The inhabitants of New York city are thor oughly and righteously mad over the course taken at Albany in the street cleaning mat ter. It is to be hoped that they will stay mad and show the bad politicians who have enraged them what the people can do.

Some of the members of the Rev. c. B. Ramsdell's Presbyterian church in Washing ton are showing the quality of their minds and hearts by worrying over the fact that he married Roman Catholic. The ceremony was performed in 1879, and, although not by priest, was subsequently, recognized by 8 Bishop, and his wife was restored to mem- bership in her church. The matter was be- fore the Presbytery last Wednesday and Dr. Ramsdell, in testifying, said that his wife WAS pursuing the path she thought Jed heav- onward, and he was doing the same. He would be grati6ed to have her join his church, but if she had other opinions he was not responsible for them; she was 8 good wife as well as good Christian, and was par ticular about the observance of family wor- ship at their own fireside.

Dastardly Assault.

About four o'clock Monday morning,
Mr.. - Meekins, who lives few miles
east of this city, was knocked down and
brutally beaten by two unknown men.
1t seems that he had several bales Of cot
ton in his gin and had just been out to
see if they were all safe, knowing that
thieves sometimes prowled about that
hour While returning to the house
the Williams rushed upon him, dealing
him stunning blow upon the back Of
the head with some blunt instrument.
The blow stunned him and he fell help
lessly to the ground, when the assault
was continued, his body being consid-
erably bruised and two ribs broken.
Mr.. Meekins is about seventy years
old, and the seriousness of his injuries
coupled with extreme age, render his
recovery a question of doubt. Though
conscious, he is in precarious condi-
ton. At the time of the assault it was
too dark for him to identify the PARTIES
whether white or black. 1t is believed
that the object was assassination, as
they left him for dead upon the ground,
and molested nothing on the premises.
Sheriff Bates and District Attorney
Buckner went out Tuesday to investi-
gate the matter, but ascertained moth
ing leading to the Identification of the
assassins. 1t is to be hoped they will
be discovered and receive commensurate
punishment.

JASTREMSKI-AsHTc,,y--At The residence
Of the brides father, in Shreveport, on Wednes
day, October 18th, 1881, BY Rev. DR.. Dalzill,
General LRoN JAsTREMsKI to MRS. SALLIE L.
ASHTON, daughter of Judge Land
The love-smitten General took his de-
parture from this city nearly two weeks
ago, after the delicate and embarrassing
announcement that a ssfond object"
awaited his coming in the distant land
Of North Louisiana, so famous for beau
tiful groves and charming glens. In this
delightful region the Queen Of Love
had pini0ned his heart and held it o
willing captive till coquetibh foibles
yielded and the responsive dart leap
ed from Cupid's bow amid the chimes
of fairy music. And now the electric
wire brings on it's tongue Of lightning
news of the final elimination of the
siege to the citadel of the fair and
accomplished lady's affections. The
''fond object" is his--and the much
dreaded "slip between the cup and the
lip" so incident to loves warfare, be-
comes a disarmed and powerless foe.
With his little pen" he wove the siIken
fabric, and now, like the great Caesar of
historic fame, he can exclaim: "Veni,
vidi, vici" The object Of his hearts
dearest affections rests confidingly upon
his manly bosom-fears charmed into
JOY, as doubt wings q confused flight
over the hills of oblivion.
We hope that the golden picture
which spans their hearts like beautiful
rainbow of love and bliss may linger on
till transmitted to immortality. May
roses ever bloom in the circle of their
union, hallowing it with beauty and
fragrance, to soften the stern realities
incident to life. w. A. LESUEUR.

BY reference to the advertisement of
Capt. VIM. Booth, it will be seen that
he has inst received fall stock of car
riage and buggy material, ready made
wheels, hubs, spokes, felloes, shafts.
etc, to which he invites the attention
ofbnyers. He proposes to sell them at
New Orleans prices No reasonable man
could ask ask any more and We feel that,
as home patronage strengthens and
bnilds up communities, our people will,
in the interest of onr common welfare,
give him living patronage. Mr.. Booth
can supply you either with the best
bone made article, or thercheapest the
market affords. We will say, however,
that home made goods are the best, and
viii give the greatest amount of service
and prove the most satisfactory.
