A Well Always Full Of Ice.

About half mile from this
place is the natural ice we'll. On
visiting it We found a shaft
about twenty feet deep, and We
could plaiuly see ice in it. We
then visited shaft a few feet
distant, aud immediately upon
entering it q cloud OF steam,
caused by the cold air coming in
contact with our heated bodis s.
rushed forth. This shaft was
excavated for the purpose OF
ascertaiuing if possible the cause
of the ice forming lu the we'll,
some of the inhabitants believing
in the theory Of large cave be-
ing connected with it. After
reaching the depth of 100 feet
without result, drifting was aban-
doued. Before the shaft was
made, it is claimed that the we'll
filled with ice to six feet of the
Top. A thermometer marked 30
degrees Fahrenheit. About six
feet back from the mouth of the
tunnel the foor and sides are in
many places covered with ice.
A strong current Of air constantly
flows from the excavation that is
very perceptible one hundred
feet distant. With the ther-
mometer ct 80 degrees, an at
mosphere below the freezing
point is pleasant to contemplate.

mo, and the Jones girls were
all rugged out in their yellow silks
made over; you would have died
laughing to have seen them.
Such taste as these girls have;
and the minister gave out that
the Dorcas Society will meet at
Sister Jones residence-that old
poky place."
"It seems you didn't hear much
of the sermon"
"Well, I'm sure its better to go
to church, If you don't hear the
sermon, than to stay at home
and read the papers; and oh.
Harry the new minister has q
lovely voice; it nearly puts me to
sleep. Aud did I tell you that
the Rieh's are home from Europe
and Mrs. Rich had a real camei's
hair shawl on, and it didn't look
like anything on her ?"

Harry thought of several things.
and his wife was busy contem-
plating the sky or view, when she
suddenly exclaimed;

heavy! On dear what world

IS 1T A CRIME2
The Minden Democrat publishes

The Minden Democrat publishes
an article on the above heading
with the sentiment Of which we
fully concur. Is it crime for the
husband, brother or father to de-
fend the honor of the weak and
helpless female, members OF their
families of whom nature has made
them the guardians aud protectors.
The pronounced sentiment OF the
Southern people has answered this
question emphatically in the mega
tive. Popular feeling is stronger
than the seal of the statute books.
The letter of the law is disregarded,
and the natural instinct Of justice
implanted in our bosoms, rises
above and finds in the absolute es-
sence of all justice complete JUS
tification and vindication OF the
man who slays another in defense
of the honor of female member OF
his family. Among the chivalry OF
true Southern manhood, man
hood which holds the person OF
their females as sacred, the jury is
not to be found that will convict
the outraged husband, brother or
father who slays q seducer. Is it a
crime? Then. are the noblest and
most beautiful traits Of our being
criminal-the tender and sacred
love in which we hold the name Of
our pure and noble women, and
which prompts us to defend their
honor by staying their seducer, is
all wrong and should not be cher
ished for a moment.
The man that comes into the cir
Gle of . peaceful, happy home,
gains the love and confidence Of 9
young and innocent girl, and then
by the meanest and basest act
which depraved nature is capable
of, destroys the happiness Of that
home, clouds a young and hopeful
life with shame and sorrow, inficts
a sting which is living death and
turns the currents Of the pure and
noble affections Of trusting and
confding womanhood into scorch-
ing and blasting remorse which
burns life into prolonged agony
and renders existence misery, de.
serves to meet his fate at the muz-
zle'of a pistol or shot gun while
the husband, brother or father who
has been thus forced to defend the
honor Of those whom God has com
mitted to his charge, should and
will receive the approval and sym
pathy of all brave, generous ano
noble men. It is insulting to the
sense of justice cherished in the
bosom of true manhood to talk o1
Furnishing such a man. The jury,
that would under such circum.
stances convict Of murder, shoulc
90 down to oblivion covered witt
infamy and their names become {
loathing and byword. When
man under such circumstances
comes before his countrymen lei
them vindicate him and let him &c
with his motives and his purposes
vindicated, and with no stigma OF
reprcach resting upon his name.
We have no hesitancy IN saying
that were we on the jury in such {
case that we would sit there unit
we absolutely perished with old ags
before we would find the slayer o.
a seducer guilty of any crime, and
how any man that has single fe'
male relative could do otherwise il
more than we can comprehend

A correspondent of the Claiborne
Guardian writes the following
about Blanchard Springs in I'm
ion county, Ark:
''These springs were discovered
80 years ago by one Mr.. Blanchard.
Being at time when mineral wa
ters were decried by the medical
profession, and receiving no en-
couragement, he abandoned his i'm
provements and left for Texas.
Recently the springs have c,me
into notice again. The eyes of the
profession have been opened to the
fact that many diseases to which
the human family are addicted have
been cured by these waters, and
the thing is changed. Hundreds
have already visited the springs,
and some have been entirely cured,
,, and all1cs.s all benefited. Gntane-
Gus affections are ALL cured by
bathing in what is known as the
Zinc spring. There has never been
any correct analysis of any of the
waters, but they are all widely diff
ferent, possessing sulphur, arsenic,
zinc, iron, &c. Buildings are 60
ing up rapidly, and it is believed
that by another season accommo.
dations of every kind will be in
readiness. DR.. Tabor has an In.
valids Hotel in course of construc'
ton that will be very commodious.
and will accommodate great many
sufferers.
"People from various portions Of
North Louisiana and Southern Ar
kansas, of the best society, are in
yesting in lots there, and every
thing bids fair for the rapid up
building of a nice city. The coun
try round about the springs is pro
ductive and can be bought cheaE

the house. The negro woman who
lived in the house had gone to
