A VETERAN CONDUCTOR.
He Has Been Punching Tickets Ever
 Since the Year 1S4O.

He Has Been Punching Tickets EveY
 Since the Year 1S4O.
 Nathan T. Swan, of Bangor, is the oldest railroad conductor in the United States in point of actual service. He began railroading in 1840 as conductor on the Bangor, r,-Oldtown & Milford road, which was the second railroad built in this country. and has been punching tickets ever since. He is now conductor of the principal passen- ger train on the Bangor & Piscataquis road, running from Bangor to Moose head Lake and return, distance of 175 miles, every day. and he is known by all the tourists and fishermen who have travelled that way for years past. There have been great changes in railroading since Conductor Swan be- gan his career on wheels. The Ban gor, Oldtown 6 Milford, better known as the Veazie railroad, from its pre- jector and principal owner, General Samuel Veazie, was great institution in its time, but would be curiosity to- day. It was built about the year 1886, and extended across the back country from Bangor to Milford, distance of twelve miles, being intended, princi- pally, as means for the transporta- tion of lumber sawn at the up-river mills to Bangor, although 0 consider able passenger traffic was also devel- oped There were no curves, the line running straight as an arrow from one end to the other, big lodges having been blasted out and hills cut through to make way for the roadbed, while at places great hollows were filled iu to avoid any thing like grade.
 The rails were 12 feet long, 2} inches wide and s inch thick, spiked to timbers, after the fashion of a street-car track. The rolling-stock at the outset consisted of two 6-ton loco- motives, built by Stephenson, at Now castle-on-Tyne, Eng, at cost of SC, 900 each; three passenger cars, built at
 azhridge, Mass, at cost of S1, 200 each, and few fiat-cars for carrying lumber. The engines had no cabs, while the passenger cars had their entrances along the sides, English style, and the brakeman pc ched on top. Six miles an hour was the max. imum speed on the road, but this rate was seldom attained. The old road was discontinued long years ago, but It's bed may still be seen stretchine across the country like a Chinese wall and in so good state of preservation shat it is used in places as turnpike.

A Common Cold

Is often the beginning of serious affeo- tions of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and Lungs. Therefore, the importance of early end effective treatment cannot be overestinated. Ayers Cherry Pec- toral may always be relied upon for the speedy cure of Cold or Cough.
 Last January I was attacked with severe Cold, which, by neglect and fre- luent exposures, became worse, finally settling OF my lungs. A terrible cough soon followed, accompanied by pains in the chest, from which suffered intense iy. After trying various remedies, with out obtaining relief, I commenced taking Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and was
 Speedily Cured.
 I am satisfied that this remedy saved my life.-Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, R. I.
 I contracted a severe cold, which suddenly developed into Pneumonia, presenting dangerous and obstinate symptoms. My physician ordered the use of Ayers Cherry Peetoral. His in- structions were followed, and the result was 8 rapid and permanent cure. H. B. Simpson, Rogers Prairie, Tex.
 Two years ago I suffered from Q severe Cold, which settled on my Lungs. I con- suited various physicians, and took the medicines they prescribed, but received only temporary relief. A friend induced mo to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking two bottles of this medicine was cured. Since then have given the Peo- toral to my children, and consider it

Those wko knew me best considered my life to be in great danger. I continued to suffer until I commenced using Ayers Cherry Peeteral. Less than one bottle of this valuable medicine cured me, and l feel that owe the preservation of my life to it's curative powers. - Mrs. Ann Lockwood, Akron, New York.

The Police Jury Proceedings.

The reader will find iii another col
umn considerable portion Of the
minutes of the meeting Of the Police
Jury held last Monday We propose
to give henceforth full report of the
proceedings of that body, and when
we cannot publish them week ahead
of the CIARToy we expect to give them
to our readers on the same day that it
does.-St. Landry Democrat, April Is.
Our readers will find the proceed
ings of the last meeting of the Police
Jury, held last Monday, in to-days Cou-
rier As the so-called official journal
cannot accomplish impossibilities," it
is not likely the proceedings will ap-
pear in that journal until some time
in the sweet bye and bye; in the mean
time we intend keeping our readers
posted in the matter, and will have a
reporter present at each meeting of
the Police Jury to take down the pro-
ceedings, nd lay them promptly be-
fore our readers as soon as practicable
after the adjournment OF that body
Opelousas Courier, April 18th.
The police jury met on April 18th !;
the proceedings were given to the
CLARION on April Goth. When bids
we're called for to publish the proceed
ings, etc, it was not made condition
that the paper, to which the award
was made, should furnish a clerk to
take down the proceedings. II the
Courier and Democrats minute clerk
can beat the police jury's clerk by
about weeks time, the police jury
had better take him-he has certainly
"distanced' the police jury clerk in
more ways than one.

From Crowley.

The Crowley correspondent of the
New Delta, under date of April Goth,
after giving an account ola excursion
through rice farms several miles in the
country, concludes thus
Politics here creates very little stir.
Your correspondent notes, however,
that the lottery organs having about
exhausted their ammunition on levees
and schools to no effect, have begun
the campaign of mudslinging and per-
sonal abuse
The st. Landry Democrat lately Mt
tered a feeble wall about the appoint
ment OF a negro postmaster at Opelou-
sas, and tried to saddle the responsible
lity for it upon the district judge,
Whereupon several other lottery organs
echoed the cry of negro rule. "
The able and manly reply of the
Judge in the CLARION effectually dis
poses of the abortive attempt made by
this chronic mudslinger.
It IS amusing to see how these lot
terry puppets jump when the strings
are pulled.
1t is thrust in the dark at the
leaders Of the anti-lottery cause in the
parish of ST. Landry, and this is more
evident when we note that the Farm
ers' Alliance are called upon to attest
the action. But the farmers are be-
ginning to see for themselves that the
cry of "wolf" does not always material
ize the wolf.

It is said that the Harvey Glass
prize fight is to come of on the 10th
of May, on the lot in Opelousas, where
the flying horses performed, in the
rear of Mr.. Theo. Chachere's store.
The following is from the New Orleans
Delta, of April 22d:
Prof. John Duffy called at The Delta
Office yesterday in reference to an ar
ticle which appeared in yesterday S
paper headed Straight or Crooked p
In the article the following was said
regarding the coming fight between
Glass and Harney
sShould this meeting be bona fide
fight, of which there is some doubt by
several sporting men who have every
reason to know, the meeting would be
a game and stubborn one, as both men
have improved wonderfully since their
former meeting. However, it was
positively stated yesterday by we'll
known sporting man that Harvey was
the man to bet on, as the fight had
been all arranged for him to win. Such
meetings cannot fail to stamp out this
line of sport altogether"
Prof. Duffy said aThere is not one
iota of truth in the statement. The
purse is bona fide one and the fight
is to be a square one, and that, too,
before reputable, responsible club.
Mr.. J. Ell. Bruins Of l99 Canal street
was authorized by the Opelousas club
to make the match.
sThere was also another inaccuracy
in the report. Harvey is said to be a
feather weight, whereas he weighs l51
pounds and Glass weighs l52 They
are to fight at 134 pounds. There is
not doubt but that the fight will be
square. Any one who might have
doubts as to its being otherwise should
call at Mr.. Bruns' and they can get all
the money they want on Harvey not
being able to lick Glass at any stage of
the fight. /"

Mr.. Duson pretends thatI have written
something from which he affects to infer
the charge that he had Bloch appointed.
Under this pretext he INDUCES in idle
bravado, knowing that his language ap-
plies only to an imaginary nobody created
by himself
ten by me, out of which such an inference
could be drawn ard that he ran no risk in
ssing such viols1it innguage as i
s. AS peace officer under the law he
knows that my hands are tied, and that I
could not justify myself in public estima-
ton by resorting to the usual methods for
relief in such cases, but desire to say
this, that whenever Mr.. Duson takes upon
himself the responsibility to apply such
language, as he employs in his communi-
cation, to any statement i may make, he
will perhaps then find out that Judges are
human beings e. T LEWIS.
