes to attempt.
Had such legislation been practicable.
we think it would have been attempted
long ago.
Our neighbor is entirely wrong III Its
opinion. There is no general law au-
thorizing the appointment of Police Jn-
rors. The act is special and limited tc
the year 1888, at which time it expires
The proposed bill will authorize and or
der an election for police Jurors IN St
Landry, at the expiration of the law and
the term of the present Police Jury
Viii not our eighbor join us in advo-
eating such a measure?
