WInterin England has not been mild,
nor hasty in departing. The newspapers
report "thunder-storms, with showers of
hail and snow" in different parts of the
country during the first days of this
month, and on the 18th there was quite a
snow fall i'll London, and one of the
heaviest snow-storms ever known in
March was reported in Yorkshire.

Clarkson begged to be allowed to
lay before him some Afican prod
uctions; and they were brought from
the next room. They included nat
i've manufactures of cotton, leather,
gold, and iron. Pitt examined them
with interest, and spoke with emot-
ion.

people, Mr.. Clarkson. We owe
them debt for the miseries ne have
aided to bring upon them. 1t would
be worthy Of England to bestir herself
for the civilization of Africa
Then, after sitting silent for some
time, - much moved, Clarkson
thought he dismissed him with a
few brief words of kindness and
encouragement.
Doubts have been cast on Pitts
sincerity in this matter. I know
that Lord Brougham was incruduous
as to his earnest desire for abolition.
But Clarkson told me that he re-
garded him as a firm friend of the
Africaa to the last. The above
interview took place in 1888; and
before the close Of that year Pitt
caused to be made to the French
government a communication in which
he urged union of the two coun-
tries to abolish the slaye-trade.
But the answer from France was
untavorable; and as the correspond
ence was not made public at the time
few persons knew that it had taken
place. Pitt kept his word, also, to
MIR, Clarkson, giving him access at
all times. and furnishing him with
many important documents which
could only be had by government
owner.
''He was true to the cause, Clark
son said to me, "from the early years
of our great struggle till his death in
1906. lie did not live to see the
Abolition Bill passed; yet had it not
been for his assistance at critical
moments, we might not have sue
ceeded IN passing iteven to this day."

Last Wednesday morning Mr.. G..
T. Bowles, special deputy Sheriff from
Natchez, Miss, arrived here with a
reqaisition for the bodies of the two
men arrested last week upon the
charge of having murdered colored
man in ,Natchez some weeks since.
The prisoners were delivered to the
officer by our Sheriff, and have been
conveyed to Mississippi There can
be no doubt of the guilt of the accused,
as Mr.. Bowles stated one of them is
wearing the boots and shirt of the
murdered man. We hope the fends
will be made to suffer the penalty
prescribed for their foul crime.

The river and bayou have been rap
idly rising during the past two weeks
and the water seems bent upon reach
ing the base of the leyee before paus-
ing in its upward course. Considera-
BILE apprehension is exhibited by our
Smoke Bend neighbors lest their
broken levee shall not be repaired in
time to prevent an overflow. We
think their fears are altogether un-
neeessary, as the river seldom rises TO
the levee before spring, stillit is time
5he contractors were moving in the

chronicle the commencement of the
work of building the new Ievee, and
are at q loss to account for the delay.

Rice is world wide, for nearly half a

land his inimitable talent as circus
clown has been illustrated.
Let old and young go to the great
Circus of Dan Rice, on Wednesday,
the 31st. The treat there in store
for them is truly rich one. The won
derful blind talking horse Excelsior
will positively perform, as he is not
dead as reported, but living. The
best gymnasts of the age will be there,
to thrill the audience with their won
derful performances. The best bare
back horse-rders an the world, male

of their surprising skill. It would be

ceive his patrons. All should go, who
would not miss an entertainment
which can rarely be seen more than
once in lifetime.

Christmas, like all holidays, passed
off quietly in Donaldsonville, and
with the exception of a little popping
offre- crackers by the juveniles, it seem
ed much the same as other days do. Of
course there was an unusual FREEDOM
nance of turkey and chicken fxings
at the tables of our inhabitants, and a
general reinforcement of the supplies
of children's toys, as this is what
Christmas is for. New Years will be
along in about q week, according to
our almanac, and then we shall have
more of the same sort of thing. We
hope none of our readers suffered from
having absorbed too much Christmas
turkey into their systems, and that
the same good fortune may attend
them in their discussion of New Years
dinner.
