ruptcy in order that the homeward
journey might not be interrupted.
Well, time passed by, and it is
doubtful if the colonel bestowed more
than a fleeing thought upon the 81.
Anyway, it's a number of years ago
since all recellections of the transac-
ton faded from his mind, but it was
recalled three days ago by the receipt
of the following letter from Hudson,
under date of Cola, La.

Says a dispatch from Washing
ton to the New York Sun: When Da-
vid B. Hill, of New York, takes his
seat in the United States Senate on
March 9Th next he will find himself
amid very congeuial surroundings.
His desk will be situated between
that of Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
on the left, and that of Senator Col
quit, of Georgia, on the right. Sena-
torial desks are assigned on the prin-
ciple Of first come first served. Capt.
Isaac Bassett, the white-haired old
assistant sergeant-at-arms, who has
been an employee of the Senate for
nearly sixty years, keeps little red
book in which he makes note of the
requests of Senators to get possession
of certain seats when vacated. Thus,
as soon as Senator is defeated for re-
election a colleague enters his name
in the red book, and the vacated chair
is assigned to him accordingly. Yes
terday Capt. Bassett received letter
from Senator-elect Hill requesting as
desirable seat as possible. The old
gentleman thereupon consulted his list
Of applications. He found it possible
to assign to Mr. Hill the desk now oc-
cupied by Senator Wade Hampton, f
South Ca.olina, and so it happens
that New York Senator will find
himself on the 5th of March seated be-
tween those handsome and whiskelless
statesmen, the Hon. John Warwick
Daniel and Alfred Holt Colquitt.-
This chair has been occupied for
twelve years by the one-legged vete-
ran, Wade Hampton, of South Caro-
lima, who was defeated by the Alliance
candidate, Mr.. Ilby. The desk to
which Senator Hill has been thus as.
signed is the outer. row of the Demo
cratic side, but is centrally located and
in direct line with the eye Of the Pres
idcnt pro tempore. Immediately in
front of this desk is that occupied is
that occupied by the leader of the
Democrats, Senator Arthur P. Cor
man, of Maryland. 1t is regarded as
a very desirable location, and Mr..
Hill. being new Senator, may con-
graduate himself on having had the
foresight to secure it.

A Sure Cure For the Smallpox and
Scarlet Fever.

An exchange gives the following
recipe as a sure cure for these diseases:
herewith append recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent or
cure the smallpox though the pittings
are filing. When Jenner discovered
cow-poz in England the world of
science hurled ali avalanche of fame
upon his head; but when the most
scientific school of medicine in the
world-that of Pans-published this
recipe as a panacea for smallpox, it
passed nnheeded. 1t is as nnfailing
as Ease, and conquers in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when taken by
a we'll person 1t will also cure scar
let fever. Here is the recipe as l
have used it, and cured my children
of scarlet fever; here it is as | have
used it to cure the smallpox; when
learned physicians said the patient
must die, it cured:
sulphate of zinc, grain; fox glove
(digitalis) grain; half a teaspoonful of
sugar; mix with two teaspoonsfnl of wa
ter. When thoroughly mixed add four
ounces of water. Take q spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller
doses, according TO age. If counties
would compel their physicians to use this
there would be no need of pest houses.
If you value advice and experience use
this for that terrible disease.

After Twenty-Six Years.

In the early part of July, 1865,
Colonel w. F. Taylor loaned So to a
Confederate soldier named D. B.
Hudson. Three days ago Mr.. Hud.
son returned the So.
There's strange, strange story hid
den behind the above simple state
ment, and it goes to prove that the
gentleman who observed in days gone
by that "truth is stranger than fiction
wore No. 81 hat.
The story briefly told is as follows
D. B. Hudson, who is now a general
merchant at Eola, La, enlisted as a
private in Company A of the Thir-
teentb Mississippi Volunteers when
the late unpleasantness became a de-
cided and grim reality.
He served in Barksdale's Brigade
OF henshaw's Division of Longstreet's
Corps of Army of North Virginia and
participated in a number of engage
ments. He seemed to be an unlucky
sort of fellow, and long before the
climax came was taken prisoner ana
remained in custody until all was
over.
Then he started homeward, not rich
in coin or regally clad. On his Jour
ney southwark he touched at Mem
phis, and when he arrived his stock of
cash was represented by a zero, and
his wearing apparel would hardly have
made work day suit of clothes for
a scarecrow, in truth, he was flat
broke and as ragged as one could
we'll be and still travel the public
highway.
While wandering along Main
street, thinking of his home in Miss
issippi, wondering how he was going
to get there and incidentally specula-
ting as to where that meet meal was
coming from, his eye rested upon a
Masonic emblem that adorned the
lapel of Colonel 1'aylor's coat.
Now the colonel in those days was
no financial power, in fact he had also
just quit playing ssar engagement in
"Held by the Enemy" and was hold
ing none too lucrative position as
clerk in dry goods store. His
clothes would hardly have been con-
sidered au fait at banquet, or even
at an ice cream or oyster festival, and
his worldly wealth was represented
by the sum of 50.
Nevertheless, when Hudson came
up to him, gave the Masonic grip and
explained the financial embarrassment
under which he was laboring, the SO
was reposipg in the Mississippian's
palm just as soon as the transfer could
be made. The Colonel was hard up

THE BLIND.

The attention Of the people of the
State is earnestly called to the follow
ing circular, which will explain itself:
Let Blind Children be Educated
New buildings, surrounded by large
and beautiful grounds, having been
completed and given to Louisiana for
the exclusive and permanent use of
her blind. School will open Oct LIST.
All young persons in the State, of
so defective vision, as to be unable to
get an education in the ordinary
schools, and of good health and sound
mind will be received, we'll cared for,
and instructed in all the branches
usually taught in schools for youths
with sight, besides having careful
training in music and calisthenics.
Girls may learn sewing, knitting
and much of domestic work. Boys
are taught several trades. No charges
for either board or instruction.
Any one who knows of any blind
person less than twenty years of age,
lis earnestly requested to send the
name and address of such person to
this school. For further information,
address
DIR. W. H. N. MAGRUDER,
Principal.
Or MRS. MARY S. LANE, Institute
for Blind, Baton Rouge, La.
The beautiful building for the use
of the blind recently completed is
capable of accommodating one hun
dred Of these unfortunates, but, there
are now within its walls only 24-1s
of them being pupils and six in the
industrial department.
The fact is we'll established that
uuder proper methods, the moral and
intellectual faculties of the blind are
as susceptible of development and i'm
provement as are those of persons who
are favored with sight; and it is a
duty we owe the afflicted to provide
them an asylum and give them the
benefits of education.

The fame that Senator Eustis
achieved by his mastery speech
against the force bill is still expand
ing. The Eastern press continues to
comment upon it, and every day the
Senator is in receipt of some new ex-
pressions of popular appreciation.
In referring to this the New York
World says: "The greatest natural
orator in the Senate is Mr. Eustis, of
Louisiana. He is big man physic-
ally and has full voice, and a de.
Lucrative, imposing style of speech
that is very effective. At times bis
voice fills the Senate chamber with
its reverberations, and again it falls
to loud whisper"
To which the Washington Critic
replies: "Senator Eustis, no doubt,
possesses many native gifts, but we
doubt if he can be called a natural
orator in the sense which the adieo-
tive natural" is generally employed
in this connection. He may have had
original qualifications, but Senator
Eustis is above all things a scholarly
and cultivated man. He is an alum
nus, student, man of travel, of OBJ
servation, and of great and varied lit
erary requirement. Superimposed up
on the rich layer of natural ability
there is a graceful and impressive
Structure of education and refinement
not often to be found in our public
men. Senator Eustis is an even stron-
ger orator in French than in English.
He is completely master of that Ian
guage and its literature. Whatever
he may have been originally--and
nature was lavish in its gifts-Sena-.
Eustia is now the perfected product of
high and elegant culture, nor the nn-
cut diamond; that the World seems to
.hiuk him."

CENTRAL SUGAR FACToRY.-In a
sensible and quite lengthy article on
this subject, the Sugar Boacl says:
Rapides could easily support three
central sugar factories of 100000
pounds capacity each. They should
be located about as follows: One near
Alexandria, or about Mr.. VIM. Har-
'ris' plantation, where large brick
sugar house, we'll suited to the pur-
pose, would doubtless be put in as
stock by that gentleman if not dona-
ted outright. The Morgan, T. & P.
and Watkins-three railroads-pass
through it. The second central facto-
ry should be in the neighborhood of
Lecomte, say on Mr.. e. V. Weems'
plantation, now something of cen
trail house, and the third at or near
CheneyFilie.
These points are sufficiently remote
from each other not to interfere, and
each could easily get full supply of
cane from the adjacent country. The
Texas and Pacific and Morgan cars
run through the very centre of that
rich section, and would also act as
feeders to the factories from more re-
mote points. Then Bayous Robert
and Bouef meander through that dis
trict in serpentine way, fully drain
ing the lands and giving fatboat nav
igation from almost every mans door
to the neare.s central factory, should
it bee too far to haul by wagon. Be-
fore the war, steamers regularly piled
those waters, and Mr.. Ralph Smith
had railway running in connection
Herewith from Lecomte to Aiexan-
dria.
