and Forty Thousand Logs Seized as
Government Property by the
United States Marshal.

tho Arbitrary Proceedings,
LAKE CHARLES, La., May 2l.-The
following statement Of the Calcasleu
lumber question is believed to be i'm.
partial and reliable;
The district attorney filed In the
United States court In New Orleans q
suit against about n dozen citizens Of
Caloasieu parish, alleging that they,
and other persons unknown, had cut a
large quantity Of pine logs In Calca-
sleu on public land, and praying for
the sequestration and sale OF the logs
for the benefit Of the government. The
writ was Issued and deputy marshals
seized some forty thousand logs In the
creeks flowing into the west fork OF
the Calcasleu river, and stretched a
chain boom across the mouth OF the
west fork, thereby blockading 1t. Log
men say over nine-tenths of the logs
we're cut on private landi government
officers say they were mostly cut on
public lands. Unusual delay in the
rise of the creeks had caused great
restitution and suffering to logmen
and their families, by the failure to
get logs to market. The seizure inten-
sites the suffering, because enough
logs have reached west fork to give
present relief were it not for the seiz-
ure and blockade. The fact Is that
thousands of these logs were noto-
riously cut on private land, causes
great indignation ut the arbitrary ac-
ton OF the authorities, but no violence
has been attempted or threatened, ex-
cept two or three persons, who pro-
tested against the unjust seizure of
their private property. No one here
dreams of any except legal resistance.
Several conferences have occurred be-
tween the logmen and the government
agents, and 1t is now confidentally ex.
pected the matter will be amicably ad-
justed, and the blockade raised In o
few days.

the family to escape with their lives,
the doctor being very badly burned In

the worst is yet to come. He seems to
be rational, though suffering the agony
OF ten thousand deaths every minute,
and exclaiming to his friends: "Had

GLOVE ME! LOVE MY DOG"

ADog Fight and what Came Of IL.
The following was given us by an
eye witness; Near the foot Of Lamar
street lives man who owns big dog,
who is "turra-bred," and never
misses an opportunity to mix in
whenever he gets chance. He is
also remarkable, 1.-THE dog for never
letting go his hold, but would stick
like grim death to niger. Last even
ing about six o'clock, small dog came
within the scope of the visual organs Of
our "turra.bred,n and the usual matt.
nee began. Mr.. Casey, who owned the
big dog, came out and endeavored to
stop the fight. He grabbed his dog by
the hind legs and kicked him, but
still he chung to his prey, and shook
him like a rat. After long time, he
finally succeeded In getting his dog
loose, and then started to go where
his boys were at work on
the hill, near by. Our informant
had been watching the whole
transaction, and saw man approach
Ing who owned the under dog In the
fight. Casey was walking of, and did
not observe him. When near Casey's
dog, he put a pistol to his head and
fired, and over went the "turra-bred."
Hardly had the smoke of the pistol
cleared away, when our informant
was startled by another report close
to him, and looking around, saw q
woman, pistol In hand. She had fired
AT the man who had shot the big dog,
aud Immediately gave chase to him
and ran him to his house which was
across the little branch, and on the
road that leads TO the cemetery. Mr..
Casey Immediately took the woman
back 70 the house. The big dog was
not quite dead at last accounts, but
bis chances are said 10 be quite small
for chewing any more CANNES. How
the interested parties fixed matters up,
we did not learn, but II Is rather Sc

The IDEAL B0ARDER.-The ideal boarder
is never woman, simply because most
boarding houses are kept by landladies,
and no landlady is capable of assuming
that female boarder knows how to behave
herself. The ideal, therefore, in this case,
is masculine. 1t is easy to make the
sketch, for the outlines are found in the
heart of every woman who lets lodgings or
takes boarders. This imaginary being is
quiet and softspoken. He never CON-
plains.
No murmer escapes his lips if his bed be
unmade at five o'clock in the afternoon,
and, should his beefsteak be tough, or the
bread sour or the butter strong or the
coffee weak, he sends up smile above his
impaired digestion, and looks amiable,
despite his ruined stomach. He never
looses his temper, he always pays his board.
He is a nice, quiet animal, pleasant to have
about, but doubly pleasant because he is
generally out of the way. He adores
children and "tumbles" to pets.
He knows how to disguise opinions that
from the mouths of most men would be
singularly disagreeable, under the softest oi
phrases and the smoothest of periods
Does this ideal creature anywhere exist
Nowhere, excepting in the dreams of the
landlady. The very term "ideal" implies
that the enhancing myth never can bc
actualized. Sometimes an approximation
is made to him, but the embodiment itsel
is never reached.
Smyrna times., 1877-05-16

H. V. Redfeld, the brilliant cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, is a
teetotaler. He says that during his travels
in the South he is invited at least l5O times
a year to "take drink" He always firmly,
but politely, begs to be excused, giving as
his reason that he never indulges in
spirituous or malt liquors, and he describes
in a very amusing manner the effect of this
announcement upon the average Southern
gentleman. First, he looks at the cores
pondent's feet, then slowly raises his eyes,
taking in by degrees his whole person until
he reaches the top of his head. Then his
eyes are slowly depressed until they again
rest upon the ground, when he steps back
one or two PAGES, puts his hands on hii
hips, and, after moments pause, says
with tone of great astonishment, "Well
| I'll be damnedr'
