A War of Races.

Fears are entertained by many we'll
informed persons that war of races
will be inaugurated in Louisiana be-
fore many months have passed by. A
large area of the State has been desc
lated by floods and misery, and degree
dation everywhere prevail among
the poor class of white people and
the negroes. There is no money in
the State, and the means to prevent
actual starvation must come from
elsewhere The levees are in ruin
Gus condition and their repair by the
general Government is the only hope
of the people. 1t is reported that
years must elapse before the overflow
ed regions will be again recovered or
the owners of the land again find
themselves in prosperous condition.
The State is horelessly in debt, and
she cannot furnish the means of liv-
ing to her starving poor. Many Of
the white people and all of the negroes
openly pronounce in favor of repudi.
ating all debts, State and individual.
Carpet-bag rule is asserted to be the
chief cause of the great financial de-
preston. Reputation and anti-repu-
diation will be the issue of the cleo
tion in September. The feeling of ha-
hot 1a x.r1,i nd 10 oly s,
growing stronger every day, and po-
litical crisis seems inevitable. Both
sides are forming societies and secret
meetings are held nightly. The strug-
gle when it comes will be a clearly
defined contest between the whites
and the blacks. The first blow will be
struck in Louisiana, but the conflict
will not be confined to that State
The same hatred of one race for the
other is felt to greater or less extent
all over the South; and blood once
shed in Louisiana, the conflict Of races
will commence throughout half
dozen States. This statement of the
condition of affairs in the South to-
gether with what we may anticipate
in the near future, is made by an
agent sent out by the Government.
The facts are therefore in the posses
sion of the Administration. The
reign of terror may be averted by the
prompt and determined action Of the
Go ernment. Shall carpet-bag rule
cease, or shall the South be deluged
with blood

the late panic shall have vanished,

Land in Los Angeles County.

THE HERALD is in receipt of a letter
from gentleman residing in Tennes-
see, in which the writer says he has
been led to believe that the area of
land adapted to cultivation in Los
Angeles county is quite small. Be-
sides, he has heard that as the good
land is already occupied, there is but
little inducement for persons of mod
crate means, whose occupation is the
cultivation of the soil, to seek this
valley. The gentleman has been mis-
informed in both particulars. There
are over two hundred thousand acres
of good corn land, needing but little
irrigation and capable of producing
eighty bushels per acre, in this county.
There are also not less than three hum
dred thousand acres that will produce
small grain and well adapted to the
growth of semi-tropical fruit. The
county is capable of supporting a mil
lion people, and it now contains less
than thirty thousand. The good land
is not already under cultivation, nor is
one-half it. Thousands of acres have
never been disturbed by the plowshare.
Good land is not held at prices beyond
the reach of men Of moderate means.
An abundance of rich soil may be pur-
chased at from five to fifty dollars per
acre. The price Of land depends not
80 much on the quality of the soil as
its location. In the immediate vicin-
ity of Los Angeles, land is worth from
fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars
per acre. But farther away, in some
of the richest sections of the valley,
good farms can be purchased cheap.
Real estate is advancing steadily
throughout the valley, and it is haz-
arding little to say that within the
next year or eighteen months the av-
erage advance throughout the county
will be at least one hundred per cent.
But little land is now bought on spec
ulation. Purchasers are generally
those who contemplate becoming per-
manent settlers. These statements
are correct, and from them our Ten
nessee correspondent will see that he
has been misled in two essential
particulars concerning Los Angeles
county.

FOREIGN NEWS.
Great Excitement in France.

LONDON. June ia Paris special
to the Times says the Left Centre will
to-day probably introduce a bill, the
first clause of which organizesa Repub-
lie according to the bill of 1878; the
second fixes the date of the dissolution
of the Assembly. The Gazette de
France says civil war will be the inn
mediate consequence of its dissolution.
1t is generally thought in the event of
the dissolution, the Assembly, before
dispensing, will authorize MacMahon
to govern some months, probably a
year, without an Assembly, and will
also authorize him to dissolve the
next Assembly. The crowd at the de-
pot last evening numbered 100000.
The police clearly manifested sympa-
thy with the Bonapartists.

singular Case OF Hydrophobia.

Mr.. Daniel G.. Weidner died in Farm
ingdale, n. j., few days ago, of n.y.
drophobia, under the following circum-
stances, as alleged by the Reading pa. J
Times on the authority of his brother,
whe is a resident of Reading my
brother, when seven years old, went to
live with Mr.. Lefettre, at Farming
dale was raised by him, and during
all those years has been of industrious
habits, sober, and well-liked in the COM
munity. TWAS during his seventh year,
and while living with Mr.. Lefettre, that
he was bitten by a mad dog, thoughhow
this happened no one knows he suf-
fered much pain at the time, and re-
quired constant nursing. In few
weeks he seemed to have completely re-
covered, and from that time up to
Wednesday, April 20, he never showed
the slightest sign of the existence of
hydrophobia in his system. He grew
up without a suspicion of the awful
death which lurked in his veins, and
waited only the dreaded summons
to bring him to an untimely
grave. Last Wednesday Daniel
arose and attempted to perform his
40 ITO nCulth lilS MdtCl ilC
was seized with convulsive spasms that
shook his body like leaf, throwing
him to the floor, accompanied by a
frothing at the mouth, and from that
time he continued in this condition,
with short intervals of four or five sec
onds of returning reason, throughout the
whole of Wednesday, the night of
Wednesday, and the next day, up to
Thursday night at 9 o'clock, when death
relieved hins of his sufferings. During
all these forty-two hours he did not eat
or drink anything, but was seemingly
convulsed with pain, and in the greatest
agony. A little medicine was at one
time forced down his throat, but the
great exertion which it required, and
the fear that personal injury might be
done him, prevented its repetition. A
few weeks before his death Daniel
called ON physician, and then COM
planned of singing pain in his left
arm. The doctor prescribed for him,
and when he left, remarked, That man
will not live many days Soon after
Daniel was taken sick, and died, as
stated. He was "a years old.

"Tm not frightened, said Maggie.

"Tm not frightened" said Maggie.
"I'm coming to take them things
away from you, said the man.
Come, said Maggie.
He advanced one step. She took
aim ard he lodged, but a bullet went
through his left arm, and it dropped by
his side.
Furious with pain, he dashed toward
her. She fired again, and this time
wounded him in the right shoulder.
Faint, and quite helpless, he staggered
against the wall.
There, you've done it, old woman, "
he said. "Open the door and let me
out. My game is up"
Mine isn't" said old Maggie.
Get back into your coffin again, or
this time I'll shoot you through the
heart"
The burglar looked piteously at her,
but he saw no mercy IN her face. lie
went back to the coffin and lay down in
it. Blood dropped from his wounds,
and he was growing pale. Maggie did
not want to see him die before her eyes,
but she did not dare go for aid. To
leave the house before daybreak would
be to meet this mans companions, and
risk her own life. There was nothing
for it but to play the surgeon herself,
and in little while she had stopped
the blood and saved the burglars life.
More than this-she brought him a
cup of tea, and fed him with it as if he
had been baby. Nothing, however,
could induce her to let him out of has
coffin.
About one or two o'clock she heard
steps outside, and knew that the
other burglars were near, but her stout
heart never quailed. She trusted in the
bars and bolts, and they did not betray
her.
The daylight found her sitting quiet
ly beside her wounded burglar, and the
milkman, bright and early, was the am
bassador who summoned the officers of
justice.
When the bridal party returned next
day the house was neat and tidy, and
Maggie, in her best alpaca, told the
news in laconic fashion.
Frightened p she said, in answer to
the sympathetic CALCULATIONS of her new
mistress. Frightened Oh, no Fear
wasn't born in me. !"

Marriage of Blood Relations.

Statistics presented to the French
Academy show that the marriages of
blood relations form about two per
cent. of all the marriages in France ;
and that the deaf and dumb offspring,
at birth, of consanguineous marriages
in France, and that the deaf and dumb
born in ordinary wedlock, at Lyons,
from full twenty-five per cent. at least
twenty-five per cent. in Paris, and thirty
per cent. in Bordeaux-the proportions
of the deaf and dumb, by birth, in
creasing with the degree of blood re-
lationship. The data obtained show
that, if the danger of having a deaf
and dumb child in ordinary marriage,
represented by figures, is one, there will
be eighteen in marriages between first
cousins, thirty-seven in marriages be-
tween uncles and nieces, and seventy
in marriages between nephews and
aunts. 1t appears, too, that the most
healthy parents, if related i'll blood,
may have deaf and dumb children.

TWO PATHS.
BY n. II. sEwHALL.

That trsiled its beauties down the NIL.
He took her little hand in his
And bravely led her DER the brook,
A. calamity az errant knight
Escorted lady, in the book,
The wondrous book, the story book,
That all our young hearts captive took.
Aud thus they loitered on to school,
This little loving, happy pair,
Aud caroled gayly as they roved,
With meier "A thought OF pain or care,
Corroding care, destroying care,
That bows the head and streaks the hair.
At school the intervals of play
Would find them by each others side
Beneath tree, or in some game

Nor dreamed he she would say him nay
Whenever he gave that love a voice,
An earnest voice, pleading voice,
That well rehearsed his hoped-for joys.

That wounds too many hearts, by far!
That bllghts the hopes that fourished high
And ever leaves an ugly scar,
A bitter scar. cruel scar,

Where Honor leads and Glory, beaming, waits
To crown the victor with immortal bay.

Where ait the nations gifted men OF state,
In deep deliberations for our veal, -
Or laundering forth in clamorous debate.
Now honors clustered round him day by day,
thousand voices trumpeted his fame;
She saw too late the gem she trampied on
When she refused, IN youth, to bear his name
And grim remorse crept DER her gilded life
Too tardy TO avert her deep disgrace;
For she had wandered from the royal road
Where virtue keeps her pure abiding-pace.
Those faultless features soon grew pale and thin
The light that gave the brilliance to her eye,
short time nickercd, like taper spent,
And she was left 20 wither and to die. g. \
Her name was dropped where once familiar twas
Before dishonor bound her like a slave;
Twas only known that when her spirit fled,
Her body filled an ever nameess grave.
