THE object of the Ne'C York Free
mans Journal in exposing the German
intrigue for the cession of Porto Rico,
is avowedly to arouse the American
people and defeat its cOnsummation.
The Journal is Carlist in sympathies,
and hopes thus 10 prevent the Madrid
Junta from obtaining the substantial
aid against Don Carlos which Germany
offers in exchange for the Island. There
remains contingency that the silence
and consent of the United States to
this arrangement may be purchased BY
the offer to us Of the Cuban elephant.
So we may look out for the possible
annexation of a chronic rebellion and
another million Of negro voters.

HOW TT LOOKS AT WASHINGTON

Among the dispatches TO the South
ern Associated Press, we find the fol-
lowing curious version Of the views en-
tertained at Washington concerning
recent race troubles at the South:
The Attorney General has no doubt
If the disturbances, of which be has
many reports, continue, the President
Will interfere South.
1t is suggested that he needs all his
soldiers to fight the Indians, and the
whites must of necessity fight their
own battles against turbulent negroes.
Gen. Emory, commanding the Louis
lana department has no confidence IN
his new regiment in q contest between
the whites and blacks. His soldiers
will certainly affiliate with the whites
If detached in squads throughout the
State The negroes only safety, If he
becomes aggressive, is in the tardy law
administered by United States Judges,
and thvy, following the lead Of their
Chief, Judge Williams, seem to be be
comingimpatient Of the assumptions OF
the colored people.

day, and would have remained longer il we
had not drank up nearly all the water, which
compelled us to move on and make a dry
camp that night, reaching water about ten
o'clock next day The spring was not by the
roadside, but the spot where the trail going
to it, left the road was marked by number
of graves surmounted by wooden crosses
around which were piled loose stones. They
were the graves of travellers who met their
death at the hands ofthe red skinned maraud-
ing sons of thunder who made watering
places by the highway favorite lurking
places,
1t is a general practice with Mcxicans TO
put small cross on every grave where a man
has been killed, and wherever the bearers
rest the bier when conveying a corpse to the
grave Around these crosses each passer-by
casts stone as tribute to the memory Of
the departed, until the piles Of stones often
nearly cover the original cross.

A lyric poet of the CorcrJournal points out
to the Crusaders, in the following truthful rela-
ton, how Cincinnati whisky can be made a
mighty adjunct to prayer in closing the saloons:
They sang and they prayed round Pats saloon,

But the old galoot was quite pTayer-prooi,
And they sang and prayed in vain.
But at last they bribcd chap named LATHE
TO give him SOME whisky from Cincinnati
Some forty odd drops of the stuff
As weary, half asleep he repOsed
But forty odd drops was quite enough,
For it handled the old man mighty rough,
And that saloon was closed.

who was there, gives us this account;
! The night before, the hunters, TO be sure Of
an early start, slept with their eyes open

Parr had gathered their packs together and
proceeded to the Marseilles road, where they
blew their bugles, and were soon joined by
Geo Parr and Rich. Clark. Not finding any
trace of game on this side OF the river they
started for the Black Ash swamp Finding
no trail there they proceeded eastward as
far as the residence of Hon. G.. w. Armstrong
Here the Armstrong boys joined them. The
hunters, thinking this would be the last hunt
of the season, were eager for chase. They
continued toward the northeast about two
miles when the dogs struck the trail Of a
wolf Soon they had lively trail; slowly
and steadily they move on; faster and faster
the track grows warmer; the days Of the
VOLTS earthly career are numbered
The chase was not very long one, but for
pack the majority of which were puppies,
a most crediable one. The wolf thought to
save himself by hiding in a hollow log; but
the hounds soon surrounded the log and such
q mingling OF voices is seldom heard The
hunters soon came up, and were not long in
cutting him out The dogs were held, and
the wolf again started on the race for life
which soon terminated in death. The boys
secured the scalp and returned home, feeling
well satisfied that this race was

Further Particulars of the Explosion OF
the Crescent City.
MEMPHIS, March 25.-From survivors OF
the Crescent City who arrived here this
morning on the steamer Phil. Allen, the
following additional particulars of the dis
aster were obtained:
William Briggs, first engineer, who was
on watch. states that at the time of the ex-
plosion he was aft welding fre-hoOk, and
was suddenly knocked down by the con-
cussion, though he heard no unusual noise.
On springing to his feet he started forward,
but was stopped by the steam, and a mo-
ment afterward found he was standing in
water, and realizing the danger, ran up
stairs, closely followed by the water.
Within three minutes after the explosion
the boat sank, leaving only the atterpart of
the roof above water, on which the survi.
vOrs were huddled until relieved by the
Phil. Aliens timely arrival. The engineer
states that at the time of the explosion the
boat was carrying one hundred and forty
pounds of steam, and five minutes before he
had tried the water and found it flush. He
can give no theory as to the cause of the ex-
plOsiOn. The boat had five barges in tow,
containing five hundred tons of coal. six
hundred tons of sugar, and about two hun
dred tons of queensware, all of which was
lost.
In addition to the list of casualties re.
ported last night are Frank Kelly, of st.
