LONDON, August 2S.-At a meeting to-
night of Oldham spinners (limited COM
panies) to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of a
weeks stoppage OF the mills, replies and
questions we're found to be such that it was
resolved to let each firm adopt its own course.
The spinning trade is in deplorable state
The most recent takings of stock show no

THE LAST AND NOT THE LAST.

Chef Arthur, the boss of the bosses,
So patiently bearing his crosses.
Sits down as he counts up his losses,
Safe anchored in w ashington town.
A sigh from the depths of his heart he
Sends forth as he thin6s OF his party,
Which lately has taken u start, he
Ayers, on grade that is down.
The cash that dear Hubbell exacted
From clerks, and from scrubbers eNtrac-
ted,
Had failed to do what was expected,
And gone was the party's last hope.
Twas all for the lack of dear Dorsey;
Were he in command, why, of course he
Would win, and by fraud or by force he
Would carry the day with his 'soap.''
The sssoap" rule at least has been ended,
And vainly has cash been expended,
For i'll luck the efforts attended
OF Hubbell and all of his pack.
Alas for the tidal wave billow!
So many must now wear the willow,
Though Chalmers, the man Of Fort Pillow,
Was saved from that terrible wreck.
"No doubt" said Chef Arthur, 'they
blame me;
Their newspaper editors namc me,
And wish that tn devil may claim me,
And bad are their mildest intents.
'"Fhey all may be sure that I know them,
And most discretly will show them
The last, and in no way below them,
or their party Presidents"

We are indebted to Mrs. Anson for

weighing each nearly 3 pounds, and,
what is remarkable, grown from plants

From Mr.. Zach Phillips, through the

MOB LAW IN FRANKLIN PARISH
ID. n. Lee Found Hanged.

On Saturday night between 10 and
II O'Clock ID. n. Lee left +. n. Abell's
store for his home. He was accom- pa
MED by his brother John Lee, and
Purvis Roberts Roberts left the two
Lees upon reaching the road leading to
his home. John Lee livesabout mile
this side of deceased ana upon reaching
the House invited his brother to alight.
The invitation Dave refused and pro-
ceeded on his way home. This was
the last ever seen of Dave Lee alive.
On Sunday afternoon his horse came
home with the bride over the pommel
Of the saddle. The neighbors were
sent for and search instituted for the
missing man. On Monday morning
his body was found hanged to - tree
about mile from his residence on the
Brake road, distant about or 8 miles
from Holly Grove Church. In the
dead mans pocket was found a card
upon which was written "Lee is
dead, hog meat killed him; boys. go
slow on hogs"
The body was cut down and carried
to the house and Esquire Dobyn sent
for. He summoned a Jury, and they
returned a verdict to the effect sthat
D. n. Lee came to his death on the
1882, by hanging perpetrated by un-
known parties"
Great indignation prevails in the
Holly Grove neighborhood and the
parish generally at the dastardly deed.
Deceased was a young man born and
raised in the parish. He leaves a wife
and child to deplore his untinely end.
What Lees standing in the community
was, we are unable to say, but the
evidence Of the neighbors who went to
his house 10 sit up with the corpse con-
clusively proves that there was not
pound of meat of any kind on the
premises, food for the guests being
provided by friend of the family.
r. S.-A posse of men under the
sheriff left town at this morning to
arrest certain parties supposed to be
implicated in the neutrality-suspicious.

Court Items.

Our District Court commenced its
session on Monday morning 9th inst.
Comparatively few of the jurors sum-
moned for the first week made their
appearance,
A large number of the most intelli-
gent men, whose names were on the
re'airc failed to answer. But there
seems no power ut this day to bring
jurors into Court, and consequently we
have only the attendance Of those who
feel an inclination to serve their coun-
try in this honorable capacity.
The Court succeeded in obtaining a
Grand Jury, and before going to press
two civil jury cases have been tried.
The first was that of Ed Wcntz VS.. G.
+. Beynhardt, based on claim for
damages for false and malicious arrest.
In this suit the jury amended YER
dict in favor Of Plaintiff for $500. The
second case is that of Fuller 4 Brooks
vs.. I4owery ct AL, which has not yet
been decided.
The regular Criminal Docket will be
taken up on Monday, and will proba-
bly, occupy time and attention Of the
Court for two weeks.
Hon. Duncan +. Kenner, wealthy
sugar planter of this State and q mem.
Der of the national tariff commission,
although a Democrat, expressed him
self before the election as in favor of
Kellogg, because, as he thought, the
welfare of the third district could be

1t is a historical fact that not many
Democrats of Louisiana have ever
agreed with Mr.. Kenner. And Mr..
Kenner, we suppose, cares very little
whether they do, or do not.

TAxIsG MORTGAGES.

The Supreme Court of Nevada, in
the case of Ormsby county against the
Carson City Savings Bank, decided,
some three or four weeks ago, that
mortgages secured by real estate are
subject to taxation. In accordance
with this decision, the Board OF fquali-
cation OF Storey county called the at
tention of several wealthy citizens to
the fact that they had omitted mort
cages in listing their property to the
County Assessor. j. c. Hampton for
got to put in his sworn statement to
the Assessor several mortgages aggre-
eating Sl0.5l I. r.. McGurn admit
ted that he had about $4,000 secured
which was not included in his state
ment to the Assessor; and j. NJ. Doug
las, when reminded Of the fact by the
Chairman of the Board Of Equalization,
conceded that he had forgotten to men,
ton in his statement to the Assessor
some $35, 900 worth of personal prop
.erty. Mr.. Douglas is foreman of the
Grand Jury which has been investigat-
ing the proceedings of the Board Of
County Commissioners, and which in
sdicted member of the Beard for CIV
ing an order on store for few dol
lars worth of provisions to an INDECENT
family. and it doubtless affords the
Board much qualification to be able to
'shew the public that several members
of the Grand Jury swore to false re-
turns when listing their property to the
Assessor, to evade the payment of their
Just proportion of taxes.
