And these unhappy matches have not

which they have raised their daugh-
ter; for it is perfectly natural for any
really virtuous and sensible woman,
who has been properly raised, to be
attentive to those household affairs
which render home pleasant and at
trac.ive, to be considerable of her hus-
bands wishes, kind, affectionate and
coniding; but if she sees that these
are not appreciated, that her marks
of affection are received with indifier-
ence and her own comfort and happi-

careless and indifferent; for it is con-
trary to the modest, sensitiye nature
of true woman to brook neglect or

Assassination of a Lawyer.

The North Louisiana Journal Of
Dec 26th says:
On Tuesday morning the entire
community was shocked beyond meas
ure by the news of the assassination
of Mr.. James W. Clinton, talented
and prominent member Of the Tensas
bar and one of the law firm of Steele,
Clinton & Garrett.
During his residence in this parish
Mr.. Clinton has commanded the adj
miration and won the esteem of all
with whom be came in contact, either
socially or in business, consequently
the shock was generally felt through
out the circle where his name was
known and loved.
The telegram received by Judge
Steele announcing the sad tidings,
briefly stated that he had been assas-
sinated on Friday evening, the 18th
instant, within three miles of his
fathers home, and his dead body
found the following Monday morning,
and that there was no clue as to who
the assassins were. Mr.. Clinton left
here on Tuesday morning by The Par
goud, to spend Christmas with his
aged parents, near Darlington, st.
Helena parish, and was bright with
hope and JOY at the prospect of meet
ing his family, for never vas there a
more dutiiui son.
The brief details above given are
all that We have concerning this terri
he affair. As soon as the news Of bis
Death spread through the community,
the feelings Of grief and sorrow occa-
stoned bv 1t Was succeeded by violent
indignation aud in a few hours The
sum of $1,000 was subscribed bv the
citizens, white aud colored, in and
around st, Joseph, TO be paid as re-
ward for the arrest and conviction of
his murderers.
We learn from a relative Of Mr..
Clinton, that he bad been to the rail
road station with his alliance, who was
going to New Orleans to purchase her
wedding tIouseau, which circum-
stance may lead to the discovery of
his murderer, as it gives the affair the
appearance Of being the work of a
rival lover.

The Franklin Sun of the 2nd inst.
says:
A horrible murder was committed
on the western border of our little
town last Thursday night, which
created quite sensation in the COM
munity. 1t seems that Nathan Burl,
who was one of our hlgly esteemed
colored citizens, was demanded on
said plight to open his door, and on
doing SO was shut several times and
fell dead. Upon bearing the report
of the guns, his son, a lad of l6 years,
bounced from his bed and started for
out doors, but hadn't more than
reached the end of the gallery before
be also fell, pierced with bullets.

Insuring the Success of the War
Against the Whisky Ring.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Major Blu
ford Wilson, Solicitor of the Treasury,
returned tonight, after an absence of
over month spent in advising with
United States officers engaged in pros.
ecuting whisky frauds. He has visited
al, prominent places West, where Illicit
whisky operations were discovered.
Evidence, of which the Government
had collected, was laid before the pro-
per law officers, and fully explained,
All cases are in excellent shape, and
the only delay in any quarter now
arises from the fact that most courts
are in summer recess. In all the prin-
cipal cities the chief members of the
ring have been discovered, and much
valuable evidence has been secured.
Instances have been discovered where
Government officials OF prominence
have been holding very suspicious re-
lations to those they are supposed to
be prosecuting, and the public will
soon know these gentlemen by their
removal.

John Blanchard's Aunt.

She was talking of returning home
WHEN young John, walking home from
school one evening, was seen to leap
clear from the ground and heard to eX-
claim
III do it this very night -
That evening his wearied aunt, repos-
ing on the sofa. asked him to bring her
a glass of water. Floating on top of the
water was a pumpkin seed, rubbed as
smoth as glass. and securely tied around
the seed was silk thread twenty feet
long. She raised the glass and down
went the seed, and pretty soon she
coughed two or three times and COM
blamed of tickling in her throat. lie
reached out and gave the string pull,
and she spraug up with a yell.
Did something bite YOU he inquired
with great solicitudc.
I've got ha-ha-hair in my tn
throat-a-h-h.' She gasped, coughing
vigorously.
MAY be you swallowed a hair snaken'
he suggested. giving the string another
pull.
Il did did-a-h-ha," she scream-
ed, Il feel it biting me-
Does it seem to move: he asked jerk
ing the string again.
"Y-yes-ah!'' she yelled, clawiug a.
round.
Her hand struck the string, and after Il
little investigation she found that it was
attached to something,
''Well now-you've swallowed the toy
made for baby - he said. IL, lac hauled
in on the string and lifted her of the
lounge.
She caughcd-gasped-made motions
and rolled her eyes, and that boy kept
jerking the string while he SympathiZed
with her. and demanded to know how he
could aid her. His mother was down to
the grocery, and when she returned she
found the aunt choking and coughing in
the big arm chair, aud John stood ten
feet off holding the string and telling her
to cough hard while he pulled. 1t was
finally decided to cut the string close to
her mouth and let her swallow it but all
night she tossed and groaned and sighed
for fear she had swallowed lead nckle
or a horse fly instead of pumpkin seed.
She took the cars for home yesterday.
and when John serenely kissed her good
by at the depot and slipped a well-worn
euchre deck into her pocket, she wiped
her eyes and said that it seemed to her as
il he wouldn't live long-he was 80 good.
