The analysis of rice bran proves it to
be Il most nutritious stock food. All
farm animals thrive on it. A few years
since it was sold at S. per ton. Now it
is quoted in the market at $40 to S11

Louisiana Democrat: The dangerous
and practically unlimited patronage
now welded by the Governor of Louisi-

During the past year the loss of cattle
by exposure to winter weather was least

Louisiana Democrat: The Governor
of Louisiana must be, divested of all ap
pointive powec except to fill vacancies,
in case of dea& &b, resignation or other
disqualification, and then only until
elections can be ordered and held to
supply the vacant places.
Louisiana Democrat: The election

modified and revised, that the Governor
cannot perpetuate himself in power or

in that secure retreat and safe haven
of ex-Governors, the Supreme Court.
General Zebulon York, of Concordia,
was stricken with paralysis at his home

We have been experiencing some very
moist weather for the past few days,
much to the discomfort of the planters,
as nearly all field work has been sus
pended and the grass is booming.
AS Washingtonian permit me to take
off my hat to you for the HatteriDg men
tion made IN your columns last week of
the entertainment given by the "Eure-
kas" to the Teachers Institute.
Apropos to the suggestion made by
you of celebrating in some suitable man
ner the 4tll of July, think it meet that
we should revive the old custom so long
neglected. Now that the bloody
cilasm has been permanently hridged !;
waves above our Northern brethren
again lovingly kisses with its sllken
folds the genial breeze of our Southern
cline; now that the bonds of union are
more secure than ever before now that
the humblest citizen in fie land is proud
to boast that he is an American, | say
too that it is highly. proper that we
should gather around the holy shrine of
Liberty and give homage to the glory
and traditions of the immortal heroes
of 1776
The God that decreed Freedom our
BIT thright has interviewer with our ma
tue an inalienable love for it. Neither
power nor the artful Wooings of tyranny
can ever Wean the affections of man
from this best, brightest gift of Heaven
him and rouses all the nObler impulses
of the soul there is nothing that 50 re-
lines the springs Of human action, and
affords such scope for mind--mind that
Sangnishes, and almost loses its ethereal
nature, under the degrading influence Of
sif.spotism there is nothing, ln short,
that exefts n happier influence on the
Faculties and snsceptibilities of the in
sliridual, aud forms better keystone to
the arch of national prosperity.
1t has been q custom not less among
barbarans than among civilized nations
tp soleDuize the return of those days on
which any great act tending to the hap
piuess of people has been performed.
And prior to the war it was the case
with as. / say again let us renew it.
Let us again have that glorious Magma
Cilarta of human rights AND liberties
publicly read, to inspire the young with
its noble sentiments. Let us have some
orator 10 recount to us the lofty senti-
snents and patriotic zeal that actuated
S,u. hanored foFefathers in throwing Off
tho yoke Of British tyranny. Let us
combine to awaken within tho hOsoms
of our youth that strong detastation for
lyranDy which animated aud nerged for
The contest our patriotic sres, which
Strengthened them in advcrsity and sus-
tained them throughout the bloody
strife. Every bond that uDites man to
nun, every obligation man owes his ben
cfactor, every tie that binds man to his
country, bid us celebrate and eternizs
the heroes of tS176. SILYAB.

An American Greeting

An American naval officer says that
once when q great function took place
in the harbor of Cherbourg several YES
sells of our Atlantic squadron were
present and were drawn up in line to
salute the empress yacht as it passed.
The French sailors manned the yards of
their ships and shouted "Vive PImpG-
ratrice !" Knowing that lie could not
school his men to repeat these words in
the brief time left to him, the American
admiral ordered his crew to cry, Beef
lemons and cheese :" The imperial
yacht came sweeping on, and as it reach
ed the fleet a mighty roar went up of
"Beef, lemons and cheese!" that entire
ly drowned the voices of the French
men. And the empress said that she
had never been SO complimented.-San

Nothing but Rheumatism kills people.
Nothing like Drummond's Lightning
Remedy for speedy relief and quick
cure. One trial will convince any one
that it is wonderful preparation. Ac-
cept nothing in its place, for nothing
else will do the work. 1t should be sold
