pears OH the surface, and some of the cir
| cumstances at least are known to sever
nj persons. After the election the super-
visors of East and West Feliciana sent
in their returns without protest, each
ridicuiing the idea of protesting on ac-
count of intimidation. The Democratic
majority in East Feliciana was 1743
votes, as cast in tho regular boxes, and
over 400 cast in other boxes by uen de-
prived OF registration owing to the ab-
sence of the supervisor. This brought
the Democratic majority up to some
2aOO. In West Feliciana it was about
GOO. When it was found that
Hayes election depended on the State all
the power Of the Republican chiefs was
brought to bear on these two supervisors,
rs the State could rot by any means have
been carried for Hayes unless their par
fshes were thrown out. The fact that
there were no Republican votes cast in
East Feliciana made good case on its
face for the Republicans. The supervi-
sor of West Feliciana made protest af-
ter the time required by law. The su-
pervisor of East Feliciana made gener-
al statement Of affairs as they had been
reported. He refused to swear to this
report because it was mere hearsay, and
he did not know that it was true. This
was afterward changed to a regular in
timidation protest, q jurat attached and
the parish thrown out. Threats were
made that fhe exposed the cheat lie
would be imprisoned on trumped-up
charges, and both of them were assured
by a member of the Republican visiting
committee that they wou}d be provided
for, and a letter guaranteeing this given
them. The closing chapter of this trans
action is curious one. The supervisor
of JTest Feliciana had possession of this
letter. He was shot down in cold blood
after the Inauguration and the letter
nIysteriously disappeared. The supervi
sor of East Feliciana left the State. Let
Jcwctt speak, by all means.

THE NEW INDIAN POLICY.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Times
Washington special says: In relation
to the Presidents alleged intention of
changing our Indian policy to conform
to that of Canada, some features may
be borrowed from the Canada plan.
Canadian Indians are not confined to
reservations, but allowed to roam about
at will They are not fed by the gov
ernment, but support themselves princi
palIy by hunting an annual stipend aud
some supplies being, however, dis,ribu-
ted to them by Indian agents, of which
there are thirty. They are brought to
trial for offenses committed upon each
other or upon white men, and white
men are liable to punishment for often
ses committed upon Indians. To car
ry out these rules there is system Of
magistracy among the Indians, the
magistrates trying all offenders brough.
before them by the mounted police
body of 500, who ride through the coun-
try, preserving law and order and max
ing arrests. Ammunition and arms are
distributed and sold to the Indians by
agents. 1t is probable the President
will hereafter have army officers detail
ed to take charge of the extreme out
posts and retire the agents. 1t is be.
lieved he will also recommend, in his
annual message, the establishment of
code of laws for the punishment Of In.
dians guilty of crime.

Iaundress' Mistake Wrecked His

From the 81. Joseph Chronicle.
Another witness to hat faithful say
ing. "The course of true love never did
run smooth" On q pleasant street in
South st. Joseph is a private boarding
house, fashionable but not fashy; n of
those quiet places in which a sympathetic
a can hear a passionate heart beat.
Among the boarders is a widower of
ample means. of a bald head and an
excitable nature, in spite of the fifty-odd
wears which ought to have Gained him.
Among them also is q lady, whose serene
single life has not prevented a willing
ness to he wooed if it could be done in the
penteel way of the old school. The
ccourtship went on in the most Chester
feldian manner, and though the other
boarders knew it, and cast to each other
significant glances, it was still one Of
their business. All went well until the
other evening, when the laundress, hay
ing returned to him by mistake the
shirts of a thinner man, he went
into his room in the solemn dusk
to make his toilet. All went
we'll, then, too, until his linen was half
on, when he stuck fast in it. With his
arm pinioned straight above his head and
the thick seam of the lining caught un-
der his shoulder blades, he could ge
neither in or out. He was in supreme
misery; not able to help himself, and
not daring to call for assistance. Bent
into an obtuse angle, his arms sticking
out, he went struggling around the
room, his bald head shining through the
split in the back of his shirt, and his
mouth sending maledictions down to his
waistband. As he coursed around the
room, foaming, swearing and struggling,
knowing that tea was ready and he
wasn't, the servant girl thinking little of
him or his trouble, stepped into the
door, and in its solemn dusk seeing that
unearthly figure in white moving
around, with its arms out like an expect
ant craw fish, she uttered a whoop that
made the house ring. The house flew to
the source of alarm, and with it the gen.
teel lady, always g%enteel. Imagine that
struggling mortal, still in the shape of

their necks as a sort Of talisman to ward
off the approach of the dreaded disease
that was then supposed to infest the
whole community. Some of these bags
contained gum camphor, others were
packed with the mustard, and one little
fellow wore a tiny bag filled with dirt.

Senator Edmunds.

The personal appearance of Senator
George F. Edmunds, is rather striking.
Not very tall when on his legs, he has
that great length of spine which is re-
garded in insurance Offices as a promise,
if not Il guarantee, of longevity. For all
! know to the contrary, Edmunds may
be n hundred years old already. The
tough ruddiness of his skin and the un-
certain grayness of his hair and beard
are of the kind that defy conjecture as
to age. With his long, furrowed fore
head running up to a point above, his
long gray beard running down to a point
below, his ghostly attitudes and gestures,
and his archiepiscopal habits Of attire,
Edmunds looks like a well-preserved
specimen of the ancient Christian Faith
