they were now both anxious to re-
turn, but as there was no help for IT
they put the best face on the matter
they could. Fortunately they found
a missionary aboard who was going
ont to educate the taste Of the hea'
tbens for better food than they were
accustomed to having, and as there
was 40 law forbidding it on the high
seas of the Southern hemisphere nor
prescribing form of license, they
were married by the missionary ana
made up their minds to take a ratn-
err more extensive bridal tour than
they desired, considering the trials
and tribulations they had already
gone through.
They finally got back home with.
out other accident or incident and
found that the cruel p a.r-i-e-n-t had
died of grief during their absence.
AS slight mark of his forgiveness
he had left a will bequeathing his
entire fortune to Araminta, and they
took up their abode in his seventeen
story palace. Algernon's first care
was to have the Nubian llont
slaughtered, and the last l heard o
them he was engaged in the AT
tempt to spend the old mans money
and she was laying in supply o
soothing syrup.

DASTARDLY DEED.

On last Monday night as three
gentlemen, named Stokes, Roberts
and Estess, were riding along the
road near Lamothe's bridge, about
two miles above the store of Simon
We'll, on Bayou Rapides, an individ-
ual by the name of Horn rode up on
the party, and in a very rough man
ner addressed himself to the three.
He then asked the name of the man
on the OK wagon, Roberts, which
was given him. after which he in
ouired of Estess, riding on the oppo-
site side of the wagon, his name,
to which the latter gentleman gave
prompt and polite reply. Horn on
learning Estess' name spoke in the
following manner to him:
give been locking for you; l want
you to pay me the money you owe
my father, or you s-n of b-h
1 will kill you; I've rode thousand
miles to catch you"
Estes somewhat alarmed, besides
not being used to such talk said:
.srve only got Is cents and I'm
not armed; shoot me ifyou WILL"
Upon the reply Of Estess, Horn
drew his revolver and fired twice at
Estess, the balls striking him in the
face and abdomen. Stokes then In
: terfered and appealed to Horn to not
, kill Estess, upon which Horn free
, and stuck him in the right side, be
low the nipple. Stokes then walked
t over to his wagon and reached hi

unexpected demise.
Her talents were of high order,
her genius was original and she
welded a trenchant pen always IN
the advocacy of the right and con
demnatioa of the wrong. Her con
ception of the ludicrous was keen
but she was averse to giving pall
and in her criticisms she never Tor
got to "temper justice with mercy.

"A GENIUS in Maryland has in

upon the matter as huge practical

The plaintiff was a lawyer, and al

claimed. These judgments were al
against responsible men, and amour

COUNTY SUIT. PARISH, of Marion
county, has issued catalogue ofthe
schools of that county, something af-
ter the style of Mr.. Wade's catalogue,
though not so extensive as tie latter.
We endorse the idea of publishing
catalogues and believe it would be of
advantage to the schools if it was
generally adopted. Any informa-
ton that any one would want con
corning the schools could readily be
found and the work of each particu-
lar school could be ascertained by
the teachers of every other school in
the county. BY scrutinizing each
others work, the teachers would, no
doubt, continually gather new ideas
and would improve the schools.
