Burglary is, however, much less common
crime among the Celtic races than violence
and robbery Of the person, and, despite the
multiplicity OF agrarian outrages for which
Ireland has always been Infamous, 1t has often
been boasted on the Green Isle that house
robbery lis an English rather than an Irish
offense. An attempted burglary, which hap
pened not far from D Doneraile, In the county OF
story has become historical, although the
event occurred nearly seventy years ago.
On the morning OF March II, 1911, gentle
man named Purcell was In bed on the ground
floor In a house OF which he was the sole occu-
pant, He was an eccentric old man, and re-
puted to be very wealthy. As he lay In bed
he heard a noise In the next room, and
through the open door he saw man Jump
from the wlndOw-eill into the apartment.
The intruder was followed by another, and
altogether Mr.. Purcell ascertafnod by listen
Ing acutely, that six robbers had got into his
house. The moon was shining brightly, and
the brave old man believing that his life
would be forfeited, deterEained to sell 1t dear
By the side Of the doorway between the
bedroom and sitting room, and, knife In
hand, awaited the first conner, who fell
fatally stabbed to the heart. A second thief
advanced and thrust his gun into the room.
Mr.. Purcell saw that the muzzle was not
pointed at his body, and, as the gun WAS dis
charged, struck Its holder dead just below
the cOllarbone. As the third OF the band
crept cautiously across the threshold Mr..
Purcell discovered that his knife was bent,
and calmly Strengthened the blade between
his teeth previous to plungiDg 1t into his third
victims heart.
The rest Of the band, daunted by the In
trepid resistance offered to them by single
old man, retreated to an open window, and,
getting out of 1t with all speed. turned their
backs upon q house which already contained
three Of their dead companions. Mr.. Pur-
cell, when the story was told to Mr.. Perceval,
then Prime Minister, was knighted for his
bravery, and went ever afterwards by the
name Of "The Blood-red Knight"

AFRICAN SALUTATIONS.

meet In this wild country. Each OF the per-

his turban, seizes his spear and throwing iron

turned by the other In a similar tone The
word Is exchanged again and again, being
commenced In loud, high.pitched note and
gradually run down the scale until 1t reaches
low bass murmur. When 1t has become so
shouted again ~ high key and the gamut Is
run through as before This goes On for q
very long while, the performers going through
II as strict matter OF ceremony, and taking
no interest In one another all the while, but
looking round at the horizon Or elsewhere
during their vocal exertions. After while
various forms OF the question "How are you?"
and the answer SWELL" are introduced; at
last questions or other topics are brought for
ward, although now and again the '.ihilla"
bursts out In the midst of them. but tho series
OF notes In which 1t is shouted become shorter
and shorter At last the "ihilla" is got rid OF
altogether, and ordinary conversation be-
comes possible. Strangers do not shake
hands, but acquaintances do. The covering

is considered as most important matter OF

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1880-10-30


by removal Of the sugar tariff demanded
by Louisianas representatives. Gen.
Hancock heads party that in its plat
form in 1876 declared:
We denounce the present tariff laid upon
nearly 1000 articles, as q masteTp piece of in
Justice and false pretense. 1t has impover-
ished many Industries and subsidized a
few, etc.
In 1880 the Democratic convention
pledged itself anew to the doctrines
"elnbodied in the platform Of the last
(1S76) national convention" and speci-
ally declared for "a tariff for revenue
only" If these free trade declarations
are admitted to be correct, there is no
branch of trade more deserving of de-
nunciation as oppressive and subsidized
than the sugar industry. The sugar tar
if has imposed a burden on the sugar
consumers of thirty-six States and seven
territories for the benefit of an industry
almost wholly confined to Louisiana
An abolition Of the tariff has repeatedly
been demanded by free trade Democracy
and the tariff has as often been up
held by Republicans. Congressman
whose constituents have selitshly de-
manded free sugar for their tea and cof-
fee, have been true to the protective
principle, and maintained the communi-
ty of interest between all branches Of
American industry as their sole saliva
ton.
Sugar planters Of Louisiana are asked
to make choice between two leading
candidates for the Presidency, one Of
whom is a statesman of ability, in full
accord with a strong, full pledged tariff
party; the other, a mere soldier, with
little experience in political affairs, who
first pledged himself to his party's free
trade platform, afterward wrote tariff
letter to Senator Randolph. and who in
any event will be controlled by MAORI
ty in Congress selected to abide by the
platform. The vote of Louisiana should
be well nigh unanimous for Garfield as
an evidence of practical business sagaci-
ty without reference to any other politi-
cal consideration Whatsoever.

the sisterly feeling entertained by Louis
lana for the mighty Lone Star State was
not exaggeration.
The only obstacle now existing to the
acquisition of liberal share of Texas
trade by New Orleans Is in the exorbitant
exactions of the avaricious cormorants
who control our new Texas railroad. The
sooner the strong arm Of the government
is stretched forth to guide and restrain
these great corporations, the better it
will be fur the country and sooner will
prosperity come to this bounteous land,
destined to be the paradise of the world.
Venality and corruption in our local
government have boone legitimate fruit
by promoting vice and a disregard Of
law among the lower classes of the peo-
pie. Hoodlumism is rampant and the
leading characteristics of the police force
are inefficiency and brutality, and now
the spirit of wrong doing seems to be
taking root in the fairer portion Of the
community, engendering a disposition to
assert the equal rights of woman in q
way that is particularly unnattractive.
A few days ago recreant husband was
shot at by his Infatuated wife for display
ing fondness for other women; and
more recently heartiess stepmother, one
Mrs. G. Schneider, barely escaped being
lynched by mob of indignant females
for cruelty beating and maltreating the
children Of her predecessor. The majesty
of the law has been vindicated in this
