Morgan City Review.

Morgan City Review.
The United States Engineers have at
last decided to place locks in Bayou
Plaquemine and in a short time work
will be commenced which, when finish
ed, will ensure slack water navigation
all the year round from the Mississippi
to this entire section.
The advantages accruing to the TecIe
country will be comparatively unlimit-
ed. The route through the Plauuemine
will be fully two hundred miles shorter
than the one now used and which can
be traversed only a part of the wear
owing to the difficulties which flood and
low waters throw in the way Of steam
boat traffic and as consequence
freights can be handled much more
rapidly and with more safety and
cheapness.
The route to the Gulf will be cores
pondingly shortened and freights can
be unloaded at our wharves from the
upper cities of the Mississippi without
breaking bulk or being handled several
times. This new route will Stimulate
the various industries of the Attakapas.
open new lands to cultivation by pro-
viding cheap method of transporting
their produce, lumber can be shipped to
st. Louis and other cities and towns,
-four, grain and farm machinery can
be obtained in return, and all at reduced
rates. Coal can be delivered cheaper
and with more facilities, to our
planters.
In fact, locks in bayou Plauuemine
Will cause opposition and competition
and the shippers and buyers will profit
accordingly.

How to Preserve Health,
Scientific American.

One of the best ways to keep in good health,
says the Monthly Bulletin, is not to think or
worry too much about it. If you feel strong
and well, don't imagine that some insidious
disease was secretly attacking your constitll-
ton. Many people are like the inexperienced
| traveller, who anxiously inquired about symp-
toms OF seasickness, and how he should know
when he had it. One generally knows when
he is sick, and frequently many supposedly
alarming symptoms prove, upon investigation,
| to be either perfectly natural occurrences or
of very slight Importance.
Eat and drink what you desire, as long as
it agrees with you. Your stomach knows
pretty well i1 what it can digest. Plaih simple
food Is desirable, as general thing, but the
luxuries of the table in moderation, Will do no
harm.
Alcoholic beverages are not fit for habitual
use. They are true medicines, and should only
be used like any other medicines-under the
advice OF physician. AS a regular beverage
they can do no good, but will almost certainly
do harm.
Take all the sleep you can get, but remem-
Der that the necessary amount varies greatly
for different persons Some must sleep at
least nine hours, while Others thrive under
six. Only don't rob yourself of what you re-
ally need. The i" midnight oil" is a terribly
expensive illuminant to burn either for purpo-
ses OF labor Or study.
Always treat common cold with great res
pect. Ninety-nine times out of hundred it
Will get well any way, but the hundredth cold,
II neglected, may lead to bronchitis, pneumo-
MIA, or consumption. 1t is best to take no
II you are sick enough to need any medi-
cine at al, beyond the simple remedies faml-
lar to all, you are sick enough to need the
attendance OF physician.
BY all means take as much exercise as Won
can, ana be In the open air as much as posi-
BILE. Outdoor life is the natural condition of
mankind, and the more one can have of it the
better. The practice must not be carried t,
extremes, however. There are many days
when one is much better off in a warm com
Portable. well-ventilated house than trying to
take outdoor exercise in mid-winter storm,
OF under July sun, and no one ever strength
ened his constitution by sleeping with his bed
room window open with the outdoor temper
allure at zero, or allowing the snow to drift in
upon his pillow.
Fresh air, sunlight, good and sufficient food
pure water, outdoor exercise, temperance in
all things, and a cheerful disposition, are the
chief remedies in natures dispensatory, and
are worth more than all the drugs and medi-
eines in the shops DR.. Holmes has truly said
that ii nlne-tenths of all the medicines patent

The Bastrop Appeal says there is quite
contrast in the noise made by certain
newspapers over the recent slaughter
