A great many people are afflicted with Ca
tarrh who do not know what ails them; and n
great many more continue sufferers who
might be cured.
Thickeningo of the membrane which lines the
nasal passages, thus making breathing diff
cult; q discharge from the nostrils, more or
less copious, watery or thick, according to the
stage of the disease; a sense of fullness in the
head; constant inclination to spit; and in
advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dis
gushing matter into the throat, are a few Of the
prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness, infamed eyes ,neuralgic pains, sore
throat and loss Of sense of smell, are very
often caused by Catarrh.
All these troubles are cured by Plso's Rene
dy for Catarrh. Relief is had Immediately
after beginning its use, but tits important that
it be continued without intermission until the
catarrhal virus is expelled from the system
and healthy secretions replace the diseased
action Of the mucous membrane. Manifestly
it is unreasonable to expect a cure in a short
time of a disease that has been progressing for
months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. 1t is
so concentrated that very small dose Is
directed. The quantity in one package is suf-
ficient for long treatment, consequently the
expense is mere trifle, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reaS m for it but forgetfuncss.
A cold in the head is relieved by an appica-
cation of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. The
comfort to be got from it in this way is worth
many times the cost.

received every day, teStifying to the worth OF

reinforcement Of the repertoire OF
Presidential jokes.
At the May Ball given at the Assem-.
bly, rooms in 1912, the honors of the
crown fell upon Miss Louisa Adams,
the granddaughte of ex-!resldent
John Quincy Adams, who was present
with President Tyler, the diplomatic
corps and many members OF Congress.
The marchings and counter marchpgs
we're gone through with with all the
forms of coronation the young queen
was crowned with all becoming grace
pnd dignity. Surrounded by her loyal
subjects she assembled the throne, was
seated in state, and received the honors
due her rank. The dancing proceeded
through the evening, the young begin
ming the dance and yielding to their
elders in years until the end of the
ceremony. The little world who con-
gregated in this marvellous city when
Congress was in session seemed to be
present almost en- masse. The seven
ages, from "the infant in its nurse s
arms" to second childishness and mere
oblivion" were all represented. The
lover, signing like furnace; the
soldier, bearded like the pard; the
justice, with fair round belly with good
capon lined; the lean and slippered
pantaloon, with spectacles on nose and
pouch on side, to the last age that ends
this strange, eventful history; from the
| dawn of creation to the last ray OF
light, when decaying nature glides un-
| grooming to the tomb, all these were
represented, and blended in beautiful
harmony. 1t was a beautiful picture
to look upon, scene where at glance
the past, the present, and the future

Protection VS.. Free-Trade.
Lake Charles Commercial.

"Where there is one out-and- out free
trader in the South there are one hun
dred men who desire to see the young
and growing industries of the South
fostered, and who are anxious to see
new enterprises organized and built
up," says an advocate of the doctrine of
protection.
We reply that every free-trader de-
sires to see the young and growing III
dustries of the South fOstered and is
anxious to see new enterprises organ
lied and built up; and he proposes to
accomplish these desirable results by
abolishlng the ubiquitous system of
protection to the few and oppression to
the many, and by free-trade to give
every man, however so poor, an equal
chance in life.
Under protection, so-called, our mer-
chant marine has disappeared from the
ocean; our industries are languishiDg /;
labor is badly remunerated; our COM
merce is perishing, and our people are
being impoverished we propose TO
remedy these evils of the protective
system, by fair system of tariff for
revenue only, which shall protect the
farmer and consumer, equally with the
manufacturer and producer; which
shall resuSciIate our merchant marine,
invigorate our industries, remunerate
labor, revive our commerce and give
cheap food and clothing to the poorer
working classes.

been collected of which much the
larger part is for license taxes of this
year. Besides, there have been no de-
linquent sales as yet for 1885.
AS to the defective assessment rolls
of 1884 and 1885 | know of no way the
collector can be entitled to any credit
for such defects except upon his own
showing. Credits for erroneous or
double assessments are given when
shown to exist by him in his deduction
lists for those years, and | do not see
how you can form even an estimate OF
this amount in the absence OF this
showing. Admitting their defective
character therefore, am unable to un-
derstand wherein it explains or ac
counts for deficit of over $4,000 for
1884 and over $4,000 for 1885. That
some credits are due for this is trne,
but it is neither probable nor credible
that they are sufficient to cover these
balances.
But you contrast Mr.. Duson in this
respect with his predecessors. The
contrast is striking. Their credits for
delinquent lists run from S41S3 90 to
$750S 90 for each year whether on de-
creaslng or increasing scale you do not
say. Duson's luns from S1115 in 1880
up by a gradual increase to S354O in
1888.
Are the assessments growing worse
or is Mr.. Duson less efficient? You
will observe that Mr.. Duson's highest
amount is $3.50 Now give a margin
of $500 for increase, and yet it falls
short by over $4,000 Of settling the de-
felt for 1884 and allowing $1,000 for in
crease in 1885 and that TOO falls short
over $500 of the deficit for that year
You surely do not expect these de-
duction lists to jump from $3.50 in
1888 up to $S,363,4S in 1884 and up to
1894 50 in 1885? II so, there must be
something sadly in need OF correction
and it not, then there must remain a
large amount of taxes to be accounted
for in cash.
Have you any evidence of how much
has been collected? 1t should be in
your office, if the parish treasurer, DR..
VIM. A. Robertson, has done his duty,
for the law requires him to make quar-
terly returns to the Auditor of all cash
By a comparison of these returns with
the amounts paid in by the collector,
you can readily tell how his cash &C
count stands. But you make no allu-
sion to these important features of the
matter, nor do you Inform the public
when or whether you intend to take
steps to secure settlement of the ac-
count of 1884, not to speak of the ac-
count of 1885.
. have only to add that neither your
letter nor your verbal communication
to me explains the apparent shortage in
the collectors accounts and that an ex-
planation, if one be needed, would have
more appropriately come from him.

The true version of the recent war
on Rayou Boutte seems to be substan
TALLY as follows: Lorenzo Randall,
one of the victims, was regarded with
terror in that section. He openly COM
mitted depredations on the stock and
other property of an aged neighbor and
had once or twice shot at Miles or
Mieuls for attempting to Illustrate his
designs. The latter lately became pos
SCISSOR of the stock aud property and
Randall still persisted to commit his
usual raids, when the elimination came
in the shape of general fight between
the belligerant parties and their friends,
in which several were killed and woun-
ded. In regard to resisting the sheriff's
posse, Miles statement we believe is to
the effect that it was done in order to
save himself and party. He has sur
rendered to the authorities of St. Mar

Religion Of a Gentleman.

One of the most notable after-d dinner
speeches of James Russell Lowell in
England has just been published 1t
was called out by some alluslon to the
Christian religion, made in a tone OF
general skeptlclSm not uncommon
among literary men both in this coun-
try and in England He said:
| feanth when we indui &c ourselves
in the amusement OF going without a
religion, we are not, perhaps, aware
how much we are sustained at present
by an enormous mass all about us OF
religious feeling and religious convic-
tons, so that, whatever it may be safe
for us to think, for US who have had
great advantages, and have been
brought up in such a way that certain
moral direction has been given to our
character, do not know what would
become of the less favored classes of
mankind if they undertook to play the
same game.
Whatever defect and imperfections
may attach to few points of the doe
trinal system of Calvin-the bulk of
which Is simply what all Christians be-
lieve-it will be found that Calvinism,
or any other ism which claims an open
Bible-and proclaims crucitied Christ,
is infinitely preferable to any form OF
polite and polished skepticism, which
gathers as its votaries the degenerate
sons of heroic ancestors, who having
been trained in society and educated
in schools the foundation of which
were laid by men of faith and plety,
now turn and kick down the ladder by
which they have climbed up, and per-
suade them to live without God and
tn Il
The worst kind of religion is 10 reli-
gion at all, and these men, who are liv-
ing in ease and luxury, indulging them
selves in the amusement of going
without religion may be thankful that
they live in lands where the gospel they
neglect has tanned the beastliness and
ferocity of the men who. but for Chris
tianity, might long ago have eaten their
carcasses, like the South Sea islanders,
or cut off their heads and tanned their
hides, like the monsters OF the French
Revolution.
When the microscopic search of skep-
ticism, which has hunted the heavens
and sounded the seas to disprove the
existence of Creator, has turned its
attention to human society, and has
found place in this planet where a
decent man can live in decency, COM
fort and security, supporting and edu-
eating his children nnspoiled and I'M
polluted place where age is rever-
enced, infancy respected, manhood es-
teemed, w0manhood honOred, and hu-
man life held in due regard; when
skeptics can find such place ten miles
square in this globe. where the Gospel
of Christ has not gone and cleared the
way and laid the foundation and made
decency and security possible, it will
then be in order for the skeptical liter
ate to move thither and then ventilate
their views. But so long as these very
men are dependent upon the religion
which they discard for every privilege
they enjoy, they may we'll hesitate a
little before they seek to rob the Chris
tian of his hope and humanity OF it's
faith in that Saviour who alone has
given 10 man that hope of life eternal
which makes life tolerable and society
possible, and rebs death of it's terrors
and the grave Of its gloom.
