| Poor old Grand father.
From the Detroit Free Press.l
Jackson Green is fourteen years old,
and he lives on Sixth street. The other
day, while reading dime novel, his
grandfather came in with the paper and
asked him to read the Presidents mes
sage. 1t irritated jackson to break off
his story just where the trapper was
going to be scalped, 80 he made up his
mind to have revenge on his grandfather.
He took up the paper aud started off as
follows:
"The business OF the patent office
shows a steady increase. Since 1886
over l55. 900 patents have been issued.
Officer Duck, Of the station-house, wants
it distinctly understood that be is not the
Duck confined there few days since as
lunatic."
WHAT exclaimed the old man, "i is
that in the message%
Right here-every word Of it" re-
piled jackson. And he continued:
"The business of the agricultural bu-
reau is rapidly growing and the depart
ment grounds are being enlarged, and
the highest prize in Chinese lottery is
twenty.nine cents, and the man who
draws 1t has his name in the paper. and
is looked upon as heap Of q fellow"
What what is that?" roared the old
man. II never heard of such mes
sage as thatl
II can't help it." replied jackson; /;
"you asked me to read the President 8
message and I'm reading it," And he
went on:
During the year 5758 applications
for army invalid pensions were allowed
at an aggregate annual rate Of $39, 1892,
and kerosene oil is the best furniture
oil; it cleanses, adds a polish and pre-
serves from the ravages of insects"
"Lor' save mel but never heard Of
the likes before" exclaimed the old
man. i've read every President 8
message since Jackson's time, but
never. saw anything like thisl
well, didn't write the message,
replied jackson, and he continued:
"During the year 3,204,3l4 acres Of
the public domain were certified to rail-
roads, against over 100000 acres the
preceding year, and you will save money
by buying your Christmas presents in
the brick block; fine toys OF every de-
seriptiou at reduced prices"
Jackson Green, does that message
read that way2" asked the old man.
| "You don't suppose Id he 10 you, do
your" inquired Jackson, putting on an
| injured look.
| well" it seems singular" mused the
old man. 81 shouldn't wonder If Grant
was tired when he wrote that"
| Jackson went on;
1 There are 1880 survivors ofthe war
Of 1872 on the pension rolls at total
annual rate of 81, ,69l, $50, and still an
| other lot of those one dollar felt skirts;
they 60 ike hot cakes on cold morn
ing" h3. J.
Hold on, Jackson-stop right thereF'
said the old man, as he rose up, you
needn't read another word of that mes
sage. II General Grant THINKS be can
insult the American people with impu-
nifty be will find himself mistaken. You
may throw the paper ia the stove, Jack
son, and let this be an awful example to
you never to taste intoxicating drinks. y
Jackson tossed the. paper away and re-
sumed his dime novel, while the old gen,
leaned back aud pondered on the degra
dation Of men in high places.

occurred to him that it would be fine

only too happy to accommodate. She
wore it ashore accordingly, but she omit

RIOT IN ST. JAMEs.-One Nam Killed
and Four Wounded.-A serious affray
occurred upon the Aymsr plantation,
in the parish of st. james about ten
miles below Donaldsonville, on Thurs
day last, and from q reliable source
we have CLEANED the following partic-
ulars. A storekeeper named Chiquet
had advanced supplies to the hands
on the Aymar place, who were work
ing on shares, and when the time Of
promised payment had passed, Mr..
Chiqnet sequestered sugar owned by
his debtors to secure his claims against
them. While the sugar was under
seizure the owners shipped some Of it
to New Orleans and sold it. Desiring
to prevent repetition of this action,
the merchant enlisted the services Of
Deputy Sheriff Adam Travis and =
posse Of six other persons, with whom
he proceeded to the place to take
charge Of the remaining hogsheads.
The laborers on the place learned of
the approach of the Deputy Sheriff,
and arming themselves they attacked
and fred upon the posse, killing
colored man named Eugene Ellor aud
wounding four others severely. Messrs.
Chiquet, Travis and one Arthur Lean
der were captured and held in custo-
dy by the infariated rioters, aud ru-
mors of terrible punishment being in
fiicted upon the prisoners circulated,
but proved entirely erroneous. When
news of the fight reached the Court
House another posse was formed, I'M
der the lead Of the chief Deputy Sher-
if J. p. Landry, and to this body no
resistance was made. The Iingleaders
of the rioters, VIM. Riley and Harry
Ross, were arrested and taken to jail.
A preliminary examination Of the case
before the Parish Judge was fixed for
yesterday, the result Of which We have
not yet learned.

THE FLErA.-This unfortunate
steamer still lies in llalf-sunken con-
dition ut the junction of the river and
Bayou Laf0urcLe, and it will be sew
1erai days yet, perhaps, ere she il
raised. It was anticipated, a. We
said last week, that the work Of ret
ting her ahoat again would occupy
but few hours, but after vainly at-
tempting to pump her out and also
raising her slightly, it was discovered
By Capt. Andrews of the Travis
Wright that there were several bad
rips in the Fleta's hull besides the
hole near her bow, and it would be
impossible to float her until another
boat could be procured to drop along
side and assist the Wright in buoying
her up. Another boat has been sent
for and is expected tonight. Capt.
Pickett went to New Orleans Just
after the disaster to the Fleta, and
procuring the steamboat Era No. 10,
reached here last Sunday morning
and took on all Of the Fleta's freight
that had been removed to shore.
Nost of the passengers who had en-
barked on the Fleta had took passage
on the Era No. 10 and were joined
here by those who had accepted the
inequalities proffered them by citi-
zens of Donaldsonville. A portion Of
the cargo Of the Fleta still remains in
her hold, and can not be removed un-
til the boat is raised.

COME BACK TO DIE.

Joseph Garcia, an Escaped Murderer,
Returns to His Friends in Z Dying
Condition After an Absence Of Twenty
Nine Months.
s.On Sunday evening, September LIST,
1877, Joseph Garcia, then acting as
Town Constable of Donaldsonville,
shot and killed John Hesbrest, better
known as John Phillip, in the Rail-
Rad cofee-house, corner Of Missis-
sippi and Lessard streets. From the
CHIEF of the ensuing Saturday we
reproduce the following particulars
IF the murder: ........
Last Sunday evening Luke Eris and John
HeSbrest became involved in difficulty in
the Railroad Coffec-house on Mississippi
street, which came from hard words to blows
While the two men we're fighting, Joseph
Garcia, Town Constable, interfered to sepa-
rate them and stop the quarrel, when Hes
brest caught him about the body, and feel
ing knife IN Garcia's belt seized it and
made lunge ut him which would doubtless
have inflicted terrible wound across the
breast had not the proprietor of the coffee
house pushed the two men together, 80 that
when Hesbrest's arm descended it fell across
Garcia's shoulder, the knife making y cash
in his back. lesbrest stabbed Garcia in the
arm, when the latter drew q revolver and
fired at his assailant three times, the first
ball missing its mark, ia il reported, the sec
Ond And third striking him, one in the right
arm, the other in the neck, sevcring the Jug
ular vein and causing Immediate death.
What made the killing SO revolving
was the fact that Hesbrest put the
knife down when Garcia drew his re-
volver, and offered to surrender. 70
this Garcia paid no heed but fired, aud
repeated the shot twice after his VIC
tim had crawled under the billiard
table, begging for mercy. Not salts
fed with this, Garcia seized billiard
cue and struck the bleeding and dy-
ing man over the head.
The murderer was arrested the fol-
lowing Wednesday and sent to Jail,
but taking advantage of the liberties
allowed him by the kind hearted and
unsuspecting jailor, he scaled the high
fence around the prison yard and es-
capped, Wednesday night, September
18th, just one week after his incar-
ceration. a
Since that time nothing definite
has been known of the whereabouts
of Garci.-though vague rumors have
occasionally reached here that llc..was
not far away, in one Of the adjacent
brulees, and it has been darkly init
mated at divers times that some Of
the fugitive's friends have been cog
INFANT Of his hiding place all along
until last Sunday evening, when it
was learned that he had been brought,
in sick and destitute condition, to
the house of his nephew, stableman
on tue Magiunis pla NATION just be-
low town on Bayou Lafourche. A
warrant was issued for his arrest
and the Sheriff would have
Garcia to the parish Jail,
but a. phyician was summoned and
that the man was dying
from consumption and to i'll too be re-
He will probably linger in
life month or two longer, but his
doom is sealed. and a dread disease
will cheat the gallows of victim.
The reason for the murlerer's strange
here is chat he knew
himself to be dying and wished to
spend his last moments near his |
friends and relatives.
