The Courier and Democrat have been max
| ing war on this paper over Sheriff Fontenot's
shoulders. Over two years ago, when they
were the only papers here, what chance did
the people have to get resolutions, passed
| by public meetings opposed to the lottery,
| published in those papers? The publication
of another paper here was public necessity,
| and Sheriff Fontenot and others supplied it..
| That part of the public who were opposed
| to lottery domination owe him and them
| thanks for starting the Clarion.-St. Landry
/ Clarion.
There is an old saying that lie we'll
stuck to is worth hundred truths.
No resolutions, passed by public meet
ings opposed to the lottery, or anything
else, we're ever excluded from our col
umns. On one occasion body of men
pretending to be Democrats held
convention, and among other fanatical
measures, denounced the lottery and
every body and every thing, including
the COURIER, that did not accord with
their peculiar views on that question
and indulged their favoriate propensi
ty, to the extent of several columns of
that sort of stuff, then asked US to pub
lish them. We replied that the publi-
cation would have to be paid for at
regular advertising rates. A subscrip-
tion was then raised and the money
sent to New Orleans paper to pay for
having the proceedings published
there; in other words they were willing
to pay somebody else to do the work
which they wanted us to do for moth
ing.
In this connection, we would sug-
gest that the Clarion read the follow
ing clipping, and paste it up iu a con-
venient place for reference
There were men who were opposed to the
lottery from principle, and there are also
men who rode it as hobby, hoping to obtain
Office through pretended hostility to the lot
terry With the first class the lottery is a
dead issue, but the second still want to ride
the hobby for the sake of Office and self-ag-
grandizement. The one are patriots, the 9TH
er demagogues, and naturally the patriots
have a supreme contempt for the dema.

The Comet.

Princeton, N. j., Nov 22.--Prof.
Charles A. Young says of the comet
now attracting so much attention:
cit has increased in size since | first
saw it, so, in my opinion, it is probably
coming toward US. 1t is travelling
apout 75O, 600 miles day, and, as | OBJ
served it last night, calculated it to b.
about 100000 miles from the earth
AS the earth is approaching the place
where the two orbits come together al
the rate of / 100000 miles day, the
comet, if it travels in the orbit of Biela,
will pass by the nearest spot to the
earth's orbit eight hours before the
earth reaches it, and this will be before
next Sunday, probably Saturday night
"The appearance of the comet is
much different from the ordinary. At
| first its edges was as clear as if cut
with pair of scissors. Now, however,
its tail has grown much longer, and
last night it resembled brush. Its
spectrum is continuous, but without
the dark lines, so probably it is not q
self luminous body. 1t is now three or
four times as large as when | first saw
| it, and last night ! saw IN many parts
of it little shining particles, which,
with the telescope, | recognized to be
stars shining through it. So it is a
gaseous substance, and ifit does strike
the earth will cause no great harm.
Its substance is extremely rare.
Our air is several times more dense,
and if it does strike the earth it will
do no more harm to the inhabitants
than a feathebed would do to the fish
if it should fall on the ocean. The
principal harm that could come would
be the falling of few meteoric stones
over the surface of the earth and a
slight disturbance iu our atmosphere
caused by the gasses mixing with ouI
air. Its diameter is about 25,000,00C
miles, SO the falling of as many mete
Grid stones as it seems to contain over
such surface would spread them SO
thinly that not very many would strike
the earth and these would do little dam.
age. If it strikes the earth next Satur
day night, about all we will see will be
a nice display of meteoric fireworks. 4,

HAD A SECRET SESSION.
The Anti-Debris Association Transacts
Considerable Business.
VIII Prosecute Illicit Hydraulickfng,
But Not Opposed to the In
dustry Minus Debris.

The State Anti-Debris Association con-
cluded its session about o'clock yester-
day afternoon at the Hall of Records.
The session began late Monday after
noon, lasting up to midnight, and was
resumed yesterday morning. 1t was
strictly a star-chamber affair, and when
ever reporter or other intruder poked
his head in at the door all business ceased
until he was chased out.
1t was learned, however, that six valley
counties - Sacramento, Yolo, Colusa,
Yuba, Sutter and Glenn-were repre-
sented, and that the association COM
pleted its organization by electing
Erskine Greer of Sacramento President,
Robert Conner of Colusa Secretary, I.
Wilbur Of Suttor General Manager, and
Attorney Phipps Of Yuba Assistant
Manager.
some heavy resolutions We're adopted,
declaring that the association intends to
tight hydraulic mining to the bitter end,
ana that 1t must cease; that the anti
DEBRIS counties are in earnest and are
willing to spend their money in the prose-
cutlon OF miners who persist in dumping
sllckens into the rivers.
While these resolutions were adopted
unanimously, the fact developed in the
debate on them that the anti-debris peo-
pie are not arrayed against hydraulic
mining as an industry, but only when it
injuries them. They appeared to all agree
that If the debris could be successfully
restrained they would have no further
fault to find.
The subject of the Caminetti mining
Dill was brought up, but it was decided
not TO discuss it. The members of the
association. however, are understood to
look kindly toward the bill if its provis-
ions will all be carried out.
1t was decided to go ahead now, though,
with the prosecution of miners who are
surreptitiously hydraulicking and pol
Iutlng the rivers, and Robert I. Devlin
OF TINS city, who has been in the employ
OF Sacramento County for some time in
this work, was chosen attorney for the
whole association. Litigation that has
already been commenced by the several
valley counties will be continued under
Mr.. Devlin's direction.
1t was expected that report would be
received from a committee, appointed
under the temporary organization some
time ago, for the purpose OF Investigating
the scheme for restraining debris. The
committee, however, was not ready, and
was given further time.
Finance and Legislative Committees
were appointed, thus completing the per-
manent organization, after which an adj
journment was taken until the first Mon
day of next month.

Eve,s Daughters.

Marion Harland, on pages 1O3 and AS
Of her popular work, Ewes Daughters;
or Common-Sense for Maid, Wife and
Mother" says:
For the aching back-should it be
slow in recovering its normal strength
an ALLCoCK's Porous PLASTER is an ex-
eellent comforter, bining the sensa-
ton of the sustained pressure of a strong,
warm hand with certain tonic qualities
developed in the wearing. 1t should be
kept over the seat of uneasiness for sew
eral days-in obstinate cases for perhaps
a fortnight.
For pain in the back wear an ALL
COCKS Porous PLASTER constantly, re-
newng as it wears off. This is an inval-
liable support when the weight on the
small of the back becomes heavy and the
aching incessant."
