STEPHEN ALIENS POCKET PIECE A friend
 from Lawrence sent us a copy of the following
 golden rules, with a.request tprepublish them
 A few years ago an extended circulstion was
 iyen them in the Eastern papers A copy
 was found in the pockes s-book of one of New W
 York's most respected citizens who, in the
 terrible disaster which occurred to the North
 River steamer "Henry Clay" was drowned
 Stephen Allen was formerly Mayor of the city A man of the purest character, and loved and esteemed by all When the intelligence reached the city that Stephen Allen was among the numerous victims who perished, the citizens of New York felt that good man was gone.
 We commend these golden words to all our readers. Do as Mir. Allen did-cut them out
 let them be indelibly graven on your hearts.
 Keep good company or none. Never be idle. If your hands can't be usefully employ ed. attend to the cultivation of yOur mind Always speak the truth Make few promises. Live up to your engagements. Keep your own secrets, if you have any. When you speak to a person, look him in the face. Good company and conversation are the very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else. Your character cannot be essentially in- jured except by your own acts. If any one
 speaks evil of you let go!T fiff be gothat no Oue SfaH Uel1cSc ultH. q DTlukAQ hluN W IutOA- icating liquors. EYerlive (misfoaupes except ed) within your income When you retire to
 bed, think lover what you haze kbeen doing
 during the day. Make no haste to be rich, if
 you would prosper. Small and steady gains
 give competency with tranquility of mind
 Never play at any game of chance Avoid temptation, though you may not withstand it.
 Earn money before you spend it. Never run
 in debt unless you can see a way to get out again. Never borrow if you can possibly
 avoid it. Do not marry until you are able to support wife. Never speak evil of any one: Be just before you are generous. Keep your self innocent ,gffs yon HlTduid heNappy ESave
 when you ares young fo spend when you are old. Read over the above maxlms at least
 once week.

NICE WEATHER.--On the 18th inst,
in several Northern cities, the Their
nometer marked 90 to 9s degrees,
and there were many cases of sunstroke,
some OF them proving fatal. In Rhode
Island the intense heat expanded the
rails of the Providence and Worcester
railway four inches at the railroad
bridge, and consequently trains could
not pass until the rails were cooled BY
water. One OF these days our Nsrth-
em cousins will come South to spend

New ORLEANS, May l4.--The Dem
oerat's Little Rock special says Gov.
Overton, of Chickasaw Nation, has
gathered together an army of three
hundred men, and has issued an order
to the effect that Texas cattle raisers
and white men generally must leave
the country before June LIST, or force
will be used. A similar situation pre-
walls in the Choetaw Nation. Governor
MeCurten has instructed the sheriffs
to Immediately organize and arm the
militia companies to assist in driving
out the whites. The trouble in the
Chickasaw Nation is said to have
grown out of the refusal of Texans to
pay more than l21 cents per head for
grazing cattle therein. Governor Over
ton demanded 25 cents per head. In
the Cheetaw Nation, trouble is chiefly
in regard to the law allowing white
men to live in that country, Indians
holding, that nearly all of the white
population aae there without proper
authority. a serious conflict between
the whites and Indians is feared.

with several members of the posse, on
various subjects, without manifesting
the slightest trace of emotion at the
death of their father. The coroner's
inquest was held the same evening,
and their verdict fully justified the
sheriff and his posse.
Stephens made no secret of his
presence in Vernon parish, went about
there openly, and was actually about
to establish clog ranch" at the place
where he was killed. His death has
undoubtedly saved other lives, and it
is earnestly hoped that his sons will
not follow his example, but will
the laws of the land.

however, raised the river sufficiently

Dull TlMEs.-We hear some com
plant in town that mercantile business
is extremely dull, and the following,
from our esteemed contemporary the
Marksville Bulletin, is fair sample of
similar complaints from other par
isles:
Marksville is dull. No money, but
little credit. and consequently hardly
any business transacted. Everybody
is waiting for more prosperous times"
Per contra, the lumber business is
booming, and the steam rice mill of
Jacob Ryan d Sons will probably be
kept busy until the rice crop of the
present year is nearly ready for harvest.
