Mercurial Poison.

Mercury is frequently injudiciously
used by quack doctors in cases of malaria

St. Francis Xavier's
Convent,
Under Direction OF Sisters Of Divine
Providence.
OPENED SEPTEMBER ID, 1889

YNHIS INSTITUTION OFFERS EVERY
l. advantage to young ladies who de-
sire to receive q good and solid education.
The course of study is thorough and
extensive, comprising all the English
beanches, German, French, Vocal and
Instrumental Music, Drawing, Painting,
the General Principles Of Bookkeeping,
Plain Sewing and every variety of Fancy
Work.
Pupils are divided into Primary, Inter.
mediate and Senior Departments. The
discipline of the School is mild, firm and
and parental. As soon as they enter the
Convent, they become the children of the
house, and the Sisters watch over their
best interests with maternal sOlicitude
Great attention is given to the polite
lady-like department of the pupils.
Pupils of all denominations are receiv.
ed, aud while the utmost care is taken in
tho religious instruction of the children
of Catholic parents, there is no influence
exercised over the religious opinions OF
others but for the sake of order, all the
pupils are required to attend the religious
exercises with decorum.
The scholastic year is divided into two
sessions of five months each. The first
, session begins with the first day in Sep.
TENDER, and the second with the first day
in February.

Mgr. O'Connell, rector Of the
American College in Rome; and a
favorlte at the Vatican said, in an in
terview to representatives of the
New York Star on Thursday last:
The Pope is not going to die this
year nor next, nor still the next, and
the Lord permitting, he may live
dozen more years, as far as bis health
NAV now indicate. He is still hearty
and strong, and works just as hard as
ever-about sixteen hours day. He
takes the greatest interest in Ameri-
can affairs and the coming Catholic
celebrations in America. Of the ded-
ication of the great university at
Washington be talks constantly and
considers it will be one of the greatest
institutions of learning in the world.
The Pope deplores his present posi-
ton very much. There is no doubt
that the present trouble in Italy will
soon actuate his holiness in taking
some decisive step. While regretting
the indignities that have been heaped
upon the Vatican, the Pope dislikes
the idea of leaving the city of his pre-
decessors and the seat of the Catholic
church for so great 2 period of years
But if insults CONTINUE, there will be
but one thing to do, and that will b.
to leave. There are many rumor'
aAoat in Europe as to where the Pope
would 60, but no one will know out
side of the Vatican until the move i
made.

THE COMING CONGRESS.

Now that the elections in the new
States are determined, we can form
says the New Orleans Times Democrat,
some idea of the status of Congress.
The Senate will stand As Republicans
to 80 Democrats, Republican major
ity of six. OF the Senators to be
elected in 1891, the Democrats have
chance to gain in California, Neva-
da and New York, while the only
chance of loss is in Ohio. Should
they make these gains and hold Ohio,
the Senate will be a tie; if Ohio il
lost, the Republican majority will be
e. In 1893 the Democrats have chan
ces in Michigan, Nevada, New York
and Rhode Island, and no chances Of
losing seat. There are, therefore
probabilities of having a Democratic
Senate in the next three or four years
and no prospects of larger Republi
can majority than at present.
The House, with the new members
will have on the face of the returns
1863 Republicans to 161 Democrats,
slender majority Of s, which will Civ
the Republicans all the responsible.

ONIONS INSTEAD OF QUINIEE.-
One day was taken with chills and
headache, signs that my old enemy,
malaria, was on hand. Ny quinine
box was empty, and | was looking
forward to a restless and sleepless
night. In deportation l peeled raw
onion and slowly ate it, and then went
to bed with warm feet and an extra
comforter, when, presto -! was asleep
in FIVE minutes, and awakened in tue

for the days duties. Our homely but
strong friend will be appreciated in
time as a medicine, and if agricultu-

scent taken out that taints the breath
SO unpleasantly, families will he put.
ting their spills" in the cellar by the
barrel, and the doctors would take to
onion farming. The onion acts as a
cathartic and diuretic, and may help
to break up cold or lesson the bad
symptoms. Said doctor: ~ always
store a barrel Of onions in my cellar in
the fall. We have them cooked twice
a week, and whoever of the family is
threatened with cold eats them raw. -
If this vegetable were generally eaten
here..would be no diptheria, rheuma'

But bless you! the young men and
women are afraid to eat them. One
young man went SO far as to say to
me: IF my wife ate onions l would

ENFORCE THE LAWS!

This is the saying of every one at
present. We say every one - we
mean all good, law-abiding citizens,
of course. Citizens who wish to see
our Parish and Town grow, their sep
arate interests, in every way, advanced
etc. The DEMOCRAT, never luke
warm in the cause of our people, says
SO too. For more than one reason we
re.echo these sentiments, believing the
same to be our duty as journalist.
We have watched for months, nay
years past, the increase of crime in
our land. We have all along said
and advocated that strict enforce
ment of the laws would bring about a
better result. And aow the people,
the true people, come to our assistance,
and say, "crime must be put down.
to which we answer, Amen!
Our country can never prosper as
long as such state of affairs exist.
No one can be safe, or happy, or con-
tented. All of US will be in perfect
dread of those who openly defy the
laws, and who are allowed to commit
crime and 60 unpublished.
The commentary, is indeed, a sad
one. No one knows it better than we;
no one ia inclined to acknowledge il
quicker.
Then let us seek a remedy. We
know it. Then why pause on the
brink of destruction, when one safe
leap will land US on the side of pros,
perity, peace and happiness. Oul
country will prosper, and our people
will be happy. Its every interest will
be advanced, and in few short years
we shall grow to such proportions as
to be hardly recognizable.
These remarke are not made to re.
fleet particularly on the recent "acts
of omission" committed in Rapides
but are applied in general sense
and may be taken as applicable to the
rotten state of affairs in our midst fol-
years past. We say, aud that toe
openly and loudly, 'Let the Laws BIZ
Enforced"
In his charge to the Grand Jury
last week Judge Blackman said ''tha
the one great and paramount cause O.
reckless crime, was the non-enforce
ment OF the laws"
We agree with bin.
Let the laws be enforced on eael
and every one aike-whether he be
rich or poor, white or black, large OF
small.

ALExANDRIA's FUTURE.-We clip
the following from the New Orleans
States Of Saturday. 1t speaks for it.
self and is overly complimentary to
our Town:
Col. f. B. Wheelock in converse
ton with States reporter yesterday
expressed the opinion that he would
not be surprised if within the next
three years Alexandria had five lines
of railroads running into the town.
He also said he expected some day
not far distant to see Alexandra be-
come the capital of the State, because
of its central location, and the fact
that it is destined to be large and
prosperous town. There is good rea-
son to believe that when the railroad
from Alexandria through Monroe to
McGehee, Ark, is completed that Mr..
Gould will build line from Alexan-
dria north to Camden, a line from
Marshall, Texas, down to Grand
Cane, on the Texas and Pacific, and
then extend the branch of the Inter.
national and Great Northern from
Trinity to Ogden, in Tyler County,
from the latter point over to Alexan-
dria. Mr.. Gould owns several very
large and valuable tracts of pine land
which it is bis intention to develop at
an early day. The lands are said to
be covered with the finest long leaf
pine in the world.

M. lola, in q recent interview,
has this to say of the French president:
Carnot is indeed the pearl of func-
tionaries. Was there ever Presi-
dent like him7 A man who takes
his trade to heart and who tries to
prove, as in the case of kings, that
exactitude is the politeness Of a Pres
ident of the French republic. NJ. Car
not is present at all feasts and all in
augurations-to-day here, to morrow
there, after tomorrow some place else.
In a word, we find his majestic and
cold face everywhere; and it is never
unwelcome. He plaques himself with
tranquility, it is true, but he does it
certainly for the good of France
One cannot ask for anything more
from him. NJ. Carnot is rather the
chief of bureau than a President.
He has the punctuality, the we'll bal
anced mind, the pleasant manners and
the solemn air that belong to such a
chief. THIS attitude has so COM
pletely won for him the sympathies Of
the crowd that in the campaign of in
suits through which we have just
passed, he alone was spared. Not a
single mud splash has reached his
faultless overcoat.
