During the Franco-Prussia war it
was estimated that, averaging both ar
mics, five Germans outweighed six
Frenchmen. Not only are the Germans
huge compared with F~renchmen, but
huge as compared with their own an
cestOrs. The Prussiansoldier who fought
at Sedan averaged three inches larger
around the chest and, two inches taller
than the Prussiap soldier who fought at
Waterloo. This astonishing develop
ment is ascribed to fifty years Of 'strin-
gent military training, enforced upon
the whole male population.

HoRRIBLE AssAssINATIoN.-A wild
cat feeling slightly Hnwell, determined
to call on one of our most celebrated
physicians, living in the most popul0us
portions of our town so on the evening"
Of the 26th inst, in broad daylight, he
walked up to the Doctors gate and
"mewed" for admittance. The Doctor
walked out to see his patient. A few
signs passed between the two, such as a
slight paleness creeping over the Doc
tors face, and a rising of the hair ON the
Cats back, when the Doctor begged to
be excused for a moment to mix the ne
cessary pills. He walked into his house,
mixed the dose which consisted Of salt
peter and lead, and handed the samepo.
Iitely to his patient ont of the muzzle of
his fifty thousand doIlargun. The crit
ter received it kindly, at least he likedit
SO well he concluded to remain pePpa-
nently with the Doctor. The eat meas
ured ~forty-eight inches long and thirty
two inches high.
Two OF our e0lored citizens, Oh Sun
day aight, became engaged in an alter
cation which resulted in a challenge. A
place was selected, seconds called upon,
and al tho preliminaries arranged for
an immediate encounter. Messrs. Noel
Zeno and joe - were the principals,
and Lloyd CAN'T and Joseph Munroe the
seconds. After arriving on the ground,
which was within the corporation, apar-
ley ensned between theprincipals to the
disgust of the seconds, who wanted to
see de fight and muffin else, which re-
suited ian an agreement to consult then
wives as to whether it would be proper
to expose their precious bodies To he

Letter from Colonel Boyd.

We copy from the Clinton Patriot
Democrat thefO following letter, addressed
to Captain G.. r. Cornelius, from Colo
mel d. F. Boyd, superintendent of the
Louisiana State University, and dated
the second instant:
DEAR Sm-KnOwing that you feel a
self-interest in the welfare of our
school, as one Of the public institutions
OF Louisiana, l will tell you and others
of leading citizens that the uni
versity is in bad condition and needs all
the personal assistance you a render
it.
It is useless to go into details to ex-
plain why the school is not prosperous,
or to attempt to say how it can be made
so. Every Intelligent LOuiSianian, and
must know it's history and its wants
what it is and what it aims to be. 1t is
enough to say that the State and our
people, on account of the poverty of
both, have not been able to maintain
the university as vas intended ; that
the institution is SOmuch buTdenGd
with debt that it is almost impossible to
preserve its present very efficient or
SANITATION, its large and able faculty
and fine facilities generally for instruc-
ton, unless help comes from some
quarter, and that very soon. The only
assistance we, can recently expect is
that which is easiest given and most
desired-private patronage. The Uni
versity has a large number of State
students. They were intended as it's
main stay for a number of years, but
the inability Of the State to defray their
expenses makes them a burden, of
which the institution must soon be re-
lieved, or it will be ruined.
Even the temporary suspension Of
the University would be a great mis-
fortune ; it would check the progress of
education in Louisiana for years to
come. But why admit the possibility Of
even temporary suspension. If we all
but half do our duty to the school, it
will ever prosper. If every intelligent
maR in Louisiana would but give the
institution a serious thought now and
then, and say d word occasionally in its
behalf, its troubles of every nature
would Don be over. It would then
soon appear that Louisiana has a good
school of her own, and that it is the in
terest, as well as the duty Of every MAJ
in the State to uphold it-patronize it.
May wenot hope, my dear sir, that you
will use your influence in inducing yOur
friends and acquaintances to send us
their sons to educate?

MORE ABOUT LAURA FA1R.-A dis
patch from San Francisco, dated No
Vember 92d, says:
A sensation has been caused here by
the publication of an alleged plot be-
tween Laura D. Fair and a restaurant
waiter named Frank to poison Judge
Dwinelle and Alex. Campbell, counsel
for the people. The waiter, Frank, who
reveals the plot, says it was formed be-
fore Mrs. Fairs second trial. He states
that the lady tried to induce him to put
poison in a decanterin Dwinelle's house,
or in the milk can at the door, and that
this was intended to be done.
A woman went to the latter's house
and told Mrs. Dwinelle not to leave the
milk IA out. The matter was concealed
from the public, but has been inves-
tigated by Chief of Police Crowley,
Judge DWinelle and all the counsel In
case. Some thought the waiter insane,
He had a portrait of Dwinelle in his
possession.
Mrs. Fair remains in the city. The
people are much inccnsed at her proDO-
sitiOn to give public lectures.
