tons of popular respect accorded
to Wade Hampton by people here,
without regard to party, have ex-
cited the fears and provoked
the angry comments OF the ultra
Radicals.
No man, not even o President
elect, was ever received with
greater evidence Of popular sdmi-
ration than Hampton has been,
and not only has he been SO re-
ceived here, but invitations have
been sent him to visit Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York,
where still more imposing demon
STATIONS would have greeted him.
These things indicate the deep
and active sympathy of the North
ern people with their struggling
brethren in South Carolina and
Louisiana, and their significance
is not lost upon the administers
ton. Hampton came here as the
representative of the South
Southern struggle for civilization
as against barbarism, has exalted
him into the proportions of pop
ular hero. Last night Chamber
lain sent Hampton q written, pro-
position, in which Chamberlain
proposed to retire, provided the
Legislature should be organized
Republican body. This, of
course meant, provided Chamber
lain should be elected Senator,
which was rejected by Hampton
peremptorily.
Hayes is still balancing between
his good intention towards the
South and his terror of Blaine,
and all his efforts at compromise
are inspired by the latter impulse.

N. D. Wetmore Failed.

The State Grange agent, N. d.
Wetmore, has failed with Liabilities
of $4,000. Many poor farmers
through the country will be the
sufferers, and we learn there are
many in our own parish. The other
day We heard one of the larges.
merchants in the parish say that
many of our people when they
were suffering for necessaries and
could not get along, came to the
merchants here for credit; but
when they had a little cash they
spent it with Wetmore. This is
one of the reasons why farmers
have to pay high for advances, be-
cause they only take the home
merchant when they cannot get
on without him. The prospect is
that this year will be good one,
and if the farmers will spend their
cash this fall where they get their
credit, then. merchandise will be
considerably cheaper.-Catahoula

LOCAL BREVITIES.'

The river Is again rising, and il
is apt to come up few feet from
the late rains.
DIR. Philip Goode has again re-
turned to Colfax. All who know
the Doctor are glad to see his jovial
countenance again. lie has been on
an extended visit to his relatives
and old home in Mobile, Ala.
We understand that the steam
saw-mill belonging to Mr.. VIM. S.
Calhoun, will again be in operation
in a short time. Mr.. Calhoun has
secured the services of a person who
will run it to its utmost capacity.
-Chas. III. Thomas, who ran on
the Republican ticket at the late
election, for Representative from
this parish, has got a seat in the
Packard House. Can that body
have the shadow of a claim to legit-
imacy or legality!
The weather for the past week
has been variable-heavy rains and
cloudy, with very little sunshine.
We were very much in need of rain,
but have had plenty now and hope
for fine weather, so that our farmers
can finish getting in their crops.
On Wednesday night last a
party broke into the store of Mr..
August Keller, about eight miles
below here, and stole about seventy
five dollars worth of merchandise.
Every month or two a burglary is
perpetrated in that neighborhood.
Mr.. Joseph Lazarus was sleeping in
room adjoining the store, but was
not disturbed by the robbers. On
entering the store in the morning.
ne perceived a hole in the roof, by
which the thieves made their en-
trance and exit.
We send bills TO our DELINQUENT
subscribers this week, and we hope
that all will settle up. There is a
great deal of expense attached to
the publication of newspaper, and
If our patrons do not pay their little
bills it makes times extremely hard
and very unpleasant for us. Our
readers must remember that our
money is scattered here and there
IN very small sums-which all are
able to pay-which in the aggregate
amounts to considerable, and we
cannot get on without it.

The Memphis Appeal relates
the following in it's account of the
burning of the steamer Governor
Garland in the Arkansas river
!" Capt. Nowland's conduct was
heroic. Finding it impossible to
rescue his wife and two children,
he was compelled to forsake the
former or the latter. He had no
time to hesitate, for the flames
were already scorching the pas
sengers. Capt. Nowlapd kissed
the little children farewell. and
selzing his wife plunged into the
water. He looked back, but the
little children he could not see.
Tor has eyes filled with tears, such
as only a father or mother can
know the meaning of. A deck
hand, named Billy Simples, whose
home is in Memphis, witnessing
the sad farewell, seized both of the
children in his strong arms, the
brave man leaped into the water
ana carried them safely to the
Shore"

The Line.

A correspondent in one of our West.
ern exchanges refers to the Eureka
Elko boundary line as follows:
Mr.. Cassidy also gave notice OF a
bill defining the boundaries Of Eureka
county. This is a repetition of what
is known as the Mineral Hill BILL"
which cedes the strip OF territory
through which runs the Eureka and
Palisade Narrow gauge railroad to
Eureka county, it now being in Elko
county. The same measure was twice
vetoed by the Governor, and passed
over the veto at the last session, but
afterwards declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court on account of
an error in the enrolment of the bill.
Unless compromised it will be the hot
fight OF the session, being about all Eu-
reka county has to fight for. except a
slight interest in the White Pine war
claims. / incline 10 the belief, how
ever, that the ElkO people are willing
to make terms for an atnicaLle settle
ment Of the dispute, and that if Eu-
reka meets them half way there will
be no contest on this unfinished bus
mess Of previous sessions"

That is what they call the process at

A Escape.

Miss Mary Alderson, a sister Of j.
Anderson of this place, and a young
lady we'll known here, had a very mar
row escape of adding to the list of un.
fortunates that met a frightful death at
the late railroad horror occurring at
Ashtabula, Ohio. She was On OUT to
Sacramento, but at Chicago missed the
train and unconsciously thereby saved
her life. Great uneasiness was felt by
her brother here and her friends in
| Sacramento, Yesterday, as she was to
| have arrived at that place on Thursday,
and not doing so, serious a%pprehen-
sion was felt that she was aboard the
| -fated train. Last evening Mr.. Alder
son received a telegram announcing
the safety OF his sister and her escape
by one train, and the terrible suspense
| was removed. The many friends Of
the estimiable Young lady will rejoice
at her fortunate escape.

a letter from his wife in San Fran

gence that their little daughter Mable
had become hopelessly blind in one
eye. 1t will be remembered that the
little child was very i'll here tor some
time from an attack of scarlet fever,
and when recovering from the effects
of the fever the vision of the right eye
became %obscured, and, steadily grow
ing worse, they resolved to take her to
San Francisco and seek the services of
an eminent oculist at that place, who
examined the eye and p%ronOunces it a
hopeless case. The friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Payne will be grieved to learn
OF the af1iiction falling on their only
child.

Mrs. Anderson, residing IN Edwards
street, who had been out calling, was
surprised on her return to find her
house IN possession of an old woman
who, during her absence had spread
her wardrobe on the floor and was ev-
identity selecting the articles that met
her approval to replenish her dilap
idated habiliments. Mrs. H. a nat
urally alarmed and had to call for as
sisiance before the woman could be
induced to leave the premises. The
woman is known as Madame Caduc, a
half. demented, drunken wretch, who,
becoming a burden to the town OF
Phoebe, vas shipped on a freight team
to Eureka by the charitable citizens OF
the former place. We would suggest
that Eureka is not an alms-house, and
although we have no paupers of our
own we do not stand in any immedi.
ate need of the article.

The Atlas Mine.

The new shaft is almost completed
and will be $50 feet in depth. There
was an error in the survey Of about
ten feet which has delayed its compile

has nearly reached the new shaft and
is so close that the workmen can hear
each other. Everything about the
mine Is i'm complete order and the new
machinery will start upon the com
pletion of the shaft. The blacksmith
has finished a safety cage which will
be substituted for the bucket now in
use. There is plenty of ore in the mine,
which will he hoisted to the dump by
the time the furnaces are ready to start.
