FEVER HEAL
"And we're not at all afraid of
our negroes," said my hostess, for
about the third time during one short
• evening. Why then should there
be such evident anxiety to insist on
this tact? I had not asked whether
the planters feared their slaves, or
even alluded to the possibility of
• such an unpleasant state of Itffairs ;
ind yet; ever since my 'sojourn in the
• State of Louisiana, little things kept
peeping out, to show that in connec-
tion with this domestic iustitutioa
• there existed the same sort of feeling
as one would experience in sleeping
in a villa half way up Vesuvius, or
occupyiug the post of - keeper .of a
• caravan full of uncomfortable snakes
or snarling beasts. People pay and
pay. to loolteat such things, and . the
keeper lines his pockets well, but he
never knows when it may enter into
the brain of one of his amiable pets
to pay him. And so with the do-
mestic institution. Wonderful crops
Of sum]: and rice ate got out of those
•.ricb, fat acres dr at border the Fat6r
of Waters. Year after year, by al-
' ternating the crops, riches ate reap-
ed, without recourse to manure pro-
• per or agricultural chenaistry. Uncle
Pornifs black back shines in the rays
of the almost perpendicular sun, as
• he steams away, ploughing and hoe-
• ing, between the tall green rows_ of
the sugar -cane, running far- above
• his head, and beneath and amongst
which scarcely breath.of air is stir-
ring; but $800 Pomp, with his stam-
• ina kept up by hOttliali and dried
• fish, almost returns his value to ii
owner year by year.; and the sine
by Aunt Dido, whose parti-colofed
'haredkerchief shelters her wooly head
from the torrid creams. Hoeing away
in gangs of Dittos, the luxuriant
weeds are kept down, riches pour in-
to the planters's lap, and his house
abounds with all the luxuries so
•much appreciated in a climate that
enervates, and seems a foe to all ac-
tive pursuits. But in the midst of
his Eden of fruit and flowers, luxu-
riant tropical vegeta.tion, hurl:ening
• birds—the fireflies of the day, and
the insect scintillation of the dark -
some night, with every luxury that
money can command to augment the
beauties of nature, the planter feels •
• that be may at any time be pierced
Try the thorn that is concealed amid
his flower% ; but for all this he takes
pains to let you know, through the
lady who presides over his house-
hold, that he is not at ell afraid of
his negroes.
As a traveller,. of course,, I am
bound to listen with the greatest po-
liteaess to all that I am. told, but at
the sa-me time I do lust feel that L
am bound to believe it. I happened
to have spent a week in New Or-
leans before ascendieg the Mississippi
and from what ',saw there, I came
to the conclusion that at all events

have been looked Upon as a favor, and
and no hospitality could have, been
more unbounded.. I had ridden by
the side of ray boat through acre

some Oriental prince from the atten-
dant slaves running by _my side to
brush away tire. insect nuisances of
the climate. I had been shown the
la.goons where those scaly abomina-
tions, the alligators, had their home
and where they thrashed the fish in
the shallows with their flail -like tails
until they became an easy prey. I but

WORTH TEN TIMES ITS:WEIGHT IN OODD. DO YOU
KNOW ANYTHING OF IT 2 IF NOT, IT IS
• TIME YOU DID.*
There are but few preparations of medieinai
which have withstood the impartial judgment of
the people for any great length of time. One of
these -is THOMAS) ELECTItIC OIL, purely a prepar-
ation of six. of some of the best oils that are known,
each ohe possessing virtuea of its own. Scientific
physicians know that medicines may be formed of
several ingredients in certain fixed proportions of
greater power, arid producing effects which could
never result from the use of any one of them, or in
different cambinations. Thua in the preparation
of this oil a chemical change takes piece, forming
a compound which could not by any possibility be
made from an other combination or proportions
of the same ingredients, or any other ingredients,
and entirely diffarent from anything ever before
made, one which produces the most astonishing re-
sults, and having a wider ranee of application
than any medicine ever before diecovered. ...It con-
tains no alcohol or other volatile liquids conse-
quently loses nothirg by evaporation. Wherever
applied you get the benefit of every drop; whereas
with other preparations nearly all the alcohol is
lost in that -way, and you get only the small quan-
tity of oils which they may eontain.
