Another Murder.

a negro man was Killed at Fan
min, in Rankin county, on Monday
last. We are informed that a man
by the name Of Castccl employed a
|colorcd shoemaker to make him a
pair OF boots, to be finished on Mon
day last.
Castcel made threats that should
the boots not be finished and failed
to fit him-and be done by two
O'Clock of Monday, that he would
kill the negro. At the time desig-
mated Casteel repaired to the shocma
ker's shop. The boots were not
satisfactorily finished. There
was, however in the shop at the
time Casteel called another colored
man. Casteel invited this man out
ofthe shop, andtalked with him for
a while, but when their conversation
was .ended the negro returned to
the shop. Shortly afterwards a
companion of Castecl's again entic-
ed the shoemaker's friend from his
shop, but he again returned, and
was afterwards enticed away by
another OF Casteel's comrades.
While absent this last time, as is
charged, Casteel took donblebarrcl
shotgun and shot the shoemaker
in the back Of the head.
The friends Of Castecl who were
witnesses Of this outrageous murder
have left this part ofthe county,
but Casteel is in custodyin Brandon
and we presume that every reasona-
bic endeayor will be made on the
part Of the officers of the law to
metc out justice to him.

HORACE aRERLEY-HIs VISIT SOUTH.

We learn that Horace Greeley is soon
to lecture in Memphis. He is now in
Texas, and on his way back to New York
he will favor this city with his lecture
upon Selfmade Men" Greeley, with
all his idiosyncracies of character and
vagaries of mind upon many subjects
political and moral, is an able man, and
possesses certain independence Of
spirit which enables him to tell truth
fully of things as he sees them and be-
lieves them to exist. In every place
that he has yet appeared in the South he
has received the marked attention due
the representative man Of the North
and the editor Of the most widely
circulated paper in this country.
In New Orleans and Houston he was
especially honored. We think this for
bodies better feeling between the two
sections, and we would be glad il more
of the honest editors Of the North could
be induced to come Sonth, and see for
themselves the exact status Of society as
it exists among us. In fact, the Radi-
cal party is almost kept together by cal
umnies perpetrated upon the South.
Horace will lecture here on the I'd Of
June and, of course, everybody will go
to hear him, as possibly another oppor-
tunity Of so doing may never occur again.
The Inequalities of the Overton have
been offered him during his sojourn in
this city.

VERSAILLES, May %, via BouLoGSE
May 24.-The foreign ambassadors al
present here have sent orders to Their
representatives in Paris forbidding them
to give protection to the insurgents. The
United States Minister refused to do so,
but determined not to allow the insur-
gents the benefit of foreign flag. No
person will be allowed to leave on any
pretext whatever.
Already there have arrived in Yer
sailles five thousand prisoners. In the
Place Vendome numbers of National
Guards we're crouching by the side of
walls,
A perfect hail of shells was falling in
Rue st. Honore and Rue Rivoli. The
fronts of the houses were being torn
down by the shells from the Place de
Laconcorde. Barricades were being
thrown up at all points, and battalions
we're marching up, headed by vivandiers
with sabers slung over their shoulders.
The Hotel de Vile was surrounded
by the Nationals, and workmen were de-
molishing the statue of Henry Ouatre.
All. was confusion. Piatt passed hur-
riedly and entered the Hotel de Vile.
Cluseret's prison room was empty, and
his breakfast was untouched on the out
side. The insurgents were hastily con-
structing new harricades.
By noon the Versailles troops were in
possession of the Tuileries, Rue Rivoli,
ruins of the Corps Legislatif, and Rue
lie Militaire. On Tuesday morning they
entered the gates of Montmartre by
means of the treachery of some of the
insurgents. A fearful fight took place,
and panic broke out in the midst Of
the Communists. TheVersaillists, open
ing the other gates, advanced with
great rapidity on both sides of the Seine.
The Nationals were marching and sing
ing the Marseilles, with women in their
midst. Barbados were going up at
halfpast twelve o'clock, and the Ma
tionals were retreating down the Eau
bourg Poissoniere in distress. AT half
past two o clock firing was heard in Rue
Lafayette, and cry was raised that
was taken.

The Edwards.C Collins Prize Fight
Pigeon Shooting Match.


New YORK, May 24.-The Edwards
Collins prize fight, which is expected to
take place to-day, created a great deal
of excitement in the city last night.
About one hundred and fifty policemen,

ined to prevent the fight assembled at
the Washington House and marched to
the foot of Whitehall street, where they
embarked on board the police boat SEN
eca, and steamed up the river, orders
having been issued to cruise up and

and capture the prize fighters. 1t having
been reported that the fight would take
place at Cold Springs, Long Island, a
strong force of police were also stationed
at the ferries, on the Long Island side of
the river, and several crowds Of roughs
who crossed on their way TO the fight

The LOcusts.

Says the Baton Rouge Advertiser:
The woods bordering upon and contig-
nous to Cypress bayou and Comite river
are vocal with myriads of locusts that
are destroying tender vegetation in that
locality fast and furiously. At certain
hours of the day the noise made by their
wings has the sound of the escaping of
steam from a thousand safety-valves.
They differ from the ordinary or seven
year locust, in this, that instead of the
"W" on their backs, they have that let
ter raised on their bodies, under each
wing. Those who profess to interpret
such phenomena, say that these locusts
are omens of war and woe" others de-
clare that they are diminutive specimens
of the genus carpet-bagger and the fore
runners of the Ku-Klux bill, while others
of more practical turn say that they
are the seventeen-year locusts. Allagree,
we believe, that these locusts appeared

p.p,s-yANpAL1sM OF THE COMMUNE

The closing scenes IN Paris yesterday
as disclosed by the telegraph this morn
sing, presents fearful picture of blood
shed The Communists, driven from
place to place, rallied their panic
stricken forces, but would again have ia
Weld to the victorious march of the
troops of the Versailles Government
and the streets of Paris run red with the
blood Of her own citizens. The loss Of
the Communists, we are told, was terri
BILE; the troops gave no quarters, and
many of the leaders Of the Communists
were captured, and many shot. But
we are glad the agony is now
over and this terrible destruction
of human life will be stopped. The
flag of the Versailles Government now
waves over the city of Paris, and Presi-
dent Theirs and Marshal Mcmahon will
enter tomorrow. The Republicans, or
Communists as they style themselves,
nut who more properly should be called
the Destructives, have had control OF
Paris for several months and been the
cause of all this trouble. What will the
world say of these crazy men and their
vandalism in destroying the beautiful
column of the Place Vendome2 Though
thew NAV be blind TO many OF the
crimes with which the Communists
have stained the name OF liberty,
they cannot certainly see any good
nurpose in the delirious mob who
vent their fury in the wanton destruction
Of objects which have made Paris the
admiration of all the world. The col
umn in the Place Vendome was monu-
ment to the military glory Of France.
II was a memorial of the victories OF
the great campaign of lSO5-of Ulm
and Austerlitz. 1t was endeared to the
French people and for years they have
crowned the palisades around its base
with wreaths of immortelles to perpetu-
ate the memory of that campaign. The
first Napolean ordered the column to
be constructed in the Place Vendome.
Twelve hundred cannon taken in battle
furnished portion of the material OF
which it was constructed. Twice since
the completion of this column, the OBJ
ject Of which was to perpetuate the VIC
tories of the French over Germany, the
Germans have been in Paris as victors.
But they conquered their resentments
and the column stood after their depar-
ture, and it only remained for the mad
men of Paris, styled Communists, to in
suit repubIicanism and to bring odium
upon themselves by its total destruction.
But the reign of these men is nov at an
end, and France has only again to COM
mence to rebuild her shattered temples
and reconstruct her ruined fortunes.

SOMETHING ABOUT BABIES.
A mfg Baby show in st. LOuts-The
Ladies' I'm Ecstnctes.

Sr. LOUIS, May ia baby show was
held at the Temple to-day, in connection
with a festival for the beneht'of the
Good Samaritan Hospital, and created
nm immense sensation among the ladies'.
The hall was jammed, and the compe-
tition was very lively. Eighty single
babies, seven pairs of twins and one set
of triplets were on exhibition. The
first prize was awarded John Walker,
four months old, weighing thirty-seven
nounds; the second to John b. German,
seven months old, weighing twenty-six
pounds.
Pretty good for St, Louis. But we
think we can beat that here, and as we
are to have baby show in Memphis
next month we will not brag too much
in advance. We think we have the
prettiest women here in the world, and
certainly the finest babies, Time will

father, who was expected from Chicago.
Mr.. Clarson did not come, but the little
boy saw a coffin containing the body Of

imagination pictured the dead body Of
his father in the coffin, and he hurried
home to state his fears to his mother.
The mother did all she could 10 convince
