Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-08-25

The third morning had arrived, and
the brigand and chief stood before his
victim. But even as he approached her
side, wild shout broke the morning
stiffness. The shout was followed by
the report of farms. The brigands were
surrounded. With an oath tho, chief
sprang out to protect his camp. Fierce
and deadly was the fight that ensued.
No quarter was asked or given. In fif-
teen minutes the encounter was over,
and nearly all the seventy brigands
were. killed a few, among whom was
the leader, were wounded and captured.
Early in this fight Charles had set out
and borne Helen to a place of safety.
When the fight was over, the traitor
wife of the brigand chief had disap-
peared: After long rest the troops
took their way back to town, bearing
in their midst their wounded prisoners.
Amid the darkness of the following
night Giuseppe opposite, aided by his
wife, effected his escape. =
Three months later Charles and Helen
were married.

scheme is to be revived. Demands are to be
made in Europe for an instant recognition Of
Hawaiian Primacy there This section Of the
scheme will be ably directed from the Palace
Of the Caesars. The recent conferences be-
tween the crowned heads of that Continent
lead US TO believe that they are alive to the
dangers of the situation. In this part Of the
on an extended line.
Some years ago South Sea Islander at
tempted, with thieving purpose, to extract,
with his fingers, ring bolt ont of a ship. As
tie bolt was three inches in diameter, ran
through ten inches Of timber, and had screw
nut on the inside, his success was not com
plete. A vigilant boa,swain calmly regard e
ing him from the gangway. soothngly re-
marked "Pull away old Pagan. Bring your
grub and cit down to it for a thousand years,
if you like" No one will deny that this per-
severing savage was entitled to great credit
for his high, though mistaken, effort. Nor
should we fail to exprcs. our heartfelt admir-
a.ion at the grand effort Of the remaining
statesman to establish Primacy." We shall
not regret it, if lie shall bring Bakers Island
with it's vast resources of wealth and popula-
ton into the Primacy system. If he should
even conclude to reside there, and assume all
tho executive duties Of the Empire there con-
csntratcd, we would stfc our emotions, and
exclaim in sorrow, "he has left his country,
for his country's good ~ We also strongy
recommend that box be placed on the corner
Of King aud Fort Streets labelled Contribu-
tions for Prmacy in the Pacific" An en-
thusiastic adnirer of the scheme, who is now
groaning under his wealth, has deliberately
announced his intention to raslly invest two
"bits," If he can find n responsible party to
take it. Will our readers contribute !?

A Word to Our Merchants.
fShreyepOrt Standard. |

Every now and then it becomes our
duty to call the attention of our mer-
chants to catch penny advertising
schemes COTTON up by strangers who
visit our city. Great representations
are made by the getters-up OF these
schemes and oftentimes the unwary are
taken in. Only a short time ago our
citizens were gulled for a large amount
by putting their advertisements i'll IL
sheet which the agent represented
would be mammoth and give full his
tory of our city and parish, together
with other valuable information. w hat
was the result ? Our merchants gave
their orders, the agent drew on them
through the banks for the amount, and
when the paper (Which was printed In IL
distant city) reached them 1t proved to
be and insi gniticant affair with Il short
article, clipped from a railroad advert
sing bill, purpOrting to give history OF
Shreveport. Another scheme is to get
ND advertising sheets i'll towns and mail
them to surrounding pOstotflces with Il
request that the postmaSterS deliver
them. The result OF this Is generally
that the pOstmaSters are not PAID To dis
tribute advertisements and the pack
ages find their way into the waste bas-
kets and are either burned or sold tor
waste paper. Now, we have two papers
in Shreveport, both of them battling
for the interests of the city Oh all oc-
casions, and it behooves our merchants
to sustain them in preference to catch
penny arrangements. Botn papers
employ large forces of hands and thcll
earnings are spent III our midst, and
furthermore they are Legitimate Journals
having large subscription lists Ill the
surrounding country, and when they
are sent to the postotfices 1t is the duty
of the postmasters to deliver them, and
not their pleasure. Referring To the
above we were informed yesterday that
party had arrived in town and was
getting up an advertising scheme. Ii
we are correctly informed, we will give
the same space in the Standard one
week for the amount he proposes to put
it on his sheet one time. 1t would be
we'll for our merchants to give this
matter their earnest attention, and give
our home papers their patronage.
St. Landry democrat., 1881-05-07

From across the ocean comes to us a
a pitiful account of the terror OF
crowned heads since the assassination
of the Emperor Of Russia. The Car
is literally confined to his palace. so
vehement are the threats made against
his life, and the poor Czarina has had
commissions, from the hourly terror OF
these mcnaces. The Queen of England
dares not venture abroad withouta thou
sand precautions being taken to guard
the railroads and streets from some
lurking assassin or death missile. Al
together uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown" although that nnlucky
head is often only figure piece, a
scape goat, whilst the real enemies OF
the people, the originators OF hard laws,
and oppressive measures, generally
escape unscathed. The king slayers are
az well aware Of that fact as any one
else, but il crown was placed Ga the
head of an iron figure they would shat
ter it all the same. 1t is the emblem
of an authority which the popular Opln.
ion had judged and condemned, and
whose days are numbered.
