HURRAH FOR WATKINS.
IS GREETED BY Al LARGE AND tNTHOS-

On Thursday night our large criminal

crowded in anticipation of hearing our
next Congressman, Judge J.T. Watkins.

cal issucs which are interesting the
people.
Through an error the hand bills fixed
the hour at 80 o'clock. and at that
time the writer found 4 vast concOurSc
Of people congrogatcd in and around
our beautiful temple Of justice, eagerly
waiting for the appearance OF the dis
tinguished speaker.
Then it dawncd upon the multitude
that seats might be at Il premium, and
without waiting for him to appear the
crowd hustled upstairs and secured the
coveted resting places.
At s O'Clock Col. II. II. Lindsay called
the meeting to order and nominated
Hon. j. Henry Shepherd for chairman.
AS Mr. Shepherd stepped forward he
was greeted with applause.
He asked the indulgence of the audi
ence for a short while, for the appear
ance of ladies and citizens OF Webste,
parish who had come over in spocla
car to be present al the speaking. Their
cries for Shepherd were raised and he
responded by giving them Il good
straightout Democratic talk.
When Judge Watkins was introduced
to the audience there was such an Ova
ton as we have not seen in Ions
time. The outburst of applause seemed
to be spontaneous, as if with one impuls,
the entire audience was giving acclaim
to the triumphal march of a conqueror
For some time it was impossible fol
the Judge to speak, owing to this con
tinued outburst of enthusiasm.

Then when silence was restored, thu
worthy exponent of true Democracy be
gan his address and the audience sool
knew that before them stood a ma,

practical truthful and true. NOthins

opponent fell from his lips. TO thu
contrary, he declared that he absolutcl,
forbidden anything of the kind from
his friends and had himself total,
abstained from it. He paid his respect
to Fairplay, the anonymous CORES
pendent of the Caucasian, gave hi
opinion of those writer's who feared Il
rend their names, and declared tn
charges to be absolutely false.
Judge Watkins declared in favor O
the free coinage of silver at the rati
of Is to l, championed tariff reform

option bill and all of the reform meas
ures advanced by reform Democrats

Mans Inhumanity to Himself.

The most inhuman outrages, outrages which
would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates
upon his own system by swallowing drastic
purgatives which convulse his stomach, agon'
ize his intestines and weaken his system. Many
people constantly do this under the impression
that medicaments only which are violent in
their action, and particularly cathartics, are
of any avail. Irreparable injury to health il
wrought under this mistaken idea. The laxa
tive which most nearly approaches the beneti'
cent action of nature is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is painless but thorough, and in
vigorates the intestinal canal instead of weak
ening and irritating it. The liver and the
stomach share in the benign discipline insti
tuted by this comprehensive medicine, whose
healthful influence is felt throughout the sys
tenn. Malarious, rheumatic, kidney and ner-
vous complaint succumb to il.

And death was behind him. though
they did not STE him nor think much OF

This boys mother has always 1c-I
disturbed by an extraordinary anxiety
and restlessnes at the approach Of d atE
to any of her relatives. 1t has happen
ed several times that she has been pur.
sued. as it seemed. through the house.
from garnet TO cellar and through all
the rooms. by on incOrporeal something
which she tried to escape. No one
enI1ll stpn har or H17tIt har for a lapn
time. A day or two after the mystor-
ious fourth call at the neighbours door,
this mother, who had heard nothing
about that incident, was seized with
this intangible fear and began her per-
picked wand, rings through the house.
In and ont, up and down, she walked.
with "A frightened air, trying to escape
WHAT She did not know, but they
agreed that death was pursuing some
member of the family.
One day not long after, the boy who
was the fourth caller and whose mother
had had this p~remonition was sick.
Not very, but a little. His father was
sent for in the city to come home. He
was detained and walked home in the
early evening. A strange cat followed
him home, crossing his track and wind
ing its way in and out of his along the
road. AT home was another strange cat
which had followed a sister home.
They were stopped at the door and soon
were Joined by two more. The four
stood there on guard all night and all
next day with a dreadful patience and
persistence. craving admittance with
signs of horrid appetite, lodging into
the house whenever the door was open
ed, and kept at a distance only by great
difficulty. They might have been
stoned or shot, but that is not the way
the old superstition reads. The boy in
side grew worse and died the next day.
This is not a very remarkable story.
bu. it made a good deal of an impres.
ion on the contributor as IT was told To
him by a member of the family who
knew that those things had happened in
just this way, that they were old super
stitions which still live. and who asked
him if he believed there was anything
