Our esteemed contemporary, the

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, denounces an article in the
recent number of Scribner's Month
~ on stSoathern Civilization" as a
tissue of outrageous lies on the
South. We have never known one
of these Yankee publications, sup
ported to great extent by Southern
patronage, that did not turn against
us as soon as it had fairly got on it's
legs. Enough Southern money has
been spent on these magazines to
have permanently founded half
dozen Southern periodicals, of equal
ability, aud wholly devoted to
Southern institutions and Southern
interests. The Southern people are,
therefore, entitled to very little sym
pathy when they get themselves
swindled and outraged by the Har-
pers, the Putnams and Scribners
who find it so easy to fall in with
the Radical howl against the South
esn people whenever it is to their
interest so to do Shreveport Even-
ing Standard.

An Attempt at Jail BURNING.

Last Tuesday night Oath ult.),
about II o'clock, an alarm of fire
came from the Jail house. About
hall dozen persons who were assem-
bled at B. F. Oneaps store first heard
the alarm, ran to the Jail and found
one of the cells on fire inside, The
two negro prisoners, Jack Coleman
and Albert Williams, in the cell,
were calling for water and help
They were almost suffocating from
the room being filled with smoke,
which was flowing out Of the CRATE
windows. The first parties there
hurried off messenger for Sheriff
Wyche, who, with his deputies, soon
put in their appearance with the
Jail keys. In the mean time, quite
crowd had gathered at the scene
OF excitement. The cell door was
thrown open and the ladder put
down, when the prisoners were soon
in the top cell. The fire was found
to be confined to the floor, and the
prisoners were made to descend
again and handed water to extin
guish it, but made slow progress
until several white men entered to
assist them. 1t had by this time
taken such deep hold on the floor,
although it had not spread much
from where it first originated, that
it was rather difficult to CONTROL
But, finally, from the prompt action
and quick work of those present,
with plenty buckets and water, the
fiend was subdued.
From the action. of the two priso-
ners (they were the only ones con-
fined in jaiD during the whole time,
and other circumstances all bearing
close connection, it was the conclu-
sion of all present that they set the
Jail on fire in order to make their es
cape. They hoped to burn hole in
the floor and scratch out under the
wall, not knowing the substantial
floor and foundation of the Jail rem
dered such thing impossible. Anoth.
er version was that they would set
the cell on fire and let it get far
enough to be out of control and give
the alarm, thereby creating panic,
when the authorities would rush tc
the Jail and let them out, and during
the excitement they would escape
The latter version is the more proba
bic.
The facts were so strong against
the prisoners, that Sheriff Wyche
swore out warrant against then
for "wilfully setting the Jail Oh fire.
and had them promptly arraigned
before Parish Judge Braden, who
upon the strong circumstantial evi
dence adduced, committed them to
| Jail without bail. Should they come
clear Of previous charges, they still
have this grave charge to disprov'
or pay its penalty.
If the Jail had burned, it woul'
have been next to impossible to say,
the business houses on west side o
the parallelogram, which numbered
some four or five. Our citizens ar
ever ready to fly to the rescue of lif
and property. ~
