We are panied to learn of the
total destruction, by fire. at
Oolfax Landing on the 18th, of
the steamer Southwestern. The
Southwestern was a regular
Red River packet, principally
owned, and entirely differed,
by a gallant and clever crew OF
gentlemen. Liberal, courteous
and attentive to their duties,
Tom and Thornton Jacobs and
John and Harry Lewis, had
justly won the confidence of the
public, and their magnificent
steamer was universally known
as the "Home Boat" The fire
was the work of an incendiary.
Says the Shreveport Times
The stern-wheel steamer
Southwestern, bound from New
Orleans to Shreveport, was de>
stroyed by fire between three
and four o'clock on the morning
OF the 18th instant, at Colfax
Courthouse, on Red river, in
Grant parish, about three hum
dred miles below this city. The
boat was three years old, was
worth probably thirty-five thou
sand dollars, and was insured
for ten thousand. She was
owned, one-third by Bofinger
u Pegram, and the balance by
Thornton and Tom Jacobs, and
John FL. aud 81. s. Lewis,
Shreveport men. She left New
Orleans with. the heaviest
Shreveport freight OF the sea-
son, her cargo being worth be-
tween seventy-fve and one
hundred thousand dollars.

This town recently filled up
Dan Rice's circus to overflow

at several other places in the
parish,probably with equal sues

that, two boats loaded with our
distressed, INDECENT and starv-
ing people, left for the Carni-
val in New Orleans, where they
had to pay their way, cash on
the spot-and some of them
have not returned yet, which
may be considered a sign of the
length of their purses. Now
to get the payment of an hons
est debt out of some of these
clrcus-going, carnival-going
people, would be about as diff
cult as extracting blood from a

Death Of Willard Fillmore.

American politics. Willard
Fillmore, thirteenth President
of the United States, is dead.
Death knocks with equal hand
at the howell of the poor and
palace of the king. No art can
stay the insatiate archer; nor
skill to withstand his winged
shafts. The great, the humble,
the rich, the poor, must fall
alike - alike prove mortal
equality in the dust.
Ex>President Fillmore was
born in Cayuga county, New
York, on the 7th day of Janus
airy, 1900, and was, therefore,
over seventy-four years of age
at the time OF his death. His
father being a pioneer to that
county, he had not the advan-
tages ofan early education, but
was a regular laborer until
nineteen years old, when he
began the study of law. At
that time, the statutes of New
York required a classical edu>
cation and seven years prepar-
alton before admission to the
bar. Mr.. Fillmore applied HIM
self diligently to discharge
these requirements, teaching
school, in the mean time, as a
means of support. AS soon as
licensed he took high position
at the bar, and at once began
to ascend the difficult ladder OF
success.
He enjoyed a lucrative prac-
tive practice; in 1882 was elec>
ted to Congress, and was a
member of that body until 1S43.
where he distinguished himself
as a debater, and retired with
a well-earned reputation for in
dustry and ability. In 1914,
he was nominated for the vices
presidency Oh the Clay and Fills
more ticket. Elected, the death
Of Gen. Taylor made him presi-
dent on the 10th of July, 1S49.
His administration was char
acterized by wisdom, prudence
and conservatism, and he retired
from his exalted office on the
4th of March, 1858. leaving
behind him no blot on his name.
In the later years of his life, his
views were moderate and con-
sentative on all the questions
that divided the country in the
post bellum period. He has
gone to the tomb respected by
both parties into which a dis
tracted country is divided.-
