Shreveport Standard: We learn from
q special to the Galveston News that
quite sensation was occassoned in our
neighboring city of Marshall. Texas. on
last Friday night, resulting from the
action of indignant citizens in defense
OF the moral reputation of the place. A
white man, who lives about eight miles
from town, and has an estimable and
good wife, far too pure and true for hIm,
has for many months past deserted his
wife and four or five children and
taken up with negro woman in
this city. His conduct became so fla.
grant and offensive that the public
opinion revolted, and on the night in
question some five or six young men
went to the house of his paramour and
took him ont, carrying him on the road
in the direction of home, stopped in the
woods and, after preparing him for the
work, stretched him across log and
gave him a 'lambasting" with green
sapplings While the law gives nc
sanction for the act, the feeling of the
entire community is that he deserved
the ehastisment received, aud that the
lesson will be salutary.

q Mania for Gold.

A dispatch from Youngstown, o.,
says: Jesse Baldwin, the old gentleman
who demanded and obtained gold for
$17, ,149 in government bonds from the
treasury department in Washington,
and was afterward put in charge Of
police-oflicer for safe keeping, is resi-
dent of this city. About three years
ago Baldwin was thrown from horse.
having his head injured. Previous to
this he was considered in every way
one Of cur brightest and intellectual
citizens. Since his injury he has had
mania for writing articles on finance,
and has secured the printing of these
articles in many first-class journals.
He has been until recently a heavy
dealer in coal and iron, and during the
war made a fortune. In all his deal
ings he has always demanded gold, and
would hound man day and night if
he was known to have a $40 gold piece.
1t is known that on one Of Baldwin's
farms, six miles from here, he has over
100000 in gold buried, and it is the
wonder of the people that he has not
been robbed or murdered at his cOun-
try residence years ago. Previous to
starting to Washington with his bonds,
he asked bank to give him gold for
them, and found that he could save "a
by going to Washington for the gold.
He returned safely with three sachels
full of gold pieces.

followed on both sides, as evenly as if
done by sculptor This curious feat
ure was produced by the action of the
water turning and turning these stones
in some recess in the rocks, with gray
ell for cutting substance.
About the places of burial in the
park are to be found rude specimens
of pottery. OF these the colonel has
several.
A small bottle which contained the
remains of "A lake trout attracted some
attention. The colonel explained that
the Yellowstone lake. which was once
filled with beautiful trout, has suffered
depletion by the ravages of a peculiar
worm. The specimen mentioned had
been partially eaten by one of these
worms, and fish and worm will be Civ
en- to Prof. S. f. Baird, the great pisci
culturist, for examination. Col Nor
ris also has some specimens of weeds
which were taken from the lake and
which contain small worms of the va
riety found in the trout. 1t is posi-
BILE that this offers an explanation of
the destruction of the iinny tribe.
That there are valuable mines in the
Yellowstone is evident from the speci-
mems of gold and silver quarts which
we saw. Carbonates also are found.
There are now on the way to Wash
ington twenty boxes of curiosities,
which are destined for the National
museum. Also a pulsating geyser,
containing seventeen cones, and which
weighs one thousand pounds. This
geyser was chiseled on the ground and
is preserved intact. 1t will be given
the post Of honor in the National mu'
scum. 1t is, perhaps, the first geyser
that was ever detached and removed.
1t is a beautiful thing, being about
Axe feet in size, and is enameled with
a pearly substance, which gives it a
lustrous appearance.
There have been about two thousand
tourists in the park this year, and
greater number is expected next year,
as those who went will advertise the
beauties of this wonderland far and
wide. 1t is proposed to build steam
boat for pleasuring on Yellowstone
lake. This lake is an inland sea and
has two hundred miles of shore line.
Steam saw-mills are also talked OF, and
the lumber thus obtained will enable
the erection Of suitable buildings,
something that is badly needed.
Col. Norris says that the people Of
Montana are anxious to annex the park
to their territory because of its valu-
able mineral deposits and the wealth
of its wonders. They are moving in
the matter and will leave nothing un-
done to help accomplishing their pur-
pose. But with all their striving, we
doubt if they can succeed. The park
is in Wyoming, and there it will re-
main.

1t is rumored here to-day that the Central

ton OF the ACCESSIBILITY OF putting a Repub-

that question In the affirmative, and will
nominate ticket with Mr.. Norman Smith,
Of Henrico county, at its head. Mr.. Smith
is an able and active Republican, who ae-
quired no little prominence In 1869. Should
this rumor be true Mr.. Smith will receive
the large Republican vote that will other

consultation with Mr.. Wickham, vlce-presi-

Robert Lamb, young man, was found
dead shot in the bTeast-near where he had

himself with a muSket, loaded with buck
shot, sixteen Of which entered his breast,
tearing his heart TO pieces. He is said to
have been disappointed IN some love matter,
and told his sweetheart II she did not 90
with him it would be the last she would see

put the gun between two rails, and cooking
it, pulled the trigger, killing himself in
