Many years ago ah old darkey was
busy with her washing in little stone
wash house few rods from her masters
residence on Long island. Her great brass
wash Kettle was hung on a crane over a
brisk wood fire in huge square stone
chimney. Splash went something into the
kettle; the woman turned to see, and there
in the boiling suds, en- top of the family
linen lay fine great fish still alive, though
in its death struggles. The only explana-
ton of its strange appearance was that it
had been caught up by fsh-hawk, that
it was forced to drop his prey just ~ it

Thy were the last words penned by Mr..

eulogy closed -

EDITOR BULLETIN la your issue of
the "a inst. you published card from
j. c. Shaver, which was doubtless in
tended by that Intelligent legal lumi.
nary as an answer to some questions
asked by "many Republican voters" in
a previous issue. Now, happened TO be
a voter myself and wish to say that
am not at all satisfied with this kind OF
explanation, which does not explain. 1t
is merely an attempt at stale wit without
the appearance Of anything like busi-
ness reply. There are a great many
citizens Of this county who have not even
so much az heard Of Shaver, and who
very naturally want to know something
OF the man before casting ballot for him
tor county attorney, or any Office where
the people are so deeply interested. Mr..
Shaver says "he was brought to this
country in a steamboat. not In a box
Now is it not just possible that he was In
the hold OF that steamboat, and that 1t
was not in day light when he embarked
for ''free America" where Canadian of.
ficcrs could not lay vile hands on him
without troublesome process. But, then
he was so young. and perhaps so fair,
that the naughty police may have let
him pass unmolested. Mr.. 5. says il YOU
will call around at his Office he will show
You his license and carpet-bag. Well,
the gentleman has got an Office, has he {:
but he failed to tell us where il Is To-
Gated. Perhaps it is at Scott's saloon. But
what kind of license can he have: Pos
sibly it may be to practice law as third
rate pettiiogger in some of the back
counties of Missouri. Certainly it can
not be to practice in any of the counties
of the great and intelligent State of Hi
nois. Lastly, Mr.. Shaver says you are
aware he is a Dutchman, but denies that
1t is his fault. Now, he ought to give us
Germans a better apology than that and
then if lie will agree to spell his name
"Schaeffer" like Dutchman should, we
may think of voting for HIM. Now, If he
will, like good fellow, "rise and ex-
plain" more definitely we will ask him
few more friendly questions about
things we would like 10 know. Until
then will give him rest. TEUToS.

annual ball will be held on next Monday
night at Scheel's Washington Hall.
Every arrangement for the ball has been
completed, and that it will be
one of the greatest successes of the
kind ever given by the company
is q foregone conclusion. The Rough
and Ready fire company has done and
continues to do excellent service when
ever called upon, and every property
owner in the city Is interested in its per.
petuation and success, and should contrib
ute whatever they can toward its treas
ury. SO let every citizen who can attend
the ball on Monday night, and by their
presence there prove to the members OF
the company that their efforts and seryi-
ces are appreciated by the public. Those
who attend nay do so with the assurance
that the affair will be pleasant and en-
joyable one.

The damnable chicanery, fraud and
intimidation now being practced by the
Republican party and the government OF
Louisiana has drawn forth many letters
upon the political situation Ia that down.
trodden state. 1t matters not from
what sourse these letters come, their
truthfulness and reliability has been
put down by the Radical leaders in this
city to their followers and tools as lies
manufactured for political purposes. But
below we publish an extract from let
ter written on board the steamer Gov.
Allen, and mailed at Bayou Sara, Lou.
isiana, on the goth of October. which
will throw some light on the subject and
give our people some idea Of the villainy
and dastardly evils to which the
Louisianaians are subjected. The letter
is from the pen OF Mr.. Frank Howe, of
the commission firm of Charles NJ. Howe
i Brother, to Charles Howe. and no one
who is acquainted with the writer can for
an instant doubt its truth:
Political affairs are in terrible state
now. Deputy marshals are arresting cit
liens all over the country and taking
them to New Orleans. There are ten
such prisoners on the Allen. amongst
whom is John +. Irvine. They don't
know what is wanted with them in New
Orleans, but submit. cheerfully in order
to avoid any disturbances. as that is what
the Radicals expected when they sent the
mar shals up to arrest them. Troops are
stationed at Baton Rouge. Bayou Sara

whites. But the officers are a gentle
manly set. and express utter disgust at
the dirty work they are commissioned to
do. They eympathize heartily with the
people. and there is the best OF feeling
existing between the troops and the
whites. Mr.. Irvine says the state will 90
