The Louisiana Lottery Company
is having fierce fight with our leg
islature. The company is i'll favor
of submitting to the people certain
constitutional amendments recently
recommended by legislative com
mittee, none of which affect the
company, and is bitterly opposed to
the people making a constitution
for themselves, in a convention, for
fear a new constitution will wipe
out monopOlies. On a test vote, on
a proposed constitutional amend
ment abolishing monopolies, we are
glad to see that our representative,
(Hon. CIV. RichardsonD and every
democratic member Of the house
but one, voted for the amendment.
1t received a little more than the
necessary twO-thirds vote, but be
fore it could be announced, repre-
sentative Wilde, Of New Orleans,
who acknowledged himself an en-
ployee Of the lottery company,
rushed around among the repub-
lican members, and got six of them
to change their votes to the mega
tive, thereby defeating the amend
ment. Thereupon an amendment
was proposed abolishing the lottery
company specially, and when this
comes to a vote it will be seen
whether the company can prevent
a twO-thirds vote in favor of the
amendment.

A Wonderful Walk.

Dear EGHo.-A feat has been &C
complished i'll New Orleans, the most
wonderful in the walking history of
this country. Henry Schmehl, the
pedestrian, completed his walk of
800 miles, in st. Patrick's Hall, in
142 hours, II minutes, and So sec
onds. He commenced Monday
morning, and finished Sunday night.
The first mile, and fastest, was
made in 8 minutes, the slowest was
about l65 minutes.
He has broad shoulders, and a
full chest, indicating a fine pair of
lungs, which, no doubt, is mdispen-
sable i'll his line. / should Judge
him to be about 5 feet, III inches in
height, and 160 pounds in weight.
His form is very irregular, remind
ing me Of a raw-boned horse; new
ertheiess, his muscles are well de-
veloped, and he moved along on
the saw-dust track with astonishing
grace, ease and rapidity, moving
his arms constantly up and down,
like the piston,rod of a steam en-
CINE. There was something really
peculiar in the manner he glided
along, appearing to move every
muscle i'll his body. He wore tights,
and shoes with broad soles and
heels, with a wide belt about his
waist.
A citizen, ] am told, bet $3.50
with him, that he could make the
last rs miles in the same time. This
created quite an exeitement-the
spectators continually cheered az
the great walker, with pleasant
smile, moved around with ease and
rapidity, while his competitor
strained every nerve, and putfed
and blowed to keep up. The citi
zen lost the race, retiring from the
track with blisters on his feet.
The last day, Schmelll limped q
little, and complained OF soreness

about the lower limbs; but when
the brass band struck up a soul
stirring piece of music, he would
revive as though just commencing
his task.
There was a crowd of spectators
at the close, and be was cheered
Observation-Disclosures with
bouquets by the ladies, and with a
medal by his physician.
There is some talk OF his walking
with O'Leary in this city, the latter
having made 500 miles in 134 hours,
43 minutes and 30 seconds, i'll Lon
don.
1t is leaving my subject, but /
suppose you have noticed that there
will be a baby show, in this city, on
the 18th of March. i imagine this
will be an interesting sight; OF
course, the happy father and mother
must go. with faces wreathed in
pleasantness, to witness the Won
derful effect produced by the EN-
trancing beauty Of their baby. A
profitable hour might be spent, OBJ
serving the expectant looks of fond
parents, eagerly watching for the
admiration which they are sure will
be heaped upon their babies. Can't
Lake Charles furnish some babies
that will outstrip these city born
babies? What variety of babies
What a conglomeration Of babies! (!
And suppose they all should begin
to cry!!! Yours truly,
DIME.

What the Papers Say.

The MarkSy1lle Bulletln, Ill d
leading editorial, entitled "Plaln
Tallz,n-copied in this number OF
the ECHO, complains bitterly OF the
failure of our present Legislature to
accomplish any of the reforms so
sorely needed in our State and pa
rochial government, and winch
were once SO freely promised in case
of restoration Of Louisiana to de
mocratic control. We regret to ac-
knowledge that similar complaints
are coming from many other OF our
democratic exchanges all over the
State.
The n. O. Democrat publishes a
long communication from a cores
nondent, in which the latter says
that "to say the people are dlsap-
pointed in our present legislature
is to tell only part of the truth -
they are Disguised with it, We
wonder if we will ever have legis
lature, which will work solely and
honestly for the real and permanent
good of the State. Never, while
the people are lead by professional
Office seekers, and wire-pulling pol
iticians.
LIE Louisianais, (St. James par
ish), speaks of the ''impunctllality"
of the members of its Parish School
Board. Which is a good word, if
LIE Louisianais did coin it.
The Pioneer Of Assumption (Na-
poleonville) is i'll favor of reducing
the number of our State senators
and representatives, and having
regular sessions of the legislature
every two years. A good idea.
The Orange tTeNas) Tribune, a
live paper, like the town it comes
from, says the average daily pro
duction of the steam saw mills of
Orange, is fifty car loads Of lumber,
and over six car loads Of shingles,
with new mills being erected every
few weeks. One mill alone saws
from sixty to one hundred Thousand
feet per day. This mill saws tim
Der, shingles, and pichets for fenc-
ing. The market is supplied by the
railroad and by schooners.
The Meridional (Abbeville) is OPP
posed to the passage Of fence law
by the Legislature, and i'll favor OF
cattle being allowed to roam at
large.
The Marksville Tillager says the
School Board of Avoyelles parish
has practically deprived the girls
of the MarksvilIe district of the
benefit of a public school education.
Give the girls a chance.

The Case of Mad. Wells.
HAYES DAREs NOT INTERFERE, AND THE
FEDERAL COURTS ARE NEUTRAL.
Special to the n. 0. Democrat.

Special to the n. 0. Democrat.
Washington, Feb. 9.-Notbing
has yet been heard here of Wells
intention to try to bring bis case
into the Federal States courts, ex-
cept what appears in the press dis
patches. But the belief amcng
Louisiana Republicans hereis very
general that he will make such an
attempt. Ii he does, and if the
United States Court should grant
him writ, there will be no need
of delay in prosecution, for I am
confident that the Administration
will not undertake to execute any
such writ, even pending an appeal
to the Supreme Court, because all
possible phases under which Wells
can present his case have been ex-
amined by the legal advisers of
Mr.. Hayes, and the unanimous
opinion is that he cannot possibly
make out case that will hold.
The Attorney General says that
the law is clear that the United
States courts cannot supersede the
practice of the State courts in any
form, except in cases where there
is concurrent jurisdiction, and
Wells case does not come under
this head Thus, if the United
States courts should grant Wells
writ of habeas corpus, eertiorari,
or supersedeas, it will be instantly
overruled here. In order to be
clearly understood, I should say
that Hayes would undoubtedly be
glad 10 stop the prosecutions, and
would interfere in some form if he
dared to. But the attitude of Con
gress toward him is SO hostile, and
this hostility is growing with such
rapidity, that he does not take any
responsibility. His Southern De-
mocratic support is nearly all gone
from him, and very slight misstep
on his part, either in the shape Of
interference with your local affairs
or in that of a veto of the silver
bill, would let loose tornado
about his head.
Much depends on your straight
forwardness. Ii you 60 right
ahead, there May be a radical
change in the personnel Of the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION within thirty days.
But if, for any reason, you halt,
waver, or leave your work half
done, the present Cabinet may pull
through, and the opportunity sa-
crifced. BUELL..

BURIED ALIVE
Under an EmbankmeMt. n

About o'clock last evening, while q
party of laborers were engaged for con-
tractors Conners and Dugan in digging
earth from a high bank on the Langdon
estate, on Hopple street, between Spring
Grove avenue and Colerain Pike, about one
hundred tons of earth and gravel suddenly
loosened and with loud thud fell upon @
man named Thomas Mulvihill, killing him
instantly.
The contractors had repeatedly warned
their employees against careless under
mining. 1t seemed that the men dug un-
der too far, and the weight of the earth
above had to give way. When the EN-
bankment fell Mulvihill was immediately
under it, as also horse and cart. Another
laborer named John Murphy a driver, was
also caught by the falling mass and sus-
tanned severe bruises.
Mulvihill and his horse were killed al
most instantly The relatives of Mulvhill
live in Pittsburg. The deceased was single
man, about thirty six years old, and board
ed at Buche's tavern in Camp Washington.
The remains were taken to Habig's last
night for interment.
Coroner Stitch held an inquest this morn
ing and rendered a verdict of accidental
death. The contractors were not to blame
for the accident
