Yesterday while the circus men were
loading cars at the railroad crossing
here, a party Of three men leaving

particular place. A fight ensued, in
which one of the showmen named
Campbell was seriously shot twice

here, has been arrested, charged with
the shooting.

We are happy to inform our pat
rons, and the reading public at large,
that the Faculty of the Louisiana
State University and Agricultural aud
Mechanical College, has very gener-
erously consented, ut our request, to
furnish the Weekly CArIToLrAN with
general and special items of educa-
tiOnal interest. This contribution
will hereafter appear under the head
ing, University Department, and as it
will contain much valuable informa-
ton in reference to our own Univer-
sity, and other similar institutions in
this country and Europe, as well as
practical hints to the farmer and me-
chanic, it will certainly constitute a
very interesting feature of our paper.
Col. VIM. Preston Johnston. is a
man of broad and liberal culture,
and the other members of the Faculty
are men of varied and extensive learn
ing in the several departments of ed
ucation /; and, while they may not
enter into an extended discussion Of
any subject. their abbreviated con-
tributions on the above mentioned
topics will be read with interest and
profit by all who feel an interest in
the progress of education, and in the
development Of the, resources of oul
State.

The laborers, white and black, in
st. Bernard parish, have struck for
higher wages, and become very disor-
derly. Gov. Wilt instructs the sher-
iff to use all legal means in his pow

which the militia will be called out.
We hardly think anything serious
will come Of the matter, as the firm

POINTS FROM PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA, April 18th, 1881.
Dear Cdpitoliaa.-Winter still lin
gers i'll the lap offspring, and the mod
crate quantity of the latter, dished up
by the weather folks leads me to re-
mark that a great many hereabouts,
would not be surprised at the predic-
ton OF snow storm for the coming
anniversary of our national indie
pendence.
All Of this, however, has very little
in common with the fact that the time
has come, when the good housewife
has a happy surprise for herhusband,
in the shape of housekeeping. No
woman can expect her better half to
be in Il prayelful mood when they
Jointly undertake to remove the WIN

bow gives way, hurting the boss to
the floor and covering him with SCOT.
NO woman can so far forget herself as
to eXclalm at that critical moment,
John are you not glad that you are
married ?" The joys of matrimony
are many, but cleaning house and
quoting the infant are not related
thereto.
Again dre the good people of the
Quaker City stirred up in regard to
another Charley Ross clue. He is
now supposed to be in England. Mr..
Ross, Senior, has spent sixty thousand
dollars in his efforts to find his kid
mapped son, but all to no purpose.
He has about given him up for dead.

A special dispatch to the N. O.
Times, from Washington City, con-
tains this surprising piece of infor-
nation: 1t will be remembered some
days ago Dawes told a terrible story
in the senate of an old man in Mis-
sissippi who had gone there, bought
- plantation, ETC., but because of his
being a Republican had his gin house.
burned and was compelled tie leave.
Senator George, of Mississippi, prompt
ly denied Dawes statement, and de-
fed him to name the man which,
however, he did not do. It'turns out
that the man lives in Louisiana, and
not Mississippi, and his name is
Charles Heath, who for several years
has been running a plantation in Lou
isiana, in Caldwell parish, about ten
miles below Columbia, on the Ouchita
river. 1t contains between 900 and
1000 acres. Heath and his brother,
the ey-mayOr Of New Orleans, pur-
chased it about thirteen years ago.
He tells an awful story Of the bull
doing method practiced; the Ku-
Klux outrages to intimidate negroes
and prevent the conduct OF private
business by other than methods die
tated by the natives. He says his
difficulties began with his decision to
employ negro overseers in place of
white men. After this he was fire.
quently threatened with death and
destruction OF his property because
he was "a Yankee The statement
was frequently made that Yankees
were not wanted there. He says his
buildings were finally fired last Christ
mas night. Negroes saw the fire, but
didn't dare to try to put it out because
they were afraid of being shot. The
whole place, with improvements,
which he says was worth $4,000,
was burned. Tools, wagons, grist-
mills, blacksmith shop and every
thing else. The Insurance was only
$4,000. A few hundred dollars worth
OF goods were saved. In the twenty
minutes there were to work in, his
people game very near being burned
alive.
Hcath further states that he called
on the parish authorities for protec-
ton, but failed. This is the story in
brief, and it has made decided SEN
sation. Louisiana Republicans from
that part of the State say they never
heard of Heath or of this purported
outrage. tits understood that Gov
ernor Wilt will be asked to have the
matter investigated in order that
facts may be brought in.
