Yellow Fever in st. Mary.

The Population Of Our Swamps
New Iberia Sugar Bowl.

No one not acquainted with swamp
;iife would or cunld conceive of the
strange COMMUNICATING If races which,
may be found among them.
The swamps lying between the
highlands Of the Mississippi, Red
river and the Attakapas, and extend
ing down to Morgan City, comprises
u vast area of swamps, lakes aud
bayous, all Of which overflow from a
crevasse on the Mississippi river.
Throughout these swamps is to be
found at all times l, floating popula-
ton. Some Of these men have edu-
cation and intelligence, others as
ignorant aud nncouth as the most
isolated Western frontier men. They
come from and represent almost every
nationality OF the earth. There NAV

dark h1ed STRAIGHTFORWARD Indian, the
yellow queer eyed Chinese, the Span
lard, Frenchman, DutGhman, Italian,
Greek, Englishman, Nortl,el ner and
.Southerner Of America, and almost
every variety Of combination from
these. They come from all directions,
speaking almost every language, and
as different in ideas and appearance
as any human beings can be- from
each other. Yet, when there, they
quickly fall into what may be termed
swapping habits, and adopt til.
swampers laws and code of morals.
They are, generally speaking, IL ronyh
and lmprovident people, many with
out any home attachments. Their
life .sa hard one, full Of peril and

Drinking Customs in the South.

In Virginia there is method and order
in drinking. The climate being colder,
the blood is not so thick, and hence the
necessity for drinks every hour is not
urgent. THERE'S also more economy in
Virginia, where the close methods of
the regions of hog and hominy are OBJ
served. Here in Alabama we drink in
winter to keep warm and in summer to
keep cool. In the cities we drink to be
sociable and to show that we are men
about town, and in the country we
drink to keep off chills and to cure
snake bites. We are opposed to the
continual drinking which exists in Rus
STA and other parts of the barbarous
world, but do not object to q cocktail
when we get up, a snifter just before
breakfast, throat-clearer just after
breakfast, luncher at IL O'Clock, two
or three sociables between IL and din
ner, bottle of wine or good strong
whisy straight at dinner. After dinner,
having been thus abstemious during
business hours, we open ourselves lit
tie and drop in at the saloons and clubs
to see how political affairs are moving.
If the country is in danger or if we find
it popular to abuse good neighbor for
the benefit of faction, the matter can
be better discussed over drink or so.
The judgment is better balanced and
opinions more readily formed over the
fumes of a lot whisky punch. We be-
come more eloquent and express our
opinions with that emphasis of state
ment which marks the free American.

II the owner is continually starting the
horse into motion, and urging him to
'show off, something may be sus-
pected, because it is when the horse is
at perfect rest that his weak points are

stand square on his limbs, without
moving any of them, the feet being
placed fat upon the ground, and all
his legs plumb and naturally posed. If

JULIA JOHNSON, q negro woman, liv-
ing near Jonesbor0, Ga, had an inordi-
nate love of fnery, and lacked the mon
ey to indulge herself in that weakness.
The widow Farmer, a white neighbor,
aged so, was known to keep about 800
in q bureau draw. Julia went to the
widows house, enticed her daughter
into the woods, killed her. returned to
the house, killed the widow, got the
money, set fire to the building and es.
capped to her own home without being
seen. The atrocity of the crime excited
the people highly, but at first no suspi-
cion was entertained of Julia. Two
days afterward, unable to longer curb
the desire that had led her to commit
the deed, she went to Jonesboro and
spent all of the money for dresses and
jewelry. Her expenditures attracted a
detectives attention, and so much proof
of her guilt was obtained that she con-
fessed.
AT Chicago, the other evening, when
the streets were full of people going
from work, three men in sleigh drov e
up in front of goldsmith's jewelry
store, 90 East Madison Street. Two of
them jumped out; one placed stick
through the door to prevent any one
from getting out, while the other with a

show-window. Each grabbed tray of
diamond rings, and, regaining the
sleigh, drove rapidly off, going north
on Dearborn Street. The whole affair
was SO boldly and quickly done that
passers-by could make little effort to
catch the robbers. Some person made
a grab for them and pulled off the over
shoe of one, which is the only clew to
their identity. The man who broke the
window, first struck the glass, but, as it
did not yield, he threw the Ratchet with
all his force, and it went through into
the store. There we're some 60 rings in
the trays stolen, the value being about
$500. The police and detectives we're
hard at work, with but little hope of Sc
curing the bold thieves.

A Fable for "the Cultured.o

There was once q good little boy who
was sent by his mother to the bakery on
a Sunday morning for the weekly pot
of beans. The sidewalk was slippery,
the bean-pot was slippery, and as the
good little boy wore nothing but slip
pers on his feet, it is not at all surpris-
ing that he fell down, broke the beam
pot, and anointed the sidewalk with his
mothers breakfast. While he was weep
ing over his misfortune, bad little boy,
whose mother had also sent him to the
bakery for her weekly pot of beans,
coming along, laughed and Knocked ex-
ceedingly at the poor boys sorrow.
Now, while he was yet thus knocking and
laughing, q man running for doctor
knocked the bean-pot from the bad lit
tie boys hands, breaking it into pieces
and spreading its savory contents over
the sidewalk, whereupon his laughter
was changed to weeping, and he lifted
up his voice and mourned vociferously.
Moral: Never pork fun at the unfor-
tunate, for You never know how soon
You may bean trouble yourself.-Boston

The Contest Between Guns and Plates.

We are not only, it seems, to have
steel-clad Elen-of-war, but steel projec-
tiles as well, for the gunnery expert
ments at Shoeburyness prove beyond .
doubt the efficacy of these missiles.
There is one Whitworth projectile, we
are told, which has twice penetrated an
iron target of IL inches without being
any the worse for the process. 1t is
made of what is termed compressed
steel, and the only proof it bears of hav-
ing passed through the solid iron plate
is the fact that it is shorn of the pro-
jecting studs of brass. For its second
journey it was only necessary for the
projectile to be restudded, and it then
fitted the gun as accurately as before.
Very little is known as yet of the action
of steel shot against steel armor; but so
far as experiment has gone, it appears
pretty evident that by the aid of such
projectiles, guns will once more gain
the ascendency over armor. A steel
plate will repel an ordinary chilled shot,
which passes easily through an iron
plate. Thus at Spezza, when the 100
ton gun of Sir William Armstrong was
proved, it was found that while 22-inch
iron plate was readily pierced, . steel
slab of the same thickness effectually
repulsed the shot. The steel got
in the trial, but it did not al
low the shot to pass. For the moment,
therefore, srmor triumphed over gun,
for as long As battle-ship can keep out
an enemy's shot, it is . matter of little
whether her metal scales
suffer. For this reason the Italians, the
French and ourselves are all contem-
plating the building Of steel-clads. But
now comes the question whether steel
shot can not injure steel armor as fatally
as the chilled projectiles damage our
iron-clads. This is exceedingly proba-
BILE, and, it 50, we shall be no better off
than we were before. The only diff
ference will be that the cost Of produc.
lion both of armor plates and projectiles
will be magnifed. We shall be able to
Afford but one steel-clad battle-ship for
every three or four iron-clads. Just .,
