" Death aguin visited one of our best
families last week," is the way the Bra-
shear News begins an obituary. Death
makes no family distinctions, even in
the Lafourche country.
The Shreveport Timet says there have
been three thousand bales of cotton com-
pressed and shipped by rail to the East
from that point within the past five days.
This is pretty fast work for the Shreve-
port presses if the figures are correct.
The American Grocer says that the de-
cline on Kio coffee is fully two cents in
gold since the Grocer exploded the short
crop theory. Still the coffee ring is not
discouraged, but auks Congress to put a
heavy tariff on coffee in order to add to
ita profits.
Neptcne, the new planet which has
enabled Professor Tice to frighten so
many old ladies, is not yet done with
mischief. The papers now tell that the
great astronomer of Paris, Leverrier,
who discovered the planet Neptune, has
made a prediction which is noteworthy.
It is that the winter of 1875-76 will be
uncommonly severe. Enormous quanti-
ties of snow are to fall in December and
January.
Railroad combination is again tri-
umphant at the North, and competition
and low rates have gone glimmering to
the classic groves where the woodbine
is supposed to twine. A general advance
of fifty per cent, on through freight
rates over the East and West truuk
lines of railway went into effect on the
15th instant, and a corresponding ad-
vance in rates was also made by the
roads running from Chicago to Missouri
river points.
Delaware still keeps up those ancient
institutions, the pillory and whipping-
post. Saturday before last was the regu-
lar day for the punishment of rogues at
Wilmington, and nine were put throagli
a course that most of ihem will remem-
ber. The culprits were all thieves, guilty
oi stealing articles varying in value from
horses to chickens. There were four
white and five colored men put to the
lash, receiving from twenty to thirty
strokes each.
TnE Temperance men of Massachu-
setts deny that they are discouraged by
the small vote cast by their party at the
late election. It was about 9000, and a
recent address from the Prohibitory State
Central Committee triumphantly an-
nounces that ODly 0000 more votes
would have " arrested the liquor policy
of the Republican party." The vote
thus thrown away would have elected
Uaston, and the anti-liquor men can
therefore take the credit of having elec-
ted the man most obnoxious to their
party for (Jovernor.
CHEAP and unostentatious funeira's
continue to take place in England. The
remains of Dr. Robert Dickson were in-
terred in the parish churchyard at Har-
mondsworth, a few days ago. Hatbands
and scarfs were entirely dispensed with,
tha object of the deceased gentleman's
family in haviDg the arrangements car-
ried out in this way being to set an ex
ample for the abolition of all display of
worldly sorrow and undertaker's pomp
on such occasions. On occasion of Mr.
DickBOu's death, about three months ago,
the ceremony was conducted in a similar
manner.
The S>. Louis Globe Democrat has
ceased to write up the whisky ring of
that city, and put its shoulder to the
wheel in propelling the movement for a
grand speculation in coffee. It is pretty
generally known that an attempt has
been made, by an extensive combination
to buy up the bulk of all the coffee from
Brazil, and hold it with a view to induce
Congress to re-establish a heavy duty on
the article, and thus enhance its value to
that extent in the hands of the monopo-
lists. The Globe-Democrat has the im-
pudence to tell its readers that the
imposition of the coffee duty dur-
ing the war was felt principally by
Brazil, and but lightly in this country.
The effects of the duty on this country
are thus lightly passed over by that
paper: " Our people experienced merely
the inconvenience of the slight additional
cost of five, and afterward three, cents a
pound." These duties were abolished in
1872, and now the Globe-Democrat tells
us that the effect has been to add the
difference of the duty to the profitB of
the Brazilians, without benefiting the co»-
sumerd of this country. The paper that
has cheek enough for such statements
and arguments as these need not fear to
say anything that suits its purpose.
The Legislature of Arkansas has ud
der consideration a memorial asking
Congress to donate the public lands re-
maining unsold to the State for the pur
pose of establishing a general system of
common schools. The memorial states
that the proceeds arising from the dis
position of said lands in this State,under
existing laws, but little more than defray
the expenses of the general land offices
maintained by the United States for that
purpose; that the circumstances sur-
rounding the State since the year 1861
have placed it in such an embarrassed
financial condition that a suitable system
of education can not be estab
liKhed and maintained without as-
sistance, and therefore asks that such
lauds be given to the State for
educational purposes ; the proceeds, when
s ild by said State, to be used only for the
establishment of a general system of
common schools for all classes of citi-
Z'ds, and thi establishment of a State
university. The Little Rock Gazette says
that nearly all the lands of good quality
have been dieposed of by the United
States, and that the remainder, under the
present system, is likely to continue the
property of the government for many
years to come. For about twenty-three
years,a large portion of these lands have
been reserved from sale entirely, and for
ten years they have been out of reach
otherwise than by homestead pre-emp-
tion. The Gazette expresses the opinion
that if the lands were granted to the
State and thrown open to purchasers at
private sale, they would be rapidly taken
up, become subject to taxation, add im
mensely to the State revenues,and afford
a magnificent educational fund.

Candidates for Speaker.
opinions of the press.
The three Democratic Congressmen
from Michigan say they are in favor of
Kerr for Speaker.
The Washington Capital says Sam
Randall has " pledged himself, if elected
Speaker, so to organize the committees
of the House of Representatives as to
prevent any expression of faith or opin-
ion upon any subject now before the
public."
With Mr. Sam Randall, or any Demo-
cratic statesman of his type, in the chair,
tb:B winter, it is a pretty safe prediction
that there won't be any great amount of
investigating to find out done. Randall
is a very tender-hearted gentleman. Be-
sides, he knows how it is himself.—
Springfield Republican.
I have to-day seen a letter which sat-
isfies me beyond a doubt that Sam Ran-
dall is trying to play into the hands of
the Sam Tilden crowd, taking advantage
of the New York Keening Post's recent
arraignment of Kerr as a man of green-
back antecedents. I am not permitted
to publish the contents of this letler, nor
any name connected with it, but am at
liberty to state that it affords evidence
that the New York Tribune's Philadel-
phia correspondent, in claiming Randall
as an original bullionist, was acting in
accordance with a programme which is
to shift the Sam Tilden, Tammany and
Wall street support from Kerr to Randall
as far as may be possible in the limited
time left for such combinations. In re-
gard to Mr. Kerr, on the other hand, I
have the authority of a member of Con-
gress, just arrived from ,the West, who
has recently conversed with him on the
subject, to say that Mr. Kerr's views on
the currency question are liberal, and
that he is in favor of subordinating that
matter in ihe next Congress to the policy
of investigating administrative abuses
and retrenchment of government ex-
penses. — Washington Dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
If the Democratic House elects the
Pennsylvania protectionist, Sam Randall,
as Speaker, it would giye a striking proof
of the hopelessness and uselessness of
the Democratic organization as a party of
opposition and reform. Randall is neither
sound on the tariff nor on the currency.
He is not a Democrat in the old or true
Bense of the word. Moreover, he is a so-
called salary-grabber, who would not fill
the examining committees soon to be ap-
pointed in a judicious manner. It was
bad enough that the Democratic mem-
bers of the House gave their votes two
jears ago for Mr. Wood. That vote
was, however, harmless, as it was merely
an empty compliment. But tue elec
tion of Randall would be a direct
surrender of the distinctive Democratic
principles on the part of the majority of
the House, and synonymous to a declara-
tion that the struggle that the Demo-
cratic party proposes to wage is to be
merely a struggle for spoil, but not a
struggle for the vindication of the Jtff jr-
sonian principles.
Among all the Western candidates
for the Speaker's office who have been
named, in our opinion Mr. Kerr, of In
diana, deserves the preference. He is
not only sound on the currency question,
which is saying a good deal for a repre-
sentative of Indiana, but he has also al-
ways been one of the ablest and most
consistent opponents of the tariff swin-
dle. The manner in which he, for in-
stance, several years ago, exposed the
corrupt lure of the so-called "free break-
fast-table" was really masterly.—Cin-
cinnati Volksb'.att.
The friends of Mr. Cox urge him for
speaker upon the ground of his congres-
sional experience and his eminent quali-
fications for the office. Having been
elected first to the Thirty-fifth Congress
in 1856, from the ColumbuB or capital
district of Ohio, with the exception of
one term, he has been continuously a
member of that body ever since, and
unless I am greatly mistaken, he is now
the oldest member in length of service in
the House of Representatives. During
this long period of political life he has
«r<>n distinction as an industrious legisla-
tor, a quick and read; and successful de-
bater, of which any one might be justly
proud And his record upon all the
questions which have agitated the coun-
try during these twenty even'ful and ex-
citing years, for purity and honor and
honesty, will compare well with that of
any other statesman of the republic, liv-
ing or dead, during its entire history.
No suspicion has ever attached to his
name. It has been bright {and clean
from his entrance upon public life until
the present moment. Mr. Cox is a splen-
did parliamentarian. He has studied the
rules of the House with great precision
and accuracy; he understands them
well.— Washington Correspondent St.
Louis Republican.
The civilized Indiana of the Nation
are getting tired of the facility with
which white men have heretofore been
galvanized into copper-colored deni-
zens of that sovereign commonwealth,
and uew forms have been imposed on
the marriage ceremony, under which
the white man becomes as good as an
Indian:
The new Choctaw marriage law re-
quires a white man, who designs mar-
rying a Choctaw citizen, to obtain a
license from a circuit clerk or judge,
or to make oath or other satisfactory
showing before them, that he has no
living wife, from whom he is not
legally divorced; and to present to the
clerk or judge a certificate of good,
moral character, signed by at least ten
respectable citizens, who shall have
been acquainted with him at least
twelve months immediately preceding
the signing of such certificate. It also
requires bim to take an oath to support
the constitution of the Choctaw Na-
tion.
It is further atipu'ated that a white
man or white woman, marrying in
compliance with this law, shall be citi-
zens of the Choctaw Nation, even after
being left a widow or widower, pro-
vided they do not marry a citizen of
the United States, in which event they
lose all their rights of citizenship.
The American Grocer is fighting for
cheap coffee, and among its remedies for
high prices adduces the following :
Chicory, as the only suitable coffee
substitute, has been used in Germany,
France and other European countries
since the commencement of the present
century, and lately in the United States.
It is acknowledged that, by adding from
ten to thirty per cent, of chicory to
strong and rank tasting coffees, and the
commoner grades of the latter, an im-
provement is effected.
A friend suggests that retail grocers
may effect a lowering in the prices of
coffee by selling a pound of good Oolong
tea at fifty cents per pound, as one pound
of tea will go as far as four pounds of
coffee.
So long as Galveston retailers offer
four and even five pounds of coffee for
one dollar, it is not likely that people
will ?eek substitutes.
TnE report of the Chief of Engineers
of the Army shows that the work now
in progress on our sea-coast defenses
consists exclusively in the construction
of massive earthen barbette batteries,
for guns of the heaviest calibre, which
batteries are either exterior and sup-
plementary to the older casemated
work, or are modifications and en-
largements of the barbette batteries of
modern times. These will furnish,
with a depressing gun carriage, the
greatest protection for the armament
and cannoneers that can be obtained
outside of iron casement constructions.
The size of these batteries, the weight
of their armaments, and the time re-
quired for their completion form the
reasons why these works must be pre-
pared in advance, and not upon the
advent of war. Among the accessories
for t lie defense of our harbors and chan-
nel-ways are torpedoes or sea-mincs
planted in such numbers as to bar en-
trance to enemies' vessels, and to bold
them under fire of the batteries. The
system which has been perfected is be-
lieved to possess every quality requi-
site for success when the torpedoes are
planted and Ifandled by men trained in
the details.
Gi.asoow, in Scotland, claims to
have the tallest chimney in the world.
The total height from foundation to
top of coping is 408 feet, and from
ground line to summit, 454 feet; out-
side diameter at foundation, 50 feet;
at ground surface. 32; and at top of
coping, nearly 18. The number of
bricks used in the erection was 1,400,-
000, equal in weight to 7000 tons.

Business in the shoe towns remains
very quiet, and with the exception of
a few brogan factories, there is only
partial employment for the workmen
who work in teams. Men who make
hand-made goods are busy, as this
branch of the business requires that
the workmen should have steady em-
ployment. Shippers are selling fairly,
and there is something doing for the
New England trade, although this
branch of the shoe trade is not very
brisk. Manufacturers of ladies shoes
have generally a good line of samples,
and some orders have been given for
staple goods, and as manufacturers
show no disposition to manufacture,
except on orders, we do not expect
that business will start up as early as
usual.—Boston Advertiser.
Cattle die of something besides the
"Texas fever" in some parts of the
North. Prof. James Law's report on
the cattle disease on the farm of Jas.
W. Wadsworth, near Avon, N. Y.,
shows that the herd consisting of 277
cattle, was brought from Canada. The
Professor shows that the cattle'sufTercd
from organic poison, having been
brought in a wretched condition to
the luxuriant grass bottoms of the
Genesee valley, under which was a
subsoil of impervious clay, and over
which the river flowed in the spring.-
There was no artificial drainage, and
the water escaped by evaporation only.
The contrast in temperature between
day and night also aggravated the dis-
ease. The report adds:
"The most universally acknowl-
edged causes of the malady in animals
are: Plethora, or a state of the blood
highly charged with organic elements;
an impervious soil or subsoil; a very
rich surface soil; inundations; a period
of heat and dryness calculated to
foster decomposition of organic mat-
ters to a great depth in the ground,
and a great contrast between the day
and night temperature, and in this
case all combined to produce one of
the most malignant types of the dis-
ease. It may be added that while this
affection is communicable to all ani-
mals by innoculation, it can scarcely be
said to spread in any other way, and it
is therefore to be looked uoon as es-
sentially an enzootic disease. We
must go to such places as the inunda-
ted margins and deltas of large rivers,
dried up lakes and marshes of the rich
and pestilential Russian steppes, to
find any approximation to the disas-
trous outbreaks in man and beast
which blacken the history of past
ages.
"One hundred of the best steers
were turned on a higher pasture with
a gravelly subsoil, two died, and the
rest made a prompt and permanent
recovery."
A circular has been issued by some
of the banks of Baltimore, New York,
Philadelphia and Wilmington urging
on the other banks to secure signa-
tures to a petition to be presented to
Congress, with a view to securing the
repeal of the law requiring the affixing
of a two-cent stamp on checks. The
circular says that the stamp has been
" a continual cause of annoyance and
misunderstandings ;" that it is objec-
tionable in the consequent "surveil-
lance over the private transactions of
depositors, and in the onerous and hu-
miliating costs liable to fall upon the
banking institutions, notwithstanding
all ordinary precautions on the part of
their officers;" that "the true interest
of our government and of our people
is that this tax should be promptly re-
pealed;" that "the time has come for
this action," and "that it only needs
a proper and persistent representation
of the case to the administration and
to Congress to remedy what may other-
wise yet linger for years to come." A
special agent has been selected by the
banks to bring the matter before Con-
gress as soon as a sufficient number of
signatures shall be obtained.
TnE report of the recruiting ser-
vice, by Adjutant-General Townsend,
states that a very careful system has
been observed in the conduct of the
recruiting service, under which the
chances are greatly reduced for desert-
ers at large to enlist again, by reject-
ing at the depot numbers of men who
have developed bad habits. Since en-
listment, a far better class of men has
been sent to the regiments. With an
army of 35,000, in the years 1867 and
18C8, the number of deserters reached
the enormous amount of over 10,000
in a year. During the year ending
June 30, 1875, the army of 25,000 men
lost only 2521 by desertion, as against
4000 for the year ending June 30, 1874.
The report recommends that authority
be given to enlist boys over twelve
years of age, to learn music, in order
to supply lield music to companies.
Tite St. Louis Trade Journal makes
the following remarks on notes payable
in merchandise: "Notes are not un-
frequently seen which contain a prom-
ise to pay a certain amount in whisky,
or pork, or wheat. Such instruments
are not negotiable paper, but may be
transferred by assignment. If they
are made payable on demand there
must be a demand previously made. In
this the rule differs from a promise to
pay money on demand where the de-
mand can be made by suit. If the
demand is made and is met by refusal,
a suit can be maintained and a money
judgment obtained. If, however, the
note is to be paid at a time certain, wc
think no demand will be necessary,
and the holder of the note in case of
refusal could refuse to receive the ar-
ticles and demand payment in money."
Switzerland contains at present no
less than five hundred hotels and
boarding-houses for strangers; of these
about fifty are.establishments of the
first class and are owned by joint-
stock companies. In 1874, 255,000
tourists visited Switzerland, of whom
05,000 crossed the St. Gothard Moun-
tain; about 28,000 crossed the Sim-
plon or Splugen, and 100,000 ascended
the Rigi, mainly by the railway. The
greater number -of tourists now visit
the Bernese Oberland.
The chief supervisor of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange reports that
gratifying success has attended the
efforts to reduce what is known as the
"city" crop, which has fallen from
34,508 bales last year to 11,062 bales
this year. Shipments to Europe show
that the percentage of loss in weight
has been much less this season than dur-
ing the last. -

State Press.
Misery loves company, and the San
Antonio Herald is consoled to find that
it is no longer, "in the language of
Senator Thomas H. Benton, solitary
and alone of all the press in Western
Texas, in battling against the wrongs
inflicted upon this oppressed section
of the State of Texas," but has aid
and comfort from the Victoria Advocate.
The Herald says:
Although our advocacy of a di-
vision of the State was not productive
of immediate results, we were conscious
that the seed was not sown on bar-
ren ground, our correspondence indi-
cating too forcibly that in good time,
it would sprout, grow and bear fruit,
aye, good fruit.
Dividing the State is a new way of
producing fruit.
The Guadalupe Times :
We see a great many papers are
pitching into the convention at a ter-
rible rate, and these papers profess to
be Democratic, deep dyed in the wool,
but still they seem to have neither pa-
tience nor mercy with a convention of
their own party. We don't pretend to
say that the new constitution should
be adopted because it is a creature of
the Democratic party; by no means.
We are not so much for party as we
are for good henest government, a
government that will deal out justice,
even-handed justice, to friend and foe.
We believe that the Democratic party
will come nearer doing this than any
other, and that's why we belong to it.
At the same time we know that it ii
not perfect; that it does a great many
things that are not essentially neces-
ry for its prosperity. * * *
Some of the papers who have been
down on the convention have made a
most beautiful flop and are at present
on the other side of the fence, and you
know this don't look well; but per-
haps they see some fat take in the
future.
The San Antonio Herald discusses
our commercial relations with Mexico,
and concludes by saying:
With peace, which let us hope, un-
der the administration of Lerdo, will
become assured and will give us the
realization of those better times which
we so long promised ourselves, when
the mineral productions can be multi-
plied tenfold, the agricultural capacity
of the country is enormous, and they
have the labor to utilize it. The
completion of the railroad system is
alone required to make the overland
commerce from the interior of Mexico
very large.
The San Antonio Express, a Repub-
lican paper, thus refers to a little
cloud that appears on the political
horizon:
If there ever was a time in the his-
tory of any country that carefulness in
political movements should be ob-
served, that period has now come to
the people of this country. There will
arise questions of politics, questions of
a religious nature, questions of social
and commercial import, so difficult of
solution as to require the utmost dis-
cretion to bear the ship of State safely
through a sea of portending calamities.
As has been intimated by a contempo-
rary, it is a day when the prayer of
every Catholic and Protestant in this
country should be, "God forbid that
any religious test should be set up in
the next Presidential campaign." Al-
ready have some of the national lead-
ers proposed to introduce question of
church into the coming Presidential
campaign, and if there is not an up-
rising throughout the country against
such an issue, there is no telling what
a condition of things may ensue.
We have hoped that this was a dan-
ger that would be avoided for the good
of all, but we must confess that the
sign 8 of the times seem to indicate a
bitter religious warfare. The men
who seek to arouse religiaus preju
dices in political matters in the United
States to-day, had better never been
born. Sectarian hatreds are the most
terrible of all, and our ruin, both so-
cially and politically will follow, so
soon as religious tests are brought be
fore the nation.
The Cuero Star says:
It is not in DeWitt county alone that
the civil authorities are overawed by
combinations too powerful to be over-
come ; it is not in her limits alone that
the citizens following their peaceful
avocations will not turn out in suffi-
cient numbers to assist the officers in
executing the process of the courts,
but the impotency of the executive
branch of our government is felt
throughout the State. We must not
be understood as blaming the Gover-
nor; he can not exercise any powers
which are not clearly granted by the
constitution and the laws made in ac
cordance with it. But we do say that
the Executive Department of our gov
ernment as it is constituted under ex-
isting laws lacks sufficient energy and
vigor. Whatever may be the good in-
tentions of the people; whatever may
be the healthful public spirit in sup-
port of the law; all are insufficient
and utterly inadequate to accomplish
the desired result, unless they are

Prompt Reinforcement.
Whan the physical energies are overtasked
or flag through weakness or disease, they
need prompt reinforcement. Renewed vigor
is most speedily supplied through the medi
um of a tonio stimulant, and among medici-
nal resources of that class, Hostotter's Sto-
mach Bitters assuredly deserve a pre-emi-
nent place. Waakness, whether constitution-
al or arising from disease or over-fatigue, can
not be better compensated for than Dy a re-
sort to this prime strengthening cordiai. The
enfeebled invalid, tbe convalescent and the
aged and infirm, find that it is an unfailing
source of vigor and comfort. Its combined
tonio and alterative propertiec also constitute
it an invaluable remedy for indigestion, weak-
ness of the organs of urination, constipation,
torpidity of the liver, and many other irregu
larities and disabilities, and render it an in
valuable protection against malaria, as well
as disorders of the stomach and bowels.
