WATER AND FAT.

In a recent lecture at Newcastle, Sir
| Charles A. Cameron, speaking of the
| large amount of water contained in the
| human tissues, Illustrated the fact thus:
-"Some of them might have seen the
big Guardsmen mounted on horses at
Whitehall, in London. They had big
| boots which came considerably above
their knees. If a Guardsman like that
| were dried at a temperature of PIP deg,
he would exactly fit into those boots,
SO great was the quantity of water con-
| tanned in his body Speaking of the
| value of fat he said he would enjoin
upon all of them to use fatty foods when
ever they could possibly do so, when
| their stomachs would tolerate that kind
of food. The beauty of woman depended
| largely upon the layer of fat lying be-
meath her skin. The roundness and
beautiful curves which they admired so
much were altogether due to fat Some
people were afraid of getting too fat.
No doubt fat when it became too album
dant, became a kind of disease But a
moderate amount of fat was a very good
thing. And then, as we got on in life
and lost our youth, Nature beneficially
assigned, especially to the fairer pro-
portion of creation, additional layers of
fat. The comeliness of middle, and even
old age, which, it seemed to him, distin-
guished especially the ladies of our coun-
try, to great extent compensated for
the passing of youth, and he believed
himself that the lady of 40 was hand
somer than the lady of 20. That come
illness was altogether due to the layer of
fat, which gave softness to the COM
plexion.

by an Unknown Person.
Notice was received at police head
quarters yesterday afternoon that an
attempt had been made to burglarize
the house of T. R. Keyworth of Theo.
H. Davies & Co., situated on Hackfeld
street.
When Mrs. Keyworth was on her
way down town in the forenoon she
spied a man appearing to be doing
some work in the vacant lot opposite
her home. She did not notice him
particularly, as there was nothing sus-
picious about the mere fact of his be-
ing there.
After she had been gone but a short
time, a man was seen by the japanese
woman and two children on the prem

times, gaze in at the windows and then

The Japanese woman kept her eye
on the mans movements, and soon
saw him rummaging drawers and
shelves in the rooms. She made & noise
and the thief, whom the woman states
was native, ran out of the house,
jumped the back fence and scampered
off as if he were being pursued.
Upon comparing notes with the wo
man, Mrs. Keyworth found that the

The play is described as being free

through it's scenes, acting very much
as real men and women do in actual

those virtues, which, after all, is said
and done, are matters of everyday
record.

We have received the following letter
from Hon. B. F. Jonas, of New Orleans:

to the fusion movement in 1872, you used the
following languages: I'm that effort, which was
crowned with success McEnery and Warmoth.

side.r
Whatever the merits Of that fusion might have
been, it had never my approval, and its success
was at lerst equivocal. but l have no desire to
discuss these questions now.
desire simply to state that ] never stumped
the State with Warmoth or Sheridan or any
other Republican, either at that or any other
time in my political life.
After the fusion only addressed Democratic
meetings.
You are also in error in stating that d. B. Penn
was lifelong Republican. He has always been
Democrat.
Please make proper correction and oblige.
Yours truly. B. F. JONAS.
We cheerfully make the correction re-
quested. Senator Jonas made speeches
in the fusion campaign but not with the
other speakers. We have always had
the highest esteem for him as pure pa
triot and as a noble exponent of true De-
mocracy. But while he may not have
approved the fusion OF 1872, it is certain
that the great mass Of the people Of this
State did approve it.

Some Campaign Gall.

For pure gall and outrageous exagger-
alton the report sent to the New Orleans
Item of the Populist barbecue and mass
meeting at Colfax last Saturday, takes
the cake. The statement made in that
paper is that Bailey, Breda, ct al, spoke
to "a crowd of more than 1900 persons,
1000 of whom were white men from
Grant parish and Winn." There were
less than 700 persons in Colfax on last
Saturday, fully 100 of whom did not at
tend the barbecue and speaking. Six
hundred will more than cover the crowd
who heard the speaking, and of this
number fully $50 were colored, while OF
the remaining number at least 80 or GO
were Democrats, present out of pure curl
osity to hear the speakers. Considering
the fact that 40 or 80 of the leading Pops
were present from Natchitoches, VIM,
Rapides and other places, the crowd was
slim affair, and, taken altogether, after
all the advertising and drumming that
was done to have grand rally of the
faithful, it was really and truly a
"mizzle" The untruthful statement in
the Item that there were only eighteen
men in the Democratic nominating con-
vention is hardly worth correcting, as
everybody knows there were ten times
that many present.
