ASrRANCE DTsEASE.-Annie Hanson
ayoung woman, is lying at the Monte
fore House for Chronic Invalids, in
New York, suffering from peculiar
disease with which the doctors have
never before met. They call it aero
megaly. Owing to q disease of the
woman's blood, which indirectly acts
on her bones, she is growing in the
most abnormal shape and should she
live long she will lose all semblance to
q human being. Her hands are about
three times the size of an average mans
in many of the measurements, particu-
lary the finger ends. Measuring
around the hand as for glove the size
given by the tape line is 10l inches.
Around the forehead she measures "a!
inches; from the forehead to the chin
the measurement is 81 inches. The
jawbone seems to have outgrown other
local bones, and has the appearance OF
a great weight dragging down the face.
The nose measures about three inches.
and has widened in proportion. The
ears are also greatly increased in size
and measure in length about four inches.
They protrude in like manner. The
doctors are baffled. They are treating
hee for blood disease but the malady
progresses. She has been at the home
three years aud has every prospect OF
remaining there.

at the extent of the stream that had

as far IS the eye could reach up the
stream. Before a week had passed l

There was half dozen glaciers within .
radius of a few miles of us, while all
the high hill-tops around were covered
with snow and ice. frcm which more or

Oemeral.
Immediately after Grants plan Of
campaign was agreed upon. Butler
Was called upon by a friend of
Chase's, who held his place directly
from the Secretary Of the Treasury
and without the Intervention of the
President or Senate, and who ut the
time controlled the means OF enabling
men to make fortunes greater in
number and larger in amount than
any other treasury official has ever
held. After some preliminary con-
versation, in which it was agreed that,
if Chase wished to uc.eed, he must
have . War Democrat for Vice Prcsi-
dent, Mr.. Chsse's en'issary said:
"You are a War Democrat, Gen
eral; would you take that position
with Chaser"
".Are you authorized by Mr.. Chase
to put this question to me and report
my answer to him for his considera>
tion?"
"You may rest assured" was the
reply; 81 am fully empowered by Mr..
Chase to put the question, and he
hopes the answer will be favorable"
Say, them" Butler answered, "that
have no desire to be Vice President.
! am IS years old; | am in command
OF Cue army; able to do some fur

Within three weeks afterward Hon.
Simon Cameron came to Fortress
Monroe. Cameron and Butler had
from the beginning of the war been
in warm friendly relations, and But.
Ter owed much to him. Thereto
Mr.. Cameron felt privileged to speak
with directness.

Let the two conventions which are
to meet on June 14th devise some
just and equitable plan to re-unite and
harmOnized the devided Democracy.
The method of harmonization pro-
posed by the Jastrenski Committee is
fair, just and equitable, and if it had
been adopted by the Wilkinson Com,
mittee, the dissensions in the party
would have been healed ere this. We
hope the plan, OF some other similar in
purpose, will be adopted by the two
conventions soon to meet in Baton
Rouge.
The Democracy should be liar-
monized and we believe that it will be
reunited if the true leaders of tile par
ty would only come together and put
down the ~tire-eaters of botb factions
Let justice and equity be done !; let the
rights of the people be respected let
harmony prevail all along the line /:
settle the differences existing in the
different parishes and establish tie
fact rs to what is the true party or
ganization of the party everywhere,
aud, then, leave the rest to the common
sense of the rank and file of the party
and unity will soon prevail.
Let rs harmonic, but let also JUS
tice and equity prevail.

AN UNRESTRICTED DELE
CATION.

Ihe Convention which will meet in
Baton Rouge during the coming week
should send an uninstructed delega-
ton to Chicago. No matter what the
preferences of the CONVEX ton be. it
should give Way to the general well
fare, and depute ii delegation that will
be no m mans delegation in adj
vance.
Only two men have thus far been
very prominently brought forward for
the nomination, two men Il friends
are already aligned in fierce antaco-
nism, and the nomination NAV be
most unfortunate tor the Democracy
Complications may spring up in tile
convention, creating emergencies now
undreamed of, and TO bind our delega-
ton with instructions would be to i'm
pair, II not to destroy, its usefulness.
Select good men, men of Judgment
aud of experience, men of patriotism
who viii hold the general welfare of
the peop.e paramount to every other
consideration, and leave To their dis
cretien the selection of suitable candi-
dates TO bear the standard of the Dem
ocraey 10 the coming gigantic struggle
ior supr smacy in the land.

The Democrats of Lafourche, salts
fed With their delegates to the coming
convention chosen last February ac-
cording to Democratic usages, did not
bother themselves with last Mondays
mass-meeting. In whichever of the
two conventions these delegates of the
people, chosen by the people in strict
conformity with the rules and usages
of the Democratic party, may present
themselves, in that convention, aud
that convention alone, will the true
Democracy of Lafourcle be lawfully
represented.

Whenever one attempts to discuss
the pros and cons of the differences ex-
listing in the Democratic ranks, some
ould-be-harmonizers on the principle
of we-take-all ard you-look-on exclaim
in great excitement, Hush it will
only serve to revive the preiudices and
passions which characterized the late
campaign" Evidently these patriots
are conscious of the weakness Of their
cause /; otherwise they would court
discussion-not fear it.
"A rotten cause abides no handling

EDITORIAL NOTES

Last Mondays meeting held here in
response to a call of the alleged Demo-
cratic Parish Central Committee was
an immense success. It laid the far
famed assembly of the "Tailors of
Tociey Street in the shade by a tre-
mendous majority-The much afver-
tised call of the so-eclled committee
actually brought together some twenty
voters, and these actually undertook
to act for over $500 Democrats and
select for them delegates, not only 10
a convention already called, but also
to another convention TO be called in
the future. Here is assurance for You,
We gods.

The bill abolishing r~ice-Humes,
dahls &C.. and prohibiting the cutting
of the levees for any purpose, has final
ly passed the house of representatives
without a dissenting voice, and there
seems to be little doubt tina. it will 90
through the senate, too, and become a
law.
This will operate a great hardship
on the rice planters of Lafourche,
many of whom had resorted to the cul-
ture of that cereal because their lands
were almost unfit for anything else.
In former laws on this subject, some
portions of Lafourrhe were excepted,
and the same exceptions might have
been made again with no serious trou-
bic to the public. Indeed, the whole
parish might have been excepted
Parties interested in the exception
should bestir themselves, for time
presses. There is little hope of suc-
cess but still they might make the at
tempt.
