That card would be neither attrac-
tive nor inspire confidence in a perma-
nent or field hospital. Probably DR..
Huidekooer knows all about the all
ments of fast and fancy horses, of pedi-
greed dogs and long-tailed cats,
but his card does not indicate that he
knows anything about the ills to which
human flesh is heir. If a man is lame
you can't nerve" him as you can a
horse; if he has been shot in the Shout
der or ''sweeneyed," and the shoulder
begins to shrink, you can't put a
..'rowl"' in or a dime under the skin.
And if soldier is suffering from cold
you can't smoke him; in fact, men
cannot be doctored after the fashion of
horse doctors.
And how did this New York horse
doctor get so prominent a place in the
medical CORPS as he did? He had a
pull, and he used it. His social con-
nections in Washington are of the
highest, it is said: he is a relative of
a New York and Boston tanker, while
he is wealthy himself. With such cor
nections and qualifications does any
one think that the mammon-w orshiping
Alger could resist giving him 1.-The best
in the shop?" Not much.

ONE OF ALeER's SURGEONS.

The medical department of the army
has come in for quite as much censure
and criticism as has the commissary
department. People naturally expect
that doctors will cut and slash, meta
Dhorically, at each other whenever a
good opportunity offers; and the people
have never been disappointed when the
opportunity did offer. The war was
hound to offer opportunities in abund-
ance. The "estrangepent'' between
DR.. Sem and Surgeon General Stern
berg is the most famous case so far,
and the prominence of this case dwarfs
others.
a case that promises to become quite
as prominent in its way has come to
light. It is that of DR.. r. S. Huide-
koper, chief of the medical staff of the
First army CORDS. His case becomes
notorious because OF the fact that he
is by profession a veterinary surgeon,
his professional card reading as fol-
lows:

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.

.tSome Famous Naval Battles" ap-
propriately opens the July number OF
Frank Leslie's popular monthly. The
article contains a graphic description
of the battles Of Trafalgar, Mobile Bay
Albemarle Sound, Lake Erie and Yalu
River. There are many excellent IL
Illustrations, including a number of full
page naval battle scenes, among them
De wey's great victory at Manila. An
other timely article of great interest IS
Life in MANILA in which Charles b.
Howard gives a full description OF that
Philippine Island city. Among more
than a dozen Illustrations is a good
map of the famous islands. The near
approach of the Fourth of July lends
interest to the article on "The Making
of Fireworks by Henry J.. Pain, who
can certainly be considered a good au-
thority on that subject. The illastra-
tions show various stages of the pro-
cess of manufacturing fireworks. The
ninth paper in this Magazines valu-
able series of articles or Andrew Jack
son treats of the generals wife. Sew
eral old and rare portraits and other
illustrations accompany this paper.
San Antonio, the "Alamo,n City OF
Texas, is we'll described and pictured
by Charles Thomas Logan. There are
a number of good short stories, and a
particularly interesting department for
the young people.

EDITOR MERIDIoNAL.
Of late Perry is the quietest place in
the parish.
Miss Lee Goech is in Morgan City on
a visit to friends.
Aubrey Nugier will ship a carload of
fine calves Tuesday OF next week.
As we see nothing in your columns
from Perry we will write a line hoping
it will not find its way to the waste
basket.
We understand there will be a call
meeting by Mr.. Lee of the State Agri-
cultural Association soon, We hope
there will be some remedy found for
the destruction of the chinch bug.
On R. j. MeCann's farp as well as
some Of the S~tansbury and Gooch
places east of bayou Vermilion, chinch
bugs are so thick that if something
isn't done to stop them the crops on
these places mentioned will certainly
be consumed before gathering time.
w. D. Gooch is going out with Capt
B. r. Root to take the Lee family to
the Chenier on the 4th ofJuly at which
time Buddy Lee will follow suit and
bring back one of Mr.. Broussard's
daughters. The big schooner Nor
manda will be used for this grand we'd
ding trip. They expect to devour
some of the bullocks and wine.
/. We are glad to see your paper take
an interest in the voters of the parish
I think as you do that every white man
should come forward and register. 7
think we should all join in explaining
to the white man that can't or don't
read the Importance of registering that
they may be able when an election
comes to exercise the rights of an
American citizen.
We feel proud of our Police Jury for
the stand made by them in the inter-
est of good roads and the slice of priv
ilege taken from the justice Of the
peace and constables. Now if the
petty ~convicts are compelled to work
out their fines on public roads in the
ward in which the crime was commit
ted we will acknowledge that we have
got some legislation that looks like re-
form.

The quips and bubbles that enter so
largely in the every day routine of the
legal professions are nicely Illustrated
in the view taken by the Supreme
Court in the case of Telesmar Marceaux
His lawyers had reserved a number of
bills of exceptions to the rulings Of the
court during the trial of the case and
had argued them at length and ably,
but the Supreme Court set them all
aside, save the last one, which object
ed to the unfavorable comment OF the
district attorney in his argument to
the jury, upon the fact that Marceaux
had failed to testify in his own behalf.
This the Supreme Court declared was
illegal and unfair and for that reason
the verdict of the jury is set aside and
the case remanded for trial.
