We cannot too persistently impress upon
our readers the Importance, nay, the abso-
Lutte necessity of a thorough orgaeization
and continuous effort during the political
campaign on which we have entered.
Louisiana is behind her sister States in
this respect. We account for it partly by
the absence from the State or death of our
old and trained political leaders and the
failure to take their places of those who
kshould succeed them. Our young men
&hould remember that upon them now rest
be duty Of bearing upon their shoulders the
| interests of the commonwealth. The labors
d Ahis campaign and all future political con-
ten Amfkt be performed by them or not at
all.V our old leaders have retired from
the of action, or are incompetent to
engl such labors. We fear the genera

SAVAGE murder hr indians.

A dispatch from Fort Buford, Dakotah,
has the following: As the mail will leave
here to-day, send few additional items
of news. The indians murdered negro
and white man, while after hay, ON the
25th, IN the following manner, Il seems
negro, by the name Of Slim Jim, once q
servant to Lieut.. j. NJ. Norral, working
for the traders, started early for the hay
field, about ton miles from the fort, accom-
panied by man by the name of Roach. -
They not making their appearancea at night,
party was sent out after them, when, to
their horror, they found the poor fellows
weltering in their blood, twenty arrows put
in their bodies, and the whole top of their
heads gone, they having been beat in hor-
rible manner and scalped. One was found
two feet from his wagon, and the other
about fifty yards from his. The whole
cause assigned was that the negro beat an
Indian some time ago, and he, with party,
took this revenge. They did not intend to
kill the white man, Roach, but il is pre-
sumed they feared he would tell who killed
the negro. The Indians who committed
this crime are Reeves, and have left for
parts unknown. This is frequent occur
renee up in these parts
Another tragedy occurred couple of
days ago. A man named Charles Stone,
member of Company B, while confined in
the guardhouse for desertion, committed
suicide by cutting his throat with knife,
severing jugular vein. The cause as
signed is, long confinement, and q prospect
of receiving by the next mail o hard SEN
tence, together with rough treatment and
not sufficient food to eat, he being of
corpulent form and constitution. He was
very quiet and worthy man, but ill-usage
made him attempt to desert.

Extraordinary Success Of q Chinese Doc
tor I'm Treating Yellow Fever.

Lima, Peru MAY 22) Cor. New York Tribune.l
Considerable attention has, during the
past few days, been attracted to the extra
ordinary success of Chinese doctor in his
treatment of the yellow fever. He has not
lost single one of the patients that he
took in charge during the first or second
stage of the disease Q, and very few with the
black vomit. Numbers of persons that
were given up by the regular practitioners
Of Lima, have, as last hope, called in the
Celestial, and he has saved them. His sue
cess very naturally called down upon him
united demand from the members of the
faculty for his arrest as charlatan and
mountebank. They could not bear to see
him succeed where they had failed. Ac-
cording to Peruvian law, person can not
practice medicine in the Republic without
having previously passed an examination
before the Medical Board in Lima, and re-
ceived its diploma, they recognizing no di-
plomas that are issued by any foreign med
ical college, a Peruvian diploma being a
sine qua non for all medical men here. As
soon as the Chinese doctor heard what was
going on, he left Lima and went on board
Of q ship in Callao Bay; but the public
made such clamor for his return, that the
government have been compelled to con-
cede the right to him to practice, and guar
anteed him against any legal proceedings
upon the part of the Medical Board The
Chinamsn has consequently returned to
Lima, and is reaping rich harvest. At all
hours Of the day, four OF five coaches can
be seen, standing waiting at his door, to
convey him to the houses Of those demand
ing his assistance.

Crime
ATTEMPT AIT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Book-keeper, with $4,000 In his
POsaession, Attacked At MONDAY.
urrom the New York SUM-

About year ago messenger Of the
Farmers and Citizens Bank in Williams
burgh, while carrying large amount in
checks and money to New York, was at
tackled at the corner Of William and Beck
man streets by one of q party who had fol-
lowed him in butchers cart and cruelty
beaten and robbed. This outrage occurred
at midday, while hundreds of persons were
passing, yet the highwaymen escaped with
their plunder and are still at large A
similar outrage took place in Kent avenue,
foot of Rush street. East Division, be-
tween u and o'clock on Saturday, but
in this case the desperadoes failed to OBJ
tain any booty. At the hour named, Will
liam Pettigrew, bookkeeper in the printing
and binding establishment of d. Appleton
& Co., corner of Kent Avenue and Hewes
street, while returning from New York
with the sum of $4, 700 for the purpose Of
paying off the hands employed in the con-
cern, was attacked at the point indicated.
Just as he was passing tree, his assail-
ant came suddenly upon him from his
concealment, and felled him to the earth by
blow with o club on the back of his head.
As Mr.. Pettigrew fell, the ruffan seized
two books which fell from his hands, and
which he supposed to contain the money,
and Immediately jumped into cart con-
tanning the three confederates, and drove
furiously away, leaving the eassaulted young
man in an insensible condition. At the
corner of Bedford avenue the fugitiveswere
hailed by officer Fitzgerald, of the 45th
precinct, who knew nothing Of the out
rage, and warned them to drive less furi-
ously. They then put their horses on
slow trot for a short distance, but getting
beyond pistol shot they increased their
speed, and before the officer got infor-
nation of the outrage they were
out of reach. He pursued them, how
ever, to the neighborhood of the Union
Base Ball ground where he lost sight of
them The highwaymen having examined
the books they took from Mr. Pettigrew,
and finding no money, threw them out of
the cart They also dropped locust club,
wrapped In a newspaper, and heavy set of
false whiskers. The appearance of the
men and the description Of the cart lead
the police to believe that both outrages
we're committed by the same men. Petit
grew received severe scalp wound, but
will soon recover from his injuries. The
money for which he was attacked was not
disturbed

SAD DEATH OF Two LITTLE BoYs.-On
Monday evening last the evening train
brought from Mankato to this city, under
very distressing circumstances, Mr.. B.
Schneider and wife. On Sunday last they
had three little boys, aged respectively
thirteen, nine and seven. During the af-
ternoon they were granted permission to go
out walking, and while doing so went down
to the bank Of the Minnesota, where they
continued some time, when the boy aged
nine concluded to go in bathing, and did
80, He had been in the river but few
minutes before he got beyond his depth
and commenced sinking, seeing which, the
elder brother hastily went in for the pur.
pose ofhelping him out. The result proved
that he was not equal to the attempt fol
while he was struggling to get his brother
out, both got into deep water, and as
the eldest could not swim, both sank.
When they came TO the surface the elder
brother saw the youngest of the three run
ming down to the bank evidently with thC
intention of endeayoring to help the two
out of the water, but notwithstanding tht
perilous position in which the two brother
were, the eldest one had presence of mint
enough to cry out to him, saying: DON
come in or father will lose all his boys q
once" This had the effect of stopping tn,
little fellow, who stood helpless upon tn
bank and saw his brothers sink for the las
time beneath tho waters, clasped in eacl
others arms. The remains of the two littl
boys we're found about half an hour afte
locked tightly together in the death grasp
the same as when they sank. The remain
of the two were brought to this city by tn
Valley road, Monday evening, for intermeH
in the Jewish burying ground, and the fu
neral ceremonies were performed yesterda
and large number Of our Jewish citizen
attending the same.-&. Paul Pioneer III

As ono entrAnced will sometimes gaze afar
Into the deep blue night,
AZ tho sweet radiance Of somo special star
That shines supremely bright.
His looks concentred--ali the rest unrecked
Their glowing courses rum
Though by ten myriad gems the heavens are deck'd
To him there is but one.
So look up into glorious face,
Into calm, kind eye,
Radiant with queenly noblenesa and grace,
Clear as a cloudless sky.
Not braht-as brooks that DER the shadow roll,
But OIL so pure and deep
with fathomless serenity OF soul
Like ocean in sleep.
There might be faces fifty times as fair,
Oh, dear-loyed lady mine
But though there were, I'd neither know nor care
I'm blind to all but thine.
