We can not but believe Mr.. Nayare's
statement to be true, and that he i
innocent and hope it will be made clea,
on the trial or Mrs. Alexandra Borne
who has been arrested in New Orleans
charged with kidnapping. Her object
the doctor says, was to obtain posses
sion of his property.
The meeting between father and son
was very affecting one on the fathers
part. The boy was quite, cool, and did
not seem much affected. The son
strongly resembles tho father in his
features. His recollections of his father
was very lndistinct. The boy said his
father had changed a great deal, That
his recollection OF him was that of a
much younger man. Trouble and anx-
lety, had perhaps added score of Years
to his appearance, and the wonder is
that he retained any resemblance to his
former self. Uf Mr.. LeBesque, That
n.carted and whole souled gentle
man, who neglected his business, spent
his money and time, without any hope
of reward, except the feeling that he
had contributed to the happiness of a
poor old broken down friendless man,
too much can not be said in praise. Mr..
LeBesque is a batchelor, about thirty
five or thirty six years old, who has no
children, and says lie don't u0nt any, for
he knows they would all be so good
looking, that somebody would he certain
to steal them. He is one Of natures
noblemen, and we hope his life will be
as happy and prosperous as he deserves
it should be.
Twas merry Christmas Eve to all
who took an interest in the case, and
from what we learned next morning
we strongly suspect that Mr.. LeBesque
set our magistrate, deputy sheriff, long
lost son, and happy father, a bad exam
pie, which it seems they followed, for
in certain room in the town of Ope-
lousas, they were all congregated until
the eve sma' hours" and before they
parted every one fancied he had lost a
son and was ready TO cry or laugh at a
minutes notice, and If they all did not
have a headache next day it was no
fault of the champagne and egg nogg.
MIR. LeBesque footed the bill and if you
don't believe us, call at No. 1877 Canal
street and ask him, or at 2O5 Port street,
New Orleans, and ask DR.. Toro.

calomel relieves "slAcK. DRAUGHT"


We are sorry to learn that the store
of S. r. Walker opposite the town of
Washington was burned to the ground
On last Wednesday night. It was GER
ralnly the work ct an ineendiary, as
the store had been closed on the Tues
day and Wednesday previous to the
burning, owing to the illness and death
OF Ar. Walkers youngest child. Mr..
Walker came to Opelousas on Wed
nesday evening to attend Che funeral OF
his child, and did not return until s
o'clock that night. AS he passed the
store, which is issolated from every
other building, he noticed no light or
fire OF any kind about the building.
Mr.. John Mudd, his clerk, was with
him. No one was sleeping in the store
at the time Of the fire. Mr.. Walker
was reused from his bed about II o'clock
or 70 o'clock, by messenger sent from
Washington, to tell him his store was
on fire. Part of hi1 goods was saved
by the citizens of We .shington, and his
books and papersin his iron safe. There
was an insurance ON the building and
contents, which will cover about one
fourth the loss. Mr.. Walker has been
merchandising for but a short time and
his loss will be many, occurring at this
particular season Of the year. No clue
has yet been discogered, to the in
cenliary. f.

BODY SNATCHING.
A Scientific Method by which
GhOuls bring the subject from
the Grave.

A Scientific Method by which
GhOuls bring the subject from
the Crave.
[Erie (Pa.) Herald.]
When a new disease breaks out and
the physician wants subject, he simply
has to make his wish known to these
fellows. A person who knows all about
the business states that when the subject
wanted has been discovered in the city
of the dead. then the rod used by the
profession is brought forth and is forced
down in the earth to the distance of six
or seven feet until it touches the coffin,
when, if it penetrates the wood, it is
withdrawn, enabling them to discover
the Kind of wood from which the coffin
was manufactured.
After this bit Of experimenting the
search is resumed until the subject
sought for is obtained. Here the in
genuity of the resurrectionist is dis
covered. He doesn't start digging per-
pendicularly over the grave, but stand
ing back distance of ten or fifteen feet
he digs circular hole. He is well aware
from experience that graves are dug
from five to eight feet deep, and makes
his arithmetical calculations accordingly,
and he knows the exact distance from
measuring with his rod from the surface
to the top of the coffin. He then sets to
work to dig an inclined excavation to
the head Of the coffin sufficiently large
to permit the entrance Of his body. At
ter reaching the rough coffin a forcing bar
is used on the lid and sides which
prizes them apart sufficiently to
allow the bulk of the coffin to
pass forward. The casket is then oper-
ated upon in similar manner. The
most CHASTITY part of the performance
follows, and this is where the body
snatcher imbeds an iron hook in the
mouth, and the body is drawn to the
opening of the inclosure by means Of a
rope attached to the limbs. The idea is
frightful, but men of this class 60 about
their work as unconcerned as if they
were partaking Of their daily rations
When the white-robed figure reaches thu
mouth Of the inclined plane, it is dis
robed and the clothing is placed back il
the coffin, to obviate conviction of thu
conspirators on the charge of larceny
The body after being disrobed is placet
in sack, or in other clothing provided
for the occasion, after which the trace
of the visit are covered up and the bod!
of the victim is then carried to con
veyance close at hand, after which it i
taken to one of the medical colleges ant
turned over to the contractors.

Hard Luck for n Baby.
Bangor (Me. J News.l

There is a child in Bangor that has
quite an eyentful history, although still
less than five years old. Some two years
ago, while painters were at work in the
house, the little one swallowed some Of
the paint, but physician was called, |,
who succeeded in remedying the evil.
Not long after this the child tried some
laudanum which was left in bottle
within reach, and again the physician
repaired the evil Its next exploit was
near Belfast during visit, at which
time kernel of corn was introduced into
the nostril, and it was necessary to ride
nine miles in order to get a physician tt
extract it.

An application for an extra allowance
has been made in the suit brought by
Mrs. Ella B. Washington to recover from
Walter s. Church, real estate dealer,

him as her attorney. Mrs. Washington
is the widow of Louis w. Washington,

that he had paid over to her only
$4,000 of the money received from the
State, and recently Ex-Congressman
Veeder, who was appointed referee, re-
ported that $4,000 was due Church for
hissersices, and the balance $4,000
should be paid to Mrs. Washington.
The articles are as follows: Thesword

Of snow yesterday, and heavy north wind.
Every cut on the road west OF Sleepy Eye
Is full OF snow, and trains to-day were all
abandoned. There has been no attempt
for several days 10 run trains on the Chi.
cago and Dakota road, or on the Winona
and st. Peter road west OF Candy. It has
been week since train went TO Water
town. All stations west OF Canby are re.
ported most out Of fuel, and unless coal
and wood arrive in a day or two suffer-
ing must ensue. Watertown is reported
as only having two cars Of coal and a
few cords OF wood. The towns OF Gary
and Goodwin are In an equally bad condi-
ton. they having failed to lay in a suff-
cient supply of fuel before getting snow
bound. Strenuous efforts have been and
are being made 10 open the road. The in
tense cold, however, makes IL extremely
difficult TO keep the engines alive and in
running order. The snow-plougbs that
have been out have failed TO accomplish
much on account OF the snow being COM
pact and bard. Some OF the drifts are from
1000 to 900 feet long, and between eight
and twelve feet deep. The prospect for an
early resumption Of business is, TO say the
least, not very encouraging. The ther-

The audience was fine one. All the
dres s.circle seats and boxes were taken and
the parquette and orchestra were we'll filed.
The occupants OF the galleries, il not very
numerous were decidedly appreciative.
The play is one which furnishes fine scope
for the strong grasp and vigorous acting in
which Mr.. Mccullough excels. And yet
the tenderness OF the father and the devo-
ltion OF pure patriot were exquisiteiy p0r-
trayed, while IN those scenes where passion
and madness have control OF the noble soul
he rose to the full demand for fire and
frenzy.
Mr.. Warde, already favorabIy known to
our people, played Icilius with intelligence
and ease.
Miss Kate Forsyth, the Virginia, is lady
OF handsome face and form and melodious
voice, and was as artess and tender as the
occasion demanded.
The company is very fair. There certain
ly was no great cause for complaint against
any OF them last night. Their soldiers and
mob were, however, rather scant, and no
effort was made to supplement from outside
sources the meagre stage-furniture.
