Tickers. Croakers and Suckers.


Complaint has come to us two or
three times of late about a "quack"
doctor, by the name of Lee John
son, who operated in the interior
of Grant parish, some time since.
1t seems that johnson, chaperoned
by Mr.. w. P. Guynes, had a won-
derful "cure-all'' for sale, which he
disposed of in quantities varying
from IS to $40, the nostrum being
pulled as sure cure for deafness
in particular. Mr.. Guynes is said
to have asserted TO his rural audi
tors that he had not heard q watch
tick nor a frog croak for twelve
years, until he took some of Doctor
Johnson's medicine, and now he is
able to hear both ticker and croak-
er with distinctness. He sold q lot
of the stuff to Mr.. Sam Waits and
Mr.. E. s. Gray, both of whom pro-
nounce it fraud and q cheat, as
do number of the neighbors, who
we're also gulled into buying.

To Teach the Teachers.

The Teachers Association of Ra-

is doing a good work in educating
the teachers of central Louisiana
in all the improved methods of in
struction. All, of our pedagogues
imagine they know how to ''teach"
to perfection, when the truth is not
one in twenty understands the cor
rect method and most direct means
of imparting information to an un-
tutored mind. Anybody can teach
a trained mind, but the difficulty is
to simplify and explain ideas so as
to reach the comprehension and un-
derstanding of child. The Ra-
pides association has for its object
the fostering of improved methods
and the RELOCATION of old fogyism
and incompetency to the rear. 1t
has issued an earnest appeal for
the organization of the teachers of
the public schools in every parish
of the State, and the attendance of
at least one delegate from each
parish is requested at convention
of public school teachers, to be
held at Alexandria some time in
August next. 1t is urged that i'm
mediate action be taken in each of
the parishes to organize parish as
sociations, and Mr.. F. Wespy, pres
ident of the Rapides association,
kindly volunteers to furnish any
desired information to persons who
write to him at Alexandria on the

dence looking to this end is invited

Our Washington Letter.
WAsnxorox, D. C.. Nay 4

WAon1N0IONs ". S'.s nay 10. ldo1.
Mr.. Harrison's fool friends put
all Washington into an amused tit
ter to-day. They decided several
days ago that it would not do to an
nounce the hour of tho arrival of
the royalty equipped special train
bearing Benjamin, the candidate,
because, forsooth, he desired to es-
cape the crowd that would meet
him If they knew when he vas
coming. If the hour the train
would arrive had been announced
for days before, in all the local
newspapers, and had been placard-
ed on all the bill-boards and dead
walls in town, it is possible that
two or three hundred idle negroes
and hoodlums might have congre-
gated at the station from curiosity,
but to suppose that there would
have been a crowd large enough to
worry the gentleman is the most
humorous thing of the season, and
has set everybody to laughing.
If the opinion of leading men,
bers of the party as expressed here
lately have any influence with the
Democratic caucus of the House
of Representatives the next speak
or of the House will certainly be q
Southern man. These gentlemen
have argued that the South is en-
titled either to the Speakership or
to a place on the national ticket,
and that it would be better politics
to give il the speakershlp. If q
Southern man is to be Speaker it
will probably be either Represen-
tative Crisp, of Georgia; Repre-
sentative Mills, of Texas, or Repre-
sentative McMillin, of Tennessee.
Either one of them would suit me,
therefore / can speak of their
chances without prejudice. Mr..
Mills was largely in the lead a
month before the adjournment Of
Congress, but it now looks as il
Mr.. Crisp was ahead. and were i
not for the liquor dealers national
organization, which, it is stated
here, will bitterly fight him, ]

Mr.. Mclzillin has surprised a good
many people by developing more
strength than he had been credited
with; but his only hope of winning
is in the event of q protracted
struggle between the two first
named candidates, which many
shrewd observers are now predict.

They have queer ideas of insani-
ty in New York City. Because a
man started out with a revolver to
find and kill the scoundrel who had
betrayed his sister, he is declared
insane and locked up. If that be
insanity the country would be bet
ter of if insanity should attack, in
its most virulent form, the brother
of every deceived woman in the
land This question touches the
weakest spot in our boosted civili-
cation. A woman betrayed is made
an outcast, while her black hearted
tempter is welcomed by society.

He Got His Dantler Up.

A lot of Italians, under the lead
ership of the Provenzanos brothers,
who are alleged to be the head of
of one of the Malta factions in New
Orleans, threatened to throw a Mr..
Peters into the river, and SO intim-
idated his hands that they refused
to continue work. The offense of
Mr.. Peters, who is well known
steyedore, consisted in contracting
to unload fruit steamer, and en-
ploying lot of colored laborers to
do the work. AS soon as Mayor
Shakespeare heard of the affair, he
ordered Peters to make an affidavit
against the Provenzanos, and then
sent word to them to come to his
Office. They did so, and the mayor
proceeded to treat them to some
English, telling them that he had
ordered the police to afford Peters
and his workmen the fullest pro-
lection; that the public was aware
that they were the leaders of a law
less and dangerous element, and he
gave them timely warning of the
fact that their acts of intimidation
must cease; that if they attempted
to raise their hands against a citi-
zen of the community he would
personally take command Of the
police force and spare no means to
wipe every one of their gang of
cut throats and lawless scoundrels
from the face of the earth. They
left the mayors presence pale and
silent, apparently impressed with
the gravity of their warning.
