Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull.

Buffalo Bill Hon. W. +. Cody, }
the renowned scout and actor, has
made decided hit for the coming
theatrical season by employing the
celebrated Sitting Bull (the Indian
chief who slew Custer and his COM
mand on the Little Big HORNY as
one of his chief attractions. Buffalo
Bills success as au actor adds an
additional charm to the romance OF
his life as the greatest of all living
scouts and plainsmer. The His
torical Publishing Company, st.
Louis, have issued a life of this re-
markable man, whose fame is even
greater than that of Daniel Boone
or Davey Crockett. embracing also
the lives of Wild Bill, California
Joe, Texas Jack, Kit Carson and
other great Indian lighters. 1t is a
book Of wild life on the plains, and
must meet with great popularity.
The name of the author, Mr.. J. w.
Buel, is host within itself. Per-
sons desiring agencies will find the
advertisement in this paper.

THE COMET.

Some newspapers are publishing
sou1-stirring stories about the great
comet now visible in the E1st. and
what dire results would happen in
the event that it should come in
contact with the earth O. the sun.
They seem to forget that there have
been comets in che sky ever since
the world was made and pro-
nounced good job. Ia our hum
BILE opinion the present comet will
perhaps continue to shine little
while longer. and then quietly fzzle
ont, jusg tue same as thousands
of other good comets have done.
and As thousands more will do, be-
tween now and the day of iudg-
ment.

LOSS OF THE R. E. LEE.

The magnificent river steamer r.
E. Lee was totally destroyed by
fire last Saturday morning, at half
past 3 o'clock, about 20 miles south
of Vicksburg. The fire originated
in the pastry room, and in a few
minutes the entire boat was in
flames. As soon as the fire vas dis
covered the pilot ran the boat to
the shore, and those inward of the
flames made their escape. But the
passengers in the back part of the
boat were compelled to Jump into
the river. About 81 lives were
lost. The boat had 563 bales of
cotton aboard, besides lot of mis-
cellaneous freight. all Of which
was destroyed. The Lee had been
laid up for FIVE months, during
which time she was thoroughly
oyerhauled and freshly painted, and
this vas her first trip of the season,
and also her first trip since the
death of her former owner and cap
tain, john ". Cannon. The Lee
was valued at $4,000 and insured
for $40, coo, mostly in New Orleans
companies.

Below we publish The resolution
adopted by the Alexandria Conven-
:ion, in regard to Congressional APP
portionment in the future:
Resolved, That in view OF the
unanilnity of sentiment prevailing
In the convention, it Is deemed un-
necessary to change the apportion-
ment agreed upon by the Congress
siunal Executive Committee, but 1t
is the sense of this convention that
future appointments in our Con-
gressional Convention should be
made upon the votes cast for Con-
gresham at the last congressional
election preceding the holding OF
the convention.
According to the present appor-
tionmeut, one delegate will be al
lowed from every parish, in the
next Congressional Convention, for
every 200 votes Cast. 1t is there
fore highly important. that a full
vote be cast in every parish at the
coming election. If every Demo
cratic voter had performed his duty
at the last Congressional election,
st. Tamnany would have been en-
titled to at least four delegates in
stead of two, in the late convention,
and the number from the Florida
parishes would have been more than
doubled. While it may not re-
quire full vote to elect Gen. Her
ron as our Congressman, still it Is
necessary, in order to secure for us
proper representation in TIE next
convention, that the largest posi-
BILE number of votes be cast at the
coming election. Let every man
do his duty, therefore, on the It'll
of November. and We will elect our
candidate by an overwhelming ma
jority, and at the same time regain
our lost prestige in future nomip-
ating conventions.

A CURIOSITY.

A singular curiosity in the shape
OF an ear of CO..: was sent us this
week from Boutte station. 1t con-
sists of an ear OF corn Of the usual
size, surrounded by cluster of 13
smaller ears. The smaller ears are
fiat on the side next to the larger
one, but are of the regular shape
on the outer side, and abou: two
thirds as long ms the main ear.
This freak of nature comes from Mr..
E. B. Tinney's place, about two
miles back of Boutte. on the Mag
nolia ridge.-&. Charles Herald.
We have an ear of corn in the
FARMER office, or rather five ears, all
in one shuck and grown from pne
stem. 1t was raised on hIr. Pages
place, about three miles from Cow
ington, and is quite q curiosity.
As to the big ear with IS little ones,
which the Herald speaks of, We
think it is o very plausible story,
and We don't doubt it, because
we think It is possible that there is
a slight possibility of there being
some possible truth in it, notwith-
standing it was published in the
Herald.

Poisonous Book Covers.

The use OF poisonous dyes to color
the covers Of books is happily not a
common practice. Yet book publishers
are occasionally careless about the mat.
erials used in coloring their books.
Lately child, while playing with some
water.color paints, looked about Tor a
palette, and seized a small book-at
tracted by the bright green colors OF its
cover. After mixing the paints on the
cover for some time, he was suddenly
taken with commissions. Physicians
who were hastily summoned declared
that no had been poisoned. They adj
ministered antidotes, but the child went
in,o CONFUSION after oonvulsion, and it
was only after three days ince .sant labor
that the physicians saved his life. The
child's parents afterward had an investi-
cation made Of the manner in which it
had been poisoned. 1t was discovered
that the dye with which the brightly
cololed book was covered contained the
poison. In wetting the paints on the
book. cover, the child had innocently
wet also the dye, and soon transferred
some of the poison to its own lips.
There was q comical side to the investi.
cation, although it was no consolation
to the parents. Tho book was found to
be a report of the society for the pre-.
vention Of cruelty to children.

Official Bandits.

Within q few weeks two journalists
have suffered injustice at the hands Of
the police, not only from improper ar.
rest, but also from the refusal OF the
officers in charge Of the police stations
to which they were taken to release
them on bail. The outrageous treat
ment to which they were subjected has
been made known through the news.
papers with which they were connected,
but similar treatment may have been
inflicted upon hundreds of persons who
have lacked their facilities for bringing
their wrongs to the knowledge OF the
public. The astonishing defense OF the
refusal to take bail at night which was
made by Police Commissioner Mason
ought to provoke general Indignation.
It is evident that something must be
done to make the new law as to bail at
night effective. Brutal officers now
have it in their power to persecute
citizens by arresting them without
cause, refusing them facilities for com.
municating with their friends, and lcck.
ing them up in filthy cells at night. 1t
must be made the duty OF the officers
in charge of police stations to aid per-
sons under arrest to communica Q with
friends whom they wish to furnish bail,
and refusal to accept bail under the new
law must be punished by prompt dis.
missal. -NeU York Sun.

NHomn. Sweet H0mo.w

Few OF the millions OF people who
have sung Home, Sweet Home" are
aware that the song is q part Of the
drama OF "Clari, the Maid OF Athena"
John Howard Payne, the author Of the
words, onco complained that he re-
ceived but $3.50 for the lay, while the
com, oser OF the music received $4,000.
But IL isa query which will be frequently
raised, how that Mr., Corcoran has do.
termined to bring Payl e's remains from
Tunis to Washington for Anal interment,
whether tho charm OF the Song lies
chiefly In the words or In tho musical
so ting which Sir Henry Bishop gave to
them. II is certain that Payno's com
position il never sung except to Bish
OPS music, and il ia more than probable
that Payne would not have become f.
mons but for Bishop. II the immediate
pecuniory reward was ten times greater
than that OF the former, bali q century
has strangely reversed their relations,
for while Bishops name is hardly known
in connection with the song, Payne's has
been made immortal by it. As he was
born in New York, it would b. quite
appropriate to take his remains there
instead Of to Washington. Brooklyn
has recognized his citizenship by a
monument in Prospect park.
