The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1874-04-29
DAsuEs HERE AND THERE.

Saturday morning now a days in {
Alexandria, is looked for by the news I
mongers and excitables, with no lit I
tie interest, and We must acknowl-
edge all such have fair cause to be
lockers for the mentioned occasion;
many others from better motives
and with pride await for the coming
morn, with patience and solid inter
interest. Saturday mornings, bright
and early, two journalistic spicy,
neat, witty and interesting Cauca-
sian, faithful and bold, the gallant
co-laborer of the Democrat in the
same hallowed cause, and teaching
the same tenets-the Gazette, the Of
fetal Journal of Rapides, Grant and
Vernon, well conducted according to
it's party creed and ably edited by al
veteran of no mean pretentions and
talent, and politically from stem to
STERN the plain spoken enemy Of the
|Democrat-these, and these alone are
the Saturdays mornings sensation,
which we dash here into print.
Our young, gallant and witty
editors of fair Caucasia's organ, came
dashing down the home stretch un-
der bracing pull, in regular Lecomte
strides, on Saturday morning, and
threw the Red flag into the GazelRs
face sans ceren,onle. They certainly
crossed lances with the old one, and
made him stagger more than once,
! but then it's all for "some fun and
the second heat is to come yet.
The old one of the Official jour
nap' has some bottom, carries we'll
his weight for age, may cool off we'll,
: and then look out for the second heat.
, Old Boston never ran better than in
) his old days, his grand race with
Fashion was his browning and great
: est effort-but then the old horse had
/ better trainer and hackers than the
2 old one of the Gazette. Nous yer

just about this time, that the
awful cry of high water and over
q flows are ringing through poor Louis
i lana, and more than four fifths ofhel
d cotton, sugar and corn .cultivabl'
e lands are submerged, and totally use
r less for this year, we are forcibly re
d membered to behold our fair and pow
S erty stricken Rapides, and ask wha
: of the night, sentinel? Right now
p we consider her singly blessed AM
h better off in far better plight thai
Il any Parish in the State, in the agri
II cultural line anyhow. Scarcely an.
Al of her lands and fields are overflowe'
IS or can possibly be, and she stands il
se the favored line without peer
he Stick pin there, Rapidians, planter
D. and farmers, and aim and strike you
Y, blows accordingly. There's life, res
at stamina, in the old land, and the en-
n is not yet.
III The recent arrest and br,lt:
III treatment of our townsman, \. Il ey
u man, by some of New York's det4 c
st i've force, few days since in New D

IN As usual nowadays with all leg
III proceedings, under radical wing
Ut there is something rotten in tn
IL matter and we fail to see where He,
r. man comes in. He met here, la
M Fall, with a staggering finances
as crash, the causes of which we ca
s'r not to enquire into, and as is alwa.,
ol the case he was pounced on from !
oh quarters without mercy, judge or ]
ne nv, and was forced into bankrupt
n in double quick time and indece
gs haste. Receivers, Deputy Marshal
IN and other pensioners on Packard
Ill., official station, were sent here, al
Sc all he possessed, real estate, goot
ny books, open accounts, furniture do'
lie to an infants cradle, were invent
I'm ried and taken possession Of by t
We officers of the law, and Heyman, /
he partner and clerks all turned out
lot the cold. Here we would suppo
he matters should have halted till D

In Heyman's quietus given him,
zee thus were all others served here.
