towards his place of business, and did no,
recover his presence of mind till he met
some who were hurrying to the scene oil
action.
In connection with these incidents If
shouId be mentioned that certain young
men appeared at the fire "all rugged out

mile and half from the village on the

chimney. The house was occupied by a
family of the name of Lyon, an honest,
hard working man, but with small means
and family of children. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lyon were both absent at the time of the
fire, as he works threshing machine, and
returned Saturday night from work TO

much of the contents were saved. rs only
two small boys were at home at the time
of the fire.

The great volume of the exodus from the
South is now turning into Indiana instead of
Kansss. The Leavenworth Times saws this
is right for two reasons:
First, because Indiana is an old State, her
farmers are generally "well fixed" and are
able TO take care Of the newcomers till such
time as they can support themselves; while
. very large proportion Of the white settlers
in Kansas have all they can do to take care
of themselves, and are able to do but very
little toward aiding destitute refugees, black
or white.
Second, because these black men are all
Republicans, and it is right that they should
locate where their votes will do the Repub-
lican party the most good. Indiana is close
State. 1t is not impossible that the result of
the next Presidential election may be deci.
ded BY Indiana, and it would be q case of
more than poetic justice if the votes Of these
poer blacks should be the means of defeat
ing the party that has driven them from
their homes.

c. w. johnson, Kansas weather proph-
ef, has had some Of his predictions Knocked
into cooked hat; but Mr. johnson does not
claim to be weather-~ise; his predictions are
based upon the periodicity Of events; but
these events vary in their course. He pre-
diets dry season to follow the drouth Of
1879; the fall rains however disturbed these
calculations. Mr.. johnson says the dry Pc
Rod will be shifted eastward and northward.
Central and Western Kansas will suffer, the
Southwest escaping mostly. There is pro-
liability of plenty of rain in this region next
year, which We infer from the following by
Mr.. johnson:
''During the past season tho return trsdes
have had more than the usual tend to the
East. This has deluged Western Europe
and the northern part Of our Pacific Slope,
while from the Eastern shore lands the hu-
mid vspors have been turned of, as q fire.
man turns away his hose-nozzle. Assuming
that the predictions made in Europe, to the
effect that their Atlantic humid winds will
be turned of next year, are true, still do
not believe that they will beat 70 the Rockies
even the average wafer supply Of $780,"
Mr.. johnson may be wrong in his belief
of the extent of these return trades. We can
indulge in the bel ef that he will be, and
that the Atlantic humid winds will reach the
Rockies, encountering the heavy enows Of
that region, and giving US an abundance of
rain on the plains. Mr.. johnson ssye:
As We are likely 10 have one and posi-
bly, two more "~et SPELLS" it is perhaps
well to warn against them in advance. March
and May, or February and April, will pro-
badly keep up the surprises, BY giving us out
Of season, rains in larger quantities than US
ual for those months, distributed, as it has
been heretofore. by big rains and six or eight
weeks of drouth. 1t is the peculiarly of the
present planitory period to present extreme
phenomena. Great heat follows unusually
cool weather, great rains succeed periods Of
unusual length without rain. The system by
which work assumes that the amount Of
water evsporated, year BY year. is nearly
constant By it the phenomena of food and
water arise from inequality in distribution.
This implies that between the regions where
the excess falls, and the region where it is

Tho Donaltlsonville CHIEF begins it's

always regarded the CHIEF as one of the

the CHIEF and its talented editor contin-
ned prosperity.
We assure our friend of the Courier
that no difference of opinion which

nal anti the CHIEF can impair our
high appreciation of his kindly senti-
ments, nor. VIC trust, interrupt the
uniformly pleasant relations that have
been maintained by our papers in the

The contest between Wilt and Og-
den for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination is waging fiercely, and
what the result will be no one can
predict with any certainty. All other
candidates are considered out of the
race, excepting as dark horses with
little chance of being brought to
flight, rand the prevailing opinion is
that either Wilt or Ogden will be
nominated on first ballot. In New
Orleans the upper portion of the city
resounds with the roar of the Ogden
boom, while the district below Canal
street is swept by the Wilt wave.
The parishes seem nearly as equally
divided as the city, aud the conflict
ing claims made by the friends of the
candidates can not be deci-
ded even with Approximate precision
prior to the taking of a ballot in the
State convention.

YELLOW FEVER IN ASSUMPTION.

ing parish of Assumption. While the
fact Of the appearance of this dread
malady is to be deplored, we do not
regard it by any means alarming OF
Indicative of another epidemic. The
season is too far advanced for the dis
ease to obtain much Roadway before
cold weather, and the atmospheric
conditions now prevailing. are not
favorable to its spread. Doubtless
the cases reported are Of the sporadic
order, and we believe the attending
physician will be successful III his ef-
forts to confine the fever to the two
families afflicted.
The communication above referred
to reads as follows:

STAINS OF POLICE IuMIs,

Some speculation has arisen with
reference to the official tenure Of the
Police Jurors Of the various parishes
of the State, growing out Of the fact
that in the election proclamation is
sued by Acting Governor Wilt, no
mention is made of those officers. The
omission has been regarded by many
as accidental, but sncl, is not the
case. Paragraph 3, art. 262, of the
proposed constitution reads as fol-
lows:
1t shall also be the duty of the Gov
ernor in his said proclamation, to direct
the said officers authorized by law to
hold elections, to open and hold a poll
at the above stated time and places for
the election Of Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, members of the General AS
sembly, Secretary of State, Attorney
General, State Auditor and Superintend-
ent of Public Education, and of all other
officers achose election BY the people is pro-
rided for IN this constitution and the
names of the persons voted for shall be
written or printed on the same ticket
and deposited in the same box as the
votes "For or against the constitution"
Nowhere in the constitution is any
reference made to Police Jurors, either
to prescribe their duties or to provide
for their election, hence the Governor
had MOI. authority to include them
among the officers to he chosen in
December. The status of Police
Juries will depend upon future legis-
lation by the General Assembly and
the existing bodies will remain in
office until otherwise provided for by
laws vet to be enacted.
