Lake Providence Herald On Thurs
day night last, the watclman on the
warfboat discovered a negro man COM
ing on board the boat with u sack in his
hand, and enduring of the negro what
the sack contained, stated that he had
some tools in it. The Waterman told
him that he would get him box, which
he said would be more convenient and
appropriate to carry the tools in. and
proceeded to get one, but on his return
discovered that the man had made way
with the sack, and being asked what he
had done with it, denied having one, at
all The Waterman immediately made
search, and discovered the sack floating
in the river, in close proximity to the
wharfboat. The Waterman made the
negro bring the sack on the boat again,
when, instead Of containing tools, as
previously stated by the negro, it con
tanned large box Of snuff, which he
had, by some means or other distracted
from the wharf-boat. As soon as the
negro secured the sack from the water
ne made his escape, and has not since
been heard from.

The ACADIA IN THE PACIFIC. "A speck
in the ocean only is Pitcairn island, OF
the elsie of Content" as it is aptly call
ed. Although only six miles in circum-
ference, it is inhabited by 96 of the hap
piest people in the world. The island is
situated in delightful climate about g.
900 miles west of the northern coast of
South America. All the tropical fruits
grow there in abundance. The inhabit-
ants form an English colony, and live a
simple, happy life, undisturbed by the
strife of the world around them. Money
is practically unknown among them.
The one magistrate on the island has a
sinccure, for there are no disputes and
awlessness is unknown. Each man has
his own house and land. The life is
oommunistic in way, for all are socially
equal and share their goods with each
other when one becomes needy. Shoes
are seldom worn by the women. The
children, when only few years old, learn
to swim, and tumble around in the break
ers without fear or danger. The people
are religious, and worship in a little
church, some of their number reading the
service of the church of England and
preaching every Sunday. They are zeal
Gus in succoring shipwrecked sailors, and
seem. on the whole, to lead an idle life
of quiet and contentment.
