Some OF the Testimony Before the
Louisiana Investigating Committee.

A New Orleans special of the LIST to
the Chicago Inter-Ocean gives the follow
ing, which is sample of much of the
evidence adduced before that com
mittee:
"The evidence to-day and tonight be-
fore the committee was more than
enough to convince them, with that
which has already been offered of the
innumerable murders committed through
out the State and of the gross fraud and
intimidation practiced. One witness tes-
tilted to two negroes being taken out at
night, blindfolded and laid face down
ward in the road by White Leaguers,
who put their pistols close to their vic.
TINS heads and fred. One was killed
outright, and both left for dead but the
ball glanced on the head of the second,
and he recovered. and left the country
A third was shot soon after, and the
Coroner feared even to hold IN inquest.
Mr.. Maxey, one of the witnesses who
testified last week, was maltrentcd in a
store here to-day, and retraction of his
evidence demanded, but not accorded
Judge Levsse, of Shreveport, and For
committee tonight, the former giving a
clearer account of the difficulties in
Caddo than any previous witness, and
the latter supplying much new evidence,
stating among other things that McEnery
even had his militia armed and organ
lied for weeks before the election. Be
ing quite prominent man, and formerly
from Chicago, the Leaguers attempted
to assassinate Forsythe, their designs
being only being thwarted by informa-
ton conveyed him by a brother Mason,

Dresses and BOnnets In Paris.

Dresses longer and longer, and cling
ing closer and closer, with all the trim
mings imaginable and not yet imagined
such is the aspect of the present tot.
let's Large perpendicular pleats, some
in the middle of the back and others on
the sides bordering the tabier and form
ing its revers-such are the most popu.
lar features, if any preference can DC
discerncd amidst so much variety Bows
made either Of ribbon or Of the material
of the dress, flounces, puts, ruches, bias
folds, fringe and lacc--such are the ele-
ments from which are combined the
trimmings of dresses. Steel buttons in
the form OF star are new, and form a
simple and effective ornament of gray
velvet toilets.
The association of two shades Of the
same color, one very dark and the otner
very light, or else of two different col
ors, will be largely used during the com
ing spring. Very dark blue-gray and
very light blue-gray are the fashionable
shades. Among the different colors that
are combined in a dress, those which are
seen oftenest together are gray and blue,
olive bronze ami blue, flesh pink or sal
mon and garnet. and violet and light
green. The dressmakers of the day are
forced to study painting, or at least the
works of celorists, for the least doubtful
combination would make this fashion a
ridiculous fright
If every dress has a different trim
ming it must be added that there has
never been seen so great a diversity IN
the shape of waists and sleeves. Al
though the cuirass or armor waist IS uni.
versally worn for street dresses as well
as for evening toilets, it must not be
concluded that these are all alike. 1t Is
true that all participate in the same
style; but as every lady has number OF
dresses, she naturally wishes them to
vary in style. The waists are therefore
made with round points in front and
basques turned up behind; with revers,
single or double breasted, and buttoned
at the side; with hesrt-shaped or square
necks, or closed at the throat sud opening

Shark Shot by u Boy.

In a small arm Of the bay, between
Black Point and the Preside, is favor
tie spot for sportsmen who love duck
hunting at this season of the year, and
for boys who love swimming during the
summer months. One popularity has
been noticed OF late by hunters, and that

quently noticed that when ducks were
killed and the dogs sent in for them, sud-
denly the dog would disappear and never
again reappear.
Yesterday lad was out ducking, and
had favOritc dog with him. At the
place spoken of the youthful Nimrod
shot among some ducks and killed one.
His dog went in and secured the game,
with which he was returning. But when
near the shore he was seen to struggle
suddenly and then 60 under the water,
but Immediately came to the surface
again, faithfully holding his game, but
suffering in the power of some strong
monster.
The boy seeing the situation Of his pet
did not hesitate long, but waded in to
where the dog appeared, and selling
him tugged manfully to help him to land
1t was with the greatest effort that ne
pulled the lacerated beast 10 shoal water,
where he found himself and dog in an
tagonism with shark. The lad had re-
Iicved his dog, and rushing out Of the
water seized his gun that lay upon the
sand and shot the shark before it could
again founder into deep water. The
dog was badly torn about the quarters,
and will be of little use in future.
The boys name could not be learned,

deal of credit and commentator for his
brave act and humane effort.-San Fran

Gen. Grants 1nird Tern, Letter.

IN The last Democrat something was
said about the preposterous charge that
Gen. Grant desired or asked for third
Term IN the Presidency. There has new
er been good substantial reason why
he wanted or would accept another
Term. IL Is true concerted effort mas
been made by his enemies TO establish
the charge. A few iniudicious friends
have advocated his claim to another
Term. But when the article in the Dem.
ocrat was written nothing was known
about the personal wishes or sentiments
or conclusions OF Gen. Grant on thi
question.
Since that time letter from the Presi-
dent has been received. and he has with
his usual clearness and trankness set at
rest al the floating coDjectures on this
subject. We have never felt as if the
whole affair deserved q serious thought.
4he head OF sensational paper wanted
sensation and fancied q little romance
would DO II and entered upon Caezarism
and Third Term, in the same way as
hilkie Collins entered upon his last nov
e.. II the same Journal could have
supposed that Gen1 Grant was going TO
turn Mormon, join Brigham Young,
raise Latter day army, and annex
the United States 70 Utah. it would have
answered its purpose as well.
The recent Republican Convention in
Pennsylvania, passed q resolution, declar-
ing against Third Term and asserting
that 1t was not in accordance with the
unwritten constitution OF the Republic.
Gent. Grant broke silence simply to
convey to Pennsylvania and the rest of
mankind his position on this question.
The letter is published elswhere to show
TO the readers Of the Democrat that all
the political capital that has been or
san be manufactured out OF this illusion,
was and is unworthy of one moments
consideration. As political capital il is
only waste and rubbish. The Presidents
silence'gave it Importance, and it will
be seen that his written language and
sentiments. plainly expressed, do not
satisfy his enemies. They will not be-
lieve him and stop the romance although
he has spoken candidly and clearly.
