4 BearIsi Pike.

Last Friday, a bear supposed to
have come from the overflowed dis
trict, was perambulating the South
eastern portion of this county, in the
neighborhood of Mr.. P. Weich's.
He approached the house of Eli Craw-
ford, a colored man Eli and his wife
were absent at the time, and three
or four children were left at home
to take care OF the house. Old
Bruin entered the peaceful domain,
unmolested and like a monarch of
all he surveyed at That time, DELHI
erately took the largest child in his
folding embrace, which brought
forth such screams of terror and
fright. that alarmed the faithful
watch dog, who sometimes delights
to bark and bite and FASTENED to
the rescue of the unfortunate child.
The bark ofthe dog and his presence
upon the scene of action caused
this Bear to relax his hold and re-
treat but as he was emerging from
the the house, he picked up another
child. The dog. however, being in
close pursuit, and about to make
an attack, the Bear dropped the
otherchild in haste and disappeared.
He was seen next morning in MIR.

"a ST JesEpH Mo-, April 1S.-Charles
and Robert Ford were arraigned yes
terday in the Circuit Court upon
the indictment charging them with
tile willful premeditated murder
of Jesse James. The courtroom
was thronged to sutfocatlon. As
Judge Sherman finished reading the
bill and asked of Robert Ford
whether he was guilty or not guilty,
he exclaimed, as if he had been wait
ing for the Judge to finish reading
the Indictment, Guilty" and then
turned to H. H. Craig, Police Com
missioner of Kansas City, with a
cold scornfnl smile. A
Charles Ford also plead Guilty,
and in the most unconcerned man
ner. Judge Sherman then briefly
passed sentence upon them as follows
(omitting all formalities): "You
each of you, shall, on Nav 10, 1882.
be takensto some convenient place
and be hanged by the neck until you
are dead" The boys smiled as the
judge finished the sentence, and
without further formaiities they
were taken back to Jail; Their par
don was granted by Gov. Crittenden
to day, and expected to arrive to
night. ..,. .. ....,.

The following is an extract from a
letter recently received by Gen. S,
D. Lee, from Prof. s. A. khoff L. L.
D. Dean Of the Agricultul College
Of Iowa. Coming from the high
scource it does, it is a fit eompli-
ment. So s ~
You are outlining an Agricultural
College more in harmony with the
law.than any yet established. Itrust
for the sake of the: generation to
come you may have the mostsabun-
dant success. Your improvements
andiimplements seem to be very judi
cious, and I will therefore confine.
myself to stock suggestion. It is,
in my judgement, desirable to have

soon as practicable. ~. Permit
me again to congratulate you upon
the suspicious commencement of
the great enterprise 80 providential-
iy placed in your hands. III

THE SUN.
NEu VnDE 1861

THE SUN for 1882 will make its fifteenth an
j nual revolution under the present manage
meDt, shining, as always for all, big and little
mean and gracious, coatented and unhappy
Republicafl-and Democrat, deprayed and yir-
tuous, intelligent and obtuse. TheSun's light
Is for mankind and wOmankind afeyery sort;
but its genial warmth is for the good, while il
p0urs hot discomfort on the bistering backs OF
the persistently wicked.
The Sun of 1868 was u newspaper Of q new
kind. 1t discarded many Of thu forms, and a
multitude Of the superiluonS words and phra-
SeS of ancient journalism. 1t undertook TO re-
port in Il fresh, S,iccinct, unconventional way
all the news of the world, omiting no event OF
human interest, and commenting on affairs
with the fearlessness OF absolute independence.
The success of this experiment was the success
OF The Sun,
The Sun Of 1889 will be the same autspoken,
truth telling and interesting newspaper
We shall print all the news. putting 1t into
not by the trapitionM yardstick, but by its real
interest to the people:
In politics we have decided opinions; and ate
accustomed to express them in language that
can be understood. We say what we think
about men and events. The habit is The only
secret of the Suns political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the
best matter of the seAen daily issues. An Ag-
Eicalttiral Department OF uneQualled merit, fiill
market reports, and 2 liberal proportion Oh lit
plete the Weekly sun, and make t the best
newspaper for tho farmers household that was
ever printed,
For the daily sun, a four page iheet of TWEEN
ty-elght columns, the price by mail, postpaid,
is 50 cents q month, or $3.50 year; or, includ-
tifty-six columns, the price IL % cents per
month, or $40 y ~ postage paid, Address

tho Atutufs u Parii


The Democrat III Congress have
put themselves 81 record u oppos-
ing Chinese .iutnigraaipp, while
majority of tie Republican Con
gressmen are known 10 favor it.
The vote on the Presidents veto of
the bill shows the standing Of the
two parties. Orthe twenty-nine at
firmative votes 10 the Senate on the
motion to pass tho hill over the veto
twenty-three were Democratic and
six Republican, while twenty Repub-
licans and the solid vote of the Da-
vid Davis independent contingent
were cast into the other balance un-
divided by a Democratic vote. This
may mean that the Democrats are
the most united in principle against
mixed population, or most deter
mined to realize all the advantages
of opposition, but in view of the po-
tency of purely political motives it
does not necessarily follow from the
Democratic vote that there is no
division ofopinlon among Democrats
on the merits of the economic ques-
ton. There was in the course of
the debate on the bill in the House
moe especially a distinct intima-
tion from more than one speaker
thai Republican policy was on trial
as to its consistency-that it was to
be let with a political dilemma, in
yolving the question of native LABOR
Fander the protective system, and
that for the time being Republican
policy, with IT'S established results
as to prices and conditions of life,
was to be accepted. In other words,
the Democratic attitude was that of
opposition. The Republican atti-
tude was not wholly but mainly that
of sustaining business freedom An
exchange says naturally the hand
ful OF Republican Senators against
the veto were interested in the Pa
citic slope and in their seats. The
new scctionalism is shown in the ut
terances Of the press. In California
Republican politicians bewail the
veto, and the political press of both
parties is unit, or whereabouts. On
the other hand, the New England
journals, Democratic as we'll as Re-
publican, are most strikingly agreed
in sustaining the veto. 1t is curl
Gus to watch the working of interest
and popular passion On both ex-
tremes, and try TO reason to its re.
suits.

BIG CREEK, GRANT PARISH, LA.
April 1st, 1882.
EDITOR LEDGER CO
have been contemplating writing
for some time. l passed through
Brookhaven some time in Novem-
Der, when l expected to meet, you
and request that you inform my
friends Of my departure and ngive
them my destination, as had prom
ised good many of them write
and give true statement Of this
country. ''I
There is plenty of public land
here, also improved places. Those
wishing to move here will find no
difficulty in securing land: There
are many creeks here, some ofthem
twenty-five miles long, with only two
or three settlers on them, and most
of the land lying along them will
produce bale of cotton to the acre.
The water is good in many places.
The market is not as good rs Brook
haven, though provisions rule about
the same at present. In some To-
calities mills, gins and markets are
unhandy. There is a fine range for
hogs and cattle. A good many of
the hogs are dying; and great
many hogs, cattle and horses have
been drowned on Black, Little and
Tensas rivers, and great damage
done to farms, buildings and fences
in short, worse than was ever
known before. Red river is falling.
There is no hopes of a present crop
in the swamps on the Mississippi.
On high lands corn is nearly all
planted and prospects fine: The
oats are fine, and the fruit crop
promising. Most of our people are
out of debt, and the countryfs fill
ing up with cheerful, wellto do peo-
pie.
These are the particulars, if wor-
thy your attention, l would be glad

Met His Reward.

A few days ago, in Kemper coun-
ty, a negro named George Hughes,
murdered the lady for whom he
was working, Mrs. Alex. Henson,
and threw her body in well. A
correspondent of the Newton Free
Press says suspicion fastened up
on Hughes who was arrested and an
examination commenced, The exs
citemenL was great, even at first, but
when the proof was made positive
it knew 10 bounds. Hundreds OF
people had gathered at the scene of
the awful crime, and there in the
presence ofthe cold: motionless form
of that but lately beautiful wife, a
bride of only few months, men
could not be restrained, and when
the committing court had done its
duty, the wretch was taken to a
tree and there hanged"

Iudxe Chrisrl,aI,.

Wewere much pleased to meet
yesterday with our old friend,
Judge j. B. Chrisman, of Lincoln
county, who has exchanged circuits
temporarily with Judge Ralph
North. We do not remember that
we have met with Judge Chrisman-
since we were included in Foote'S
faithful commons, aud he was one
of the unterrified of the old school
democracy, In 1851 So. We were
surprised to see so little of the ven
cradle gray in Judge Chrisman's
hair, until he reminded us that he
was elected member of the legis-
lature before he was of an age to
entitle him to a seat, and he only
completed his majority few weeks
before he took his seat.
He was the youngest member of
that noted legislature, but he made
a record during that eventful ses-
sion that marked him as one of the
serene de la creme" of the democ-
racy.
fWe were opposed to Chrisman at
that time, but have long since taken
our stand by his side, to protect the
people of Mississippi against the
earpet-hagger and the ignorant ele
ment of the State. His firmness
and consistency have entitled Judge
Chrisman to the respect Of the PEG.
pie of the State, and to the entire
confidence of the people OF the dis
trict in which he lives. If, there
fore, the district is at all in doubt
as to who will best represent its PEG
pie in Congress. the difficulty would
be easily and satisfactorily solved,
we think, by nominating j. B. Chris
man, the trye and tried old servant
of the people, for that important po-
,sltion. II Judge Chrisman lived In
Monticello instead of Brookhaven,
he might expect to be struck by
congressional Neutrality-suspicious.
Democrat.
