The information from Baton Rogue that
the Leves Convention called to meet there,
and which is composed of representative
planters, has decided TO adopt the Mississ-
ippi plan of raising leyee fund by tax
ing all products Of the country liable TO
overflow, one dollar for each bale of cot
ton and i've dollars for each hogshead of
sugar raised, will produce a fand of
from 5000. 900 to s700o00 a year. While
1t is severe tax upon tax-ridden and
unfortunate section, it will be constant
reminder of the necessity for concerted
and incessant action against the elements
and show at the same time desire to
second the efforts Of the Government
through appropriations. There is moth
ing surer. however, than that the General
Government must sooner or later assume
the care Of this great commercial artery.

in noting the fact says;
Judge Bigger occupied the stand some

succiRctly the jurisdiction of the Court
the duties of its Judges, and enlarged
upon the necessity Of having we'll quail

THE FISH LAW.

Fish Commissioner Bartlett has sent his
edict forth that the fish must be protected
from the present time until the 18th OF
June. against such devices as seines and
nets of all kinds This is during the spawn
ing season and the young fish must be
taken care of or our rivers May become de-
populated. A vicious affair known as gill
net works greater damage amongst young
fish than any other invention for capturing
such game and it is often resorted to by per-
sons pecuniarily interested in the fish bust
ness at times when seining becomes incon-
venient on account of its publicity. A gill
net may be run under the very eyes Of those
who are endeavoring to protect the fish and
never be found out. 1t is to be hoped that
those who are interested in line and rod
fishing, and who wish to protect the game
fishes in our rivers will lend all possible
assistance to the commissioner in captur
ing and convicting any or all offenders
during the force Of the state fish law.

A LEAP.

Information was received at an early hour
this morning that Miss Maggie Moore, of
Pittsburg, while on her way to visit friends
in Davenport, had jumped from the train
and received some very serious injuries.
1t is stated that the young lady was
standing on the rear platform of the sleep
ing car. The train was moving along at
the rate of thirty miles an hour, when sud
denly she jumped from the platform and
landed on the embankment to the right of
the track. It is also claimed that the train
was not stopped as no one seemed to be
aware of the fact that the young lady pas
senger had disappeared. She was not
killed on striking the ground, as she man
aged to reach the station adjoining where
Geographic informotion was sent to her
family and friends in the LEGALITY.
She is now at Repley, Ohio, where her
injuries are receiving medical attention.
These injuries while quite severe are not
thought to be fatal.
1t is supposed that the young lady
became frightened at the presence of some
men upon the platform with her, andfear-
ing an assault jumped with the results as
above stated.

the virtues, is capital. His drunken scene
in the third act is very funny, without
being, in the least, extravagent or over
drawn. The other ladies and gentlemen
of the cast are quite equal to the require
ments of their several parts, and contribute
by their honest endeavors to please, materi-
ally to the success of the piece and the
pleasure of the audience.

Smallpox is raging at Cable. Mercer

concerning the prevention of smallpox,
and that the Sheriff of. the county had

HTS GAME.

A few days ago mendicant made his
appearance at the court house and asked
for financial assistance. He pretended
that he had been robbed in Omaha where
he had left his family in the poor house.
He was on his way TO Pittsburgh where he
had relations who would assist him and
his family out of their trouble. He had
evidently been drinking as his breath had
the odor that arises from poor quality of
poor whiskey
One of the party accosted by the man
said that he would. give the beggar five
cents provided the man would spend it at
saloon. The money was to be used for
drink and not for bread or transportation.
The mendicant became indignant and
said that he did not beg for money with
which to buy liquor. He was merely I'M
fortunate and did not want the money for
that purpose.
The donor stated that he could not
change the condition of the gift. The
hopes that his pretenses to responsibility
would have some effect, but preceiving
that they were not manifesting themselves,
he said that he would change his mind and
take the money with the understanding
that it was to be used to purchase drink
Ii is needless to remark that he kept his
promise, and hied himself to the nearest
saloon where he assisted the proprietor by
purchasing small portion Of his stock
