St. Joseph journal.

On Saturday night last negro rouster;
who had been at work on a neighboring
plantation for a short time previous,
shot and killed another negro, Henry
Johnson, at the store at L'Argent Land
ing. The dispute which led to the
killing of johnson, arose over a game of
cards aud involved small amount Of
money, some say fifteen cents. The
murderer made his escape, and the
Natchez Democrat says he crossed the
rlver on the ferry and was in that city
on Sunday. 1t is well for him that he
got away as speedily as he did, for we
learn the murder caused quite an ex-
element among the colored people Of
the neighborhood. and that number Of
armed men went in search Of hin.

Attempt to Murder the Jstlor and
Escape Of Prisoners.
Vienna Sentinel.

Three prisoners confined in the Bas-
trop jail, whose names are Kemp, Wood
and Tippet, made an attempt last week
to murder the TAILOR and effect their es-
cape. While the jailor was waiting for
the colored boy, who accompanied him
to she jail to carry the prisoners their
breakfast and clean up the cells, to fir
ish hisrounds one of the prisoners, Kemp,
claiming to be sick asked the jailor, Mr..
B. c. Hall, to examine his pulse. AsMr.
Hall was in the act of placing his hand
on the prisoners wrist, he was seized by
all of them and one of them, Tippet,
snatched the jailor's pistol and placing
the muzzle against his breast pulled the
trigger, but fortunately itwould not fire.
During the scramble Mr.. Hall released
himself and got behind the jail door and
skipped out. In the meantime the news
reached the streets and several parties
started to the assistance OF the .ailol
and soon were in hot pursuit Of the flee
ing criminals, all of whom were going in
seperate directions. Tippett was soon
overtaken, and turning, fired two shots
with the .jailor's pistol at his pnrsuers
without effect who in turn shot at him
twice with shot gun without harm to
him. When he saw that arrest was in.
evitable he cooked the pistol, placed the
muzzle to his head, fred 1t and fell
lifeless to the ground.
Tippet was under life sentence to the
penitentiary and had sworn he would

Wood was recaptured and again placed
in his cell, but Kemp made good his es
cape.

Instantly Killed.
Morgan City Review.

Israel DotsOn was shot and instantly
killed last Tuesday on the Excelsior
plantation in this parish by George Ash
ley. From the coroner's inquest we
obtain the following information rela-
tive thereto. Israel Dotson, on the morn
ing of the 18th inst, came to the Excelsior
plantation from an adjoining place and
sent word to Robert Ashley, who was
out in the field, to come to him, as he
wanted to have some talk with him in
regard to him and his son, George, COM
ing to where he lived aud moving his
wife away without his consent first had
and obtained. One word led to another,
until Israel Dotson struck at Robert Ash
ley with Insist, whereupon Robert jump
ed from him and pulled out a large dirk
knife and cut at Israel with it, and run
from him, after which he drew his pis-
tol Oh Israel. Dotson ran into woman's
honse, who told Robert not to kill that
man in heryard. Robert demanded Israel
to come out, and as he started out of
the yard through the gate, Robert knock
ed him down with his fist, an as he was
getting up, Robert caught him by each
arm and held him while his son George
shot him twice, once in the neck and
once in the stomach-one of the three
shots missing him. Robert is now in
jail, bnt George has not yet been arrest
ed. Asa force of over a hundred men
are searching for him, it is presumed
that his capture will only be a question
of time.

The Value of a Good Character.

Character is that assemblage of moral
qualities that arc inwrought into the
very warp and woof of ones nature and
life, while reputation is garment thpt
public opinion enrobes one in, whether
he likes the style of il or not Character
Is the product of our own agency. Rep.
utation is the estimation in which we are
held by those with whom we associate.
Now, ono of the chief advantages of q
good character comes ir.u the fact that a
mans reputation largely reflects it. Men
do not generally believe this. They
think they can hide, for instance, u foul
leTrous heart under the garb of u polite
and attractive manner; that they can be
crooked and peryerse in their intentions
and yet pass for very good and proper
people; that they can form q reputation
for purity and virtue, when their imagi-
nation is 'sour mud swamp" as Car.
lyle would say, where all kinds of ugly,
loathsome desires and reptile thoughts
hatch, crawl, hiss and sting that, in
short, they can pass for ine.looking
solid trees, when they ere decayed and
hollow from the top to the bottom.
Never was there greater delusion.
No such masquerading of character ever
was successfully played, nor ever can be.
There never was man that lived five
years in community that was not gen.
orally appraised at all he was worth.
a bad character, pass itself off for a
good one As we'll might foul stencil
try and pass itself off as grateful per-
tnme. A bad character will stain
through all rosewood amiabilities, ma
hoganized manners, and show the vulgar
weed.
NO one ever did or could "steal the
livery of heaven to serve the devil ;n,"
but what it was soon discovered that the
garment did not fit him or he did not
know how to wear it naturally.
Reputat0a, then, is the shadow of
character, and the shadow cannot long
impose upon any one unless il is the
reflection of real aud substantial WORTH.
ness. And then, good moral character
is one that will always redeem q bad
reputation. It will sometimes happen
that men will get bad reputation when
they do not deserve Ii. There are feY
men who have driven their plans of BIZ.
siness and ambition over the rough
world and not got little splashed with

One glance ct the stage horse and dri-

marks of hard struggles they have had to
