Thrilling Incidents of the Storm at
IndianOla.

A thrilling incident of the late storm at In.
dianola is given by q young lady who was
saved almost by miracle. She, in company
with thirty five others, men, women and chill
dren, sought refuge in one OF the most sub
stantial dwellings in the place. Gradually
the water rose, and the waves dashed wharf
and other timber5 against the house with If
retistibie fury. The scene, as depicted, was
heart-rending. AS the waves reached the
upper story, grown people and children were
alike Mortified at the dangers OF the situation,
the latter piteously pleading with their moth
ers to save them.
At length the roof of the building was
lifted off, and only four or five succeeded in
getting on it. The young lady who tells the
sad tale was one of these-the rest were
drowned. The frail roof was soon dashed to
pieces, when she seized hold OF piece OF
timber that was floating by, clinging hold,
meantime, to little girl, the child of friend.
As she was driven by the wind the frail sup
port was now on the crest of wave and now
submerged To add to the extreme peril of
her situation, q pet bear swan to the piece
of timber and clambered upon it, wrapping
o chain by which it had been secured twice
around her body. BY a despeIa effort she
rid herself of the chain, and at that moment
a large log was thrown with such force against
the bear as to kill it, and thus her life was
saved from that peril
Meantime, as her support was driven under
the water she lost hold Of the little girl, who
was drowned. The young lady chung to the
timber with the strength Of despair While
being carried through the town 1t seemed to
her that she would every moment be crushed
by falling houses or by the debris that was
being dashed towards her by the surging
waves. Strange to say, she escaped these
numberless dangers. She does not state how
long she was thus tossed about, but when she
was at length washed upon land she ap-
preached some men at work on the shore and
then learned that she was nine miles from
Indianola When she was rescued nearly all
her clothing had been torn off and she was
conside rably bruised though not seriously in
jured.
Here is another incident of the flood, as
related by an exchange:
A man with his wife and four children
were forced to take tree to I'VE themselves
during the storm. The tree swayed to and
fro With the violence of the wind, and threat
ened to fall with its heavy burden. The old
couple concluded that some one must be
sacrificed to save the rest. After a consulta-
ton the wife said she was not prepared to
die, and urged her husband to drop himself
into eternity; but he. too, was not ready, and
the matter was compromised by launching
the two youngest children into the surging
waters A few hours after they We're rescued.
The old man told the story himself to those
who saved him.

SOUTHERN SCALAwAGs AND THE NEXT PREsI-
pENr.-A Washington dispatch says the
Southern Republicans who arrive in that city
seem to be more interested in the question OF
the next Presidency than in any intermediate
matter. Some of them are talking very
favorably Of Gov Hayes, of Ohio, as candi-
date. while it is certain that there is move
ment on foot in behalf of Chief Justice Waite.
The Sou,herners say that the candidate
must be a Western man, and that he must be
a man against whom there are no animosities
within the party. Prominent among those
engaged in this movement are Judge Settle,
of North Carolina, and Judge Hugh l.. Bond
of Baltimore, who have recently made West
ern trip in the interest of Mr.. Waite. 1t is
claimed, says the dispatch, that this move
ment is not untavorably regarded at the White
House.

THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION. Contrary 10
various fears, hopes and expectations cleo
ton day appears to have been as quiet in Mis-
sissIppi as any one, even Quaker could have
wished. The Democrats have carried the
State, and this puts an end to the scandalous
misrule of Gov. Ames, which was as hateful
to the honest Republicans of Mississippi as to
the Democrats. Yesterday showed that At
torney- General Pierrepont was wise in refus-
ing to interfere in Mississippi at the demand
of the Governor, and that such Republicans
as ex-senator Pease, District Attorney Wells
and United States Marshal Lake were right
in advising that the Federal Government
should keep its hands off.
The responsibility for peace and good gov
eminent will rest after the Legislature meets,
upon the Democrats, and the country will
watch their conduct with some curiosity and
a lively hope that they will prove just and
honest rulers. 1t is probable that the new
Legislature will impeach and remove Gov.
Ames, which will be a disappointment to
him, as he hoped that it would be of CON-
plexion to elect him to the United States Sem
ate.-N I. Herald

~
He was born a king, if to command the obe-
dience of men be the whole art of king ship,
which may be doubted. He seems in general
to have acted on the plan of Frederick the
Great: that is, he demanded nothing but sue
cess from his lieutenants and was careless of
the means they tookto obtain it. Only failure
he would never forgive. 1t was favorite say
ing of his that he never judged men but by
results. 1t was to no purpose that Massena
gave excellent reasons for his defeat by We'll
lington: Napoleon wanted victories, and not
explanations.
There is foolish story to which so eminent
man as South could give credence, to the
effect that Admiral Vllleneuve was assassinated
by order of the Emperor after his disgrace at
Trafalgar. There can be no serious doubt
that the unfortunate commander committed
suicide in sheer terror at the idea of an inter-
view with the stern master whose plans he had
caused to mscarry.
1t is fair to add that those of the captains
who were successful had no need to complain
that their services were insufficiently appre-
ciated. Even Massena had acquired an in
come of $l55, 900, while his star was in the
ascendant. Soult had $780, 900; Davoust $780,
600; while Berthier, Prince of Neuchatel, en-
loved princely revenue of some $27O, 600
tThey will no longer fight" Napoleon once
exclaimed in moment of detection, referring
to his generals 81 have made them too rich"
1t may be suspected that it was rather
from motives of policy than of gratitude that
Napoleon thus created the fortunes of his
marshals in day. He was anxious to estab-
iish as a support to his throne a powerful
aristocracy, which in splendor and Ito do
him justice) in the brilliancy of its achieve
ments should rival the old nobility of France.
He forgot, however, that though monarchy
and democracy can exist and have existed
without prescription, an aristocracy to be
venerable must absolutely bear the seal of
antiquity In none of his projects had Crom-
well failed more helplessly than in his attempt
to reconstruct the House of Lords in Eng
land Napoleon, it is true, did not propose
to confer Legislative functions on his mobiles as
such; nevertheless he intended them to be n
privileged class, and this alone was a more
courageous than wise idea on the morrow of
l7S9-Ine GdLdIu.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION IN THE

Both Office. Holders Under the State Gov.
eminent.

About IL NJ. George Z. Paris was arraigned
before Judge Evans, of the First Municipal
Court, being charged by DR.. A. Chastant
| Coroner, with the murder of VIM. Weeks.
Dr. A. Chastant testified as to the appearance
| and nature of the wounds inflicted by Paris
upon Weeks, two OF which were penetrating
and necessarily mortal, being in the chest
and abdomen, in the left lumbar region.
The other witnesses testified in substance
the same as when before the Coroners iury.
After the testimony Of all the witnesses,
Judge Evans remanded the prisoner without
the benefit of bail, and Paris last night spent
his time in the Parish Prison.
The inquest was then adjourned until to.
day at l o'clock.
1t will be remembered that Wee ks was AS.
sistant Secretary of State under Kellogg, and
that the murderer-Paris- was State Assesso,
under the same man. The affair occurred in
the noted den on. Where street known as the
Louisiana Club Room, but which is nothing
more nor less than a rendezvous for negro
