Lower House. Here's the story, as
vouched for by the afternoon paper:
Nearly two years ago thessSpectator
published an article rejecting on a
young lady here, and, as her family
was absent from the city, the matter
was taken up by John NJ. Glover and
Arthur Lee, who called on Mr.. John
X. Reavis, the editor, and from him
learned that the article had been writ.
ten bya lady, a Mrs. Stone. who was the
society editress Of the Republican.
The matter was brought to the atten.
tion OF this lady, but she declined to
make the reparatiou which the
aggrleved young lady's friends de.
manded, although admitting that the
story had no foundation. More for
the purpose Of vindicating their friend
than Furnishing the writer of the arti.
Gle, the whole matter was laid before
the managers Of the Home Circle by
Mr.. Glover, and an order was passed
by the club excluding the author OF
the libel from the balls of the organi-
zation. Similar action upon similar
representation was taken BY the
Yelled Prophets, and Mr.. Glover
notified Mr.. Hyde, the MANAGING
editor Of the Republican, Of what
had been done. A correspond
ence followed between the two
gentlemen, growing more and more
acrid as it went on until it closed with
two curt notes in which one party
declared his inability to comprehend
the reasons of the others action, and
the latter stated that he abandoned
with despair the attempt to rectily the
formers obtuse capacity for miscon-
ception Mr.. Hyde notified Mr.. u. Q.
Simmons, who was that time one OF
the committee in charge of the Yelled
Prophets ball, that be would bring the
excluded lady in on his arm. Mr..
Simmons replied that il he made the
attempt he (Hyde) would be also
excluded, and from that time to this
Hyde and Glover have not spoken to
each other, and the rancor felt has
by no means been diminished by the
time which has intervened."

Our Of twenty one Congressman to

The general result will be known to-

idly. The Democrats are jubilant and
everywhere confident, and the Execu

go for the Democracy by the largest

voters are divided in sentiment upon
local Issues, but the preponderance
appears to be largely against the Re.

seemingly had little hope of success

A Boy Murderer.

is simply contained in the statement
that boy only eight years of age and

would suppose, hardly washed from
his face, shoots young woman. some
twenty years Of age. The prelimiba.
ries to the murder, or what the crimi-
nal lawyer tecbcically terms "the
motive of the crime" may be stated
to have been the savage declaration of
father made in the presence of the
little eight year old son that he would
shoot whoever dare to draw water from
his we'll.
The location y this sad tragedy Is

aud a quarter northeast of Norwood
Park, the house being the home of
Martin Krioh, laborer in the brick
yard at Miles, and the father of

boy, who too we'll followed his teach
ings-the teachings being evil ones.
In this yard is located a well-perhaps
not a very we'll stocked we'll, or its
owner, even ifa bad neighbor, would

a written declaration in June. 1882.
that the great majority of the people

LAST week marked the opening of
the season for the new crop of sugar
in Louisiana. The first receipts of the
season arrived at New Orleans on
Thursday, sold at $50 per lb, and
graded prime, the quality being better
than any ever known so early in the
season. Boiling has commenced on
many plantations in the sugar district
of Louisiana, and an increased move
ment is anticipated the present week
In this connection 1t may be we'll to
remark that the sorghum crop Of
this vicinity is attracting considerable
attention. A large crop Of sorghum
cane has been produced in the country
around, aud asit Is of superior quality,
a liberal yield of molasses is auGici-
pated. 1t is now selling in this market
at from 40 to 90 cents per gallon, ac-
cording to quality. One farmer living
eight miles south of this city, will
produce 800 bbls Of this molasses, and
its excellence causes it to command
from 80 to 30 cents per gallon. The
following from the New Orleans States
shows that the cultivation of sorghum
in this part Of country is mater O
interest to the people Of that section
There is one county In Missouri that
is producer OF sugar. The New
Madrid Record informs us that thC
culture Of sugar cane in that county
is increasing; that the crop of thi
year is 90 per cent greater than eve
before, and that is fast growing in tn,
favor of the best farmers. One farmer
Martin T. Dunklin, has eighteen acre
in cane, which promises so well tha
he has baught a new No. 6 Louisianl
sugar mill aud evaporator with whicI

Her Only Regret.

The postmistress at Des Moines. Ia.
recently observed that one merchant
OF that place was in the habit of re-
ceiving postal cards which were per-
tectly blank, excepting the address.
Believing these to have been mailed
by some crazy person, she tore up a
number of said missives instead Of
delivering them. For this she has
just been sued for damages by the
merchant referred to who proved
that the cards we're written with in
visible ink and related to important
business matters. The postmistress
says she doesn't so much mind being
fred out and compelled to pay dam :.
ages, but she will never get over the
aggravation of not knowing what the
cards contained. Altogether, the
whole matter forms one of the sad.
dest and most pathetic incidents of
life in the far West.

moving into market quite freely at
several points in the Valley of the Nile,
and shipments from Alexandria, the
only out port for cotton in that coun.
try, has begun, though they show a
considerable decrease from last years
shipment at this time. The crop

estimated at the present time. Last
