LOSSES.
Great Credit Due TO Western Troops-A
Record of Blood.

Great Credit Due to Western Troops-A
Record of Blood.
Colonel William +. Fox, in his recent
ly published work, "Regimental Losses
in the American Civil War: A treatise
on the extentand nature of the mortuary
losses in the Union regiments, with
statistics compiled from the official
records" has given among other new
and interesting historical matter a series
of tables showing the number OF officers
and men who were killed or mortally
wounded in each regiment and battery
Of the entire Union army, also the mum
Der of deaths in each regiment from DIS
ease, accident or other causes. These
records indicate the amount OF active
service performed by each regiment as
compared with others, as shown by their
relative loss in action. OF course the
casualties of battle would in some in
stances be no fair measure of the service
rendered by a command. There were
regiments which on certain occasions
rendered efficient and valuable service
in battle and accomplished important
results with only a small loss of life,
but in the long run, in the successive
campaigns of four long years of desper-
ate fighting, the losses as shown in
these tables will naturally be accepted
by the student of history as a proper
standard in measuring the comparative
services of the various regiments. Scars
are the best evidence of wounds, and a
long roll of honor bespeaks a fighting
regiment.
From an examination of the maximum
regimental casualties for each action,
as shown in Colonel Fox's work, it APP
pears that in the prominent battles OF
the Western armies the following regi-
ments led in point of maximum losses:

The Legislature is moving along in
its work slowly and doing nothing
rapidly.
Bills innumerable are introduced,
and referred to committee. where they
sleep the sleep of the righteous.
Both houses spend Friday discus
sing the question whether they will
adjourn to meet On Saturday or Mon
day, and then adjourn to Monday. BY
this means two days of Legislation is
lost and gone forever each week.
Then they spend whole days in the
Senate in an effort to appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the acts of a
member of the other house, over
whom they have no control whatever.
Then the lower house spends a GAY or
two in an effort to maintain it's dignity
and denounce the Senate for
thing that it may probably do, bnt
which it has not done
Great is Legislation but greater
still are Legislators.

IRRIGATION.

There are two methods of irrigating
rice, the me by pumps or elevators.
the other by troughs.
The talk of irrigating by symptoms is
all folly. 1t cannot be done. Whilst
the bayou is full, water can be passed
over the levee by syphons. but when it
gets anywhere near the level of the
earth, aud hat is the case generally
when irrigation is the more necessary,
it cannot be done.
Small farmers cannot afford TO put
up and 8 pumps. There is little
profit in the cultivation of rice. By
irrigating troughs the grower can raise
his small area of rice, making little
more than good wages. The expense
of a pump would be more than his
crop would bring him.
Hence, if he is forbidden to use the
trough he must cease to cultivate that
cereal.
Whether rice dahls have brought
about crevasses on the river is a ques-
ton to be answered to those who know
the facts. A great deal of land has
been rented to transient growers on
the river, who had no interest in any,
thing more than the crop they were
cultivating. Troughs were inserted
for temporary purposes, and badly in
serted. No care was taken of them
afterward in all probability, and Gre
vases may have occurred thereby.
In this parish a man puts a trough
in his W levee, knowing that if it
yields to the pressure of a high bayou
that he will be a financially ruined
a lie puts a trough in to stay and
in such a nj as % be absolutely
safe.

An Old Story.

When a man says he feels drowsy in
the spring. that his digestion is bad,
and that he don't f~eel..well generally,
he knows that he needs something to
give tone to his system. to purify his
blood and put his liver in proper con-
dition to perform the duties of organic
lite- He goes to his physician with
this same old story year after year and
the physician prescribes a tonic and
alternative. The best tonic in u use
like this is Dr.. Westmoreland7s Calls
ava Tonic. 1t acts charmingly on the
liver, purities the blood and strength
II the system for its daily work.
This great medicine can be bought at
Tlibodeaax Pharmacy for so cents
and LOO a bottle.
