A FABLE.

AZ that time a great multitude were
walking upon the streets OF the city and
1t came to pass that "a man, stepping up
on round stone, fell aud was tramDlcd
nigh unto death; and when he, was
taken up his leg was broken, and he was
| carried into his house. and he asked Of
q friend. where did | faIlr9 And his
friend said unto him, upon the side
walk of the city" Then he sent for and
consulted a great lawyer, and when he
had heard the facts the lawyer said un-
to the man! Friend, since thou
dldst fall upon a loose stone which lay
upon the sidewalk of the city, then tile
city must pay thee for thy Injuries"
Forthwith the lawyer went before the
Chief Magistrate of the city and said
unto him: "Sir, thon must pay unto this
man one thousand pieces of silver for
the injuries he received upon the streets
OF the city, But the Chief magistrates
sald unto him; Il will pay this man
nothing, for he must be more careful
when he walketh."
Then they went into the HIGH cnurt
and asked Of the Judges that the civ he
made to pay the man for the Injuries he
had received. And behold when tho
testimony was all heard the Judges said
unto the Chef Magistrate Of the CITY,
whereas this man fell upon a loose
stone which lay upon the streets of the
city, and whereas it is thy dnty to see
that no such dangerous things lie upon
thy streets, therefore | command that
thou pay unto this man one thousand
pieces Of silver, and also that thou nav
all The costs incurred and it was done !
as the Judge commanded.
Moral: Keep your streets in good or
der, leave no loose stones and brick +
oats upon the side walks, see that there /
arc no holes in the bridges, and you will .
nave no damage suits to pay.

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING sATfRpAY AUG.

An average Temperature, excessive
amount OF sunshine and deficient pre-
clpltati0n characterized the weather
conditions in the northern section of
Louisiana during the past seven days.
In the southern section nearly normal
temperature and percentage of sunshine,
with a slight excess in the amount of
rainfall is noted. The average rainfall
tor the week in the cotton growing por-
ton OF the State was but ~ OF an inch:
IN the sugar and rice region an average
OF 1.58 inches fell
The prospects for cotton seem to be
very good in spite of the numerous
worms. The wholesale poisoning in

Will be obtained if the caterpi!lars are
destroyed. Thus far no material dam
age is reported, although slight damage
has ensued
In Catalonia there is no report of
worms, and the forecast is ventured that
three weeks Of fair weather will insure
good crop in that parish.
Cotton picking will be general in
about eight days in tho central portion
of the State.
La the Fellciana parishes, the weather

The "Elixir of Life"

| Dr. Hammond, referring to the con-
tinual agitation IA to the so.called
Elixir Of Life, says: "It the i1uid is stale
| and pntrid it will canse blood poisoning
and death, and it cannot be used by n
| fool by any means. Experimental who
| do not understand the subject had bet
ter look ont. or they may have sad re-
suits from their work. This reminds
me OF a letter | have received from, n
man who Offors to be my agent in the
| sale of tho fluid. Such proposition is
the most absurd thing in the world.
This subject is one that is or will be
known to the whole medical profession,
and have never hintod at any exclu
sive right to use the fluid. Whatever
my experiments dcvel0pe will be at the
disposal of the whole profession. Any
other course would be quackery. What
over benefit there is in the discovery of
A1r. BrownSequard will he for the use
of any one. There is 10 "elixir" for
sale by me and never will he. The idea
that this discovery is an elixir of life is
false statement which has been given
currency by sensational news papers"
DR.. Hammond's sensible remarks
about the discovery made by the Amer
lean French DR.. Brown Squad. to the
effect that the new remedy is merely of
the nature of tonic, which is expected
to be especially beneficial to old peo-
pie, and makes no pretensions to give
perpetual youth, or TO defy mortality,
will doubtless have a good effect. There
is nothing which the half educated
Glasses and the wholly ignorant are so
ready to go wild over as discoveries
which purport to set death ut defiance
Every age has seen charletans with
their "elixirs of life" and generally Of
eternal life, cutting blicf figure on the
stage, and our modern days will have
them now and then.
DR.. BroWn-Sequad does not expect TO
restore old people to youth, but merely |
to renew their lost vigor, and this he is, .
if we may credit the reports, doing in I
certain eases. But the whole matter ia .
yet in its experimental stage The ru- .
mors of wonderful cures which comes to .
us, must be received with great caution !
and we must not jump at the conclusion
That the 'elixr of Iife'' is q panacea for
all the ills that life is heir to- but
wait with patience for the results of the
numerous experiments now being
made
