Crazy or Not

Last Wednesday morning a me-
gro who had slept the previous
night in the water tank building
at Tcrrebonnc Station, came to
the house of Granville Smith, a
coloIed man who lives near the
track. and asked him if "any
white man lived near there Z" Not
suspecting any sinister motive,
Granville pointed out the resi-
dence of Mr.. +. Beauvais the
agent of the railroad, and the
negro who was a stranger to HIM,
proceeded thither; Mr.. Evans,
the fatlier-in-law Of Mr.. Beanvals,
WAS standing i'll the kitchen door
and Mrs. Beanvais was within
preparing breakfast; as the ne
gro walked towards Mr. Evans
who supposed him to be one OF
the begging tramps no common
about the road, he picked up a
spade lying in the yard, and with
out a word, struck Mr.. Evans on
the head, telling him to the floor,
and then aimed another blow at
him, which, striking his arm
which he had raised to parry it,
glanced off cutting a deep cash
in his neck he then struck Mrs.
Beauvais Oh the head, injuring
her seriously, and Mr.. BeauvaiS,
being ronsed by her screams, ran
in and was himself attacked, but

For tie NEW ORLEANS PRICE CURRENT
To Sugar Planters.

From all reports from all over
the Sta1e, the crops have more
than usual a good appearance.
While the corn crop promises to
alleviate our dependence on the
West, rice, cotton and cane seem
as if they would fill up the gaps
when a series of unfortunate coin
cidcrces and combination have
made III Der fortunes.
But a crop grown is not a crop
saved, and TO no country that we
know is this truth more applica
bic than to Louisiana. Indeed,
the corn crop is most easily Sc
cured. RiceIand cotton, though
with greater trouble, are still well
secured, but cane, a sort of exot.
ic plant among us, grown as it is,
with only the utmost care and
skilled labor, is exposed, toward
the period of grinding. to count
less vissitndes. familiar to every
planter. True, the labor of
growing the crop is only IL tr1fle,
compared to that of saving it.
Growing the crop is costly; under
9nfavolable circumstances that
of saving it may prove ruinous.
What about protracted droughts
protracted rains, early frOsts. bad
fuel, machinery out of order. and
lastly, bad sugar, low prices etc.
1t is a we'll known fact, that
scores of planters apparently sue
cesstul in growing good crops,
have still, year after year lost
money while saving them. The
high rates we pay for labor, and
the low rates to which our sugars
have fallen, and from which, like
ly they will not rise soon, make
it Certainly a rather difficult task
to make money at sugar growing;
and Fianters tiat fail TO keep up
with the times in using improved
machinery ana improved system,
seldom fail to work their ruin.
We have it generally conceded
that, unless our sugars bring
iron 6G7 or Sc per lb in the aver
age, no profit is to be made at
sugar growing. 1t must then be

From Centralia to Mattoon on

last year, but still it does not

wheat here had all been gathered

Chicago, the people along the

quantities have been cut did not

when suffering from exhaustion may
possibly aggrlvate the disease, but the
general idea OF water-foundered horses
is absurd. 2 3. Have the shoes care
fully removed, and use cold or warm
applications to the feet for this purpose;
the horse may be put standing in a cold
or hot water bath. AS regards medicine,
stimulants or sedatives will have to be
administered, depending on the condi>
ton of the patient. As a general rule
the local application ofthe hot water
bath to the feet for one or two hours
three times day. and administering
ten drops of Jennings tincture OF aeon
tie, with two ounces of whisky every
two hours, has an excellent effect. After
the animal has SO far recovered as to
bear exercise, run on pasture will be
desirable. 4. The great secret IN pre-
venting horses from having gals or con-
tusions on their shoulders is: l. To have
the collars perfectly fitted. 2. TO see
that they are kept clean-By the free use
of soap and water. There is no objec-
ton in sponging the shoulders with cold
water, to which little salt may be added.

Hindman's death at last was solved.
Haywood Grant. colored. convicted OF
arson and sentenced to be hanged, and
with the moose about to be placed around
his neck. called the sheriff to him and
confessed to the murder of two steam>
boat hands on Mississippi river steam
boat, ten years ago; then to the murder
of an Irishman in Memphis during the
same year; and still again to the murder
of a policeman near to the spot where
the third of his murders had been COM
mitted, and closed the dismal catalogue
by detailing the manner in which he had
shot to death the ex-Confederate general
in mis- Arkansas home No cause was
given tor the crime, and moment later
the wretch was swung off into eternity.
Not so soon, however, but that 40 inno-
cent man was relieved Of a suspicion
which was no: SO strongly supported by
facts as to bring him to the telon's dock,
but which. except that the law had
dragged the real criminal to his tate,
would have followed him to his grave
and have been left as an evil heritage to
his children. Justice, though tardy, had
asserted itself, and the crime of the muir
derer mad found voice.
The names OF the murdered Hindman
may now rest in peace, for the law OF
retribution has been fulfilled on the scat
fold OF that Georgia town.-New YORK
