IL seems that ever since the LIST instant skir-
mishing has been going on almost daily between

appointed by Governor Kellogg, who had. in
accordance with their Instructions, taken pos
McEneryites. 1t IS claimed by the Me J sqS
faction that after the colored supporters OF
Kellogg seized the court house they committed
number of outrages on the whites, many OF
whom they robbed, and some of whom they
drove out OF town, among them one Mr. II adj
not, who determined to have revenge. These
accounts were evidently greatly exaggers ted.

besieged party, wounding several, of whom was

treated ON the outside OF the breastworks, and
as the only means OF dslodging the negroes the
courthouse was set on fire, and they were shot
as they came from the burning building. 1t is
reported that between eighty and

l4I The Fifth Revolution
was the return Of Napoleon and his entry into
Paris on the 30th Of March, 1915. The return was
by the reclamation OF the military
and the lower classes, but the great body Of the
citizens looked on silent and ast0unded. He was
recalled by party, but not by the nation. A few
months after Waterloo followed, ana that put an
end to the career OF the great Napoleon.
