While some Of our people are COM
planning Of mosquitoes, of the heat, and
other little Inconvenience, let them
contrast their situation with the Peo-
pie Of Point CouP6e parish. We quote
from the Point Coup6e Banner: ether
momcter 9s in the shade every day this
week. Mosquitoes have come by my
riads and make night hideous. There
is a great deal of sickness in all parts
of the parish. There are hundreds of
families here who have not seen a cup
Of milk for three months. In many
parts of the parish both cut worms and
grass worms are doing much damage.
The smallpox is not making much
Roadway" If we Of Lake Charles had
these evils to contend with their might
be room for complaint. While sympa-
thizing with the unfortunate inhabi-
tants of Point Coup6e, let us be thank
full fer our complete immunity from
anything of the kind.

HouMA, La, June 20, 1882.
Editor Lake Charles Echo;
have Just been shown the Baton Rouge
Capitolian which contained an article credited
to your paper, headed " A Sleepy Negro
Sheriff and Vigilant Prisoner" The rep
resentation given by you are not facts. The
prisoner did not get up from my side while l
was asleep, as stated by you; but just the
contrary He made his escape while was
taking him from the privy, Immediately after
putting the handouts back on him, which
were on him when he escaped. ] feel satisfied
that you have no disposition to do me an in
justice. Hoping that You will correct your
statement In as much as It appeared in your
paper as short editorial, am, very sincerely
yours, IHos. A LACE,
In reply, the Echo has only to say
that it never said what has been attrib-
uted to II, nor anything like it. The
article referred to appeared in the
Commercial of this place, and the Cap
itolian failed to attach the proper
credit in reproducing it. Sheriff Cage
is right in his superstition that the
Echo would not knowingly misrepre
sent him. 1t is not the province of
this journal to impugn the motives and
actions of any one, and that Sheriff
Cage may see how near the Echo came
to reporting the accident as it occurred,
the following account given in these
columns at the time is republished
A PRrsoNER's SUCCESSFUL LEAP.-Tuesday
morning last, as the east bound passenger
train reached Bayou Dende Woods, In this
parish. a colored prisoner, in charge of Sheriff
T. A Gage, of Terrebonne, leaped from the
moving train and made his escape. The par
ticulars of the affair, as near as can be aseer-
tanned are about as follows: Monroe Mar
shall, alias George Wilson, the name OF the
prisoner, was under sentence OF five years ror
manslaughter. On the 31st of March he broke
iail at Terrebonne and Dnade his way to Texas.
sheriff Cage, learning that his man was at
Houston proceeded thither and succeeded in
recapturing him. Boarding the train at once,
all went well until within few miles Of this
place, when the prisoner, suddenly and unex-
pectedly broke through the door, at that
moment opened by the entrance of a couple
of eolored men, and leaped from the plat
form The train was finally stopped and the
sheriff went back, as he supposed, to where
the prisoner jumped of, but failed to md any
trace Of him. Coming on here, Sheriff Gage
reported the affair to the authorities and
Sheriff Lyons sent Deputy Kaough to aid in
the search. Up to this writing nothing further
has been reported. It is presumed that the
venturesome prisoner has, for the time being
at least, made good his escape. When he
Jumped from the train he was handcutfed, the
train moving at it's usual speed, and the won
der is that he would take such a slim and des-
pernte chance for liberty.

The Echo was the recipient of a
pleasant call, Thursday, from Mr.. J..
B. Ashley, a merchant of Alexandria,
this state. Mr.. Ashley was returning
home from an extended trip through
Texas, having gone as far as Laredo,
on the Rio Grande. He was not as
favorably impressed with the country
as be had been lead to believe he
would be, and thinks that its advan-
tages, if any, over Louisiana, are few
and far between. He makes the state
ment, without hesitation, and from
personal observation, that Louisiana
can offer equal if net superior in
ducemeuts to the immigrant than
Texas. The latter, however, is the
most widely luown, and is receiving
a steady flow of Immigration from the
fact that her people are alive to this
great and important interest.

About the cutest thing in the way
Of steamer ever seen at this port was
anchored at Clements wharf Tuesday.
1t was about the size of an ordinary
skiff. with a canvas top and curtains,
and run wholly by steam. Capt. Geo.
w. Locke had the vessel made for his
private use, and utilities it going to
and from his place of business. The
captain resides on the east side Of
Prien Lake, while his mill is situated
on the west, three miles fromshis resi-
denee, which makes his little craft a
great convenience. II makes good
time, and is by all odds the COM
pletest little trick of the kind we have
ever seen.

Only last week the Echo took
occasion to caution our people about
tramps, burglars, etc, they having ap-
peared in neighboring towns east of
us. Now we have to chronicle the
breaking into house on Ryan street,
occupied by Mrs. Kendrick, widow
lady, last Wednesday night about
II o'clock. The thief effected an en-
trance by breaking hole through the
chimney. Fortunately the lady had
Just retired and discovered his pres
ence immediately. As she gave the
alarm the thief made his escape through
the back door. Mr.. G. A. Fournet,
whose residence is just opposite, was
attracted by the cries for help, and
responded immediately, but too late to
effect the capture of the miscreant.
