An EIopement and a Vendetta.

About two weeksago a terrible tragedy
occurred on the Calcasien river, a
little above the southern line of this
parish. A young lady named Gunter
had eloped with a young man named
Bass Her father and brother pursued
them to the residence of a neighboring
magistrate, where few minutes before,
thev had been married. The father en-
tered the house at one door and the son
at another, and Immediately the former
discharged double-barrled gun, loaded
with bnckshot, into Bass breast. The
latter, though moTtslly wounded, re-
turned the fire by two shots from a revol-
yer. both taking effect in the elder Gun
ter's head Both parties fell TO the floor
and young Gunter plunged bowie-knife
repeatedly into Bass body killing him
instantly. Young Gunter then took up
his father-who is likely to recover from
the pistol shot in the head, as they were
glancing shots and fed. Being pursued
by the sheriff and posse, he turned on
his pursuers with a revolver, and was
shot by the posse, dying from his wounds
a day or two after. The elder Gunter is
in the custody of the sherif.-LGks

Saratoga. The talk about a political
meeting at White Sulphur Springs has
helped to fill the hotels there. The very
latest fashionable thing for young wo-
man to do on n crowded Saratoga piazza
% is to start and smble along in front,
suddenly give her head toss over her
left shoulder, as if expecting some one,
proceed a few steps further, stop, look
down in a reflective manner, then turn
and go back as fast as her pull back will
permit, looking as busy and as abstracted
as if she had two minutes to pay note
at bank" A Cape May correspondent
says: "The plank promenade lining The
sands for milo or two and leading
closely by the verandahs Of the chief ho-
tells, is rarely equalled in its delightful
facilities for starlight meditations, for
serious love-making or the coqueteries of
evanescent firtatiOns." There is more

dacks, and the Aies are more numerous

ROBINS RAIN-SONG.

o Robin, pipe no more of rainl
'Tis four days since we saw the sun,
And still the misty window pane
Is loud with drops that leap and run.
Four days ago the sky was clear,
But when my mother heard you call,
She said, "That's Robins rain-song, dear:
oh. well he knows when rain will FALL"
Fair was the morning, and / wept
Because she would not let me stray
Into the woods for flowers, but kept
NV feet from wandering away,
And was vexed to hear you cry
So sweetly of the coming storm,
And watched with brimming eyes the sky
Grow cold and dim IRON clear and warm:
It seemed TO nae you brought it al
With that incessant, plaintive note:
And still you call the drops 10 fall
Upon your brown and scarlet coat.
How nice 10 be bird like you.
And let the rain come pattering down
Nor mind bit to be wet through
Nor fear 10 spoil one's only gownI
But since I cannot be bird,
Sweet Robin, pipe no more Of rain
Your merrier music is preferred;
Forget at last that asd refrain!
And tell US Of the su,,isS'Ee, dear
I m wild to be abru'tPsain,
Seeking for blossoms fsr and near;

81. MADISON WELLS" Our fell
low Parishioner is now more than
ever sensational rarG avis, and to
keep pace with him, we give our rea-
ders the following from the Wash
ingtoh Special to the Cincinnati En-
quirer, which will keep his friends
and acquaintance on his covered
tracks:
Strangely coincident with the arr.
val of j. Madison Wells ct al. is the re.
turn, two la,s in advance Of his time,
of John Sherman. Evidently imbued
with fear of allowing Wells to roam
at large here without some one tn
watch him, Sherman appoints himself
private detective to shadow him, aud
keeps his weather eye open to see that
he makes no mistakes. To-day Wells
and Anderson called on the President,
and had "a long consultation with him.
The condition of affairs in Louisiana
was freely discussed Wells told tho
President that, with others, he was
willing to give his Southern policy u
fair trial, but admitted that it was II
great surprise to the Republicans of
the State. Subsequently Wells called
upon John Sherman; aud the thread OF
the conversation WAS resumed where
| it was broken off when they last met.
Your correspondent applied the repo.
toriai hydraulic to Wells, Anderson
and Can't to-day, seriatim' Every
conceivable ingenuity of the art of
pumping failed to produce any salts
factory explanation of their visit. OF
the three, CAN'T is the easiest victim
to the interviewer. He let one impor-
tant cat out OF the bag, aud that was
that Wells would probably remain
here three or funr days, as he had an
very important claim before the
Treasury, aud wanted it adjndicated.
| This claim, it will he borne in mind,
is for upward OF $780, 900, and is based
on property destroyed during the war
in .tRapides Parish. In view of the
tact that'W strenuously denies that
he wants Collector Kings scalp it is
just possible that Sherman may have
bought his silence with the promise Of
allowing this claim. Indeed, it is
quite probable. Anderson, too, mas a
claim of a similar nature for smaller
amount, and was at the Treasury to-
day looking after it. CAN'T says that
he thinks Jewett, who is now here, has
been sent from New Orleans to play
sdy upon their movements. He saws
he lodged their tracks in Cincinnati
and at other points. AS to the Presi-
dents policy he said tonight, 'You

CAN'T left here on the 9:225 D. m. train
for New Orleans via Cincinnati, where
they will spend q day or two. Wells
Will remain. If John Sherman initiates
greenbacks for his claim into his pock-
ct the secrets of the Returning Board
may yet be locked up with j. Madison

paid Congress will undoubtedly re-
quest Sherman to state why he paid it
after the Southern Claims Commission
had rejected it.
