The African savage considers an
English or American woman hideous
because her front teeth are white and
not extracted, and her lips uniform by
a copper ring. Similarly the average
American or Englishman can sec no
beauty in the Nubian belle whose
smile brings her lips on level with
her eyebrows, and draws her nose
back of her ears.
Much depends upon the theory and
the point of view, but there is one
thing that all men, the most civilized
as well as savage, admire in woman,
and that is the possession of a wealth
Of hair.
1t is duty that every woman owes
to herself, as well as to those around
her, to take the best possible care OF
what hair she has, and recover what
ever she may have lost. That this is
what has been done in hundreds of
cases by the use of the Louisiana
Creole Hair Restorer can be sub
stantiated by letters from every part
Of the countrys
Ladies' have used it, and it at once
stopped their hair from falling out;
the scalp was refreshed so that in
some cases headaches ceased; hair be-
gan to GROW where it was thin, or
whu. auare vls none at all; and fin
ally they n.Gcad in full and luxurious
suits Of hair lhis is what the Louis
tara ,FeoI. Hair RestOrer does, and it
needs uu ngia bottle to prove its
! virtues. Apply 10 your druggist, or
sord to tive Man. field Drug Co., pro-
prjetors, Memphis, Tenn.

Through the Weary Hours.

OF many a night, made double long
by its prOtracted agony, the rheumatic
sufferer tOsses to and fro Oh his sleep
less couch. vaiEly praying for that rest
which only comes by fits and starts.
His ma!ady is ore which ordinary medi-
cines too often fail to relieve. but there
is ample evidence to prove that the Off
cient blood depurent, HOstetter's StO-
mach Bitters, affords the rheumatic a re-
liable means of relief. Check the mala-
dy in its incipient stages, when the first
prem0nitory twinges come on, with this
agreeable medicine, and avoid years OF
torture. Whatever be the rationale of
the active influence Of the Bitters upon
this malady, certain it 10 that no evi-
dence relating to its effect is more direct
and positive than that which relates to
its action in cases of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, 1t de-
serves prOtracted, systematic trial, and
should not be abandoned because not at
once remedial. 1t is equally Officacicns
in dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred
| diseases.

Farm Mortgages.

The Census Bureau has been fOrmulat-
ing the land mortgage debt statistics OF
the country SO as to arrive at the rela-
tive conditions of the farmers. We have
Just received bulletin from the Bureau
containing figures in which the land
mortgage indebtedness in Iowa is con-
trasted with that in Alabama. From it
we derive some interesting figures.
In Alabama the total mortgage in
debtedness on lands is $39,O21, 1888. OF
which about three-fOurths is on farms
and One-fOurth Oh town lots.
In Iowa the total debt upon lands is
s199,O3i $50, three-quarters of which is
on farm lands. and the ether one-fourth
Oh town lots.
The average life ofehortgages in Ala
bama is ftem21a to 81 years, while in
iowa it is Over5 years. The legal rate
of interest in Alabama iss8 per cent,
while in Iowa it is 10 per cent.
This is a showing vastly in favor OF
the farmers of Alabama, and We believe
the same rule will apply to all the agri'
cultural States OF the South and the
West.-Picayune.

An Empty Treasury.

The last Congress, which spent one
thousand millions of the peoples money
in time of profound peace. has about
bankrupted the national treasury. 1t
appears that the net cash balance avail
able for the current needs of the Govern
,nent on the 23d instant was less than
Sl2OOO,OOO In June the quarterly PEN
sion payment of s3OOCO,OOO has got to
be met. Customs receipts have begun to
fall off largely with free sugar and q
prohibitory tariff on many articles OF
consumption. The Government may
squeeze through with fair weather. but
another financial panic like that of last
fall would knock the bottom ont O
Uncle Sans strong bOx.-Picayune.

The appointment OF Harry Block, a
c0lOred man as postmaster at OpelOusas
has created quite a sensation in that
town and the entire parish of st. Landry;
and several meeting have been held in
different parts of the parish protesting
against the appointment and demanding
his resignation. 1t looks very much,
however. that Blocks appointment was
secured by the influence of a political
faction of that parish, with the idea pro-
badly of conrting the negro vote, but it
appears that the Indignation OF the peO-
pie will have the effect OF forcing that
faction to dodge the matter, fearing a
general crash in their election if they
persist in backing Block: The people Of
st. Landry should find out who are those
who recommended Block. and not cen!
sure the administration for the appoint:
ment of cOlored man, as Wanamaker
was perhaps not aware that Block was a
colored man. We had a similar case
here in 1883 when colOred man was
recommended by Politicians 10 Governor
McEnery for town trustee, he was
appointed, and it was only after he had
been appointed that the Governor found
out that he had been deceived, and said
that he had appointed the man upon the
recommendation he had received, net III
the least suspecting they were capable
of such a thing. McEnery is o white
man; and an advocate of White Supre:
macy. but he was deceived and appoint
ed negro as councilman Of this town
Now, gentlemen, ascertain as we did
the source of Blocks appointment, an
. it will probably surprise you:
