murderer was instantly seized and

The st. Charles Herald gives its
readers copy of the Republican
platform, and the proceedings OF
mass meeting of that parish re-
'cognizing the lawfully elected
Nichols government. The two are
aptly set as antipodes.
The Sugar Planter is reported to

A pegre of Ouachita parish,
calling himself Taylor Walker,
BRIT tishly murdered Mr.. Frank
Long, and attempted the person
of his wife. She managed to eludc
the fend, and reached her fathers
house, a short distance away.
Friends were soon called in, the
miscreant secured, and started for
the parish Jail. He did not reach
the Jail, and the Telegraph regrets
that public example to such NAL
factors has been lost to that parish.
Sunday, Banjo, and heel and toe
performances, have got to be so

"apple of discord the public

that this journalistic quarrel sup
plies the "silver lining" to the
republican, dark cloud Of discom-
ftnre. The Advocate gives us
also the results of their municipal
election under u Nichols super
visor.
The Attakapas Register greets

situation, and concludes by say
ing that the status quo is terrible
practical joke,---a standing Joke,
and US such has been carried too
far, and asks Mr.. President to re-
move the situation, and give us
something new.
The Register also records the
brilliant adventures of a brace Of
sir shooters, otherwise, unnamed
who have twice met upon blood
less field of HONOR and twice
with intrepid daring emptied their
pistols each at the other without
injury save to the peace and dig
nifty of the State" and suggests
the propriety Of their abandoning

of healing their animosities with
powder and bullet. Hoping tl~t
they will henceforth be less con-
spicuous.

The Inventor of Billiards.

A pawnbroker named William Kew
invented the game of billiards about
the middle of the sixteenth century.
During wet weather he was in the
habit of taking down the three balls
and with the yard measure pushing
them, billiard fashion, from the coun-
ter into the stalls; in time, the idea of
board with side pockets. suggested
itself A black letter Ms says:
Master William Kew did make one
board whereby game is played with
three balls, and all the young men
were greatly recreated thereat, espe-
cially the young clergymen of ST.
Pawles, hence one of ye strokes was
named cannon, having been by one
ofye said elergymen invented. This
game is now known by We name of
Billyard, because William or Bill
Kew did first play with his yard
measure. The stick is now called a
kue.'
II is easy to comprehend how Bill
yard has been moderniZed into bill
lard, and the transformation of kew
into cue is equally apparent.
