KILLED BY HIS BRoTHER.-James
and BARLEY Tucker have resides in
this county many years; they were
industrious, energetic rattsmen, who
occasionally took too much inebriat
ing beverage, and as a natural conse-
qence, would sometimes drift into a
little row, but up to Wednesday last
nothing to ALLEVIATE the brothers had
ever happened between them. They
were on a raft in Old river, some dis
lance from the mouth of the Yazoo
and the Mississippi. BARLEY, it is re-
ported, was drinking very freely, and
became engaged in "a quarrel with his
brother. During the row knives were
drawn, and James Tucker, seeing his
life in danger, stabbed his brother, in
flicting a wound which proved fatal
that night. James Tucker surren-
dered himself to the authorities and
asserts that he acted purely in self
defence. The provocation must have
been great indeed that would force a
man to slay his own. brother-to send
into eternity, without moments
warning, our own flesh and blood. An
examination will probably be had to-

Coupon, the corpulent banker, was
standing in State street one hot day in
August, "wiping the servile drops from
off his brow" when ragged but sharp
eyed newsboy accosted him with:
Please, sir, tell me the time ? :"
Coupon lugged out his Frodsham,
and looking benignly down upon his
interlocutor, replied:
"sJust two o'clock"
"All right, old buffer" said the
gamin, gathering his rags together for
a run, you can sell out for soap
grease at three"
The insulted man of money raised
his cane, made frantic rush at his
tormentor and nearly fell overa friend
who was coming up the street.
Halo, Coupon, what's the mat
ter?n said the other.
Matter?n said Coupon, putting
with heat and anger, why one of those
rascally newsboys asked me the time,
and when I told him two o'clock, the
the impudent young seoundrel said
might sell out for soap-grease al
three"
Don't be in such a hurry" was the
malicious response sit is only five
minutes past two; you've got fifty.

FROM BRAzIL.-Mr. Abel Roussel,
of Thibodaux, who has been six years
absent in Brazil, recently returned
home, to tell his friends that Louisi-
ana is better country than any he
found in his travels. We are told
that he tried both cane and coffee cui-
ture during his absence, but neither
proved profitable. He says that cane
must be cut and rolled in a certain
season, or it dries up and loses its
sacharine substance; and if cut as
green as here, it will not make sugar.
Therefore, though that climate is
milder than ours, yet it is not as good
for sugar planting.-Sugar Boact.

Leet and Meagher.
We copy this from the New Orleans

We copy this from the New Orleans
LouisiaRian:
A short time since, little paper,
styled The Independent, made its
appearance in Abbeyille, Vermilion
parish, under the editorship of Mr..
j. A. Meagher. 1t appeared to us to
he a peculiar paper. One of its
idosyncracies seemed TO us to be to
go for Leet, the editor of the Abbeville
Flag, in peculiar way. The simili-
arity of type and make up of the two
papers, also served to excite some
suspicion in our mind, as to the gen
llineness of the " Eternally Demo
cratic" declaration at the head of
The Independent; SO we cast about
for some solution of what looked very
predetermined to us. The reader can
guess our surprise, when, a few days
ago, we received the information from
Abbeville, that Mr.. Meagher is Leet's
printer, and that there is no doubt
in the minds of the people of this par
ish, that the articles in The Iadepend-
ent are all from the pen of Leet,
whose object is to instill into the minds
of the colored people, that Governor
Warmoth and the members of the
Turner'S Hall Convention, are about
to sell out to the Democracy. Last
week the official journal kept back
three days to allow The Independent
to come Out.'
Now, when it is remembered that
on the surface these two nanarS bava
been abusing each other, that chal-
lenges for duel even passed between
them, that people are taught to
believe one of them is Black Repub-
hcan and the other an uncompromising
Democrat, and to discover that they
are friends and work together, and
when it is borne i'll mind that the
Flag abuses Governor Warmoth, and
the Independent denounces both War
moth and Dunn, and everything
Radical and Republican, our readers
can form some idea of the extent to
which some men can condescend to
go, to accomplish malign purpose.
The Independent hoists the name of
ii. G. Warmoth, of Illinois, for next
Vice President of the United States.
and is laboring hard to gets its read
ers to believe him fit delegate to
the Democratic Convention. This
mode of aspersion won't do gentle
men-yeur plan is discovered was
too transparent, and the reward will
come back in fearful recoil ON your
own heads.

Bravery of a Young Girl.

Robert Gibbes, a gentleman who
was patriot in the Revolutionary war,
was the owner of a plantation on the
Stone, a few miles from Charleston.
Here, one day, a British battalion en-
camped, and compelled the family to
surrender to their use the lower part
of the mansion, and to confine them
selves in the upper story.
While here, on one dark and stormy
evening, two galleys appeared, as
cending the river, and began most
destructive fire upon the British en-
campment. The house seemed par
ticularly exposed, although the vessels
had been commanded to avoid firing
upon it, and to confine their attack to
the enemy's encampment.
Of this Mr.. Gibbes was not aware,
and with the permission of the English
commander, he set out, although sui
fering acutely from an infirlnity, and,
with his numerous family, fastened to
the protection of the neiShboring
plantation.
The balls were falling thick and fast.
sometimes scattering dirt and disaster
over the party, while their loud whiz-
zing mingled with the fury of the dis
tant affray, rendered the scene one OF
danger and terror. But scarcely had
they proceeded so far as to be out OF
danger from the balls, when to Their
unutterable agony, they discovered
that, in the confusion and hurry of de-
parture, an infant had been left be-
hind.

HARPER's PERIODICALS.
HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
" in Harpers Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much TO
tliffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Ditfu-
sion of Useful Knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give COR
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
eddy more popular magazine in the world. =
