An Adventurous zouave.


While cruising alsng the Barbary
coast in 1873. was fortunate in the
companicnahip of Ed. Y. McCauley,
now . captain in the United States
Navy. whnse father was. at the time,
American Consul at Tripoli.
At Algisrs AcCsuley pointed out to
me-or. We went some little distance to
see him--an old French Zouave, OF
whom he had curious story to tell.
One day. not long before the tilas Of
which I speak. woEd Was brought to the
FRENCH oommandant that some man OF
the garrison was surreptitiously selling
powder to the Arabs Il had bsen
known that the outside 6srbarians we're
destitute Of powder. and that the chief,
Abdcl Ben Hshucd. had offered 6ve
flames in silver for each and every cart
ridge that should be brought to him.
Guardes werc detailed to watch, and, at
length. the cid Zouave. Sebastiene Eos
sArd, was detected in the very act. lie
~ss seen TO pass over into the hands of
a tall. swarthy faced Arab bundle oi
cartridge, and 10 receive in return as
many silver 6vc-frsnc pieces. When
arrested. be had quite = number OF the
contraband cartridges in his pockets.
probably waiting for another customer.

Never were men more surprised than
we're those officers before whom Ssbas-
tine Fossard was brought He had been
known as one prone to forage extern
sively, but that he could do . deed oi
treason had never entered into the mind
of one who knew him. He scknowl-
edged that he had done just what bis
captors had reported that they saw him
do. He disputed nothing.
"And," he went on. 81 am willing n
save you all the trouble. and my regi.
ment all the shame of q public trial.
Give me pistol and let me load il
with one of my own reasonable cart :
ridges. and I will blow out my own
brain instanter."
Never . brsver man hal stormed q
fortress or stockade than Fossard, and
the Duke D'Aumsle resolved to grant
his request. A pistol was furnished him.
and he carefully loaded it; and then,
with smile upon bis weather beaten,
corrugated face, he put the muzzle to
his temple aud pulled the trigger.
The sparks Hew out from the flint,
but no report followed. He tried .
second time with the SAME result.
"What is the natter" demanded
D'Aumale. 'ls your powder wets'
I'm afraid there is no powder here,
General"
"Ha! No powder"
"Juste CiN! hope you did not be-
lieve that Sebastiene Fossard had sold
powder to the enemy. Mono. Ihave
their silver, true and bright, for which
gave them cartridges filled with coal
dust"
And soft proved to be. Fossard WAS
returned to duty. and within four and
twenty hours from ths. time the life of
. French colonel Of cavalry was saved
10y those very cartridges. He had been
waylaid by three Arabs. whose pistols
proved to be charged with nothing but
cosl-dust. He brought the three inside
the French lines at the muzzle of his
own pistol, and in their pockets were
found a numbCr of the old Zousve's
contraband cartridges. Fossard spent
the evening Of that day with the COL

DoNALDsONvILLE, LA, SATURDAY,

Gates of the Governors who are recog-
nized by the President; and follow
ing this lead, in a certain contingency
the Democratic majority may be re-
duced to two or three.
The administration appears to have
got its sea legs OH, nautically speak
ing. The President is still annoyed
by importunate Office seekers, but to
a much less extent than at first, as
his firmness in the matter of remoy-
ais and appointments shows no signs
of wavering. The several Secretaries
are hard at work familiarizing them
selves with the routine work of their
respective departments. There is
much satisfaction felt that Mr.. Tyner
consented to become Mr.. Keys assist
ant. He has entered opon the duties
of his office, and Mr.. Marshall, the
former assistant, has been made one
of the two Superintendents of the
Mail Service, Mr.. Vail being the other.

On Thursday, the 29th instant, the
Jewish feast of Passover begins. This
festival is celebrated in commemora-
tion of the deliverance of the people
of Israel from Egyptian bondage by
the greatest of all law givers, Moses.
Since that time the descendants of
the twelve tribes devote eight days,
beginning on the 18th Of the first
month, according to the Jewish cal
endar, forabstinence from llleavened
bread as remembrance Of the hasty
departure out of the land of Pharoa /,
and at the same time rendering thanks
to the Master of creation for this i'm
portant epoch in the history of the
Jewish people. In bygone times, when
the Jewish nation, as such, resided In
the land of Palestine, they went from
all parts of the country to Jerusalem,
where they sacrificed in honor of the
Almighty. After the destruction of
the temple and the downfall of the
nation, this custom was abolished, but
up to this day the feast of Passover is
recognized throughout the whole
world, in the large cities as well as in
the remotest corner OF the earth,
wherever members of the Semitian
race are residing. .-Attakapas Register.

The Baratari.. Canal.

Speaking of a bill before the Mich
oils General Assembly to incorporate
the Barataria Ship Canal Company,
the Louisiana State Register says:
1t will not be denied that deep
water to the sea is necessity to the
people who live in the Mississippi
Valley. Every industrial and COM
mercial interest in this city is pros
trated. Much of this may be justly
charged to the uncertain political sit
uation, but if we had, say thirty feet
of water to the Gulf, commerce and
trade would assert it's independence
and supremacy, and purely political
disturbances would not be able to
crush out every thing in the way of
business and prosperity. We submit
that the one great overwhelming ne
cessity of the South and West is the
building of this canal, which, when
completed, will furnish forty feet of
water and ample facilities for the
largest shipping of the world to enter
the river. Until this great enterprise
is completed, for it is the only one
that is capable of giving the necessary
channel, it is useless To talk of any
other Improvement intended to bene-
tit this city and State. A railroad to
the Pacific will do US no good, because
Texas cotton eau be shipped to Liver
pool cheaper by way of Memphis, or
st. Louis and New York, than by this
port. A raiiroatl to the Alabama coal
fields, that would open up the finest
timbered section of the South, would
do us no good, for no body here wants
either lumber OF coal. The country
must have as the first great requisite
to its prosperity, deep water to the
sea. Then will follow other enter
prises and improvements, which, to
inaugurate now, is like beginning to
build a house ut the top of the CHM
ney The foundation of all success
in ii commercial or industrial way Is
deep water to the ocean, for without
it nothing can be done. This enter
prise is not antagonistic to Eads' jet
jies, or the dredge boats at the South
west Pass. If he can succeed it will
do the country no harm to have two
ways to get to the sea. The Barataria
route offers some great advantages
over the mouth of the river, one of
which is, that it is sixty miles nearer
the Gulf than by the river. We are
assured that if the Barataria Company
can obtain the necessary franchises,
the work will be commenced next
September, and in one year thereafter
it will be opened to the commerce of
the world.

The Democratic General Assembly
passed a bill to annex the parishes of
Cameron, st. Martin and iberia to the
Sixteenth Judicial District, and st.
Mary to the Fifteenth, ostensibly for
the sole purpose of legislating out of
Office the Republican judge of the
Third Judicial District. Gov. Nichols
very properly vetoed the partisan
measure, giving the following expla
nation of his action:
The bill has as its result to cause
the people of the parishes of st. Mary,
ST. Martin, Iberia and Cameron to
have their causes brought before and
passed upon by judges not elected by
them, and further, to deprive of his
office the Judge of Third judicial
District Court by special Legislation.
Whilst | by no means hold that an
officer himself has vested right to
the Office which he occupies, l am of
opinion that the right granted by ar
ticle SO of the Constitution to the elec-
tors of parish to have a voice in the
selection of their judge, is trenched
upon by the provisions of this bill. |
am further of the opinion that one of
the chief bulwarks of Il State is the
independence of its Judiciary, and
that the breaking up of the judicial
districts during the term of office of
judges would have as its effect to i'm
pair that independence. am not to
be understood as expressing any opin-
ion whatever us to the legality or pro-
priety of a general redistricting of the
State, but eonfine myself strictly to
the case of the abolishing of partic-
ular court by special act before the
expiration of the term of Office of the
incumbent, and the placing of the
citizens of the various sub divisions
which compose the district under the
jurisdiction of a judge not elected By
them. Fer these reasons feel con-
strained to return this bill with these
my objections.

him as not only statesman but one
who honestly desires to do that which
will be the best for the country.
The straits that young men of for
tune are put to for amusement is
shown in an affair that happened in
one of the clubs the other day. One
young man made remark concern
ing wish bone in a turkey, and an
other said there was no such thing in
the bird. Dispute ran high on this
important point, and it was the topic
of discussion for days. Finally wa
ger was made of a supper for twenty,
and--the wish bone was found. But
it did not end here. The betters
carved each turkey, and one criti-
cised the others performance. I'm
mediately another wager was made as
to their respective skill with the carv-
ing-knife and a wager of another din
ner to decide it was made. Commit
tees were appointed, specifications
were made as to the points to be de-
cided, and so the two young gentle
men made carving match. Another
club was agitated two days as to the
size of an actress foot.
The police magistrates have been
taken in and New York is laughing at
them. One morning man was dis
covered by policeman trying to
break into a store down town. Of
course he was arrested and before the
magistrate lie made a statement. He
was Dane, named Hansen, and came
to this country twenty years ago.
Having been entieed into gambling
house and robbed, lie became the un-
willing victim of thieves and had lived
a life of crime for twelve years. He
had just been pardoned out of the
Ohio penitentiary, whittier he had
been sent five years ago for robbing
the First National Bank of Cincinnati.
He had walked all the way from
Columbus, could get nothing to do,
but determined not to go back to his
old life, had slammed robbery that he
might be sent to Sing Sing, where he
could live and be honest. Intense
sympathy was excited for this peni-
tential thief. Suits of clothes were
given him, money was sent to him,
and influential parties got him place
in a paint store. Hansen was about
to walk out in a blaze of yirtuous
glory, when unfortunately he was rec
ognized and detained. The matter
was investigated and it was found
that the Bank in Cincinnati had never
been robbed, that he had never been
in the Ohio peniteutiary, and had
never committed any particular crime.
In short he was merely very impU-
dent tramp who had calculated nicely
as how to make q raise. The moment
it was discovered that he was not
hardened villain who had got spasm
of repentance, all interest in him
and he was bundled out as
readily as he had been taken in. But
he got away with some excellent
clothes and money enough to set up a
small bar.
Business is still improving, the city
is filled with buyers, and every body
