A family of four persons, resid
ing near the Plains, in the upper
part of the parish died suddenly
a few days since of a disease sup
posed to be the fatal spotted fe-
yer. The symptoms were chills
and neuralgia pains, followed by
congestion of the brain and the
appearance Of rash similar to that
indicative of scarlet fever. The
unfortunate family was named
Lyon and had but recently NOV

continually putting forth strict
nres OIL the character and writ
fngs OF Franklin. The editor
OF that paper may have once
read the life and some of the
writings of that great man:
but surely he did not peruse
them carefully, else how comes
it that his deductions are so
different from those of al other
critics.
He inds fault with Frank
Inns gravity. Now every one
who has even read Weems's
life of him should know that he
had not this quality at all in
his composition, taking the
common acceptation Of the
word gravity as its true defini-
ton. He had no owl i'm him,
but was noted for easy, genial
humor.
The Times thinks thero is too
much religion in Franklin's
writings, and says he took
Cromwell for his prototype. If,
indeed, he ever wrote theolog-
ical works, we are at the first
oft. If he did, he truly de-
serves apprehension, for he was
an infdel. Strange, indeed,
that ne should take a bigot, in
religion, for a prototype! No
two men i'm history can be
found more unlike, than Crom-
well and Franklin. They can
only be compared by Antithe-
sis. The first was a firm beliey-
er, a bigot and a prosecutor;
the second, an unbelieysr i'm a
mild way, seeking no prose-
lytes, granting all liberation.
The first, was a great, cruel,
domineering soldier; tne sec
ond, a generous, mild, philoso-
pher and statesman. With
Cromwell, liberty was a stalk
ing horse under cover Of which
he usurped more than kingly
power, with Franklin, il was a
reality, that he assisted to
gain in permanence for himself
and his countrymen.
Franklin's "Way to Wealth"
is much disliked by the Times,
mainly because all the ideas in
it are not original. The work
is a short homespun philosophy,
and no one ought any more to
expect all the ideas put forth in
it to be original than that ev-
erything in a new Grammar
should be. But the style is pc
culiarly his own old facts are
shown in new lights, and in
just such a way as to strike and
please the common run of folks.
The work was not int nded for
wiseacres. This little work has
gained such a world wide repu-
tation, that we would be afraid
to say it is not good, even if
we thought so. AT least, we
would accompany our opinion
with some well studied criti-
cisins.
If the Times would take
Franklin, rather than Junius,
for its prototype in writing, it
would have much more influ-
ence in controlling the affairs
ofLouisiana.

Another Girl Full Of Needles.
From the Memphis Appea


Last Sunday evening a young girl, who
lives on the Raleigh road, complained of a
violent pain in the head and right cheek.
AT first the mother of the girl thought that
nothing serious would result. aud that a
visit OF doctor was not necessary About
ten o'clock the same night the pain in the
head and cheek began to cease. The child g
eyes closed and her pains were forgotten in
sleep. The mother. who watched incessant-
~ at her daughters bedside, thought that
before morning all would be we'll. but this
was not the case. The sick girl awOke be-
fore five the next morning, and began to
cry in a most lamentable manner. Her
mother inquired for the cause of this. The
daughter replied that she had terrible pain
in herright arm: she felt as though some
thing was sticking her there. From the way
she suffered. it was at last concluded to send
for a doctor. The physician came about
nine o'clock, and ordered some lniment to
be rubbed on the painful arm.
The next morning the doctor came again,
asking Mary. for this was the child's name,
to show her arm. He perceived right be-
low the shoulder three very small spots,
shining as steel would. Touching them, he
found that they were very hard. The girls
mother then remarked that these dots
looked like the heads of needles. The doc
tor could not believe that there was such a
thing in Mary's arm: however. to please the
mother. he applied a small pair of pincers
to one of the spots. Now, imagine the sur
prise of those present when he pulled out Of
the flesh three needles, which formed the
three spots upon the arm. But this is not
the end. The physician continued his visits
three more mornings, extracting each morn
ing two more needles. After this Mary 8
pains passed away, and now she is as we'll
as any Of US. Can some scientific brain ex-
plain how needles found their way into the
arms Of this little girl, who endured so
much suffering. If crank were attached
to such girl. wouldn't she make capital

A Controversy.

Recently, the New Orleans Times had a
tilt at the Planters Banner and said:
Though good authority as to worms and
sugar crops along the pleasant banks of the
Teche, Colonel bennett can not be accepted
as guide on railway questions, political
affairs, or even matters Of industrial ecopo-
my. His ideas are neither metropolitan
nor national. He is essentially a local
country journalist; we'll meaning, but by
no means broad thoughted, or expanded in
his mental range Of vision.
To this the Banner rejoins:
The above paragraph appeared in the
Times at date when the leading merchants
and business men of New Orleans had sub
scribed about 100000 as part of 800, 900
to be employed in planting and sustaining
a new daily newspaper in New Orleans, ID.
bennett, Of the Planters Banner, to be
editor in chief.
But we do not know that the editor of
the Times was apprised of the fact. Per-
haps he only wished to give the public cor
rect information in relation to the size
and weight of our brain, as he aims to in
struct the benighted multitude, and to
throw Drummond light upon all matters
which profound wisdom can reach, or
cyclopedias contain.

The Fa2ende Murder Trial.

This case was resumed yesterday morn.
ing in the parish court of jefferson. The
most interesting part of the proceedings
appeared in the testimony of Miss Melicere
Fazende, daughter of the accused, and
Madame St. Amaund. Their testimony was
given with more than an ordinary degree
of intelligence, although spoken in French.
With the talent and shrewdness of the op-
posing counsel IF. F. Roman, R. King Cut
ler and w. T. Scott, District Attorney Nc
Kay is managing the case with marked
ability.
The same large number of spectators
were present as has been the case during
the whole examination, and mostly COM
posed Of colored people, who listened with
the closest attention to every word as it
fell from the lips of the witnesses and coun.
sci. During the examination yesterday
constant disputes arose between the district
attorney and the counsel for the accused,
which were at once ruled upon by the
court.
At three P. NJ. the court adjourned
to meet this morning at ten o'clock, while
Mr.. LIE Breton was giving his testimony.

finances are the floating debt, and through
this the tax levy has disappeared again, -
II dld last year, in advance of its collection,
In the Stock Exchange there was q scene
OF great excitement when the announce
ment OF an extra sale Of gold was made.
There was, for short time, a rush to sell
stock generally, and prices declined one
half to one per cent. This theory was based
on the report that the bear combination
wonld withdraw and lock up five millions
IN greenHacks tomorrow, when the gold
would have 70 be paid for.
Later-In the afternoon the market
became frmer, and the decline was
partially recovered on the rumor that
the treasury wonld be very easy
about the payment for gold if money was
stringent. The fact that Secretary Boutwell,
will be here tonight, also caused a better feel
ing. especially as it was reported that he pro-
badly would order extra purchases of bonds
for Saturday. In the Gold Room great con-
fusion and excitement also followed the an
nouncement of the extra sale of gold by the
treasury. There was q great pressure to
sell. under which the price of gold declined
rapidly to l137s.
This was followed by a sudden recovery
to ll4as, and the market ranged ll4h0
llass to the close of the day. In the money
market the brokers were identified with
the bears, and the shylocks of Wall street
rushed to the corner of Broad street and
Exchange place when the extra sale of gold
was known and commenced to bid up the
price of money. At one time seven per
cent gold interest was bid, but there were
no legitimate transactions over seven per
cent currency. Before the close of the
bank hour money was offered at five to six
per cent.
