The dog crop is unusually large
this season, we judge, as there seems
to be about nine thousand of the
beasts within radius of six hundred
yards from our Office of nights. AS
their individual barks average three

down the chromatic scale, our sym
pathizing readers will have some idea
of the dog goned racket that assails

A colored man named Jones, that
familiar old fraud who has for months
past circulated a petition for money
to pay his passage back to Virginia,
and regularly used the funds thus
raised in investments in such unholy
games as high dice, draw poker and
such like, was arrested day before
yesterday for selling brass rings upon
the representation that they were gold,
and is now sojourning in the parish
Jail. People who have wasted small
change upon him, as we have, will re-
joice to hear of his sudden arraign-
ment for his sinful practices.
BASE BALL.-The Stonewall Club
must be practicing with will, if the
recent purchase of an armful of bats
at Wilkinson's is any indication.
Our latest information from New
River is a report that the Red Stock
ing and Ranger clubs have both dis
handed, and a new organization is to
be formed by union of the best play
ers of the old clubs. A strong team
could be had by this means, one that
our Burnside boys would find it hard
work to outstrip.
At the National Base Ball Conven-
ton the proposition to have ten play
ers to a side hereafter, instead of
nine, and to play ten innings as a
game, was almost unanimously re-
jected.

their usual time on several days of

the large amount of way freight to be
delivered. We are glad the road is
doing fan business.
The property situated at the cor
ner of Opelousag and Iberville streets
has been greatly improved by the
carpenter and painter. A new fence
around the lot and anew coat of paint
on the house have worked pleasing
change.
The river is rising again. Fears of
an unusually high stage of water this
year are entertained, and great care
should be taken to have the levees in
good repair. Several crevasses have
occurred above Helena, Ark, but the
damage has not been very serious as
yet.
A subscription list is being circu-

you make it practical and urge folks not
to drink, and try moral suasion you are

you have license law they don't want
that and why don't you use moral suasion?
If you have prohibitory law they want a

CHANGE IN THE PENSION SYSTEM
Perhaps the most important bill introduced
this week was that of Gen Butler proyid-
ing for change in the pension system
Some two years ago Gen. Butler intro
duced bill of like purport which only re-
ceived twenty-three votes. Mr.. Dawes in
his recent speech suggested that a large
saving of money might be made by abolish
ing the Office of Pension Agent, and tax
ing the cue and perhaps to forestall Mr.
Dawes in the introduction of a bill. Gen
Butler on Tuesday introduced his bill and
succeeded in having it made in order for
discussion when the pension appropriation
shall come up. Buffers bill makes all
Postmasters at county seats er-o6fcio pen
sion agents, and requires them to make
payment to all pensioners within their
district. For this duty, Postmasters are
to be required to give additional bonds of
five thousand dollars, and to be permitted
to receive rs compensation ten cents on
the payment of every voucher. Provision
is made that the Postmasters NAV send a.
clerk to the home of any pensioner who is
disabled and infrm and for such service
five cents may be charged to the pensioner.
The bill repeats the law by which the
Office of pension agents was established
