lively that they will not come South
this winter to vend cheap salvation.
While we are plunged into the
depths of anguish at this news, we

eloquently described in Moody's

~ The following is from the Dom
aldsonville Chief, a Republican pa
per:
Since the publication of our arti-
Gle relative to the killing and steal
ing of cattle, hogs poultry, etc, in
the seventh and eighth wards Of
this parish, several fresh depreda-
tiOns have been committed. A
widow lady in poor circumstances,
residing-at the Dutch Stores settle
ment, has lost couple Of valuable
mich cows, both of which were kill
ed by thieves for the beef; and one
of the farmers to whose losses we
referred in the article mentioned has
recently suffered to a like extent.
We are informed that such occurren.
ces are also quite frequent in the
third ward, where the thieves have
the same protection of the woods
that is afforded them in wards seven
and eight. As we before explained,
it is difficult to apprehend these
scoundrelly stock killers and thieves
in the commission of their outrages,
as they move under cover of the
woods and do most of their foul
work at night; but their identity is
generally known to their honest
neighbors, aud we believe If few
leading citizens Of the wards speci-
fed were to come together aud con
suit upon the matter, they can de-
wise some feasible plan, in conjuDc-
ton with the officers of the law, to
suppress these ontrages and detect
and punish the perpetrators.

n Our SEMIWEEKLY, as re-
marked in our first issue, is an expe-
riment; but one that we believe will
be success. No effort, or labor,
shall be wanting on our part to
make it such. It ought to be a
source of pride to the citizens of
Bossier that they have a SEMI
WEEKLY. The one that is now
feeling out for support, is the first
in the history Of the parish.
Our object in changing the Week
~ to a Semi Weekly, is. not for the
purpose of making money, although
We should not object if such should
be the result. Cur principal object
is, in the stirring times fast an
preaching, to reach our subscribers
with the news of the day as often
as possible, and we would suggest to
our citizens who do not have mail
facilities, to club together aud make
some arrangement to have their pa
pers sent to some central place. by
which they may be enabled to re
ceive them regularly, and soon after
publication day.
We would also be obliged to any
OF our subscribers, for any local
news in their immediate vicinity
which weshall take pleasure in pub.

WOmen's Charm OfNeedIe Work.

There is something exquisitely pleas
ant and tOuching-at least of very
sweet, soft and winning effect-in this
popularity of fneedle-wOrk, distinguish
ing men from women. Our own sex
is incapable of any such by-play aside
from the main business OF life; but wo-
men-be they of what earthly rank
they may, however gifted with intel
lecf or genius, or endowed with artful
beauty-have always some little handi-
work ready to fill up the tiny gap of
every vacant moment. A needle is
familiar tC the fingers of them all. A
queen, no doubt, piles it ON occasions;
the wOman-pOet can use it as adrOity
as her pei; the woman's eye that has
discovered new star turns from its
glory to send the polished little in
strument cleaning along the hem of
her kerchief, or to darn casual flaw in
her dress. And they have the advant-
age of us in this respect. The slender
thread of silk or cotton keeps them
united with the small, familiar, gentle
interests of life; the continually operat-
ing influences do much for the health
OF the character, and carry off what
would otherwise be dangerous accu-
mutation of morbid sensibility. A
vast deal of human sympathy runs
along this electric line, stretching from
the throne to the wicker chair of the
humblest seamstress, and keeping high
and low in a species of common upiOn
with their Kindred beings. Methinks
it is token OF healthy and gentle
characteristics when women of accemp-
lishments and high thoughts love 20
sew, especially as they are never more
at home with their own hearts, than
when so occupied Haiothor7ae's Mar
Die Fd,u."

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Steubenville Gdzette says: Cary sale
''an infatated currency would benefit all ow
manufacturers" Cary will probably admit
that Horace Greeley was about as well posted
on this question as himself. On the 231th
page of Greeley's Political Economy we find
the following: 81 firmly believe that an in
f1ated currency is injurious to manufacturers
as to every other producing interest"
Thomas H. Benton said in 1881: .'If were
going to establish workingman's party, it
should be on the basis of hard money! hard
money party against paper money party.
Paper money banks tend to aggravate the in
equality of fortunes, to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, to multiply nabobs and
paupers. Paper money is injurious to the
laboring classes, because they receive no favors,
and the price of the property they wish to ac-
quire is raised to the paper maximum, while
wages remain at the speice minimum.
Senator Sargent made neat little computa-
tion in his recent speech at San Francisco.
"Have you," said he, Thought, fellow citl-
zens, that the reduction Of the national debt
has been S120 minute since you have sat
here and l commence talking? Taking the
average of the whole time, the reduction Of
the debt has gone on at that rate. Why, take
your watch and look at it. See the second
hand as it flies, at each tick of the second
hand, 50 during the whole time since Grants
ipallp1laratiOn nv day and nv nipht 1DOn
weekday and upon Sunday 50 per second in
gold has gone off the national debt" Com
ment is superfiuOus.

The Partnership Between Cath
Olics and Democrats i'm Ohio.


From the Toledo Blade
The ReUieso of this citg, which is recognized
as the leading Democratic and Catholic organ
of Northwestern Ohio, does not hesitate to
proclaim the union of feeling, interest and
purpose existing between the Roman Catholic
church and the Democratic party. In its issus
of to-day, is says: IT,. --
g That every Cxtholic will vote the
Democratic ticket is moral certainty; the
one who dose not do so would be false to him.
self and his own best interesrs. The only
political favor that Catholics have ever receiv-
ed in this country has come from the hands of
the Democratic party"
Here is not only an acknowledgment of a
union existing between modern Democracy
and Catholicism, but there is reason assigned
it. Catholics, the ReUiep says, should vote
the Democratic ticket, and why? Because
the Democrats legislate to give the Catholics
special fayors not granted to Protestants. As
evidence that such is the case, the Recieso
might refer to the Geghan law and to the pro-
position to exempt Catholics from taxation
for the support of common schools. With
such public declarations of union between
the Democratic party and the Roman Catholic
church, by which the votes of the latter are to
be given to the Democratic ticket, in return
for which the Decratic party is to do all in its
power to promote the interests and supremacy
of the Catholic church, it is difficult to see
how any Protestant can vote the Democratic
ticket. In doing SO, he would not only vote
to crush out religious freedom, but to give
power and control to the Catholic church.

and came to this county, visiting Coff-
man, and representing himselfas Thos.

Fletcher & Sharpe's bank, drew check
on the Hancock County National Bank

dorsed the draft. Graham secured the
money and left. He is described as

good complexion, right eye blind or
contracted, and of good conversational

NOrdhcff and Negro Suffrage.

Mr.. Cherries NOrdhof says in his last
letter from Alabama: No thoughtful
man can examine the history of the last
ten years in the South, as he may hear
it on the spot and from all sides, with
out being convinced that it was abso-
lutely necessary to the security of the
blacks and the permanent peace of the
Southern communities to give the ne
gro, ignorant, poor and helpless as he
was, every political right and privilege
which any other citizea enjoys. That
he should vote and that he should be
capable of holding Office was necces-
sary, L am persuaded, to make him
personally secure, and, what is of more
importance, to convert him from
freedman into a free man. / will add
that in this view many Southern Dem
ocrats concur. If the North had not
given the negroes suffrage it would
have had to hold our States under an
exclusively military Government for
ten years. said such man to me-

AN INDIAN ROMANCE.
The Love and Death of Spotted
Tail's Daughter.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
| A sad sweet story is told of the dsugh-
ter of. Spotted Tail, q noted Indian
Chief, which illustrates most forcibly
the truth of the oft-quoted remark.
One touch of nature makes the whole
world KIM During the latter years
of the recent war, the family of Spotted
Tail resided at Fort Laramie, and
among them was his favorite daughter,
a young girl just emerging into the
mysterious realm of womanhood. The
fort was garrisoned by a regiment of
Ohio volunteers, ,and among The officers
was young man of good address and
handsome appearance, with whom the
young Indian girl became infatuated.
Her passion was not reciprocated by
the officer, who had honor enough to
tell the child of the forest that he did
not and could not love her or marry
her. She, princess, and daughter Of
the haughtiest Indian chief inthe West,
could not be made to understand why
she was not a fitting bride for anyone.
Day by day she would dress herself in
her most gorgeous apparel, and, going
to the fort, would sit down upon the
doorstep of the young officer, content
with being near him, and happy when
her eyes rested upon him. Spotted
Tail was absent, but when he heard Of
the sad story of his daughters infatua-
ton, he came to her and demonstrated,
but to no avail. Finally, he had her
removed to the Rocky Mountains,
where she might not see her soldier
lover. Soon message came to the
father. The daughter was dying of a
broken heart. He hurried to her side
and heard her, With all the simple elo-
quence of her race, plead that he would
remain at peace with the pale-faces,
because the one she loved was of them,
and they could not be bad. She want
ed her body carried to Laramie and
buried near the fort, that in death she
might lie near him for the love Of
whom she died. Thither they bore
her aud laid her in the grave as do the
pale-faces their dead; and this, the sto-
ry of Spotted Tails daughter is told to-
day around the camp-fires in the great
West,

The Cost of the Trial.

1t is no easy matter to estimate tie
cost of the trial of the cause of T'iltOn
against Beecher. 1t is not genarally
known to any newspaper man what
fees counsel receive. The trial has cost
the county of Kings at least $4,000.
The jurors have received $4,000. The
total jury expense, including panels OF
1,5O0 men, amounts to 1914. The
County Treasurer has paid out $26, ,154
as the county's share of the expense of
the Tilton- -Beecher trial. This does not
include the pay of the detailed police
men, which will foot up large sum,
neither does it embrace the bill of Mr..
Parker for feeding the jury. Mr.. Beech
er's trial expenses can hardly be less
than $4,000. Mr.. Tilton is out of pock-
ct some $4,000, which amount he will
easily earn as soon as the lecture season
begins. All told, $4,000 is a moder-
ate estimate of the cost of the great
suit.
