The st. Louis Democrat has an article on

account is to be taken OF the first perturba-

manipulators, and give no indication OF

Of cotton during the war, we reason that
the demand for fabrics will be fully as great
throughout the civilized world as if the

EXPLOSION OF A SHELL.
q Death of Four Persons.

The Picayune of last evening says:
We learn from Mr.. Fremaux, Deputy Sur
yeyor, who has just returned from Profit
island, about four miles below Port Hudson,
that a dreadful accident happened there on
island quite number of those deadly mis-
siles which were known during the war as
lamp-posts, and which were probably,
thrown there from the gunboats. One OF
them, l5O-pound shell, a number OF men
and boys took it into their heads to lnvestl-
gate, drilling at the vent with steel hatchet
and chisel The result was that the shell
exploded, killing outright two men and two
boys, and wounding another boy.
Nj Fremaux was standing near at the
time. but escaped unframed. He states the
fm,r persons killed were literally torn to
atoms. being an indistinguishable mass OF
human flesh. 1t is useless to moralize on
such a dreadful fact as the above. 1t car
