The MURDER OF LOUIS PARKER.-We
referred, the other day, to the arrest of Jake
Hasp:l, Wash. Wyatt and Aleck Merritt
on suspicion of completely in the murder
Of Louis Parker, Of Birjs Point Missouri
Lest our Radical friends make an election.
eering outrage out of the affair, we will
say that the parties are all colored men,
and vote precisely rs their white Radical
friends tell them to vote.
Tho suspected parties were conveyed to
Birds Point, Monday morning and the
balance Of the day was devoted TO the work
of hunting up evidence, The preliminary
examination was made yesterday, quite u
number Of Cairo negroes being present as
witnesses. The evidence pointing rather
positively to HAspil as the guilty party.
Wash Wyatt, a negro seventy-two years
old, concluded he would "make clean
breast Of H." He therefore confessed that
Hsspil, Merritt and himself killed Parker.
Hsspil loaded the gun, putting in heavy
charge Of powder and buck-shot, Wyatt
called Parker out Of the house, and Merritt
shot and killed him. OF the nature Of the
quarrel that led to this tragic affair, we
have not been informed. Haspil, Merritt
and Wyatt were placed in irons and con.
veyed 70 Charleston, and there committed
to Jail to await final trial in the Mississippi
county circuit court. Aleck Cook, who
was also suspected, established an alb,
and was acquitted.
The gun with which Parker was killed,
was brought to Cairo by Haspil and con-
cesled in house on Third street, where
constable Arnold found and took possess
ion Of il.
From all We can learn, We Judge that
Haspil was the principal-the prime
movcr-in the murder-that he laid the
plans and persuaded Wyatt and Merritt to
TO assist him in executing them.

fortunate for this people to secure his

Colonel DuBose possesses, in an eminent
degree. the qualities which are necessary

ability to apprehend and the capacity to

for the best interest of the people. Ia

THE HELENA MYSTERY.
Five Young Men Struck Deaf I'm
one Night

The report we mentioned yesterday
that FIVE young men had been struck
deaf at Helena, Arkansas, is fully con-
frmed, though the phenomena remain
painful mystery, One Of the young
men, as we stated, is in the city for
treatment. His name is Robb, and he
formerly clerked at Mansfield 4 Higbee s
drug store. Yesterday he was met and
accosted by an old acquaintance who
had not heard of his misfortune. He
produced pencil and paper and wrote ;
81 cannot hear word you say; | have
been struck deaf" This rather dumb
founded his friend, but they went INFO
Higbees drug store and had a long
talk on paper. ifs GHt ttsl Il
The additional particulars which we
have learned are as follows: The young
men were together in room one even
ing last week, and when they separated
for the night all were as well as usual.
Next morning the alarming fact was
discovered that they we're all completely
deaf, and the most of them suffering from
heavy pain in the head. No relief
could be had in Helena; so four of them
went to New Orleans for treatment and
young Mr.. Robb came to Memphis and
placed himself under the treatment OF
DR.. Voorhees,. Various conjectures have
been made as to the cause of this slngu-
lar occurrence; some ascribe it to a
direct visitation of Providence; Others,
of superstitious minds, to some subtle
influence, not of God nor yet of man,
while some seek to find scientific cause
in the condition of the weather, or what
they ate and drank on the occasion.

great success of this liniment, since its

which the propristors feel justly proud.

other liniments wherever introduced, and
this simply upon its own merits. The
happy combination of rare essential
oils, extract Of arnic3, ehlorodyne, and
other equally powerful material has
formed pain destroyer which is second to
none. Its peculiar action on the absorb
ents is not to seal them up as other lini-
ments frequently do, but to open them
and Increase the circulation, and thus
when it applied, not only is pain at once
arrested but cure commences. Those
