THE NATCHaT0CMEs AFFAIR.

A few days ago the DEMOCRAT pub
lished a telegram from Natchitoches, In
which the fact Of the killing Of negro
man was chronicled. No notice Of this
affair has since that time been publish
ed here, and in order to make the mat
ter plain, and to show that the killing
was perfectly justifiable, the following
statement of an eye witness Is given
He says: I went through the most ex-
citable night I have ever passed when
this ARRAY occurred. Mr.. L. 9. Dono-
van, who has charge OF a store here,
had bitter quarrel with negro named
Henry Williams. which was brought on
by the grossly and highly insulting lam
guage Of the negro, and in the combat
which followed Williams was killed. It
appears that after the affair about 200
negroes congregated about the store OF
Donovan and threatened to lynch him,
and 1t was only after the most earnest
persuasion that they were prevented
from doing so. It was q late hour that
night before the negroes left and there
was quiet. Mr.. Donovan, who killed
the man., will be brought before the
court for trial."
From all accounts 1t appears that the
excitement in the parish was intense
after this affair, and that serious riot
was threatened, which was only quelled
by the. cool and positive behavior Of
the whites.

VARIETIES THEATRE. We we're very
much surprised last night on being In
formed that Louise potusroy, now play
ing at the Varieties, has been on tho
stage for q very short period, This We
would be disposed TO disbeiisys II our
authority TO soy 80 MAS hot OF the BEST.
Certainly her performance Of juliet
last night was not that OF n tigviss, but
was marked, In some OF the sdsnss. by
splendid acting, whilst her ,sloeuti6t,
throughout was exquisite. BlHos. her
first appearance In this city 10 had bssti
noted by old stagers that thsrs was
just lack OF finish In her tnethsd, and
now that the truth has bssn revealed
that she IL so new TO the boards. this
slight defect may be used ~ an apology
for Miss Pomeroy rather than for ofiti.
eism. When this talented actress shall
have, by careful study, mastered the
difficult parts which she has under
taken to personify, 1t will be an easy
task to record her successes.
Romeo and Juliet" was not. how
ever. very smoothly played by the other
actors in the cast last night.

AFTER THAT REWARD,

Doubtless most everybody remembers
the large placard SO conspicuously ex-
posed In the street cars, offering to the
persevering individual who, either
through sagacity or chance, might dis
cover, arrest and convict those parties
who were manufacturing counterfeit
nickles hereabouts, the munificent sum
OF one thousand dollars. Thousands
read the card, but the first one, 1t seems,
