TRAGIC END OF A YOUNG COLoRED
LAWYER, A NATIVE OF RICHMOND
Last March, a young colored man named
w. G. Wynn, who was native of this
city, but who had been North, where he
received a liberal education, obtained Ii
cense to practice law in the several courts of
the city and in those Of the United States.
He was introduced to the courts by Judge
Alfred Morton, whose Endorsement of him
and his own merit and ability soon made a
favorable impression upon many members
of the bar. After remaining IN this city
for several months, such inducements were
offered him in Arkansas as determined him
to move to that State, where he engaged in
the practice of his profession. We copy
the following from Saturdays Tribune, as
to the fate of this young and promising
man. Mr.. Wynn will be remembered by a
number of his colored friends of this city,
who will regret to hear of his untimely
death. lie and Mr.. Ferguson, the barber,
were close and intimate friends during his
stay in this city: ~
In Lake Village, Chicat county, Ark. on Mon
day last, two white men killed W. G.. Wynn, q
himself there. The murder grew out Of political
discussion during the late election in that county
Intense excitement prevails, and hundreds OF
armed men are pouring into the town. 1t IL feared
The murderers will be taken from the Jail and
lynched. set. .Nfa- lfflts7fr-l "

QUEEN ELIZABETH.-In Paul HeintZner's
"Travels," 1893, is the following description:
"She was said to be fifty-five years old. Her
face was rather long, white, and somewhat
wrinked; her eyes small, black, and gracious;
her nose somewhat bent, her lips compressed;
her teeth black from eating too much sugar..
She had earrings of pearls, red hair (but arti-
fciai,t and wurc a small Crown. Her breast
was uncovered las is the case with all mn.
married ladies in England), and round her
neck was chain with precious gems. Her
hands awere graceful, her fingers long. She
was OF middle .size, but stepped on majesti-
cahy. She was gracious and kind in her ad-
dress. The dress she wore was of white silk,
with pearls as large as beans. Her cloak was
OIL black tsilk, with silver lace,.and a long
Tram was carried by a marchioness. She
spoke English, French, and Italian: but she
knew also Greek and Latin, and understood
spanish, Scotch and Dutch. Wherever she
turned her eyes people fell on their knees.
When she came to the door of the chapel,
books were handed to her, and the people
called out, God save the Queen Elizabethp
whereupon the Queen answered, Il thanke
you, myn good peupe.'
Among the spirited repartees and impron,p-
tues OF the Queen which have descended To
our time is her ingenious evasion of a direct
answer to theological question respectinS
the sacrament of the Lords supper. On be.
ing asked by a Popish priest whether She al
iowed tne real presence, she replied:
Christ was the word that spake 1t;
ne TOOK the break and brake it;

Is 1t A SWindIe ?

We publish the following for all con-
cerned. 1t was received from the
Meadville, {Pa.) Republican,:
We have received an order from
Moore, Howard & Co., 5I7 Locust
street, Philadelphia, asking us to in
sert an advertisement of one II. A.
Carly, 3l5 Chestnut st. The adver-
tisement has not been inserted, but in
formation from Philadelphia STATES
that 10 such party as Moore, Howard
& Co., can be found at 5l7 Locust
street, and no one in the building
knows any thing about them. II. A.
Carly is located at 3l5 Chestnut ST.,
but it is stated in the letter referred to
that the space on Chestnut ST., from
3I3 to 32l is occupied by First Nation
al Bank. 1t is our duty to let publish
ers know the result Of our inquiries,
and we have therefore done it. There
is at least one first class agency in
Philadelphia-tliat of Coe, Wctlierill
s. Co. We have done business with
them for two or three years, and have
always got good rates and prompt pay
ment. There may be others equally as
good, but We name this firm because
we can speak of them from personal
knowledge. Publishers may fill up
Il cir columns with uncertain or bogus
advertisements, and save setting type,
by curtailing their leading matter; but
experience newspaper men know that
such a course will end universally in
financial disaster.

PARISH GOVERNMENT.

In his recent message to the Legisla-
ture Governor Warmoth recommended
that the present Police Jury system be
abolished, and that the Parishes be
placed under the government Of a
Board of Commissioners to be appoint
ed by the Governor. In accordance
with this recommendation bill has
been introduced in the House Of Re-
representatives. to carry his recommen-
dation into effect.
We cannot see the reason of this
The Parishes have all made their own
selections of their local governors, and
while they may have occasionally made
improper ones, i'll the main they are
doubtless as good as circumstances Will
allow, being made by the voters them
selves from among their neiShbors
whom they know to be qualified for the
position. To undo all this work, al
ready done by the people, would be
exceedingly improper, and would Gre
ate confusion throughout the State
The Police Jury system has been long
known to the State, and we have new
or vet heard that it works any worse
than any ordinary mode of Parish leg
isIation.
We fear that the Governor has been
influenced in this matter by over zeal
Gus Office seekers within the pale of his
own party. An executive appointment
of local administrators would end in
making political engine of the office,
to the great detriment and injury of
the interests of each Parish. While
politics may have entered, to no III
considerable extent, into the election
of the Police Jury, yet we venture to
say that the present system is more
free from political influences than any
one that is likely to supplant it.
For these reasons we hope the Exec
utive and the Legislature will desist
from any further efforts to change a
system which has worked so well. We
arc confident that Il majority OF the
people are opposed to any change.
