Kisses.

Tho kiss has been o powerful agent in
the annals Of the human race. There have
h.en kisses like those of Antony and Cleo
natra. of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn,
which have shaken an empire or destroyed
a religion. If We knew the secret history
of courts, We should probably learn that
nations have been created or erased by the
magic touches of woman's lips. a great
problem, therefore, lies before ms. Has this
discovery proved an affection or . blessing
IN mankindf Probably the latter; for it
has certainly increased the influence of wo-
man. and the influence of woman is employ
ed more for good than for Ill. Beloved, ten
der. hearted women, companions and con
solers of our life! With kiss you welcome
the infant to the world; with kiss you be-
stow on soft-cheeked yotiths the raptures
of first love; with kiss you alleviate the
anoony of death. And what alas are the
kisses which men too often give you IN re-
turni Judas kisses, treacherous and fatal,
which poison innocent hearts, and turn TO
curses on painted and despairing lips Hap
DIV are they who can remember without re-
morse the kisses of their youth Ne1

the engineers and their assistants left for
Point Lookout, where the caving is rapid,

to be done. We are pleased to See prepare

A Bad Boy.

They say that the chief astronomer at
the Washington Observatory was dreadful
" sold q few days ago. A wicked boy,
whose Sunday school experience seems on
ly to have made him more deprayed, caught
q FREELY and stuck it, with the aid Of some
mucilage, in the centre of the largest lens
in the telescope. That night, when the as
tronomer went to work, he percelved
blaze of light, apparently in the heavens,
aud what amazed him more was that it
would give a couple of spurts and then die
ont, only to burst forth again in sec
ond or two. He examined it carefully for
a few moments, and then began to do sums
to discover where in the heavens that ex-
traordinary star was placed. He thought
he found the locality, and the next morn
ing he telegraphed all over the universe
that he had discovered a new and remarka-
BILE star of the third magnitude in Orion.
In a day or two all the astronomers in Eng.
land ard America were studying Orion, and
they gezed at it for hours until they were
mad, and then they began to telegraph 70
the man in Washington to know what ne
ment. The discoverer took another look
and found that the new star had moved
about eighteen billion miles in twenty -fouI
hours, and upon examining 1t closely III
was alarmed to perceive that 1t had legs
When he went on the dome next morning
to polish up his glass, he found the light
ming bug. People down 30 Alexandria, sew
en- miles distant, heard part of the swear
| ing, and they say he infused into 1t muci
whole-souled sincerity and vigorous energy
The bills photographic dispatches amount
| ed to $1,000, and now the astronomer want
| to find that boy. He wishes to consult Will
him about something-[ Mar Adeter.

since publishiny an account of the fight
in Old Grand Prairie, st. Landry parish,
we have been furnished with few facts,
from which we make mp the following: j..
Rem aud Sazcrac Guillory, both sons OF
.Auvustiu (;uillory, were under Indictment
for the murder of Nc Daniel, two years ago,
for which Angals Prudhomme was tired ut
the last term of district court, found guilty
of murder without capital punishment, and
s,nt.nccd To the penitentiary for life, where
he Ia now serving ont his sentence. The
(,uilhry bows. however, being OF more
Desperate ami daring character, escaped
the vengeance Of the law and settled on a
farm in Catahoula parish, about i3o miles
from Opelousas.
Last Tuesday. tlsc nineteenth instant,
Deputy Sheriff Dusin organized a posse OF
men and started for Catahoula parish
with the intention of arresting and bring
ing to Justice these vioiafors OF the law.
They arrived ut their destination early the
following morning, and stationed tnen'-
selves near the house. Presently, one ofthe
6rotbers. unconscious of the presence OF
the Officers. came out Of the house and start
ed for the barn. The deputy sheriff was by
hia side in an instant, and ordered him ia
surreuder, which he proceeded to do in q
yery roundabout way, with many words
and backing toward the house. The broth,
or in tho house, hearing loud talking anu
guessing the cause, stepped to the window
and fred two shots at the officer, without
effect. The one under arrest continued HI,
backward motion and, on refusing to stand
when ordered to do SO by the officer, wa
shot. The other brother attempted to maxi
his escape by back door, but was fired up
on that side of the house and also killed.
These two men were the last Of the Gull
lory family, We understand. The lathe
and one son having been killed at the hgh
in Old Grand Prairie.
