The Straiqhtouters |

A call says The Is,rebonne Banner
"has been issued by the Straighou'
Democrats, for a G Convention, to mee'
in the city Of New Orleans, to nomi'
nate an O'Conor and Adams electo'
raj ticket" The following names
the same paper adds, are suggested
as suitable persons for electors
"Ex-Gov. r. G. Wicklife, of Yves,
Fe|iciana r. A. Hunter, of Rnpides
J. r. Head, Of Bienville E. G. Kel-
ley, Of Orleans ; W. R. Boote, o.
lberville."
Since Mr.. Wickli6e uttered in the
Democratic Convention that he
would "uever, never, support Mr..
Greeley" we have doubted his 10y
atty to the Democratic party and
the above serves to convince us that
he has gone over to the enemy.

The Patr,ot- Democrat, OF Clinton,

The practice is common among
some of our merchants to patronize
transient steamboats,, because of the
reduction in the freigAts. They may
think that by following such policy
they receive pecuniary reward. They
are simply mistaken. They drive from
our TRACE regular packets who are
always willing to take freight at liy-
ing rates, and are thereby compelled
at times to submit to The outragos;
charges of those boats who have
thus trapped them.

FROM THE PARISHES.

FROM THE PARISHES.
On the eve of the State elections
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
Mr.. Abbott, editor of The Straight
ont Republican, published at Provi.
dence, Carroll Parish, sent the news
over the wires that his office had
been mobbed and destroyed by Dem.
ocrats and party opponents. The
following contradictory article is
taken from The Carrot Republican,
published in the same town
"The partial destruction of the
straightout newspaper Office, on Sat-
urday night last, created no little
town talk, and it has now become
the firm conviction of every one,
that the owners and stockholders
were the parties that did the dam
age.
The owners, Of course talked q
good deal, and blamed every one
that could be Thought O. al the time.
li'ov were going to sue the Pciists
for the """1 sum Of Ten Thousand
Dollars. The law of 1868 hearing,
upon such cases, WAS looked mp by
tine urgans l:y local shyster-but he
Was heard to exclaim It's not worth
d-n. But another member Of the
firm thought he was a fool, as they
had planned the job to come rs near
thatof Mr.. Blackbuln's as possible
But you've made Il botch of the
whole plan, and there will be no
chance Of a divide OF the ten thous-
and now.
1t happened that the press was
not destroyed by mob, and if SO,
the general impression is that the
birds Of Elton headed the marau-
ders.
1t was also reported by the organ
grinders on Sunday, that all the par
ties engaged would he arrested, and
that three living witnesses could be
produced to prove their guilt. If
such is the case why is not the evil
dence brought forward, the guilty
parties brought to justice, and all
this fuss brought to a close.
1t is well known fact that Ben
ham has dupes around him both
white and black, that would swear
to anything he ordered--and were
it not for the fear of being indicted
1or perjury, we think probably some
OF our innocent citizens might suffer
through their villainy."
We CLEAN the following item of
crop news from The Iberrille Ncus of
the 18th inst. /:
Sour great saccharine staple prom
ises a larger yield than our planters
dared hoped for, three weeks ago.
The unprecedented drought has un-
injured the crop in al in
calculab]e degree, but by careful
management in cutting and grind
ing, the harm may be measurably
retrieved. Several planters have
commenced cutting, ant! one or two
nave set their mills to work so far as
to produce syrup. Courage, gentle
men Learn to labor and to wait"
and time will bring all things even.
Cotton picking is going on vigorous
~ in those sections of our parish de-
voted to the culture of the fleecy
fibre, and the cultivators rejoice that
mother earth has yielded generous
return for their labor"

wild ducks are plentiful in that town

DOUBLE HOMICIDE At RATLlFF's
LANDING.
George H. Curry and Samuel Jones
the Victims.
Supposed Assassin Arrested.

The details of q horrible crime
reached us yesterday morning.
1t appears that last Sunday, at
about s O'Clock T. NJ, in the neigh
borhood of RatliAf's Landing, II
miles from Bayou Sara, while a col
ored man named Early, in the en-
ploy Of Mr.. Geo. Fl. Curry, was re-
turning home, he was met by white
man named Samuel Jones, who with
ii cooked shotgun ordered him to
divest himself Of bis clothing. Hav-
ing complied with the orders given
by Jones, he was told to so home
and tell Mr. Curry, that if he did not
like it, he would treat him Curry
in the same manner. Unfortunately,
Early on his way home met Mr..
Curry in company with Henry G..
Kingston, and informed him Of what
had been done and said by Samuel
Jones. MIR. Curry went at once in
search Of Jones' and met him about
three hundred yards from the house
Of 5. II. Cotton, father-in-law Of
Samuel Jones. Mr.. Curry was adj
yisea by Kingston that Jones was
armed, and Suggested that Curry
had better ask Jones to disarn HIM
self. He did so-giving up a Der
ringer pistol to Mr.. Curry. Curry
then informed Jones that he wanted
no controversy with him-that he
must give up the clothes he had
taken from the colored man Early
During the conversation which was
carried on relative to the clothes,
the parties had approached thicket,
and when within sixty or seventy
yeards therefrom, Jones raised his
shotgun above his head and began
praying in a loud voice, which must
have been the signal for Jones' ac-
complete to fire On Curry-as imme-
diately the discharge of a shotgun
was heard and Curry mortally woun-
ded. 1t appears however, that after
receiving the wound which in a few
minutes proved fatal, MIR. Curry
wrenched a shotgun out Of Jones
hands and fired one shot at Jones'.
causing instant death.
In the melee MIR. Curry's horse
WIS i;1loa, and tlat of Kinnytou's
wounded.
Josh D. Cotton, brother-in-law to
Samuel Jones, has been arrested.
charged with completely in the mr,r-
der of Curry, and is now in Jail,
awaiting a preliminary examination.
We learn that this shooting was
the result Of an old feud which had |
existed for sometime between Jones
on one part, and Messrs. George H. |
Curry and Fl. G. Kingston on the
other. Rumors says that Jones had
been watching for Curry for some
time previous to the shooting.
MIR. Curry leaves wife, and sew
eral children in tender years. Saml.
Jones was married about nine
months ago, to a daughter OF Hase
Cotton, formerly a resident Of st.
Erancisyille.
The Coroner, DR.. Wilcox, held an
inquest over the bodies, but not hay
ing returned to town at the time of
closing the report, we are unable to
f,,,,t i.

INV FhtNpNt'ts
Uncle Joe, being "stumpcd' by the
children 10 tell story about hirch
tree, began rs follows:
"There was once lovely Princess
who had fairy for a godmothor. This
young Princess was slender, graceful,
and very fair to behold. She usually
dressed in green, green being her favor
lie color.
This pretty creature would have been
great favprite but for her very troub-
some habit of whispering. She had al.
ways some wonderful news, or seemed
to have, which everybody must hear
privately; so no wonder that she came
to be known,at last by the name Of The
Whisperer.
Now this conduct was very displeas-
ing TO the old Fairy, who, being of a
hasty temper, would often become an
cry and scold and threaten her, though,
when good natured, she would smile
most pleasantly upon her and drop gold
in her path.
The Princess, as may be imagined,
liked to sec herself well dressed, and
every year she saved up the gold which
her godmother had dropped, and spun
and wove herself fine golden mantle.
The Fairy was quite willing to find her
in gold tospin, and all would have gone
well only for the habit above mentioned
which habit, will say in passing, was
very strong upon her in breezy weather.
But one day the old lady, who was,
as has been remarked, of rather a hasty
turn, became so provoked that she lost
all patience with the Whisperer, and
touching her with her wand, changed
her, quick as thought, to slender green
| troe.'
Now stand there, and whisper to tho
winds' cried the angry Fairy.
And sure enough she did. The pret-
ty, graceful tree did stand and whisper
to the winds ever after, but always
saved up sunshine enough, through the
long summer days, to weave for itself q
| golden mantle, and when decked in
that was as pleased as tree could be, to
see itself so fine.
"And that's the way,so I've been told"
said Uncle Joe, laughing, "that birch
trees began. Go into the woods any
time when theresa light breeze stirring
and you may hear them, whispering,
whispering, whispering They never
fail, however, to save up sunshine
enough through the long summer days
to weave for themselves fine golden
mantles. But these fine golden man.
ties are sure to b. spoiled by n rough
old king who comes this way every
year, stOrming and raging and making
great bluster. He gives them white
ones instead, bnt they are not so pretty.
Say, my little children do you know
who this old king is ?"-.OW Young

POULTRY KEEPING.-There a

POULTRY KEEPINa.-There are
many women who, especially within
the last half dozen years while the price
of eggs has been so high, make money
much faster by feeding poultry than by
sewing. 1t is an occupation suited to
women, because in requires patience
and constant attention to details, rather
than strength. Then again the hardest
thing for many men to learn in hand
ling either poultry or bees is gentleness.
How many times we have seen boys
jerk hens roughly from their nests,
enter the poultry house abruptly and
frighten the occupants till they rush in
fluttering mass into the farthest cor
ner, and keep the poultry community
in constant agitation and distress. But
all domestic animals appreciate the
manner of woman attendants when
they are fortunate enough to be cared
for by them. Now that there are wo-
men gardeners and florists who by COM
mendable industry and business quail.
ties have risen to eminence in those
callings, and while one of the most
successful, if not the most successful
bee keeper in the whole country is a
woman, we hope to see others give poul.
try more attention than it has hitherto
received. Aside from profit, the keep
ing of fine poultry for fancy is an ele-
CANT pastime, very popular with Eng.
lsh ladies, and we see no reason why
the fashion should not be adopted here.

A HINT To GRUMBLERs.--''Wh a
noisy world this isW croaked an old
frog, as he squatted on the margin of
the pool. "DO you hear those geese,
how they scream and hiss? What do
they do it for?"
70, just TO amuse Themselves an
swered little field.mouse.
presently we shall have the owls
hooting; what is that for?
ut is the music they liko best" said
the mouse.
"And those grasshoppers, they can't
go home without grinding and chirp-
ing; why do they do that 2"
80, they're so happy they can't help
it," said the mouse.
"You find excuses for all 1 believe
you don't understand music, so you like
the hideous noises.'
"Well, friend, to be honest with you,n
said the mouse, 81 don't greatly admire
any OF them but they are all sweet in
my ears, compared with the constant
croaking of frog"
