fiercely upon his Indian features the marks OF
the daredevil, who expected to die with his
boots ON and with the whistle OF bullets In his
ear. His first crime was that OF wholesale
cattle stealing. SO imperfect arc the laws In
the Indian Territory that Barker and his men
rode with free boots and boldly for many
years. TripIet, a half-breed Cherokee; Scog-
den, the Mexican, and Mason. the Texan, we're
his lieutenants. Men were waylaid, murdered

A BAD MARKsMAN.

He Misses q Man at Close Quarters
Att o'clock last evening o man named John
McMains, residing at the corner OF Pitt and
Bordeaux streets, called at the residence Of Drs
g. Hughes, on Prytania street, between Val-
ence and Bordeaux, and asked to see the doc
tor. AS soon as the doctor opened his front
door McMains Ieveled q pistol and fired on0.
shot at him, but fortunately without effect.
The Doctors face, however, was severely
burned with the powder from McMains' pis-
tOl.
It seems that McMains rented q hous0
from DR.. Hughes, ut the corner OF Bordeaux
and Pitt streets. which has recently been
seized for debt. McMains having been nCtt-
fled by an order Of court to pay the rent, did
60 and by his obedience incurred the dis
pleasure Of DR.. Hughes.
This Was the condition Of affairs last even~5
Ing when McMains's wife informed him that
DIR. Hughes had insulted her while she wa6in
the garden picking oranges.
McMalns thereupon took his pistol and re-
paired to DIR. Hughes's residence, with th6s
result as above stated.

A man in Dallas, Tex, visited neighbor,

gave him dose OF oil and mustard bath,
wrapped him In half dozen blankets. and
then rushed off to the mayor with his report
OF yellow fever case. The mayor listened
very attentively until the man had finished
bits alarming report, when he astonished him
with: You miserable scoundrel, | tell you
there Is no case Of yellow fever in Dallas,
and never has been and never will be. You
have only thought so, ana for thinking It

GEORGIA CoTToH.
A Great Trade Which New Orleans
HhnsaLd Have.

Should Have.
Although the cotton receipts OF View Or
leans are annually large, that our merchants
could handle to the advantage of producers
and the benefit Of the commerce OF this city u
much greater quantity cannot be disputed,
and es hard to contradict Ii the additional
fact that there ere many thousands Of bAlas
raised In the surrounding States and sections
OF the country which should come to this
city, but which for various reasons 40 else~4
where
One OF the States who should send the lar
gest portion of her cotton 10 this city
s Georgia. In conversation on this
subject with O pBMoeRAT reporter a,
prominent cotton flctpr. and one OF
the most entsrprising merchants In the city,
said that New Orleans should secure the
greater part Of tho cotton which goes through
Atlanta to Savannah. Atlanta Ia about the
same distance from New Orleans by railroad
time as Jackson, Tenn, and this city receives
oil Of the cotton from that section OF the
country. All that WIS needed to secure the
Georgia trade for New Orleans was D. cheap
through rateo OF charges and djplay OF ansrRy
on the part Of our business men,
The rato could be fixed by an arrangement,
between several connectinH lines oil road, II in
agreement could be reached, and thie
obstacle overcome 1t wosld not be long before
tho New Orleans merchants would be strug~
Cling for the trade. He thought that IL tho
matter was called proDerly to the attention
Of the railroad peop,a they would adopt n
tariff which would justify the Georgia planter
In sending his cotton tO THE port.
The trade was worth an earnest effort to
get, and he thought the effort should be
made while we are awaiting tho road to
Texas.
AS to the quality Of Georgia cotton, he said
the talk about It's being Inferior and poor was
oil nonsense; that 1t would compare fnvora-
bly, with o great amount of that which at
present comes to this city.
