A WARNING.-An Illinois pa,
per utters a warning: ssPeople at
this season should look out for the
large worm which infests the to
mato vines. It's sting is deadly
poison. 1t is of a green color, two
or three inches long, and as large
as a mans finger. At Red Greek,
Wayne county, a few days ago, o
servant girl, while gathering to-
matoes, received apancture from
one of these worms, which created
a sensation similar to that of q
bee-sting. In a short time the
poison penetrated to every part of
her system, and she was thrown
into spasms which ended in

1.-THE Chinese Problem and
"What shall we do with John
Chinamang" are now the favor
tie topics of Northern papers,
which have waxed themselves
into the belief that a new social
difficulty is arising in this coun-
try. This is all folly. The
question can be answered in
four words: "Send him to u.s."
We have plenty of room, plen-
ty of labor for him. and we will
not be incommoded by his
peculiarities, to which Northern
papers attach so much impor-
lance. To be sure, John will
interfere, to some extent, with
the blessed negro, who cannot
compete with him long in a fair
field N. 0. Times.
The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1869-07-24
The N. o. Times utters our

sentiments in this:
"Whatever may be the polit-
ical wrong perpetrated by send
ing Henri de Rochefort [editor
LIE Lanterne] to Jail for three
years, none who have perused
his ungentlemanly ISLANDERS of
the French Empress will regret
it. A nature base enough to
blacken the reputation of an
estimable woman to further sell
fish ends is eminently deserv-
ing Of a prison. If France is
ever to find salvation from ty-
rainy, it will not be at the
hands of any such low, grovel-
ling nature as that of Roche
fort. He is only one of the po-
litical impurities driven to the
surface, and in getting rid of
such refuse lies the first hope of
France"

In reply to the frequent
charges of cruelty to the Union
prisoners in the South during
the war, the late National In
telligencer published some sta
tistics, which ought to be gen.
orally circulated. The number
of Confederates in Northern
prisons during the war, is stat
ed, in round numbers, at 1921
900; of Federals in Southern
prisons, 100000. OF the Con-
federates in Northern prisons,
$4,000 died; of the Federals in
Southern prisons, $4,000 died.
1t will thus be seen that while
held a preponderance of $4,000
more prisoners, there were s.
900 more deaths in Northern
prisons than in those of the
Confederacy.

Correspondence.
! OMAHA, NEBRASKA, !
July 7th, 1869. !

July 7th, 1869.
DEAR BANNER: From Chi
cago, the great moral city of
the west, I came to this place,
a pleasant, healthy and beauti-
fully located city of about 49,
600 inhabitants, and which, 10
years ago, was as unpretending
a village as Bellevue. 1t is sit
uated on several high hills, on
the banks of the Missouri river,
with a beautiful level country
stretching as far beyond as the
eye can reach. This place, 800
miles from Chicago, was, until
recently, regarded as the ex-
IRENE Western boundary of the
United States !; now it is called
an Eastern city, where people
come to go out west. Property
has increased fearfully in value.
AS an instance, 3 years ago, a
German came here and leased
for a term of 10 years, a block
. of ground, upon which stood a
church, for $500 per annum.
He converted the Church house
into a Lager Beer saloon, and
receives a yearly rental of about
$4,000 for the remainder of the
block. He has refused $4,000
for his bargain.
Omaha is rather a free and
easy place, everybody doing,
thinking and speaking as they
please. 1t is rather cosmopoli-
tan in population. Cars arriy-
ing and departing morning and
evening. Sitting on the hotel
piazzas as the 'busses come in
from the depot loaded with pas
sengers, we occasionally notice
familiar faces from the Western
shores of California and the
sunny cline of Louisiana-one
is coming home after a long
absence and the other is going
out, and here they meet on mid
way ground.
1t is 1916 miles from here to
San Francisco. The Union Pa
cifie Railroad extends from here
to Promontory Point, a distance
of 1890 miles. The Central Pa
cific railroad begins at Promon-
tory Point and ends at San
Francisco, a distance of CSC
miles. Fare from here to San
Francisco, S133-greenbacks.
The only objection that ]
have to Omaha is that the
streets are so dusty, especially
during the prevalence of the
! high, though cool and refresh
ing winds that sweep through
the streets, filing your eyes,
nose and mouth Gf you don't
keep it shut with dust.
| may write you again about
this place before I leave, if your
readers can stand it.
. Respectfully,
-f f-s SPECTATOR.

may speculate upon the probabla

and policies to be adopted for tl,s
protection of the national inteseSta

Gen. Sherman remarked, the

Bossier parish is law-abiding.
Life is as safe here is anywhere
else in the United States. Our
own citizens, and those who
are acquainted with us, know
this to be a fact. Yet there are,
we are disposed to believe,
thoughtless men who fail to ap-
preciate the blessings of a peace
footing. A six-shooter is a part
and parcel of their wardrobe.
They would as soon appear IN
deshabiUe as without their ines
Unable six-shooter. The IA
nous Siamese twins never en-
joyed acloser relationship than
does the six-shooter with these
men. We think the continual
practice of carrying firearms
prejudicial to the good interest
of society and the community
at large. If the habit means,
anything at all, it implies that
we are a lawless people, or the
carriers are blusterers and bull
lies. Six-shooters don't consti-
tute bravery.
Strangers are led to believe
that We are a lawless and UNI
conth people, forsooth, because
they see so many of our citi-
zens making small arsenals of
their persons. tits none of our
business, perhaps, but we are
anxious to see tho disgusting
practice frowned down. If the
habitual wearers of six-shooters
would dispose of them and in
vest the proceeds in a good
pillow, keeping it a-going, they
would find more money in it
in the end.
The habit alluded to, is an
out-growth of the late war,
which we would have cease
with the cause thatproduced it.
Yet, we are not opposed in
whole, to the carrying of wea-
pons for personal defence. But
contend that it would be more
appropriate that they should |
be coRceGIed-not Haunted in |
the face of the public at the |
church, ballroom, etc. CAS-
