DEATH IN PRIsoN.-Bolts and bars on
prison doors are no obstacles to the grim
visitor. He glided into the Parish Prison
Thursday night, when all was silent, and
sent his terrible shaft into John Ross, alias
John Dimitry, who was incarcerated on
conviction of larceny committed on the
Fair Grounds. Hiding the failing of steal
ing, he was regarded as good jolly fellow,
always ready to divide his last dollar with
those who stood in great need of it.

The spirit of Liberalism had spread like
wildfre throughout the country, uniting
the conservative sentiment of the country
in one grand effort to redeem the admins

eminent This spirit was hailed by the
people of this State as harbinger Of peace
and honesty, uniting upon the broad plat
form adopted at Cincinnati. The Liberal
party of Louisiana, burying past prejudices
and political animosities, sought to unite in
a common cause men of all parties who are
now opposed to Grantism and Africaniza-
ton.

The sentence was never finished The
old man, while his tormentor was speak
ing, had gradually approached him, and
with the suddeness of q tiger had leaped
upon and caught him by the throat. The
struggle was a desperate one. Banton
had managed TO draw his knife, and
while the Colonel held him by the throat,
had plunged it into the body of the lat
ter. But the grip was not relaxed, and
Banton was growing weaker every mo-
ment. The knife fell from. his hands,
and the elder man seized it, and with
the strength of desperation, stabbed him
to the heart. A crowd came hurrying
in and found the corpse of Banton, the
Colonel dying from the wound received,
and Marie in death-like swoon.
The old man fingered for about an
hour, and his daughter, now revived, but
weak and fearful, sat down beside him
while he told the mystery of his life in
brief and broken sentences. His wife,
the mother of his darling Marie, had
proved false to him many years ago,
when Marie was but an infant Mad
with rage, in moment of great passion
he had struck her down and killed her.
He, Colonel Martineau, was the muir
derer of his wife, the mother of his dar-
ling. None had seen the deed but Ban
ton, who was then his butler. From
Banton he had fed, but he pursued him
over land and sea. He would not have
his great crime known while he was
living, for he feared his daughters love
would turn to hate, and that we're worse
than death. And this was why he toll

a kentuckian and a yankee were
once riding through the woods, the
former on a fine black horse, and
the latter wanted to ''sWap," but he
did not not see how he was to do it.
At last he thought of a plan. His
horse had been taught to sit down
like dog whenever he was touched
by the spurs. Seeing a wild turkey
he made his horse do this trick, and
asserted that he was pointing game,
as was his custom. The Kentuck-
ian rode in the direction indicated
by the horses nose, and up rose a
turkey. That set tied the matter;
the trade was made, and saddles and
horses were changed. After a time
they came to a deep and rapid
stream, over which the black horse
carried his rider with ease. But
the Kentuckian on the Yankees old
beast, found great difficulty in get
ting over, and when he had reached
the middle of the stream he was
afraid the horse would allow him
self to be carried away, and endeav-
ored to spur him up TO more vigor-
Gus action. Down sat the horse on
his launches.
"Look here ~ shouted the enraged
and partially submerged Kentuck-
ian to the Yankee on the other side
of the stream. 'I want 70 know
what's the matter with this horse?''
Stranger" cried the Yankee pre-
pairing to ride away, that there

he will at fOWls"
