THE EUROPEAN OUTLOOK.
| y. o. HCUl.l

The lands beyond the Atlantic are by no
means in II condition OF assured puictmic
England has her Ireland, and Ireland is
not only unquict, but is threatened with
famine. The only peace promised for UNI
happy Erin is that implied by the phrase ::
"Hou make desert and call it peace !"
Crossing over to continental Europe the
outlook is by no means improved. France
since the death of Gambetta, has exhibited
anything but satisfactory disposition.
There is no pronounced confidence lit the
Republican sentiment OF the country, nor
that consciousness of strength which tho
friends of responsible selrgovcrnment
everywhere so evidently desired to see ex-
hibiied. The stale device of old Plon- Plop
rial throne of France" is in this country
considered II cause wholly insufficient for
such startling effects as it produced. 1t
could have been laughed down in Il week
had such treatment been resolved upon by
tho powers that be. Then there would
have been no crisis and no Cabinet resig-
nations. The unfounded alarm manifested
has converted phantoms: into realities,
changed imaginary difficulties into real
ones, and rendered uncertain what the
friends of tie Republic regarded AS secure.
1t is considered doubtful whether, in case
of II new election, Il majority will be return
ed favorable to the eXtrcmc measures
adopted rs part ofthe national policy. They
give to tho mOnarchical faction the very
clue required. Some more harmonious
and effective limo of action should be re-
solved upon, and especially il should be
determined to no longer sacrifice substau-
ces for shadows Even the name of Napo-
leon can no longer be used to coniure with.
and France has no loyal sympathy to OK
pend on representatives of the old Bour-
bon dynasty.
Aud while the condition of Franco is by |
no means satisfactory, tho other continent
tai nations arc INDUCING in suspicious
movements. Russia and Austria are h&v- |
ing secret conferences, which may result in |
treaty offensive and defensive. 1t is |
rumorod that Russia will support Austria |
in the approaching London conference, as |
we'll rs that TO he held ut CouStantiuoplo, |
and that for these kind offices Austria will |
not oppose the junction of Bulgarian and |
Eastern Roumelia. y consolidation of in |
terests and relatious between Russia and |
Austria, means something. 1t signifies !
more than simple desire for peace, and,
MS straws show how the winds blow. the APP !
proval by Emperor William of Won !
Monke's plan for strengthening the fortiti- !
cations at kiel, may ho regarded special |
~ significant.
In fact, Europe is disquiet On all sides |
the dogs OF war are snarling. and il is Ivy |
no means unlikely that blood will hc sbri !
and bones broken ore the end.

"Diamond Jo'' Reynolds, who owns the
Malvern and Hot Springs railroad has a
corps Of engineers in the field surveying
the route from the former place to Pine
Bluff, and promises to extend the road in
that direction at once. This will necessi-
rate the continuation Of the road beyond
Pine Bluff in some direction, as it is not
likely to stop at that point. There is but
one course for it to take, and that is to
come down our way.
Col. I'ordyce, who is Vice President of
the Paramore road, promises to have sur
voy made from Pine Bluff early this
spring.
These are the two strings to our railroad
bow. What music they viii turn out for
lis is yet unknown. But one thing is as
sure and certain as tho earth revolvcS upon
its axis--that is, within less than five years
Ashley county will have all the railroad
facilities that she needs. This is certain, if

REMARKABLY WEATHER CONTRA
DlCTlONS.

While the telegraphic wires are report
ing immense destruction of property in
Ohio and Indiana, from excessive rains, the
same agency brings intelligence of severe
northers, snow and freezes in Texas:
We condense, as matter of curious inter-
est, some OF the kilograms descriptive Of
this remarkable contrast of weather, north
and south:
FROM OHIO.
At Pittsburg tho loss by the flood in AL
leghany river is estimated at 100000, and q
number of lives arc reported lost on wreck
cd barges.
The following comes from Columbus, O.:
Reports from all parts Of Central Ohio show
tho highest water by from six to twenty in
ches ever known. Scioto river was IA in
ches higher than before, and the damage is
enormous, mostly to the inundated portion
OF the west side.
At Indianapolis, White river reached it's
highest at noon Monday, the highest point
it has ever been known to reach.
The Wabash river is high at all points,
and two spans of tho Wabash, st. Louis
and Pacific Railroad bridge are down.
At 1.oganspOrt, regular trains are aban-
tonel Floods throughout the State are
general, nearly all railroads having suffer-
ed damage from washouts and loss Of brid-
Ges.
At. Canton, o.. 100 houses were flooded.
Several local railroads in Ohio have sus-
pended operations, and number of rail-
road accidents are reported, involving an
occasional loss of life and destruction OF an
immense amount of property.
FROM TEXAs.
a dispatch from Dallas, dated the 81 h,
says:
The arctic wavc continues with unabatod
fury. At ! o'clock yesterday morning the
thermometer stood three degrees below
zero; thence it rose to seven above at noon
and fell TO zero at night. 1t went up to 20
to-day, but it is again falling. The whole
SUI face of the earth is covered with snow
and ice two or three inches deep. All trains
are out oftimo, and business generally is
suspended.
The following comes from San Antonio,
dated the 9Th;
The coolest weather since 1866 is felt in
this city. The following is u record of the
norther: Saturday morning ut $40 the
temperature was 10 degrees. Tho nOrther
struck here ut ll:2O, and by l:3i M. the
thermometer had fallen to SO degrees.
This morning the minimum Temperature
was II degrees and ut 1884 tho temperature
was:22 degrees. The military wires are
down and business suspended.
Houston reports as follows:
The norther, which reached Houston
Saturday afternoon, continued all day Sun
day. The Thermometer ranged very low
for this section ofthe country, and last night
SNOW fell to tho depth of two inches. The
ground is still white. a thaw commenced
this evening.
other points in Texas report the weather
equally rs cold. With cont radctions such
asthcse, forecasts of tho weather would APP
pear impossible and absurd.

Judge Robert j. Caldwell.

The subject of this notice, who has occu-
pied conspicuous position in North Lou"
isiana during tho past thirty years, was
born in the Parish of Caldwell in 1S31-and
died at Columbia near the place of his birth
on the End of February, 1888.
Judge Caldwell was admitted to the Bar at
Monroe in 1852, and within few months
after his admission became District Attor-
new from the 18th Judicial District, COM
posed of the Parishes Of Ouachita, Union,
Jackson and Morehouse. At this time and
for many years afterwards he resided at
FarmerviIie. About the year 1850 he re-
moved to Monroe, and at the breaking out
Of tho war enlisted i'll the Phillips Rifles
and served in the field during the existence
of that organization.
After the war, became Parish Judge OF
Ouachita, in which, capacity he displayed
acumen, learning, firmness, and impartial
ity, al time W hen men deserved the great
est credit for the display of the above
named qualities.
During the past decade, Judge Caldwell
has resided and practiced his profession at
Columbia, in the parish Of his birth. His
body was brought to Monroe for in
terment on the Fred A. Blanks last
Friday night, and on Saturday afternoon,
was quietly laid to rest in tho Monroe Gem
terry.
Judge Caldwell was a man Of undoubted
ability. His legal works, which we trust
will be hereafter published, will without
doubt give him a lasting reputation among
the law writer's of our State. He was a
Free-thinker i'll law, religion and politics.

SONG OF THE DYING.

A singular fact connected with tho fol-
lowing touching obituary is that the author
Judge X. J. Caldwell, did not survive to
see his lines i'll print, and the production is
probably the last Of his literary efforts-a
striking instance of dying man singing
his own requiem
Death swept her life in her full pride OF
womanhood. and the song of her life was
mingled with the notes Of the one we all
hope to hear up yonder.
She was Il young mothcr--tenderin her af-
fections-true to her noble and cultivated
acknowledgements in her nature-kind in
all her relations of life-active in all her
household duties. She was an ornament to
the household.
There is a mountain which represents
life-the Eastern side represents our youth
the summit represents the middle age
the Western side tells us, that our shadows
face to the Eastward. We go down into tho
shadows that meet us at the foot Of the
mountain.
These shadows we must enter-because
they tell us we have passed the Eastern
side, and we have passed the summit OF
life.
The deceased had not reach the summit
of the mountain-her shadow fell to tie
Westward. She had the pulse-quicken-
ing and joyous anticipations ola bright fu~
ture.
Even as she had reached the verge Of full
| womanhood, the destroyer came and told
| her, 'Thou art 1nine.' She passed over
the summit to the hereafter.
There is consolation-She believed in
the doctrines of HIM who uttered the great
prayer, and which gives hope that He will
| be there when she crosses the line that di
vides the shadows from the Celestial light
which she enters.
| In the morning, when the Judgment is
passed, her name will not be among those
on whose record the tear of condemnation
will be dropped.
