a STARTLING REPORT.

A ludicrOus incident occurred in
the Loaisiana House of Representa-
tives three weeks ago. While bill
to provide more stringent remedies to
suppress the practice Of carrying con-
cealed weapons was under considera-
ton, q revolver reposing in the hip
pocket Of Speaker Ogden submitted q
startling and unexpected report"
sendi,igsa quarter ounce Of cold lead
to Craze the Speakers calf-in fact,
to I" give his calf little lam" The
astoDisl,ed legislator hurried to his
private Office, and resolving himself
into q committee of the whole, was
relieved to find that the hole in his leg
could be repaired with plaster and
that in his pantaloons with patel, !;
and that, while his moral status as a
law maker had suffered severely from
an exposure at the fact that he was a
law breaker, his physical injuries
were not Of character to prevent
him from again taking his seat as the
presiding officer of the House. An in
formation was filed against Mr.. Ogden
BY District Attorney Finney, and the
l,apless Speaker will perhaps be af-
forded an excellent opportunity to set
an example for his constituents in the
way of cheerful obedience to the man
date Of judicial officer invested with
authority to iDfict penalties upon vi
olators of the law. It is urged in ex-i
tenuation of Speaker Ogden's misde-
meanor, that burglars had been prowl-
ing about his residence and he had
purchased the treacherous revolver on
the very day Of the accident, with the
intention Of taking it home and leav-
ing it there after the adjournment Of
the House until the following morn
ing. Considering the exalted position
and previous good character of the
culprit, we ask our readers to strain a
point and accept this explanation, or,
in case this process threatens injury
to their moral systems, to suspend
judgment in the case until the affair
blows over. ~ s.. s5.-.

EPIDEMIC. AMONG AN1MALs.-The
Columbia Herald aud Monroe Bulletin
report the prevalence Of an alarming
epidemic among horses and mules in
Caldwell and Onacl,ita parishes. The
animals are attacked and bitten by
myriads Of small flies, aud four fifths
of the unfortunate beasts die within
six hours Afterwards. In three days
from the time of the first deaths, lO2
horses and mules had died, within a
dozen miles from Columbia. It Is to
be hoped that this scoarge will not
visit other portions of the State OF
country, and that it may quickly dis
appear from the section now afflicted.

The Chinese New Departure.

NEw YoRK, August a. The Sun.
ON China's new departure, says: In
view Of the progress which We see had
been attained two years ago, the present
action Of the Chinese seems ineligible
enough. II the native merchants can
save money by forwarding goods under
their Gag to Toxic or Rangoon, why
should they not 60 further and send
their ships across the Pacific to San
Francisco. or through the Suez canal to
Marseillss and London Their recent
experience in the carrying trade along
more than 5000 miles OF the coast OF
Asia has demonstrated the perfect FEAST
bility OF their transporting Q large part
OF their own teas aud silks to foreign
countries In vessels owned aud operated
by native capitalists. Undoubtedly the
advent Of Chinese In the field OF trans.
oceanic transport will result In . signal
lowering OF freiRhts, but We do not i'm.
aRine that foreign consumers OF Chinese
staples will make any complaint on that
SCORE.
It is understood that o letter has been
addressed by the State Department to
the Chinese Minister, informing him
that II Satisfactory proof can be fur
nishsd to the President by the govern.
ment Of China that no discriminating
duties Of tonnage or imports are imposed
or levied In the posts OF China upon yes.

States will DO suspended or discontinued
30 far ss respects the vessels OF China
and the produce. manufactures or msr-
chandiss imported into the United States
from China, or from any other foreign

months before such assurances as are
requisite could be given, the Govern
msnt has no alternative but to impose
