A View Acadian immigration

The Posterity of the Acadians isdo be tound
scattered throughout the United States, but
their chief habitat is Louisiana. Here, accord
ing TO their opportunities and dispositions.
they have thriVen, prospering apace with the
prosperity Of the State. Naturally, therefore,
if an Immigration of AcadiHn or Canad ian
families of these days from Canada to tho
isiaua we apprehend that their steps would
be directed By preference. a
We have been led to these thoughts by tae
incident OF the sale of 3 plantation contEu'
ing some 1000 acres to party OF twenty
Canadians, who intend to found there ii colo
nv of sixty Canadian families; and 3 the
plantation is well stocked with mules and
cattle, aud has seed eGne to plant good crop
for next season, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the project will not only be success
full to those engaged in it, but that the colony
thus formed will prove a nucleus around
which will gather as time goes by other Cana
dian families, until in the heart Of the old
Acadia of Louisiana shall arise new Acadia.
peopled with industrious farmers of the email
class, which our State so much needs to de-
velop her immense agricultural resources and
whose presence will be conducive to the pros
perity of that section of Louisiana. The plan
tatiop7 in question is situated between Breaux
Bridge and at. Martipsgile.
If this colony should be found successful,
we think others interested in such enterprises
in the State-the Wen whose energies and
shrewd intelligence foster immigration to
Louisiana-should take note of it. An I'M:
migration of Canadians to Louisiana en-
mdsse may easily be effected if the promise
held put to them be encouraging. The
establishment and success of the "Ste-
phanie' colony may prove yet to be that en-
couragemsnt.-South Illustrated.

ORDER OF COURT.

The Verdict Unanimous.

W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind,
testifes: II can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every
case. One man took six bottles, and
was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years.
Standing Abraham Hare, druggist,
BeIlville, Ohio, afirms: The best
selling medicine have ever handled in
my 20 years experience, is Electric
Bitters." Thousands of others have
added their testimony, SO that the YER
dict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kid
neys or Blood. Only a half dollar a
bottle at F. E. Bailey's Drug Store. 2

The Louisiana Press.

In no other State has the press rseu to ;
higher plane than in Louisiana. Petty jeal
ousies and personal raneor, among the jour
nalistic fraternity, hayegiven place to au eie
vatiDg, kindly and tolerant spirit. gcner
GUS emulation, creative Of high tone and O
the display of editorial ability, sesms 90 ami
mate our State press everywhere; ami when
ever one Of the fraternity embarks II Il new
enterprise. instead of having TO contend, aa
of yore, with the envy or the malicious riv
airy of his eo.laborers, his efforts are generally
upheld by the power of the entire press, lrre
spective of political or other differences ii
opinion. The existence of this gratifying con
dition has brought about q remarkable una.
nimity in matters relating to-the welfare and
progress, of State or locality, aud 10 North
no South, no East no West, no city or couu
try, intervenes to mar the advance of any por
ton of the State. On the contrary all delight
in noting and commencing the march OF pro.
gress wherever it is discernible.
In consequence, the effectiveness OF the
State press in the cause Of progress has in
creased very perceptibly and the people have
not been slow in recognizing it. Hence, the
number of the autocrats of the breakfast ia
BILE who withdraw their patronage from the
paper because perchance the tJns Of some ed
itoriaI has displeased them, is rapidly dimin-
ishing, and ere long every intelligent man will
see that this ungenerous practice IS. virtually,
but an individual effort, though in very

Hberties-A Free Press-which the trainers OF
the American Constitution so wisely embo-
died in that instrument.
Following the example that has been set il
the great West, the progressive people OF Lou
isiana are bringing out new accessions to the
State press, with every succeeding month. In
other words, they are raising and lighting
these beacons of civilization wherever it ia
possible to sustain them.
Therefore, at the beginning OF this good
year 1889, the Review, which has been the rs.
cipisut Of 80 many kindnessss from its con.
temporariss, 6nds reason to congratulate the
State Press upon its constant growth in Ell
cheney and in number, and for the splendid
spirit by which it is animated-a spirit laden
ed with immeasurable good to the State and
to her people. Review.

A Strong Charge.

At the opening Of the regular criminal term
of the District Court at New Iberia last week,
Judge Mouton delivered quite long aud i'm
presaive charge to the grand jury. in which
he clearly defined to them the duties tina,
they were called upon to perform After
charging them in q general way in regard to
their responsibility as jurors, he called their
attention particularly to the lawlessness that
had recently prevailed in that parish and said
that wherever mob law had been resorted to
in any country it had produced demoraliza.
ton, and was usurpation of the power OF
grand jurles aud courts, which, if tolerated,
was calculated to paralyze the administration
of justice and bring the law into contempt ;
that the courts of the parish. and they alone.
should have the right to punish all violations
of the law, and that the grand juries of the
pariah should be very careful to see that such
violations of law do not go uupunlshed.

A woman,s Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
this country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, hut her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed immtaent. For three
months sheu coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of Us a
bottle of ll9r. Kings New Discovery for

on taking frat dose that she slept all
night and with one bottle has been
miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus write W. G. Ham
