G. Sprott. His barn and outhouses were completely wreck ed. Several tenant houses on Aug. W. Smith's place were completely wreced. A wagon body was blown from Captain Sprott's lot and was driven through the gable ol W. A. Calvert's house, fully a hundred yards from the path of the cyclone. Mrs. Gassard's house, between Sprott's and Calvert's, was also damaged. About two miles from town the cyclone struck P. A. Roche's and blew down all the tenant bouses on his place and his stove room and barn. He had two mules killed and two more badly injured. Many small Negro cabios were carried away on the road from Abbeville to Long. Cane church What damage was done beyond Mr. Ruches's we have been unable to learn. Sayings by Josb Billings.

It was still dark on the morn ing of April ll, 1803, When Mar. bois was summoned to attend the Emperor, who showed him the latest despatches of that wonder ful secret service which laid before its master the social, political, naval and military Becrets of all Europe. The English news was ominous and disquieting. Heavy drafts for home and foreign mili tary and naval service ; intense in naval bureau, dockyard and fleet; and worse than all, the rising of a new star in Errand's councils, the menacing leader ship of a statesman who could bu a patriot, and a diplomatist, who was a man. Napoleon had decided. "Irenounce Louisiana," he said. "It is not only New Orleans I will cede, it is the whole colony, without any reservation. I know the value of what I abandon," and here the oalm assured voice broke ? little, as he recapitulated the discoveries and perils, the hardships and heavy expenditures of blood and treasure which France had lavished in the New World, in vain. "The price of all these things is due io us and must be paid. Still, I will be moderate, in consideration of the necessity which compels . me to make the sale. But keep this to yourself. I want fifty millions of i francB," he continued; "and for| less than that sum I will not treat.!

These germs are very email but their ivork is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health; but a? soon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. The experimets of Koch and others have shed much light?upou this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have met with much better success than thei . destruction. As we can do so little to destroy these minute enemies, is not the most sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel and resipt their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem vfry fitting that the revitalizing element should enter the body through inhalion of oxgen which is at nnce a revitalizer and germicide? The experience of years, and the testimony of thousands show Compound Oxygeu to be the agent needed. If you wish further information write us and we will send you, free Df charge abundant evidence.
