The Germans are pouring into Wash
ington county, and the negroes are
giving away before the white tida
wave, and seeking huts elsewhere.
GRANT is reported as saying that he
could be "elected tomorrow" Yes, to
haul wood into st. Louis again.
MARSHAL MCMAHON, the president
of France, has decided to hold on to

JUDGE BLoDaETT Of Chicago, has a
grim way of dealing with contumacious
bankrupts who refuse to account for
their assets; he sends them to Jail. Sal
key & Gason, clothiers, were thus dis
posed of.

In Galveston they fine man one
cent for attempting to kick another,
and thirteen dollars and sixteen cents
costs. Galveston is evidently alive

1t is well to know who, when and
where to kick.
THE present session of the legisla-
ture should be short one. The gov

adormitory" on top of our court house.

of bank aud other stock in New Or
leans since 1872, according to the state
ment prepared by J. NJ. Seixas at the

end to future frands.
OUR property holders who own eligi-
BILE building sites suitable for the pro-
posed cathedral, clergy house and
school Bishop Garrett would like to
build here, should put their heads to-
gether and act promptly. 1t is impor-
tant that they make up their minds as
