A Bad Man Recaptured .--What He
Threatens to Do and How will
Manage It.

JEFF Logan, the biggest, the worst
rascal and the meanest tongued niger
In these parts, was arrested last night
while prowling along the bayou, near
Avery Chapel, and is now in the Gala
boose, to be returned to the peniten-
tiary, where he was sent two years ago
for robbing Captain Marsh Miller.
jeff is a tough character, and is one
OF the sort that Belts ought to lay
for. He originally went to the peni-
Tertiary for ten years, but got a new
trial and was let off with one year.
JEFF, however, managed to escape after
three weeks service at the Ensley
farm, and since then he has been the
head and front of depredating scamps
about Central Point and other theiv-
ing quarters. The way Jef's tongue
ran when captured yesterday was
a caution. He says he is an
honest Niger, never stole a
thing in his life, and hal he was shot
at a dozen times or less by the bloody
officers when he was arrested on the
first occasion. He had it in his head,
he says, that all of the officials who
were instrumental in sending him up
had been killed by yellow jack, but to
his disgust he finds a few still on the
catch path. jeff threatens, if he gets
loose again, to fire Memphis, Fort
Pickering and the whole territory
where officers reside that spend their
time hunting his fellow-rascals-all
except Chelsea, which he has an affec-
ton for and will not %injure. jeff
would be a good citizen to join in with
the Kansas ~emigrants.

THE EUCHARIST.
Anniversary Of the Lords Supper-'-The
Hottest Period Of the Year.

This is the anniversary of the Lords
Supper, or the Holy Eucharist, called
by Catholics Maundy Thursday. After
mass this morning in the Catholic
churches the bells were silenced and
will be rung no more until the ecur-
renee of the angelical hymn proclaims
the resurrection on Easter morning.
This and the two succeeding days are
the most solemn of all the year in the
entire Christian world. In some sects
the ceremony of washing the feet
is performed in honor of Cor
pus Christi, or thanksgiving for
the restitution of the sacrament.
After vespers to-day in the Catholic
churches the affairs will be Invested of
their coverings and ornaments to rep
resent the stripping of the Savior of
his garments, for which HerOd's SOL
diers cast lots and divided among
themselves 1t also typi6es the loss
of Christ's beauty and majesty, and
the deprivation of his glory by his
divine Master previous to the bloody
sacrifice of the crueifxion. To-mor-
row the church affairs will be adorned
with black vestments and priests will
PROSTATE themselves without light OF
incense. Next morning the affairs are
redressed, the lights turned on, and
