The Need of a NAVY.

There are some public men who
appear to be opposed to any ex-
penditure of money for new navy
sufficient to protect our coast and
to uphold the honor of the Ameri-
can flag. They argue that in the
event of war this country could in
ninety days build a vavy strong
enough to cope with any nation
on earth. AS n matter of course
such wild statements will not be
accepted even by the dullest mar
ine in the service or the most stu
pid clodhopper in the rural dis
tricts. 1t is true that we might
be able to do great deal in nine
ty days i'll the way of arming ships
and making preparations for de-
Tense, but the enemy would not be
idle either, and it is safe to say
that if the war was with one of the
great naval powers of Europe,
every large port on the Atlantic
Coast would he knocked into a
cocked-hat before we would be
able to infict the slightest injury
On the enemy. 1t requires from
one to two years to build a formid-
able warship and therefore, the
best thing the country can do is
to prepare for war, as George
Washington advised, in time of
peace. The ninety day business
will not to at all and the people,
we think, appreciate the fact.
There need not be reckless and
extravagant expenditure of money
for naval purposes, but the build
ing of five or six good fighting
ships every year will soon put this
country in a position to hold its
own against England or any other
foreign power.-States.

IOdide of Potash.

1t would be very difficult to prejudice
"A physician against the use of IOdide OF
Potash. Every intelligent medical stu
dent know that IOdiae of Potash is con
sidered by every high authority, to he a
specific for severe blood diseases. The
only objection to its use in simple sOiu

effects the kidneys. Certainly its pro-

Report of the Grand Jury.

To the Hon. j. +. Mouton
Judge of the 2lst District Court
holding session and in for st. Mar
tin parish.
The Grand jury impanelled at
the present session of Court, hav-
ing terminated their labor, before
asking your Honor to discharge
them, beg leave to respectfully
submit the following report.
Less cases of the violation of
the criminal statutes have been
brought by affidavit to the know
ledge of the Grand Jury than at
previous term of Court.
We have examined in all II
cases, being the total number re-
ported to us, and out Of this num-
Der have found 6 true bills, and 5
no true bills, which we have re-
ported for action.
We know and have not been in
formed of any cases of trespass ON
the lands ofthe State. These lands
are timbered lands, and if any de-
predations are committed on them,
no one except those engaged in it
know anything of it, and they will
not report on themselves.
We call the attention of the Off
GERS to the sale of liquors to mi
nors. 1t is prohibited by law, and
while no case of the kind has been
reported to us, yet we believe that
there are some and therefore urge
upon the officers to keep a keen
lookout and report the violators
of this law.
We do the same in reference to
the Bazars when liquor is sold
without a license, often leading to
crimes of a more serious nature.
The jail is in good condition in
regard to the keeping, but the
steele cage is not completed. We
are of opinion that a cistern is ne
cessary to the Jail.
We have been informed by the
prisoners of their comfort, and
their good treatment by the off,
GERS. Repairs ought to be done
to the roof of the building.
We therefore ask to be finally
discharged.

CREEPING MALARIA.
Iusidious and Stealthy in its Approach,
Deadly and UnyieIdiug in its Grasp.
Extracts from II Lecture ut the Surgi'
cal Hotel, Columbus, o., by
DR.. 5. Il. Hartman.

The onset of malaria Is 81 very in
sidious that it is quite difficult To de
tcct the nature Of it until after it has
fastened thoroughly in the system.
Malaria will often poster n person for
months without making him sick abed,
but making him genuinely miserable
creeping rigors, coated tongue, appc-
tite changeablc, and many indcscribable
sensations of genuinely disagrccale
kinds. Chills and hot flashes of very
irregular duration. and recurrence come
and 90 without seeming cause. The
hands and feet are usually cold and
clammy, and the general tendency is to
dryness and coldneS of the SKIN of the
whole body.
Among the symptoms to which this
class of patients are liable, but not al
ways present, may be mentioned neu-
ralgic headache, nervous chills, hysteria,
sinking or faint spells, distressing pal
pitation of the heart, defective eycsight,
total inability to read, write, OF do any
business; urine abundant, without col
or, and loss of flesh. Melancholy
feelings, a discouraged, ~listless state of
mind, mental depression and confusion
of the mind, surely indicate the pres
ence of malaria. This form is called
malarial biliouiness. For this "walk-
ing malaria" which neither puts one
to bed nor allows him to work or
study, Pe-ru-na should be taken as
directed on the bottle. A course of
Pe-ru-nr will entirely cleanse the sys-
TEN of every particle of the malarial
poison. Therefore If you have any
kind of bad feeling which you attrIb-
ute to malaria, by all means follow this
treatment. 1t at one restores the
appetite, clears the befogged senses,
and brings back the hopeful state of
mind which malaria is sure TO destroy.
A thorough use of it will convince you
of its wonderful power i'll all such cases.
Pe-ru-na can be relied on to cure all
these cases and restores perfect health
as speedily as the chronic nature of the
difficulty will allow. Should constIpa-
ton exist at the same time, Man-a-lin
should pc added. The Pe-ru-na tones
up the nervous system and enriches
the blood, giving strength and vitality,
while Man-a-lin restores the activity OF
the excretory glands, enabling the sys-
TEN to rid itself of accumulated poison
bringing back to this most unfortunate
class of invalids the flush and good
feeling of perfect health. Directions
for use accompany each bottle.

chills and fever, and fever and ague,
