pie who take time by the forelock in
matters of dress. They must do so, for
in these days it takes, by moderate COM
putation, two weeks for woman work
inc all the time to make dress. This
is the allowance by the most skilful dress
makers, and it not seldom takes that
time to do the trimmings alone. For
the comfort of ladies who do their own
work, am happy to say that the old
style of dress, with long plain skirt and
waist attached to it, will be worn the
coming spring. Such models are on
display in the windows as leading styles.
The prettiest fabric out, is fine check in
black and white, crossed by a single
bright color, which gives it fresh spring
like look, while it is quite modest enough
for the street. AS it comes in soft wool
goods, plain woven, both light and dur
able, and very wide, it will be tavorite
with ladies', as it is sure to be with men
because it is so bright and pretty.

MarveloussMe Memory of a Four
Year Old Boy.

James Martin Williams, a beautiful
little boy residing with his parents in this
city, has lately given evidences of powers
that astonish every n @ He is not yet
four years old, and only learned his let
tiers q few months since. Unlike most
persons who posses one faculty far in ex-
cess of others. he is perfect in all. His
eye bespeaks intelligence, his mind is
we'll matured in everything for his age,
and in his demeanor he is childlike and
winning. Recently a reporter of the
Advertiser visited him at his home, and
with others witnessed his most wonderful
answer given him by his father. Sitting
on his fathers knee, he gave prompt re-
plies to his..parents, telling the names of
all the planets, their characteristics, their
distance from the sun and positions in
the heavens. In history, he proved to be
q very encyclopedia Of knowledge. The
ancient Kings, their wars, the rise and
fall of the Roman Empire, the career Of
Bonaparte, the times Of tho death and the
age of the rulers Of England the settle
meat of this country, and similar facts,
were as familiar to him as the alphabet
to IN older person. lie named the cap
ital of every State in the Union and Of
every foreign country, and evinced a
knowledge of the Scriptures, the only
parallel Of which was Christ in the Tenn
pie. He repeated whole chapters of the
Bible, and spoke in a childlike manner,
just as though rafting of the ~veriest
commonplace remarks of other children
of his age.
The first indication Of this marvellous
faculty came to his parents in this way
They are religious people, and each NOR.
ming read from the Scriptures before
prayer. Shortly after the exercises one
morning, several months ago, his mother
was astonished to hear him repeating,
word for word, the lines from the Bible
which he had heard read an hour or so
before. She called him to her, and found
hat he could recite other portions of the
holy book. She commenced teaching him
his letters, and in an hour and a half he
had learned the whole. He progressed
with wonderful rapidity, and soon could
spell. A physician was consulted, and
they were advised to keep the boy away
from books, and not allow him to study,
as his health would not allow it. Since
that time he has been read to by his
father, and nov remembers everything he
has heard.
His parents are intelligent people, in
ordinary circumstances, and can not in
any way account for the remarkable men,
DRY o. their child. He is q marvel, and
astouuds all who have heard him.

A SINGULAR CASE,
Can a Lawyer Be Held Liable
for Internationally Mis-.
leading His Client

From the Troy IN. " Times.
A singular case has recently been,
to an extent, made public in this city, in
volvipg the question as to whether or not
a lawyer can be held peculiarly response.
BILE Tor Internationally misleading bis
client, as to an account of encumbrances
upon real estate after making search.
Several years ago, the owner of two houses
on State street gave a well known citi-
a mortgage on this property for money
loaned. The amount was about $4,000,
and the mortgage was good as against
either or both the houses. subsequently
q third person desired to purchase one of
the houses. He employed a lawyer to
make the search, and was informed that
no circumference existed on the property,
although the mortgage above mentioned
had been placed on record the day SUBJ
sequent to its execution. The house was
sold to the third person, no mention
being made of the mortgage by the mort
gageor. A portion of the purchase
money was paid, and the purchaser con-
tinued to occupy his home unmolested for
more than a year. Within a few weeks
past a notice OF foreclosure was served
upon him, greatly to his surprise, and the
property was about to be advertised for
sale. The purchaser, Of course, imme.
diately consulted his lawyer, who then
| discovered that he had made an error in
searching the records. The question just
now agitating The mind of the unfortunate
purchaser is whether his lawyer is liable
for the error. The mortgageor, in defense
of himself, says he did not know really
what the mortgage covered, and would
not have sold the property as he did if he
had been aware of the fact that it was
mortgaged. The difficulty will without
q doubt be amicably settled, as the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the second house will
nearly if not quite pay the mortgage. 1t
is said by members ofthe legal fraternity
that the lawyer in the above case could
be held responsible for damages, the same
as in the case Of acounty clerk making an
erroneous search.

Mr.. Lamar, Gov. Kellogg and the
Returning Board.

Commenting upon Mr.. Lamar's ILL.,
hammered and unjustifiable dispatch
to General Walthall, the Chicago Tri-
bune of November Is says:
1t appears from the above that Mr..
Lamar has gone 70 New Orleans, not
in the interest of peace, but in favor
of the policy of the Chicago Times,
namely, to " clean out F" the officials in
authority. Mr.. Lamar's language does
not become him. 1t was an unseemly
act for him to go to New Orleans at
all, but. having gone it was his duty
above all things to have assumed a
modest aud humble tone, to have COM
ported himself with quietness, and to
have made as few Suggestions as pos
sible. Mr.. Lamar has been elected by
the most unblnshing fraud and the
most outrageous terrorism upon the
Mississippi plan, the proofs of which
were furnished in overwhelming pro-
fusion and completeness before the
Oxford grand jury. That damning
evidence, although it was suppressed,
has never been denied. He holds his
position by a virtual fraud, and repre-
sents the minority of the people of
Mississippi. Probably $4,000 voters
have been DISTINGUISHED. He may
urge, like Me-. Watterson, that a ma
jority of these are plantation hands
and laborers, but they are none the
less citizens, and just as much entitled
TO vote, as Mr.. Lamar and Mr.. Wat
terson. 1t was bad enough to apply
the Mississippi plan in that State for
the benefit of Mr. Lamar; TO apply it
now III Louisiana for the benefit of
Mr.. Tilden is still worse. Mr.. La
mars temper is unworthy of a man
who has had some reputation hither-
to for frankness and moderation.

DONALDsONVILIE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER

the District are on the verge of ruin
having lost heavily by Moulton, ant
later by Shepherd. Many mushroom
nabobs who have sprung up here
within the past ten years, and who
have astonished old residents 10y theil
great display of wealth, are now re-
, garded with much suspicion.
The committee appointed during
the last session of Congress to inquire
into the needs of the people of this
District, preparatory to the adoption
OF some form of permanent govern
ment, is now busy with it's investiga-
tions and will, it is understood, report
soon after the reassembling of Con-
gress. 1t is generally believed they
will report favorably to giving our
citizens the right of self government.
But it is question with many wheth-
er We would not be much better gov
erned under the direct control of
Congress.
Many preparations are being made
for the reOpening of the fashionable
season with the reassembling of Con-
gress, which, it is by every intelligent
person admitted, now bids fair TO be
one OF the most stormy and exciting

of IS60-I. ~

U n o. Republican, Nov. 81:
Several days ago Allen Johnson mur-
dered Joseph N. Galtney, an old man,
in Tensas parish. which is his second
bloody crime. He was convicted and
sentenced last June for murder, but
made his escape, and while at large
killed Galtney. He was then cap
tared. and the people were SO incensed
that they intended to lynch him. The
authorities of Tensas parish tele-
graphed to Attorney General Steele
last Sunday, requesting Governor
Kellogg to sign Johnson's death war
rant and have it forwarded at once.
Governor Kellogg yesterday morning
signed the warrant, fixing next Friday
for the day of execution. The docu-
ment has been dispatched, and the
murderer has but short time to pray
forgiveness of his sins.

Bazile Narcisse, residing in Hahnville.
met with an exceedingly painful ac-
cident on Wednesday night, at the su
ga,mill of the Kenmore plantatio in
which he was employed. 1t appears
that his position was alongside of the
roller and his duty to straighten the
cane as it came forward on the carrier
40 as to be properly crushed. In per-
forming this work he imprudently
used his right foot, which was caught
by the roller and instantly smashed
into jelly. The remorseless machine
pulled him along and it was not until
his leg as high as the thigh had been
crushed that the ponderous machin-
cry of the mill could be stopped and
the unfortunate man rescued from
the certain death which awaited him.
He was removed home and medical
aid procured. His condition is pre-
carious. +

The Crime of Louisiana.

1t Is an old device for the aItful
dodgers to cry stop thief" 1t is IL
common trick for the violators of the
ballot box to divert attention by the
shout OF fraud. The Democratic rep
resentatives are crying out against
Threatened fraud in Louisiana and,
under cover of this artifice, they are
themselves perpetratiug IL monstrous
crime against free suffrage.
We d" not make this grave charge
without proof. We do not impute
wrong intent where there is no evil
dence, as the Democratic Journals do.
| We DO not present it ;ls danger that
tiif'eatens but as d crime already at
tempted, and, SO far as Democratic
power goes, already cansummated
More than that, we do not rest this
| awful accusation upon vague and ir-
responsible reports that may he un-
just, but ON the Testimony of The Dem
ocratic representatives themselves.
They are the witnesses and their own
evidence convicts them.
Ihe factt are presented in another
column, and need not here be re-
peated IN detail But consider the
salient features. There are five par
isiles in Louisiana where violence
and fraud are specially reported. In.
these parishes there is ii large colleen-
tiation of colored population. The
blacks Outrnmber the whites more
than two To one. AS the blacks are
uniformly and overwhelmingly on the
Republican side, every presumpti0il
would be that the Republican vote is
double the Democratic. And SO it
has been in every preceding election
In 1874 the Republican majority was
1919; IN 1872 it was 5087. But now,
with a colored population of 43,849
and white population of l6 93l, the
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee claims Democratic ma
jority of 4416.
There isn't an honest De mocrat
who reads these lines but knows that
such result is only possible through
crime and fraud. There isn't an in
telligent Democrat in the North who
will answer to his conscience that he
believes such a change has really
taken place. When we charge vio-
lation of the ballot box upon the basis
OF these facts, it is no guess work.
The moral demonstration is absolute.
lt is as clear as the proof of fraud
in the eighth ward of this city. 1t
stands out sharp and unanswerable
on the very face of the figures. There
isn't an honest Democrat in Albany
who would stake his reputation for
sound mind npon the claim that so
marvellous a change is natural and
legitimate.
No! the case is clear While crying
out that Republicans intend fraud,
the Democratic managers in Louis
lana are convicted upon their own re-
ports of having committed a crime
against the ballot box of the most fla
grant and monstrons character. And
yet even with that crime and with all
their estima ties, they only claim the
State by 1000 majority. 1t is clearly
against them.-AIbany Journal.
