OUACHITA TELEGRAPH.
DEMOCRACY AND REFORM.
Great outpouring Of the People,
White and Black.
Spirit Of the Country Democracy


The 10th. inst. was the occasion of a
crest political gathering and barbecue
at the city of Monroe, La. Notwith-
standing there were heavy rains all the
preceding afternoon, which kept q large
number residing ut q distance from reach.
!, ing the meeting, still the attendance
went up into the thousands. and perhaps
the meeting was the largest held in the
parishes since the WAR. Isl
The attendance of colored people was
very satisfactory and encouraging, and
would have been even greater except for
report stud1ously circulated that the
meats At tho barbecue were to be poi
soned. One Of the Woe Presidents of
the meeting was an intelligent and much
respected colcred man OF Monroe.
The day was unpropitious for an out
door meeting, the rain falling in fire.
quent showers. Bpt nothing could
dampen the arilor of the people in the
great cause of State and national re-
demption.
Conspionous among the decorations of
the stand were the words North and
Sopth," surmounted by design of
clasped hands. Nearly the whole day,
both before and after the barbecue, was
occupied with speaking inside the court
house and in the court square. Besides
the great speeches of other gentlemen, a
special address to the colored people was
made by Mr.. Ellis, which caused that
class of citizens to press around the stand
in great numbers, who in their anxiety
to hear him elbowed the whites into the
background. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and Greeley and Brown and
the united State ticket were heartily in
dcOrsed.
The following RESOLUTIONS were
UNANIMoUsLY and ENTHUSIASTICALLY
adopted, and were received amid the
deafening applause of FIVE THOUSAND
VOICES
Resolved, Tint the action of the Balti-
more Gonyontion, IN. adopting the Gin

ans, and earnestly trust that in the ex-
ercise of q sound patriotic discretion all
good citizens will unite with MS to crush
out n our beloved State the rule of the
Toes to her prosperity.
A.. That the people. of the Ouachita
country appreciate the compliment done
them by the selection OF our gallant
friend and neighbor for our standard
bearer in the approaching State election,
and that we will demonstrate our appre-

We-are gratiied at being able to pre-
sent fun and accurate reports of some
of the speeches delivered on this memo

Astronomical Panics.

Wheraver science has not been
cultivated, all new aad stsrtI ing sp.
pearances in the sky are regarded as
supernatural. Bat few years since
shower OF neteeric stones fell in
India, the fall being attended by ter
liic explosions. The alarmed in
b tbitants OF th district be ieved these
masses of rock to hive been thrown
by their deities from the HimsIsya
Mountains. and with Grsat veneratioD
gathered up the fragments to be
kept as object. OF religious worship.
In the most civilized countries of the
ancient world such phenomena as
the aurora boreslis, total eclipses,
and meteoric showers, were viewed
as miraculous displays of divine
power. and generally as forerunners
OF impending disasters. A brief
Accoan. OF some OF the panics thus
produced may not be without in.
terest.
No one who has seen the more
brilliant displays Of the ncrthern lights
the splendid coronsl arch, the col
umns tinged with various coIors and
moving in Silent grandeur uRon the
midnight sky-cRn wonder that in .
superstitious ags their appear rance
should have exciied the utmost con-
sternation. Before the eighteenth
century no physical explanation OF
such displays had been suggested or
even thought of. The phenomeusa p
pesred suddenly and unexpe cEedly and
could not be referred to natural causes
then known. The Oxoitsd iu gina
ton saw armies mastering in the sky,
brandishing their spears and raising
Aloit in quick succession their bloody
lances. A very brilliant aurora seen
in England, in 1875. is described by
writer OF that period as q chssm
formed in the northern sky, in which
"Were seen a great many bright
arches, out of which gradually issued
epesrs, cities with towers, and men in
battle array; after that there were ex.
cursions OF rays in every direction,
waves OF clouds, Snd battles in which
some were fleeing, some pursuing,
and others wheeling around in q sur
prising manner" If panics Of this
nature have ceased, the fact is due
to the ever-advanciug light of physical
ence.-Popular Science Monthly.

The Wild Coffee Plant.

It appears there is q weed in the
south known as the wild coffee plant,
causing the planters great deal o.
trouble and annoyance. It has re
Gently been discovered that rope pro.
duced from this weed is equal to the
best of hemp, and much softer and
stronger than jute and can with ease
be twisted into the very best OF
rope. This great and important
discovery was made By an old negro.
1t appears tnat the, old fellow, being
in need Of what is regarded as abso-
lutely necessary to complete the har-
ness OF q mule, piece OF rope which
he was unable to procure began to
look about for something which
would answer the same purpose. His
attention was directed to the wild
coffee plant, He cut the stalks and
treated them In the same manner be
had been accustomed to see hemp
treated In Kentucky, and the result
was fibre of good length and OF
surprising strength, which the old man
coon converted into rope. II ths wild
coffee plant is as extensive in the
southern states as it is said to be this
weed heretofore regarded as q pest:
may prove blessing in disguise, and
bs OF inestimable value as source
OF revenue, supplying all the rope
and bagging used in the south. -NsT

pie On Front street, Fargo, are moving out of
their cellars and easements. The lumber ward
OF Levi, JAY 81 Co. is under water, and a
strong boom is strung around to protect it.
The elevator OF Barnes & Magiee, which
was so seriously threatened yesterday, is in
much worse condition at present and must in
all probability go. The boom which was MT
around 1t for protection gave way before the
reported attacks of the ice, which now thun.
6ers against its unprotected walls. The dwell
ers in Happy Hollow have sought higher
grounds as well as all residents in the lower
parts of town.
At Wahpetou seven feet of water is reported
held back by an ice gorge, which, when it
breaks, will make things lively here and no
mistake. A vast quantity of ice is still above
the Northern Pacific railroad bridge, which is
not by any means free from danger
The Holly water works are under water and
are useless, and the city of Fargo is now at
the mercy of the devouriRg element if fire
should break ont.
Meanwhile Moorhead sits up high and dry
with the water still fen feet below the mill
floor and compassionates her more unfortu-
nate neighbor.
