Army OF Attack United States Troops
will Preserve the Peace.
LITTLE ROCK, April 17.-This morning
Judge Whylock sent note to the clerk Of
the circuit court, stating that he had been
advised by the sheriff that it would be un-
safe for him to come to the circuit court
room, on Markham street, and requesting
the clerk to bring the records up to the
State House. Governor Baxter's attorneys
were also notified. These gentlemen declined
State House, where the county clerks office
is located, to attend the court. The Judge
then moved to the criminal court room, Just
opposite, but counsel did not attend at that
place.
Judge Whylock then overruled the mo-
ton to set aside Judgment in the Brooks
Baxter case, and sustained the motion to
correct record 80 as TO show that the de-
murer was submitted without the knowl-
edge OF Baxter or his attorneys. The bar
held meeting to-day and passed severe
resolutions against Mr. WhIpple, Brooks
attorney, for non professional conduct, and
also against the court for its action in the
absence of the Governors counsel.
During the morning General T. P. Dock
cry was appointed military governor Of the
city, and issued the following orders:

Louisiana jockey Club.

Continued bad weather and the inces.
SAINT rain have necessitated further post
ponement OF the fourth days programme.
Weather permitting, there may be race to-
day, but it is doubtful. There were no pools
sold last night, as the rain prevented any
thing like fair attendance at the pool
rooms. In case of no race today the usual
signal will be displayed from the office of
the Jockey Club on Carondelet street.

fax.
News has been received in this city of an
attempt upon the life of G. II. Radetzky,
tax collector Of Grant parish. A few nights
since, during severe rain, colored man
stopped at the house occupied by Radetzky,
| and asked to be allowed to stay under shel-
ter, which permission was granted. He
asked leave 10 build fire, and Radetzky
told him where to find an ak and wood.
Raderzky retired to bed, and fell asleep,
but was suddenly aroused by blow over
the head from an ak in the hands of the
cOlored man. His head was severely gashed,
but he aroused himself, and the assailant
finding his blow had missed it's fatal effect,
dropped his Ak and fed Rade.zky went to
the camp Of Lieutenant Vernon, at Colfax,
about half mile distant, where his wound
was dressed by DR.. William Deal, surgeon
of the post.
The assailant has since been arrested,
fully identified by Radetsky, and sent in
irons to Alexandria, where he is now in
jail. His name is given as Lewis. He is a
stranger to the parish, having lately gone
there from New Orleans. Another colored
man named Peter Boland has been arrested
as an accessory. The purpose of the attack
was unquestionably robbery, it being pre-
sumed that the tax collector had funds in
his possession.
In this connection it may be proper to
state that sensational contemporary pub
lished last evening glowing and blood
stirring account of an attack made BIZ
colored men on the camp Of Iisate eSanl
Vernon, at Colfax, and the fatal *ounding
of the surgeon Of the post. This account
purports to come in letter from an TN
heard-of town in the neighborhood Of Alex
andria, dated the fifteenth instant, from
one of the Oldest and most respectable citi-
zens Of the place"
Our neighbor has evidently been badly
sold, for letters were received per the last
boat from Red river, from DR.. Deal, writ
ten on Wednesday, and he had heard
nothing of the affair. He was in excellent
health on the day in question, and his nu-
merous friends in this city need have no
apprehensions in his behalf.

1t will be seen that the application for
50,000 rations has been forwarded through
division headquarters with an earnest sug-

is matter of great moment that the desir

most urgent.

The Oil Deposits of the Great West.

About eight hundred miles west of
Omaha the line of the Union Pacific Rail
road crosses Green river, and the approach
to the river is for considerable distance
through a cutting, of from 20 to 40 feet in
depth, made in rock. During the con-
struction Of the road, some workmen piled
together a few pieces of the excavated rock
as 4 protection for dinner fire, and soon
observed that the stone itself ignited.
The place thereafter became known as
Burning Stone Cut.
The general superintendent Of the road,
Mr.. 7. E. Sickles, has caused analyses and
experiments to be made with this sub.
stance, which proves to be shale rock,
rich in mineral oils, which may be pro-
duced by distillation in abundant quanti-
ties, say five gallons of the tun of rock, at
tho cost Of a few cents only per gallon.

WACKUP'S WASHING.

Mr. Wackup, married man of Bridge
port, quit work early the other afternoon,
and went home for the purpose of spend
ing the evening-or rather half the night
with number of his friends. He found
his wife lying upon the lounge enjoying
sick headache, but he couldn't find clean
shirt Mrs. Wackup said his shirts were
washed, but not ironed and she was too
i'll to do it, and it was the girls afternoon
out. A shade of disappointment clouded
his brow, and rushing into the kitchen, he
slammed the door with much earnestness,
and fortunately found an iron on the range
nice and hot. Then he dived into the basket
of dampened clothes, and found one of his
shirts at the bottom, just as he expected
He spread the cloth out on the table with
out first removing the oil cloth cover, and
hurriedly consulted his watch. Then he
couldn't find the ironholder, and substi-
tuted his pocket handkerchief, and after
burning four of his fingers and breaking
one of the commandments, he landed the
hot iron on his shirt bosom. He thought
the garment had a strange look, but sup
posed it would assume its proper shape
when ironed, and showed the iron up and
down like jack plane. The labor seemed
SO easy that he mentally said he had a mind
to follow the business for living. Then
he undertook to turn his shirt, and just
because it adhered to the glazed table
cover he gave it a violent jerk, and added
at least six inches more to the slit in the
back.
Then he noticed for the first time that
he had set the hot iron on the tail of the
garment and scorched hole in it as large
as his hand, and in his haste to remove the
smoothing machine he neglected to use the
holder, and dropped the hot fraud on his
choice toe; and when Mrs. Wackup, who
was startled by the intensity of his Ian
guage, entered the kitchen holding her
head with both hands, she discovered her
husband hopping about the room on one
foot and clasping the other with both his
hands. The sympathy that Mrs. Wackup
rendered was not of nature that blistered
husband yearned for just at that particular
moment. She placed her arms akimbo
and Indignantly observed:
CANT you ashamed of yourself, you
old fool dancing the can't can around here,
and your poor wife nearly dead, too -
And here her eyes rested upon the
wreck on the table" and if the old idiot
hasn't gone and ruined my best chemise!
o, the-the-" Wackup didn't tarry to
hear his Infatuated better-half finish the
sentence, but adroitly lodged the broom
handle, and limped out of the room and
up stairs to bed without his supper. The
reason he failed to keep his engagement,
he was suddenly attacked with the cholera
morbus at the supper table, and liked to
have died during the night.

WATCH THE BooKs.-How large pro-
portion of mothers and guardians exercise
anything which can be called watchful
care as to what books and papers the chill
dren shall read? And yet the booksellers
shelves groan under the weight of the
most dissipating, weakening, and insidious
books that can possibly be imagined; and
newspapers, which ought never to enter
any decent house, lie on the table of many
a family sitting room. Any one who will
take the trouble to examine the records of
any large circulating library will be aston
ished at the immense demand which there
is for these average novels. And, in our
parlors and chambers to-day, myriads of
little girls are curled up in corners, porting
over such reading-stores of complicated
modern society, the very worst kind of
reading for child; stories "whose excit-
ing pages delight in painting the love of
the sexes for each other, and its sensual
phases" And the mothers do not know
what they are reading; and the children
answer, when asked what they read: ooh,
anything that comes along "-Anna c.
Bracket.
