Solntely necessary.
How that can be obtained is the
question that a@itateS the minds of
all residents in lower Louisiana.
The simplest, most etfectual and
practical method is by means of
troa.hS or dahlS.
Opposition is raised to the use of

are Il principal cause OF crevasseS.
that occasion so great disasters in
Louisiana.
An Investigation into this queS
ton IS worthy of the time aud study
of the people. in Whl"h the cuitiva
ton Of rice is 30 important a factor.
DO these Ilce trOughs, cause the
damage that is laid to their charge.
or rather is it not the neglect OF the
people. or the want of proper rrgu
lations to control their manufacture
and work, that the damage is
brought upon the people?
In this Parish we have no knowl
edge Of more than two crevasses
that have occurred in the last 81
years by rice trongh>, that were in
operation, and in both instances,
they We're built when the water
was rising, and c,me upon them
before they We're completed.
4 candid investigation will show
to an unplejudiced mind that the
cauSe of crevasSe>, said to be occa
stoned by defective dahls, is to he
found in the negligence of the own
ers of the dahlS that were placed

enable the proper authorities to
control their operation or have
them removed.
The trough> in the leveps of the
Laiourche, that are properly and
honestly used, give no trouble what
ever, ANA in tach. the Irvees in which
they are placed are the strongest
and best to be found.

Under the present system oil

Neither have they any right to

Hence, if the lands of any person
for whose benefit trough would
be placed, to irrigate, we're made
responsible for the repairs aud re

wards wore in the war OF the rebellion. But ne nus
donned another uniform and enlisted In another
war From W. II. CliGord's Notification Speech.
Yes, Col. Edwards has indeed doomed
another uniform now and enlisted in
another war" He has donned the ex-
Confederate gray uniform. and enlisted
in war to give ex-Confederates the full
control of the government which they
fought to destroy. The old blue uniform
stands for patriotism, loyalty to country,
the determination of traitors and rebels,
and the supremacy of the "old flag" over
every State and Territory of the Union.
the new uniform signifies the rule of red
handed rebels in this country. who from
policy suppress their hatred of the govern
ment they would have destroyed but for
the "boys in blue" and who now seek by
murder, terrorism and fraudulent elections
to gain the political supremacy in this
nation and govern it to answer their un-
just and unholy purposes. When Col.
Edwards hears the election returns in
Maine. next September he will understand
what the people Of this State think of his
change of uniform.

We are glad to notice among the candi-
dates mentioned for State Senators in the
neighboring counties Of Penobscot and
Somerset the names of Hon. Silas c..
Hatch of Bangor, and Hon. A. r. Bixby
of Skowhegan. It is not for Us to take
any part in selecting the. candidates in
these counties. and we do not intend to do
so, bat these two gentlemen have rendered
conspicuous and faithful service to their
counties and their Sta.e. and if their tel
low republicans should see fit to place
them in nomination for the high Office Of
Senator, their election will be assured and
they will be sure OF two faithful members
who will serve well their constituency and
the State at large.
Hon. Silas C. Hatch has had long
public experience. He has represented
his city in the Legislature; been tor many
years member of the Executive Coun.
Gil; is laborious. painstaking and con-
scientious official. who constantly laborl
Tor the welfare of his State, always gov
erned by high sense OF honor. never
pandering to any selfish motives. He is
loyal and earnest republican, devoted to
the prosperity of his State. Every posi-
| ton that he has filled he has honored, and
thus brought honor to his party.
Mr.. Bixby is younger man in public
service, but in his term in the Executive
Council he has shown great aptitude fol
public business, and has become thorough.
ly interested in and acquainted with the
official affairs of the State. No man has
cleaner record, no republican is more
steadfast in devotion to his party, nc
county has better citizen.

Ar Important Function Stimulated.

The kidneys exercise most important func-
tions, which are so wearisome that they tax
to the utmost the strength and endurance of
these busy little organs. Every breath, every
pulsatiou of the heart, every movement of a
limb, every thought, makes waste and neces-
sitaes the development of new atoms. The
used up particles in the blood are sifted from
it and dissolved in a waterv fluid by the kid
neys, which then discharge this fluid into the
bladder. train Of disasters to the system
would follow if these ashes" so to speak,
were not thoroughly strained off and dis
charged. This is the case when the kidneys
become inactive. Hostetter's Stomach
Brters, by restoring their activity,
not only keeps open most important outlet
for impurities. but prevents diseases of the
kidneys themselves, which when inert be-
come liable to tall prey to diabe ties,
Brights disease, mephitis, altunenuria, and
other maladies specially incident to them,
which, although not specially rapid in their
progression, are particularly obstinate and
fatal.

The Uncle of Maud ).
How THE FAMOUS MARE OBTAINED HER
NAME-A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.

When ex-Assemblym lyman Peter Mitchell, of
this city was a bow, he attended school in
New. Hampshire, and at Salem Falls, in that
State, he became acquainted with the Will
lards. one of the 6rst families Of Gardiner,
Me. There were three beautiful daughters,
and Peter became very fond of one of them,
Olive by name. When he was graduated
from school he went to Boston to plunge in
to the cold world of business, but he did not
forget Olive, aud regularly corresponded
with her. In Boston he was made acquainted
with George NJ. Stone, a 60 ahead young man
who was seeking his fortune there. While
writing to the young lady down IN Maine
Peter smoke of her and her eisters to young
Stone. and mentioned especially the beauty
and grace of Arvila, Olives elder sister.
..Give her nv regards" SAID Stone. and Peter
wrote this in his letter to Olive When Olive
replied she said that Arvila sent her regards
to Mr.. Stone. This pleased young Stone i'm
mensely, aud at length he mustered up sam
cient courage to write letter to Arvila.
Then Peter found himself vOuching for the
good qualities of Mr.. Stone in writing to
Olive. and he never lost an opportunity to
say something pretty 10 Arvila's behalf to
Nj. Stone. Peter was staggered one day
when he learned that there was an engage
meut of marriage between Arvila and Mr..
Stone. They had never seen each other
When they did meet, after they had agreed to
marry, they were delighted with each other
They were married at the old Willard home
stead, in Maine, and the bride said that II her
husband did not prove to be good man she
would blame Peter Mitchell.
At the breaking out of the war Mr Stone
Joined Massachusetts regiment and became
q captain. At the close of the war he went
West with his wife and little daughter Maud.
