Alleged Cure for Charbcp.

A correspondent of an exchange,
writing on the matter of eharbon,
says: 1.-THE treatment that / have
found infalllble is simply to cut
through the hide not into the tissues,
but making a long. incision, and pack
the opening thus. made with common
fine salt. Use the finger to push the
salt as far under. the hide as possible.
Emulation of a yellowish fluid will
rapidly follow the first flow of blood.
Keep the wound open, that supra
stioR may not be arrested. Should
there be a number of sweilings. as
often occurs, cut them all without
hesitation s.and again in the event of
the wound closing. have had oe-
casion to apply this treatment almost

How to Build Good Roads.

General Leon Jastremski and Prof.
w. C. Stubbs when here some weeks
ago called attention to the question
of good public roads and extended
a pressing and cordial invitation
to the Police Jury of the parish to
send "a delegate to the meeting at
Calhoun, La, on September 21st.
The Police Jury is reminded that
the last constitution places the con-
struction and maintenance of the
roads of the parish in their hands and
gives them certain powers of raising
revenues therefor. Road making and
repairing, heretofore, IN Louisiana,
has been too often performed in a
careless, thoughtless and expensive
manner, resulting frequently in exe-
cradle and often impossible highways.
Roads, when properly constructed,
are cheaply maintained. They should
be constructed upon the latest scien-
tific principles and with the most i'm
proved implements.
To furnish an obiect-lessen in road
making, the North Louisiana Expert
faent Station at Calhoun has secured
1.-THE services of E. G.. Harrison, a
Road Expert from the United States
Department of Agriculture, who will
construct early in September a Model
Road out of the public highway which
runs through the grounds of the Sta
tion, with the most improved imple-
ments and upon the most advanced
principles.
The North Louisiana Agricultural
Association will hold its seventh an
nual agricultural camp meeting and
fair on the goth, 21st and 22Hd of
September, 1899. Thursday the 2lst
of September will be devoted to
aGood Roads, E. G.. Harrison,
the Road Expert, will deliver an in
structive address upon practical
aRoad Making ia the forenoon. and
at 2 P. NJ. will, in the presehce OF
the visitors, give practical object
lesson by construe ting the portion OF
the above mentioned road, which vii
be left incomplete for this illustration.

Echoes from the Other Side.

The Rayville meeting and the ef-
forts of the Jacksonian Democrats to
purify politics and get a political pull
at the perslmmons continue to afford
subjects for discussion these hot days.
We give the following from the St.
Landry Clarion:
"The meeting was peculiar in several
respects. Foremost among'which was
the fact that, while it was avoWedly an
anti-administration meeting, not a sim
Gle charge was brought against the
administrators to it's management OF
the ship of State. Boatner said that
the whole outfit was a lot Of ballot-box
suffers and election thieves, forgetting
the fact that BIZ 4himself has been the
chief BENEFICIARY of election frauds for
! these many years, and that the only
votes he did not steal in perpetuating
himself in Congress from the Fifth Dis
trict were those he gave his opponent
to lend sembFanee of respectfully to
the election.
The other speaker of note was Sena-
tor Don Caffery, who has abontaS much
right as Tom Reed to address a Demo
cratic meeting. Not only does he stand
in the light of a bolter before the peo-
pie who bonored him, but he is plainly
/ exhibiting base ingratitude to the Chief
Executive of this State, who made Don
iGaffery what heis to-day.
1t is not much warmer than this
roast which is certainly from one not
friendly ito Governor Foster, the tai
ented editor of Facts and Fun:
The Rayville meeting, largely adver-
tised as the assembling which was to
set in motion the forces which would
ove1whelm Foster and Fosterism, is
now history, but such history as rec
ords, in my humble judgment, another
of those abortiye efforts to overthrow a
political dynasty iii Louisiana, which
has become ihtolerable to the mass oil
its honest citizens.
Judge Blackman, Of Rapides; Lieut..
fGovernor Snyder. of Tensas; Captain
Wise, of .Caddo; Judge Ransdall, Of
Concordia, and others of great moment
were expected, but pressing business,
of a private and imperious nature
forced these great guns, "much to their
deep regret" to forego the pleasure Of
meeting their fellow citizens on the
august occasion. These gentlemen had
mot only much to gain by lending theil
voices and talents to the effort to.oyer-
, throw Imperialism in Louisiana, but
they had nach to lose and thereby
hangs a tale. | suspicion that theiI
absence was! from deep design rather
than the "cahs of business" for hav-
ing much to lose, both of preferment
E now enjoyed and the hopes of more te
come 10 onslaughting Fosterism, they
preferred that tothers, with less al
t stake, should skill the cat"
: Caffery and Roatner are evidently
fit, on this hypothesis, for opening
guns" n this or any sortof political out,
/ break. They are bankrupt politicians
, misunderstanding or baggage, and the
l world is all before them town fame

Somewhat Sadly Mixed.

The New York Journal Of last Sum

Philadelphia. She is dying, slowly,
lingeringly, mind and body alike.
One side is p~aralyzed. She takes no
note of the present. She knows no
future. Her thoughts are always
with the past, Sometimes she croons
a Partisan air. Sometimes she laughs
at the sally of a dead or forgotten
wit. Most of the time she signs be-
cause she suffers. She is not an old
woman. She is only just past fifty.
But she is very miserable. To her
Philadelphia neighbors she is known
as Mrs. Robert Livingston Reade.

ago she will be remembered as ssthe

timately. She was q Crescent City
girl. Her father, Mansfield Warren,
II first met in California in the early
tifties. whittier he had been attracted
by the gold fever. He was a sickly,
consumptiye-looking fellow, he did
not pan out well 'as a digger at the
mines, SO he went to editing a news
paper at Stockton. No sooner had
he startedvup than the other editor
went for him. In those days per-
sonal journalism was the thing, and
the narrative details how Warren
killed his man in a street fight, was
found guilty and senteEced to hang
and finally a pardoned. 1t closes
by saying: 81 lost track OF Warren

During the first few days she was so

her as often as she could bear it. In
less than q week she could walk two
