about Il tablespoon of pulverized saltpetrc.
A few days ago he set fire to these stumps,
and says they commenced and continued to
burn until every stump was totally con-
sumcd, roots and ALL So that he was able
to pillow without the least difficulty over the
very ground formerly occupied by these
large stumps. He says some Of the stnmps
burned four or five days. Farmers, try the
doctors remedy; he says it will not fail.
The doctor also says that if your cabbage

you can save every one of them by sprink-

the following: Lard oil, 100 parts, par.
ATTN, so parts; beeswax, 3 parts. Gently
warm the oil and in it dissolve the paraifin
and wax. Iftoo hard add little less wax.
Amy disagreeable smell may be removed by
few drops Of oil of sassafras. The wax
prevents the crystallization of the paratlin,
and the oil causes the whole TO become IA
paste of the consistency of talow. The
dressing fills the pores of the leather, does
not dry, but keeps the leather soft and PHI

binary backing, whichis not the case with
most dressing containing oil or grease.

A little boy having heard beau
tiful story about a little boy and his
hatchet, and how, because the little
boy wouldn't tell lie, he, in time,
got to be President Of tho United
States, was very much impressed by
it. Now, it so happened that on the
last day Of March, no was Just ten
years old, and his father asked him
what he would like to havo for u
birthday present. Very naturally
the boys answer was, "a httlo
hatehet, if you please, papa"
The father bought hun little
hatchot that very day, and the boy
was SO delighted that he actually
took IL to bed with him.
Early next morning he got up
dressed himself, took hislitlle hatchet
and went out into tho garden, There,
as luck would hayo it, the first thing
that caught his eye was his father s
favorite cherry-heo. "My eyes! ex,

Another Homicide,

During the early part of last week the
labOrers on the Magenta plantation on
Bayou DeSiard missed one of their nun.
Der, named Henry Harris, but as he had
been in the habit of doing odd jobs at other
places, little attention was paid to his alb
sence until Wednesday night, when his
body was found under some logs in Bayou
DeSiard. An examination of the body re-
vealed the fact that deceased was only
dressed in drawers and undershirt, and
that the entire left side of his head had
been beaten in with some blunt weapon
Suspicion was at once directed toward his
wife, Elsie Harris, and an old cOlored man
named Tony Neilum, who was known to
have STAYED at Harris house on Sunday
night. During the three days following
the disappearance Of Henry Harris both of
these parties had repeatedly stated that he
had gone up-the bayou, but as it was known
that there had been a difficulty between
Harris and his wife on Saturday night, sus-
piciOn only became stronger.
During Wednesday night, after the find.
ing of the body, Mr.. B. T. McEnerv, on
whose plantation the deceased had lived.
found out that Tony knew who had killed
Harris, and in consequence had him taken
into custody On Thursday Coroner Thomas
held an inquest on the body of the deceased
and from the evidence there elected he felt
lhdo AC "oulu W AL Iuo dI-
rest of Elsie Harris, wife of deceased, and
Tony Nellum. Both having been lod ged in
jail, they were examined before Judge Raw
on Monday last, and at the close of the ex-
animation, by him committed to the parish
prison without benefit of bail to await the
action of the next grand Jury.
At the examination there was no direct
testimony as to who killed Henry Harris,
and the accused in their voluntary state
ments fatty contradicted each other.
Elsie's statement is that little after dark
she went to William Browns house after
some medicine, leaving her husband and
Tony Nellum at home. Returning she
found Tony there alone, who told her that
Harris had gone up the bayou; Harris be-
ing in the habit of going off this way she
paid no attention to his absence and went
to bed as usual. That she saw him no more
until his body was found in the bayou.
Tony says that he returned With Elsie from
the bayou; that they found Henry sitting
in the door; that Henry and Elsie had some
words, after which Elsie struck Henry with
the pole of the ak, knocking him down, and |
after having him down continuing to beat |
him until lite was extinct. That he attempt |
ed to interfere, but she threatened his life !
in case that he done. That after Henry |
was dead. Elsie compelled him to help her |
to carry the body to the bayou and put it |
under the raft where it was found.-LouiS-
