STORE BURNED.-1he store kept by Mes
srs. Samuel and Emanuel Kessler at the
head Of Grand Bayou lane, in Assumption
parish about seven miles below Donaldson
vile, was totally destroyed by fire Wednes-
day evening. The fire was discovered OF
Z O'Clock, half On hour after the store had
been closed for the night, and as it started
in the corner where the large cans of illu-
minating oils we're kept, the flames quickly
gained such Roadway that it WAS impossi-
BILE to subdue them with the limited means
at command. By hard work on the part of
the people who tiocked to the scene, the
adjacent residence occupied by the Kessler
brothers was saved. The store building
was the property Of Mr.. Anatole Landry;
it was very old and not insured The stock
of Messrs. Kessler Bros. was valued at
$1,000 and insured for $4,000. They wore
doing fine business and will rebuild at
once. 1t has been reported that the fire
originated from q lighted candle while oil
was being sold to customer, but one of
the clerks, Mr.. J. J. Steinfels, has called
at our Office to deny the rumor. He says
that man who had bought some oil during
the day came to exchange it, as it was not
the kind he wanted, and that when the door
OF the store was opened to admit linn, the
flames were seen blazing up from the floor
near the oil cans. The floor was covered
with dirt and sawdust, saturated with oil,
and the supposition is that this was ignited
by cigarette or cigar stub thrown down
by some careless person.

An Electric sluIce BOX.

The sluice box used is Of the ordi-
nary shape and size, in the bottom of
which are arranged wedge-shaped riff
lies, two abreast, but with the ends
reversed in every set. These rifles
are each about foot long and all are
covered with a sheet of zinc and cop
per, the copper being next to the wood,
The copper plate has the zinc fastened
to it SO that the zinc is not allowed to
touch either the rifles or the side of
the box. In this way it is claimed
that all electric current is generated
that precIpitates and catches all min
eral III solution passing off in the tail
lngs, and at the same time stronger
affinity is created between the mineral
IN is natural state and the plates.
The reversed motion given the water
and pulp in its passage through the
sluice box, by means of the alternated
ge-shaped rifles, will, it is conten-
ded, bring every particle of mineral ii.
transit III direct contact with the plates
which being charged with both cleo
tricity and quicksilver, will seize aud
hold the same. There is also suspend
ed in the sluice box small wheel with
copper arms that are also charged
with electricity. The current Of wa
ter passing ander this wheel revolves
it, thus again bringing charged cop
per surfacs in contact with the shines
and floating mineral in the water.-

How Tea is Aduiterated

The New York Tea Appraiser has
completed the investigation Of the
cases of teas brought to this countr y
by the FIintshire, and found that a
large proportion of it is grossly adul-
terated. He to-day presented his re-
port to the Collector, showing that he
had rejected 3,lu0 packages, which if
sold in the market might have there
realized about $4,000. These teas
consisted of green's OF all colors, sizes
and descriptions, some of which were
mixed with sand, some with gravel,
others composed OF exhausted leaves,
and still others being composed of dirt
and paste rolled into pellets. Above
five hundred packages of colored Ja
pan dust were also rejected on the
ground of high color and the admix-
ture of mineral substances intended to
make the tea heavier in weight. This
tea was also brought te this country
by water, on board the Flintshire.
The Collector and Appraiser of the
port of St. Lonis have forwarded to
Davies samples of this so-called tea
sent to this city by way of San Fran
cisco. The examination has clearly
shown that the stuff was only wild
leaves, indiscriminately collected and
dried aud sent to this country to be
palmed off as tea. This was intended
to be sent to a part of the country re-
mote from the regular markets, and
there disposed of as tea, regardless of
the fact whether or not it was an lnlu-
ry to consumers. Davies said this
morning that the new crop now arriv-
ing overland appeared to be of good
quality.

FEDERAL AID TO EDTCi.
TON.

The proposal to give aid to educa
ton in the States out Of the over
flowing National Treasury is gain
ing ground every day. AT first it
Vas looked on with suspicion by
the Democratic members of Con
gress from the South, who natura
Y cleared the Greeks and thosel
bearing presents" It was feared
that our school system would thus
he entangled. in the meshes OF a
tyrannieaI Federal supervision, and
that the Republican party would
thus gain inestimatle patronage in
one of the departments, where their
power would be most perniclous.
But as the scheme ripens it is being
stripped of its more Objectionable
features. There IS an element in
the North that sincerely repents it's
share in the prostration of Southern
prosperity by the merciless recon
s%truction policy, and would gladly
make amends by a generous policy
of National aid to education. An
other section Of opinion rightly es
Inmates the dangers of an ignorant
and unenlightened, suffrage, and
recognizes the policy of extending
a helping hand to the il~literate, in
those States which. are unable to
help themselves. AS a much larger
class, realizing that protection of
native industries is dependent on
the levy of a revenue on a liberal
scale, would gladly acquiesce in an
expediect that will give justifica
ton in popular opinion to the reten
ton of high duties.
We do not doubt, therefore, that
this Federal aid to education can
now be secured, with recognition
Of a method distribution that will
endanger no Southern interest.
The main features Of such a plan
must necessarily be shaped so as to
distribute the funds among the ed
ucational agents, and :proportiooed

cate aud clashing system of nation
al and State supervision. General
regulations may be readily agreed
on, assuming the just and proper
application of the national contri
button to the sound education of
the masses.
Aid distributed on these. princi
pies would be of boundless advan
tage to the Southern States, and
we wonder that the scheme has not
enlisted more popular enthusiasm.
The lack OF educational advantages
is one great reason why immigra
tion is backward in these States.
1t is time, therefore, that the sub.
ject should receive popular atten
ton. and that an interest should be
excited that will stimulate our re
presentatives to action in this mat
ter.-Capitolian Advocate.

that LAND GRAB!!-We print
to day some interesting facts and
opinions concerning the John Nc
Emery Land Grab and the workings
of Richardson, his friend of the
Registers Office.
Some time ago the SENTINEL
took the position that when McEn
cry was discovering sea marsh
lands aud locating his proportion
in other and high lands belonging
to the State, he was going beyond
the law of payments in kind, that
he should receive just such lands as
he dicovered.
The Attorney General now off
cially expresses the same opinion
The agitation Of this famous grab
has been productive of one good
result. 1t has caused the removal
of one speculator, at the expense
of,tee State, and placed an honora
bic ~ honest man in his place.
Whilst Mr.. LObdel has charge of
the Land Office, there will be no
plundering going on therein, sx
cept so far as this infamous Land
Grab act justifies it.

stand by the law, and will have no

THE VANHORN CASE

However honestly and conscieu
tionsly a public officer may dis
charge the duties of his trust, there
will not be found wanting a few
public journals, who will seize ev
cry occasion, warranted or other
wise, to censure and abuse him in
order thereby to subserve some per
sonal or political purpose. This
remark is suggested by an article
in the New Orleans Chronicle of the
25th. ult. wherein Gov. McEnery is
unjustly censured for refusing to
pardon one Dennis Vanhorn whilom
republican "strikey' of this parish.
Vanhorn was indicted in this par
isll Oh the 9th June 1876 for "felo
mlOusIy lying in wait and unlawful
ly and feloniously shooting and
wounding with Il dangerous weap-
on to wit; a shot gun, one Lovin.
cia Hoffman )" the penalty Of which
is death.
For this offense he was tried, on
the IL June 1876, in the District
Court then presided over by Judge
Taylor Beattie] by a jury composed
of three white and nine colored men.
who returned a verdict against him
of"GuiIty without capital punish
ment." This verdict was fully jus
tilted by the evidence and received
the endorsement of the community,
as it must have received that of
the presiding Judge aud Vanhorn's
own Counsel, for the records do not
show that a bill of exceptions was
reserved, new trial applied for or
appeal asked. On the 18th. of the
same month he was, sentenced to
imprisonment for tue term of his
natural life.
No complaint of political or color
prejudice can be urged against his
trial, as nine twelfths of the Jury,
the Sheriff and the Clerk of Court
(the latter being MI. Henry Frank
lin) were of his own color, and all,
together with the presiding Judge.
of bis own political party.
1t twas never dreamed of then
nor does any intelligent person to
day, who is at all familiar with
the trial, believe that he was "con-
victed Of an offense he never com
mitted," or that "his punishme ut
was excessive" On the contrary
the evidence was overwhelming of
his previous threats ; his attempt
on several occasions to take the
life of Belle Hoffman ; and of the
fact of his having sec,eted himself
up a tree and thence, awaiting the
dead hour o fthenight, discharging,
through an open window, the con
tents of his gun at his intended vic
tim, vino was then in the room. I'm
less it can be said that ':setting up
a tree" is not a dying in watt
which Of course none will contend
then only was he improperly con
victed. The law fixed the penalty
and it is hence not "e~xcessive."
Eleven months before Gov. Nj
chols' retirement Feb. 1871 the
friends of Vanhorn presented the
Governor with'a petition for pardon
which he saw fit, doubtless for
good and sufficient reasons, not to
grant.
Like application was made to
Gov. Wilt which, through many
par1ons were granted by Gov.
Willz after the petition of Vanhorn
was submitted, he likewise refused
to grant.
Upon the accession to Office of
Gov. McEnery the application was
repeated. Considering the fact
that his two immediate predeces
sors had had before them similar
