The Attempt 0n t1AAe Life OF tRae
Gear.

st. Petersburg, April 14.-The
would-be assassin OF the czar is
now undergoing examination. A
full official account of the aftlir
says: Toward s O'CLOCK this morn
ing, as the emperor was taking his
customary walk, respectfully
dressed man, wearing It military
cap, with coekade, advanced to-
ward him, and, as the emperor APP
proached nearer, drew q revolver
from the pocket Of his overeoat and
fired four shots ut linn.
The assassin, before submitting
to his eaptors, fired another shot,
slightly mouuding in the cheek, a
person IN the crowd. The great
throng of people, which had as
semh!ed, enthusiastically chsered
and congratulated the emperor,
who thanked them for their proofs
of fidelity on such q painful COCA
sion. He said he knew he had the
support of all the respectable PEG
pile. He hoped God would grant
that he might complete his task,
which consisted iin promoting the
welfare of Russia. The emperor,
after the foregoing speech, drove
to the palace without escort. He
has not suffered the leastill effects
from the attempt upon his life. At
forwards he drove out without 40
escort to Lazar cathedral, to return
thanks for the preservation of his
life. When reeriving the eongratu-
.lations of the officials of the tempine,
at noon, the czar was SO much over
come by his enthusiastic reception
ass to be unable to speak for some
minutes. On recovering from his
emotion he said: "Thisiis the third
time God has spared me-" The
emperor's assallant took poisonbe-
lore his attempt, as he Nomited af-
ter his arrest. Poison was also
found under his finger nails. An
tidotes were administered. It is
Thought the man was an employee
OF the minister of finance, and an
agent of the internafionals. The
sultan and all the European sover-
eigas have photographed their CON
ORGANIZATIONS.

OURTExAs NEIGHBoRs.-.As the
completion of the railroad from
Houston, oia Lake Charles, to New
Orleans, will soon give lis daily
connection withTthe Bayou City, we
would be glad to place one Or two
Houston newspapers on our ex-
change list. The Galveston News
is, and for some years has been, one
of our most valued exchanges. The
Houston papers ought to be con
stantly informed of the progress OF
the railroad towards New Orleans,
and it is time we were becoming
acquainted.

Correspondent La. Sugar-Bowl,
FRANKLIN, La, March 90, 1879.
J. Z. Gilmore, Esq:
Dear Sir send you by TO-
nights boat, as matter OF cur1os-
;ty, d specimen of the genuine
American herring that is being
caught at the mouths OF our marsh
lbayous, emptying into Cote
Blanche Bay This is the first
time i have heard of the fish being
lin the waters of the gulf; and
strange to say, the water is only
SLIGHTLY salty, average depth four
feet, and exceedingly muddy bot
tom 1 have DO doubt that If fish
ermen world move farther down
to salt, clear water, they would be
caught IN laiee plumbers.
When you remember that the
herring is caught only on the coasts
of New England, New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia, 1T .becomec quite
Il curiosity in our extreme South
ern waters.
Gan seLd YOU other specimens
should you desire. Yours truly,

The Extension of the Morgan
Railroad.
Louisiana Sugar Bowl.

Our readers OF Attakapas, as
we'll as our New Orleans friends,
will all be delighted to hear that
the work of the extension OF the
Morgan railroad to Texas is pro-
crossing more rapidly than was
expected. Last week, the gap
between +he completed portions
near PattersouviIIe and CentrevilIe
was closed, and the construction
trains ran from Berwick's Bay
through to Bayou Sale, in the rear
of Centreville, ii distance of fifteen
miles. Next week, it is expected,
theline will be completed to Frank
lin, five miles further, and now we
hear rumors of Il probable 4th Of
July excursion over the completed
line from New Orleans TO New
Iberia. The officers of the line
have not promised to build more
than one-quarter o. a mile per day,
and at that rate it would take
eighty days from Franklin, Or until
the middle of July to reach New
Iberia; but as they have thus far
made better progress than calcutta
ted, we commence to hope the ru-
NOR may become a fact. At that
rate, too, the line would reach Yer
miiionvilIe in eighty days from
New Iberia--so the line may yet
he finished to that point t,efoTe
November, the time appointed by
the Texas division to have their
line completed to Nermiionville.
At all events, we no longer have
any doubts that the through line,
from New Orleans to Texas, will
be all completed within the year
1879.
This is indeed grand prospect
for our country, for it will bring,
in the course Of time, all the ele-
ments of prosperity-populafion,
energy, capital and labor.

The Webster Tribune complains
that our Louisiana congressman
waste valuable time i'll making po-
litical speeches, of earthly Use
except to keep the north and south
in hot water. 1T says they would
do much better by initiating the
northern and western congressman
i'll efforts to procure appropriations
for their respective sections, and
because they don't seem disposed
to do anything but to put them
selves ."ton record" with a view to
reelection, it demands new men
with new ideas.

News from the Sabine.

| We are indebted TO our friend
Samuel A. TaircLild, of Niblett's
Bluff, for the following items of
news from the Bluff, and other
points on the Calcasieu side OF the
Sabine river.
A few days ago tornado swept
the Sabine river swamp, in old MIR.
Fosters neighborhood, blowing
down his dwelling house, and de-
stroying other buildings, and pros
tratingtrees, fences, andeverything
else in its path; Mr.. Foster receiv-
ing severe and perhaps mortal
bodily injuries from the storm.
Last Sunday evening aman called
at MIR. Fairchild's house and re-
quested something to eat. On his
request being granted he walked
away about six hundred yards, and
laid down about two hundred yards
from the road. MIR. Suites, who
with his family was camped near
by, wentto the man and, as a heavy
rain was falling, begged him to rise
and go to a house for shelter. This
was fully two hours before sunset.
The man replied that he was sick,
but would not goto a house because
he had murdered a man. The next
evening parties went to him to min
lister to his wants, and the next day
a gentleman from st. Landry par
ish happening to pass by, looked at
the stranger and instantly recog-
nized him asbeing one Aleck John !
son, who murdered a man i'll Ala
bama about ten years ago, and after
living some time with the wife of his
victim, murdered the woman by
pouring water down her throat I'M
til she was suf1ocated, and then fled
to Texas. The sick man acknowl |
edged his name and identify to MI.
Suites, but refused to be taken to
a house, l,referring to die where he
was. He died there the same even
ing and was buried by the citizens.
A few days before this occurrence
some horse thieves crossed the Sa-
bine to the Louisiana side, but We're
soon compelled to move on by a
party Of Texans from Orange, JAS
per and Newton counties, aided by |
some Of our citizens, the entire
posse numbering over one hundred
men, among whom were the sheriff
of Orange county and the former
sheriff of Jasper county. After
running the thieves out OF the Sd
hine swamp the posse gave certain
families some good advice about
suspicious looking
strangers, and then returned home.
Mr.. Fairchild writes that there
was a heavy and greatly needed
rain few days ago along the Sa-
bine river, extendnguptothetl
line of Vernon parish.
We hope to hear often from our
interesting correspondent at Nib
lett's Bluff.
