The Trouble at Lafayette.

The town Of Lafayette has been
IN a fever of excitement the last
few days, growing out Of faction
al feud over municipal election.
1t seems there were two tickets
placed in the field for mayor, mar
shall and collector One of these
tickets composed mainly of the
present lncum5ents, WAS called
the ring or municipal ticket, the
other tho democratic ticket. Ac.
cording TO our information, one OF
the candidates on the ring ticket
endcavored to concentrate the nc.
gro's vote, and the democratic
ticket repealed it and refused to
permit the negroes 10 vote. A
band Of "rsgulators,' aimed with
Winchester rifles from St. Mar
tinsville appeared on the scene
to prevent negroes voting, when
the Sheriff arrested twslve and
lodged them in Jail. 10 prevent

and sflidsvits made against a numt

We do not know where the
blame lies, but agree with the
Picayune that the whole commun-
ity and the State of Louisiana
should not be held responsible for
what = few Of it, citizens have
done in the excitement of loc.l
fauds. We 10 not by ary means

STRANGE MISTAKES.
Seine of the Laughah1e Experiences Of q
Eastern Bookseller.

Some of the Laughah1e Experiences Of an
Eastern Bookseller.
Says a Portland bookseller: "At
one time we were carrying a large
stock of religious works, and one day
| called out to one of my clerks, hold
ing up book which he had wrapped
up for some one; is this 1.-The City of
GodP"' No, guess not, he said,
without looking round, at least |
never heard it called that before. 1t
is generally called the Forest City.
Perhaps it is Brooklyn. He afterwaSd
explained that he thought had found
a reference in some book to a place
called the City of God and wanted to
know what city it meant.
''On another occasion woman
with valise in her hand rushed in
and asked new boy if he had That
Husband of Nine in our store? He
came rushing out to me in the back

| surmised what the trouble was and
attended to her myself.
'tSome of the most amusing mis-
takes, however, are chose made by
people who get the titles of books
wrong. They read about them in
some catalogue or newspaper. but
don't more than half remember the
name, and the result is, to say the
least peculiar One woman came in
the other Gay and asked for The
Rhinestone, and went out mad be-
cause one of the clerks told her we
didn't sell jewelry. Another wanted

thorne. It took our whole force about

Advantages of the New Style Which Opens

Advantages of the New Style Which Opens
in Front and Behind.
1t is really a fact that the novelty of
the season in shirts is an article which
opens in front and behind. Odd, isn't
it? Yes, but it is not only odd, but
nice-an innovation which promises to
revolutionize this important branch of
gentlemen's dress. eve have them"
said a fashionable haberdasher, as |
jokingly asked for ''shirts open in front
and behind, and he volunteered the
information that they are 1.-The thing"
however the idea may strike one at
first. ITO begin with" said he, 1.-The
shirt which opens only behind,
now worn almost exclusively by city
people, while an improvement over the
old style opening only in front, has to
be drawn on over the head, missing
the hair at times, when it would be
better left undisturbed, and scratching
the face oftentimes with the stiff linen
of the starched bOsoms or the points of
the spiral fastenings for diamonds or
other studs in the new shirt. These

opens clear down the front and back,
and the front can be closed with the
buttons or studs, and the garment
gently wrapped around a fellow
like a breast-plate or a chest
protector. and buttoned behind. But
there is another advantage equally
marked. Coming in two fat pieces, it
can be more easily washed and less
easily torn to shreds in the mangling
machines and the wringers. Then
comes the ironing. In the old styles
the irons have to be pushed inside to
reach the back of the bosoms, and in
ironing the front the shirt has to be
pulled over the ironing-board, which is
especially designed to rip things. In
the novel, two-piece, open-in-the-back
style of shirt, as any one can see, the
work is done with as little difficulty as

Drew blood, modern doctors cleanse it;
hence the increased demand for Altera-

but to impurity, of the Blood; and it
is equally well attested that no blood
