NELLY IS 4 NICE GIRL.

[Wash'ton Cor. indianapolis Journal.1
For tho information OF my young
lady friends, 1 must say that Miss
Nellie Grant was the plaincst dressed
and most wcll-bred young lady there.
Her gown was tarlatan or French
muslin, made with 81 de1ni-train and
oranamented with natural flowers.
Her hair was arranged ina simple knot,
high shell comb being the only orn;l-
ment. The best evidence Of her good
ness Of heart was the Number OF young
girls that clustered around her, and the
attentions ofthe gentlemen We're receiv-
ed with quiet dignity and grace. She
seemed to have no fancy for bellcdom;
and, talking to one gentleman at a
time, was polite to all. The contrast
with the excess Of manner and love of
adulation that characterized the Wash
ington young lady OF society, was really
refreshing. 1 do not know if it IS some
thing i'll the air, but there is Il society
manner here that is in wretchcu taste
when put on by young girls. 1t is not
exactly 4 simple or Il smirk, with a
nincing voice and walk, bat an alIcc-
tation OF maturity and gracicusness that
amounts to abandon aud cifrOn terry.
1t is ABSOLUTELY refreshing to meet Il
Well-brcd, sensible young lady.

BEGGING LETTERE.

George Peabody had (, dismal expo
rience with a letter begging fraternity,
which he had good reasons 10 believe
constituted tho large portion Of the
human race, but the fnM,i:s patent med
1cinc man, Holloway, who has made
sixty millions ofuollar5 III traffic, enjoys
a personal experience quite tho equal
OF his Crocsus-lile predecessor. 1t is
astonishing to what depths OF -sclfIc-
graduation some people Will descend, in
order to get Il chance to get money.
People beg ofIIolloWay tor every i,nag-
Unable want or device: to help them
into business, to help them to marry, to
relive their fc" years on earth, TO bring
out q poem or inveutiun, to GenOn-
stTate genius and worth in an incaIc,l-
liable number Of forms, and for What
they could not but be ashamed to ask
if they were forced to stand up openly
and do it. Holloway is finding out
what q perfect bore too much money is.
OF course everybody knows he cannot
spend it on himself, and consequently
supposcs he accumulated it Oh purpose
to give away to lazy idle boggars.

and its declaration CT tho result was
legally proclaimed.
Ill. ~ Returning Board which had
been abolished made out Il list of
members of the Legislature which it
pretended had been elected, without
having a single election return before it,
and in violation of valid injunctioh;
from State Courts restraining it from
making u canvass without having the
returns.
IN. y district judge OF the United
States issued an invalid injunction re-
straining the Legislature legally dcclar-
cd elected from meeting.
v. The Same judge issued An illegal
order directing persons designated as
Clerks of the two branches Of the Leg
islaturc, TO call only the rolls of mem
hers elect specified by him; and such
only participated in the organizations
VI. The same Judge also issued an
Illegal order directing the Marshal of
OF tho United States for that district to
take possession OF the State House, and
exclude from entrance and from partic-
ipation in the organization Of the Leg
islature of persons other than those
named by him.
VII. The President OF the United
States unlawfully directed tho Marshal
to carry these illegal orders into effect,
and detailed Il military force for that
purpose.
VIII. Nojudicial decisions have been
rendered sustaining the validity of the
canvass ofthc Lynch board, OF the
Marshal, Of the President, or of the

and the parishes Of Morehouse and Qua
chita in Louisiana, their respective
county sites falling nearly on straight
limo. These are Pine Bluff, Star City,
Monticello, Hamburg, Bastrop and
Monroe. This line would follow Bayou
Bartholomew from its head to its
mouth, mot leaving it more than eighteen
miles for q distance on n direct line OF
about $50 miles. About eQui-distant
on tho right of this limo is the Saline,
and after it's confluence the Ouachita
river.
The land along these streams and
their tributaries is perhaps the best
cotton-growing land In the State, and
Arkansas, 1t will be remembered, is
the most productive cotton State in the
Union. This cotton region has to de-
pend on tho market almost entirely for
provisions, agricultural implements,
forage and manufactured goods. These
are now obtained from every point OF
the compass. We have to ship ou1
cotton in one direction and obtain our
supplies from another. Tho people
want to trade with st. Louis. It would
be most convenient to sell and buy at
the same blaze. II the people Of st

OF one thing we arc quite certain,
and that is, there is not either soldier
or IN officer in the United States Army
who will not say if he had Il son who
was an officer of the grade OF End Lieu
tenant, and he wanted that son to be-
come q great soldier and to DO admired,
he would never send that son on q
pleasure trip to Europe In govern
nlent vessel, and then take him from
tho line OF tilc-closcrs, brcvet him as
lieutenant Colonel and assign him to
duty on the staff of the Lieutenant Gen
cral, when thousands Of privates and
hundreds Of fighting Lieutenants might
justly complain Of ingratitudc to them
who had lifted the father from obscu-
rity and poverty to e,nineucc and
wealth.

as President, with the Homer Masonic
range of studies has been as extensive as

OF instruction has been to inpart Il thorough

ASSASSINATION OF AN OLD CITIZEN,

.
Hon. w. B. Mcdonald, of the south
western portion OF Jackson parish,
while undressing to go to bed at the
hotel In Vernon, on Sunday night, was
shot through the window of his room,
six buck-shot taking effect in his abdo-
men, from which death cnsucd in
about one hour. The room is in the
lower story of the house, with the
window, through which the charge
passed, at the end Of tho room and some
thirty PAGES from the street. Different
persons, arriving from Vernon, agree
in stating that no satisfactory clue to
the identity of the assassin, or to the
cause of this bloody deed, has suggested
itself, Or been discovered, by the citi-
zens Of Vernon.
Mr.. Mcdonald had resided in Jack
son some twenty-si1 years, and was
planter in good circumstances. He had
several times been in the Police Jury
OF the parish, and in the first legislature
after the war represented his parish in
part in the lower house. Up to 1869,
we believe it was, he acted with the
Democrats, and then by degrees veered
around to the Republican party, and
in the last campaign was {. warm sup
porter of the Grant and Kellogg ticket.
Personally, he was man Of great
strong convictions, a vigorous mind and
q bearing natural to such IL temporal
mcnt. He had talzcn an active part in
organizing the new parish Of Lincoln,
with tho view, it appears, OF adding to
the southern portion OF Jackson from
adjoining parishes on that border and
thus noccssitating change OF the par
isl, site.
We state all those points fully and
| nkly,-adding that Mr.. Mcdonald,
strong in his friendship, was equally
strong in his opposition to those whom
! he had reason to disliilc,---in order to
answer, as far :,s ono's history can, the
very natural question which every
reader will ask, in a case like this, What
cause could there be for his assassina-
ZION we are, cuf5eil, wholly III u loss
| to conjecture what anront to any one
MT. Mcdonald could offer, that would
| warrant such II dastardly act, or to &C
count for his death thus, In any way,
except that tho pcrpctrator is q man
| who would take life without any cause
at all. a most respectable family
wife, sons and daughters-i,as been
cruelty and brutality brought to woe,
and a prominent citizen hurried, with
out warning, into tho grave, in q man
ner revolving to even savage nature.
The people Of Jackson are not the
people to permit this rci-handcd act to
rcbuke.

The Short Ali-Ruil Route From 1t. Louis
TO New Orleans.

-Four years, or moro, ago, the TEI.E-
| GRAPH first called attention to railroad
communication between St. Louis and
| Now Orleans, via Alexandria, Monroe,
| Pine Bluff, IIittio Rock and the Iron
Mountain, and the Cairo and Fulton
v:ltages Of sttch Il line, particularly III
! the fact that it is the inside ahI tc-oVcr-
flow route, and that it travcrses from
Pine BluT'tr ..sNundriu, the unoccu-
pied Link ofthc general route, Il country
whose folds Of cotton, forests Of pine
and other timber, and whose demands
for western produce, would alone sup
port roilroau. Since that timc, Little
Rock has bccl. put in railroad commit
nication with st. Louis and consiucrG-

intermediate link between AlcNandri;,
and Pine Bluff is still unoccupicd,
while threatening preparations of n,

of this place, are quietly going ahead
with fair prospects of reaching n reality.
We lay before our readers, from the

Ihcro seems to be good ground for
suspicion that Foster took poison the
night before his execution. Tho i'm
preston is that Foster took opium
about o'clock on the morning Of the
execution. Some assert that this may
have bccn taken to influence his ner-
vous system, but therc is evidence that
the dose was sufficient to produce death
had the execution been stayed IN hour
later.

the Kellogg usurpation. They say moi

Mrs. Gaines has gained Il suit i'll the
U. S. Supreme Court for 1925, 22G, the
amount due for rents on lands in the
use and possession Of the city OF New

be a good idea for the Fusion govern
mcnt to employ Mrs. Gaines to prose-
cute it's rights before the Supreme
Court. II she could not get the case up,
we would then believe that the :,ttor-
MICS of New Orleans understand ,rac-
tice in tho Federal Courts.
1t is said that, Know one woman by

Know all men by these presents.
Now, why cannot all the men OF LOU
