and ravenOus men than the factors of
New Orleans, fact which we submit
Tor approval to the planters. If they
squeeze the life blood out Of the cotton
raiser is it surprising to hear that they
are attempting to do the same thing
with those people who haul, weigh,
mark and store it? But the latter par
ties won't submit to it, at least they are
trying to eradicate the squeezing pro-
pensities out of the blood suckers. As
we said before it will be vain attempt.
Like the cotton raisers they should
make the most of it and go to work or
"mOve on" and let others try it for
awhile. We believe from what we
know and saw that the working men of
New Orleans are entitled to commend
alton for the peaceful and law abiding
manner in which they have been striv-
ing. to obtain an increase of wages for
their labor. 1t is now nearly two weeks
since the cotton people have inaugu-
rated their strike, and although they
had and have the opportunity to in
timidate and buldoze those who had
taken their place and thus probably
force their employers to accede to
their demands, yet they have as a body
demeaned themselves within the
bounds of the law and are now await
ing the result Of their exemplary con-
duct. The different labor organiza-
tions of New Orleans are probably the
best disciplined bodies of men in the
country, a fact which explains the ab-
Sence OF riot in New Orleans, just
now. In unity there is strength, but
capital is stronger than numbers. How
ever, it the cotton workmen of New
Orleans keep together and show the op-
position solid frOnt-a peaceful antag
onism for one week more, victory will
perch upon their banners and the day
will be theirs.
Trichinae in hogs is developing slow
ly but surely in tie swine slaughtered
in New Orleans. Accounts Of micro
scopic examinations made by DR.. Payne
have already been commented upon in
the columns of the Democrat. The
latest examination made in the month
OF August discleses the alarming fact
that ten hogs sold for food were found
infected with trichinae, The diseased
pigs were received from St. Louis and
DR.. Payne declares that
trichinaelis infectious and that one dis
eased hog can poison whole hog pen.
Another Burnside claimant has been
heard from and is no less parsonage
than John Burnside, not the dead mil
lionaire, for he is gone forever, but an
other John Burnside who halls from
New York. This one says that he is
brother OF the dead millionaire whom
he has not seen since forty years. He
prays to be recognized as the million
aires brother.
Since writing up the labor strike, the
reweighers and markers have
given up the fight and have gone to
work. The laborer alone remains to
bear the brunt Of the strike.

The Mid-LOuisiana Again.
Baton Rouge Capitolian.]


Since the publication OF "Onward's"
communication in our Tuesdays edi-
ton, we have received information
tai can be obtained to build the pro-
from a point on the Sabine, in Calca-
sieu, thence through Opelousas and
Baton Rouge to PontchatOula, continu-
ing through St. Tammany to Bay St.
Louis, there connecting with the Mo-
bile road in the manner heretofore des-
cribed. The route would be shorter by
at least fifty miles between Opelousas
and New Orleans than by the Morgan
line. It would be in effect central
Texas short line for both Mobile and
New Orleans, offering no engineering
difficulties OF any consequence.
A number OF gentlemen of this city
and vicinity, who are desirous to aid in
the development of it's growth and
prosperity are about to organize com
pany, with headquarters here, for the
object of forming the basis upon which
the success of the undertaking must
necessarily rest.
They propose to visit the people re-
siding along the proposed route, to OBJ
tain rights of way, privileges and fran
chises and such donations of land and
subscriptions as are necessary to in
duce the investment Of the necessary
capital in the construction bonds which
they would place on the market with
every prospect of success, should they
meet with the encouragement expected.
We doubt not that the journals of OPP
elousas, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge,
Pontchatoula, Greensburg, Covington
tant matter to their parishioners, in
order that they may express their views
and be ready to meet and confer with
the earnest and active representatives
Of the Mid Louisiana Railway, who will
shortly visit them.
Will not our confreres aid us in call
ing at once the attention of the people
interested in the success of the line we
have described.

A Lady's Pet Fishes.


There lives in Sandwich, Mass, on
the borders of one of the most charm
ing lakes in America, Mrs. f. III Bur-
CESS. 1t has been her custom once or
twice day for quite period TO feed
the fish in this lake, and a few days
ago we CHANGED to be favored with an
invitation to witness this novel feast.
She first splashed the water with her
hand, when In moment there may be
seen approaching from every direction
hundreds of large sinners; then eels,
varying in size from one to about three
feet in length, may appear on the sur
face, ten, twenty, and thirty feet away,
their necks stretched apparently to see
whether it is friend or foe who is dis
turbing the waters. In less than three
minutes these various species had
collected directly before her, and as she
commenced to feed, the water
was fairly alive with them. They take
bread directly from her hands, and
turtles would allow her to take them
entirely out of the water, and while
she held them in one hand they would
eat with the greatest voracity from the
other. But the eels amused us most.
There was one she called Quinn,
measuring about three feet in length,
that repeatedly came to the surface,
and would glide back and forth through
her hands. and several times she lifted
him partially out of the water, but he
was careful to keep his head undsr.
He seemed to feel that she would take
no undue liberties with him so long as
his head was in its natural element,
but the moment he saw daylight he
would dart back as only an eel could.
Another small one about foot in
length, seemed to be particularly fond
of her caresses, and could be handled
about as she pleased, it beng under
stood that he was to remain under

A dramatic incident in a Troy court
room illustrates a topic worth under
standing by those interested in the
criminal reports. King and Hamilton,
two convicts in Dannemora prison,
quarreled, soon after the shooting of
President Garfield, over the fitness of
Vice President Arthur to succeed to the
Presidency. King became so much
excited that, when at length Hamilton
made some strong remark adverse to
the Vice President. King struck him
upon the head with an axe, and then
struck a second blow. Hamilton was
killed on the spot. King was brought
to trial for the murder. About an hour
and half only sufficed for the testi-
mony and arguments, and the jury
then retired to deliberate. They were
absent considerable time, and at
length returned and asked the Judge to
give explanations of the difference be-
tween first and second degrees of muir
der. This evinced, of course, that there
were members of the jury inclined to
pronounce the killing murder in the
second degree only. The punishment
of the first degree of murder is death;
of the second degree imprisonment for
life. Now the sentence under which
King was already imprisoned was to
imprisonment for life for previous
murder. Therefore verdict of guilty
of murder in the second degree would
have been of slight importance to him;
it could, at utmost, only ave destroyed
such hope as he might have OF receiv
ing a pardon from his first sentence.
AS the judge was beginning to answer
the question of the jury, the prisoner
started to his feet and interposed IN this
extraordinary protest:
"Your Honor and gentlemen of the
jury, this was not murder in the sec
ond degree 1t was a deliberate and
premeditated murder / know have
done wrong, that ought TO confess the
truth, and that ought to be hanged"
Here the prisoners counsel tried in vain
to silence him. "No," continued King,
81 have done wrong. 1t was my duty
to confess it. and cannot help doing
so. | cannot keep still. plead guilty
to murder in the first degree. 1t was
fifteen minutes from the time l struck
the first blow with the axe until struck
him the second time, and all this time
l kept thinking-I will finish this man.
If this is not premeditated murder,
what is? l have already killed two
men. What is my life to me? The
life of either of these two men whom ]
have killed is worth dozen of mine"
The judge, naturally enough, then
told the jury that after what the pris-
oner had said there was no necessity
for his explaining the distinction of
degrees. The jury retired again, but
soon returned, bringing the verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree,
and the prisoner was sentenced to be
hanged on the 4th of November next.
