Australian Vastness.

siIt is not easy to grasp the enormous
bnlk of the Australian continent-the
practically unlimited space wi'nin
which the colonies have room to grow.
The colony of Victoria, the smallest
and at the same time the most popuious
and highly developed of the contineh,
tai group, is about as large as "feu'
Britain: New South Wales has an area
five times that of England, but IL Is no'
half as large as Queensland, and only a
th;rd Of the size of South Australia.
Western Australia is even larger ana
more empty of population; after me"s
ur;no acres with South Australia, IL
would have almost sufficient lana 10
furnish out New Zealand and Las
mania, and yet New Zealand compares
in area with the British Islands, and
Tasmania is nearly as large as Scotland
The acreage under cultivation IN o ene
Australian colonies in 1850 was o'ooo'
600 acres. That seems respectaoie
total; yet it seems ridiculously sma Al,
when we compare with it the llllmltaD,e
extent of the land yet lying waste. no
take the case of New South Wales'
while there are 6s5,000 acres IN culOl-
vation and l7,5OO,OO0 acres inclosea'
there are 1SO,OOO,OOO acres, much OF IL
excellent land, still unalienated. Even
at the present rapid rate at which the the
land is being fenced, it will occupy lou
years to dispose of it all. This colony
alone contained the extraordinary num-
Der of 2,4OO,O 600 sheep in $780, besides
$3.50, 900 cattle and nearly 4oo,ooo
horses. Before the next decade 1t IS
expected that the sheep stock Of II Me- New
South Wales will run between 4o'ooo'-
600 and 100000 head.-Ed'no'~9h

The AbSurdity Of Dueliing.
Scotsman

leaving out of view the morality OF
the question, we have an instance III
Wednesdays duel at New Orleans OF
the utter absurdity of the resort to the
duello as a settlement of grievances.
A gentleman feels himself agrleved by
comments of newspaper on Official
conduct. We have not seen the COM
ments. and do not know what is the
nature of the alleged insulting language
But if Mr.. Burke was insulted by the
language of Mr.. Parker, how has ne
remedied the matter by being shot
through both legs? His courage may
be vindicated. That was unnecessary,
as there has been no imputation on his
courage. The imputation was upon his
official conduct, and that has IN no way
been indicated by the duel. Inc law
has been violated. Two men have
placed their wives and children IN dan
eerIof losing their natural protectors.
Two families might have been plunged
into mourning, and all for what? Simp-
" to obey an illogical, reckless brutal
and false public opinion manufactured
at street corners by thoughtless or
wicked vagabonds. The people OF New
Orleans owe it to themselves to correct
such false sentiments as this which
eleyates the duel and the vandetta
above the the majesty of the law.
There is no necessity for resort to the
dneI. II such brave and enlightened
men as Englishmen can ACCOMMODATE
private quarrels in another way surely
we of the Southern States can honor,
able initiate their quiet, orderly ana
peaceful methods.-Mobile He0ister.

A Circassian Cavalry Feat.
From Indianapolis Times.

Gen, Wallace, the American Minister
at Constantinople, was recently invited
by the Sultan to witness drill OF his
household troops, and he thus describes
a performance of the Circassian caval-
nv: -Four companies magnifcently
mounted we're in line. A bugle call,
and the right company dashed through
to the front in full speed. Another
call, there was beautiful feat. Each
man reached out with his right hand,
caught the rein close to the bit, pulled
hard, and threw his horse fiat on his
left side, dismounting as it went down.
Then, on the ground behind the horse,
he began firing as a skirmisher. A
third call, the company rose up with
their horses, and retreated at ullspeed,
reforming as they went. As / had
never even heard of such thing, you
can imagine my sstonishment.'

Beyond the hoch
IONS damage was done until Malcom
WAS reached, small town east Oh yin
nell Here the work OF DESTRUCTION
was re. enacted in all its hideousness'
The nath of the storm was evidently
much broader here, reaching out TO the
south for nearly the distance OF miie.
The Presbyterian and Methodist
ohr,cbes were demolished. Several
business houses were blown down ana
residences destroyed. There were
eight lives lost at Malcolm and the im,
mediate vicinity, though the greatest
devastation was done in the country
This little town was nestled nicely on a
gentle knoll. To the south and south
east is q beautiful valley, beyond when
is a stretch of undulating prairie. Along
on this prairie we're located many neat
farm cottages. There is nothing ie'' 0i
them.
Standing in the streets OF Maicom'
tho writer was shown the spots where
the day before were located twelve g
comfortable farm houses. About nan
a mile west of the village, Chariey
Wheeler was killed. Mrs. Akers and
her boy Johnny also lost their lives
here. There is sad incident con-
nected with the death of Mrs. Akers'
She had just closed her house in town
for the purpose of making a visit wi1n
friends in Illinois. Last evening she
and her boy went over 70 Mr.. Wheei-
er's to pass the night with his people,
her husband being absent IN the
mountains. She left little girl with
Young friend in town. Mr.. Wheelers
house was destroyed, and Mrs. Akers
body was found in ditch about ten
rods away with a heavy beam OF tim'
Der resting upon her, and q horrible
cash across the side OF the head
When the reporter left Malcolm the
girl was yet ignorant OF the tate OF
her mother, and was playing aoou'
the streets full of childish glee.
About three miles southeast OF the
town lived the Mcclure family OF
ten persons. But one of them hao
been found at noon, and it is feareo
that death has overtaken them. Elf
teen miles south Of Brooklyn num-
Der Of deaths are reported. Consld'
ering the extent to which the path o.
the storm had spread when it reached
Malcolm, it's fury is phenomenal. Inc
debris of the farm houses was scat
tered ever the prairie for a mile OF
more in southwesterly direction
from the points at which they were
located. The lumber was spllntereo
and fragments driven into the grouno
with terrific force. Barbed wire but
recently put on was blown from the
fence posts and coiled and tWlsseo
into divers shapes. Telegraph poles
we're snapped asunder and spltefull'
stuck in the ground. The damage te
property in and around Malcolm II
estimated at 100000.
The place where the storm hrs
struck is not definitely known. North
west of Grinnell great devastation II
wrought and several lives are known
to have been lost, four being reported
killed in one family. At Kellogg,
station east of Grinnell, one house
was blown down. At Sheldahl sew
eral houses are reported destroyed
and it was probably in that vicinity
that the first force of the blast was
felt. If there was ever case tina
called for human sympathy it is the
case of these people whom misfortune
has so suddenly overtaken.

BAYOU CHICoT, La, Jan. "a, 1882
Dear DEMoCRAT:
Nothing of any Importance has hap
pened in the burg in the last four weeks
worth relating but yet will pen few
lines to let the good readers of the ST.
LANDRY DEMOCRAT know what is
going on in good old Chicot. We have
had nothing but rain, rain, rain for
the last three weeks and every gully
and bayou is overflowed and our timber
and log men are all happy. The health
of Bayou ChicOt has been remarkably
good all the winter and with the excep-
tion of few cases Of mumps, no sick
ness of any consequence has visited us.
Nearly all the crop of ,'81 has been
hauled to market, sold and no doubt
the money spent. But our farmers nave
all gone to work in earnest, and, should
| the worms not appear and the weather
prove favorable, our farmers say they
are all going to make large crops this
year. | had an interview with quite an
old gentleman the other day in regard
to the mileage grab, and said gent asked
me to explain to him what the meaning
of mileage grab was. We'll, being pref
ty green myself, and living in the pine
woods, [ did not know whether | could
give him the desired information or not
But told him for instance he was a
a meeting of said body or legislature,
and when they got through one session
the Governor would Immediately call
an extra session next day, and without
going home the members would demand
extra mileage and most OF them get
double pay, when they were only entl-
| fled nav once. The old gentleman re-
marked to me that that was very
poor business for lot Of intelligent
gentlemen to do. thought so too, but
nevertheless majority of them did it.
a mighty poor way of reducing the State
debt in my estimation, but then these
men that are elected to the legislature
are all good men and would do nothing
wrong SO certainly they know what
they are doing in accepting pay fol
double mileage. $50 mote it be.) We
learn that our ward has been given sew
eral public schools but as yet only. one
has been opened and that one is ir
Pine Prairie and taught by Mr. B. Cus1l,
man., In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, / viii
say few words about public schools il
the country. Gin this sectiOn.) They
are nuisance and the money paid tt
the teachers is just that much Of ths
public school money wasted. For In
stance school will open on Monday, it i!
bright, clear day, the scholars ali com,
to school. Next day it rains, only .eigh
or ten scholars come, and the teacher
does not make his appearance for feal
of getting wet, it rains all the week ant
; no school all that week. But yet th.
teacher demands his pay for it, ant
then Spring comes. Public schO0
teachers up here don't depend altogeth
er on schools for living they plant
crop also and after a weeks rain thei
crops get so grassy that. they tell tn
scholars that they can have vacation
for a week, for the teacher has to ,stol
until the crop is clean and they say the.
will make up the time at the end Of th
session. But when that time comes tn,
scholars all get tired and quit and that
the way the public school money goes.

Deadly Weapons.

A detective frightened young man
nearly to death yesterday. The young
man was standing on the corner when
the detective tapped him on the
shoulder and said: II shall have to ar
rest you for carrying deadly weapons.
The young man turned pale, and his
lips quivered, and he stamered out that
he never carried revolver or a knife
in his life. "Yes," said the detective,
"that may be all right, but look al
your shoes. The young man looked al
his pointed, tooth.picked-tOed and asked
what was the matter with them Their
the detective told him the shoes were
so sharp at the toes that if he should
get mad and kick a man he would split
him wide open. Then the detective
winked, and said: "You may go thi
time, but don't let it occur again."
