Newspaper Laws.

Subscribers who do mot give express notice
to the contrary are considered wishing TO con-
tinue their subscription.
If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their periodicals, the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the Office to which they
are directed, they are responsible until they
have settled their bills, and ordered them dis
continued.
Tfsnbscribers move to other places without
informing the publishers, and the papers are
sent to the former direction, they are held res
ponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
take periodicals from the Office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled fol-, is prima facia
evidence of intentional fraud.
IF subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at the
end of their time, ifthey do not wish to con-
tinue taking the paper; otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it on and the
subscribers win be responsible until an ex-
press notice, with payment of all arrears is
sent TO The publisher.
The latest postal law decision isto the eff
feet that publishers of newspapers can, under
the law, arrest any man for fraud who takes a
paper and refuses TO pay for ii. Under this
law tits a dangerous trick for a man to allow
his subscription account to run on from SIX
months or a year unpaid, and then tell the
postmaster to mark it e refused" or send the
editor a postal card to discontinue the paper.

Among the Areadians.
HAPPY HOMES WHICH THEY FOUND
IN LoUIsIANA-HoW THEY FARM.

1--we been down in Louisiana
for a week with the Arcadians
people Longfellow talks about
in his Evangeline, you know;
Gains the darkies down there
call them" said a Northwestern
Railway conductor yesterday.
ITS like going back to our
gfeat-grandfarther's days to go
among them. They are the sim
plest and happiest people | ever
saw, and their country is the most
beautiful in the world. It was
pretty hard when they were driven
from their first settlement, but they
have cause to rejoice at it. Why,
they don't have to work. They
just tickle that magnificent soil
with the hoofs of their cattle and
it laughs a harvest. Old Basil, the
blacksmith, had a level head, /
tell you. They do not even have
to plough for their rice crop.
When it stops raining in the spring
they ride out on horseback to
their rice fields, which are then
ponds, and sow the seed rice broad
cast over the water, after which
they have nothing more to do till
harvest. IF the season is dry the
seed is scattered over the ground
and tramped into the soil by the
cattle, which are driven over the
fields for the purpose. July is
the month of harvest, and in it the
happy "Cajin cuts his rice with
the primitive sickle and hauls the
sheavs homein a clumsy cart made
entirely of wood and drawn by
oxen, which are fastened to the
tongue by loops passed over their
horns. When the harvest is over
the grain is trodden out by oxen
as in the days of the patriarchs.
It is then ground in little wooden
mill and winnowed in a sieve,
when it is ready to be made into
bread. See this shirt? It's real
homespun-made by a Cain
housewife out of cotton grown in
her garden.
The Gains are great orange
growers. They have a funny
way, too, of selling their crop. A
buyer comes out when the trees
are in bloom, and, after half a
dozen or more whiting matches.
a bargain is struck for the pros
pective crop, the Cain always
demanding and getting half the
agreed price in advance. When
this business is settled there is
nothing more 10 do but to wait
for aru to prepare another har-
vest.-Chicago News.

A Reliable Remedy for Dyptheria.

r. Munich, proprietor of a drug
establishment in Leipzig, Saxony,
publishes in the Pharmacist, a
Medical paper, a remedy for dyp-
liberia which has had surprising
success. He urgently presses all
physicians to try it for the benefit
Of all patients suffering from the
disease, and also requests the press
to publish it.
He says My little daughter,
! years Of age, has had dyptheria
twice within some weeks, with Sc
we're fever, about los degrees Fab
renheit. We gave with great sue
cess rectifed oil Of turpintine (ole-
UNI terebinth nae rectificatum.)
Dose, one teaspoonful in the morn
ing and the same at evening,
Adults should take one table
spoonful. After which drink a
little lukewarm milk to alley the
burning in the throat.
For children the second dose
can be mixed with milk, which
will render it easier to take.
The result is really marvellous.
The inflammation of the abnormal
dyptheritic spots in the throat
grows lighter and lighter at the
edges, and in this way they grad
ually shrink until in twenty-four
hours they disappear entirely, leav-
ing no sign.
To quiet the inhamed tonsils the
throat was gargled at first every
two hours, and then every three
hours, with the following gargle
One ounce chlorate Of potash tc
forty ounces of distilled water.
This remedy has been used with
perfect satisfaction both by adults
and children, not once ending fa-
tally. The Milwaukee Nolksblatt
quoted this remedy from the Ger
man paper, and afterwards receiv-
ed q letter from a subscriber il
Mitchell county, Iowa, saying rha
a child in the writer's family wa.
attacked by dyptheria, treated b
local physicians and died thei
four members of the same family
were similarly attacked, treatedb y
this remedy, and, am happy t
tell you, all recovered.

Collection Of the Poll Tax.

One of the meritorious results
of the last session of the Legisla-
ture is the act for the better and
more speedy collection ofthe poll
tax, the text of which we publish
elsewhere in full.
The people grow excited when
discussing the necessities and adj
vantages of public education ; it
is a fecund subject for cross roads
oratory a potent card to play in
election contests; yet, notWith-
standing this commmendable in
terest in the liberal education of
the youth of the country, there IS
not one public duty more glaring-
ly neglected and cast aside by the
voters Of the State than this OBJ
legation, which the State imposes,
of contributing to the cause OF
education and enlightenment by
the payment Of the Insignificant
one dollar. No one not a proper
ty holder pays the poll tax it is
design with some, but with the
great body of voters it is neglect
and inattention. On the registra-
ton books of this parish there are
no less than $1,000 names inscrib-
eG. What fine schools we could
have, and how well we could regu-
late them and keep them open
from month to month and year to
year, if each one Of these names
signi6ed a dollar contributed to
the public school fund of the par
ish. But as.the law could be not en-
forced up to the last Legislature
we doubt if there was one hun
dred dollars paid during any one
year, not forced from the Taxpayer
by virtue ofhis capacity of proper
ty holder.
The object of the law in ques,
ton is to perform an act OF simple
Justice between the parish and the
poll tax payer. If the poll tax
has not been paid, it directs the
clerk of the court to withhold from
the witness or juror the amount Of
the tax he owes, pay him the bal
ance coming to him for his ser.
vice, and return the tax thus re-
served into the treasury ofthe par.
ish school board.
Nothing could be fairer thar
this enforced settlement between
the parish and the tax debtor
It is to be hoped that the law vii
not only work smoothly and even.
ly, but that it will furnish a source
of revenue that in the future vii
materially assist and strengthen
our public schools. Yet let th'
public at large understand that TIT
failure to the witness, juror or rea
estate owners does not exemp
from the duty Of paying the pol
tax, but the duty devolves alike
on all whe exercise the right Q
suffrage.-B. R. Truth.

Who rests supinely at his ease without

A Southern exchange says: 1.-THE
country is watching to see what the
President will do in the case nf the
Louisiana federal Office holders who
figured prominently in the Fifth dis
trict congressional convention. 1t
knows that he issued an executive or
der having reference to incidents of the
kind, and that the President is firm in
carrying out his convictions"
Our esteemed contemporaries dag
dosis is accurate. The country is wait
ing for that very thing. These Louisi-
una officials, who were appointed on a
9 Specific issue of reform, have violated
their implied pledges, and disregarded
the Presidents explicit order. The
Assistant Postmaster of New Orleans
left bis official duties and travelled
three hundred miles to a remote corner
of the State to organize and preside
over u local nominating convention,
and the Collector of Internal Revenue
at New Orleans and the Marshal of the
Western District of Louisiana went
along as bosses of county delegations
and workers for a local candidate.
Aud to make the case more 'sbindiBg.n
us they say down South, their man was
d~isastronsly beaten, thereby showing
that these reform emce-holderss were
trying to foist upon the people u caDdi-
date TO whom they were opposed. The
country is very anxious, indeed, to
know what the President means to do.
