RUNAWAY.-I.ast Saturday afternoon,
while AIr. Chas. Raymond in company
With his little sou, Alv, were driving into
the city from Neshoto, on the town line
road, from some unforeseen cause the thils
became detached from the buck board in
which they were riding, and, the whitfie
tree dropping upon the heels of the horse,
it became frightened and started off at
break neck speed, capsiziDg the vehicle and
"spilling OUT its inmates. Happily ne
one was injured, although the buck board,
which was dragged at considerable length
before the horse freed himself from it, was
so completely demolished as to be of no
further use. The horse was stopped after
running mile or two, and was considcra,
bly, bruised up.

INSANITY IN ENGLAND.-Ac-
cording to the most prominent
medical journals of Great Britain,
insanity is largely on the increase
in England. DR.. Martin Duncan
writes to the Quarterly Journal of
Science that "the cures of the in
sanein our fine asylums are not
more numerous than they were
from 174S to 1914, when the treat
ment of the insane was a disgrace
to humanity" that tour social
state is producing year after year
an Increasing amount of insanity
more than ever difficult of cure:
and that "there is no denying or
explaining away the fact of the
rapid accumulation of insane per
sons in all parts of the kingdom. .

France and Prussia have got
together by the ears at last, and
will shortly commence the delight
full operation of killing each others
soldiers. Now, we don't see the
necessity for all this, because if
the worst use you can put a man
to is to hang him, we don't see
how the matter can be at all i'm
proved by killing off men a
wholesale. Suppose those tN
great powers could be brought to
arbitrate their differences, and
make calculation as to how
many men might be killed if they
persist in fighting, and then send
that number over here, would it
not be a great deal more satisfac-
tory, especially for those who
would be killed ? We want la
borers. Our country wants filing
up with live stock more than Eu-
rope wants her fields filled up with
dead men. We have telegraphed
to William and Louis upon this
subject, and we expect the great
est consideration will be paid our
suggestion. If not, they need ex-
pect no mere gratuitous "puffs"

ED. BossIER BANNER-Dear
Sir: My attention has been call
ed to an editorial, based upon a
letter signed observer" and pub
lished in the same issue of the
"Red River News" To denounce
the letter as false, in every word
and line that refers to me, or any
one in the leastconnected with my
office, is perhaps enough, but when
an editor let's his passion or his
prejudice so master his reason,
that he stops not to consider the
consequence of his comments
stops not to ascertain the truth of
the charges, but blindly applies
to the lash of Reproduction in I'M
measured terms, caring not wheth-
er he is scourging the innocent or
the guilty; then, indeed, to assert
the falseness Of his charges is not
enough. a
Such conduct on his part places
him infinitely lower down on the
ladder Of infamy than the first au-
thor of the slaRderOaS lie.
To those who know me it is not
necessary to say that there was no
one connected with my Office in
that part of the country at the
time this outrage occurred, or that
1t would not have occurred, had
the prisoner been under the charge
OF myself or my deputy.
| am informed that the man in
whose charge the prisoner was, at
the time, was John Enos, of Caddo
parish, a deputy Sheriff or Consta-
bic, and the warrant on which he
was arrested, was issued by a Jus
tice of the Peace, of Caddo parish.
and the first intimation that any
one connected with my office had,
was after the arrival of the pris,
oner in Bellevue, where he was
brought by Mr.. G. W. Chappell.
Such, Mr. Editor, is a plain state
ments of the facts of this case.
and by giving them publicity, you
will not only confer a favor upon
me, but correct very grave error
which would otherwise perhaps
gain credence throughout the
State.
Respectfully &C.,
E. X. Russ,
Sheriff of Bossier Parish.

The latest kilograms bring
news of a considerable battle
between the French and Prus-
slams in which the loss of the
Prussians was 1000 killed and
wounded and of the French
in prisoners 1000, killed and
wounded not stated. The bat
tie lasted from 8 o'clock in the
morning to 7 in the evening of
the 9th, and the Prussians gain
ed a decided victory. They
have advanced into French ter
ritory. From this account we
do not think the battle was at
all decisive of the war. Between
such great armies it was but
skirmishing, and therefore we
may expect shortly a great
battle.
The French have anew weap-
onof war called Metralor, which
is reported as very effective at
10000 metres, or some II miles.
We think this 10000 in the
kilograms should read 1,6O0.
The Metralor is a kind of re-
volving cannon, but IFS partic-
ular construction has not yet
come to us.
The Emperor must gain a de-
cided victory very shortly, else
the volatile French may rebel
against him. Already a strong
feeling is!reported against him,
but we think the report prema-
ture.

Telegraph that the "Union
Record" a paper published in
Union parish, has been some
what damaged by some persons
entering it's Office on night of
9th July and knocking its
type into pi and doing other
damage.
We are sorry for it as injur-
ing the proprietor, but we have
the consolation to know that
the Radical press can take no
advantage of it, for the paper
was democratic. Doubtless
some personal antipathies to
the editor was at the bottom of
the affair.

Novels.

We have always thoughtthat
the principal personages of a
novel, that is, those engaged
most Immediately in the plot,
should be made to act their
characters rather than have
them described in the language
of the author. We think that
the principal excellency Of
Dickens is in his causing this
acting of character in a greater
degree than any other novelist.
But even he, at times, relies
too much on description simply,
and thereby makes his writing
prosy. We want a picture Of
life in a novel to be we'll pleas
ed with it. A tale may be filled
with fine philosophy, splendid
sentiments and beautiful Ian
guage, but if the philosophy is
put in the mouths of children,
and the sentiment and rhetoric
into the mouths of the ignorant
and debased, it fails to please.
In most novels, if a william is
shortly to appear in the scene,
his vilianous countenance and
villainous reputation is told you
beforehand. Of course the rea-
der CONSTITUTES everything he is
made to do and say as a part of
his villainy, and when the big
thing is reached there is no sur
prise, no pleasure, but often
chagrin in finding him not as
great q devil as was hoped to
be. And 50 it will be in rela-
) ton to every other kind OF
character.
No writer has shown greater
; skill in drawing character and
in making his personages act
their characters than Shaks.
