Of
"THE CAUCASIAN"

AHIS is to announce the Inaugural
" ton of a new enterprise in Jour-
nalism at Alexandria, Louisiana.
The Caucasian will be a weekly
newspaper, published every Satur-
day, under the Editorial management
of ROBT. P. HUNTER, ESQ, with
associates whose names are not now
given and with CHAs. B. STEWART
as Publisher. In politics, as its name
indicates, The Caucasian will be q
white mans paper, devoted to the
interests of the white people of the
Parish and State, and opposed to
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the negro to
the prejudice Of the Caucasian race,
the superior Of the African race in
every particular, except the endu-
rance OF physical labor for which the
latter was created and designed by
Providence.
It will lend its aid and e. pouse the
cause of that white mans party-by
whatever name it may be called
which shall seem most likely to re-
lieve our downtrodden State from
the oppressive burden under which
the labors from negro ignorance and
impudence, and carpet-bag corrup-
ton and rascality. It shall be our
purpose to hunt out Incompetence
and venality, and expose it wherever
it may be found.
The chief aim and object Of the
paper will be to sustain the Agricul-
tural Fair Association in developing
the resources of Our parish and
bringing white emigration in our
midst. It's columns will from time
to time contain description OF our
soil, climate, products and all other
matters pertaining to the planting
interests OF The country, and our aim
shall be to distribute this Information
in localities likely to induce such lm-
igration Us we desire.
II our contemplated arrangements
are perfected the Agricultural De-
partmeut will be under the charge
Of gentleman eminently qualified
for the position. We will have a
! Ladies' column, and will endeavor to
make it entertaining to them, by
publishing new recipes, etc, and dab
bling to a small extent in fashions.
! Our local column will contain all
the local items that time and atten'
ton can collect. We will always
find room for Communications on
matters Of general and local interest
and will invite the aid OF our friends
in this department..
In short we intend to have live
T wide awake newspaper, devoted to
the interests of our Parish and Stat
containing the latest news, entertain
ing reading matter and particularly
the matters that concern us at home
and in our every day life.

Three Court Beauties Of the Last
Century.

AS the re-issued portraits Of the three
beautiful Miss Cummings, seen amidst
the gay throng in the gallery of the
Irish House OF Parliament, as it ap-
peared in 1890, are attracting so much
attention in Liverpool, it may interest
many to know somewhat about those
celebrated Irish beauties. They were
born in Rescommon county, Ireland,
and were the daughters of a General
Cunning. Their parents were respect
able, but by no means rich. Thomas
Sheridan, at the time lessee of one of
the principal theatres in Dublin, was
accustomed to let them have access to
the theatrical wardrobe to dress them
selves when they went to the castle or
any of the balls in the then gay city of
Dublin. They resolved 10 go npon
the stage; indeed, it is said the eldest
did appear for two nights on the
boards of Mr.. Sheridan. However, he
prevailed upon them. before they. fl
naliy committed themselves. to take
their pretty faces to Lnudon for one
season. The fascinating hean!ies soon
threw London into an amazing excite
ment. On their appearing in Rotten
Row and Vanxhaii they were moONed,
the crowd forming an avenue Through!
which they lad to walk. It may be
remarked that, though poor, they de-
termined to have "lords" for their hus-
bands, and they were not long in Sc
cnring them, to the rage of all the fine
ladies in London. The eldest one met
the Duke of Hamilton at an evening
party, and his grace fell so desperately
in love with the Irish beauty that he
determined to be married there and
then, midnight though It was! A
married lady was not present, and
only sort of "couple-beggar" clergy
man; however. bed curtain ring was
got, and the happy pair there and then
united. Waipole, OF Strawberry Hill
notoriety, tells amusing stories of the
high state kept up by the Duke and
his beautiful bride; at all times preced.
ing their company from the drawing
room to the dining room, seating them
selves together at the head of their ia
bic. eating off the same plate, drinking
out OF the same glass and studiously
making point of never drinking wine
with any Of their guests whose rank
was below that of an Earl The Duke
of Hamilton died; she was then mar.
ried to the Duke of Argyll, ard from
her descends the Marquis of Lorpe, the
: husband of Princess Louise. The sec
ond sister became Lady Coventry, ane
it is said, truthfully or pot, that she
| killed herself by the excessive use o
I white paint. The third sister, more il
. the background Of the group, was mar
ried til the Honorable Mr.. Blakely
- Exchange.

~ Judge Mckee of San Francisco
has q low opinion of detectives, and OF
the system of employing the m to
shadow respectable jurymen. He says
that such a practice is an insult to men
compelled by law to discharge disa-
ereeable duty. Unjust suspicious and
depraved practices are fast destroying
confidence in courts, and suhjecting
judicial proceedings which ought to
rest upon the confidence and respect OF
the people to the bitter prejudices and
reckless passions of men excited by
base hopes or fears. The Judge also
condemned the conduct of attorneys
in dispensing drinks and cigars to Ju-
t0fs.

The OFFENsE OF "BoRING I'm che
Kansas Legislature, Mr.. Tlnkham, of
Miami county, has introduced bill
"to define the offense of boring, and to
punish the same" This bill defines
boring as such acts as paying board
bills of members of the Legislature,
their liquor bills, their railroad fares,
and the like, by persons wishisg office
or having other favors to ask at their
hands, and provides that ans person
guilty of boring Kansas legislators
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-

is a sensible bill, and would be so we'll
suited for the meridian of Albany OF

bill against boring should be intro
duced into Congress it should be made
to apply to all members of the Gov
