Whereas, | have been officially informed that

was willfully and feloniously murdered in the
parish of West Feliciana, and that J. w. DIXON,
ate of said parish. is accused of having COM
mitted said crime; and whereas said J. w.
Dixon has fed from the justice Of this State,
and it being important and highly necessary
that the perpetrator of such crime be brought
to Justice and dealt with as the law directs,
Now. therefore. I. FRANCIS 7, NICHOLAS

stands charged. And by virtue of the powers
vested in me by law do hereby offer a reward
of FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for the arrest
and safe delivery of said J. W. Dixon in any
Jail or prison of this State, and upon his con-
viction Of the crime of which he is accused.
In testimony whereof have hereunto signed
tn, Sc presents and caused the seal of The State

Among the cars which were destroyed
by the fire OF Saturday night and Sunday,
during the prevalence OF the riot, were
ten or twelve which contained freight

supposed that all of these cars contained
pigs of lead, and amid the surfeit Of

transported goods, no one thought OF
Dading himself with this heavy metal. On
tuesday,, after the fire,it was discovered

The following table contains the
number Of pounds in bushel of the
different articles named:
NORWAY Women and Weddings.

The women ON holidays turn out in
the old Morse costume. the chief feature
of which is the bodice, which is often
made of some bright-colored velvet,
turned down in front with white silk, and
laced before and behind, according to
our author, "with several yards of fine
silver chain, each chain ending in a silver
bodkin, in order that they may be the
better threaded through double rows of
eyes lin themselves strikingly pretty
articles of silver), that run in four lines
up the back and front of this snowy
piece of Scandinavian haberdashery. :"
Both men and women are very fond of
large bright buttons and of silver or
plated ornaments. A Morse wedding is
always preceded by series of presents
from the bridegroom to the bride.
First, there are about two dozen meal
tubs of various sizes, elaborately painted !;
and last and crowning glory of the trous-
seau, there is q wonderful clothes-press.
Inside, az far as regards drawers large
and small, and brass pegs and racks for
crockery, it is a marvel of ingenuity !;
while outside it is perfect triumph of
art. The ground tint is a warm bright
vermilion, painted all over with green
and yellow scrolls, enlivened wreaths
of gorgeous flowers, and piles of bril-
liantly hued fruit, pleasingly interspersed
with quaint lovers knots and bleeding
hearts transfixed upon Cupid's darts, in
the midst of which are the names and
birth-dates of the liberal donor and
blissful recipient of this magnificent
wedding-gift. A Norwegian maiden,
who is generally as sober as linnet in
her ordinary attire, appears on her bridal
day glittering in all the colors of the
rainbow. On her long fair hair is set an
antique crown of silver gilt and her
bodice, stiff as a cuirass, is thickly
studded with beads, silver-gilt brooches,
and small mirrors. This bridal adorn-
ment is too valuable to be the individual
property of any Morse belle, but belongs
to the district, and is hired out for the
day.

The Diamonds of Burmah.

The Indian princes and mobiles are
greedy of diamonds beyond all people,
and there is but one country in the
world in which any product of nature is
held more precious than this wonderful
combustible gem, whose nature, indeed,
we know, but whose genesis is still q
mooted question for science. That couu-
try is Burmah, the land of the white
elephant, where the finest rubies shell
tered in the earths breast are found,
and are rated far above diamonds.
AS the King of Siam prizes his cats,
So the King of Burmah prizes the rubies
of his country, jealously prohibiting the
export of them, 80 that the beautiful
aluminous stones-which do but glow
with clearer and richer color when ex-
posed to fire in which the diamond
would be consumed and disappear-can
only be procured by stealth or favor of
private individuals.
No European has ever been permitted
to see the kings wonderful ruby" the
size of pigeons egg, and of extraor-
binary quality" and the sale of the two
magnificent rubies which were brought
to England in 1875-the finest ever
known in Europe-caused such excite
ment that military guard had to escort
the persons conveying the package to the
ship.
Five days journey southeast of Ava
lies the home of the blood-red gems, the
jealous earth in which the people believe
that they ripen, becoming from theil
original colorlessness yellow, green, blue
and last of all, the matchless ruby-red
Next to these rank the rubies which are
found in the Tartar wilds of Badakshan
and which the people there believe arr
always found in pairs. When one O
the seekers has discovered one he viii
frequently hide it until It's mate bt

An Editors Sanctum

A few mornings ago, just after We had
swept up and made our bed look as
plump as n soda biscuit, we were sur
prised at hearing modest rap at the
door. Callers seldom rap-they usually
kick. When we answered the summons
we found two ladies awaiting entrance.
They told lis they'd always had curios-
ity to see how an editors sanctum looked
and begged the privilege of entering and
looking round. They spent the next
half hour in extravagant praise of our
furniture, etc. "How spotlessly clean
he keeps his Brussels carpet-it looks as
fresh and bright as ii it had Just come
from the loom," said one and the other
chimed in with 60 Yes, and do look how
sweetly that bed is made up. Those
pillows look like snow heaps and the
something wonderful" And thus they
went on, now bestowing the most extrav-
agant laudations upon our statuary and
oil paintings, and then going into ecsta-
cies over the diamond studded chandelier.
They looked with admiration upon our
gold-mounted spittons and wondered
were we got the enchanted soap with
which our towel had been washed. They
fairly shrieked their appreciation of our
beautiful lace curtains and stared-in mute
admiration before our golden-iramed
full-length mirror. els this indeed an
EDITORS quarters, or are we in fairy
landl" one of them gasped, and the
other, sinking on the luxurious sofa,
sobbed, 81 do not know-I am be-
wildered by the magnifcence around me.
Heigho The above, alas, is merely a
fable. 1t is true that we were called
upon by two ladies, but ye gods what a
spectacle met their gaze. When they
entered we crawled under the bed among
the old boots and sardine cans and re-
mained there till they left. Their de-
risive laughter still rings in our ears.
Their sarcastic remarks still lacerate our
bosom, Franklin (KU.) Pdtri0t.

AhOut Theirs.

The prints abound now with pen
sketches of Theirs. A writer in Apple
toms Journal says of him To us he
appeared a short, thick-set, square,
headed, bristling-h haired, pugnacious lit
tie man, with good deal of sparkle and
good deal of obstinacy, brimming with
irony and eight )" nervous, petulent,
uneasy, and charged throughout his
diminutive body with a seemingly mex
haustible vitality and force-a physical
trait we'll fitted to his strong, determined,
and bellicose character. Rather German
than French in physiognomy, he was all
Gallo and Marseillaise in his impetuous
vivacity and demonstrative manner.
Most engaging, no doubt, in converse
ton, and when talking in the social cir
Gle showing at once his brightest and his
most amiable side, it was evident that he
best enjoyed political life, especially
when that life was freely checkered by a
pandemonium of strifes of the forum.
To see him in the tribune, with his cup
of coffee or his glass of claret by his side,
his handkerchief in his hand, and his
coal-black eyes glaring out from beneath
the big, square spoctacles which he al.
ways affected, was to see him when his
fullest force and genius were in play.
He was a good hater, and probably never
an orator lived who felt more keenly ths
luxury of forensic combat than Theirs
did in his old-time contests with the prim
and austere Guizot.
