Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine For
May.

The May number of Frank Leslie's Sun
day Magazine is redolent of Spring both
in text and illustration. The Easter Fes-
tival, which comes this year on April 25th,
its latest possible date, is largely dealt
with. The "Ancient Customs Of Easter
Day." is very interesting article, and
DR.. Talmages sermon, "The Queen of Fes-
tivals," is a powerful presentation of Eas-
ter lessons. ".The Flight of the Bells"
with its pretty picture, is a quaint French
Easter legend. The Blessing of Food in
Russia is a curious ceremony Of that coun-
try. easter Morning" is beautiful pic
ture, easter Scenes and Easter Themes"
a characteristic illustration, and ''The
Easter Offering in Fashionable Church.
will be recognized as faithful reproduce
ton. There is also finely illustrated ar
ticle on 'The Lily" and an interesting
one on MAY Day in England in the Old
en- Time." In addition to these timely
matters there is notable article Ell "Cha-
teau Gaillard," by Mrs. Elizobeth Brooks,
of New York, an article ON "Winchester
Cathedral" with a portrait of the Bishop
and views of the cathedral and the town,
portrait and sketch of "Mrs. Harriet
Beecler StOwe," another of the PARALLELS
of Christ, a well illustrated paper on the
"Indian Training School at Carlisle, Pa"
full installments Of the several serials, and
many appropriate and enjoyable short ar
ticles and poems. Altogether this is an
exceptionally interesting number. Pub

DIED.:

At her home near Cheneyville, La, on
Friday, April 10th, 1886, Mrs. MARGA-
RET DAWSON, wife of Capt. George B.
Marshall.
The subject of this sketch was born in
Rapides Parish in the year 1924, and has
been resident Of this neighborhood since
early childhood. An afectionate wife and
a kind mother, she was loved by all who
knew her charitable to all and ever
ready to relieve the distressed. Her death
has cast gloom over the entire commu-
nifty. But few days since she was in the
midst of her many relatives and friends in
apparent good health and with her usual
cheerful smile beaming upon her we'll
known features. None dreamed that the
Grim Destroyer was so near at hand, but
the future has dark covering that no
human hand has ever drawn aside. Her
end was peaceful. She leaves overwhelm-
ed with grief her aged husband, four
daughters and six sons. To her sorely at
ficted family we extend our heartfelt
sympathy and coincidence. J.W.

Mr.. EDITOR

Mr.. EDITOR
I cannot imagine what object the intli-
vidual who signs himself "Alexandrian"
could have had in bringing my name into
the little mud singing that is going on
between himself and the Hon. Robt. P.
Hunter. Now, my candid impression is,
that if the aforesaid "Alexandrian" will
stick to the Hon. gentleman, he will find
a foeman worthy Of his steel, without at
tempting to bring outsiders into the little
family quarrel. In the early stage Of this
newspaper war between the gentlemen,
thought had Alexandrian spotted, but
his last squib convinces that I was in
error. He says he doesn't want Col. Hun
ters. Now l will be compelled to seek
some other locality to find the man that
don't want otfice-and fear that will
have to leave Rapides Parish to find the
distinguished writer. am willing to &C
knowledge that am like the Indian by
eating the buzzard he said he could eat
buzzard, but he had no hankering after it.
| have no particular hankering after Of
fee, but will take any Office from Coun-
Gilman of Lecompte (after we are incOr-
porated and exempted from Parish tax
up to Governor. Now. sir, while this lit
tie mud Singing or family quarrel went
on between the two gentlemen l looked
on as casual spectator, and as far as l
was concerned was willing for them to
make it regular Kilkenny cat fight. l
was perfectly willing for them to swallow
each other, but upon reflection fear there
would be too much brain compressed into
SO small space that it would produce an
explosion, and the etfluvia arising from
such calamity might necessitate a tho
rough sanitary organization in your &C
tive little city. Respectfully,

THE following shonld serve as an
example to the interior towns in the
State which have local papers, and
only half support them. As has been
said before, the best way to tell live
town, is to see how its paper is gotten
mp and supported. 1t is a sign which
hardl y ever fails:
"Sixty-eight business firms and promi-
nent citizens of Washington, La, adj
dressed request to Mr.. J. B. Lawton, of
the New Iberia Enterprise. to start pa
per in that town, pledging him 9heir sup
port should he conclude to embark in the
undertaking. This act shows that the
Washingt0nians realize the Importance
Of having a good paper to bring their
town into notice. This is not only a high
compliment to Mr.. Lawton's ability as a
journalist, but it is ais high tribute to
the usefulness Of the press. 1t is to be
hoped that it will awaken the business
men and the people generally of every To-
cality of the State to the necessity of ex-
tending liberal support to their local pa
pers, through which the industries and
resources OF Il community are viewed
abroad. Too frequently, alas, people lose
sight of this fact, and because they do not
coincide with the political views ex-
pressed by their local paper, will allow it
to circulate abroad without the ADVERTISE
ments of their business, or industries, to
their own detriment and that of the COM
munity, which is thereby made to appear
an unimportant place by reason Of the
limited number of advertisements in its
columns. Merchants, manufacturers, pro-
fessional men and property owners, should
bear i'll mind that the local paper is the
defender of their town when it is assailed
and that it is their representative in the
Worlds Congress. The community that
will realize this fact and act accordingly
will never be found at the tail of the pro-
cession."

In concluding an article on the
retirement of Judge Manning from
the Supreme Bench of the State, the
New Orleans Picay,t,ae has this to say:
In the retirement of Judge Manning
from the Supreme Bench, which he has
honored for many years, the State parts
with the services of an able jurist. Judge
Manning rose to prominence in his pro-
tession in the palmy days of the State, and
received his first appointment as Judge
from Gov. Thomas o. Moore. On the ac-
cession of Gov. Nichols he was appointed
Chief Justice. The annals of the Court
attest his arduous labors and will survive
a monument to his ability and learning.

there is no cure for You, but try Elec-

safe, 80 pule, and so perfect a Blood
Purifier. Electric Bitters will cure
Dyspepsia, Diabetes and all diseases
of the Kidneys. Invaluable in atfec-

come all Urinary difficulties. Large

THE festival OF Pesach or Easter
commemorative of the departure of the
Israelites from Egypt, and their mi
raculous deliverance from their task
masters, an event that is observed an
nually by the Hebrews throughout
the country was ushered in on Monday
last. The feast is of "eight days du,a-
ton, during which time the faithful
discard all leaven bread, and food
and condiments containing flour, and
employ instead matzos, typical of the
unleavened bread that the ancient Is
raelites in their departure from the
Land of Thraldom, carried with them
for sustenance."
