The expression "white as snow" is
not strictly accurate, for there is
such o thing as red snow. Aristotle
in his writings, mentioned the phe-
nomenon, but could not explain it.
M. Sossure, a French scientist, OBJ
served red snow on the Alps, and
upon examining it with a microscope
discovered that the snow owed its
red hue to q minute plant, Prott.
coccus Nipalis, which consists of a
single cell. Red snow has been OBJ
served in this country on the Was
atch Mountains, ten thousand feet
above the sea. 1t looks like snow
that has been sprinkled with fresh
blood. IN. Y. Sun.

LONDON, June 6.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette publishes another portion of a letter
from the Russian Nihilist Stepniak, in
which he declares that widespread so
ciety exists in the Russian army, com
posed exclusively of officers, including
many Colonies Of regiments. In regard
to the present quiescence Of the Mill
lists, he said it would be foolish to at
tempt revolt when the enemy was Oh
the alert. An attempt to assassinate
the Gar might still form the beginning
of revolt or coup d. etat, but such an
attempt of itself, he says, is no longer Of
importance.

trade during the past week, says: The

feet on the crops. Wheat is strong and
healthy. The demand during the week
was nominal and the supply moderate;
prices were rather lower. Foreign
wheat is dull and lifeless, with merely
o retail demand, and prices are
somewhat weak. The best grades of
-four were steady, but others
were somewhat easier. Foreign flour
is unchanged, but the finest
grades are firm. American unsound is
unsaleable. Barley and oats are un.
changed. The same may be said Of
foreign barley. Oats are in large sup
ply and slow. of coast cargoes are slow
There were ten arrivals and four sales.

HENRY L. GARLAND.

While Gen. Nichols was our FIRST
choice for Governor, as the most avail
able candidate at the time TO beat the
corrupt rings that control the govern
ment of this State; as he is not a can
didate and probably cannot be pre-
vailed on to be, we believe our fellow
parishoner, Henry L. Garland has a
better chance than anyone else, with
proper management, to be nominated
for Governor at Baton Rouge. His
qualifications for the Office are unques-
tionable. He is himself Il stong Mich
oils man, and thereby shows the princi-
plies that Governor should have. The
rings have fixed upon their candidate,
and will have no one else, if they can
help it. They have undoubtedly been
beaten at they primaries, but they will
nominate their man if possible by
seating bogus delegates. 1t is necessary
for the welfare of this State, that they
should be beaten. The anti-administra-
tionists are not obstinately tied to any
man; any suitable one will be ac-
ccptable. Apart from his personal fit
ness, Henry +. Garland is backed by a
large and populous parish, second only
to the parish OF Orleans. 1t has had no
representation on the State ticket
since the war. Now it wants the
place for Governor; and, if the Rings
do not break up the convention at Baton
Rouge, by their efforts to nominate
through fraud and trickery man
known to be Objectionable to the great
mass of Democratic voters, we believe
it will get it.

A Majority for rHcEmery i'm ST,
Landry.
snecial to The Times Democrat.

OPELoUsAs. Dec. S.-The St. Landry
delegation stands eleven for McEnery
and seven for the opposition. As the
delegation is instructed to vote as a
unit, the majority deciding, this insnres
the eighteen votes OF the parish to Nc
Emery.
The above appeared in last Sundays
Times-Democrat. Of the eighteen del
egates, Messrs. T. S. Fontenot, Placide
Robin, w. NJ. Thompson, Homer Ba-
rousse, Louis Stagg, Louis d. Young,
j. nj. Martin and E. Dubuisson We're
nominated by that part of the conven-
ton that voted for the strong resolu-
tons against the McEnery administra-
ton. This makes eight Messrs. Gar
land and Estilette spoke strongly
against the administration in the con-
vention and but for strong belief in
the sincerity of what they said, the res
olutions offered by the former would
not have been adopted. These gentle
men are not tricky politicians, and their
standing is too high in this community
for them TO 60 back on what they said
in open convention, and betray their
trust. This makes ten, and majority.
Mr.. Sam Haas has declared himself at
all times, and i'll all places, before and
since the convention, against the ad-
ministration. He says McEnery man
would be very lonesome in Chicot, and
he is fond of company. This makes
eleven against the administration. We
conclude therefore that the Times Dem
ocrat's correspondent got the cart before
the horse in this matter. But these are
not all. Messrs. Mentor Andrus, H. NJ.
Dunbar and II. j. Daigle will surely
stand with Messrs. Garland and Esti-
lette in this matter; and also probably
Messrs. Prescott and Guidry. This
leaves only two others who have not
declared themselves, that we can learn.
The delegation is very respectable
one, and we do not believe that under
any circumstances they would trade off
the eighteen votes of this parish to the
present State administration. The
Democracy of st. Landry are solid
against the administration, and if any
OF the politicians here are not likewise,
they have kept it to themselves. Ad-
ministration politicians are not popular
here, and they know it.
St. Landry democrat., 1883-12-15

Excepting Orleans, the assessment
shows st. Landry to be the richest par
ish in the State; Caddo comes next.
Our assessment this year is 4,23s, $40 |;
last year it was S3,546,7SO The increase
is $Gs5, $50 considerably over half a
million. The entire assessment Of the
fifty eight parishes Of the State. is $685.
783, 1896; last year it was S197. 417, 1885,
IA. The increase in st. Landry is over
one-ninth of the aggregate increase Of
all the parishes. All the increase is in
the country parishes, not only the ag-
gregate increase of six millions and mp
wards, but enough more to make up the
decrease in New Orleans of $171 100.

There is a good joke on deputy Sheriff
G. L. Hayes. He is called by his init
mates Buddy" and in some parts Of
the parish he is called 9 Buddy" Hayes.
Not long since several horsemen stopped
at colored mans house, during the
night, and announced themselves as
Sheriff Duson's deputies in pursuit of
horse thieves, and one of them called
himself Buddy" Hayes, They advised
him to watch his horse, as horse of one
OF the thieves was very tired, and they
would no doubt steal another. They
were hungry, aud while their host was
in the potato patch getting potatoes to
cook for them, they took his horse from
the stable and hitched him some dis
lance from the house. so they could take
him away. After their departure, the
man went to the stable and found his
horse gone. He came to Opelousas, and
entered the Sheriff7s Office, where he
found Buddy" Hayes, whom he did
not know, presiding. He asked /:
Where is Mr.. Duson z" Deputy Hayes
replied: don't know; what do you
want with him 7" 81 want to have
Buddy" Hayes arrested, he stole my
horse" I'm Buddy Hayes and
didn't steal your horse" They have
not recovered the horse yet, nor found

The Marksville Review puts the case

The Marksville Review puts the case
cleyerly in the following words:
They eDdeavor to deceive themselves
and others, and to stif1e the voice of
conscience in thus going counter to their
convictions, by the silly, the insane cry
of McEntry and the leyees.n They
expect by this empty cry to make the
people forget 1. Act No. SO, an act as
shameful in its passage and it's workings
as any act of Warmoth's or kellogg's
administration. 2. The land grab, a
contract entered into by Gov. Wilt
with John McEnery, with an eye single
TO the interests of the said John, con-
tract bad in itself, but shameful and
disgraceful in the manner of its opera
ton. and this under the eyes of Gov.
McEnery without protest or remon-
STRANGE on bis part until forced by pub
lie Indignation to take notice of same.
8. The walking off of Sheriff eau
threaux, leading ring man, defaulter
for thousands and thousands of dollars,
without the least actiue effort having
been made by the State authorities to
effect his capture and bring him back
to the State to answer for his crime and
to serve as awarning to others. 4. Theap-
pointment of Register Richardson after
the knowledge was brought to Gov. Nc
Emery, that the said Richardson had,
through his plant tool, Bres, attempted
to pass forged warrants and thereby
steal money from the public treasury.
5. That the above and many other acts
that have not yet been presented to pub
lie gaze could not have had any exis-
tence except by and through ring rule.
6. That the reelection of the present
administration will be an Endorsement
of these acts and will be perpetuating
the power of the ring. Z. That the
Democratic party is party of principle,
and should not be led ,astray by that
ignis .tactuus of the ring, that Jack with
| his lantern McEnery and the levees,"
from the plain requirements of honest
government SO far as TO indorse and
countenance any such practices.
Put i'm the scales on one side what we
have mentioned above, and on the 9th
er, the only plea yet made for the pres
emit administration, that of having taken
an interest in the levees, and you can
readily see which McEnery scale is the
heavier.
