How They Fear Him,

A pious old clergyman, while vending
his way to church one Sunday morning,
caught sight of the two sons of one of
his Pensioners going into the woods,
evidently for the purpose OF hunting.
Feeling certain that anything like de-
cent remonstrance with the young gen.
tlemen themselves would scarcely turn
them from their ways, he waited until
after preaching, and sought the old gen.
tlemaH, their father. After recounting
the circumstance of meeting Billy and
Sammy as he had done, he closed the
appeal by inquiring why they had not
been brought up in the fear of the LORD? !?
Fear of the Lord, parson-fear of the
Lord? Why they hev. They're 50
feared of Him now the dasent go out on
Sunday without double-ba shet-guns
on their shoulders,

Turkey was concluded on the I'd inst.

Turkish revenue which is hypothecated TO
foreign creditors. Nothing is definitely set
tied relative to the Indemnity, but it will

Interesting Discovery at My.

Another tomb has been opened by the
superintendent of excavations at My
cena. Two skeletons were found in If,
one of them with a gold mask The
skull is fairly well preserved, as well as
some Of the half-burnt bones. A beauti-
full little gold cup, quite modern in its
make, was found with them. The house,
first discovered by DR.. Schliemann, and
now undergoing thorough examination,
lies to the east of the tornbs, and con-
tains several chambers, the walls of
which are rudely formed of small unce-
mented stones. Here is a large and mis-
cellaneous collection of prehistoric re-
mains, consisting of ivory ornaments,
beads, and spirals of glass, amber and
lapis-iazuli, stone -rubbers and moulds,
pieces of paint, a stone seal mot engrav-
ed), bone pins and combs, and various
articles made of bronze.

Am Immense Claim.
IN WHICH SOME OF THE RESIDENTS OF
THE PARISH OF PLAQUEMINES ARE
INTERESTED.
IN. O. 2ilIles.t

A meeting Of the various members OF
the Edwards family, the claimants to
! 100000 of property situated III the
city Of New York, was fixed for ycster-
day, May Is, III the city of Indianapolis:
A portion of the heirs are residents OF
the parish of PIaquemines, in this State.
They are the descendants OF William
E. Edwards, formerly OF Iberville, and
of his sister. The ancestor OF this
bsanch of the Edwards family was
Robert Edwards of Wales.
The history of the claim is as follows :
Six years ago Mr.. Henry Edwards, Of
Lobe township, (Canada visited New
York for the purpose of examining the
city records in prosecution OF family
claim, involving the possession OF prop
erty valued at eighty-tWo million dol
lars, and now constituting a considera--
able portion OF West Broadway and
Canal street.
THIS estate, originally a grant Of 35
acres, owned by Robert Edwards, one
coming from Wales, settled in America
sometime previous to the revolution,
ana was subsequently leased to George
Iii for a period OF so years.
At the expiration OF the time stated
the property was to revert TO the heirs
and Successors of the lessor.
The tul lapse OF time having now
trauspired, these heirs awaked to SENSE
! Of ttislr golden prospect. Their inter
ests are ably represented by two leading
claimants, the above mentioned Henry
Edwards and Gen. Edwards Of Georgia,
better known as the great Railroad
Edwards"
These gentlemen have secured the SER
vices OF some of the ablest lawyers i'll
the States, and their active investiga-
tions will soon perfect an elueidation of
the merits of this singular case.
| At first it required no small degree Of
! vigilant energy to trace the case through
al. its connections, but Mr.. Edwards,
undaunted by opposition and undeter-
red 10y discrepancies occurring in the
city registry, determined, with the as
sistance Of his legal advisers, to ferret
opt the truth and secure a recognition
OF the facts pertaining to the justice OF
| the claim. ~ .s.a ~ 5
Two years later. it became necessary
to employ detectives in order to trace
some missing links in the chain of tes-
tlmony. The search resulted in the
tant 1900 miles from New York. This
liber completes the evidence requisite
to secure the right of heritage to the
now numerous descendants Of Robert
Edwards.
1t is probable that an equitable plan
of compromise will be proffered for the
acceptance of the present occupants of
| tue estate; and in event of refusal on
their part to enter upon such negotia-
ton, they will be then supplied from
! the proper source with writs Of eject
ment. &z @#& =
At this meeting each and every claim
ant was to be represented, or il any
remained unpresented they are to be
formally and forever excluded from
after participation In the general action
for future settlement. &
The heirs in Plaquemine sent re-
preventative to the meeting in Indianap-
oils. s~ s.s H. @s@ +

The following article appears in the
Nou- Orleans Times Of the 23d inst:
ST. LANDRY POLITICS.
PROSPECT OF A CONTEST BETWEEN
THE TWO FACTIONS OF THE
DEMOCRATS.

Judge Hudspeth, the present dlstl1ct
;nIgp of the St. Landry district, who
w,s elected as an independent Demo
crar Inv tventv-nine hundred majority
aver the last ditch candidate, is III the
,.itv and called on his old personal
friend Tom Anderson, at the custom
hnusp Yesterday, when Times reporter
met linn and interviewed him on ST.
The parish Democratic convention
merits Saturday to elect sixteen dele
gates TO the Baton Rouge convention.
There is an exciting contest penulng,
and the two factions have two fuii sets
Of delegates in the field. The line or
IrD,arcaton is substantially the same
az heretofore. Que faction call them
selves Conservatives and the othe's
claim to be simon pure Democrats; or
White League, or Last Dilcnel". Ahe
(',nscryutivc ticket contains the names
IT senator H. L. Garland, Judge Bailey,
furmerly a cougresslilan, ex-Spt"ker
Estt!ptte. District Attorney Perrodln,
and n,htr men who are well known
nntsj,le the parish. 1t is also supported
NV senator Robertson, Judge Hudspeti..
un.i other leading men.
Many Of these Conservatives were
Goympr!v called Tom Anderson Demo-
oats. but while no shadOWy cloud can
s,yrr their personal friendship for him,
thev do not now proclaim him as their
It.Ger. This faction is opposed to a
constitutional Convention, while the
onnosite faction, led by Mr.. Lewis, sup
ports it. =, ,.e
of great men, and will have a number
IT as,;jrants for Congressman Robert
sons place before the district conven-
tluil.
We cannot believe that any such in
,erview, as the one reported above took
ulace. There has been no line OF de-
markation in this parish, between fac
tions calling themselves Conservatives
on the one side and White Leaguers on
the other. in many localities only one
ticket was placed in the field, and in
Others when two tickets appeared they
were simply divided on men and not
principles, men who were white leaguers,
being run Oh both tickets. We declare
emphatically that there is but one party
in st. Landry opposed to Radlcallsm'
and that is the Democratic party pure
and simple, Notwithstanding the re-
ported interview Of the Times reporter
with Judge Hudspeth to the contrary.
Since writing the above, Sheriff Duson
has received letter from Judge Hud-
speth, in which the reported interview
is branded as fabrication.

The Indians in COrcoran's Ars
Gallery.
National Republican

They remained in the Gallery for
nearly two hours. At one time they
surrounded the statuury representing
the Goods and GoddeSses of the Chase
How they surveyed, scrutiniztd and
crticized-in silence What a fund of
information to learn the opinions Of tie
savage! 1t could be observed in their
bright dark eyes and subdued actions.
they walked lightly DER the floor, aud
ever and anon they'd whisper and poiut
their fingers, ope their wide mouths,
make big eyes, and seemed transtiXeQ
in wOndrOus wonder.
They gathered round the statute of
the Greek Slave, and then the jabberina;
commenced. What Il novel criticisl'
their opinion in print would make! Mr..
Corcoran informed the great chiefs that
he proposed to present to each and
every one Of them souvenir of the
gallery,
A lady presented Spotted Tail with a
photograph of Venus, but to the surprise
of all present he refused to accept it.
The Interpreter said that his reason for
declining was thatif be took the picture
home he would all the time be wanting
the woman it represented.
The chiefs were attired in citizens
dress, but, strange to Say, when they
entered the gallery they dotted theil
coats, and promenaded through the
picture and statne rooms in all the cool
nonchalance of checkered shirt sleeves
At one time they were drawn up in a
semi-circle in the main gallery, and a
complete photograph taken of the
group. This will be reproduced on
canvass by renowned artist, and
placed in the gallery as memorial.

fisherman Daily Register, July 12thl
We received a call yesterday from c..
c. Duson, Sheriff of st. Landry Parish,
La, accompanied by Capt. Haas, from
the same locality. The night of the
11th of June two hard characters named
Amos Avery and johnson, stole two
fine horses from the stable Of Mr.. Haas.
He pursued the thieves for several day S
without effect, and as a last resort had
one hundred postal cards printed, Civ
ing the description of horses and thieves,
and sent them to different parts of the
counrry. On the 2Gth of June Haas re-
ceived a dispatch from Smith Lipscomb,
sheriff OF Fannin county, Texas, into
whose hands one of the cards had fallen,
informing him that both thieves and
horses awaited his bidding at Bonham.
Mr. Haas and sheriff Duson then went
to New Orleans, obtained a requisition
from the governor of Louisiana, came
by Morgan's line to Galveston, called
on Gov. Hubbard at Austin, secured
the necessary papers, and arrived
here yesterday morning. They left for
Bonilam over the L. & 2. railroad last
night, and by this time are en- route for
the If homes with the thieves and the
stolen property.
During their few hours stay in our
city they called on their old friend Felix
Mandell, the popular salesman with
MAJ or Levy.
