In Westmoreland County several work
men unearthed the petricd body of a
man. From the abdomen upwards all
was in a perfect state of preservation,
excepting portion of the face, the right
sides of which was filled with innumer-
able small holes apparently made by some
insect, and representing honey comb
appearance. Merely the outlets of the
lower part Of the body were discernible
and fell to pieces as soon as exposed to
the air. At the right side of the body
were found several arrows, stone knives
and various other implements of un-
known use, including an oval shaped
stone, about three feet in circumference
and few inches in thickness, and cover
ed with several hieroglyphics. Under
the left arm was found the skull of some
enormous bird of the crane species.

AS the eccentricities Of genius are over

excellent gentleman Of San Francisco,
whose costume owns two beautiful and
peculiar features. These are very
gorgeous neck tie several yards long,
whose ends float behind him like the

ling an infant BARRIERS pole, aud project,
ing from his mouth. Wherever he goes
he is accompanied by these charms, aud

If it were not for the neck tie, we should
suppose him to be simply possessed by a
deadly animosity toward the youth Of his

To the People of Jackson County:


You are called upon to investigate the
political questions at this time in order
that you may decide the issues existing
between the different parties asking your
suffrage at the coming election. 1t is
well and proper that each candidate
should make known his views upon the
various questions that will most likely
arise for legislative consideration. To do
this it is necessary to enquire what are
the issues between the different parties.
l answer that the most important issue
is, Shall the people rule, or be ruled
Shall capital and the moneyed interests
of the country dictate and control legis-
lation, so as to favor and foster railroad
rings, banking institutions, spectators
and gamblers of every description, by
which fraud and corruption is propogated
at the expense of the honest yeomanry
of the country.


1t will not be denied that the party in
power favors a system of government cal
culated to bring. about magnificent rail
road enterprises, with magnificent land
grants and subsidies in lands, by which
millions of dollars by the way of Mobilier
speculations and other schemes are stolen
from the people. Recognize the right OF
legislative bodies to foster class interests,
in the doing of which it is perfectly easy
to put millions of dollars in the pockets
of favored class, and it is not strange
that that class will acquire the art of
placing money where it will do the most
good. We have recently seen the effect
of this system of legislation, and men OF
all classes, Republicans and Democrats
have fallen victims to the temptations set
before them 1t is not because the indi
vidual members of the Republican party
are more dishonest than the members oil
any other party that fraud and corrup
ton exists, but it is because the party is
committed to u line of policy which ever
has and must continue while human ma
ture remains what it is to produce just
such shameful corruptions and frauds

Louisiana is favored the present year
with fair sugar crop, fair as TO quanti-
ty and more than fir as to quality
From all the sugar parishes we have
pretty much the same report, and that
grinding has commenced. Within the
past few days planters have appeared in
the market desiring to contract for the
sale of their crops, and we hear of one
instance on the upper coast, of D planter
who contracted TO sell his entire crop,
which, when ready, viii take the direc-
tion OF Cairo and the railroad lead
ing thence to Vincennes. This seems
TO be in accordance with the suggestion
made recently in the Times that The
present is the favorable opportunity Of
the sugar buyers OF the north and west.
Three things conspire in their favor
just al this time, the low price of sugar,
the low rates of freight TO Cairo, and
the high price of exchange in New
York. From all accounts there is plen-
ty Of exchange in all the states of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and other
states to the north and west of those
named, but here in New Orleans ex-
change commands from four to five per
cent. premium. The merchants of the
west ordinarily buy their sugar in Jaau-
airy and February, but the facts mem
toned above certainly offer them very
great inducements to enter The market
now and contract for their sugar stocks,
bringing their par exchange and realiz-
ing The handsome premium which il
will here command. r. Nesn Orleans

| New Orleans has materially gained in


more rapid communication with the outer
world since the New Orleans and Mobile


railroad has been in operation. The aim Of
| its management has been to accommodate
| through as well as local travel. BY their
| combinations and connections both the
| Jackson and Mobile routes have shortened


up the time between New Orleans and New
York to about seventy hours. The jackson
road keeps on an accommodation train for
the local travel, and it would be wise for
the Mobile road to do likewise, since the
latter has changed its schedule.


Tue train that has heretofore arrived
here at 2:225 p. NJ. is now due at 3:55, an
hour and half later, while the train here
tofore due at 1850 p. NJ. does not arrive
till four o'clock in the morning. This train
will not Accommodate local travel. for few
on the road are disposed to so to depot at


midnight to take the train for so short a
distance as New Orleans. The through
travel will, however, realize an advantage
from this change Of schedule, since imme-
diate connections are made with trains that
bring passengers from long distances, who
terminate their journey On arriving at Now
Orleans.


Liberal arrangements for the local travel
will materially increase it, and low fares
aud frequent trains will populate the
watering places between New Orleans and
Ocean Springs with inhabitants who do
business in or often visit New Orleans.


The departure of trains at eight o'clock
in the morning is satisfactory to local trav
elers. A train to leave here at four o'clock
in the afternoon, and return from Ocean
Springs in season to arrive in New Orleans
ab out ten o'clock in the morning, would,
from the present time till the close of the
watering place season, be well patronized,
and accommodate large proportion of the
local travellers, even if the SIS P. M. train
out was to be made an express train with
stops only for wood and water.


Superintendent Scranton seems disposed
to extend every reasonable accommodation
to the patrons of the road, and if he will
take this matter into consideration, and
put on an accommodation train, TO run as
suggested he will merit the thanks of that
portion of the community who sigh for the
lake shore retreats. He will find that there
will be money in it.

The Chicago Times publishes
this morning a long and cir
cumstantlal statement of an
extraordinary experiment al
legged to have been made by
an ex.surgeon of the Prusslan
army, named Louis Schultz,
now residing in ihis city, by
which he has demonstrated
the ability not only of his dog,
but OF his infant son, to live
and move under water with as
little apparent inconvenience
as is experienced by amphibia.


The writer asserts that he
has himself seen the boy, now
scarcely six months old, enter
a large bath tub fitted up es-
peciaIly for the purpose, and
diving TO the bottom, remain
there for several minutes, pick
ing up bits OF candy thrown
into the water by the father.


The dog appears, from the
account given, to be scarcely
the equal of the child in his
amphibious requirements, not
wiihstanding the fact that
Schultz, With commendable
consideration, began his expe-
riments with the canine. This
however, may have been due
to The accidental priority OF
the birth of The latter. The
mother Of the boy, 1t is stated
is not at all pleased with the
experiment upon her offspring,
and expressed desire that the
authorities should put stop to
it.

you buy at the stores under the
name of lambs wool, that you
can read a paper through, bnt
the kind that your Aunt Jeru-
sha IN he country knlts for
you, thick as a board, that will

in spite of wind and weather.

thorough, change them every
morning, hanging the fresh
ones by The fire during the
night.


Sd procure thick calf. skin
boots, double uppers and triple
soles, and wear them from the
first OF October till The first of
May Make frequent applica
tions of some go,d oil black
ing.


4lh. Avoid rubbers altogeth-
er, except pair Of large rub
ber boots, which may be worn
for a little time through snow
drifts or fl,od of water.


9Th. Hold the bottoms of
your feet in cold water half an
inch deep, just before going to
bed, two nr three minutes. and
then rub them hard with rongh
towels and your naked han ls.


9th. Now, madame, go ont
frequently in all weathers, and
believe me, not only will your
feet ENJOY good circulation,
but as a consequence of the
good circulation in the lower
extremities, your head will be
relieved OF all its fullness and
your heart of its .palpitations.
Your complexion will be great
