alive, and his wife says that be is dead.
There is a paid-up insurance policy of
$1,000 on his life, which fact is sup
posed to influence Mrs. Wacherle's
course. Wacherle used to live in Car
yer, Mimi, where he was a foreman in
a machine shop. His wife induced him
to get into life insurance, and he soon
got the idea that she was in hurry for
him to die; so he left Carver, and wan
dered about the country for many years.
Recently he returned to his old home,
and learned that his wife had accumu-
lated alleged evidence of his death. She
refuses to admit his identity, and de-
mands the $1,000.

When proud Melinda passes
Her little platelet back for more,
And sops 'em with molasses.

With griddle-cakes, you'd see
That viands doughnot ease the soul
How waffle that would be.

AN English workman thus testifies in
the English Mechanic of Nov. 29, 1878,
to the goodness of American wares:
"But speak of things which know
thoroughly well when 1 say that in
very many things our manufactures
are not fit to be shown in the same
street with American ones; and thishot
merely in nick-nacks or little ingenui-
ties, as to which it is tolerably evident
we have no pretention to enter with any
comparison. only invite any one who
doubts my statements to compare such
a rough common matter as cut nails
Our rubbish, with half of them split up,
which tend to turn round in the wood
and split it, and with conical heads,
look very poor against the straight.
clean nails, with well-formed heads,
which the Americans used to send out
to Australia, and which, when 1 had
once seen them. prevented me from
ever buying an English nail again as
long as l could get the American
ones"

NEW ORIEANS, Jan. IL.
Judge L. V. Reeves, of Tensas Parish, Chair
man Of the Democratic Committee, testified
regarding the fusion organization in that
parish, which included such Republicans as
Judge Cordell and Sheriff Register; after this
his party declined to appoint committee to
confer with Fairfax; the differences that sub
sequently arose, he was convinced, did not
arise from political causes. Captain Peck
visited Fairfax's house. for no political pur-
poses. The rumor spread that the color line
was to be drawn. The people felt alarmed,
and Peck went to Fairfax to expostulate and
induce him to withdraw from his purpose of
organizing the blacks against the whites. This
was the starting point Of the troubles, and the
question became no longer political, but con-
test between whites and blacks. Everything was
peaceable and quiet on election day. George
Norwood, of Caddo, the next witness exam
ined, appeared with his head bandaged and
spoke with difficulty, having been shot in the
face at the Caledonia affair said the first shot
was fired by the negroes; did not fire shot
that day; is a Republican and always worked
| for the negroes, and thought it hard they
should be the first to shoot him; 1t was re-
ported that the negroes had arms stacked in a
house, and he started there with the deputy
Sheriff to take possession of the arms, fear
| ing threatened disturbance by negroes, and as
they approached the house they were fired up
on. William A. Levy, Of Caddo, a lawyer and
