Trouble i'm London About Yankee
Picture.
London Letter .

An Am erican has brought the Royal
Academy into an odd dilemma Mr..
Ernest Parton is the offender. He was
indiscreet enough to paint a picture
which the committee thought good
enough to buy and pay for out of the
Chantery fund. II is one Of four pictures
so bought, and certainly not the least
meritorious of the four. The title of it
is "The Waning ofthe Year." and it ap-
pears on the catalogue with all the
honors of an italic announcement OF its
purchase under the terms of the
Chantrey bequest. Too late, the coun-
Gil discovered two things; that the
Chantrey bequest was expressly given
for the encouragement of British art,

manner toward him and his compan-

Two others providentially escaped the
general massacre. All the rest persisted
by the hands of the human fiends, and
our once thriving, happy village became
an awful scene of death and desolatlon.

A New Use for ParIOrs.
From the New Haven Palladium

On one of the principl avenues lead
ing from the city is large residence
which the owner has for some time al.
lowed one of his employees to occupy,
Whenever the owner visited the house
he was received in the rear part by the
occupants, and did not visit the front
portions of the building. Recently,
however, he found his way into the par
lor. and was somewhat astonished to
find that one was used as cow-house
and the other had been converted into
a hennery.

THE DEMOCRAT "FLOPPED."

TO show our esteemed cOnfrere of
the New Orleans Democrat that we
were not the only editor who needed
"sober second thought" we copy
the following from that staunch coun-
try paper, the Vienna Sentinel:
We regard it as quite blow to the
people of Louisiana that the New Or
leans Democrat has changed hands.
As long as Maj. Hearsey controlled
that paper it was a bold and able
champion of the people! utterly fear
less and matchless, but under its new
regime it has fallen into the old
grooves and ruts worn threadbare by
the Times and Picayune. 1t seems
now to be the pronounced organ of
the bondholders. We are told that
Maj. Hearsey still writes for it. If
so, "H. J. Hearsey, Editor" and H.
j. Hearsey as an impersonat journal
ist are two different men, and we
prefer the editor"
We hope that Maj. Hearsey will
soon have absolute control of some
good paper. The people of Louisiana
can but lily spare his sledge hammer
blows in their defense at this time.
Since the Democrat has Chopped" ;"
the sprightly and consistent City Item,
is the only paper in New Orleans that
seems inclined to reflect public senti-
ment. The others seem to be run in
the interest of cliques, combinations
and monied corporations.

A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT.

The following from the Patriot
Democrat is startling in the extreme.
Who can blame our country delegates
for wanting to remove the political
capital from a place SO full of corrup-
ton? We would doubt the charges
contained therein, but few days
ago we saw the charge made openly i'll
the columns of the Shreveport Iele.
gram by the delegates from North
Louisiana. The Shreveport Times
reputation flop had been heralded
by every prominent paper in New
Orleans, and when the Telegram came
out with another view of the situa-
ton, charging the Times with recre-
ancy and upholding the action Of the
delegates, but one Of the papers would
publish it, and that only by leaving
out the most pungent clauses. If the
bondholders haven't tied them up,
what is the matter7 Read what the
Democrat says, and then blush for
your country: awe are in receipt of
a letter from wealthy, talented,
truthful and influential gentleman
from the opposite side of the Missis-
sippi river, who has been spending
several weeks in New Orleans, watch
ing the movements of the Convention.
This gentleman authorizes us, to for
ward, at his erpense, copies of the
Patriot Democrat to every Democratic
member Of the Contention. He con-
cludes his letter in the following
startling language: "A great many
members have been in New Orleans
so long that that they forget they
represent poor constituents at home.
You can not get an article in opposi-
ton to the bondholders in New Or
leans paper. The country press have
a heavy responsibility upon them.'"

MURDER.
Lafayette advertiser.


On Friday night, the 9Th instant,
Joseph Dupuy, a teacher of q colored
school, was killed on the plantation
of Mr.. Zenon Broussard, at Oarencro,
in this parish, by two yonng negroes,
T0ussaint and Jim, aged 16 and 90
years. 1t seems that they went to the
house Of the deceased about 81 o'clock
p. NJ, and called him out behind an
clubhouse where they put in their
work. The weapon used was a knife;
two wounds were inflicted, one in the
left breast and the other in the head
just over the left ear, causing death
in about fifteen minutes. The ac-
cused were apprehended the day fol-
lowing and placed in Jail:
On the 28th ult., in the pinewo ods,
near Randolph's mill, Price Terrell
shot and killed Jesse Simpson, son
of our worthy and well known citizen,
Charles Simpson. Terrell at once
came to town, gave himself up to the
proper authorities and, on the affidavit
of the Parish Attorney, w. G. Nc.
Gimpsey, was lodged in Jail to await
his preliminary examination. Coro-
ner Roberts proceeded to the locality
where it occurred, but only reached
the dead man as he was about to be
buried and, learning that an inquest
had been held by r. H. Dabney, he
was refused further official action in
the matter.-Alerandria Democrat.

SAD DEATH.
WaskiN0tOn Ne,cs.

Another heart-rending and fearful
illustration of the shocking habit Of
carrying and carelessly handling
deadly weapons, was added to the
already overgrown list, in Opelousas
on last Wednesday morning. Mr..
Clinton Richard, the eldest son and
justly the hope and pride Of a widowed
mother, was hurled into eternity by a
bullet from a pistol in the hand Of a
first cousin. He was onlya l8 or 20
years of age. His mother early
appreciating his character, had with
that self-sacri6cing devotion that a
mother only, is capable of feeling or
exercising, her means being limited,
deprived herself of the luxuries and
even many Of the more substantials Of
life, In order to afford him the oppor-
tunity of acquiring an education that
would fit him for the position that
nature, had so eminently intended him
for in life. To the very great gratifica-
ton Of his doting mother and admiring
friends, he made the very best use of
his opportunities and soon became
prepared, for the duties of a useful
man in society. Though yet a boy his
uncles, Messrs. A. and NJ. Richard,
after a few months service as a clerk,
discovered in him such talent and de-
votion to business, that they virtually
gave him charge Of a fourisling coun-
try store on the Atchafalaya River,
where he had been separated from his
only living parent for nearly two
years, when he started on u visit to
that estimable person. He reached
Opelousas, spent the night with his
cousin, Joe Hayes, indeed, we are told,
slept in the same bed with him. They
both arose early Oh Monday, young
Richard to hurry on his visit of love
and the other to bid him God speed,
when young Hayes, before either were
dressed, commenced swapping an old
pistol at different objects in the room
and finally pointed at his cousin, when
it went off, causing his death in few
minutes.

HYDRoPHoB1A.
[Mindea Tribune. I

From Mr.. $. A. Monzingo, we
learn Of a death, resulting from the
bite Of a dog, which had an attack Of
hydrophobia. A colored girl, aged
about IA years, living on the place Of
Mrs. DIR. Martin, at Cotton Valley,
was bitten by a "mad dog,n in Belle
vue, about three weeks ago. DR..
Mobley treated the wound for hydro
phobla by burning it with caustic. On
Wednesday, June 4th, the girl was
attacked with hydrophobia of q violent
type. When the spasms were upon
her, she was almost wild with de-
lil1nm, and became even more so at the
sight Of water. DR.. j. c. Cheshire
was called in, and at once pronounced
it hydrophobia, though lie had never
before seen a case.
Death ended the unfortunate girls
sufferings Saturday morning. three
days after the attack of the fearful
disease.

by the offended one and held to an
swer for a failure to perform any pro-
mise or pledge made.
As we glanced around at the sweet
faces that dotted the hall on every
side, the thought came to us that we
were any thing but tyrant and an
oppressor of the fair sex. We felt
that we were weaker than the loved
ones; aye, the willing slave instead
of the monster, as we were being
called. We were ready and anxious
to surrender on almost any terms.
Yes, we would give them every right
that their advocates claimed, and
ourself too, if they wanted us. There,
right in the region of the heart, to
the left, we felt kind Of palsy or
weakness indescribable, funny feel
ing pervading that organ. Then
to come and talk to us about being
one of the tyrants and despots Of the
world! Bergh was not around, else
in our Indignation, we would have
appealed to him, to extend over our
sex the broad mantle of the statute
for the protection of animals from
cruelty!
We appeal to our constituents to
do something in this emergency we
need to hear from them. We can't
stand the pressure and if a vote comes,
we are going over to the enemy and
we'll give them all that they ask, un-
less we can receive in time the pro-
ceedings of u mass meeting instruct
ing us to stand firm. The influences
are too overpowering; SO much SO
that one of our most reliable COL
leagues is weakening from hour to
hour.
The committee on general provis-
ions will, in all probability, send
in its report this week. The Capital
question therefore is not far distant.
The minds of the majority on this
point, however, seem to be fixed in
our favor, and we await confidently
the result when the time comes.
The heat is becoming almost intol-
cradle, and some of the members are
talking about the advisability of an
adjournment till next fall. 1t is
strongly opposed, however, by the
mass of the members, who hold that
it is best to stand the heat and get
through with the work, 50 that the
people may be saved the uncertainty
and the additional expense that an
adjournment would undoubtedly en-
tail, as most of the work that we have
gone through would be reconsidered
and nearly everything would come
up again for a fresh discussion. We
are for "holding the fort" while we
are at it. More anon.

ARREST Of "A FUGITIVE From
POINT ooUPEE.
[Dosaldsosvills cru. i

Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff
Louis Lef0rt and Town Constable
Jos. A. Duhell arrested Robert Hol.l
den, col0iod man who recently shot
and killed George Washington, also
colored, at New Texas landing in the
parish Of Point Coupee. Holden was
working ON q. fatboat which piled be-
tween this place and ThibOdauk, and
he was arrested upon the Information
Of John Smith, 4 colored resident 81
Donaldsonville who formerly lived in
Point Coupee and knew both Holden.
and the man lie killed. We visited
Holden in Jail shortly after his incar-
ceration and he unhesitatingly gave
us the following particulars Of the
homicide. He said he had rented .
small tract Of land in the vicinity Of
New Texas landing, and employed
Washington to assist inits cultivation
both men living on the land with
their respective families, their cabins
being situated in close proximity to
each other. Causes Of dissatisfaction
arose which engendered hard'feelings
between the two men, one Of the in
centives to bad blood being the quar-
relsome and noisy disposition Of
Washington's wife. The two men
had frequent disputes, and on Tues
day, the goth Of May they became in
volved in the difficulty which result
cd in Waslington's death. After a
war Of words, Washington started to-
wards his cabin for the avowed pur-
pose Of getting his gun and killing
Holden, which he had threatened to
do upon several occasions. Holden
also ran for weapon, and his cabin
being closer to the scene of the quar-
rel than that Of his antagonist, he
secured his shotgun and "got the
drop" on Washington, lodging load
of buckshot in his neck and killing
him instantly. Holden says his first
impulse was to surrender himself and
stand a trial, but having no one to
advise with upon the point, he con-
cluded to get out Of the way for
awhile until he could "see how the
case Stood" He expresses entire
willingness to return and seems to
think the killing was justifable. He
says Washington was trifing, quar-
relsome fellow, and this estimate Of
his character corresponds with that
given by the Point Coupee Pelican.
Deputy Sheriff Israel has notified
the Sheriff Of Point Coupee of the ar
rest of Holden. .94.q #4 t98

DROWNED.
[Gretna Courier. I

There have been two deaths from
drowning since our last issue. Both
almost in the same spot. The first
was on Sunday night between II and
IL o'clock, when an unknown person
fell from the wharf of the Crescent
Oil Company. The watchman, Mr..
James Cleary, heard his cry for help,
but before any assistance could be
rendered the unfortunate, he had
disappeared beneath the muddy water
of the Mississippi.
The other happened on Thursday,
between one and tive o'clock in the
afternoon. Caesar Reed, colored, aged
about 81 years, while attempting to
board a barge at the Crescent City oil
company's wharf slipped, and fell into
the river and was seen no more. In
falling his head struck the barge
which, it is supposed, stunned him.
At this writing neither bodyihas been
