A NEWSPAPER man of St. Louis was
pointing out, on map Of New York
city, the spot where he resided before
coming there. "The peoplew with whom
you stopped were sorry to part with
you, were they not?'' inquired an
acquaintance. "Of course they were"
responded this frank newspaper chap,
and they wouldn't part with my trunk
at all they had an attachment for that
trunk. Yes" he continued musingly,

The recent amendment to the Homestead
Act, under which the veterans of our late
Army and Navy can secure free homesteads
of $50 acres near the lines of the great land
grant railroads, by one or two years resi-
dencc, instead of five, is very naturally at
tracing much attention among the soldiers
and sailors. Colonies are forming in many
parts of the country for the purpose of TAX
ing advantage OF the new law, while at the
same time rcaping all the advantages of
moving west in organized communities.
The construction of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, now comnleted through Mime
sofa, has opened to settlers a large body of
the best land in the West. This Company
offers very important facilities and advantage
to soldiers and others seeking Western
homes, whether they intend to settle on
Government homestcads or purchase the
Company's land. Its announcement is
published elsewhere in this journal.-[Com

Governor warmoth of Louisiana
was Oh the fiooreOf the house to-day.
He expected to return to New York in
a day or two, and will start from there
for Louisiana in about a fortnight.
When asked if he intended to go to-
the Cincinnati convention, he said he
could not tell at present, and that it
would depend upon circumstances.
The st. Louis Times says editorially: 3.
1t, is clear the administration is
alarmed with regard to its prospects
in Louisiana. Several events during
the past week have made this decided,
ly CONSPICUOUS. The chief of these
events is the withdrawal Of the APP
plicatiOn of John M. G. Parker for the
position of surveyor of New Orleans,
which was photographed, last night.
This follows closely upon the with
drawal of George W. Carriers applica-
ton for the same position, and the
noticeable feature of the action OF
each is the recommendation that the
office shall be given to some: represen;;
tative cOlored man of the State, anu
that further and more generous DIS
tribution of offices to that wing OF the
| Radical party in Louisiana shall take
place. The conyention of CRANES
PARTY in Kentucky refused to make "a
4 recommendation for that State; the
colored element was entirely ignored
by them in Kansas, and Missouri only
gave them back seats as alter
mates, but in Louisiana it found
| necessary to employ entirely differen nj
tactics. When brother-in-law Of
Ben Butler sacrifices his office for a
negro, or any one else, there is nc
doubtthe case is desperate. - -

Louis Democrat says:

. going on, and in the scramble for thu
nomination against Grant the illus
u tIious Chief Justice will not fail to ap
pear. Efforts for a convention in hi
s. favor at Parkersburg, Virginia, are vi

A Washington special to the st.

The state of affairs in Louisiana is
causing trouble in the administration.
Governor Warmoth's interview with
the President to-day was not at all
assuring to the latter, and when, Par
ker and Carter called Grant was
thrown entirely ont of temper. The
first result of all this will be the with
drawal of Parkers nomination as sur

it to some col0red man.. The need OF

Panther in a Ship.

A NICE PLACE FOR A LAZY MAN

An exciting story is brought by
the overland mail. Tie vessel Glen
aryney, when leaving the Straits, took
on board one of the largest specimens
of the black panther The animal was
secured in iron cage-house, suff-
GENTLY strong, it was thought. for its
Conveyance to Calcutta. When in
the Straits of. Malaeca. screams were
heard from the passengers, in the.
tween decks, numbering some 300
men, Women and children; these were
followed by pellmen rush upon deck,
The panther had got clear of its cage
and found its way down to the tween
decks. 1t had been disporting itself
over the PROSTATE forms OF the three
hundred slumbering passengers for
some minutes before its presence be-
came known. Every available means
of exit were thrown open, and all the
passengers got on deck inssafety when
the matches and companions were
again closed, and the panther left in 3
undisputed and solitary possession OF
the tween decks. One man alone ap-
beared to have suffered from the claws
of tile animal, a large strip of skin and
flesh having been torn from his back.
Various accounts, of the behavior OF
the animal while below were given by
those who had seen him, but most con-
CURED in saying that after gamboilpg
over the sleeping bodies as described,
when the alarm was given and the
shouts and screams were heard, he
had made one OF two frightened
springs from one end sof tile deck 70
the other. 1t was concluded. that the
animal must have jumped out of the
port into the sea, for he could not be
| found. da' ~
The steamer arrived next day at
Penang; the passengers settled down
in their quarters as before, and she
started the same sevening for Cal
