The Springfield Republican says: sit now
seems probable not only that the greater
part of the $s0,OO0,ooo bonds at six per cent,
coming under Mr.. Boutwelis published
notice, and held abroad, will be exchanged
directly for the new five per cents, but that
q market can soon be found for another
hundred millions or more Of our four and
half and five per cents on the other side of
the ocean, and for an equal amount here
Nor would it be surprising if, before the
first of January, all the five per cents ex-
cept sloOOo0,OOO, and 5000, 600 of the
four and half per cents, should thus have
been taken up-in all, more than third
part of the whole refunding loan of 81 500.
600, 900. This would be a brilliant success
for cur persistent secretary, and would
reduce the yearly interest by s7,00o,oo0."

to its propagation that there is but little in

three or four ditfrent machines for this pnr-

fact that there is such small quantity of

The Shreveport Southeastern SAYS.

We learn that telegram was received
here from New Orleans Saturday last from
Mr.. James K. Ashmore. TO the effect that
he had recovered IN tina, city his buggy and
two horses, some time since taken OF by
H. w. Hart, the party who drew draf: for
five hundred dollars on a New Orleans
house, Of which he represented himself the
agent, and which was cashed bv a banking
house here. Mr.. Ashmore traced the swim
dler all the way to New Orleans, and we
have understood that Hart got the best Of
several other persons. on his way down. fer
considerable sums OF money. We believe
the dispatch failed to state whether Hart
had been arrested or not.

and, after the war. settled. but pair of jet
black eyes captured him. The eyes did not
favor his suit; hence the little irreyu-

Tragedy in Illinois.

CHICAGO, September Yesterday morn
ing at Franklin, De Kalb county. Illinois, a
German, name not given, killed his brother
nlaw, farmer named Weisenberg, his
wife, and attempted the life Of still another
man. and then hung himself The causes
which led to this tragedy are stated as fol-
lows: Some time since the murderer sent
Weisenberg some money from Germany.
and then shortly came over himself on
promise Of being decided portion of the
farm which Weisenberg owned. When he
arrived, Weisenberg refused to fulfill his
agreement with his brother-in-law. and sold
his farm to the man whose life was also at
tempted. This developed bad feeling
among the parties, which resulted in the

A novel case came before Boston court

through the mistake of drug clerk in fill

fund of eight hundred dollars. which they
used in clearing Off an remembrance on the
home of the family, and placed the property
in trust for the widow and children. The
widow demanded the property, to be adj
ministered on as the estate of the deceased.
and divided. The trustees refused. and the
widow brought suit. No precedent for
such a case could be found in an American
court; but the judge held that the contri-
buttons to the relief of the family of
dead man could not be considered part of
the estate of the deceased. and that the
contributors had right to dispose OF the

The Minden Democrat has this to say
about cotton:
The first bale of new cotton was brought
to our market September |, by DR.. j. P.
Schultz, but not sold: the sample was beau
tiful, and twenty cents was offered The
next bale was received the following day
from MI. Dugald Stewart, and sold to Isaac
Murrell, of the firm of Rollins e. Murrell,
for seventeen cents The third bale was
raised by an industrious old freedman by
the name of Samuel Tillman, and sold to
Chaffe. Shea t. Love, who gave him a
premium of I've dollars in gold, which had
been offered by them to any freedman who
would get into market the first new bale.
The cotton is shedding dreadfully, and in
the middle of the day looks almost dead; it
is opening rapidly and picking is getting
good. If the dry weather continues much
longer it will soon be all opened and picked.
The average will hardly reach half a crop.
