But what is it? And why so inJuri-
Gus?
Ammonia is the most common and
the most easily produced poison there

of decay, and is thrown off by the de-
composition of organic matter. Water
which contains large amount OF sew
age contains proportionate amount OF
ammonia. Every cesspool IS an am

Ammonia was orig inally obtained
from camel's dung, and for ages THIS
was the only source. 1t may also be
produced from purified urine. Pat
ents have been applied for with the
view of utilizing the refuse from the
large stock yards for its production.

Alexandria Times: The "man from
st. Nary who now heads the boilers
ticket, waxed very wroth when the corr
respondent of the Times Democrat and
Col. Crandall charged him with very
questionable practices at the primary
election in st. Mary. One would have
supposed he would tear limb from limb
the vile calumniator of his untarnished
honor. And yet the now candidate for
governor Of Louisiana, whose honor he
is so frantic to save, has never prose-
cuted for libel or demanded retraction
from the Times Democrat, which at the
time used this plain language:
But what the most hardened politi-
clans lave never done, and would never
do for very shame, these sanity Adam
sites of st. Mary, including Messrs.
Foster and Gallery, committed at the
polls on Friday, and no shadow of
blush mantled their sanity cheeks.
They did not once seek to throw cloak
of palliation over their discreditable
work, they made no effort at conceal
ment. They had the power, being in a
majority on the committee, to steal the
vote, and they stole it openly and I'M
blushingly.
1t will astonisil some of our readers,
and we admit it astonished ourselves,
to know that the main conspirator and
ringleader in this flagitious fraud was
none other than that erstwhile paragon
Of virtue, that preux chevalier of moral
excellency and purity. Mr.. Murphy j.
Foster! But, nevertheless it was he
the embodiment of integrity par excel
lence, the immaculate imam from st.
Mary" who batched the brazen conspi-
racy. 1t was he who got himself put as
a proxy on the committee to arrange
the details of the fraud, and it was he
who conducted the robbery by precon-
certed paths to it's contamination.

Why Of course they are supporting
Foster; aye, every mothers son Of 'em.
They are the very fellows who bolted
the Democratic Convention and set up
the ballot box suffer of St. Mary for
Governor against the regular Demo-
