VALUABLE IRON PROPERTY,

We referred some days ago 10 the iron
fields of Cooke county. We believe 1t
affords opportunities for the manufacture
of iron that will soon bring it to the favor
able attention of iron men. We know of
three adjoining tracts of land in Cooke
county containing about eight thousand
acres. The French Broad river forms the
northern boundary for a considerable dis
lance. The &. G. C.. and c. R. II. runs
along the southern bank of the river and
upon these lands. The iron ore of this
land is Of the brown and red hematite.
Magnetic ore is also found upon ii. 1t Is
covered with rich timber, OF white plne,
oak, cherry, walnut, poplar and hickory.
There il bIryta on the lnnd, qpi't 4
quantity of it being regularly shaped
from an adjoining tract. A vein q. plum
bago or black lead has been found, but ITS
extent and quality is not yet fully known.
This valuable property is about thirty
miles south from MorristOwn, and near & G
road, extending from that point TO Nor,h
Carolina. I is now completed to that State

The case of Stokes will come up to-mor-
row on the appeal for n stay Of proceedings
on account of error in the rulings of the
Judge and the illegality of the proceed
ings under which the jury was formed
The chances Of postponement of his exc
cution are considered doubtful, and the
general belief is that Stokes will be hanged
on the day set for execution. An appeal
will be made to the Governor as n last re-
sort, but there is very little probability of
his Interference. Fosters counsel will go
TO Albany next week to present n petition
to the Governor, but their chances of sue
cess are considered doubtful.
In sporting circles many bets are being
made on Stokes and Foster being hanged,
the balance being in favor of their execu-
ton. Men who know Stokes offer to bet
two to one that he will not be hanged, as
they believe he would poison himself rath-

Death Of Lord LyttOn, the Distinguished
Novelist.

Lord Lytton, better known to the world
a5 Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, whose
death is Just announced by cable, was born
Mt Heydon Hay, county Of Norfolk, in
1905. The strong literary tastes of his
mother, who was heiress of the Lyttons
of Knebsunth, HcrtfOrdshire, greatly con-
tributed to the formation of his mind his
father having died when the future Lord
Lytton was yet young. The family from
which Lord Lytton sprung was rich, re-
spectacle and not altogether destitute of
hereditary honors.
LORD LYTTON'S early YEARS AND EnU-
CATION.
Lord Iytton was educated by private
tutors, but afterward entered Trinity Hall,
Cambridge, whore he graduated in 1926.
He gained the Chancellor's prize at the
University for English versifcation, by a
poem on Scripture" in 1925, and the next
year published collection of youthful eff
fusiOns, entitled weeds and Wild Flow
ers." His vacations were occupied by
pedestrian tours through England and
Scotland and jaunt on horseback over a
great part of France But he was always
II man of fashion, and while figuring
among his equals, or those who deemed
themselves such, the sumptuous fellow
cOmmoner of Trinity Hall contrived to
make driving his own horses and other
Juvenile eccentricities compatible with in
tellectual pursuits.
LORD LYTTON'S CAREER AS \ NOVELIST.
The remarkable career of Lord Lytton
as poet and novelist began nearly fifty
years ago. In 1897 he published Il poem
called "O'Neill, or the Rebel, - and in the
same year his first novel, Oakland" APP
peared anonymously. In 1928 pelham"
was published, and, Notwithstanding its
70 pitvin a
versely criticised in many quarters. Al
most every year thereafter he gave the
world some new literary work. But, not
withstandng the difference of opinion
among the critics as TO the merits of his
second novel, for which at first there was
some difficulty in finding a publisher, ii
was generally admitted that the author
was a man of no ordinary powers. When
Pelham had been followed by 1.-THE Dis
owned, - "DevereuX, " paul Clifiordn and
Eugene Aramn Bulwer wisely called a
halt in his career as a novelist, and, for a
time, appeared before the public as editor
of the Netg IfonthLy Magazine. To that
periodical he contributed series of pa
pers, which have since been p lblished in
u collected form, and entitled "The Stu
dent" The reason he assigned for become
ing editor was peculiar. At least he is re,
ported to have said that he merely did so

The Parsons Lesson.

Deacon Slocum, AZ had been his custom
for years, had prepared fine, fat turkey
as a Christmas present to his minister, and
called upon his son Tom to carry it over to
the parsonage. But Tom objected
"How now, my son ," demanded the
deacon; you know this is my custom.
You carried u turkey to the parson last
year, aud your elder brothers have done
it in the years before you were big
enough
"And," retorted Tom, "Parson Grum-
mer was never the man to say Thank ye.'
He takes il as matter OF course. 1t don't
set well on my stummick to have man
snub me when Pm dom him a favor.n
but, Tom, you must remember, Parson
drummer is peculiar man. He means
we'll"
"And so / s'pose old brindle means well
enough when she whisks her tail in your
eye; but I've noticed that you didn't seem
to like it,"
The good deacon smiled, and patUed his
boy on the shoulder.
Garry the turkey To the parson, Tom,
and if he don't thank you for il, Twill"
Tom shouldered the f0wl-fat, fair and
large-and carried it to the ministers
house, where he found the host in the sit
ting-room with number of brother cler-
gymen for company.
mir. Grummer.b said Tom, depositing
his burden upon the table with n thump,
there's turkey father sent to you. He
told me to bring it, and I've brought it,"
And with this he would have turned
upon his heel and left; but the minister
called him back.
Thomas, you did right to obey your
father. Obedience is n good thing; but
you might improve upon your manner of
obedience-you might have done your er-
rand little more respectfully"
"How?u asked Tom. curtly.
"Wait you here, my lad, and will show
you. You are young, and will give you
n lesson in politeness. Now, you will inn
agine that you are the parson, and that l
am the boy"
The parson took up the turkey and went
out. Presently he returned; took of his
hat; laid the fowl carefully upon the table,
and then, with low bow, said:
"Parson drummer, here is turkey
which my father sends to you, and begs
that you will accept it with the compli-
ments Of the season."
Tom stepped forward and turned the tur-
key. over. a,
] am not only grateful to your good father
for it, but l am very grateful TO you for
having brought t. Tell your father that |
am not unmindful of the many kindness
es have received at the hands of himself
and family And now, Thomas, If you
will take this down into the kitchen and
give it to the cook, I will call Mrs. Grum-
mer and bid her give you twenty-five
cent piece"
The parson for a moment looked blank,
but the audible smile of his clerical guests
stirred up his good human, and he accept
ca the lessen, and sent the lad oil with "a
piece of silver.

THE TROUBLES IN ATTAKAPAS
THEIR ORIGIN AND PROGRESS
Statement of Facts by a ResI-
dent Planter.
NEW IBERIA. MAY u, 1873.

New IBERIA. May ~, 1873.
EDlToR RErUBLlCAS:
Please give space IN your valuable col
umns to the following statement OF facts
and confer favor Trtr tie conservative
and honest people of tIe.Attakapas:
In the first place, the trouble in ST. Mar
tin parish was originally started by a
political clique. whose leaders openly
boasted prior TO The election Of 1873, that
they would install their nominees if they
oniv received ten votes at the bdllOt-Dox.
The paiochial Offices have been held for
peri0d OF more than thirty years by two or
three Acadian families and their connec-
tons. so that they have long regarde them
as hereditary rights. But as there have,
from time TO tine. been rival contestants,
success has often been the result OF means
employed which are not strictly lustlhable
il law or morals.
These things, though we'll known, have
been for many years sLothered on account
OF fear of assassination and violence at
the hands OF some of the ring OF their
tools. There are numerous other KINDS OF
frauds that have been practlced here with
impunity, which will all lie thoroughly ven.
tlated. in the course Of very short time,
with the help of God and Governor hel-
iogg if he viii only pursue the last line OF
policy adopted by him.
Now. sir, about the war. 1t was, perhaps,
the most complete let down and back out.
after the threats made prior to the arrival
OF your gallant Me-ropol:tans by the parties
above referred to, that was ever perpe-
trated And rest assured that il must not
be attributed to the cowardice of our people
of the a.takapas. but simply because
nine:y-nine il the hundred did !n no manner
indorse the move Of Fournet. DeBlanc q
Co. but, on The contrary. did all they could
to GissuaGe the citizens OF these parts from
participating in it. /: is notorious tact
that the officers elected in this and st. Mar
tin parish were Republicans and opponents
Of Warmoth's. and i. is also we'll known
here tina: The Democrats were cooperating
with him in this las. and the Campaign OF
1870: and if Mcfarland were alive to tell the
truth, or La SalinieIe. supervisor OF regis.
tra,iou in 1870 for St. Martin. would do
SO, they could corroborate the 1870 part OF
this statement.
To have seen these men charging around
this country. raising such dust that It hlt
their horses tails. prior to the arriva! OF
the state troops. and to see them sneaklng
around now 70 avoid capture. would have
explained the whole affair by Tar better
than can with this pencil.
These lines are sent to you by planter
